"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have discovered that you're raising some uncultured man at home!" the middle-aged man reprimanded coldly.

"Who are you calling uncultured?! Why do you have to say something so hurtful? Leon's my friend. Nothing is going on between us!"

Iris showed her displeasure.

"Are you honestly telling us there's nothing between you two when you touched him like that? Who are you fooling? Can't you have a little dignity during the day, Iris? You might as well just get it on in the yard!" the gorgeous woman smiled sarcastically.

"It's none of your business! I can do whatever I want, and you have no right to order me around!"

Iris glared at her, and the animosity between them was already starting to intensify.

"Gilbert, look at her! She's being cheeky, and rude!"

The gorgeous woman shook the arm of the middle-aged man with a pretentiously pouty expression.

"What's gotten into you, Iris? Whether you like it or not, Daisy is still your mother. How can you talk to her with that kind of attitude!" Gilbert scolded.

"She's not my mother! My mother died twenty years ago! She's just a little wench who slept her way to being your wife. What gives her the right to be my mother!" Iris sneered.

"Did you hear that, Gilbert? She called me a wench!" the delicate Daisy said with a sob.

"You're being disrespectful! And rebellious!"

Gilbert was furious and he raised his palm intending to slap Iris.

"Go ahead! No one in the family cares about me since Mom died. Grandpa's the only one who gives a damn! Why don't you just kill me and be done with it!"

Iris had a stubborn expression and refused to give in.

"How dare you..."

Gilbert trembled with anger. He focused all his attention on Daisy and her son over the years, and he retracted his hand when he thought of how he did not do enough for his daughter.

"It's about time that you consider marriage, Iris, and I have no objections if you have a boyfriend! However, given the background of our family, you should at least get a boyfriend that is worthy of your status!"

Gilbert quelled his anger, pointed at Leon, and said contemptuously, "Take a good look at this man. His clothing is just about as tattered as a beggar's! Is he the kind of man that is fit to be your boyfriend?"

"I've already told you that Leon is my friend, not my boyfriend! And he's not a beggar either!"

Iris was incredibly unhappy.

"You're both practically living together. What else could he be if he isn't your boyfriend? Do you take me and your father for fools?"

Daisy sneered with a contemptuous expression. "You've maintained quite the facade of purity all these years. There are rumors that you're still a virgin, so you can understand how surprised I am that your private life is such a mess! Just how low have you fallen to be in a relationship with someone as miserable-looking as him!"

That remark angered Iris and she began spouting out all sorts of nonsense.

"You... Fine, I admit. Leon's my boyfriend, and I'm in love with him! There! Happy now?"

Iris fumed after being ridiculed by Daisy, so she decided to grab Leon's arm and act all lovey-dovey with him.

Leon was dumbfounded. He stared wide-eyed at Iris and felt overwhelmed by what happened.

"Oh? Are you finally admitting it now?" Daisy sneered.

Gilbert's face turned ashen before reddening in anger. He took out the check, wrote down a random number, and threw it directly to Leon's face. "I don't care who you are or where you came from, Kid, but I won't let Iris be associated with you! Here's seven hundred thousand. Take the money and leave my daughter immediately! And if you dare to pester her again in the future, I can guarantee that you'll die without anyone ever knowing!"

Leon gulped and watched eagerly as the check fell to the ground.

Seven hundred thousand was an astronomical sum for a person who did not have any money!

    However, Leon was aware that he could not take the money because it was not his."It's always money with you. Do you think having money makes you so great? I already told you that I like Leon. I won't marry anyone else except for him! There's no way I'll let you separate us, not even over my dead body!" Iris retorted.Growing up, she never received any fatherly love ever since her mother passed away. Whenever she needed him most, her father would merely placate her by giving her money. It long reached a point where she was fed up with him!"Alright, suit yourself! I'm going to find your grandpa now!"Gilbert's face was ashen with anger and he turned around to leave.Over the years, the estrangement between father and daughter worsened, and their relationship has deteriorated as the years went by.With his daughter all grown up and having both her own company and career, he could not control her even if he wanted to.The only person in the family who can influence his daughter to

    Aside from Elder Young, Gilbert and Daisy also sat beside him in the hall.Gilbert continued to give Leon a cold glare, as the incident in the villa had left a very negative impression on him.In contrast, Elder Young was friendly and even instructed his servants to pour tea and water for Leon, showing no sign of contempt or disdain."Let me introduce you to Leon, Grandpa. He's the one who saved me last night..." Iris recounted the entire story."Thank you very much for saving my granddaughter's life, Leon. We will always remember your kindness! It's our belief that a person's grace, no matter how small, should always be repaid in kind. Now, tell me, is there anything you would like? Our family will do our best to fulfill your wishes," Elder Young said with a cordial smile."Thank you, but I don't want anything," Leon replied, shaking his head.Leon had rescued Iris out of a genuine sense of justice and had never expected anything in return. Moreover, Iris had already helped rest

