"What? I'm cured? Do my ears deceive me?" Chandler could not believe his ears! Although he was not at all familiar with medicine, one thing was clear—curing someone would certainly not be as easy as this! Judging by the severity of his condition, he was certain that he would at least need three to five months' rehabilitation to regain some function, if any at all, in his leg, even if he went to a large district hospital! However, Leon was claiming that he cured him entirely just based on a few pressure points treatment! This was unbelievable, to say the least! Chandler could not help feeling dubious at this, unsure of whether Leon was telling the truth or just trying to mess with him! "Yes, it's true! Elder Quinn, you can stand up and try to take a few steps," Leon explained. "Well, alright then! I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!" Chandler scoffed. He did not think it was possible that Leon could have cured him in just a few minutes! This was not possible
"How are you feeling now, Chandler? Have you gotten cured?" Henry was stunned by the sight of Chandler strutting around without his cane. He knew full well how severe Chandler's injury was; he got crippled during combat against the Scarlet Thief and had a minuscule if any at all, chance of recovering! He never once imagined that Leon would be able to cure Chandler with just a few minutes of pressure point treatment! He never saw such an impressive feat before, and he would never have believed it to be true if he did not witness it with his own two eyes! "Yes, more or less. Apart from some prickling sensation in my calf, everything seems to be fine," Chandler replied in excitement. He was grinning from ear to ear in sheer joy, a stark contrast from his hostility as displayed before. He finally realized that Leon told the truth and that he was truly capable of curing him entirely! However, he jumped to conclusions and underestimated this young man! "Elder Quinn, the pricklin
"I see!" Leon and Henry both gasped in realization when they understood Chandler's refusal to join them. Leon's tight expression began to relax when he discovered that Chandler had good reason to do so. "Don't worry, Elder Quinn. He's just the Scarlet Thief, and he's no match for me! I've already told you that if he dares to show his face, I'll do everything in my power to defeat him and avenge you and Elder Yates!" Leon declared, smiling. "Um," Chandler and Henry exchanged dubious glances. They were both aware of how powerful the Scarlet Thief was, and neither of them agreed that Leon would fare well during combat against him! Yet this young man was declaring over and over to them that he would do everything in his power to help them bring down the Scarlet Thief! Neither of them could understand where Leon got the confidence to make such a daring claim! "What an arrogant young man!" All of a sudden, a bloodcurdling cackle rang out from behind them. With that, a black
"Tsk, what nonsense! How dare two pieces of trash as you act so cockily toward me?" the Scarlet Thief scoffed and cast Henry and Chandler glances of disdain. He knew that both Henry and Chandler were only in the Advanced Power class, which meant that they only attained the Semi-Almighty State or the Initial Almighty State at most! He, on the other hand, was already at the Intermediate Almighty State, which was leaps and bounds ahead of them! "You! Don't speak too soon, Scarlet Thief! One of us will meet our death today, and I have a feeling it's going to be you!" Henry and Chandler snarled. With that, the two of them channeled their energies, intending to unleash their wrath on the Scarlet Thief and avenge their loved ones' deaths! "Wait!" all of a sudden, Leon stepped out, stopping them right in their tracks. Neither Henry nor Chandler could understand why Leon decided to stop them, but out of consideration that they both owed Leon one, they decided to obey Leon's comma
"You!" Leon balked when he saw the Scarlet Thief attacking without warning. He intended to question the Scarlet Thief further and find out how he managed to track them down so quickly, but he could not do so anymore! Leon quickly leaped backward, putting as much distance between himself and the Scarlet Thief as he could. "Trying to run? Not so fast!" the Scarlet Thief sneered and sped toward him, his silhouette darting as fast as whisps of smoke. "Don't you dare!" Henry and Chandler were both shocked by this. Then, without further ado, they unleashed their powers and sent powerful surges of energy toward the Scarlet Thief, intending to stop him from attacking Leon! "The Almighty State!" the Scarlet Thief was stunned when he sensed Henry and Chandler's auras. Knowing that the two of them were practicing power methods of the Advanced Power class, he thought they would be at the Semi-Almighty State at most! He never once imagined that his two enemies would have successfully brok
Seeing that they were about to be defeated, Henry turned and shouted to Leon through gritted teeth, "Mister Wolf, the Scarlet Thief is so powerful that not even Chandler and I combined can take him down! Please escape with Sherlyn!" He and the Scarlet Thief's vengeance went back to when the Scarlet Thief killed every last member of his family, sparing only him and Sherlyn. Even if he and Chandler could not survive again this time, he would not be afraid of dying, nor would he even think of retreating! He was ready to fight to his grave! However, Sherlyn was the only person he left in this world, and he hoped that Leon could help her escape before they fell victim to the Scarlet Thief! As long as Leon and Sherlyn got to safety, he would have no regrets and would not even hesitate to sacrifice his own life! Even if he died, he would do so in peace, knowing that Leon was able to look after his precious granddaughter! "Henry is right! President Wolf, Henry, and I can hold him off
"Enough playtime, Henry and Chandler! It's time to unleash your fury! Take it!" As a glint of malice flashed through his eyes, the scarlet thief scoffed. He wanted to punish this arrogant young man, but he was worried that his victim would flee before he could! As a result, he unleashed his newly acquired Platinum Martial Technique—the Fiery Serpent—without hesitation! A surge of powerful energy gushed from his hands, transforming into a fiery dragon before barreling straight at Henry and Chandler! "That's incredible!" When Henry and Chandler saw this, they both gasped. They were already at a disadvantage against the scarlet thief, and now that he had unleashed his Platinum Martial Technique, it was safe to say they were no match for him! They both leaped backward, trying to avoid the Scarlet Thief's attack while also unleashing their own attacks to weaken the Fiery Serpent's power! Fortunately, Henry was able to avoid the Fiery Serpent by a few inches. The last tendrils of t
"Rats!" the color drained from the Scarlet Thief's face when he sensed Leon charging toward him. He knew full well that if he did not retreat now, although he would be able to kill Chandler right on the spot, he would also highly likely fall into Leon's trap. It was not worth making this shot just to wind up hurt in someone else's hands! Therefore, the Scarlet Thief had no choice but to give up trying to attack Chandler and instead turned to swipe Leon's needles out of the way. With that, he leaped into the air, nimbly dodging Leon's attack from the back, and placed a safe distance in between him and his other three opponents for fear that Henry, like Leon, would try to ambush him from the back as well. Seizing the opportunity to escape, Chandler got up from the ground, stifling the excruciating pain in his chest, and picked up his cane. "Are you okay, Elder Quinn?" Instead of chasing after the Scarlet Thief, Leon turned his attention to Chandler in concern. "I'm fine. I
