"But don't you worry, I'll write you a prescription now. As long as you follow the instructions and take these herbs for three consecutive days, I guarantee that your condition will be cured..."Leon saw that there was just a pen and paper in the car, so he grabbed them and jotted down the prescription."You... Ugh!"Ariel was so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to just pounce on Leon and bite Leon.Her suitors came in droves due to her excellence in various aspects, but she was never teased by them until Leon came along!At this moment, the light turned green at the intersection, and all the cars behind her honked at her to start driving.Since Ariel was still not in the best frame of mind, she stepped so abruptly on the gas pedal that she nearly rear-ended the car in front.After finally crossing the intersection, Ariel immediately steered the car to the side of the road and parked there.Leon just finished writing the prescription then. He looked up, glanced out the w
Leon had a resentful expression that looked more like a woman's than a man's."You deserve that for telling me all that stuff..." Ariel chuckled, amused by Leon's resentful expression.Her pretty face unwittingly became warm when she recalled Leon's teasing."I'll just consider myself unlucky then. Happy now?" Leon's expression remained sullen and he walked straight into the company without looking back.Ariel realized that she was in the wrong for what happened earlier, so she ran up to Leon and pulled his arm, saying, "Okay, okay. I know that I made a mistake. I apologize, okay? Please don't be angry with me anymore…""You're… apologizing to me? Are you being serious?" Leon was so surprised that he raised his head and looked suspiciously at Ariel. Not once did it ever cross his mind that someone as arrogant as Ariel would take the initiative to apologize to him. It was almost as impossible as seeing the sun rising from the west.Ariel blushed, "I'm serious. And thanks for helpi
"I haven't let you down, Miss Young. After some hard work and persistence, the Westpraise Group finally made a concession. They agreed to our profit reduction of five percent, and their general manager has already signed the contract. It will take effect immediately as long as you sign it!" Michael smiled proudly and presented the document in his hand to Iris.It was none other than a contract with the Westpraise Group."Amazing! I didn't expect Mister Duvall to negotiate this so quickly. He lives up to his reputation as a professional sales talent and the pillar of our company's future!""Indeed. Mister Duvall is very capable, so much so that the general manager of the Westpraise Group is willing to sign it in advance. This isn't something any random person could achieve!"...The company's executives poured praise on Michael and gave him their stamp of approval."You did well, Mister Duvall. Thank you for your hard work." Iris nodded in affirmation of Michael's ability."You f
As Iris pondered over whether or not to accept everyone's opinions, Leon and Ariel came back and walked into the conference room after pushing it open."Well, well! Mister Wolf's back. I wonder how the negotiations between you and the Wick Group went? Judging from your red face, you must be super ashamed after achieving nothing in the negotiation!" Michael laughed mockingly."That's a possibility..."Many high-level executives also laughed along with them.Before Leon could answer, several company executives who were closer to him quickly realized that something was wrong. "Hey, he smells of alcohol!"That statement was like a bombshell that nearly blew the minds of everyone in the conference room."What?""So his face is red because he was drinking? And not because he's ashamed?"Everyone exchanged stunned looks with each other until they finally came to understand what transpired"Is he serious? He went out for a drink under the guise of having a negotiation?""This is unpr
Since Leon volunteered to die this time, he did not mind giving Leon what Leon wanted!"That's right!""What happened is bad. We have to fire him!""Otherwise, how's the company supposed to operate in the future if our employees learn from his example?!" …The higher-ups were all furious, and they echoed what Leon said.Iris had a sour expression on her face. Leon was her savior after all. She did not want to fire Leon over such a small matter.However, it was hard to deal with everyone's anger. If she continued to protect Leon, how would she face the higher-ups of the company?!"Shut up!""Who told you Leon failed to get the partnership with the Wick Group?""You're just assuming things for yourselves!" Ariel shouted angrily in Leon's defense."What?""Have you guys already secured a partnership with the Wick Group?" Everyone was shocked. All of them looked at each other in doubt and confusion.The noisy meeting room suddenly fell into a strange silence."That's right,
Iris could not believe her eyes."Absolutely!" Ariel nodded and said. She was very shocked when Elder Wick suggested those terms as well. She could understand how Iris felt at that moment!"Good, very good. This is amazing!"Ariel, you're terrific. You secured an agreement with the Wick Group!"Y-you created a miracle!"Iris, who was always incredibly calm, actually jumped up in excitement. She immediately enveloped Ariel in a big hug in front of everyone else.She knew that Leon lacked any business acumen, and was not a professional. There was no way she would think that Leon secured the deal!She thought that it was all Ariel's work!"What? Could the agreement be real?!" Michael was dumbfounded.All of the other executives were dumbfounded as well."That's impossible! Miss Young, could you be mistaken?!" Michael had an expression of disbelief. He hurriedly picked the contract up from the table and took a few looks. When he saw that it was personally signed by Elder Wick
They knew very well that there was no way Leon's signature would be the only one there if it was Ariel who secured the agreement.However, they still found it hard to believe. Leon was just a mere secretary without any business sense. Yet, he managed to secure the Wick Group's cooperation, and the Wick Group willingly gave them so many benefits as well!It was practically impossible!"There shouldn't be anyone doubting me and this contract anymore, right?" Leon said calmly, sweeping his gaze across everyone again. He was helpless and unable to defend himself with his words earlier and suffered an onslaught of ridicule.Yet, he managed to prove himself, tossing the agreement in everyone's faces. He felt incredibly elated!"Mister Wolf, you must be kidding. The agreement is undoubtedly real…"The higher-ups were all incredibly awkward. It was as if they were slapped in the face in public. Their faces burned, and no one dared to meet Leon's gaze."Leon, I can't believe you're so
It was obvious how he felt about that!"Mister Duvall, you've lost the bet! You shouldn't be a sore loser. Do you have anything else to say?!" Leon looked right at Michael."I…" Michael paled, and his expression sank greatly.With things as they were, even an idiot could tell that he did not just lose, but Leon wiped the floor with him!Based on the bet, the loser would have to leave the company. It was not something he could accept.After all, it was incredibly difficult for him to climb into the higher ranks of the company. In two years, he put in so much effort and suffered so much. There was no way he would willingly leave in such a pathetic manner!"Miss Young, Mister Wolf won the bet this time.""But the bet was just a show. It shouldn't be taken seriously. Surely we can't have Mister Duvall leave the company over a joke?""That's right. Mister Duvall has contributed quite a lot to the company over the years. He's put in a lot of effort. I think we should forget about the
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
