"I don't know…" Cynthia shook her head.Cynthia asked curiously, "Leon, didn't you go home just now? Why are you here?""Oh, when I was leaving the hotel, I saw that those two cars looked like they followed you, so I decided to follow along," Leon briefly explained."No wonder," Cynthia had a look of realization. After that, she quickly realized that the situation was urgent. It was not the time to talk to Leon. So, she said in a panic, "Leon, these people are very strong. They're all at the peak Acquired State!""I'll hold them back, you should run!" Cynthia walked in front of Leon.When Leon was with the Shears, she briefly exchanged blows with Leon and knew that he might be a martial artist.However, Leon did not use any true energy at all, so she thought that Leon's level was still too low. He was probably only at the initial or intermediate stage of the Acquired State, it was a far cry from her skills.She was no match for them, and Leon would not be useful either. It would
Of course, she planned for the worst as well. Even if she did not manage to subdue her opponent, as long as Leon managed to escape and contact Shears, their opponents probably would not dare to touch her!"Know your place!" The leader sneered as he punched Cynthia with incredible force, hitting Cynthia's attack!Boom!With an intense clash, the leader did not move at all.Instead, Cynthia was sent flying as she fell on the ground heavily."Ugh…" When she fell to the ground, Cynthia spat out a mouthful of blood."Intermediate… Innate State!" Cynthia was completely shocked, ignoring her wounds.When they clashed earlier, she felt that her opponent was not only at the Initial Innate State, but the Intermediate Innate State!That kind of skill would put him up there as a true expert among the younger generation in Springfield City1"Cynthia, a-are you alright?"Leon was shocked at the sight. He immediately avoided the attacks of the other four as he rushed right at Cynthia."I
What was even more hilarious was the fact that Leon kept saying that he would not abandon her. Yet, Leon suddenly ended up fleeing faster than a rabbit. Even four peak Acquired State Martial Artists could not catch up!It was quite obvious how she would feel!"You four idiots! You can't even catch up to a regular person! What's the point of having you around?!" The leader was furious. He did not feel any true energy in Leon at all, which meant that Leon was not a martial artist. The only possibility was that Leon ran faster than normal."It looks like I'lll have to do something!" The leader held back his anger as he leaped forward, immediately chasing after Leon.His skills were much stronger than his four subordinates. In just a flash, he quickly caught up."Brat, stay down!" The leader sneered as he lashed out in an unbelievably threatening manner, quickly attacking Leon."Ah!"Feeling the man's attack, Leon was shocked as he fell to the ground, luckily avoiding his opponent's
Leon used their distraction to launch a few attacks. Defeating the opponent in front with one punch before kicking him again. He smashed right through them.The two survivors realized they were in trouble and frantically retreated, narrowly avoiding Leon's attacks.The injured leader had already managed to force himself to stand up at that point. He knew they wouldn't be able to fight Leon any longer because the situation had already been decided.Leon's subordinates would be unable to defeat him due to his abilities, which already exceeded the initial Innate State."I'll remember you, brat! I'll make you pay me ten times over the next time! Let's go!" The leader glared angrily at Leon as he gave the order to retreat.The four top Acquired State martial artists then fled. Two of them assisted the severely injured leader, while the other two protected their backs. They then quickly fled the area.Leon intended to pursue them, but he was skeptical that he would be able to defeat th
"Friends? You're right, we're both friends!" Cynthia was stunned at first, but she smiled after that. Her smile was incredibly radiant and alluring.It was lonely at the top.Since the Shears had wealth and power, and Cynthia grew up as their treasured daughter with unrivaled looks, she never lacked people pursuing her, but she did not have many true friends. Even her friends were mostly aiming for the Shears' wealth.However, Leon was different. Leon's medical skills were amazing, and Leon cured her grandmother without asking for anything in return.Not only that, Leon put his life on the line to save her just now, not even willing to leave her behind to escape when he knew he could not win. He was an excellent character.She immediately accepted Leon as a friend!After that, she called her grandfather and told him about her being attacked.Benedict was furious when he heard that, and immediately sent a few of their family's experts over.They were both there to look at the
Gordon and his men had fearful looks on their faces as they hurriedly reported everything that happened."Who's that guy? Could it be one of the Shears' bodyguards?!" The man said coldly. He had a very vicious aura around him. It was completely different from how he acted earlier."That… I don't know…" Gordon said anxiously."What's his level at? Is he in the intermediate Innate State, or the advanced Innate State? Someone young who's as strong as he is shouldn't be anyone unknown!" The young man asked.He knew that Gordon was in the intermediate Innate State, and Gordon even had four subordinates who were in the advanced Acquired State.If their opponent was not at the intermediate Innate State or above, there was no way he could have defeated Gordon and his men."He's not, he's only at the initial Innate State, and is just a little away from intermediate," Gordon answered truthfully."What? The initial Innate State?!" The man was furious. He raised his hand and punched Gordon.
Leon was shocked to feel that the spiritual energy at the peak of the mountain was already almost completely drained.Thankfully, he did not need to train on Mistcloud Mountain, so it was fine even if the spiritual energy was drained.Furthermore, spiritual energy was not something that would not come back. In less than three months, the spiritual energy on the peak of Mistcloud Mountain would recover. Not using it was just a waste!After gathering the morning dew, Leon started to leave the mountain.Now that he dealt with the procurement of materials and the dew, the problems with production would be resolved as well.The most important part of those products were the dew.Leon planned on naming the morning dew spirit dew. He would be the sole person capable of producing them, just like how many food products had exclusive suppliers.That way, as long as he controlled the spirit dew, no other cosmetic companies would be able to try and mimic their products. That would ensure
If Ashwin found out that he overstepped and interfered with procurement as well, Ashwin would be furious!"What exactly do you want to say? Why are you being so hesitant?!" Iris looked at Leon strangely, not understanding what Leon tried to do."I wanted to say that the Shear Group is the biggest provider of herbal medicines in Springfield City. We should look to work with them. There's no need to work with Life Pharmacy…" Leon mustered up the courage to say.Even though he did not like Ashwin that much, he still felt bad that he kept on overstepping and taking away Ashwin's responsibilities.If Ashwin agreed to work with the Shear Group, he could just give Ashwin the contract he signed last night. Then, the contributions would be Ashwin's.Then, he would not have overstepped, and he would be able to give Cynthia an explanation."You sure are putting things lightly! Even though working with the Shear Group is the best choice, we're a cosmetic company, not a medical or pharmaceuti
