"Kid, who are you? You claim that you aren't the culprit, so how did my grandson get killed and why are you here?" Roman suppressed the sorrow and rage within him and stared sharply at Leon, intending to determine if Leon was telling the truth. "You must be Elder Feaks. I am Hugh Wolf. I made a deal with Mister Jaxon to meet him here today. He was supposed to take me to you..." Leon explained. "So you are the vice president of Cynthion Group. If you weren't the one who killed Jaxon, who did?" Roman asked. He knew about the deal between Leon and Jaxon and was starting to believe him. However, since Leon was the only person in the scene, he could not simply trust Leon over a few words. Before they could find the actual culprit, Leon was still the biggest suspect. "I don't know... By the time I arrived, Mister Jaxon and the guards were already in this state, so I don't know who did this..." Leon shook his head and answered honestly. "You don't know? What a joke! You are defi
"Yeah, he is right!" "The effect of the Sun Pills may have been a lie!" ... The two elders behind Roman nodded in agreement as they did not believe in what Leon promised as well. Upon seeing what happened to Jaxon and the guards, their doubts simply intensified. Naturally, there was a chance that someone else committed this crime. However, most of the guests from the bouquet last night were all from prestigious families. Hence, there was no way that they could risk committing murder and enraging the Dragon Corps just to obtain the Rainbow Flower. Leon, on the other hand, was different. They did not know much about Leon but knew that he was an outsider with no family in the western region. Hence, he may not fear the Dragon Corps. There was a chance that the Sun Pills were just a scam and Leon was the only person alive at the crime scene, which provided enough evidence to make him the suspect and they could not think of anyone else who would do such a thing. "What a loa
"He must have a death wish!" Roman and the elders looked at Leon in contempt when Leon faced Romeo directly. Like Romeo, they all failed to detect any true energy from Leon and could not tell which level he was in. However, they could easily guess from his age that he was likely below the Emperor State. As the leader of the second generation of the Feaks, Romeo had long reached the Intermediate Emperor State. Though this was not that big an accomplishment amongst those his age, but no one in the younger generation could beat him apart from Hugo and Felton. A nobody like Leon could not possibly survive and they did not think Leon could defeat Romeo. Hence, they all stood behind and did not attempt to help Romeo as there was no need for that. The reality was cruel, however, and what happened next shook them to their cores. Baam! Following a deafening sound, Leon's attack and Romeo's attack clashed. Leon's spiritual energy instantly tore through Romeo's defense and sent hi
"Romeo, this kid is too strong. You can defeat him. Come back and let me deal with him!" Roman said coldly and strode out. Upon witnessing Leon's true strength, he became more certain that Leon was the culprit as well. In terms of motive and capability, Leon remained to be the top suspect. "Elder Feaks, I'll repeat this one last time. I'm not the culprit! If I did this, I would have left a long time ago. Why would I stick around?" Leon said in frustration. He was rather angry that the Feaks refused to see reasons and falsely accused him of a crime he did not commit. Still, it was just a misunderstanding so he suppressed his anger and continued to explain himself. "Well..." Roman was instantly rendered speechless as he suddenly realized Leon was right. If he was truly the culprit, he would have fled a long time ago instead of waiting for others to catch him in the act. "Don't try to cover up your crime! I saw you crouching next to Jaxon when we came in. You were probably s
"It's true, but Mister Jaxon is severely injured and I have to treat him immediately without further delay." Leon nodded. "Great! Hang Jaxon over and we will take him to the nearest hospital!" The Feaks snapped out of it and were all overjoyed. Since Jaxon was in a critical situation, they intended to send Jaxon to the hospital immediately and could not be bothered to consider if Leon was the culprit. "Kid, since you said you aren't responsible for this, you are coming to the hospital with us! Once Jaxon gets better or wakes up, we will let you go once we confirm that you are not the culprit!" Roman added and turned his sharp gaze at Leon. He knew that Jaxon might be alive, but that did not mean Leon was not the person who attacked him. So long as Leon remained the suspect, he could not let him go. Hence, Roman intended to take Leon to the hospital and once Jaxon regained consciousness, they would find out if Leon was responsible. "No! Mister Jaxon is severely injured and t
"Nonsense! We are Jaxon's family and we won't ever harm him. You, on the other hand, keep stopping us from sending him to the hospital. What exactly are you plotting?" Romeo roared. Like Roman, he also did not believe in Leon's skill and since he firmly believed Leon to be the culprit, there was no way he would hand Jaxon over to Leon. "Yeah!" "Kid, if you want to prove your innocence, follow us to the hospital. Don't stop us from sending Jaxon to help!" "Once the doctor cures Jaxon, he will tell us the truth!" ... The two elders agreed along. Seeing how stubborn they were, Leon was furious. "Why you..." They first falsely accused him of killing Jaxon and the guards, and now, they were preventing him from treating Jaxon. Though Leon was often quite tolerant, he was starting to lose patience. For a moment, he even thought of handing Jaxon over to the Feaks and let them reap what they sow. However, he knew he could not do such a thing. Jaxon's survival was the pri
"Elder Feaks, just remember that you asked for this. Since you refuse to see reason, don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Leon narrowed his eyes coldly and took a step forward to launch the Earthly Plunder. A powerful stream of energy gathered around his finger and was sent toward Roman. "How arrogant. Know your place, kid!" Roman laughed angrily. Based on the fight between Romeo and Leon, Roman could tell that Leon was merely in the Advanced Emperor State. Though that might be too powerful for Romeo to handle, Leon could not rival Roman in terms of power. As the leader of the Feaks, Roman had long reached the Semi-Almighty State and was even close to reaching the Almighty State. Leon, who was still in the Emperor State, could not dream of comparing to him. However, Leon arrogantly tried to face him head-on. Considering how Leon was stopping them from rushing Jaxon to the hospital, he assumed that Leon was up to no good and did not intend to show mercy. With this t
"Take this!" Leon extended another hand and launched yet another Earthly Plunder at the speed of lightning. "What? That's impossible!" Roman was stunned when he sensed Leon's attack. He initially thought he could easily defeat Leon with a single blow and did not hold back at all. To his bewilderment, his attack did not hurt Leon at all. Not only did Leon fend it off, but he also took the chance to counter. This had completely caught Roman by surprise. He wanted to dodge, but was still in the momentum of his initial attack. At the very last moment, he gathered the remaining true energy within him and backed away from Leon's Earthly Plunder with his superior speed. "Running so soon? You won't get away!" Leon scoffed and saw right through Roman's intention. He took a huge step forward and launched the Phantom Steps. His attack got closer to Roman as he charged forward at a godly speed. No matter how hard Roman tried, he simply could not get away from Leon. "Damn it!" Rom
