"A cousin of the Scammells! She must be Aunt Priscilla's daughter!" Nigel was a little surprised to hear of all this. Although he had never met Priscilla before, he was still a direct descendant of the Scammells, and thus had heard plenty about her.He turned to glance at Iris, and when he laid eyes on her, he could not help gasping in awe.Nigel had always taken a fancy to pretty women and had seen his fair share of gorgeous ladies in this city, but this was the first time he had ever laid eyes on such a stunner. No woman in Sky County came even close to Iris' charm and beauty!The truth was, Springfield City was famous for breeding gorgeous women, and the fact that Iris managed to stand out from the rest and even become known as the prettiest of the Four Beauties spoke volumes about her beauty. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the entire Sky County, and not just the Southern Region itself."Uncle Damian, this is just a minor issue. I
Nigel gasped when he sensed the power contained within Damian's attack, and he wanted to step in and help Mister Umair, but unfortunately, he was not powerful enough to do so.Before he could even react, Damian's attack struck Mister Umair squarely in the middle of his chest and propelled him backward from the impact.Mister Umair spat out a mouthful of bright red blood as he crumpled onto the ground in a heap. A wave of excruciating pain shot through his chest, and it was clear he had suffered some injuries.However, Damian was just trying to teach him a lesson and did not put too much power into his attack. Therefore, the injuries Mister Umair had sustained were just minor ones. "What are you doing, Uncle Damian?" The color drained from Nigel's face. Mister Umair was related to the second line of direct descendants of the Scammells, and the fact that Damian had the audacity to attack him like this meant that he did not respect any of them at all."I'll repeat myself one last ti
Leon and Iris finally met Patrick, Iris' maternal grandfather in the living room. He was an old but powerful man with an aura of regency about him. Next to him stood a kind, gentle old woman, who was none other than Amy Scammell, Iris' maternal grandmother.Amy was so happy to find out about Iris' true identity from Damian that she burst into tears and pulled Iris in for a hug.As for Patrick, he had always been angry at his daughter for insisting to migrate to Springfield City and eventually met her end there. Therefore, even after finding out that Iris was Priscilla's daughter, he still kept his emotions in check and maintained a steely look.However, his quivering fingers betrayed his true emotions, and the truth was, he was just as delighted as Amy was to finally meet his granddaughter.After a long time, Amy managed to regain her composure, but Patrick was still worried that such an emotional outburst would not be good for her health, so he instructed Damian's wife, who was th
"Who is this, Iris?" Patrick asked, casting a gaze in Leon's direction."Grandpa, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Leon Wolf," Iris replied."Your boyfriend?" Patrick echoed, scrutinizing Leon with furrowed brows. Although Leon was a handsome man, he was still a far cry from Iris' beauty, and was no match for her at all."You must be a martial artist, young man. Can I know which power level you are at?" Patrick asked. He knew that the Youngs were a family of martial artists, and one of the four major families in Springfield City, no less. The fact that Iris' family had allowed her to date Leon meant that he surely hailed from a family just as powerful as the Youngs were. Therefore, Patrick was curious to know whether Leon was a talented martial artist and that this could be what attracted Iris to him."Well, I'm at the Peak Supreme State as of now," Leon replied earnestly. Although he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve and had defeated warriors of the Overlord and even the Emp
"What? Are you going to continue lying about this?" Patrick's expression turned even darker at this. He had had no qualms about Leon at first, considering he was Iris' boyfriend after all, but now, the fact that Leon had boasted about something that was not true turned his first impression of Leon sour!Damian was thinking the same. His first impression of Leon had been a great one when he witnessed Leon protecting Iris, but now, he was disgusted by the fact that Leon had lied about his power level. Not only that, but he did not even have the guts to admit his wrongdoing and instead tried to lie to get his way out of it! How shameless!Damian's liking of Leon dissipated at this realization."Grandpa, Leon isn't lying. He's telling the truth. He's a very powerful martial artist, to the extent that he's defeated warriors at the Overlord State and even the Emperor State," Iris said."What? He's defeated Emperors before? How…how is this possible?" Patrick and Damian could not believe t
"Never mind, Iris! I can't reveal my Potential Energy Forces just like that." Leon shook his head.A true warrior did not need to prove his worth, and he was certain that with time, he would be able to prove himself to Patrick and Damian, despite them not believing him now."Oh…alright!" Judging by Leon's reaction, Iris could guess that he had a reason for doing so and thus had no choice but to relent."You cannot do it? I'm sure it's just because you're lying!" A sneer crossed Patrick's face at this, and he grew even more certain that the man before him had tricked Iris!"Iris, this man is a crook, so you'd better not fall for his tricks anymore!" he said to Iris, attempting to foil Leon's lies so that Iris could see his true colors."Grandpa, no, Leon isn't a crook. You just have to believe me. He's a powerful warrior, and most importantly, he has a good heart. You will learn to appreciate his talent once you spend time with him." Iris tried to defend Leon."What talent does he
"Grandpa, what are you doing? Leon is my boyfriend and if you want him out, I'm going with him!" Iris had not expected Patrick to treat Leon with such disrespect and was about to drag Leon outside in a fit of rage."Iris, don't leave!" Damian panicked and stopped the two from leaving, before turning to Patrick. "Dad, they are guests, after all. Just let Leon stay!""But...oh, alright." Patrick compromised with resignation.Just then, following approaching sounds of footsteps, Penny stepped inside with an old man in his sixties; next to the old man was a young assistant who held a briefcase."Mister Yair, we've been waiting for you for the longest time!" Patrick greeted the man respectfully."I'm sorry, Elder Scammell, I've been too busy lately. Please forgive me for the delay..." Mister Yair smiled apologetically."You are too kind, Mister Yair. I am forever grateful that you are willing to make time for Damian, I'll leave him in your hands," Patrick said.Damian started noticin
Mister Yair checked Damian with medical equipment and soon came to a conclusion."Mister Yair, how is Damian?" Patrick blurted out asking."If I'm not mistaken, Damian has been attacked and suffered damages to his nerves in the past, which worsen over time, rendering him immobile," Mister Yair said confidently."Yes, that's right. I've indeed suffered injuries before at the hands of the Libertons." Damian nodded.The Libertons were the Scammells' competitors in business and Damian had been involved in a conflict with the Libertons two years ago, which ended with him being injured by a few Libertons. Since then, he started experiencing discomfort in his legs, which progressed into a complete loss of senses.Hence, he had always suspected his current condition to be a result of the fight two years ago. Reminded of the fight, his resentment for the Libertons grew, and at the same time, he was impressed by Mister Yair for making such a precise diagnosis."Mister Yair, can Damian be c
