"Leon, don't worry! The Scammells are an ancient martial arts family. They have to have some influence in the southern region! Why don't the two of us go over and talk to my grandfather later? If we manage to get his help to promote Cynthion Group, wouldn't everything be solved?" Iris consoled."Let's forget about that for now! He's still angry. Even if we go ask him for help, he probably won't agree! Let's not look for trouble.." Leon said awkwardly.Due to Cynthia's matter, Patrick's impression of him was already incredibly bad.Leon was already thankful that Patrick did not force Damian to stop working with him. He held out no hope that Patrick would help him with the marketing!There was practically no chance it would happen!"That-" Iris was speechless.She knew what Leon said was right. If she went to ask Patrick for help with Leon, even if Patrick agreed, he would probably take the chance to ask her to break up with Leon!It was not something she wanted to happen!"Leon,
After that, Leon pushed down the happiness in his heart as he answered Raphael's call."Hello, Mister Westwood. Do you need me for something?" Leon asked."Mister Wolf, it's like this. I have something I need your help with," Raphael's voice was heard on the other end."Oh? Is that so? That's a coincidence then! I happen to have something I need your help with as well," Leon was happy to hear that.Even though Raphael asked to be friends before, the two of them were still not that close.He was still worried that Raphael might not agree if he asked for Raphael's help in spreading the word about the pills.However, since Raphael had something he needed from Leon as well, then it would be much easier!"Mister Wolf, what do you need my help with?" Raphael asked curiously."It's a long story."Leon thought about it and said, "Mister Westwood, where are you right now? I'll go see you. We can talk once we meet.""Yes, that's a good idea! I'll wait for you at the jade store!" Raphae
"He's still angry even after a few days, so it does seem unlikely that he'll agree. However, it'll be easier to deal with things in person. Why don't you come over right now and talk to him face-to-face? I'll help you put a few good words in as well. He might agree after that," Damian consoled. "No, even if I go see him, he'll probably just lecture me like last time. I think I should just not go over and make him angry," Iris said without any hesitation.Before that, Damian called her to ask her over to visit two times before. She already guessed that Patrick, Damian, and the others probably wanted to talk her into breaking up with Leon!It was because of that, that she used the excuse of helping Leon to reject them."Iris, I know you don't want to leave Leon, but Leon is crossing the line a little by wanting to be with so many women at once. Father is just objecting to it for your sake. He doesn't want you to suffer. I think you have to properly talk to him. You can't just keep a
In the jade store, Leon met Raphael in a VIP room toward the back."It's been a while, Mister Wolf!" Raphael greeted Leon with a smile.After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the two of them sat down."Mister Westwood, what do you need my help with?" Leon asked right away."It's quite simple, why don't we talk about your deal first?" Raphael offered."Oh, alright then. I established a medical company a few days before, and we're planning on selling some pills. I just wanted to ask you and your family to help us spread the word," Leon said simply, telling Raphael about the planned sales drive in three days."Marketing some pills? Alright, that's not a problem. Leave this to me!" Raphael said quickly.He thought that Leon was just selling some common pills, so he did not think too much about it."Actually," Leon opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped after that.He wanted to tell Raphael about the effects of the Pure Energy Pilsl and the Energy Nurturing Pills before dis
"So that's it! I can't believe there's something even more valuable than the imperial greens."Leon realized something after listening to Raphael's explanation."Wait, that's weird! Mister Wolf, have you never heard of the Dragon Jades or the Mystical Dragon Jade before?"Raphael was surprised. He suddenly had an uneasy feeling in his heart."Yes, this is my first time hearing about it," Leon nodded."That-" Raphael was dumbfounded.He thought that Leon was some Jade expert who experienced a lot. So, he felt Leon would be very skilled in the identification of Jades!Yet, he never expected that Leon would not have even heard of the Mystical Dragon Jades before, and was completely in the dark when it came to Dragon Jades. Leon did not even seem to have ever heard about it!How could Leon verify the jade that way?Suddenly, he felt himself sweating in worry.Leon could see Raphael's concern. After some hesitation, he said, "Mister Westwood, don't worry. I'll do my best to help
After entering the tower, Raphael seemed very familiar with the place as he led Leon to the basement."Mister Westwood, what kind of place is the black market? Does it belong to anyone from the underworld?" Leon asked curiously.When he was in Springfield City, he never visited the black market before. However, he was quite close to the Southern King, and he heard about the black market from Vincent. So, he knew that the black market would usually involve some major power in the underworld."Yes, this is the Black Gorilla's territory. He's a subordinate of the Southern Boss," Raphael nodded and said."Who's the Southern Boss?" Leon was surprised."The Southern Boss is one of the four Bosses of the underworld. His forces are at the level of a major family," Raphael briefly explained everything.Sky County was split into five regions, which were the Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Central regions.Other than the Central region, which had a more unique circumstance, the o
"Seth Golan, I'm warning you. You better watch your mouth. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Raphael suddenly looked quite angry."You? What a joke! Raphael, if you didn't have the Thompsons shielding you, I'd already have had you crippled. What gives you the right to act so arrogantly in front of me?!" Seth sniffed as he looked at Raphael in disdain."You-"Raphael was furious, but there was nothing he could do. After that, he composed himself as he pulled Leon to the left.After the two of them sat down, Leon could not help but ask curiously, "Mister Westwood, who's that guy? He seemed quite arrogant.""He's Seth Golan. He's the heir of one of the ancient martial arts families in the Southern region! The Golans are somewhat involved with the jade trade, so they're our competitors. There's been quite a bit of conflict between our two families," Raphael explained briefly."Oh, so that's it!" Leon realized something, but he was still somewhat confused.Since both their f
"So what if he is?!" Raphael said coldly."Raphael, I can tell that you're getting more and more useless! You found a brat as your expert. What a joke! Just open your eyes and look. This man I got to help me is a true expert!" Seth mocked. After that, he pointed at an old man in gray clothes next to him with a pleased expression."Mister Gray,"Raphael was shocked after he looked over.Oscar Gray was an incredibly notable expert in the jade industry within the Southern region. In terms of ability, he was absolutely at the pinnacle of the industry. No one could claim to be his equal.Yet, Seth managed to get Oscar's help. It was no wonder Seth was acting so arrogantly!"Seth and Raphael are both in charge of the jade business for their families. The two of them have never gotten along.""Now, a rare Dragon Jade appeared. Oscar managed to get Mister Gray's help, not holding back from the expenses. Yet, Raphael got a nameless brat as his expert. It's just too idiotic.""That's rig
"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
