The dazzling beam of light emitted from the Mirror of Sovereign almost blinded everyone in the room. As the regal aura of power washed over them, everyone, except Leon, instinctively took a step back, their faces pale with fear. Not only that but some of the weaker martial artists were forced onto their knees as though an invisible force washed over them, forcing them to show their respect. "This mirror is truly a treasure!" "How's this possible?" Everyone's jaw dropped at this, especially Jared. The Powells pored over the Mirror of Sovereign for days on end, and everyone agreed that this was just an ordinary antique, and he could not believe how this mirror turned out to be treasure as soon as it landed in Leon's hands! One could only imagine the shock he felt at this. "This- Not only is this a piece of treasure, but it harbors great power that we cannot even begin to imagine!" Everyone stared at Leon with bloodshot eyes, filled with so much longing that they thought
Meanwhile, beneath the stage, Iris and Ruth were overjoyed and immediately grabbed hold of Leon's arm in excitement. "Leon, I never thought the Mirror of Aegis would turn out to be a piece of treasure! You're so smart," Iris was so excited that her entire face flushed scarlet with glee and exhilaration. All her previous thoughts of condemning Leon flew out the window. "Of course!" Leon smiled. Not only did he manage to get his hands on the Snow Lotus, but he even stumbled upon the Mirror of Sovereign by accident. Therefore, he was grinning from ear to ear. "Damn it, Leon. You knew the mirror was a piece of treasure, yet you didn't say anything! I can't believe you let Iris and I worry about you for nothing," Ruth could not help expressing her annoyance at him. "What on earth are you talking about? Do you think I would've been able to compete against them if I told you about the mirror?" Leon rolled his eyes. "Well, I guess you're right." Ruth immediately glanced at the re
"You're going to make me pay for this? Are you doing this because of the treasure?" Leon immediately realized what was going on. Now that Tim showed up without warning, Leon could easily guess what his true intentions were—it was clear that Tim was trying to snatch the treasure away from him, under the pretense of getting revenge on him for outbidding him! "So what if I am? If you want to get out of here alive, you punk, you'd better hand the treasure over and apologize to me. If you do, I might consider letting you go!" Tim did not attempt to hide his true intentions now that Leon saw right through him. "You? What a joke!" Leon could not help chuckling at this. Tim deliberately tricked him into spending an extra 70 million dollars on the Snow Lotus, and it was already generous enough of him not to get revenge on Tim for doing so, but Leon never thought that Tim would even dream of trying to steal the Mirror of Sovereign from him! This was outrageous! "Shut your mouth, you pu
"What if I don't want to do that?" Leon raised his brows. He was surprised to see that Tim was not the only one eyeing the Mirror of Sovereign, but William joined in as well. "No one ever dares to say no to the Geoffreys! Since you're unwilling to lend it to me, I shall take it from you by force!" William's expression darkened, and the smile disappeared from his face. "William, are you trying to side with Tim and make us your enemy?" Quinton snarled. "We should be asking you this instead, Quinton! Are you insisting on making the Durkans and the Geoffreys your enemy because of punk like him?" Tim sneered. Now that William joined in, he immediately became confident that he could easily win against Leon. "Mister Durkan is right! Quinton, you'd better think twice. Mister Durkan and I are just targeting this Wolf fellow, and if you don't stay out of this, you shouldn't blame us if you get hurt during the fight!" William replied coldly. "You—" Quinton's heart sank at this. Altho
"You want to escape? Not so fast!" Seeing that Quinton murmured in Leon's ear, Tim immediately understood what they were trying to do, and with a wave of his hand, the Durkans' martial artists rushed forward and surrounded them. William, too, followed suit—with a sharp command, the rest of the Geoffreys' martial artists stormed forward and joined the Durkans, blocking Leon's escape path entirely. "Rats! Mister Wolf, quick, escape while you can!" Quinton's expression turned dark. Then, he quickly sprang into action, ordering the Hunts to get in their battle stance, intending to hold off the Durkans and the Geoffreys before they could seal off Leon's way. "Escape? Why should I escape?" Leon said calmly, reaching out to stop him. "Um," Quinton paused, unsure of what to think of this rather stupid question. Then, he quickly replied, "Mister Wolf, I know you're a powerful man, but they've severely outnumbered us, and we're no match for them at all! If you don't run while you can, t
At the same time, Tim bellowed, "Get ahold of that punk—don't let him escape!" Then, the four martial artists stormed forward, channeling their powerful auras as they barreled straight toward Leon. These four masters were some of the most powerful martial artists amongst the Durkan descendants, and considering their status, they would never have even given Leon the time of day, if it were not for the fact that Leon insulted their entire family lineage and infuriated them. However, most importantly, Leon had the treasure with him, and they could not afford to let him escape. To prevent any accidents from happening, the four of them decided to team up against him so that the chances of something going wrong would be greatly minimized. "That punk's dead meat!" "Yes, now that the two Advanced Supreme State and Peak Supreme State warriors have ganged up on him, there's no way he'll be able to get out of this alive, no matter how powerful he is!" The spectators sneered as they
The two martial artists at the Advanced Supreme State were utterly shocked to see that both their companions were defeated by Leon. Before they could even react to this, Leon extended his fists once more and sent another surge of energy hurtling their way, without even having to unleash his Double Attack. "Oh no," The two martial artists gasped in horror and instinctively sprang backward, trying to dodge Leon's attack. However, they were no match for Leon at all, and even though they dodged just in time, Leon's energy still managed to catch them by the hair. The colors drained from their faces as the impact sent them staggering backward and finally landing in a heap on the ground. Then, they felt something lurch into their throats, and both spat out mouthfuls of blood that indicated they suffered internal damage. "What- How can this be?" Quinton, Tim, and William were utterly stunned by this. Everyone watching, except Iris and Ruth, was rendered speechless by this turn o
"Don't flatter me, Mister Hunt. I just got lucky, that's all," Leon replied, smiling. Ever since he attained the Intermediate Foundation Phase of his sage arts training, his martial arts also advanced to a point where he was no different from attaining the Semi Overlord State now. Therefore, he did not deny when Quinton said this at all. "Thank God we didn't act rashly," Some of the philanthropists could not help feeling relieved that they did not attempt to steal the treasure away from Leon now that they saw how powerful he was! Fortunately, none of them attacked—considering that Leon was already in the Semi Overlord State, none of them would ever have stood a chance against him! Tim and William, on the other hand, were furious at this. They thought Leon was just being arrogant when he asked them to attack him at the same time, but now, they finally realized that Leon was telling the truth. They both underestimated him! "It's your turn now! How dare you two rascals even
