"Leon, so you have been bragging when you said that you can cure my father!" Gilbert mocked when he knew that Leon could not wake Albert right away."Dad, treating someone isn't that easy! Besides, Grandpa is in a critical state right now. Isn't it normal that it will take Leon a few days?" Iris retorted."Who knows? Your injuries from the time before were much worse, but he revived you right away, didn't he? If he can't even wake Dad up now, how can he be capable of curing him? I think he just had the wrong diagnosis!" Gilbert said.He never believed for a moment that his father was attacked and was doubtful after hearing Leon's diagnosis, but was only forced into compromising since Iris supported Leon and reality showed that Leon could not revive Albert.Leon was extremely displeased for being doubted time and time again, but explained patiently regardless, "Uncle Gilbert, Iris was treated in time, so my treatment worked right away. It's different for Elder Young and his conditio
"He's fine! He should wake up anytime now!" Leon smiled."Wake up? Just look at him!" Gilbert roared as he looked at Albert's limp body. "You scammer, Leon! I already told you that you had the wrong diagnosis, but you insist on doing things your way."Gilbert grew increasingly irritated and the anger he suppressed exploded."Calm down, Dad! Leon said that Grandpa will wake up soon. Just wait!" Iris said, her voice growing weaker as she spoke.She trusted Leon at first, but Albert did not seem to recover throughout the days and she started to doubt if her father was right about Leon having the wrong diagnosis."Wait? I've been waiting for five days! Move out of the way, Iris. I have to teach this kid a lesson today!" Gilbert shouted as he gathered his true energy in his palm."Uncle Gilbert, I've been respectful and tolerated you because you're a senior, but I'm not scared of you. Please don't try me!" Enraged, Leon's expression darkened."You dare to threaten me, you brat?! I'm
He thought that Harold would kill him and did not expect to survive."Yeah! You're fine, Grandpa! Leon saved you," Iris said excitedly."Leon?" Albert paused and was instantly filled with joy when he saw Leon standing on the side.Right before he lost consciousness, the only thought in his mind was that Leon was the only one who could save the Youngs and seeing how Leon was inside his room, Albert assumed that the Youngs were saved from the hands of Harold with Leon's help."That's great! Even the gods are on our side!" Albert burst into laughter."Dad, what's wrong with you?" Gilbert hurried over in confusion."Gilbert, you did well! You noticed that Daisy plotted with Harold Lowe and teamed with Leon to fight them off, didn't you?" Albert turned to Gilbert and studied him with appreciation.He just regained consciousness and did not know what happened, but he was certain that Gilbert would be in charge after he fell ill. If Gilbert managed to get Leon's support in fighting Har
Furious, he slapped Gilbert across the face with all his might. "Gilbert, you moron! Look at what you've done!""Snap!"A sharp pain, followed by numbness, spread across Gilbert's cheek. If Albert did not lose all his power from the damage to his Energy Sea Point, he would have suffered severe injuries from the slap."Dad, why would you hit me?" He muttered in confusion."Why shouldn't I hit you?! You have ruined what the Youngs have built for the past hundreds of years!" Albert shivered with anger as he slapped Gilbert once again.He knew all along that Gilbert was a mediocre member of the family who was hardly comparable to the other heirs of the other Major Families, but was devastated when he realized that Gilbert was far more foolish than he anticipated.Leon sensed that Harold plotted something early on and took over Elegante Group, before wreaking havoc in the Young Mansion in hope to save the Youngs. Not only did Gilbert not join forces with Leon, he actively hindered Leo
Though reluctant, Albert was still his father and he could not disobey Albert, so he fell onto his knees."You sure look upset with me!" Albert could sense Gilbert's reluctance."I wouldn't dare to be. I just think that since Royce is my son, it doesn't really matter who becomes the leader. You didn't have to be so angry," Gilbert muttered."I didn't have to be angry?! You idiot! Royce isn’t your son! He’s the bast*rd son of Daisy and Harold Lowe!" Albert roared, exposing the secret that Daisy and Harold hid for years.Everyone inside the room froze in shock."What? That's not possible!" Gilbert could not believe what he just heard.Even the others, including Iris and Leon, were shocked as none of them thought that Royce was Harold's son."Not possible? Daisy was the one who told me about this, so it has to be true!" Albert spat resentfully."But," Gilbert fell into a dazed state as he realized that the son he raised for over twenty years was actually someone else's son."You
It was a shame that he only found out about it afterward."You!" Gilbert's expression darkened.He came close to fighting Leon when he first found out that Leon held Royce hostage, and finally realized how foolish he was at this moment.Though Leon did not mean to mock Gilbert, his words still pierced through Gilbert like sharp blades."Oh, my. Such a mess!" Ruth tutted and said.She watched as Leon treated Albert for the past few days out of curiosity, and thought that there was nothing to see when Albert did not wake up.In the end, not only did Leon revive Albert, she managed to watch such a dramatic scene unfold.Though she sympathized with what Gilbert was going through, she felt that he deserved it all when she recalled how he bullied Leon and came close to fighting Leon.Provoked by what Leon and Ruth said, Gilbert could no longer control the sorrow that took over him and spat a mouthful of blood."Dad! What's wrong? Are you going?" Startled, Iris hurried over to grab G
At the very least, they could not trust the Youngs with Daisy and Harold."You’re right, Iris! With your grandpa's help, we can definitely return!" Encouraged, Gilbert's spirit was uplifted and the despair in his expression faded.He walked over and kneeled by the bed. "Dad, I’ve been so wrong, but it's something that's already happened. Right now, the top priority is for us to take the control back from Daisy and Harold! Once you recover, you should be able to get rid of them with your power in the Intermediate Overlord State and your credibility within the family!" Gilbert said excitedly as he placed all hope on his father."That's easy for you to say! Harold destroyed my power, so what exactly do I have left to fight him with?" Albert questioned sharply."What?! Is it true that you lost your power? T- That's impossible!" Gilbert's jaw dropped.Leon already told him that Albert suffered damages in his Energy Sea Point, but Gilbert refused to believe him. After all, Albert reache
Elder Young, forgive me for saying this, but the Youngs you once knew are gone. Even if you head over tomorrow, Melvin and the others might not side with you!" Leon said hesitantly."Impossible! Melvin and the others are all Youngs. Are they supposed to support Daisy and Harold instead of me?" Albert shook his head as he shot Leon's advice down."I'll be frank, Elder Young. If you still have your power, they might back you up, but now that you’re powerless, they won't side with you even if they don't intend on submitting to Harold Lowe!" Leon said.He dealt with the Youngs on multiple occasions and knew better than anyone that the Youngs valued their own gains and nothing else.Since Albert was rendered powerless, he no longer held any value to the Youngs and they could not support him as the leader."So what if I've lost my power? Melvin’s my younger brother and he would back me up because we’re connected by blood!" Albert retorted.Though Leon saved his life, he was still displ
"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
