"Baam!"Just then, the noises and Willie's shout alerted the two mid-aged men and guards standing outside the door.They opened the door and hurried inside."Mister Liberton, wh- what happened to you?"They were shocked to find the room in a mess and Willie injured, so they immediately helped him up from the ground."Get that b*tch!" Willie pointed at Cynthia in rage."Yes!"Two of the guards went over to grab Cynthia.Cynthia did not resist, nor did she have the power to do so, and simply allowed the guards to restrain her."B*tch, how dare you sneak up on me? You'll die for this!" Enraged, Willie walked over, suppressing the agonizing pain in his body."You're the one who should die! If you weren't lucky, you would have gone to hell by now!" Cynthia glared daggers at him fearlessly."B*tch, shut your mouth! I'll kill you!" Blinded by rage, Willie raised his arm to slap her.Cynthia bit down on her lower lip and her heart sank as she braced for the slap. She knew that she
"Leon!" Willie was terrified when he saw Leon.He captured Cynthia in the hope of luring Leon into his trap but never expected Leon to arrive so soon without alerting any of the martial artists in the Libertons Mansion.It all seemed impossible and he could not understand how Leon accomplished it.Naturally, he was unaware of the Soul Searcher Pills and did not know that Leon would have never gotten past all the traps in the Liberton Mansion to find Cynthia."You are finally here, Leon. I'm so glad!" Cynthia was overjoyed and the despair within her instantly vanished without a trace.Unable to suppress her fear any longer, she threw herself into Leon's arms and burst into tears."It's okay now, Cynthia. It's over! I am right here and I won't let anyone hurt you!" Leon wrapped his arms around Cynthia; his voice was soft, yet determined."I believe you!" Cynthia wanted to vent her emotions and pulled away with a beaming smile.Because of the slap she received from Willie in the o
"You must have a death wish!" The man sneered and thought to himself, 'How dare a young brat like him face me directly?'He intensified his attack and intended to destroy Leon with a single blow. However, what happened next did not go as he planned."Baam!"His attack at full force was easily canceled out by Leon and Leon remained unscathed.Meanwhile, a wave of true energy in the Initial Supreme State gathered in Leon's fist and a punch landed on his chest.The man spewed blood and instantly flew into the wall behind him."How? How's this possible?" The man placed his hand on his chest and stared at Leon in disbelief.He was considered an accomplished martial artist to have reached the Advanced Overlord State, yet he was defeated and severely injured by a fameless young man and he found it difficult to accept it."Die!" Meanwhile, another man charged toward Leon and attacked Leon's back.Leon was carrying Cynthia with one arm and could not counter the attack, so he simply tur
"No!" The man tried to dodge the attack but focused all his power on the earlier attack and did not have any strength left to move away.At the very last moment, he managed to tilt his body to the side, narrowly escaping the blow that was directed at his chest, only for it to land on his shoulder instead."Snap!"A sharp pain shot up his shoulder and he was sent flying into the distance. After landing on the ground, he spewed blood from his mouth and instantly lost all ability to fight."Know your laces!" Leon scoffed after defeating the men and was prepared to go after Willie, who ran away earlier. However, he stilled after taking only a few steps forward and turned to ask Cynthia, "Are these two the ones who injured Spencer and Stephen?""Yeah." Cynthia nodded."Good! I shall make you two pay for what you did to the Sharp siblings!" Leon sneered and strode toward the men."Wh- what are you doing? Don't come any closer!"An ominous feeling took over the two men."Shut it!" Le
"It's fine. Don't worry, Cynthia. I've already gotten Iris to contact the Scammells for help! The Libertons can't hurt me!" Loen smiled reassuringly."But!" Cynthia was still concerned as they were in the heart of the Libertons' territory. Even with the help of the Scammells, Leon might not be able to win; on top of that, the Scammells would need time to arrive at the Liberton Mansion and there was no telling if Leon could fend off all the Libertons on his own in the meantime."There are no 'buts'! I'm going to crush Willie and avenge you and Ruth! That's not it. I'm also going to rid the southern region of the Libertons!" Leon said with determination.It was normal or there to be conflicts between martial artists and had the Libertons attempted to fight him directly, Leon would have faced with honor as well; however, the Libertons resorted to targeting innocent women and Willie went as far as to break Ruth's leg.Leon was livid and was determined the eradicate the Libertons.Afte
"Also, Leon has a defensive tool that gives him the strength equivalent of a martial artist in the Peak Overlord State! Be careful not to get tricked!" Willie reminded the others.After the conflict when Leon bought over the pharmaceutical firm, Willie found out that Leon was a mediocre martial artist at best and that he only managed to defeat Wade with the help of a defensive tool.However, the two Liberton elders were both Semi-Emperor and were far more capable compared to Wade. With the help of the other martial artists, they should be able to get rid of Leon with ease unless he reached the Emperor State.In the southern region, Yuri and Rodney were the only ones in their generation to have reached the Emperor State; both were the heir of extremely powerful families and possessed rare talents in martial arts.Leon was merely a relative of the Scammells, so it seemed unrealistic to think that Leon could reach the Emperor State."A defensive tool? That's just as useful as a piece
"You fool!" Willie sneered and stared at Leon as though he was looking at a fool when he saw that Leon was facing the Fourth Elder directly.He knew treasures were hard to come especially when they held exceptional power.After observing the duel between Leon and Wade and seeing how Wade succeeded in injuring Leon at first, Willie determined that the defensive tool Leon owned held power at the Peak Overlord State at best.Considering how low a power level Loen was at, he might be able to survive a few attacks from the Fourth Elder if he moved around swiftly while utilizing the defensive tool.However, Leon was arrogant enough to face the Fourth Elder head-on and Willie was certain that this would lead to Leon's demise."Get him, Fourth Elder!"...The other Libertons cheered as they all assumed that a young man like Leon would be capable of defeating an accomplished martial artist like the Fourth Elder.Amid their cheers, what happened next shook them."Baam!"Following a dea
"I don't know what's going on. Can it be that his tool holds more power than the Peak Overlord State? How is that possible?" Willie was stunned and confused.The strength of a tool usually remained unchanged and he assumed that the tool was only at the Peak Overlord State after Leon was injured by Wade, yet Leon managed to defeat a Semi-Emperor with a tool at the Peak Overlord State.It was so far beyond his understanding that he struggled to comprehend the situation.What he was unaware of was that the Mirror of Sovereign was not an ordinary treasure, but a super treasure with power that increased as the wielder’s power increased, which was something that Willie could not begin to fantom."Whatever, forget it! A tool is just a tool and there's nothing to fear! Let's see how far he gets with just a tool!" The Third Elder said coldly.The Third Elder lived long enough to develop a vast knowledge of treasure.Both defensive and offensive tools required an incredible amount of time
