It was unfortunate that she only realized it a little too late.The leader strutted over and glanced directly at Leon. "Where are you from kid? You've some balls of steel for hurting my men on my turf!"Leon set Iris down from his back and looked directly at the man with a relaxed and fearless gaze. "Who are you?""Ignorant fool! Let me tell you who he is. He's Felix Leopard Moneta, our boss who rules the area surrounding Mistcloud Mountain!" the man with the earring said proudly.By then, the commotion already alerted the surrounding passers-by. Some of the more timid and fearful ones left in a hurry, while the braver lot stayed behind and watched the situation unfold from a distance.When they heard the man with the earring announce the name of their leader, every single onlooker was startled and a hubbub immediately ensued."That's the man they call Leopard?!""Rumor has it that Leopard, armed with only a machete, hacked eighteen or so people more than ten years ago. They say
The consequences would be disastrous if Leon suffered several devastating blows!Besides, 700,000 dollars was nothing to her, and she felt that it was worth the trade to exchange that sum for her and Leon's safety."Are you serious?" Leopard was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He never dreamed that Iris would agree to his terms!Seven hundred thousand was no small sum, and he was swayed by it as it was practically his entire year's income!If Iris was willing to compensate 700,000 dollars for their medical expenses, whatever bad blood between the two sides would be written off! It was a solution that both sides could benefit from."Don't listen to her nonsense, Leopard! She came here with that kid in a shabby motorcycle this morning. I don't think they can even fork out seven hundred bucks, let alone seven hundred thousand!" the man with the earring sneered."F*CK! Are you trying to pull my leg?" Leopard was furious."I'm not. I'm telling the truth. If you
"If you leave this place and contact them as soon as possible, I promise I'll be fine by the time they arrive and deal with those thugs..." Ever since Iris was kidnapped by the gangsters last time, her grandfather dispatched additional staff to protect her safety from the shadows.However, she was not fond of having anyone interfering in her private life, so she told those people to keep a distance from her—they duly obeyed her and avoided getting too close.What happened in front of her was so sudden that she could guess without thinking that most of the people responsible for protecting her were just slightly too far away to notice the abnormality immediately.If Leon could leave and tip the news off to them, the entire problem would turn into a non-issue!"Iris, I don't care if this is a stop-gap measure or not. All I know is, I'll never leave you alone in the face of danger, even if there's only a tiny bit of danger!" Leon said decisively.He knew that Iris's method was much m
"Very nice! You asked for it! Give it to him, fellas. Tear this kid into shreds and toss him onto the street for the dogs to feed on!" Leopard laughed despite his anger and waved his hand to give his attack order.His underlings were already raring to go, and they raised their weapons one after another while charging fiercely toward Leon."Come at me!" Leon yelled. To protect Iris's safety, he did not leave half a step away from Iris's side and was even careful not to dodge the enemy's attack on a whim in case it landed on Iris once he escaped it.'I'm giving it my all!' Leon gritted his teeth, concentrated some spiritual energy on his back, and resisted the attack of the three iron rods before letting out a muffled groan. He then jumped into the air and kicked the three enemies away in a flurry of kicks.Two opponents with machetes seized the opportunity to try and hack Leon's head. Leon remained calm in the face of impending danger and reached out to grab one opponent's wrist. He
Leopard slashed Leon's back with the machete, and blood spattered in all directions, with some landing on Iris's face.Iris was shell-shocked, and her mind became completely blank as her ears began to buzz!She could feel Leon's warm blood, which contrasted greatly with her cold heart. It was as if doomsday was upon her and the world crumbled. Her face was drained of all color and she was so wobbly that she almost fell to the ground."Ouch..." Leon winced in pain, but fortunately, he already channeled his spiritual energy to his back as a defensive measure. Thankfully, the cut did not penetrate too deeply into his flesh, otherwise, he would have been half-dead, if not dead!"Now die!" Leon gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his back, and turned around to throw a punch at Leopard's chest. The force in that punch was so strong that it could crack a stone half!Startled by the sudden attack, Leopard's free hand formed a fist and greeted Leon's attack with a similar punch.A viol
Martial artists' true energy and inner strength refinement resulted in an extremely complex and changeable series of attacks. Leon's strength was only marginally greater than Leopard's, and if Leon relied solely on explosive strength, he would almost certainly fall short of Leopard!Leopard's fear vanished when he realized this. He raised his machete and began slashing at Leon.Leon was eager to put an end to things as soon as possible, so he slashed Leopard's attack without dodging it.As the two machetes collided, there was a loud clang and sparks flew."Time to bring you to your knees!" Leopard gave a menacing grin and began to pump true energy into his body. He charged toward Leon with the machete in his hand, attempting to use his true energy to attack Leon again.Leon's moves were becoming predictable, and Leon would be unable to withstand the second attack due to his lack of martial arts training. Leon was almost certain to lose!"You should be the one who brings them to t
Could someone like Leon still be considered human?Leopard once overcame 17 or 18 opponents on his own, thus making a name for himself through that one battle and cementing himself as an all-powerful existence! However, Leon beat 30 or 40 people by himself, and the very same Leopard was among his main opponents!One could imagine how terrifying Leon's strength was!At that moment, everyone was dumbstruck by Leon's bravery and invincible power!"Jess, is this... happening? I-I-I-I'm not d-d-d-dreaming, am I..." Jess's boyfriend stammered and his entire body trembled with fright. He finally realized how stupid he was when he recalled his foolish plan to teach Leon a lesson! Fortunately for him, he was one step slower than Leopard's men, otherwise he would have been the first to lie unconscious on the ground!"Babe, he's... He's too violent! We should stay away and avoid being seen by him..." Jess's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly pulled her boyfriend to one side and hi
Leon thought that the enemy brought in reinforcements. His heart tensed up and he had his guard up, but he soon realized that the other side seemed rather familiar.He took a closer look and immediately recognized that they were none other than Iris's six bodyguards."Miss! We're sorry for being late, Miss. Please do excuse our actions..."The six bodyguards knelt on one knee in front of Iris and had thoroughly displeased looks on their faces.The scenic spot was a public place with many people, making it an unlikely place for any gangsters to commit misdeeds. Moreover, Iris generally did not allow them to get too close to him, so they ended up being a little careless, and stood guard only as close as in the periphery.It was not until Leon fought with Leopard and the gang that the ruckus alerted them. Fortunately, Leon protected Iris relatively well in their absence. If the situation turned awry, they would probably be the ones to blame!"Get up! It's not your fault. I was the o
