"Mister Wolf, we have so many talents in our R-and-D department. It took them half a year to even obtain any noticeable results!""Who do you think you are? Claiming that you'll manage to develop ten cosmetic products in just one week?""You're just dreaming!" George mocked.If someone who was not even in the field was able to develop new cosmetics in just a week, then what would be the purpose of the research and development department?!"Leon, I know you're acting with the company's interests in mind, but this isn't something within your capabilities. What are you trying to cause a scene for?!" Iris glared at Leon unhappily.She remembered very well how Leon told her himself that he was not that confident in this the night before.Yet, at that moment, Leon guaranteed that he would be able to develop ten new products in just a week.There was no way she could believe Leon!"Miss Young, I'm not trying to cause a scene. I'm speaking the truth! I have the confidence that I can do
"Alright, I agree! You'll be out of this company soon!" Ashwin sneered as he looked at Leon in disdain. He looked like he already had victory in hand."That's a promise! Let's have Miss Young and all our colleagues here be our witnesses!" Leon smiled."He doesn't know his place!"The executives were amused by Leon's words.They did not think Leon had the skill to obtain victory, and none of them knew where Leon got the courage and confidence from!"Alright, the meeting is ending!" Iris glared at Leon unhappily.She thought the same as the rest and did not think that Leon could lose. However, when she saw how confident Leon looked, she did not say anything about it in the end.…In the next few days, Leon threw himself into the factory, looking into how to increase the effectiveness of their products with Stanley as well as developing new products.Thanks to all their hard work, the matter saw a drastic improvement.When it came to processing raw materials, Leon followed Stanl
"Of course! I was fortunate this time, and I've already accomplished what I promised Miss Young last week!" George had an incredibly pleased look on his face."Really? Then we'll have to congratulate you!""High-end cosmetics are very important to the growth of the company. Once Miss Young finds out, your department will be handsomely rewarded!"…Quite a few executives offered their congratulations."Mister Proctor, you did well!" Ashwin nodded in satisfaction.He was in the same boat as George at that moment. The fact that the R-and-D department succeeded was a good thing for him. It meant that they already secured half of the bet!Not long after that, they heard some high heels walking over. Iris entered the room with Gracie, the secretary. She sat in the main position and looked up, saying strangely, "Hey, where's Leon and Ariel? Why don't I see them?""I don't know, we haven't seen them either, "Everyone shook their heads in bewilderment."Could Leon be trying to run aw
George clapped, motioning for the specialists from the R-and-D department to bring the trolleys over.After that, he handed the products to them to be tested.All of them explained the relevant data and requirements needed to be considered high-end products before they put the cosmetics into the machines.As the machines worked, George used his laptop to connect to the screen and showed the results on the large screen in the meeting room.Right next to it, he displayed the data for high-end products so everyone could compare."Miss Young, please look. All three of these products are qualified to be high-end products based on the country's regulations! There are also three of those data points that greatly exceed the requirements!" George said proudly.Twelve main factors were being tested, and three of them far exceeded the requirements. It meant that the effects were very good.The company could use those three factors to storm into the market!"That's great! Mister PRoctor, y
Leon put all the products from the black bag onto the meeting table. There were exactly sixteen bottles."Sixteen?""Is he for real?!"Everyone was stunned as they exchanged looks of uncertainty.No one dared to believe what Leon said!"You can see if it's real or not after testing!" Leon had a calm look on his face as he handed all sixteen products to the specialists.The men from the R-and-D department were incredibly doubtful as they placed all of the products into the machines, undergoing their testing.Not too long after, the results came out.The employees rubbed their eyes in disbelief when they saw the numbers displayed on the screen."Reed, how are the results, are they high-end quality?" George could not help but ask.The other executives looked at the employees with concern as well. Even though they did not believe that Leon would be able to develop any cosmetics, their confidence started to sway at the unusual reactions."Mister Proctor, there seems to be a probl
George was stunned.Iris was dumbfounded.Even Ashwin and all of the executives of the company were gobsmacked!They would never even have dreamed of the fact that Leon would not only fulfill the promise but even develop cosmetics that were so amazing!The effects of those cosmetics were even much better than some international brands!"Good!""That's amazing!"After a moment, Iris stood up and slammed the table, shocking the other executives into standing up as well.Everyone stood up!"Leon, y-you're too amazing! This is just a complete miracle!" Iris was far too emotional, and she gave Leon a big hug right in front of everyone. Her smile looked like a hundred blooming flowers, absolutely beautiful.Even though she did not know how Leon did it, she still knew something very well.If the company had such amazing products in the future, it would make them a top international brand, let alone make it into the high-end marker!It was obvious why she was so emotional!"Iris,
It was not a big deal anyway, and doing the test again would not use up that much time.After that, the specialists from the R-and-D department recalibrated the machines. After making sure there were no issues, they put the products into the machine again, performing an even more detailed test.The results were out very quickly.Looking at the screen, the results were the same. Ashwin, George, and all the doubtful executives were suddenly completely quiet.Suddenly, there was not a single sound in the entire place.Leon looked around and calmly fixed his gaze on Ashwin and George. He was the first to dispel the quiet atmosphere, "Mister Mercer, Mister Proctor, do the two of you have anything else to say?""I…"Both Ashwin and George looked incredibly ashen. They had an incredibly defeated look on their faces. The two of them could not figure out how Leon did it at all. It was too unbelievable! "Since the two of you have nothing to say, then I've won this wager!" Leon said co
The problem with the raw materials was always something that nagged her. Yet, Leon not only develop new high-end products, but he even got rid of that problem for her.It was absolutely a divine blessing in her eyes!It was the first time she sincerely acknowledged Leon's abilities!"T-that… Is he even human?!" All of the executives in the company had their jaws wide, almost touching the ground. They all looked at Leon like a monster.Ashwin and George were in an even worse state. They were completely dumbfounded by the shock!"H-how did this happen…" Ashwin's face was red. His chest constantly heaved, looking like he was about to spit out blood.He was always a proud and narcissistic person. He never regarded anyone else as worth his notice.Leon was even an orphan. After that, he was even complete trash with no one to go. Ashwin completely looked down on Leon!Yet, at that moment, the person he saw as an insignificant ant suddenly displayed unparalleled skill and talent!I
"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
