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
"Scoundrels!" Leon furrowed his brows when he saw Tim and William heading straight toward Iris and ruth, and immediately understood what they were trying to do. However, he did not approach them at all and instead unleashed another Double Attack, aimed straight at the four Geoffreys in front of him. "Mister Wolf, quick, save them!" Quinton shrieked in horror, thinking that Leon did not realize Iris and Ruth were in danger. However, Leon did not even bat an eye, as though he did not hear him at all. "Good God! I can't believe he's ignoring the fact that his friends are in danger. If they fall into Mister Geoffrey and Mister Durkan's hands, he'll surely regret this!" "I agree, but I don't think he's ignoring them on purpose—he's being held up by the four Geoffreys and can't possibly get away to help them!" The philanthropists watching all shook their heads and sighed. They could easily tell what Tim and William were trying to do. If Tim and William got their hands on the t
"Hey, twats, now do you know who you're fighting against?" Ruth stepped forward, grabbed hold of William, and tossed him on top of him like a sack of potatoes. Then, with her foot squarely placed on William's body, stepping on top of the both of them and keeping them motionless. "Hey, girlie, let go of our master!" the four Geoffreys shrieked when they saw that Tim and William fell into her hands and immediately sprinted toward her, abandoning their plans to attack Leon completely. "Hey, you're supposed to be fighting me!" Leon sneered. As the four of them were distracted, he splayed his arms outward and unleashed his Double Attack, sending it surging straight toward the Geoffreys. The Geoffreys quickly realized that they lost their chance to save the two men and instead had no choice but to meet Leon's attack head-on. "Thud—" With a loud slam, the two martial artists at the Peak Supreme State at the lead pummeled into the air and landed on the ground in a heap. At the
"It's Mister Durkan and the rest of his fighters!" The philanthropists gaped in surprise when they saw this man and recognized him immediately. "Grandpa, you're finally here! This is awesome! Please, save me," Tim was absolutely delighted to see this and quickly yelled at the top of his lungs, trying to catch their attention. Ever since he discovered that the Mirror of Aegis was truly a piece of treasure, he wanted to steal it from Leon ever since, but knowing that Leon was Quintan's friend and thus had the Hunts on his side, he knew that this would not be an easy feat. Therefore, he secretly contacted his grandfather, Owen, as soon as he could, and this was how Owen managed to arrive at the scene so quickly! "Who the hell are you, punk? You'd better let go of my grandson right this instant!" a dark expression crossed Owen's face when he caught sight of Ruth with her foot poised over Tim's face. "Who the hell are you, old man? Do you think I'd let him go just like that
"Tsk, Semi Overlord State, so what? I'll give you one chance, punk—let go of my grandson right now, and break your arm in retribution. If you do that and hand over the treasure at the same time, I might consider forgiving you!" Owen declaredly coldly. The Durkans were one of the three major families in Seacove City and possessed just as much, if not more, power and influence as the four major families of Springfield City. Not only did they possess a few elders at the Semi Overlord State, but even two more warriors at the Overlord State! Owen himself already advanced to the Intermediate Overlord State just a few years ago, and was only a few steps away from attaining the Advanced Overlord State! With such incredible martial arts prowess, it was no wonder he did not care for Leon at all! "You Durkans sure are cocky!" a dark expression crossed Leon's face as he became infuriated by Owen's attitude. "Mister Durkan, you're arguably one of the most respected people in this city,
"It's you, Old Hunt!" Owen's expression darkened when he caught sight of Francis. "Old Durkan, you came from a prestigious family, after all, but I can't believe you're willing to bully a foreigner just to get your hands on a piece of treasure! Are you Durkans so shameless as to commit daylight robbery like this?" Francis snarled as he and the rest of the Hunts finally reached Leon and Quinton's side. "I-" the color drained from Owen's face, but he had nothing to say to that. However, now that the treasure was right before his eyes, he could not give up on it just like that, no matter what Francis said! "Old Hunt, this twat injured my grandson, and I have to avenge him for this! This is between me and him, and has nothing to do with you Hunts at all, so you'd better stick your noses elsewhere!" Owen replied coldly. "What if I insist on sticking my nose in this?" Francis said frostily. "Are you insisting on making us Durkans your enemy?" Owen snarled. "So what if I am?
