"Everyone, I'm sorry, but Cynthion Group is just starting to expand so we haven't had the time to establish our branch here! Therefore, I can't give you the exact date or time when the sales drive will take place. Don't worry. Once everything is prepared, I'll update everyone three days ahead and invite you all to participate," Leon explained and smiled apologetically. "I see. That means we'll have to wait for a long while," Everyone was disappointed. They all thought that there would be a sales drive in the western region soon and did not mind waiting a few days. To their bewilderment, Cynthion Group did not even establish a branch, not to mention hosting a sales drive. Even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least another two weeks or more before Cynthion Group completed all preparations. This was not what they wanted, but it was better than nothing. Since preparation was not in place for the moment, there was no point for them to urge Leon and they could only wa
"So Cynthion Group is already working with the Morrisons!" ... Everyone paused for a moment and recalled that Leon was Renee's 'boyfriend.' With that considered, the Cynthion Group would prioritize working with the Morrisons if they wished to expand. Instantly, they were all rendered helpless and disappointed. "Well, not really. Cynthion Group has not confirmed a partnership with the Morrisons," Leon said hesitantly. The discussion with the Morrisons was cut short because they could not reach a consensus for the profit division. Hugo promised to try his best and convince the others, but Caleb and the other elders were stubborn. On top of that, Jayden seemed determined to interfere so there was no telling whether Caleb would choose to compromise in the end. On the other hand, the guests in this bouquet witnessed the power of the alchemical pills with their own eyes and were all desperate to work with him. Amongst them, there were a few like Jensen who came from powerfu
"Everyone, thank you for your appreciation! As for the collaboration, we're currently in negotiation with the Morrisons. If a consensus cannot be reached, we'll surely select one of you to work with," Leon said thoughtfully. Upon his earlier discussion with Caleb and the elders, they all acted arrogantly and left a horrible impression. However, out of respect for Hugo and Renee, Leon decided to give the Morrisons a few more days to consider. If they continued to refuse his proposal for the division of profit, he would give up on working with them and choose another family to work with. "Hugh, thank you," Renee sighed a breath of relief and shot him a grateful look. She knew that there were plenty of influential families apart from the Morrisons in the western region and Cynthion Group could have worked with any of these families. However, Leon rejected the others and was willing to give the Morrisons another chance to honor his promise to Hugo. This was extremely generous of
Just as Leon, Renee, and Jensen were about to leave, Jaxon called out, "Please wait! Mister Wolf." "Mister Feaks, is there anything else you need?" Leon turned around to look at him in confusion. "Oh, here's the thing, Mister Wolf, you possess so many powerful alchemical pills and I assume that means you know a lot about herbs, right? I have an extremely rare herb with me here and I can't identify it. I'd like your help in doing so," Jaxon explained. The Feaks were experts in medicine and they had their team of hunters for herbs, responsible for gathering rare herbs. One of the hunters tracked and found an extremely rare herb somewhere deep in the mountain. However, neither Jaxon's grandfather nor other elders in the family could tell what the herb was. Jaxon held this bouquet to sell some of the rare herbs he possessed, but also to gather a crowd and seek help to identify the herb. Upon witnessing what Leon's alchemical pills could do, he realized that Leon should know a
"Great! The Feaks found a supreme spiritual herb!" "This trip is worth it after all!" ... Everyone was thrilled when they knew that the herb could be a supreme spiritual herb. With excited looks in their eyes, they started cheering. A supreme spiritual herb was different from ordinary spiritual herbs. Though normal spiritual herbs worked wonders, they were often only effective on the martial artists below fifty. Most formidable martial artists who reached the Almighty State had no use for ordinary spiritual herbs. However, a supreme spiritual herb was different. It had a few times the effect of ordinary spiritual herbs and when used correctly, it could aid a martial artist in the Almighty State in a breakthrough. Hence, both Alfred and the Poisonwielder wanted to use a supreme spiritual herb to enhance their power. This was proof of how powerful the herb was. The guests in the bouquet were all too weak and it would be a waste to use a supreme spiritual herb. However
"I didn't expect a Rainbow Flower to be found here in the western region. How amazing?" Leon snapped out of it and felt extremely excited. There were a great variety of herbs and each had its effects. The Rainbow Flower was the best of all heavenly herbs and its effect was far better than supreme spiritual herbs. It was hardly an exaggeration that it was so rare that one may not find one in decades. Never in Leon's wildest dream, he would come across a Rainbow Flower in a small bouquet. For a moment, he could not contain his excitement. "Rainbow Flower?" "What's that?" ... The others were all confused and exchanged baffled looks. Since they were not experts in herbs and the Rainbow Flower was far too rare, they never heard of it and did not know what it was. "I remember now! Do you mean the legendary Rainbow Flower, the heavenly herb?" Contrary to others' reaction, Jaxon looked shocked. As a member of the Feaks, he knew a lot about herbs. Though he never saw the R
"Mister Feaks, are you selling this Rainbow Flower? If so, I'm willing to pay 287 million for it! What do you think?" Leon snapped out of it and took the initiative to attempt a purchase. "What?" "Another 287 million?" "Cynthion Group must be incredibly wealthy!" ... The others were shocked. Leon just spent 287 million for fifteen herbs and now, Leon was going to pay another 287 million for the heavenly herb. Leon's generosity shook them. Those who initially planned to purchase the Rainbow Flower all felt their hearts sinking. 287 million was not a small amount and went far beyond what they could afford. Apart from Jensen and Felton who came from powerful families, the others could not move such a big amount from their family fortune. Hence, they were left to give up on purchasing the Rainbow Flower. "I'll pay 360 million!" Felton's voice rose, his eyes bright. Though 360 million was a rather big amount even for him, he could afford it as the son of the Wester
"I'll pay 510 million!" Leon frowned with resignation. Though he was the one who first proposed to purchase the Rainbow Flower, it was far too rare, and Felton and Jensen made it into an auction. Hence, he could only raise the price in the hope that they would give up as he did not have any other option. "I'll pay 574 million!" Felton did not back away and scoffed. He shared Leon's thoughts and wanted to raise the price so that others would give up. "Damn!" Jensen and the others' expressions darkened. Though they were all from families with a total worth of billions, most of their family fortunes were not liquid funds and none of them could move 574 million with ease. On top of that, both Leon and Felton seemed determined to obtain the Rainbow Flower. Felton was the son of the Western Boss and was far superior in terms of financial capability and power. The same applied to Leon, who first paid 287 million for fifteen rare herbs and proposed to purchase the Rainbow Flo
"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
