"He's done for…""Leon's going to die this time…"In contrast to how excited Nigel and the others were, Patrick, Damian, and Penny felt like their hearts were completely frozen!They knew very well that Rick was far stronger than Leon. They were on completely different levels!If there were no surprises, Leon would not be able to take Rick's blow at all!However, before they could even finish their thoughts, something that shocked everyone happened the next moment!Bang!After an intense clash, Rick's immense attack immediately broke through Leon's spiritual energy, and his remaining power rushed right at Leon!Leon remained calm in the face of danger, and he used the Mirror of Sovereign for the remainder of Rick's true energy!At the same time, he used Double Attack. A wave of true energy that was at the level of an Initial Supreme Master rose in his fist, slamming viciously on Rick's chest!Rick did not have a defense up, so he took the full blow and immediately spat out tw
"Despicable!"Leon's expression changed dramatically. He quickly turned and immediately tried to retreat and avoid Anderson's ambush!However, his skills were still only at the level of the Advanced Overlord State. In terms of speed and explosiveness, he was too far below Anderson!Even though he used all his strength, he was not able to avoid Anderson's attack!With danger looming, he was forced to strike back and use the Mirror of Sovereign to protect himself!Bang!With a violent strike, Anderson's true energy broke through Leon's attack and landed squarely on Leon's chest.Leon immediately spat out two mouthfuls of blood as he was sent flying before he slammed into the ground heavily.Right after that, there was intense pain in his chest. He had clearly suffered internal injuries.Thankfully, he had the Mirror of Sovereign to take a large part of the attack.Otherwise, he would probably have been crippled from that blow!"Perfect! Anderson, you've performed beautifully!"
"Crap!" Leon's expression changed drastically.Ever since he obtained the Spiritual Pearl, his sage arts have already reached a bottleneck of the Intermediate Foundation Phase. He was only a sliver away from leveling up!He had been working hard with his training, hoping that he would be able to break through!However, it did not seem like it was meant to be. No matter how hard he tried, there were no signs of him making a breakthrough.He never expected that, right at a key moment of a fight, his sage arts would start to show signs of breaking through!It was just such an inopportune thing!After all, it was not easy to make a breakthrough. He would at least need to spend some time on it.However, his enemies were right in front of him. Charlie would be able to kill him easily!However, if he did not take the chance and miss out on it, he did not know how long it would take him to show any signs again!Suddenly, he was caught in a difficult spot, not knowing what to do!"A
"Anderson, stop wasting your time talking to that girl! Just grab her along with Iris!" Charlie looked at Roanne's stunning looks, and his eyes glinted. He suddenly felt a sense of amazement.Since Roanne had been ill and rarely went out, he had never seen Roanne before and did not know that Roanne was a Thompson!Other than that, Roanne's looks were comparable to Iris'. Both of them were beautiful beyond compare!If he could get both of them at the same time, having one for each arm, would it not be perfect?Just thinking about it got him very excited!"Yes!" Anderson acknowledged.Right after that, without a second of delay, he rushed forward to grab the two girls!"Not good…"Patrick and the others felt their hearts sink at the sight.They wanted to stop Anderson from getting Iris, but Anderson was just too strong. On top of that, Patrick and Damian had already been injured by Anderson before that.They were powerless to help and could only stare with widened eyes as Iri
Charlie looked at the old man warily after he snapped out of his shock. "W—Who are you?""John Thompson," the old man said coldly, announcing who he was."What? Y—You're a Thompson?"The announcement left everyone shell-shocked as though a bomb had gone off. Whether it was Charlie and Rick or Damian's side, none of them expected an expert from the Thompsons to miraculously be present.Charlie looked at Roanne behind John, and his eyes widened. He quickly guessed who Roanne was. "Is that Roanne Thompson, then?"He might never have met Roanne before, but he knew who she was.Most of the ancient families had heard about how Roanne had been captured by Asmodeus a few days ago as well; it was just that very few people had seen Roanne herself.With John beside Roanne and protecting her, anyone would be able to guess that Roanne was the secretive daughter of the Thompsons."I guess you do have eyes," John said with a sneer."That…"Charlie was thoroughly shocked when John admitted t
"These bad guys attacked and hurt Leon! Capture them all so Leon can deal with them!" Roanne ordered angrily."Yes!" answered John.It was always better to take the head of the beast first. He knew that Charlie was the leader of their opponents, so he quickly launched forward with immense power, trying to grab Charlie."Don't!"Charlie was scared stiff. He knew very well that John was too strong. He was far from someone he and the others could deal with. Moreover, after everything that happened between him and Leon, the latter would never forgive him if he was captured and handed over to him.With danger looming, he quickly had a thought as he retreated and hurriedly said, "Sir, wait! I want to say something!""Speak up, then!" John scoffed, stopping his attack for a moment.After all, he was someone from the older generation, while Charlie was from the younger generation. He could not possibly not give Charlie the chance to speak."Sir, this is an internal conflict between t
"Sir, you should know that the Martells are related to the Southern Boss. Please let me go for his sake!" Charlie hurriedly mentioned the Southern Boss when he saw that John was starting to sway."The Southern Boss?" John's expression turned serious.Even though the Thompsons were not afraid of the Southern Boss, he did not dare underestimate that man's power. Furthermore, he was just one of the collateral descendants of the family. He did not dare to make any decisions.Without permission from the family head, he would not provoke the Southern King for something so small. He could not risk stirring up more conflict.It would do the Thompsons no good."For the sake of the Southern Boss, get lost, you brat," John said coldly, quickly making a decision.If Charlie left, he would have helped Leon protect the first line of the Scammells. That was more than enough.To prevent the matter from getting any more serious, he was forced to stop here."Thank you. I'll take my leave, then."
"Mister Thompson, are you seeing this? You've already agreed to let us leave, but Leon's trying to stop us! If he ends up in some conflict with us because he doesn't know his place, please keep your promise. Don't protect him," Charlie said seriously.He had to render John neutral so that he would not help Leon fight him."I…"John was speechless.He could tell what Charlie was planning, but he had a point—he, John, gave him his word. Since he was from the older generation, he could not go against his promise, especially when it affected his family's reputation.Furthermore, he did not want the matter to get any bigger, so he was not planning on going against his word anyway."Mister Wolf, you should just forget about it. Since they've stepped out of the matter, you should let them leave," John advised."That's right!""Leon, we're all fine now anyway. Let's just let the matter rest!"Patrick and Damian chimed in as well, advising Leon as they did.Even though Charlie had inj
