After all, a warrior of the Overlord State was not an easy opponent to go up against in battle, and Leon was still young and thus had plenty of potential for his future! If he continued to go against Leon, there was the risk of Leon surviving and coming back to get revenge on them once he gained power in the future! "Master Young, are you worried that the rest of the Youngs won't be able to match up against Leon? Don't worry—he's only just attained the Overlord State, and the reason I lost to him was because I still carried some old injuries from my previous fight, and I severely underestimated him! he's all of his own, and with the help of your fellow martial artists, you can defeat him easily!" Harold added. He was not an idiot, and could easily deduce that since Leon just attained the Overlord State, there was no doubt he was yet to gain full control over his powers and was thus vulnerable. However, the last time he ambushed Leon, he suffered serious injuries as a result of G
Leon's tone was as cold as ice. Seeing that Melvin was still Iris's relative after all, he finally decided to give them another chance, and this was the last act of kindness he could offer to them!"Well, I guess you're right!" Melvin realized that Leon was right. If Leon managed to get rid of Harold as he promised, the Youngs would easily be able to reclaim everything that was theirs!Since then, why did he need to help Harold defeat Leon? This would just be wasting his time and energy!Seeing that Melvin began to get swayed, Harold quickly added, "Master Young, don't believe any of Leon Wolf's lies! Have you forgotten that you've been trying to kill him since the beginning? Do you think he'll forgive you so easily once he rises to power?""Um," Melvin was speechless at this. He knew that Harold was right; he attempted to kill Leon many times in the past, including the last time Harold tried to ambush Leon. It was Melvin's son, Jonah, who tricked Gilbert and Leon into this and e
Melvin scoffed. Then, without another word, he took lead and charged toward Leon at breakneck speed. The rest of the Youngs did not hesitate and immediately followed behind him, sprinting toward Leon, braced for combat. "Well, you asked for it!" Leon sneered. He gave Melvin plenty of chances, but Melvin failed to see this, and whatever he chose was outside of Leon's control! However, Melvin and the rest of the Youngs were not easy opponents. When he saw them charging toward him so ferociously, he did not try to retaliate and instead dodged their attacks. As he did so, he surreptitiously channeled his spiritual energy in his palms, in preparation to unleash his Double Attack when they least expected it! "Leon, why aren't you escaping?" George, who was engaged in combat against Walter and Denzel all this while, finally realized what was going on. He glanced in Leon's direction, and his face turned pale when he realized not only did Leon not escape while he could, he even c
This was impossible! "Oh no—" "Leon, quick, get back here—" Iris and Ruth's hearts sank when they saw that Leon was in imminent danger. Leon was only at the Initial Overlord State, and even if he tried to continuously dodge their attacks, there was nothing Melvin and the others could do about this, but Leon insisted on meeting them head-on. Did this man have a death wish? Neither of them could figure out why Leon behaved so recklessly. However, before anyone could react to this, what happened next shocked them entirely. "Thud—" With a deafening slam, Leon's spiritual energy tore right through Melvin and the rest of the Youngs' true energy, and his signature Double Attack soared through the air, heading straight toward them. When his energy crashed into them, Melvin and the others' spat out mouthfuls of blood as their bodies were propelled backward, finally landing in crumpled heaps a few feet away. "How’s this possible?" Both Iris and Ruth were stunned by this.
Then, he pinched himself on his thigh, and the pain finally reminded him that this was real, and not just a dream! "I'm beginning to wonder that too and if this is truly just a dream, I wish to never wake up from this," Albert said wistfully, his voice beginning to tremble from the excitement. Just the night before, he talked to Gilbert about this, and they both agreed that with Leon's current power level, he needed at least a few more years to break through to the Overlord State and stand a chance against Harold! Because of this, they finally agreed that they would try to separate Leon and Iris once more, and force Iris to accept Anson's declarations of love so that the Youngs would stand a chance against Harold and reclaim their power! However, fate decided to play a prank on him! He never thought, not even in his wildest dreams, that Leon would manage to attain the Overlord State overnight, and the Intermediate Overlord State, no less! Albert finally realized just how f
Just as everyone was still in shock, footsteps suddenly rang out from behind them as Goliath, one of the Collins' mightiest fighters, arrived with the rest of the Collins' backup. 'Oh no, the Collins' help has arrived!' Harold, Melvin, and the Fields turned pale when they saw this. What rotten timing! Leon and George were at a significant disadvantage up until now, but with the discovery that Leon attained the Intermediate Overlord State, combined with the arrival of the Collins' help, the scales immediately tipped in their favor. Although Harold and the Fields still appeared to be at an advantage when it came to the sheer amount of force they had, not only did Leon's side possess two martial artists at the Intermediate Overlord State—including himself—Harold and Melvin were already injured by him and were unfit for battle! Therefore, the tables turned, and it was now almost impossible for Harold and the Fields to defeat Leon anymore! "Oh good! The Collins have arrived!" exp
As for the Youngs, everyone knew that Leon was Iris's boyfriend, and since most of the collateral descendants were loyal supporters of their direct descendant cousins, none of them dared to go against Leon at all. Besides, not even Melvin and the other Youngs were matches for Leon in combat, so how could anyone dare to pick a fight against him? Because of the Fields and the Youngs' indifference, Harold and the Lowes were in immediate danger. "Rats!" Harold's heart lurched when he saw that everyone backed out of this, and his expression turned dark. The truth was, he was so powerful that even if he could not match up against Leon physically, he could still find a way to escape, but unfortunately, Leon's attack injured him so severely that he could not move, and the combination of his previous injury rendered him almost crippled. Besides, the rest of the Collins' were staring at him like hawks, and there was no way he could escape at all! "Walter, please help me!" Harold c
"Hahaha—" Leon could not help bursting into laughter when he heard this. "What are you laughing about, Leon?" both Walter and Harold turned to glare at him. "I'm laughing at how stupid you are! Harold, I won't hesitate to tell you that the Lowes are dead meat today, and yet you have the audacity to promise the Fields that you'll combine forces with them in the future!" Leon replied, sneering. "What? What on earth are you talking about? How’s this possible?" Harold gasped, unsure of what Leon talked about. "Of course it's possible! When I came here, I'd already notified Vincent, the Southern King, and instructed him to raid your hideout while you're here. If things went well, I'm guessing he must've gotten ahold of your entire territory by now!" Leon snickered. Ever since he found out about Iris and Ruth's capture, he guessed that Harold must have set up an ambush at the Youngs' and waited for him to fall into this trap! Since Harold set up this eloquent plan, this meant t
