"Leon!"Theodore and Cynthia were both shocked to see Leon and Cynthia could not help but rub her eyes in disbelief.According to what she knew, Leon should be handling operational matters of his firm in Seacove City, yet he had appeared miraculously in front of her."Why is Leon here?""Look at him. He is probably here to stop the wedding!"...The audience were stunned as well as they knew Leon as the Fields' enemy and they were all aware of how Leon had also offended the Shears by calling off his engagement with Cynthia.Based on Leon's relationship with the two families, there was no legitimate reason for Leon to be at the wedding."I object to the marriage!" Leon ignored the others and strode up to the stage with a cold expression."Leon, what do you think you are doing? Shouldn't you be in Seacove City? Why are you back?" Cynthia sobered and stopped Leon anxiously.Had Leon returned to Springfield City the day before, she would be pleasantly surprised, but at the moment
"No way! I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on!" Leon's expression darkened.He conflicted feelings about Cynthia and with him dating Iris, he would send Cynthia his blessing from the bottom of his heart if she was marrying a man that she was truly in love with. However, Theodore was a known womanizer who did not deserve Cynthia.Theodore belonged to a family that was the enemy of both Leon and the Shears, so Leon could not understand why the Shears would agree to this and refused to leave before learning the truth."I'm begging you, Leon! Just go! I don't want you to get hurt, nor can I put my family at risk," Cynthia pleaded as she tried to shove Leon off the stage.However, Leon stood his ground and no matter how hard she tried, Leon would not budge.He grabbed her hand and said, "Cynthia, tell me the truth. What on earth's going on?!"Based on Cynthia's reaction, even a fool could tell that something was wrong and he refused to leave her behind."Leon, so you've
"Leon, now you know why we have agreed to this," Cynthia said and tears scrolled down her cheeks."So they are forcing you into it!" Leon's expression darkened.It was strange from the very beginning for the Shears to marry Cynthia to a descendent of their enemy and Leon finally came to realize that the Fields forced the Shears to comply with the Lapwoods' support."Leon, it's the jungle’s law and the Lapwoods are simply too powerful for us to fight back. Just leave," Cynthia muttered sorrowfully."Leaving so soon? No way!" Sean sneered and waved his hand. Instantly, two of the Lapwoods guards in the Advanced Overlord State darted forward and stood in Leon's way.Sean risked provoking the Dragon Corps to back the Fields up mainly to rob Leon of the Power Method he owned and since Leon was right before his eyes, Sean was not about to let him go. "Mister Lapwood, what is the meaning of this? Theodore has agreed that you won't hurt Leon if I marry him! Are you going to go back on y
Just then, Walter, Lilith, and the other Fields strode out from behind the audience stance."Theodore's right! Cynthia, you are getting married to him today and Leon's going to die!" Walter sneered and with his signal, the Fields surrounded the Shears within a blink of an eye.It was an unspoken threat directed at Cynthia, telling her that the Fields would attack the Shears if Cynthia dared to run away."Why you!" Cynthia's face flushed with rage. Despite how livid she was, she had no choice but to give up to protect her family from the Lapwoods."Leon, just leave before they do anything to you," She lowered her voice. Knowing what Leon was capable of, he would survive as long as he ran immediately and so long as she agreed to the marriage, the Fields would not harm her or her family."Run? Cynthia, I came here to stop the wedding! To hell with the Fields and the Lapwoods! Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Leon roared coldly.The crowd stirred at Leon's words."Are we heari
"Don't act all smug! You have one chance. Hand me the Advanced Power Methods you own and I can consider letting you live!" Sean said while suppressing his anger.The crowd froze in shock."What?""Leon has Power Methods?""Seriously?!"...They all glanced at one another with uncertainty and disbelief as Power Methods were extremely rare and valuable.The methods in Springfield City belonged to the Ultimate Progressive class at best and no one could comprehend how an orphan like Leon could come to possess Advanced Power Methods.The older generation of martial artists, such as George and Benedict, guessed that Leon possessed at least one Power Method based on how quickly his power grew, but it was all nothing but assumptions."How do you know that I have Power Methods?!" Leon blurted out.He avoided letting others know about the Power Methods he owned as he knew that it would draw unwanted attention to him, so no one was aware of that apart from Iris, Ruth, Cynthia, and a few
"Kid, hand over the Power Method now and I can spare your life! Don't worry! A man of my status would never lie!" Sean said greedily, all the while deciding that he would destroy Leon's power once he obtained the methods and break every single bone in Leon's body. That way, he would have fulfilled his promise of sparing only Leon's life."You want my Advanced Power Method? Dream on!" Leon scoffed."Very well! You asked for this!" Enraged, Sean was about to command his men to attack Leon, when Cynthia took a step forward."Hang on! Leon, if they want the method, just hand it over to them," Cynthia said.She knew that Leon owned Absolute Methods and an Advanced Power Method meant nothing to Leon, so it was a small price to pay if it meant that Leon could survive. On top of that, Leon might be able to bargain and get Cynthia out of the wedding so that she would not have to marry Theodore.She stared at Leon with anticipation."Yeah! Leon, Cynthia's right. The Lapwoods are far too st
"Leon, have you gone mad?" Cynthia asked in frustration.She always thought that Leon was a smart man, only to find that he was foolish enough to die over an Advanced Power Method."Don't worry, Cynthia. These idiots can't hurt me! I'll get you and the Shears out of here safely. No one will hurt you!" Leon deadpanned."But-" Cynthia's heart sank at his stubbornness."How arrogant! If it's a fight you want, it's what you'll get!" Sean roared. Though he desperately wished to tear Leon apart, he could not kill Leon before he obtained the method, so he turned and commanded his guards in the Advanced Overlord State. "Solomon, Eric, teach him a lesson. Just be careful not to kill him!""Yes!" Solomon and Eric immediately pinched in front and behind Leon."Cynthia, stand aside or you might get hit," Leon quietly swallowed a Dragon Pill, before pushing Cynthia gently down the stage to stand next to Ruth and Iris."Take this, kid!" Solomon darted forward toward Leon, while Eric fired up
"Leon, you idiot! Even if you don't care about yourself, what about me and Iris? If you die, what are we supposed to do?" Cynthia muttered....Cynthia and Iris paled in despair.All the people who befriended Leon, including Ruth, the Youngs, and the Pooles, were all devastated."Destroy him!"On the opposite end, the Fields all stared at the stage viciously in excitement.Leon was the Fields' biggest enemy and they were dying to get rid of him. Seeing how Leon was about to meet his demise, the Fields were overjoyed."Arrogant little brat! I shall teach you how powerful the Lapwoods are!" Sean sneered in contempt as he looked at Leon.Inside his mind, he was already planning how he would torture Leon into handing the method over; once the Lapwoods obtained the Advanced Power Methods, their influence and strength would escalate."Baam!"Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Leon's fist collided with Solomon's attack. As the others predicted, Solomon's overpowering energy to
