"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?
"Old Geoffrey, that's enough!"Before Leon could block the attack, Francis leaped into action and protected Ruth from Daniel's power."Old Hunt, think twice before you act! Will the Hunts declare war against the Geoffreys and the Durkans?" Daniel roared."I-" Francis paled slightly.With the Geoffreys' involvement, the Hunts were placed at a disadvantage. However, as one of the three Major Families in Seacove City, the Hunts did not fear the Geoffreys and the Durkans."Old Geoffrey, old Durkan, this started because Tim and William attempted to rob Mister Wolf here. Even if they were injured, they brought it upon themselves! Since they aren't badly injured, the Hunts will mediate this conflict and convince Mister Wolf to let them go. Will the Geoffreys and the Durkans step back then?" Francis said.Though he did not fear them, the Hunts and Leon were at a disadvantage and if this turned into a fight, they would face inevitable defeat. It would be ideal for each side to make compro
"Did he just ask the Geoffreys and the Durkans to kneel to him?""Has he gone mad?"...The people around them gaped in disbelief as they stared at Leon.Though they all saw with their own eyes that Leon reached the Semi-Overlord State, Daniel and Owen were both martial artists who reached the Intermediate Overlord State years ago.The difference in power was far too great and the two could easily crush Leon, yet Leon dared to challenge them to a fight."How dare you, brat?! If it's a fight you want, that's what you're going to get!"Daniel and Owen were both provoked by Leon's arrogance and started gathering their true energy into the palms of their hands as they prepared to destroy Leon and rob him of the treasure he owned."Damn it! Mister Wolf, I'll stall these two. Take your friends and leave!" Francis saw right through their intention and paled, before stepping forward to stand in their ways.Though he was hardly capable of fighting both Owen and Danial at once, he could
"How arrogant!""Just remember that you asked for this!"Both Daniel and Owen were enraged, but as the top martial artists of Seacove City, they were far too proud to attack Leon together."Die!" Owen was the first to leap into action and darted toward Leon at lightning speed. At the same time, Daniel disappeared into thin air, only to reappear behind Leon to prevent Leon from escaping and also to stop Francis from helping him."Come at me!" Leon scoffed.He already predicted that a fight was inevitable and took the Dragon Pill ahead of time, so he had nothing to fear from Owen.Instead of backing away, he wielded the Double Attack to face Owen directly."You must be in a hurry to die, brat!" Owen narrowed his eyes ferociously and intensified the power he gathered in his fists to destroy Leon with one blow."It's over. That kid's going to die!"...The crowd sighed and shook their heads as none of them thought that it would be possible for Leon to withstand Owen's attack."D
"How's this happening? Could it be? Kid, are you in the Advanced Overlord State?!" Owen struggled to stand up from the ground and stared at Leon in terror.If Leon could defeat a martial artist in the Intermediate Overlord State, he had to be in the Advanced Overlord State."What?!" The people around them gasped."So he's not a Semi-Overlord! He is in the Advanced Overlord State!""My goodness! He's just in his twenties and he's already in the Advanced Overlord State? Is he even human?"...The other families who observed the conflict wall stared at Leon as though they saw a ghost.They all thought Leon was insane for challenging Owen and Daniel to a duel and promising to defeat them with a single blow; however, it turned out that Leon did not bluff and they all underestimated him."No! No way! This isn't real!" Daniel stared at Leon from the back as his heart sank.Daniel, Owen, and Francis were the top three martial artists in Seacove City and they trained hard for most of t
"Can he block Elder Geoffrey's attack?"...Someone in the crowd asked and everyone held their breaths as they stared at Daniel and Leon unblinkingly.They all realized that Leon might be in the Advanced Overlord State, but some still needed to be convinced as Leon was simply too young to be capable of such accomplishment. On top of that, Daniel snuck up on Leon and Leon might not be able to wield his full strength in such a hurry.If Leon was not in the Advanced Overlord State or relied on certain tricks, he would meet his demise."Please, you have to destroy Leon!" Hope returned to Tim and William's eyes as they prayed for Daniel to defeat Leon right away.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd around them, Leon's fist and Daniel's collided.Leon did not have the time to gather all his power in such a rush and Daniel's attack instantly penetrated the spiritual energy around Leon's fist. Leon tilted his body at the very last moment to dodge, but his chest was struck by Daniel's t
