"Leon, Iris, Snow, you're all here!" Roanne happily ran over when she saw the three of them."Roanne, it must have been hard for you the past few days, "Leon said with a smile."It wasn't. I didn't do much. It's just that, I was bored because all of you haven't been around," Roanne said with a cheeky smile.After they exchanged some pleasantries, Iris could not help but ask, "Roanne, what's been going on with the production of the cosmetics?""Oh, the production has been going quite smoothly. The targets you and Leon set earlier have almost all been reached," Roanne said simply. She then picked up a production report and handed it to Iris."Oh, alright," Iris had a pleased smile on her face after she flipped through it."Leon, we're ready for everything! Now that the cosmetics have already been produced, we just need to hurry up and find a distributor to work with. We have to break into the market in the Southern Region," Iris said after some thought.There were two ways a cosme
"Iris, we shouldn't delay the signing of the contract. I'll go over to the Hughes Group right now. I'll leave the matters that have piled up in the company to you," Leon said."Yes, alright. Go ahead," Iris said with a smile."Snow, let's go!" Leon called out to Snow.Snow's position was his assistant, so he naturally needed to bring Snow along if he went to sign the contract at Hughes Group."Yes, just wait a moment. I'll go print out the contract," Snow said, quickly printing out the company's information and two sets of the contract."Leon, can I go with you?" Roanne asked with some hesitation."Why would you want to go?" Leon was surprised.Snow was his assistant, so it was normal for Snow to go with him. However, Roanne was Iris' assistant, so he did not understand why Roanne would want to come with them."I-I've been quite bored in the company for the past few days. I just wanted to outside with you," Roanne said bashfully while she pulled at her clothes.Ever since Leon
After Gordon returned to his office, there was a knock on his door not too long later. After that, a professional female secretary dressed in back clothes walked in."Miss Lynn, do you need something?" Gordon could not help but ask."Mister Bailey, I got notification from security that there are three young people from Elegante Group here to discuss working with the Hughes Group," Sarah Lynn reported."What? Could they be from the Thompsons?" Gordon quickie stood up in shock.Even though Darius already told him that the Thompsons could be coming to sign the contract, it was an agreement between Yuri and Darius two days ago.Since the Thompsons did not show up for two days, he thought that they might not show up this day as well.Yet, right as Darius left, someone came over to talk about working together.It was just too much of a coincidence. It surprised him quite a bit!"I'm not sure, the man calls himself Leon, the chairman of Elegante Group. I don't know if he's related to
"Snow, it's been a long time! I can't believe I'm meeting you here!" Gordon said in disbelief. His eyes were fixed on Snow, completely ignoring Leon."Snow, do you know this guy?" Leon was shocked to hear that.After that, he looked at Gordon before looking at Snow again. He looked curious, unable to figure out how Snow know the man."I don't know him! He's just a scumbag!" Snow's face paled. She bit down on her lips as her eyes completely frosted over. She slowly regained her calm."A scumbag?" Leon was taken aback, completely confused by Snow's answer."Snow, what happened in the past was all my fault, but I had my difficulties too," Gordon said with a sigh. There was a melancholic look in his eyes.Thanks to his handsome looks, made him look quite attractive."Difficulties? Who are you trying to fool with that?!" Snow said coldly. Her eyes were full of disdain.The person in front of her was no one else but her university classmate, Gordon. He also happened to be her ex-boyf
"Snow, so he's your ex-boyfriend!" Leon realized.He knew about how Snow was hurt romantically before.Listening to the conversation between the two of them, he quickly got the gist of the situation."Snow, who is this guy? Could he be your current boyfriend?" Gordon shot a sharp look at Leon as his expression sank."I-"Leon gaped. Before he could even answer, Snow quickly seized the initiative. "That's right! He's my current boyfriend!" Snow did not even think about it before she quickly grabbed Leon's arm, deliberately acting incredibly close to Leon.She would not be embarrassed!Due to Gordon's betrayal, she was filled with hatred and disgust for Gordon!If Gordon found out that she did not even have a boyfriend, then it would be absolutely shameful!So, she was forced to use Leon to save her face!"What?"Snow's words were like a bomb that almost blasted Leon and ROanne away.Of course, they were not the only ones who were shocked. Gordon was too!Earlier, he was j
"You!"Feeling' Leon's intense gaze, Gordon felt like a sword stabbed into his bones. He could not help but shudder, feeling scared and stiff."Mister Bailey, this is Elegante's information and contract! If you don't have any problems with it, then please sign your name!" Leon said coldly, taking out the document and putting it on Gordon's desk, preparing to act only after he secured the contract."Dream on!" Gordon was furious. He hit Leon's contract away.Even though Darius already told him that the Thompsons could be sending someone over that day, he still knew of Snow's background. She was just an heiress of an insignificant family from Springfield City. There was no way they would be related to the Thompsons, the head of the Southern region!Furthermore, he never heard of Elegante before. He never saw Leon or Roanne in his circles before either!So, he was sure that Leon and the others could not be from the Thompsons!Since that's the case, there was no reason for him to be
"You're the one who doesn't know your place! Didn't you say you'd be able to kill me without even lifting a finger? Let me show you who's the more powerful one between us!" Leon scoffed.Facing Gordon's immense power, he advanced without taking a single step back. With a single finger out, he quickly charged at Gordon's attack with mighty force!"Brat, you do want to die!" Gordon laughed viciously. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.Since Leon was using spiritual energy, he did not feel any true energy fluctuations from Leon at all. He did not think that Leon would be able to stand up to his attack!Furthermore, Leon was meeting his attack with a single finger!It was just suicide!Right after that, he dramatically increased his power, using his full might as he planned on crippling Leon as revenge for Leon slapping him in the face!Yet, before he could even finish his thoughts, something that shocked him happened!Bang!With an intense clash, Leon's finger immediately broke
"What? Dream on!" Gordon scowled at that!He was already sure that Leon and the others were not from the Thompsons, there was no way he would sign the contract!As for kneeling and apologizing to Snow, that was even more impossible!The Hughes were one of the major families in the Southern region. They lost out to the Thompsons in wealth and power, but were practically without equal outside of that!As an in-law of the Hughes, he was an incredibly noble existence!On top of that, Snow was his ex-girlfriend. She came from an insignificant background, so there was no way he would kneel and apologize to Snow!There was no way he could agree with something that would humiliate and damage his reputation like that!"I guess you insist on being stubborn even in the face of death! You asked for this! Since you're not willing to apologize, then you can forget about those legs of yours!" Leon's face turned cold. There was a sharp glint of murder in his eyes. "Brat, don't be so reckless!
"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
