The next few days, Elegante Group focused their energy on manufacturing, and with the help of Hughes Group and Zeller Group, managed to steadily grow their reputation within a short time. Their efforts were like a snowball rolling down a slope, propelling them into a prosperous new stage of their development! In a little over a week, Elegante Group created a formidable reputation for itself within the Southern region, and was even beginning to expand its business, showing signs of great prosperity! Working alongside Zeller Group, they managed to gradually export some of the products to the other four regions of Sky County, opening a new market and establishing a strong foundation for their future! Elegante Group successfully carried out its business plan and accomplished its goal, paving its way toward a bright future! The General Manager's office of Hiltons Corporation. "Clang—" A loud crack echoed through the air as Joel Hiltons, the heir to the company, picked up his
"Elegante Group? I've never heard of it! Cousin, it's just a small cosmetic firm. It can't possibly affect Hiltons Corporation's status! I think you're worried about too much!" Seth said and did not see Elegante Group as a threat."You don't understand! It's not just an ordinary cosmetic firm. I don't know how they managed it, but they somehow persuaded Hughes Group to work with them, or it would've never grown so rapidly!" Joel said.Hiltons Corporation was the head of the southern region's cosmetic industry. Since Elegante Group established itself in the southern region, Joel was informed about its corporation with Hughes Group.In modern society, resources and platforms were crucial to businesses.There were plenty of cosmetic firms in the southern region and Hiltons Corporation had nothing to fear from other companies, but Elegante Group was different.It received great feedback for its product and Hughes Group's support was only stronger, which meant that Elegante Group would
"Hello, Mister Golan. Do you need something?" Gordon said as soon as he answered the call."Mister Bailey, I want information regarding Elegante Group. Do you know anything?" Seth asked."Elegante Group? Of course, I know that company!" Gordon conflicted with Leon recently.Not only was he badly beaten, but he was also eventually forced to kneel and apologize to Leon and Snow, so the memories of the humiliation were still fresh."Great! Tell me everything you know about Elegante Group," Seth said and switched his phone to speaker mode so that Joel could listen to the conversation as well."Elegante Group is a small business that started in Springfield City. The chairman is a kid called Leon Wolf," Gordon explained."A company from Springfield City?" Both Joel and Seth were stunned.They shot each other a shocked look as they thought that Elegante Group obtained the resources from Hughes Group because it was run by a powerful figure.To their bewilderment, Elegante Group was onl
"I've done my research about them, so don't worry!" Seth said with a smile.Gordon was not clear as to why Hughes Group would invest so much in Elegante Group, but since Elegante Group originated from a small city, it was unlikely that the company was supported by powerful figures.Both Seth and Joel thought the same.Joel knew how effective Elegante Group's products were and assumed that the investment was simply a result of Darius seeing the potential in Elegante Group."How dare a small foreign business attempt to find a place in the southern region market?! They must learn their places!" Darius scoffed and narrowed his eyes viciously, his determination to destroy Elegante Group strengthening."Cousin, what are you going to do?" Seth asked."The Elegante Group's products work like magic, and if we can buy the company out, it will give the Hiltons Corporation a cutting edge!" Joel said, his eyes lighting up eagerly.Though Hiltons Corporation was the head of the southern regio
Outisde the gate of the Elegante Group building, a black luxury car stopped and once the door opened, Seth stepped out smugly with two of his bodyguards."Please stop there! May I know what's your business here?"Two security guards stopped Seth on his track as soon as he strode past the gate."I want to meet with your chairman! Take me to him right now!" Seth commanded arrogantly."I'm sorry, Sir, but our chairman isn't in the office today."The guards could tell that Seth was someone of high status and did not dare to cross him, so they told him the truth."Your chairman isn't in the office? What about your president?" Seth was surprised."Miss Young's here. Please hang on for a moment. We'll inform her about your visit," the guards said respectfully."Hang on? I don't have time to waste! Get out of my way!" Seth scoffed and released his true energy at the guards."Baam! Baam!"The security guards were ordinary men swarmed by the energy before they could react; they were in
"Who are you? Why did you beat our guards and barge in here?!" Mason roared and stopped Seth and two other men."You are in the Supreme States, and you don't even have the right to speak to me!" Seth scoffed and turned to his bodyguard. "Floyd, I'll leave these men to you. Keep them out of the way!""Yes!" Floyd said, before stepping forward and lunging himself at Mason."How? How dare you?!" Mason was furious. Not only had Seth barged into Elegante Group, but he also resorted to violence for no reason.Amid his anger, he noticed that Floyd was far more powerful than him and immediately joined forces with the other two men to fend Floyd off.However, he underestimated the strength of martial artists in the southern region and Floyd long reached the Advanced Overlord State."Baam! Baam! Baam!"Floyd launched attack after attack, leaving no chance for them to resist and soon, they were all sent flying.Mason and the other two spewed blood from their mouths and instantly lost the
Meanwhile, Seth barged into the service hall of Elegante Group with his bodyguards.Iris already received the report from the security guards at this point, so she hurried outside with Roanne, Snow, and Roanne’s bodyguard, John.The two parties ran into one another in the hall."Who are you people? Why did you barge into our office?" Iris questioned sharply, feeling confused as to what their intentions could be."So beautiful! There are three extreme beauties at once! Am I dreaming?" Seth froze at the sight of Iris, Roanne, and Snow.As the eldest son of the Golans, he saw countless women in the past, but he never saw anyone as beautiful as the three before his eyes.Instantly, he was stunned.Iris and Cynthia were recognized for their beauty since the Cynthion Group sales drive. The two were referred to as the Twin Beauties of the Southern Region and became the dream women of all eligible bachelors in the Southern region.Seth was injured in the Black Market and was recovering
"As if you can resist. What a joke! You should all know your place! Since you want to suffer, I will do this the hard way!" Seth's expression darkened.He assumed that Elegante Group was merely a small business that started in Springfield City and saw how weak the security guards of the office were, so he did not care about Iris's threats."What are you planning?" Iris's expression darkened as an ominous feeling overwhelmed her."What do you think? Miss Young, if I'm not mistaken, you must be close with the chairman if you are the president here, right? I will capture you and your chairman can file all the paperwork for the buy over, before coming to the Golans to bring you home once he has the contracts!" Seth sneered and scanned Iris devilishly.Iris was extremely beautiful and her beauty even surpassed that of Snow and Roanne.Seth never saw such a beautiful woman before and was instantly enslaved by her as soon as he laid eyes on her.He intended to capture Iris and use her t
"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
