"Alright! Hugh, Ariella, let's go home!" Renee said with a smile. "Sure! Jacob, let's go!" Ariella nodded and called out to Jacob, who was behind them. "Oh," Jacob, who remained silent the entire time, snapped out of it. He walked over and accidentally met Leon's cold gaze. Feeling a chill down his spine, he panicked and stopped. "Jacob, what's wrong?" Ariella asked in confusion. "N- Nothing," Jacob mumbled and looked away, not daring to meet Leon's eyes. Since Leon was merely the vice president of Cynthion Group, Jacob looked down on him the entire time. Out of jealousy, he kept mocking Leon and even hoped that Leon would embarrass himself. Upon witnessing Leon's strength, he realized how foolish he was. The community of martial artists valued strength above all and the power Leon displayed intimidated him. He could not help but fear Leon and dared not to get any closer. At the same time, he was worried that Leon would pick on him. "Mister Wolf, Jacob has been quit
After getting injured by Leon and having his family destroyed, the Southern Boss knew he could not stay in the Southern region any longer. Hence, he went to the Western Boss. The Western Boss was an influential figure who knew the Southern Boss for some time. Since the Southern Boss was a martial artist in the Advanced Almighty State, the Western Boss felt that he could use formidable martial artists and agreed to take him in. Ever since then, the Southern Boss recovered under the Western Boss's protection. Whenever they were free, they would discuss their knowledge of martial arts and what was happening in the southern and western regions. Through these conversations, both of them benefited greatly. Naturally, the Southern Boss only went to the Western Boss to seek refuge. On top of that, he wanted to use the Western Boss's power to go against Leon and the Thompsons in the hope of rescuing his son. However, his injuries were severe and he could not recover any time soon.
"No! Hugh isn't from the western region. He is the vice president of Cynthion Group from the southern region," Felton explained. Just as he was about to explain what happened, the Southern Boss interrupted him. "What? Cynthion Group?" Shocked, the Southern Boss slammed his palm against the table and stood. "Southern Boss, what's going on? Do you know this Cynthion Group?" The Western Boss was confused by his reaction. When the Southern Boss sought refuge with him, he was told that the Spears fell. However, he merely heard that it was caused by the Thompsons and a man named Leon. The Southern Boss did not tell him much about Cynthion Group, so it was only natural that he knew nothing of it. "Of course, I do! That's a new-rising company in the southern region. The chairman Leon Wolf is an annoying brat! He worked with the Thompsons and injured me. The downfall of the Spears is caused by him as well," the Southern Boss said coldly. Resentment filled his eyes as he spoke of L
"What!" The Western Boss was utterly stunned. There were no shortcuts to training as martial artists. To his surprise, Cynthion Group produced pills that could enhance martial artists' power and even get them past multiple barriers. This completely contradicted what he knew and he would never believed it if he did not hear this from his son. "I didn't expect these alchemical pills to work so well. I suppose I've underestimated them!" The Western Boss narrowed his eyes and gasped. With his experience, he could tell that the alchemical pills that could help martial artists past the bottleneck of their training had great potential. Whoever had control over the supply would control most of the martial artists. Instantly, he realized he underestimated Cynthion Group. "Felton, you just said that someone from Cynthion Group injured you. What happened?" The Southern Boss changed the subject, his expression cautious. He knew that Cynthion Group was based in the southern region and
"Yeah! Hugh is stronger than me and likely in the Advanced Emperor State!" Felton said. Based on Leon's speed and explosive power, he could tell that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State. Strangely, Leon displayed speed at the Semi-Almighty State when he was chasing Felton. It was already surreal that Leon managed to reach the Advanced Emperor State at such a young age, so Felton refused to believe that he would reach the Semi-Almighty State. He assumed that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State and only increased his speed with some sort of tricks, as this was the only possible explanation. "The Advanced Emperor State? I didn't expect someone to reach such a level amongst the younger generation from the southern region. And he is just a vice president. It seems like there is a lot more to Cynthion Group," the Western Boss said. The western region was abundant with rare herbs that could help martial artists with their training. With the aid of these herbs, the younger mart
"What?" "Hugh is Leon?" Both the Western Boss and Felton were shocked. "Yeah! I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure about this!" The Southern Boss nodded. He knew that only Leon surpassed the Advanced Emperor State amongst the younger martial artists in the southern region. Leon was the only one who had the power to defeat Felton, who was in the Intermediate Emperor State. Hence, he had to be using Hugh as a fake name. Still, this was just a speculation and he could not be certain when he did not meet Hugh in person. "I see!" Realization dawned on Felton. He was baffled that a mere vice president could pay over 200 million on herbs without hesitation. If Hugh was Leon, it would all make sense. Considering Cynthion Group's influence, it would not be hard for Leon to pull out such a large amount of money. On top of that, there were plenty of alchemical pills in Cynthion Group, with some even capable of getting martial artists past multiple barriers of their traini
"Southern Boss, what's wrong with you? Leon is just in the Advanced Emperor State, so why are you so scared of him?" The Western Boss was shocked. He knew that the Southern Boss had long reached the Advanced Almighty State and his strength was almost unrivalled in the western and southern regions. Leon, on the other hand, was merely in the Advanced Emperor State according to Felton, which was miles away from the power level the Southern Boss was in. The Southern Boss was once a powerful figure, yet appeared to fear Leon and this baffled the Western Boss. "Just? Western Boss, you are underestimating Leon. He may only be in the Advanced Emperor State, he has many tricks up his sleeves and he is far more formidable than you imagine. No one can defeat him..." the Southern Boss said in fear. All the tricks Leon pulled when he fought the Southern Boss had deeply traumatized the Southern Boss and he could not help feeling scared even just from recalling what happened. "He is just
"Western Boss, that kid is formidable. If you run into him, I would advise caution..." the Southern Boss decided to hint, instead of describing Leon's strength in the end. "Ha! I've seen what he could do. He is just quite swift. That's not a big deal!" Felton said. He witnessed how Leon's speed could increase to the level of the Semi-Almighty State within the matter of seconds, and he assumed this was what the Southern Boss was referring to. However, Leon was merely in the Advanced Emperor State and there was no point for him to increase his speed. There were countless martial artists in the Semi-Almighty and Almighty States amongst the Fermers. Anyone could easily destroy Leon and Leon's tricks should not matter much. Hence, Felton did not see Leon as a threat. "Felton is right! Leon is just a boy and not a threat. Southern Boss, you are worrying over nothing!" The Western Boss did not take the Southern Boss's warning seriously as well. "Maybe..." The Southern Boss shook
