Since the Dragon Corps decided to interfere and accused him of killing the innocents without listening to reasons, Leon knew that he might not survive if he left with them. If that was the case, he might as well try his luck. With his power level in the Intermediate Overlord State, though he might not be able to defeat them, he still had a chance of escaping.He could run and stay away for a time until the Dragon Corps gave up."Very well! You asked for this! If you want to die, I'll let you have it!" The man gathered his true energy in his palm and was about to attack Leon.Just then, the woman next to him stopped him. "Stop!""Cara, why are you stopping me?" The man questioned."Mark, we're just here to investigate, not for you to show off your power! This man is just a suspect at the moment, so can you spare him any accusation before we get to the bottom of this?" Cara scoffed."And we haven't gotten to the bottom of this? All the evidence you need is right before us. It's not
As the Northern King, Harold was a man of high status who wielded great influence in the community.Since Leon killed Harold, he knew that he would be punished to a certain extent no matter what once he left with the Dragon Corps.However, the Dragon Corps represented the country, and fighting them or escaping from them would not be a wise choice, so Leon had no other option but to accept whatever punishment the Dragon Corps deemed he deserved."Alright, then. I'll go with you," He decided.Cara seemed to be a just person and he decided to believe her for once."Alright, let's go, then," Cara smiled at him.Leon walked over, but Iris immediately reached out to grab him by the arm."Leon!" She looked into his eyes worriedly."Iris, don't worry. I'll be fine," He tapped her on the back of her hand even though he was uncertain about his fate. He then recalled Louisa and reminded Iris, "Iris, Louisa suffered great injuries and I can't treat her for now. Here are some Circulation Pi
"Mark, what's wrong with you?" Startled, Cara immediately sent her true energy to cancel out Mark's attack."What's wrong with me?! Cara, he's acting like that so that he can take advantage of you. Not only are you protecting him, but you're also blaming me?" Furious, Mark was instantly driven mad by jealousy."Can you stop being so petty? Just look at how pale he looks. How's he taking advantage of me? Besides, I'm old enough to be his mother! Why on earth would you be jealous?" Cara said with resignation."Cara's right!" Just then, an old man who looked to be in his seventies walked over. His appearance was ordinary, like any old man of his age, and did not seem special in any way."Master!"Startled, both Mark and Cara bowed respectfully at the old man.The old man was generally referred to as Master Haslewood, a mysterious man who retired three years ago after working at the Dragon Corps' main headquarter and temporarily took control over the branch in Springfield City.Sinc
Leon had to be in the Intermediate Overlord State if he could kill Harold. Most importantly, Leon was only in his twenties, and it was unheard of for someone his age to reach the Overlord State."Sir, I was forced to defend myself. I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it," Leon said weakly.He could tell that the old man before him was someone of high status and explained everything in detail, hoping that the Dragon Corp would spare him."Self-defense, huh? That sounds reasonable!" Master Haslewood said thoughtfully.He knew that Harold was known for his ruthless ways and believed what Leon said."Sir, does that mean that you can let me go?" Leon's eyes brightened up."Of course, not! Harold was still a powerful figure in this city and killing him in public will have a great negative impact on the community! Since you acted in self-defense, you won't have to suffer much," Master Haslewood said."How will I be punished, then?" Leon's heart sank."How about this? You'll be con
Cara's expression darkened."It's fine! Kid, I've lived for over a hundred years now, and every day I get now, I consider it a bonus and I'm glad that I can live another few months," Master Haslewood said calmly, not at all offended by Leon's words."I respect you for your composure, Sir, but if you get rid of the poison inside your body, you'll live for another few decades. Isn't that even better?" Leon asked."Poison? Brat, if you continue to run your mouth, I'm going to-" Mark roared, only to have his words caught in his throat at what Master Haslewood said next."How? Do you know that I've been poisoned?" Master Haslewood gaped at Leon in disbelief.He thought that Leon was merely cursing at him out of frustration for the punishment Master Haslewood mentioned earlier.However, Leon managed to see through the fact that he was poisoned and Master Haslewood instantly realized that he might have misunderstood Leon."Master, you were poisoned?"Both Mark and Cara were shocked.
"I'm too weak to lift my hand. I'll have to wait two days to recover because I treat him. Besides, the poison he took is rather effective and since he has delayed treatment for far too long, curing him will take a thousand-year-old Ganoderma," Leon said sincerely.Ganoderma could dissolve toxins in the human body and the longer it grew, the more effective it would be. If the Dragon Corps could locate a thousand-year-old Ganoderma, Leon was confident that he could cure Master Haslewood.Naturally, the longer a wild herb grew, the rarer it would be and the rarest specimen Leon saw so far was a five-hundred-year-old wild Panax.A thousand-year-old Ganoderma was ten times rarer than that and Leon did not even hear of anyone mentioning it in the past, so it would be quite a challenge for the Dragon Corps to trace down something that rare."What? A thousand-year-old Ganoderma? Where are we supposed to find something like that?"Mark and Cara looked at one another in shock.They both kn
Mark sneered.He did not believe that Leon would be capable of curing Master Haslewood and decided that Leon bragged from the shocked expression on his face."Why should I feel guilty? I mean what I said. If the Dragon Corps can find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma, I can cure him! I'm a man of my words!" Leon said decisively."Alright. It's a deal, then! Let's see if you are as capable as you claim!" Master Haslewood said.He saw by countless famous doctors and was disappointed every single time, so he got used to being disappointed and did not place much hope in Leon.It was only a final attempt out of desperation....In the following two days, Leon remained in the headquarter of the Dragon Corps to rest and slowly began to recover.On the third day, Mark and Cara found Leon and brought him to the meeting room to meet with Master Haslewood."I've found the thousand-year-old Ganoderma you asked for!" Master Haslewood said as he handed an ancient-looking box to Leon.Leon open
He followed Leon's instructions and sat on the couch next to him."Miss Cara, if my power falls short during the treatment, I'm going to need your help," Leon said."Of course!" Cara nodded.Once everything was in place, Leon pressed on a few compression points around Master Haslewood's heart to shield it from the following procedures.The poison that Master Haslewood took was extremely powerful and he only managed to survive the past three years with his tremendous true energy. However, the poison slowly spread and was not far from his heart at this point; once it entered the heart, Master Haslewood would be dead."I'm going to start now!" Leon said with a serious expression and pressed his finger into the Ghost Point of Master Haslewood.Pressure on the Ghost Point could help to control the flow of true energy and it effectively stopped Master Haslewood's true energy from circulating inside his body. The poison instantly surged and flooded toward his heart, but since Leon took
