"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!
"Brat, how dare you act so arrogantly in Hughes territory! I'm warning you, let him go right now, or we won't hold back!" Norin and Nolan shouted out angrily, their expressions were murderous."You're expecting me to let him off? It's not that I can't!" Leon thought about it, and let Gordon go.The two Emperor State experts from the Hughes were quite strong. Even though it was no threat to him, it was still not going to be easy!He planned on letting Gordon go for now, and seeing what would happen!"That-"Norin and Nolan were both stunned. They exchanged looks of surprise with each other.It was obvious that the two of them never expected that Leon would let Gordon go!It completely stunned them just from the surprise alone!Of course, they were not the only ones who were stunned. Gordon was as well. He did not expect Leon to let him go so easily!He felt like he was dreaming!The next moment, as if he was worried that Leon would regret it, he immediately scrambled up and ra
"There's no need! Just come at me together. I don't want to waste my time!" Leon pointed at Nolan and Norin with a look of contempt.Since the Hughes were not going to be honorable, then there was no reason for him to hold back!He planned on unleashing his full might and instilling hopelessness in his enemies!What an arrogant brat!" Norin and Nolan were thoroughly angered by Leon's attitude when they heard that."Brat, you have to pay the price for your youthful arrogance! I'll show you how stupid you were to make an enemy of the Hughes! Take this!" Norin shouted angrily.After that, he wasted no time in charging forward, quickly unleashing his might at Leon."You're just at the initial Emperor State, but you speak so arrogantly! Know your place!" Leon scoffed.He shot forward and stuck out with incredible power right at Norin's attack!"Brat, you're the one who doesn't know his place!" Norin sneered with a look of disdain.Since Leon was using Spiritual Energy, he had no wa
"I-Impossible! This can't be real!"Norin clutched his chest in pain as he climbed up, looking at Leon in disbelief!He was at the initial Emperor State, but he lost to a young junior like Leon. Leon was even a completely unknown person!It was just too absurd!He could not understand how Leon did it. He could not accept the truth at all!"Brat, no wonder you dared to act so arrogantly in our territory. It looks like you have some skills! However, your meager skills are still too insignificant in the face of the Hughes! Let me test you out. I'll see what you can do!" Nolan said seriously, stepping forward.Even though he did not know how Leon defeated Norin, he still had a vague impression.Leon's speed and explosiveness were quite remarkable. He seemed to already be at the Semi Emperor State, and was not far away from the initial Emperor State!He guessed that Norin probably underestimated his opponent carelessly, and lost to Leon because of that!However, he was different!
"Brat, are you still going to be stubborn?" Nolan's expression turned cold.Even though he knew that Leon was probably only in the Semi Emperor State, he could not figure out where Leon got the confidence from. He was daring to try and face Nolan head-on!Was that no suicide?!Of course, just thinking about how Norin was strangely defeated by Leon, he did not face Leon head-on for safety's sake. Instead, he switched up his attack as he continued to charge at Leon!Leon did the same, quickly switching up his approach as he continued to go at Nolan!However, since Leon was not as quick as Nolan, he quickly fell behind. He found himself unable to keep up with Nolan's pace! Thankfully, he had the Mirror of Sovereign on him, so he was not worried that Nolan would be able to hurt him!However, any outsiders could tell that he was in incredible danger due to the difference in speed!"This guy is at the Semi Emperor State!""It looks like he's done for!"Gordon and Norin were both
"W-what exactly is this?" Nolan was taken aback. He appeared to have seen a ghost. He imagined that he could easily injure Leon!Yet he never imagined Leon would remain uninjured after taking a blow from him and standing there!It was simply incredible!He would refuse to believe it if he hadn't seen it for himself!That wasn't all; any mistake in a battle between experts could spell disaster!Leon took advantage of his blunder to strike back, and he could only stare as Leon's attack went for him!In the intermediate Emperor State, he was still an incredible warrior. He was not someone to be taken lightly!In the face of danger, he maneuvered his body a dozen centimeters to the side, narrowly avoiding an attack on his vitals. However, Leon's fist landed on his shoulder!Bang!Nolan let out a loud cry before taking three or four steps back, barely managing to regain his footing.He immediately felt a surge of blood up his chest. A stream of blood flowed from his mouth. He rece
"Brat, don't even think about it!" Nolan and Norin held back the pain in their bodies as they hurriedly rushed to stop Leon.Even though they knew that they were no match for Leon, Gordon was still the in-law of the Hughes. There was no way they could just sit by and let Leon hurt Goron!So, the two of them were forced to face Leon in hopes that they would win Gordon some more time to run away!"Get lost!" Leon said coldly.He needed to cut off the head of the beast. His goal was Gordon, and he was in no mood to continue fighting with Nolan and Norin, so he raised his hand and swiped forward.A few needles shot out, charging right at Nolan and Norin!Of course, those were just regular needles. They did not have Deadly Veratrum Poison on them.The poisoned needles were specifically meant to deal with the eight evildoers. He could not use it that causally."Not good!"Feeling the needles coming at them, Nolan and Norin's expressions changed.After that, they rolled on the g
"Preposterous!" At that moment, John charged forward and appeared in front of Leon.After that, he unleashed his immense power on the old man in a gray shirt!Bang!With an intense explosion, John and the old man's attacks fell squarely on each other.John's body did not move at all.Meanwhile, the old man was forced to stagger back a few steps before he regained his footing.It was obvious from that clash that John's strength was stronger than the old man's!"John, it's you!" The old man was shocked.John was an old expert from the Thompsons. Gordon, Nolan, and Norin were from younger generations, so it was normal that they did not recognize John.However, the old man was different. He was also part of the younger generation and met John before. He naturally knew who John was!Of course, the old man was not the only one who was shocked, Darius was as well!Even though he never met John before, he was quite friendly with Yuri.Roanne was Yuri's sister, so he met Roanne a
