"But," Snow wanted to protest, but before she could do so, Vincent interrupted her, "No but's! I'll give you two choices. You can either follow Leon to Sky County, or you can stay in Springfield City and marry the man I arranged you with!" he scoffed. He knew that Snow got her heart broken a few years ago and thus did not dare to interfere in her love life ever since, but now, seeing that Snow was getting older, he could not wait any longer. Recently, he introduced a few handsome and outstanding men to Snow, but not only did Snow reject them all, but she also did not even seem willing to settle down with anyone of them! Vincent was beginning to get frustrated by this, but when he found out about Leon's plans, an idea popped into his head. He would ask Leon to bring her along with him to Sky County, on the one hand, to help Snow move on, and on the other hand hoping she would find someone she liked in Sky County, which certainly harnessed far more bachelors than Springfield City
"What's wrong, Mister Poole?" Leon shot him a puzzled look. "Leon, from now on, Snow's in your hands! Please help me take care of her once you're in Sky County, and don't let any harm come her way," Vincent said solemnly. As a father, he could not help feeling worried now that his daughter was about to embark somewhere far away. However, knowing that Leon was an outstanding martial artist that possessed exceptional skills that surpassed even those at the Overlord State, he knew that his daughter was in good hands. "Don't worry, Mister Poole. I'll take care of Snow and the rest!" Leon nodded as a heavy feeling surged into his heart. The reason he was reluctant to let Ruth and the other girls follow him to Sky County was that every one of them came with insurmountable responsibility placed on his shoulders!After breakfast, Leon and the rest got themselves ready for departure. Vincent was not the only one who came to see them off; the Youngs, the Shears, and the Collins, as well
Sky County was demarcated into five distinct regions, namely the Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern, and Central Regions. Each region spread over a vast territory, more than several times the size of Springfield City or Seacove City.The Southern Region was the one nearest to Springfield City and was where the Scammells lived.After traveling by car for seven or eight hours, Leon and the rest finally managed to arrive before it got dark out, and checked into a luxurious five-star hotel nearby. After a good night's rest, they went out for a spin around town the next morning, to get a better idea of their surroundings while at the same time trying to find a real estate agent to discuss the prospects of buying a house here. Finally, after visiting countless showrooms and real estate agencies, a beautiful villa on the Southern hillside caught Leon's attention. The villa was very big, spanning over a few thousand square feet. However, since the villa was located in the hills, it w
"What's wrong? Why are you screaming all of a sudden?" Leon's thoughts were interrupted by Ruth's shrieks, and he could not help shooting her an annoyed look. Iris, Cynthia, and Snow all turned to stare at her. "We've forgotten to hire a maid! Who's going to make dinner, now that the sun has already begun to set?" Ruth said, turning to glance at Iris. "I've never cooked before," Iris shook her head. "I don't know how to cook, either." Cynthia, too, shook her head. The three of them turned to stare at Snow. "What are you looking at me like that for? Do I look like I can cook?" Snow rolled her eyes. "Um," the four of them gaped at each other in silence. They were the Four Beauties of Springfield City and were always the apple of their parent's eyes. Therefore, none of them ever once needed to step into the kitchen, much less cook for themselves! "Never mind. Let's go out to eat." Iris was the first to break the silence. "There's no need for that. I'll make dinner!
"Stop! Who are you? This is a private residence, and no outsiders are allowed!" the guards snarled at Leon and Iris as they puffed their chests out proudly. They had a perfect reason to be proud—Sky County was a far more advanced city that surpassed both Springfield City and Seacove City in all aspects, including economics and geographical location. Any family that could land on their feet and build their empire here in Sky County possessed immense power—at the Basic Power class, at the least. Since the methods belonging to the Ultimate Progressive class were not fast enough, one could usually only acquire the Intermediate Overlord State and rarely reached the Advanced Overlord State, but this was not the same for the Basic Power class methods—martial artists practicing this could easily advance to the Emperor State! This meant that all the major families in Sky County possessed at least one member at the Emperor State, and sometimes, more than one, with countless others at the
"What's going on here?" All of a sudden, a mustached man in his forties strode over, followed by two guards of his own."Mister Umair, sir, this woman claims to be a relative of the Scammells and wishes to meet our master." the guards reported."A relative?" Mister Umair froze, turned to glance at Iris, and was immediately mesmerized by her beauty.However, it was one thing to be in awe of her looks, he did not recognize her at all."Nonsense! Are all of you blind? They're clearly crooks trying to trick their way into the mansion, not any relative of the Scammells at all! Chase them away!" he scoffed.He was also a distant relative of the Scammells but only joined the family over a decade ago. He did not even hear of Priscilla Scammell, the second daughter of the family, much less her daughter Iris!"Yes, sir!" The guards immediately turned to shoot Leon and Iris murderous glances and snarled, "Get lost, you crooks!"Iris was always a lonely child growing up and thus always crav
"Yes, sir!" the guards immediately surrounded Leon and Iris."Tsk, you're just a bunch of shrimps!" Leon was utterly enraged by this. He had expected the journey of reuniting Iris with her family to be a smooth one, and he never once thought the guards would pester them like this. Not only did Mister Umair fail to help pass their message to the Scammells, he even tried to overpower and capture them! This was outrageous!"How dare you look down on us, you punk? Eat this!" The guard was infuriated to hear this and immediately lunged in Leon and Iris' direction.Initial Innate State! Leon did not even blink when he sensed the guards' power level, and immediately shielded Iris' body behind his, getting poised to unleash an attack."Be careful, Leon!" Iris cried out with a worried look. She was not concerned about Leon getting hurt, she knew the extent of his power and did not think he would lose to them. But instead, she was worried that he would accidentally hurt them during the proce
"Mister Umair, isn't it? Well, can you help Iris and me notify your masters that we're here now?" Leon straightened up and cast Mister Umair a steely look."Don't be so cocky, you punk! You're just at the Initial Innate State, and yet you dare to show us up right on our territory, I'll show you who's boss!" Mister Umair sneered. Although he did not know how Leon managed to defeat the guards so easily, he could tell by now that Leon was only at the Initial Innate State.He, on the other hand, was more powerful than the guards, and had already attained the Peak Innate State! Leon was no match for him at all."Tsk, what an arrogant fellow! I'll give you a taste of your own medicine!" Leon scoffed and got prepared to attack. If this fight caused too much of a commotion and alerted the Scammells to their presence, it would work greatly in their favor."How dare you! We'll see who's laughing at the end of this! Take this!" Mister Umair shouted and set a surge of power barreling Leon's wa
