"Wh- what on earth is this?" Charlie gaped when he detected Leon's true energy as he did not expect Leon to wield yet another attack toward the end of his initial attack.Before he had the time to react, Leon's Double Attack slammed against his chest.Charlie spewed blood under the impact and was instantly sent flying into the distance; a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he realized that he suffered severe internal injuries."H- How's that possible?!" Charlie landed on the ground and covered his chest in disbelief.He was certain that he would be able to injure Leon with a single blow. However, not only was Leon unscathed, he injured Charlie instead.It was far beyond his comprehension and Charlie simply could not understand how Leon managed such a thing."It's my turn now!" Leon took advantage of the situation and darted toward Charlie, who was laying on the ground."Leon, stop!" Patrick was shocked by the sight.He knew that Leon was far more powerful than Charlie and
"Mister Martell, this is your first and final warning! Iris is my woman. Try pursuing her again and I will have your head!" Leon said coldly.He was not a cruel man and since he had no personal grudge against Charlie, he would have never killed a man over a minor dispute even if Patrick did not stop him.Leon only meant to intimidate Charlie and warn him about the consequence of his actions if he tried to do the same thing again."Yeah, okay," Terrified, Charlie dared not to protest."Alright. Scram!" Leon scoffed and stepped aside.Relieved, Charlie crawled up and ran with the Angel's Fruit and his two bodyguards.Patrick felt conflicted as he watched Charlie run.He was impressed by Charlie and wanted Iris to accept Charlie's proposal. However, Charlie simply turned out to be an arrogant young man who fell short in terms of courage and talent when compared to Leon, so Patrick could not help but feel disappointed.Patrick could not deny that he was impressed by Leon's talent i
"You don't need it? Are you looking down on us, Leon Wolf?!" Patrick was furious.He decided to help Leon out of kindness because Iris asked for it, yet Leon arrogantly refused their assistance and Patrick was livid because he thought that Leon was looking down on the Scammells."Elder Scammell, that's not what I mean. You're mistaken. I've already gotten the Thompsons to help me, so that's enough for now," Leon explained.The Thompsons were extremely powerful and influential in the southern region and their support would be more than sufficient to promote the sales drive. Leon simply did not want the Scammells to waste their time when it was not necessary."The Thompsons? Are you talking about the head of all families, Thompsons?" Patrick froze."Yeah, that's right." Leon nodded."What?! How's that possible?" Patrick was stunned.He knew about the Thompsons and there was no doubt that Leon would not need the Scammells' help if he had the Thompsons' support, but he soon realized
"I wasn't fooled," Leon shook his head and was about to explain when he was interrupted by approaching footsteps.Penny hurried inside with a serious and shocked look on her face. "Grandpa, something big just happened!""What is it?"Patrick, Damian, and the others turned to look at Penny in confusion."I just received news that the Thompsons have announced via all communication channels that Cynthion Group will be selling their alchemical pills in their sales drive three days from now. On behalf of the Thompsons, Angus Thompson has invited all families in the southern region to participate," Penny explained.She knew that Iris asked for Patrick's help to advertise the alchemical pills, yet the Thompsons got ahead of them before the Scammells could act.Confused, she immediately hurried back to inform Patrick about it."What?!"The others were instantly shaken and silence fell over the living room.Sometime later, Iris was the first to snap out of it and gasped. "Leon, so you
"Whatever! Since the Thompsons are already helping, there's no place for us Scammells to get involved!" Patrick sighed gloomily.He thought that Leon needed to rely on the Scammells' help to expand his company and was planning to use this as leverage to make Leon cut ties with Cynthia, Ruth, and Snow to focus on Iris. To his bewilderment, Leon managed to win the favor of the all-mighty Thompsons and did not need the Scammells' help at all.The realization that he overestimated the Scammells' importance and underestimated Leon's ability overwhelmed him with disappointment."Leon, there's never too much advertising. Since Grandpa has agreed to help, let's get the Scammells to help as well!" Iris said."Well, if it's not too troublesome, I'd appreciate it," Leon said."Forget it! The Scammells will stay out of this!" Patrick said coldly.The Thompsons were the head of all powerful families in the southern region and since Angus already extended invitations to all families on behalf
"Okay. I'll try talking to Yuri later," Hope rose within Leon.He already decided to give up on the Angel's Fruit owned by the Martells, but Iris's advice sparked an idea in him. Though he did not possess the power to get the Angel's Fruit from the Martells, it would be an easy task for the Thompsons."No!" Patrick shook his head and rejected Iris's suggestion."No? Why not?" Leon froze."You don't know this, but the Martells are connected to the Southern Boss! The Thompsons had some issues with the Southern Boss in the past and though the Martells don't have the guts to turn the Thompsons down, the Thompsons will pay quite a price for forcing the Martells to sell the Angel's Fruit to them!" Patrick explained."What? The Southern Boss again?" Leon was shocked.Earlier that morning in the black market, he just got into a conflict with a subordinate of the Southern Boss, the Black Gorilla.To his bewilderment, Charlie, who he just injured, shared a connection with the Southern Bos
"What? Do you have a grudge against Leon?" Charlie was slightly confused by Nigel's resentful tone when he talked about Leon."It goes beyond a grudge! He was the one who broke my legs. I'm dying to tear him to shreds!" Nigel said viciously as he pointed at his legs."I see!" Realization dawned on Charlie and since Nigel was also an enemy of Leon, the tension in Charlie's expression eased."Mister Scammell, Leon's far too young to be in the Peak Overlord State. Who on earth is he?" Charlie asked.After the duel and what Patrick said to him, Charlie was misled to think that Leon was in the Peak Overlord State.Among the younger generation of martial artists in Sky County, only the direct descendent of the most powerful family would be able to reach such a high power level.Though he never heard of any family with the name of Wolf, nor if he ever heard about Leon in the past, there were a total of five regions in Sky County and he did not know much about the other regions except fo
"By the way, why are you here, Mister Martell? Why would you be in a fight with Leon, to begin with?" Nigel asked."Well, Miss Young came to the Martells to ask for a medical herb and I fell for her at first sight," Charlie briefly mentioned how he came to offer a marriage proposal."I see! So, you are interested in Iris!" Nigel exclaimed and an idea began to form in his mind."Mister Martell, to tell you the truth, my cousin Iris loves Leon deeply to the point that she'll never give up on him! If you want to take her from Leon, I'm afraid it's not possible, unless," Nigel paused purposefully."Unless what?" Charlie asked."Unless you get rid of Loen, once and for all! Kill Leon in secret and take the opportunity to console Iris. That way, you will surely win her heart!" Nigel chuckled."That's a great idea!" Charlie's eyes lit up.He resented Leon for injuring him and it would be ideal if he could eliminate Leon in secret and win Iris's heart at the same time."Thank you for t
