"Tool?"Iris and Ruth both came to a realization when they heard Chester.The others might be clueless, but they both knew that Leon obtained the Mirror of Sovereign during the auction in Seacove City.They connected the dots and concluded that the Mirror of Sovereign was a defensive tool that could fend off even the attack from martial artists in the Peak Overlord State."Just how lucky is Leon?""Not only does he have an Advanced Power Method, but now he has some kind of defensive tool as well? That lucky jerk!"...Once the others recovered from the initial shock, they all turned to look at Leon enviously.If Leon was not powerful, they would have all charged at him in an attempt to steal his training methods and tools."Damn it! If I knew that Leon was a defensive tool, I would've never lost to him," Chester gritted out in frustration."It's all over."Sean and the Fields were devastated, as they all knew that with all the Lapwoods guards defeated, none of them had the p
"Old man, the Fields used the Lapwoods to act so arrogantly in front of us yesterday. It's our time for revenge!" Benedict reacted very quickly. He charged forward with the experts from the Shears, holding back Walter and the others."Me too! Elder Shear, I'll help you out!" Vincent laughed as he joined the fray, leading his family into the battle.He knew that the Fields were Leon's enemies. He owed Leon so much. He did not even need to think about it as he immediately stood on Leon's side.Looking at the battle on the stage, Elder Young could not help but frown.Leon was going to be his son-in-law. The Youngs naturally needed to help Leon.However, ever since the family was broken up, there were not many experts left. Even if they joined, they would not be able to help much."Gilbert, bring our men to seal off their retreat. Don't let the Fields escape!" Elder Young said decisively.Even though they were not able to help Leon against any strong opponents, they could easily hel
"Grandfather, you're finally here. Hurry up and save me…"Sean looked elated at the old man's arrival. He hurriedly shouted out for help.That old man was his grandfather, the head of the Lapwoods of Sky County, Orvald Lapwood!Ever since Sean found out Leon could have an Advanced Power method, or something even better, he immediately relayed the information to Orvald!For the Lapwoods, any methods at that level were incredibly rare and valuable. It was something they could not get, even with any amount of money!Yet, it actually appeared at an insignificant place like Springfield City. Orvald was incredibly happy. He immediately hurried over with a few of his men and had just arrived."Who are you?" Leon frowned when he felt the terrifying aura coming from Orvald. He suddenly felt incredibly uneasy."Brat, listen well. This is Elder Lapwood, the head of the Lapwoods of Sky County!" A subordinate proudly reported who Orvald was."What? The head of the Lapwoods?""He's actual
"What? OId man, if you do anything rash, I'll cripple Sean right away!" Leon was shocked, but he reacted quickly and immediately grabbed Sean from the ground, trying to threaten Orvald.Yet, no matter how fast he was, Orvald was several times quicker!Before he could even pick Sean up, Orvald already appeared in front of him incredibly quickly, striking his chest with immense power.The clear sound of bone cracking could be heard. Leon did not even have the ability to fight back as he was sent flying several meters back by Orvald. He shot back like a cannonball before he fell below the stage.After he fell, Leon spat out mouthfuls of blood. He felt like at least seven or eight of his ribs had been cracked, and he was obviously injured heavily.However, he had the protection of the Mirror of Sovereign around his chest. Ever since he got the mysterious power of his ancestors, his body seemed remarkably capable of taking hits and recovering as well. Otherwise, he would probably alr
Orvald was surprised that he had failed to kill Leon in one blow.However, he did not really care about it. He helped Sean up with his hand."Sean, what happened here? Why are you in such a state?" Orvald asked with a frown.From what he knew, Springfield City was just a small city in Sky County. The strongest amongst them should only be at the intermediate Overlord State. There was definitely no one stronger than the advanced Overlord State!Sean had brought two advanced Overlord State and one peak Overlord State guard with him, so Orvald could not understand why Sean had lost!If he had not reached the place in time, Sean would probably have been crippled by Leon!"Grandfather, this is what happened…"Sean explained everything. He had just mentioned that Leon had an Advanced Power method when Orvald suddenly stopped him."Sean, you're saying that this Leon has an Advanced Power class method?" Orvald said anxiously.Orvald had only heard that it was a possibility. It had been
"Leon, Elder Lapwood is just too strong. You're no match for him! I think we'll help you hold him back for now. You should take Iris and run! With your skills and the treasure you have, you might have a chance at escaping," Elder Young immediately said."Yes, Elder Young is right! Leon, you should leave first. We'll do our best to hold him back and buy you some time." Vincent nodded.He knew very well that all of them were already on the same boat as Leon the moment they worked together against the Fields. If the Lapwoods got Leon, things would not end well for them either!The Fields would not let them off that easily!Since that was the case, it was better for them to gamble on it. If Leon could escape, it would be worth any price they had to pay!" "I…" Leon opened his mouth, but Benedict interrupted him before he could say anything."Leon, bring Cynthia and Harvey with you. I'll leave those siblings to you," Benedict said seriously.Even though the Shears and Leon had a fall
Orvald had a cold look in his eyes as Elder Young, Leon, and the others mumbled in discussions. He quickly realized what Elder Young and the others were planning."You're trying to escape? It won't be so easy!" Orvald scoffed as he waved. After that, the four experts he brought over immediately fanned out, sealing any path of escape."Despicable!"Looking at the path behind them being cut off, Elder Young, Benedict, and the others felt a chill in their hearts!"Leon, you idiots! We asked you to run, but you kept on being stubborn and refused to listen! Look at it now. You can't even run if you wanted to!" Elder Young berated in frustration, unable to stop himself from silently cursing at Leon's failure."Elder Young, don't worry. They can't do anything to me!" Leon responded calmly. However, he actually felt a little anxious inside, feeling nowhere near as confident as he looked."You…" Elder Young, Benedict, and the others had sour looks on their faces when they heard that!T
"Has Leon gone crazy?""Even staring death in the face, he's challenging Elder Lapwood. Is he sick of living?!"All of the major families were looking at Leon with disbelief. They felt like they were looking at an idiot.They knew very well that Orvald was in a noble position. Since Orvald had given his word, Leon would be able to survive with his life as long as he obediently gave his method and treasures over, even if his power might be crippled.Yet, Leon did not take the chance to do that and keep his life. He even said he would destroy the Lapwoods!Was that not a death wish?!"Leon, are you suicidal?"Cynthia and Iris both looked at Leon with a dumbfounded expression. The hope they had earlier was completely extinguished!Of course, it was not just the two of them. Even Elder Young, Benedict, and the others were quite infuriated by Leon's arrogant words!They could understand Leon not wanting to give up his treasure and his method, but Leon had no reason to anger Orvald
