"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
"Thank you, Mister Wolf, for your kind offer," Otis immediately bowed at Leon in gratitude, his initial dismay at the thought of potentially losing his job dissipating. "You don't have to thank me, Otis; it's what I should do. Don't worry, I promise I'll stick to my word." Leon grinned. He could easily guess the fact that Otis managed to earn the position of manager at Medicare Pharmaceuticals showed the extent of his capabilities, and he was confident that Otis would be able to hold down any position he offered him! Not only that, but if Otis proved himself to be a great leader, Leon might even consider offering him the position of vice president! After settling these issues, Leon finally bade Otis goodbye and returned home with Iris and the other girls. After watching them leave, Otis returned to the office and headed straight to the human resources department to hand in his notice, to get away before Tommy could find him! Leon spent the next few days resting at home, wit
After some time, Leon and Iris arrived at the mansion. As soon as they appeared, Iris's beauty immediately attracted the attention of all the guests, and the people crowded around the entrance gazed in awe at her striking beauty! Apart from staring at Iris in amazement, some of the younger guests even shot Leon glances of jealousy and envy, trying to figure out how someone like Leon managed to land a gorgeous woman like Iris! At this moment, Damian and Julie, who stood a short distance away, caught sight of them and came over to say hi, with Julie wheeling Damian along in his wheelchair. "Hello, Uncle Damian, Aunt Julie," Iris greeted as she approached them, her arm entwined around Leon's. "Where have you been, Iris, Leon? Why didn't you come around to visit us over the last few days?" Damian asked questioningly. Neither of them saw Leon or Iris ever since they left the mansion a few days ago, and if he did not call Iris to ask how they were doing, he and Julie would still
"I have a suggestion, Damian. Since the pharmaceutical companies are only one of our side businesses and don't play a major role in our profit, why don't you talk about this to Elder Scammell? Maybe we might be able to offer one of our pharmaceutical companies to Leon at a low price, considering how much he seems to need one!" Julie piped up. Leon saved her husband's life just a few days ago, and she was filled with gratitude toward him ever since. This was the perfect way to repay her gratitude toward him! "This is a great idea!" Damian immediately understood what Julie was trying to do. He was so grateful to Leon for what he did that he was willing to gift the companies to Leon free of charge! Unfortunately, he was not the one calling the shots for these and had to discuss this with his father beforehand. "Can the Scammells sell me one of your pharmaceutical companies?" Leon was overjoyed to hear this. Although it was not a difficult feat, it was challenging for him to find
A gigantic stage was set up in the center of the courtyard, flanked by red curtains. A banner with the number 80 on it was draped across the stage with golden streamers and flowers. A red carpet ran down the center toward the stage flanked by rows of beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements that made the entire set-up look even more luxurious. Rows and rows of teakwood chairs were arranged in front of the stage, covered by red drapes with golden embroidery of the number 80 across their backs. The entire place was glamorous and even more elegant than ever! By the time Leon and the rest arrived, the entire place was already packed with guests. Not only after they arrived, but Patrick also emerged from backstage, grinning from ear to ear as he was accompanied onstage by Amy and the rest of the elders. The host got onstage and declared, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the eightieth birthday party of Mister Patrick Scammell here. Let us give a round of applause to the birthd
