"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
"Elder Lapwood is so strong! He's unbeatable!"In contrast to the hopelessness Iris, Cynthia, and the others felt, the Fields looked incredibly excited. All of them started cheering for Orvald!Sean, in particular, looked incredibly happy. He was even starting to plan out how he would torture Leon when Leon fell into his hands. He needed to settle the score with Leon!Yet, when everyone there thought that Leon would definitely die, something that shocked all of them happened!Boom!When Leon pulled out the energy, an incredibly strong wave of pressure soared into the skies. It was as if even the air around them had changed. It contained an unrivaled power that threatened to destroy everything!"W-What is that?" Everyone, including Orvald, was stunned when they felt that immense power.It was just too strong. The terrifying aura immediately enveloped the whole area.In front of that power, everyone there felt like they were just a tiny ant. They started to feel the fear of dea
Boom!The first one to be hit was Orvald. One of his arms shattered, and his body flew back a few meters. He felt all the bones in his body being taxed, and the injuries were incredibly bad. He seemed to be struggling even to breathe.Compared to him, the four experts were in a slightly better state, but not by much. All of them spat out blood. They could not tell how many of their bones had been broken. They were all heavily injured.It was not just that. Sean and the Fields were not able to avoid it either. The remainder of the attack struck them. Quite a few of them paled as they staggered back a few steps, falling on the ground!However, they were much further away. Only a few of them had been affected badly because they were too weak to withstand the attack, and the others were fine."H-How is this possible?!"Iris and Cynthia were stunned by the sight.Elder Young, Benedict, and the others were too.Everyone present was absolutely dumbfounded.All of them looked at Leon
