"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
"No! You can't take the Snow Panax Pill!" Leon's expression darkened and he stepped forward."What are you doing?"Everyone, including Damian, Patrick, and Penny, turned to look at Leon in confusion. Iris, who was standing next to Leon, was confused as well."There's a saying that a quack is as lethal as a snake. I didn't believe it in the past, but looks like it's true after all!" Leon scoffed."Kid, who are you calling a quack?!" Mister Yair's expression darkened and he glared at Leon angrily."You, of course! Damian has been poisoned, yet you diagnosed that he suffered nerve damage and tries to feed him something that would worsen his condition. That makes you a quack!" Leon spat coldly.Through studying Damian's true energy, Leon had been able to tell that Damian was poisoned. If Mister Yair simply failed to see what the issue was like the doctors who came before him, it would not cause Damian any further damage; however, Mister Yair had given Damian a medication that could p
"Brat, I'm warning you! There's a limit to my patience! Run your mouth again and I will make you pay for it!" Patrick glared at Leon.After what Leon had said earlier, Patrick had already assumed that Leon was a liar and not only had Leon refused to apologize, his actions had escalated and he had hindered the treatment for Damian on purpose."I'm not lying, Elder Scammell. I'm telling the truth!" Leon said firmly. He would have left a long time ago if he was doubted time and time again by others; but since the Scammells were Iris's family by blood and this was a matter of life or death for Damian, Leon could not simply leave simply because Patrick was prejudiced against him."How dare you?!" Patrick was livid and would have killed Leon right there and then had he not been Iris's boyfriend.Naturally, he was not the only one who doubted Leon. Damian and Penny both thought that Leon was out of line for lying and Iris was the only one who believed Leon."Grandpa, can you stop being so
"Don't take it...!" Leon darted forward to stop Damian from taking the pill."That's enough!" Furious, Patrick sent off his true energy, which swarmed Leon."The Emperor State?!" Leon paled and was sent flying before he had the time to respond. He barely managed to anchor himself after backing away and felt his entire body shaking from the attack.Patrick had only meant to warn Leon and did not plan on killing Leon, or Leon would be defenseless to his power. Meanwhile, Damian had already swallowed the Snow Panax Pill."It's over." Leon sighed and shook his head, before giving up. He had tried his best to save Damian's life, but since both Damian and Patrick refused to believe him, there was nothing he could do.Mister Yair proceeded to apply pressure on Damian's compression points and the Snow Panax Pill Damian had taken transformed into a wave of energy that surged through his body. Shortly after, the treatment was completed and Mister Yair withdrew his hands."Dad, how do you f
