"Who are you?" Joel stared at the alluring woman before him, feeling both enticed and shocked."I'm Roanne Thompson!" She said in a melodious voice."What?! You are Roanne Thompson?!"...Both Joel and Seth were stunned.None of them ever saw Roanne in person before, but all families in the southern region heard that she was kidnapped by Asmodeus some time ago.At the realization that she was the eldest daughter of the Thompsons, they were both confused as to why someone of such high status would be in the Elegante Group."I see what happened!" Joel snapped out of it and came to realize that John was here as Roanne's bodyguard."Ro, don't waste your time with him! Just leave it to me! If they want a fight that bad, I'll fight them!" Leon said and narrowed his eyes fiercely.Not only did Joel plot to take control of Elegante Group, but he also went back on his words and Leon was completely enraged by his actions.With all the tricks up his sleeves, Leon was not at all scared o
"Miss Thompson, out of respect for you and the Thompsons, this ends now!" Joel took a deep breath to suppress his anger.Since Roanne was determined to protect Leon and John was there to step in at any moment, he knew that he had no choice but to give up.Naturally, Joel did not know that Leon was far more powerful than he anticipated and without Roanne's interference, he would have suffered worse injuries."You got lucky this time, kid. Consider yourself spared this time! You'll pay for this in the future!" Joel glared at Leon and turned to Seth. "Let's go!"The group was about to leave when Leon stepped forward with a smirk. "Hang on!""What else do you want, Leon?" Joel stopped and glared at him coldly."What do you think? Mister Hiltons, you commanded Seth to barge in here and injured our security guards! As soon as you find out that we have the upper hand, you want to leave. Things don't always go your way!" Leon mocked."What?"Joel and Seth gaped in disbelief.Joel only
"Go on, then. What do you want?" Joel gritted out with a sneer."Well, how about this? Out of my respect for the Hiltons, you and Seth are going to compensate Mason and the other two with 450 thousand, and I will spare the two of you!" Leon said.Since Mason and the others were only suffering some internal injuries, he knew better than to ask for something outrageous and decided to let bygones be bygones so long as Joel was willing to pay."What?!""That's not going to happen!"Both Joel and Seth glared at Leon with dark looks.Though 450 thousand meant nothing to them, compromising would make them fools.Masons and the other two martial artists might be injured, but Joel and Seth were suffering worse injuries at the hand of Leon, yet Leon requested them to pay for the medical fees for Mason and the others.If they accepted the condition, they would become the laughingstock of the entire southern region."It is happening! Refuse to comply, and I guarantee that neither of you g
After leaving Elegante Group, Mathew and the others immediately sent Joel and Seth to the hospital to get treated.Joel only had one arm broken, so he simply needed to wear a cast to hold his arm in place; however, Seth had his leg broken and needed to rest in a wheelchair for at least a month or two before he could walk again.Thankfully, the two were both skilled martial artists with superior physiques, so neither of them needed to stay in the hospital or undergo any surgical procedures....After leaving the hospital, Joel and Seth went into the car with Mathew and the others."Joel, what should we do now? Leon put both of us in this situation. We have to destroy him to avenge the humiliation he caused us today!" Seth said viciously, his eyes filled with hatred toward Leon."Of course! But that little bast*rd saved Roanne Thompson's life before and is close to the Thompsons! If we want to get rid of him, we'll need to plan everything well!" Joel said, his arrogance from earlie
"Treasure? Can that be how he managed to defeat me?" Joel was shocked but felt that he saw clarity at the same time.Leon fell short in speed and explosive power compared to him and it baffled him as to how Leon managed to defeat him.Realization dawned on him that Leon might have won by relying on the treasure he owned as there seemed to be no other possibility."I think so!" Seth misled himself into thinking that Leon defeated Joel with the help of the Spiritual Pearl.What he did not know was that Leon succeeded with the help of the Mirror of Sovereign instead of the Spiritual Pearl.Tressures were extremely scarce and anyone would be lucky to come across one, so neither of them could imagine that Leon had other treasures apart from the Spiritual Pearl."Cousin, a treasure is something that all martial artists would kill for. If we announce to the public that Leon possesses a piece of treasure, countless people will be going after him for it! Even with the Thompsons to back hi
In a five-star hotel in the southern region, Gordon arrived by car.Joel and Seth contacted him not long ago, saying that there was something that they needed to discuss with him, so he made time out of work to hurry over."I wonder why they called me here. Can it be that they have taken care of Leon and Elegante Group and invited me here to thank me?" Gordon parked his car and muttered to himself in confusion.The two called him earlier that morning asking about Elegante Group and he instantly realized that Joel might be plotting to take control of Elegante Group because it had the potential to become a threat to the Hiltons' businesses.On the same day, the two suddenly invited him to dine with them in a five-star hotel.After a few moments of thought, Gordon realized that Joel might have succeeded and invited him to the hotel to thank him for the information he provided."Yeah, that has to be it!" The more Gordon thought about it, the more he believed it.He knew that though
"Gordon, are you mocking me and my cousin? How dare you?!" Seth slammed his palms against the table in a fit of rage."I'm not!" Gordon snapped out of it and asked, "Mister Golan, Mister Hiltons, what happened to you? Why are both of you injured?""What do you think? This is all your fault!" Seth glared daggers at Gordon.If he did not know Gordon for some time, he could have killed him right there and then."Me? How's this my fault?" Gordon asked in confusion."How's it not? You told us that Leon Wolf is just a nobody who came from Springfield City. Not only is he extremely skilled in martial art, but he's also a close friend of the Thompsons! In the end, both I and my cousin were beaten up," Feeling increasingly angry, Seth's expression darkened."What? How's that possible?!?" Gordon could not bring himself to believe what he heard.He knew that Leon was close with the Thompsons, but Joel was one of the very best martial artists in his generation with no other rival apart from
"Mister Golan, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me! Besides, why would I mislead you on purpose? What do I have to gain?" Gordon argued."Well," Seth paused and exchanged confused looks with Joel.The two of them were certain that Gordon misled them on purpose, but since Gordon had no personal grudge against them, there seemed to be no reason for him to do such a thing unless he had a death wish."Are you telling the truth, Gordon?" Joel asked."Of course!" Gordon said sincerely.He thought that Joel would crush Leon with ease, not expecting that both Joel and Seth ended up being defeated by Leon instead; hence, it was indeed an accident as he never meant Seth and Joel any harm."Well, I'll believe you this time!" Joel said, the dark expression on his face easing."Alright," Gordon sighed a breath of relief."Mister Bailey, I can let this slide, but on one condition: you have to help me take Leon and Elegante Group down!" Joel said."What?!" Gordon gaped at him. "Mister H
