"Joel, it's you!" Yonas frowned at Joel's sudden appearance.After what happened at Cynthion Group's sales drive, he knew that the Hiltons were enemies of Leon!However, Leon embarrassed him in public at the sales drive, so he did not like Leon that much!Even if the Hiltons were not friendly with Leon, it had nothing to do with him!So he did not care!"Mister Thompson, I just got myself a private room for a few drinks! Things are far better with the company! Since we bumped into each other, why don't you have a few drinks with me? Let's have some fun. What do you think?" Joel invite.d"That-"Yonas was a bit hesitant.The Hiltons were one of the major families within the southern region, just like the Thompsons!Even though the two families were not that close to each other, they did not have any conflicts with each other either!Other than that, he saw Joel a few times before. They were quite familiar with each other!So, there was no reason for him to feel like Joel's in
"No! My uncle has already guessed that this is probably a plot by the Southern Boss! He's not planning on sending Roanne back at all," Yonas shook his head and said.He was not planning on revealing the matter to Joel at all, but he already had a few drinks, so he was getting loose-lipped.On top of that, Joel deliberately invited him and treated him well, so he had good feelings for Joel!So, he let a few things slip."So that was the case."Joel could not help but sneer when he heard that.When the Southern Boss suggested spreading the rumors, he felt that the plan was not reliable!After all, the Thompsons were not idiots. They might not fall for it!Sure enough, the Southern Boss' plans were foiled by Angus!However, he still had some backups. Even if the Southern Boss' plan failed, it was no big deal!"Mister Hiltons, what did you say just now?" Yonas did not catch what Joel said to himself, so he looked at Joel curiously."Oh, it's nothing. Mister Thompson, forgive me
"What's going on? What happened?" Yonas asked curiously.I don't know, but let's go take a look," Joel said while shaking his head.He said he did not know, but Joel knew that it was probably Rodney's plan already in action!"Yes, alright!" Yonas answered with some hesitation. After that, the two of them walked out together.Not far from the room, Rodney and a few of his men were surrounding a beautiful young woman who had a uniform on!That woman looked around twenty thtwenty-three age, and was incredibly beautiful. She looked better than some of the models inside!Just in terms of her looks, she fell behind Iris, Roanne, and the others, but was an incredibly rare beauty!On top of that, she had an amazing figure as well. She had a shirt skirt and a uniform on, that accentuated her figure greatly!On top of that, she had an aura about her that was pure and cute!She had a unique allure to her that was enough to attract any man!Yonas and Joel only glanced at her once before
"You-""Rodney, you better not be too arrogant!" Joel was taken aback by Rodney's threats!"Sir, please save me!"The young woman was very excited when she saw that someone was trying to help her. After that, she took advantage of Rodney being distracted as she hurriedly escaped from Rodney, running over to Joel."That!"Joel looked hesitant as if he was worried about Rodney. However, he could not help but shoot Yonas a look.It was obvious that this was a trap set by him and Rodney. The goal was obviously Yonas!Sure enough, Yonas was not on guard at all. He immediately stepped forward."Pretty girl, don't worry! I'm here. I won't let Rodney harm you at all!" Yonas said coldly.The Thompsons were the head of the major families in the southern region, they were also a righteous family!As the son of the second line of direct descendants, he had a sense of justice in his heart!Furthermore, the Thompsons never had a good relationship with the Southern Boss. On top of that, th
"Rodney, if it's just you, I'm more than enough! Why would Mister Hiltons need to work with me?!" Rodney said proudly.If it was before, he would not have dared to go against Rodney!However, after he obtained the Supreme Pure Energy Pill and the Cleansing Pill, he already broke through to the intermediate Emperor State!Rodney was only at the initial Emperor state, and was still a little away from the intermediate Emperor State!That was something everyone in the younger generation of the southern region knew!There was no way he would be afraid of Rodney!On the other hand, everyone knew of how Yuri was incredibly talented and powerful, but no one knew of Yonas' abilities!That was always been something he was hung up on!However, the chance was here!As long as he was able to show off and defeat Rodney in public, he would not just be able to save a beauty, he would bolster his reputation as well/It was perfect!"What?"Hearing that, Rodney and Joel were both shocked, no
"Intermediate Emperor State? H-how is this possible?!"Rodney was shocked when he felt the true energy coming from Yonas. He could not believe his eyes!Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked, Joel and the others were too!They never would have dreamed that someone was already at the Emperor State amongst the younger generation outside of Yuri and Rodney, and he was already at the intermediate Emperor State!It was really hard to believe!It was obvious how shocked all of them were!"Not good."When Rodney recovered from the shock, he did not dare to delay things for a moment as he hurriedly dodged, trying to avoid Yonas' attack.Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. On top of that, Yonas was stronger and faster than him!No matter how he tried, he failed to completely avoid Yonas' attack, and he was struck in the chest!Rodney grunted and staggered back a few steps before he regained his footing.Right after that, he felt blood surge up his chest, and a s
"There's no need! Yonas, I'll give you the win this time! I'll remember this. I'll make sure to pay you back for this!" Rodney said coldly.He wanted to retreat anyway. With Yonas suddenly showing up and defeating him, it suited him just fine!So, he did not bother continuing to fight Yonas. He called out to his subordinates and left the place!"That's amazing! Mister Thompson, I can't believe you chased Rodney away. You're so strong!" Joel immediately said as he looked at Rodney's retreating.After that, he quickly started to shower Yonas with praise, taking the chance to boost up Yonas' ego!It would make his and Rodney's plans go much easier!"That's right!""Mister Thompson, you're so heroic by stepping up to defend the weak. You are a role model to us all."All the other rich scions around them started to cheer for Yonas as well, being swept up by Joel.Of course, they were quite sincere in their praise!Rodney was the son of the Southern Boss, and from the underworld as
Yonas was incredibly happy to hear that Fiona agreed to Jel's invitation!Fiona was young and gorgeous, so he wanted to get closer to her!With Joel inviting her over, it was just what he wanted. He started to like Joel even more!After that, the crowd dispersed, and the three of them entered the room.Other than that, to make the plan easier, Joel dismissed the models inside.Very quickly, only he, Yonas, and Fiona were in the room!Right after that, the three of them sat down."Mister Thompson, you saved me this time. I don't know how to thank you. How about this, let me give you a toast to thank you for your help," Fiona was very quick to pour Yonas a drink and hand it to him."Alright, that's good enough!" Yonas smiled.All the praise he got earlier, already satisfied his ego like it never was before!With a beautiful girl like Fiona by his side serving him his drinks, his mood soared to the limits!So, he did not bother thinking about it as he finished the whole glass!
"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
