"Hugo's right! The alchemical pills produced by Cynthion Group are highly profitable." "We must find a way to work with them. We can't let them work with the Dagleshs instead!" ... The elders immediately agreed with Hugo. "So now you finally know that it's important to work with Cynthion Group. What were you all doing at the beginning, then? When Hugh came to the mansion to discuss terms with you, neither of you agreed to it. You brought this all upon yourselves! Renee scoffed and shot the elders a mocking look. "Well," The elders were all rendered speechless as what she said was the truth. If they did not act so arrogantly and attempted to profit more from Hugh, they would be Cynthion Group's official partner by now and would not need to compete against the Dagleshs. Therefore, none of them could argue with Renee. "Renee, don't blame them. They aren't the only ones responsible. I played a part in this as well! If I listed to Hugo from the start, things wouldn't have wo
"Yeah, that's a good idea." "We can let Hugo try!" ... The elders' eyes lit up and they all agreed with the suggestion. "Well, alright! Hugo, how about you go and speak with Mister Wolf in private?" Caleb considered it and felt that it was an acceptable solution. Though it may not resolve their concerns, it could at least increase the chance of obtaining a partnership with Cynthion Group. Apart from that, Caleb and the elders could not think of anything else. "No, it won't work! I've only met Mister Wolf once in the southern region and we aren't exactly that close. Even if I go to him, he wouldn't just choose to work with the Morrisons for the sake of a mere acquaintance!" Hugo shook his head and rejected the idea. "I see," Caleb and the elders were disappointed. They all knew that they all offended Hugh. Because Hugo was not a close friend of Hugh, there was no point for him to seek a private audience with Leon. Before they could get disheartened, Hugo said, "Grand
"Hugo, Mister Wolf is an esteemed guest of the Dragon Corps. He is close with Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot. It's not like he has no connection here in the western region. If he wants to establish a branch here, won't he seek their help? If we get ahead of ourselves and build one for him, it may not work out well and our efforts will be in vain!" Caleb said. "He won't! The Dragon Corps is a governmental corporation, not an enterprise. Mister Wolf won't just go asking for their help over business matters. Besides, he hasn't started preparing for the branch. Even if he is to seek Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot's help, it would be a few days from now. We can acquire a pharmaceutical firm for him before that and all issues would be resolved then!" Hugo said confidently. Establishing a branch was a time-consuming matter and it could not be done over a short period. The best solution at the moment was to acquire a pharmaceutical firm in Leon's place. Considering the Morrisons' influ
Meanwhile, on Leon's end. He drank quite a bit at the Dragon Corps and was feeling a little tired. After the Dagleshs and the Morrisons left, he showered and changed into a white, clean bathing robe, preparing to rest. Bang, bang! Just then, someone knocked on his door hastily. "Who is it?" Confused, Leon did not think much of it and went to open the door. However, something unexpected happened when he opened the door. A wave of powerful true energy rushed in, catching him off-guard. Without hesitation, he dodged the attack. At the same time, an old man and two middle-aged men stormed in. They were none other than Diego, Enzo, and Milo who worked for the Western Boss. They were here under the Western Boss’s order to capture Leon. "Huh? Kid, I didn't expect you to be capable of dodging my attack. You are quite something!" Milo was quite surprised after barging in. He was the one who sent off that wave of true energy. Being in the Semi-Almighty State, he assum
"Like you can make me do anything. What a joke!" Leon scoffed and looked at Milo in contempt. When Milo launched his attack earlier, Leon detected that he was in the Semi-Almighty State. With his overall strength reaching the Advanced Almighty State, he had no fear for someone in the Semi-Almighty State. "How arrogant! Do you have a death wish?" Milo was furious. He could not stand being looked down on by a young man and was infuriated by Leon's attitude. "Milo, don't bother chit-chatting with him. This kid is oddly swift. Let's all work together and capture him to fulfill the Western Boss's order," Enzo said coldly. "Judging from how Leon dodged Milo's attack, he could tell that Leon was oddly swift. To avoid any unexpected incident, he did not bother to waste any more time and decided to attack alongside Milo and Diego. "It's fine. I told you that I could handle this brat on my own. There’s no need for all three of us to fight him at the same time!" Milo said proudly an
"How dare you act all tough when this is all you got! Know your place!" Leon scoffed at Milo's attack. He took one step forward and launched an attack on Milo. "Die, kid!" Milo narrowed his eyes sharply when he saw Leon facing him head-on. Due to Felton's misleading information, he was certain that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State. Indeed. Though Leon's overall strength reached the Advanced Almighty State, he was in the Advanced Emperor State without taking the Dragon Pill and his other tricks into account. Once in a fight, Milo could tell from Leon's explosive power and speed that he was indeed in the Advanced Emperor State. This was miles away from the Semi-Almighty State he was in, so he did not see Leon as a threat. He followed Diego's order and strengthened his attack, intending to destroy Leon with a single blow to vent his frustration. "Know your place!" Diego and Enzo sneered and stared at Leon as though they were looking at a fool. Like Milo, they could
Baam! Following a deafening sound, Milo was not given time to react and was instantly sent flying. He slammed hard against the coffee table behind him and rolled off to the ground. As soon as he landed, a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he spat blood. His face was pale and he suffered from severe internal injury. Thankfully, Leon was not powerful enough to cause any permanent damage. Otherwise, he would have suffered far more than internal injury. "Milo was defeated? How is this possible?" Both Diego and Enzo rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They both knew that Milo reached the Semi-Almighty State, which made him far stronger than Leon, who was in the Advanced Emperor State. They thought that Milo's powerful strike would easily defeat Leon. To their bewilderment, they were wrong. Not only was Milo incapable of disabling Leon, but he was also struck down to the point of spitting blood. This was so surreal that they were shaken to the core. "How could this happe
"Alright. You two are next. Come at me!" After defeating Milo, Leon pointed at Diego and Enzo, asking that they attack together to save him some time. "Don't get so smug, kid. So what if you are in the Semi-Almighty State? There's a huge gap between the Semi-Almighty State and the Almighty State. You are no match for me!" Diego scoffed and released his true energy. His energy in the Initial Almighty State swarmed Leon. He came to the same conclusion as Enzo and assumed that Leon was merely in the Semi-Almighty State There was an enormous gap between the Semi-Almighty State and the Almighty State. Not only were they a level different, but there was also a huge difference in strength. Countless second-generation and first-generation martial artists who lacked talent struggled to get to the Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State. Considering Leon's young age, they refused to believe that he reached the Almighty State as it was impossible. So long as Leon did not reach
