Serena's eyes lit up when she saw what happened, seemingly understanding something. "Leon, I have a few things I want to ask you, I wonder if you'd be fine to answer them," Serene asked."What is it?""I'll answer any questions you have," Leon smiled and said."You're not that young anymore. Do you have a girlfriend right now?" Serena said in a meaningful manner.The moment she heard her mother say that, Lily immediately guessed Serena's intentions. She blushed intensely, and looked down to avoid her mother's gaze, not daring to look at Leon either."No…" Leon shook his head, not elaborating.Even though he did not have a girlfriend, he just got a divorce not that long ago.However, divorce was nothing to be proud of. Since Serena did not ask about it, he did not say anything."I can't believe you don't have a girlfriend when you're so excellent. You have a good character too!" Serena was a little surprised, but her smile deepened.She took a few more looks at Leon, and was
From outside, a pretty young girl who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven of age walked in with two young men."Rizzy, Richard, why are you here?" Lily was surprised. The young girl in front of her was her uncle's daughter. It was her cousin, Rizzy Plummer.One of the young men behind Rizzy was her cousin-in-law, Richard Lewis.Lily's father left them at a young age, and her mother brought the two of them up by herself.During that time, her uncle and some relatives helped their family a lot. Rizzy was included among them.The two of them grew up together, and they had an incredibly good relationship.When her mother was sent to the hospital, they borrowed a lot of money from Rizzy to pay for it.Whether it was her uncle or Rizzy, both of them did everything they could to help Lily's family, so Lily's family was incredibly grateful."Lily, I heard that Aunt Serena's already out of the hospital. It's the weekend today, so Richard and I weren't working. We came here to visi
Lily's appearance was incredibly beautiful, and she even took the time to dress up nicely that day. She looked incredibly elegant and fresh. Lily was much prettier than Duncan thought. He felt like he never saw such a pure and beautiful woman before.The moment he saw Lily, he was shocked. He felt like Lily was perfect."Mr. Leonard, you're praising me too much…" Lily smiled politely, feeling a little awkward.She just graduated from university not too long ago, so she felt like she was still very young, and did not need to be looking for marriage just yet.However, Rizzy still did it out of the kindness of her heart. If it were any ordinary time, she would have gone through with it just for Rizzy's sake.However, the situation was a little unusual that day. They invited Leon over to thank Leon for helping them.Rizzy suddenly wanted to introduce her to a man. Surely she could not do that in front of Leon?Furthermore, she was already starting to fancy Leon a little, so she did
Since Rizzy already saw through it, Serena admitted it willingly. That way, Rizzy would stop trying to set Lily up with others, and it would save them some trouble."How could you do that?!" "Aunt Serena, Leon's famous for being useless, and he's a divorcee. How could he be worthy of Lily?!" “Were you fooled by him?!" Rizzy's jaws almost dropped on the floor in disbelief. "What? Useless? A divorcee?" "Rizzy, could you be mistaken?!" Serena looked at Rizzy in shock and disbelief, not understanding what Rizzy was saying."I'm not mistaken at all!""Aunt Serena, you might not know this, but he used to be married into the Mansons. He was cheated on by Marilyn not too long ago, and was kicked out of the household without anything to his name…" Rizzy briefly recounted everything.She still worked with the Mansons, and she knew a bit about Leon's divorce from Marilyn. She knew that Leon was kicked out by Marilyn!Marilyn even had someone else's child. Someone as useless as Leon w
"Enough! You don't have to pretend!""We're both men here, don't think I don't know what you were thinking!""I'm telling you, trash like you should know your place. Stop thinking about dating above your station!""You're not worthy!" Duncan snorted.Lily was so pretty and pure. Any man would be moved by her looks. He refused to believe Leon did not look at Lily that way.He tried to figure out a way to completely kick Leon out of the running!"You're right, Lily's too good for me, but you're not even comparable to her!" Leon had a dark look on his face, having been angered by Duncan's arrogance."Brat, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?!" "Are you sick of living?!" Duncan shouted out angrily as he looked at Leon hatefully.If he was not trying to leave a good impression on Lily, he would have rushed forward to teach Leon a lesson right then!"Leon, shut up right now!""What right would a piece of trash like you have to even argue with Mister Leonard?
There was a mocking laugh as Bowden walked over with seven or eight muscular, fierce-looking young men. The frontman looked to be about thirty years of age. He had a lot of tattoos on his arms and neck, and he seemed incredibly fierce. He did not look like someone to be trifled with at all.He was Walter Grim, Bowden's cousin."Bowden, what are you doing here?!" Lily's expression changed.Both Jared and Serena's looks darkened as well.Even Rizzy and Richard were shocked at being surrounded by so many fierce-looking people."What do you think?!""Of course, I'm here for revenge on Leon? What else could I be doing?!" Bowden laughed coldly."Bowden, we've been neighbors for so many years. W-what are you trying to do?" Serena said with a sour look on her face."Aunt Serena, since you're an elder, I'll be frank with you!" "This time, Leon might have been the main culprit behind me being fired from the hospital, but your family helped him too. I won't let any of you off easily."
Walter nodded as his expression turned a bit serious."Since you've heard of my father, get lost quickly!" Duncan coldly snorted as he held his head up high."Walter, this…" Bowden started to panic, not knowing what to do.He planned things out perfectly, but he never expected someone like Duncan to appear. Walter's father seemed capable, so he could not offend the man.However, he refused to leave empty-handedly!"Mister Leonard's still the best. He's much better than some useless piece of trash!" Seeing what was happening, Rizzy was elated. She gave Duncan a thumbs up before looking at Leon with even more disdain."That's right, it's all thanks to Mister Leonard…" Serena and Lily both shot looks of appreciation at Duncan.Walter's men did not seem like people they could handle at all, so they placed all their hopes on Duncan.Being praised by everyone like that, Duncan could not help but look over at Leon.After what happened earlier, he already looked at Leon as his love ri
"However, if you have the guts to try and do anything again, I guarantee you that I'll cripple you!" Walter looked at Duncan coldly. There was even a murderous glint in his eyes!His expression looked like a poisonous snake that was about to strike. Duncan could not help but shiver as a child went through his heart.He knew that he was facing someone from the underworld. They could do anything, so he was not just scaring him."Good, very good. I'll remember that slap. Just wait and see!" Duncan was terrified. After those harsh words, he hurriedly scrambled to the side, not daring to face the other party head-on.Everything happened far too quickly. Serena, Lily, and the others felt like a bucket of cold water was just poured over them. They quickly sank into depression. The sliver of hope they had earlier was extinguished."Mister Leonard, don't go. You can't just leave my aunt and my cousins like that…" Rizzy grabbed Duncan's arm anxiously."I know, I won't just leave them…" Dun
"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