    In terms of identity, background, or family business, Graham was far inferior to such a renowned family as the Youngs. When it came to reputation and status, however, he was at least on par with Elder Young.After all, anyone who fell ill would acknowledge him as the premier doctor in Springfield City. Many rich and powerful individuals have sought him out to treat them."I hope you'll excuse me for interrupting you all of a sudden, Elder Young. I wanted to reassess your condition..."Graham cupped his hands and smiled.Elder Young suffered a sudden illness half a month ago, where his chest felt tight and he had difficulty breathing.Graham was the one who cured Elder Young's disease back then.At that time, the two of them agreed that another review would be held in half a month, and if there no issues appeared in that later review, then the condition could be deemed completely cured."Thank you for taking the trouble, Graham.""You're more than welcome, Elder Young. This is a

    "It's a fatal point of the human body!" Graham frowned, feeling like this person must have just read some half-baked medical books and wanted to get some credit. The person probably did not know that it was something fatal."Brat, what are you saying? The Middle Chest Point and the Soul Palace point can both be fatal. How could you just use them like that? Do you even know your anatomy?!" Graham's assistant berated Leon."I guess you just came here after learning some half-baked medical skills to show off? Let me tell you, people like you are what's causing alternative healers to get such a bad reputation in the country!" Even Leon's morals were attacked at that point.Leon wanted to say something else, but he was quickly interrupted by Iris."Leon, my grandfather's life is in danger right now. Graham is trying to save him, so please don't cause any trouble!" Iris said unhappily.Even though Leon saved Iris' life, it did not mean Leon could do whatever he pleased when he was with

    "What a joke! Even Graham, the Holy Doctor, couldn't cure Elder Young's illness. Who do you think you are? What can you possibly do? Do you think your skills are better than Graham's?!" Graham's assistant mocked."You're just completely delusional!"Graham frowned as he measured Leon before saying, "Are you a doctor as well?""I'm not a doctor…" Leon shook his head."You're not even a doctor. How dare you speak so much nonsense?! Even if you're a doctor, there's no way you'd be good enough to cure anyone at your age. You're just trying to stand out and get attention. What a clown!" Gilbert was furious as he viciously glared at Leon.Sure enough, Leon was mocked again."That's not completely certain! The moment Leon met grandfather, he said that grandfather's life was in danger! Also, he mentioned that Graham hit the wrong points when Graham treated grandfather just now. It's just that none of us believed in him! Yet, it's clear that he was right!" Iris remembered what happened ea

    After the treatment, Leon was completely pale. Sweat beads formed on his head as he sat on the floor. He almost fainted from his exhaustion.He was still not a true doctor. He could not use his internal power with his treatment. He barely managed to perform the treatment by relying on that unknown energy in his body."Cough!" At that moment, Elder Young suddenly responded. He abruptly opened his eyes and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He quickly stained his clothes and the floor red.Right after that, Elder Young shut his eyes, not moving at all. Even his breathing stopped. It was like he died!"Grandfather…""Dad…" Iris and Gilbert both exclaimed at the same time. They let out a cry of agony as they ran over to Elder Young."I knew this guy was just trying to stand out and show off. I didn't know he would end up causing all this trouble. He ended up costing Elder Young his life. The world is getting worse because of people like you!" The assistant shook his head. He knew t

    "What exactly happened?" Elder Young was in a daze. He just woke up from his state of unconsciousness, so he had no idea what happened."This is what happened…" Iris walked over and told Elder Young everything.Elder Young was shocked. He sent a slap right at Gilbert, berating him, "You idiot, what did you do?! Leon tried to save me out of the kindness of his heart. It doesn't matter if he managed to cure me or not, he still tried his best. How could you repay his kindness like that?! Hurry up and apologize to him!"Gilbert did not like Leon after everything that happened, but with his father's threats, he reluctantly walked over and said, "Leon, I was wrong for doing what I did just now. I'm sorry…""Mister Young, you're being too polite. It was just a small misunderstanding. Everything is fine," Leon said in a hurry.At that moment, Graham walked over as well. Graham gave Leon a bow, "Young man, I'm sorry for being impolite just now! Your medical skills are amazing. They are pra

    "That's right," Leon nodded earnestly.Leon was not very educated, and his abilities when it came to working were quite average as well. It would not be easy for him to find a good job quickly.If Elder Young could get him a stable job, it would be a lot of help for him."Leon, forgive me for being straightforward, but with your amazing medical skills, surely it wouldn't be hard for you to become a famous doctor like Graham? Why would you want a regular job?!" Elder Young said curiously.With the skills that Leon showed earlier, many rich and powerful people would be willing to deal with Leon.Whether it was money, power, or fame, Leon would be able to get it easily.Why would he need a job?"That…"Elder Young, I won't lie. I never learned any medical skills before, nor do I have any qualifications as a doctor."The pressure point technique I used to treat you just now was just something I inherited from my ancestors. I merely learned a little of it. The fact that I managed t

    "Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor

    "Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body

    "Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf

    "Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m

    Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre

    "You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa

    Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie

    "Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific

    "How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
