"What happened, Roanne? Why did you lose to Rodney so easily?" Angus asked in a low voice. "I don't know," Roanne replied rather sheepishly, looking a little remorseful. Since she was never in a real fight before, much less a duel, she still did not know how she managed to lose to Rodney within minutes! "Um," Seeing that not even Roanne could provide an answer, Angus and Yuri exchanged nervous glances. They all watched from beneath the stage and thus did not manage to witness the fight. All they saw was that Rodney unleashed just one attack, which took down Roanne as easily as ABC. However, none of them knew that Rodney secretly ambushed Roanne with a second attack disguised within the first one! However, the same could not be said for Leon! He and Cynthia were onstage when it happened, which meant they were in closer proximity to Rodney and Roanne. Not only that, but Leon was so worried about Roanne that he was watching Rodney carefully throughout. When Rodney first
"No need to be so cocky, Rodney! The only reason you managed to defeat Roanne was because you used a treasure as your secret weapon! There's nothing to be proud of when you won by deceit!" Leon said, sneering as he exposed the truth of Rodney's victory. Since he possessed plenty of secret weapons, it was safe to say that he knew a thing or two about using treasures to turn one's situation around! Something felt off about the surge of energy that Rodney emitted while attacking Roanne just now, and from Leon's experience, it was not hard to deduce that Rodney possessed some sort of Emperor Weapon that aided him in combat! This was how Rodney managed to defeat Roanne so easily! "Treasure? What treasure?" the audience was utterly gobsmacked by this. they all exchanged dubious glances, trying to decipher what Leon said. "You! I have no idea what you're talking about!" the smile unnaturally froze on Rodney's face. The way that Rodney''s entire demeanor changed only solidified Le
The Southern Boss's heart sank when he saw that Leon saw right through Rodney's trick. Rodney's defeat of Roanne worked in their favor so much that he already decided to use this opportunity to sabotage the sales drive and bring the Thompsons down together! However, he never once imagined that Leon would be so sharp as to realize what Rodney did and even see right through him! This not only foiled their plans but even rendered all their efforts utterly futile! "Hey, Leon, don't be a sore loser! Roanne has already lost, and we all saw it with our own two eyes, so don't keep trying to find excuses for her failure!" the Southenr Boss said coldly as he stepped forward, trying desperately to turn the situation around. "I'm not trying to find excuses. I'm just spouting facts!" Leon replied indignantly. "Facts? What nonsense! The fact is that Roanne's advancement in power level is just a hoax and that you and the Thompsons staged this act and treated all of us like monkeys to ta
"What? Do my ears deceive me? Did you just say you want to challenge me?" Leon could not believe his ears! He was not the only one shocked by this; the audience was equally as stunned by Rodney's audacity! None of them ever imagined that Rodney would have the audacity to challenge Leon to a duel instead! This worked incredibly in Rodney's favor, the audience immediately shifted their attention onto the duel instead of the ring. "No, you didn't hear me wrongly! You're just a scaredy-cat that won't rise to the challenge!" Rodney declared with a contemptuous sneer. This was the main reason he and his father attended the sales drive in the first place; to find an opportunity to challenge and bring down Leon! Now, seeing that their plans to bring down Roanne failed, he decided to shift his attention to Leon instead! Although he already witnessed Leon's true display of power before, he possessed a piece of Emperor Weapon that was more than capable of defeating Leon! It would
"Why are you whispering among yourselves, huh? You've already accepted my challenge, so it's too late to change your mind now, Leon!" Rodney snapped rather impatiently. He was worried that Leon would withdraw his acceptance to the duel! "Don't worry. I've always been a man of my word and will never go back on my promises!" Leon scoffed. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he leaped onto the stage. "Very well then! Remember, you asked for it!" Rodney cackled as he stepped into position to face Leon directly. "Let's do this, Rodney!" a glimmer of malice flashed through the Southern Boss' eyes as he could not help admiring his son's courage to take on Leon in a duel. He first heard of Leon Wolf from the Black Gorilla, and at that time, Leon was still at the Overlord State, but soon after that, when he encountered Leon again at Charlie's battle against Leon and the Scammells, Leon managed to attain the Emperor State with the help of his treasure! He ascended to such power that
Meanwhile, onstage, Rodney turned to Leon with a look of disdain and said, "You can go first, Leon!" Since Leon practiced the sage arts, Rodney, like his father, was not too sure of Leon's true extent of power and thus was trying to get Leon to attack first to gauge his power. "I'd like you to go first so that you might have a fighting chance!" Leon scoffed, putting on a demeanor even more contemptuous than Rodney's. "Very well then! You asked for this, and since you have a death wish, I'll gladly fulfill you!" Rodney snickered, utterly outraged by how cocky Leon was behaving. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed a surge of power and sent it barreling Leon's way! However, since he was just trying to lure Leon into retaliating, he did not put much force into his first attack and did not even employ his secret weapon. Instead, he unleashed a few more attacks in Leon's way, intending to provoke Leon and make him reveal the true extent of his capabilities. "Take th
"Rats! I can't believe how powerful Leon Wolf truly is!" the Southern Boss stared at Leon and Rodney onstage with a dark expression. According to the Black Gorilla and Charlie's reports, he made Leon out to be an insignificant character from Springfield City, and thus never gave much thought to him at all! However, it turned out that Leon did not only manage to establish a successful company like Cynthion Group, but he also possessed outstanding martial arts prowess and attained the Emperor State, which was not too far behind Rodney! Leon had great potential in his future, and he was certain that if he did not find some way to get rid of Leon as soon as possible, it would be considerably harder for him to do so in the future! Fortunately, luck was on his side, and this duel was the perfect opportunity for Rodney to do just that! Although Leon and Rodney appeared to be equal matches in battle, he knew that Rodney was yet to employ his secret weapon, which was the ring he was w
"Finally!" Leon scoffed. Although it was for a split second, he still managed to sense that the ring Rodney was wearing belonged to the Peak Emperor State! Since he was only at the Intermediate Almighty State, this meant that he was yet to harness the powers necessary to defeat any attacks of the Peak Emperor State! Just as he was about to use the Mirror of Sovereign to defend himself, however, he recalled the sage techniques that he newly acquired! With that, Leon changed his mind and decided to put his sage techniques to use! "Take this!" he yelled as he stepped forward, channeling all his sage energy into his index finger and utilizing the Earthly Plunder, a method that belonged to the Advanced Power class. A surge of power was unleashed from his index finger and sped straight toward Rodney at breakneck speed! "Is Mister Wolf trying to counter Rodney's attack with one finger?" "Has he gone insane?" Angus and Yuri were all stunned by this sight. They, like Leon, manag
