Cynthia realized that she overthought things.

After all, Leon was just an orphan. He did not have much of a background.

Furthermore, Cynthia was the jewel of the Shears. She's not just immensely beautiful, but rich and powerful as well. She had so many men after her, so how could she have her eyes on the ordinary Leon?!

"Janice, what are you working as right now?" Leon asked, wanting to know more about Janice.

"Oh, I went into a big company after I graduated. I got quite lucky, and I'm already a department manager. I make a few thousand a month."

Janice was a bit pleased with herself. After that, she remembered Leon's situation, and she said, "Leon, I remember you mentioning that you're a presidential secretary at a cosmetic company."

"That position isn't too bad, but a secretary still usually handles errands in the end. It's mostly a woman's job, and there's not much power for you, nor will you have much of a future. It's not a good long-term plan."

Saying that, Janice paused f

    "I'll pay by card!" Leon did not care and gave the waitress his card.There was still more than ten million in that account, so five hundred was nothing to him.Looking at the card in Leon's hand, the waitress was shocked.Anyone who could eat at a high-end restaurant like this was usually someone rich. Quite a few of those rich heirs would use cards from Rivercity Bank.Even though she could not recognize the Supreme Card, she still knew the significance of Rivercity Bank! Suddenly, she was incredibly shocked. She could not stop herself from being thankful that she maintained a polite attitude. If she said anything offensive, she would probably lose her job!"Leon, you're not in that great of a financial position. You'll need your money for many things in the future. Let me pay for this!" Janice hurriedly took the card back and passed it to Leon. After that, she took out the phone and asked to transfer the money."No need, I'm treating you this time. How could I make you pay?

    "Janice, traffic's quite bad in the city. It's not easy to find any parking, so a bike's more convenient. You can leave your car here for now. Once we're done shopping, you can come back to get it," Leon knew that Janice drove over. It was much less convenient than his bike."Oh, alright," Janice nodded. After that, Leon brought her away.…Fuller Mall was a shopping mall that was close to the restaurant. After Leon parked his bike, he walked into the mall with Janice.Both of them shopped around.Seeing a large clothing brand, Jancie pulled Leon inside.The shop was not a big international brand, but it was still well-known within the country. It was a mid- to high-end brand.It was a very large place, split into both the men's wear area and the women's wear area.Janice dragged Leon into the men's wear area."Janice, didn't you want to buy some clothes? You should go to the women's wear area, why did you bring me here?" Leon was curious."I wanted to see if there was anyt

    "Leon, fashion always comes and goes, and soon, this will be out of style before you know it. Let's just buy one set. There's no need to buy so many, is there?" Janice said, forcing out a smile. "That's okay. I need some new additions to my wardrobe too, so why not buy a few more while we're at it?" Leon said nonchalantly. "But..." Janice faltered at this. She wanted to change Leon's mind, but before she could say anything, Leon interjected, "No buts! Miss, can you help me pack these up and put them on my tab?" "Yes, sir." The salesgirl was overjoyed at this. This was her first time encountering a customer as generous as this one, and she quickly realized that this man was probably a billionaire. Upon realizing this, her attitude changed entirely, and she plastered a wide grin on her face. Then, as though afraid that Leon would change his mind at the next second, she disappeared to the counter with the clothes he ordered. Janice was utterly stunned by this sight. Now that

    "But…" Janice could not think of any reason to reject the salesgirl's offer. "Come on. Let's go take a look." Leon took her hand and dragged her toward the women's department. Seeing that there was no prying her way out of this, Janice sighed and relented. After all, she was already here; it would not hurt anyone to try on a few pieces. Even if they turned out to be out of her budget, she could always choose not to buy them. Janice walked into the women's department with this thought. "Miss, these skirts and dresses are the newest additions to our store; I'm sure that the elegant design would look amazing on you, so feel free to try a few of them out…" the salesgirl chirruped, pointing at the row of sleek dresses in front of her. "Um…" Janice was a little hesitant. Even though she knew that these clothes would not be cheap and that her wallet would probably not be able to handle the price tag, she was still a woman at heart and longed to try these beautiful pieces on.

    This was way out of her budget. "I don't think it's that special. Never mind. Let's go check out some other store…" Janice handed the clothes back to the salesgirl after changing out of them. The smile froze on the salesgirl's face as disappointment seeped through her heart. She hoped that a few of the items would catch Janice's attention, but on second thought, Janice was a gorgeous woman, and it was not surprising if Janice was considerably pickier when it came to fashion. At this thought, the salesgirl's face lit up as an idea popped into her head. She strode over to a clothing rack on the other side of the room and announced, "Miss, there's a beautiful dress here in the store. It's the brainchild of one of the most famous fashion designers in this country. Its quality is unsurpassable when it comes to fabric or design, and is one of the most beautiful items we have on display in this store…" Leon and Janice turned to glance in her direction and came face-to-face with a

    "Miss, please add this dress as well as the other clothes Janice has tried on to the bill! I'll take all of them!" Leon declared confidently. "Yes, Sir! I'll put it on your tab right now!" the salesgirl was absolutely over the moon. She quickly placed the clothes into a paper bag, the grin on her face so wide it was as though her cheeks would split apart at any moment. "Wait, miss! I don't want any of them…" Janice quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Janice, you look amazing in these clothes. Why would you not want them?" Leon was puzzled by this. "I…" Janice's face was red with embarrassment, but she could no longer hide her humiliation. She whispered to him, "I don't have that much money…" "No money?" the color drained from the salesgirl's face. She thought Leon was a wealthy man from how generously he acted just now, but now, she seemed to come to the realization that these two fooled her all along! "Sir, do you still want these clothes?" she asked, the smile froz

    Janice's face was etched with worry, hoping that Leon would take her advice and snap out of this before it was too late. Leon did not know how to react to this. He could tell that Janice misunderstood the nature of his job, but he knew that she just tried to help, so he did not try to go against her. "Alright, I promise I won't do it again," he said, smiling. The only reason he got into the business was that he tried to establish the Energy Convergence Circle, and he knew that this industry was not what it seemed on the outside; if he were to get involved even more and other people discovered that he was able to sense the rocks' spiritual energy, the consequences would be dire! If that happened, he could not even guarantee his safety. Therefore, that was the first and last time he ever attempted to gamble on gemstones, and he never once hoped this business would bring him wealth. "That's good." Janice was relieved to hear this. A split second later, however, she seemed t

    Janice chuckled as she said this, but after a moment, she realized how her statement could be easily misunderstood, and blushed in embarrassment.Leon did not take it too seriously at all and instead pointed at a cosmetic store a short distance away from them. "Didn't you want to buy some makeup too, Janice? That store over there looks nice, why don't we go take a look?""Alright." Janice agreed, and the two of them strode over together. This was a chain cosmetics store that mainly sold mid and high-end makeup products, including well-known international brands that featured skin care products, perfume, and cosmeceutical products as well.The two of them walked into the store.Perhaps it was a Saturday, but the entire store was packed with people, and the mere few sales assistants available seemed to be overwhelmed by the crowd. Leon and Janice circled the store a few times, but even then, no sales assistant came up to attend to them. After walking around the store for a whil

    "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
