"Black Gorilla, I sent you to Cynthion Group to look into the Energy Nurturing Pills, how did it go?" The Southern Boss asked."Sir, I've already looked into it. The effects of the Energy Nurturing Pills are real. It's not a fabrication by the Scammells and the Thompsons," The Black Gorilla did not dare to hide anything. After that, he told the Southern Boss everything that happened at the sales drive, including Yuri breaking through with the help of the pills.Hearing that, the father and son pair was shocked. They never expected those pills to be so effective!Rodney in particular looked at the Black Gorilla with a sharp gaze, saying, "You said that Yuri is already at the intermediate Emperor State? Is that true?""Yes, it's true! I witnessed it myself, " The Black Gorilla said respectfully."Despicable! How did Yuri get so lucky? He managed to get to the intermediate Emperor State so easily!" Rodney's expression soured.Just like Yuri, he got to the initial Emperor State a lon
"Father, Yuri is just despicable. He's using the Thompson name to constantly show off in front of us! We have to make sure to teach him a lesson, or everyone will think we're afraid of the Thompsons!" Rodney said angrily."Yes, I know. I'll let him know very quickly how stupid his decision to go against us was!" The Southern Boss said coldly. There was a murderous glint in his eyes.No matter what, the Black Gorilla was a subordinate of his, but Yuri attacked the Black Gorilla in public over and over again. It was a huge slap to his face!If he just accepted it, then there was no way the Spears would be able to show their face in the Southern Region anymore!At that moment, footsteps were suddenly heard. Someone suddenly walked into the main hall."Sir, Charlie of the Martells is here for an audience," The man said."What's Charlie doing here?" Rodney asked.The Martells were a distant relative of the Spears. Even though their blood relations were very thin, they still had a dec
"You are too kind."Charlie was incredibly happy to earn the praise of the Southern Boss. He felt like him deciding to bring the pills over was a brilliant choice."Rodney, go try out one of them. See how effective they are!" The Southern Boss passed one over to Rodney.The Energy Nurturing Pills were only effective for martial artists who were at or below the peak Emperor State. He exceeded that level. The Energy Nurturing Pills were useless for him, so he had to give them to Rodney to try.Gulp!Rodney took one of the pills before he sat on the ground, starting to refine the pure energy from the Energy Nurturing Pill.After a long time, he stood up. There was a glint in his eyes."Rodney, how do you feel?" The Southern Boss asked."Father, these pills are amazing. My training was at least three or four times faster than my usual speed! With enough Energy Nurturing Pills, it probably won't take me too long to reach the intermediate Emperor State," Rodney said with a serious lo
"Then what do we do? Cynthion Group is already related to the Thompsons right now. They will just get closer and closer! If we don't do anything, then the Thompsons' influence will only grow bigger with the help of Cynthion Group once they grow! Then, they'll trample all over our family. It will be hard for us to make a comeback!" Rodney said reluctantly."We have to make a long-term plan for this!" The Southern Boss said seriously. He had a dark look on his face.He knew that Rodney's concerns were not without merit. The Spears were always slightly weaker in power and influence than the Thompsons in the first place. With the Thompsons gaining the support of the Cynthion Group, it would only serve to make things harder!That was not something he wanted to see happen!"Sir, I have an idea!" Charlie suddenly spoke up at that moment."Oh? What's your idea? Tell us!" Rodney and the Southern Boss looked over at Charlie."It's like this. Cynthion Group is under the Scammells. As long a
"Good idea! Proceed with that!" Both Rodney and the Southern Boss' eyes lit up at Charlie's plan.Iris was just a distant relative of the Scammells, neither of them regarded Iris as anything important.However, both of them felt that Charlie's idea of using the conflict between the first and second lines of direct descendants was possible! "Charlie, we'll leave this to you! If you need anything, make sure to ask. I'll definitely support you fully!" The Southern Boss said.Since the branch of Cynthion Group and the Scammells had the support of the Thompsons, he had some reservations and felt like he could not deal with the Scammells directly. So, he was forced to leave it to Charlie to deal with!"Sir, I happen to have a request! Iris has a boyfriend called Leon. I wish to ask you to send some men to help me get rid of him," Charlie took the chance to say.When he was with the Scammells the last time, he already decided to silently get rid of Leon after being influenced by Nige
"Yes, understood."The Black Gorilla finally dared to stand up after that order. He could not help but feel like he got a new lease on life!Of course, since he did not know who Leon was when he had his conflict with Leon at the black market, he did not know that the Leon Charlie wanted to get rid of was actually the man who got the Spiritual Pearl!If he knew about that and reported it to the Southern Boss, it would have caused Leon endless trouble!It had to be said that Leon deliberately hiding behind the scenes and not exposing his identity helped him escape disaster!After that, Charlie and the Black Gorilla both excused themselves before they left.Very quickly, only the Southern Boss and Rodney were left in the main hall."Father, since the matter with Cynthion Group and the Scammells is already settled, do you have any plans to deal with the Thompsons and Yuri?" Rodney could not help but ask."I do have a plan. I plan on having Asmodeus give the Thompsons a huge gift!"
During the morning, Leon, Iris, and the others had their breakfast before they started to talk about Elegante."Leon, now that Cynthion Group's situation is already stabilized, when are you planning on starting a branch for Elegante?" Iris could not help but ask.Since the pills from Cynthion Group were just too important, all of them put their focus on Cynthion Group's branch for the past few days.With Cynthion Group's branch finally officially launched, Leon finally had time!As the president of Elegante, she naturally hoped that Leon would quickly establish a branch company so they stopped delaying the growth of Elegante Group."Oh, as soon as possible, of course! Why don't I head over to visit the Thompsons right now? I'll see if the Thompsons can help us purchase a suitable cosmetics company!" Leon said after some thought."It's not that hard to purchase a company, why would you trouble the Thompsons for that? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Iris asked after she heard that
"Of course! We should always keep good things for ourselves. Since there are benefits to be gained, I'll naturally need to think about the Scammells!" Leon said with a pleased smile.He knew very well that Patrick did not really like him for the moment due to him and Cynthia, and even wanted to split him and Iris apart.However, Patrick was still related to Iris in the end. He could not make an enemy of Patrick because of this.If he could, he wanted to gain the approval of Patrick through his hard work!"Leon, I sure am happy to have you around," Iris said with a smile. She felt incredibly warm inside.Even though she did not care about what Patrick thought of Leon, she was still in a difficult spot since Patrick tried to stop her from being with Leon a few times.If Leon managed to gain Patrick's approval, then things would be much better for them!"Iris, you should rest at home, I'll go over to visit the Thompsons," Leon said before he prepared to leave."Leon, Snow, and I d
"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
