"I understand my mistake now, Leon, and I truly apologize for what I've done. Please forgive me, and show me mercy—just this once," Willie pleaded, no longer caring about how this would reflect on his status as master of the Libertons anymore. "What were you doing all this while, if you only managed to realize your mistake now? people like you don't deserve mercy! You'd better think about your sins and ask God for forgiveness instead!" Leon snarled, then, without a moment's hesitation, he raised his arm, intending to rid Willie of his powers right then and there. "Stop!" all of a sudden, someone yelled. Then, within a few seconds, a few men dashed toward them from afar. The two middle-aged men at the lead were none other than Wade Liberton, Willie's father, and Ted Jones, Tony's father. They were followed closely behind by a few of the Libertons' master martial artists, all of them emanating auras of power that shunned any who laid eyes on them. Although Tony was the gener
"How dare you, you punk? I'll give you one chance to let go of my son—if you do so, I might consider showing you mercy, but if you don't, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Wade snarled. The fact that Leon was with the Scammells and that he was the culprit who broke Willie's legs the day before made him want to tear Leon apart right that instant.However, considering Leon still had Willie within his grasp, Wade did not dare to act rashly lest he upset Leon and cause Willie harm. "Do you mean it?" Leon could not help wavering at this. The truth was, he had plenty of secret weapons with him, and coupled with his powers, it would not be difficult to defeat Wade and the others at all!However, he was not alone—he had the four girls with him, and he had to be cautious especially after Willie attacked Ruth and Iris!If he released Willie and both sides agreed to let this go, the outcome would be better than getting into another fight!If he did not relent and insisted on holding Wi
"Iris, leave!" Leon cried out, shooting the four girls a meaningful glance. "Okay," They immediately understood. They knew that neither of them would be of any help to Leon at all, on the contrary, their presence was even more of a burden to Leon because he needed to constantly keep an eye on them, so they quickly got up and retreated. To ensure their safety, Leon followed them, dragging Willie along as his hostage, and escorted them to the entrance. Wade, Ted, and the rest followed suit. Leon's car was parked at the roadside, and he gestured for the four girls to get in. "Please be careful, Leon," They said, worried about Leon's safety. "Don't worry. You all know better than anyone the extent of my powers!" Leon reassured them. "Yes, you're right," The four of them were reminded of just how powerful Leon was, and after getting that reassurance, they turned and got into the car. "Your friends are safe now, punk! You can let go of my son now!" Wade said impatiently, a gl
"Rats!" Leon staggered backward in an attempt to dodge Wade's attack, but unfortunately, his power level was too far off from Wade's, and although he managed to dodge just in time, he still could not fully get out of the full range of Wade's attack. Wade's attack scraped him in his chest, and the color immediately drained from Leon's face as he staggered backward. His throat tightened as he spat out a mouthful of bright, red blood. Thankfully, Wade's attack only brushed him, and with the Mirror of Sovereign as his shield, Leon suffered only minor injuries, nothing serious. "Huh? I can't believe you're fine after all that, you punk! You sure got lucky!" Wade gasped in surprise. Leon looked to be in his mid-twenties, and he could roughly guess that Leon was only at the Peak Supreme State or perhaps the Semi Overlord State at most, whereas he already attained the Peak Overlord State—he was one of the best martial artists among the second generation of the major families. With su
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you, punk! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you fulfill it!" Wade was outraged when he sensed Leon's disdain. Without another word, he unleashed a surge of immense power barrelling Leon's way. As long as he could incapacitate Leon right then and there, he would be able to claim the treasure as his own and save himself the trouble of having to deal with Leon any longer! "Perfect!" Leon scoffed at this. This time, he did not dodge anymore, and instead took a step forward, raising his fist to meet Wade's attack head-on! "Die, you punk!" a glimmer of malice flashed through Wade's eyes. Although he knew that Leon had a piece of ancient treasure shielding him, he, like his son, thought that it was only capable of shielding attacks from the Intermediate Overlord State or lower! After all, just the last tendrils of his previous attack managed to strike Leon so hard that he vomited blood! It was stupid of Leon to meet his attacks head-on; if any of
"How can this be?" Willie and Tony were utterly stunned by this. They rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they saw! They witnessed Wade injuring Leon as easily as ABC just now, and thus thought that it would be simple for Wade to defeat Leon! It was beyond any of their wildest dreams to see Leon get away unscathed after receiving Wade's attack head-on, much less turn the entire situation around and almost cripple Wade! One could only imagine their shock! "What are you four doing there, zoning out? Come help!" Ted, being the first to break out of his stupor, turned and yelled at the four martial artists behind him. Although he was just a distant cousin of the Libertons and thus did not possess the Libertons' martial arts training that could rescue Wade, he could still place hope in the four martial artists to save him! "Yes, sir—" the four martial artists sprang into action, with two of them sprinting straight toward Leon and the other two running to help Wade. At thi
"Yes, sir!" Ted and the rest understood this, and immediately grabbed hold of Wade, Willie, and Tommy before running as fast as their legs would take them!"Rats!" seeing that Wade was getting away, Leon wanted to go after him, but unfortunately, he was being tied up by the two martial artists that were on his trail. After all, he was only at the Intermediate Overlord State, whereas the two martial artists before him were already Advanced Overlords and certainly not easy opponents to defeat.Although Leon had the Mirror of Sovereign with him and could easily keep them at bay, it was another thing entirely if he wanted to defeat them!However, there was still one way—he still had his most powerful weapon with him, which was the Potential Energy Forces that Master Haslewood gifted him!This was his most powerful secret weapon, but now, he only had two forces remaining, which made each of them all the more valuable, and he was not willing to waste them on defeating cheap crooks like
"What should we do now, Leon?" Cynthia asked. She and Leon came all the way here to buy out Medicare Pharmaceuticals, but now, after having gotten into a conflict with the Jones, it was safe to say this business would not work out anymore. "Never mind, let's go home first! We can start searching again in a few days and find out if other pharmaceutical companies suit us," Leon said after some contemplation. Now that he took the Dragon Pill, he would enter a weak state for the next two days, and the affairs regarding the pharmaceutical company would have to wait. "Alright then." Cynthia nodded. "Oh, where's Otis, by the way?" Leon remembered. "Oh, he's over there!" Iris pointed in the direction of the office. Otis and the rest of the company's higher management remained at their workstations out of fear that they would get involved if they followed Leon. However, they all watched from within the building, and thus witnessed the true extent of Leon's powers. All of them w
