"How could this happen?" Contrary to Renee and Ariella's reaction, Joshua was utterly stunned. He already learned from Renee that Leon was just the company's vice president. With such a low status, he could not understand how Leon managed to gather such a large amount of money. It was unbelievable and he would have never believed it to be real if he did not see it himself. "Damn it! How did that kid do this?" Felton clenched his fists, his expression darkened. He was just imagining how he could teach Leon a lesson once he failed to pay 287 million. To his surprise, he was wrong. Thinking back to how he mocked Leon and discussed with others how they would teach Leon a lesson, he felt like a fool. Instantly, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could hide. Naturally, he was not the only one. The others were all ashamed of their arrogance and mockery. "Mister Fermer, didn't you question if I can afford these herbs? I've already paid. What else do you have to say?" Leo
"Kid, you can't buy all the herbs!" Felton was the first to snap out of it and stood forward. He was in the Intermediate Emperor State and rivaled Hugo in terms of strength. He came here to purchase herbs that matched his physique to boost his training in the hope that he could surpass Hugo soon. He was a few years younger than Hugo and if he managed to surpass Hugo, he could become the brightest talent in his generation. This was his dream for as long as he could remember. However, Leon bought all three spiritual herbs and he could not accept this. "That's right!" "Kid, we are all here to purchase herbs!" "Ya, what are we going to do if you buy them all?" ... The others chimed in, all reluctant to let Leon buy all the herbs. "What a joke! You were the ones who doubted if I had the money to buy all the herbs. Now that I've paid, you won't let me take the herbs away? Don't you think you are out of line?" Leon questioned with a dark expression. "Well," The others we
"Very well. You asked for this. Since you don't know your place, don't blame me for this!" Felton was enraged by Leon's contemptuous attitude. Not wanting to waste his time, he raised his arm and prepared to fight Leon. "Hang on!" "Wait!" ... Just then, two different voices rose. One belonged to Renee, who took a step forward and stood before Leon to prevent Felton from harming him. The other came from Mister Daglesh, who stepped out of the crowd. "Jensen, you again! What's the meaning of this? Are you going to side with this kid again?" Felton's cold gaze landed on Mister Daglesh. Renee was supposed to be Leon's girlfriend, so it was normal that she would protect him. However, Jensen was not related to Leon in any way. However, he kept opposing Felton and stopping him from harming Leon. Felton was enraged, thinking that Jensen underestimated him. "Mister Fermer, I have no intention of being your enemy. I just need to discuss something with Mister Wolf," Jensen sa
"Why not? Mister Wolf, these fifteen types of herbs all have different effects. If you want to enhance your power, not all of them will work for you. If you could sell me one of the herbs, I'll owe you one and help you whenever you are in need," Jensen said. Though he did not know why Leon needed so many herbs, he knew that Leon should only need one or two herbs if he needed to enhance his power or promote his health. It seemed like a small favor for Leon to sell him one of the herbs. The others were already displeased that Leon bought all the herbs. However, they were all from honorable families. On top of that, Leon was Renee's boyfriend so they would not dare to harm Leon. However, Felton was different. He was a member of the underground society and always got his way. He already took the opportunity and attempted to take the herbs away by force. It seemed impossible for a mere vice president to rival Felton, who had high status and power in the Intermediate Emperor Stat
"What? Miss Morrison, did you just say that these alchemical pills can help martial artists with training? Is that true?" Jensen was shocked and realized why Leon needed so many herbs. It seemed like the Cynthion Group needed the herbs to produce alchemical pills for martial artists. This was unheard of and he was shaken to the core. Naturally, so were the others. They all exchanged stunned looks as they tried to figure out if Renee was telling the truth. "It's true! I heard from my brother that the Energy Nurturing Pills can enhance martial artists' power and increase the probability of getting a breakthrough. I've taken it a few times and they work great. It's far better than just taking the herbs raw." Renee nodded. Though she did not know much about Cynthion Group, she once heard about the Energy Nurturing Pills' effect from Hugo. On another note, Hugo once purchased two hundred Energy Nurturing Pills and gave a dozen to her. She took them and though she did not know
"Yeah, Mister Daglesh is right! Miss Morrison, these pills aren't magical. How can these help martial artists past the bottleneck in their training?" "You must be exaggerating." ... The others agreed with Jensen. Like Jensen, none of them believed that Cynthion Group's alchemical pills could work such wonder. Since Leon was Renee's 'boyfriend,' they assumed that Renee was exaggerating to protect Leon. They could not think of any other sensible explanation. "I'm not messing around or exaggerating anything! I'll tell the truth!" Renee, who was always prideful, could not stand being questioned by so many people. An idea formed in her mind and she turned to Leon. "Hugh, you're the vice president of Cynthion Group. I'm sure you have some alchemical pills on you, right? Since Mister Daglesh and the others don't believe you, why don't you give them a few Energy Nurturing Pills to show them?" Before Leon could respond, Jensen chuckled and turned to Leon as well. "Sure! I can'
"I-" Jensen opened his mouth to answer, but the energy from the Energy Nurturing Pill rushed toward his energy core at this very moment. Knowing better than to get distracted, he immediately sat on the ground and began meditating to absorb the energy, seizing the opportunity to enhance his power. "Mister Daglesh, what's going on?" "Hey, say something!" ... Everyone was shocked and exchanged confused looks as they wondered why Jensen started meditating all of a sudden. This was strange, to say the least. "Don't rush him! Mister Daglesh is absorbing the energy from the Energy Nurturing Pill. We just need to give him some time!" Leon explained calmly. "Is that so?" "Does that mean that the Energy Nurturing Pills work?" The others remained doubtful. Then, they recalled how rare herbs could help enhance martial artists' power. Since the alchemical pills were made from rare herbs, it seemed normal for there to be certain effects. Still, it remained questionable if the a
Baam! Jensen jolted and his power increased as he ascended to the Initial Emperor State. "Huh, what's going on?" "Mister Daglesh's supposed to be in the Semi-Emperor State. Why is he getting to the Emperor State all of a sudden?" Everyone around him was shaken. When they sensed Jensen's energy spiraling out of control, they assumed that something was wrong with Leon's alchemical pills which caused Jensen to lose control of his energy. However, once they saw that Jensen had a breakthrough, they realized that his energy acted out because he was about to get to the next power level. This meant that they wrongfully blamed Leon and they instantly quieted down, ceasing their confrontation with Leon. "Great! I've finally gotten to the next level! The odds are on my side!" Jensen was thrilled and burst out laughing. He came to this bouquet specifically to obtain a spiritual herb to help with his training. Though he did not obtain any spiritual herb, he managed to reach the Em
