Brody and Marilyn made their way toward them, his arms wrapped intricately around her waist. It was a while since Leon saw Marilyn, and at first glance, he could tell that she gained weight. Even though she was wearing loose clothing in an attempt to hide her figure, one could not deny the fact that she was heavily pregnant. "Mr. Sullivan, I didn't know you'd be coming." The salesgirl's attitude changed entirely as soon as she saw him. "I'm here on a surprise inspection." Brody's expression was just as haughty and arrogant as ever. This department store belonged to Sullivan Enterprises, and all the branches in Springfield City were under his supervision as he was the manager overseeing their operations. "What's going on? What happened here?" he asked. "Mr. Sullivan, these people wanted to buy skincare products from Elegante Group yet were complaining about its prices. They were causing a scene…" the salesgirl said, pointing at Leon and the rest with a disgusted look.
"This is my ex-wife and the bastard she slept with!" Leon replied calmly without a single hint of anger or emotion stirring within him. "Oh!" Janice was stunned by this. She heard of Marilyn and Leon's messy divorce, and could not help feeling disgusted at Leon's mistreatment. Even though she was a shy and introverted person, she still could not help feeling angry on Leon's behalf and the expression on her face immediately turned hostile. "Leon, I never thought that you'd find another woman so soon after our divorce. I guess I underestimated your ability to fawn over women and trick them!" Marilyn was fuming at this. She was certain that Leon would get on horribly after their divorce and would never be able to find a mate again, but to her surprise, he got involved with one of the most beautiful women in town, Iris Young! Not only that, but now, he seemed to be dating another extremely attractive woman. Both of them were substantially prettier than her, and she was bitter
Leon, with his arm still wrapped around Janice's waist, was about to turn and leave. After all, he already moved past his divorce, and Janice already helped him win his pride back in front of Marilyn and Brody. There was no point lingering on this issue any longer. "Wait, we haven't bought anything yet," Janice whispered in a soft voice that tingled his ears. "The products here are too expensive; we don't have to buy anything! If you want to get something from Elegante Group, I can always get my hands on them. I'll even get you two!" he replied, smiling. Since he was the manufacturer of Elegante Group's products, he knew that he could easily add more serum into the products to make them more effective before gifting them to Janice. "No, I want this! It only costs seventeen hundred dollars. Miss, please give me a set of this!" she declared. She knew that she could not back down; 1700 dollars was not even that much, and she could easily afford it if it meant Leon could wi
Leon sneered.The product of Elegante Group was sold nine hundred and fifty in other malls, but the Sullivan Enterprises had raised the price by a fold in private, which was a serious violation to consumers' rights."So what? Are you going to file a complaint in the industrial and commercial department? Go ahead! Let me tell you something. Sullivan Enterprises has connections with those departments so filing a complaint won't do a thing!" Brody said mockingly.Raising the price of the Elegante Group's product at their branches was a minor offense and even if the government received reports on it, they would not be bothered to act on it; not to mention that the Sullivan Enterprises had run its business in Springfield City for years and had built a strong network. Unless Leon had the power equivalent to a king, he would not be able to cause any damages."Is that so? Just wait and see, then! This time, I am going to shut all the cosmetic stores under the Sullivan Enterprises down!" Le
"Hello. Mister Wick. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Brody smiled fawningly.Both him and Jenson were the offspring of wealthy families, but the Wick was one of the most powerful families and Sullivan Enterprises belonged to a far lower tier in terms of influence and power.Brody dared not to behave arrogantly in front of Jenson, especially when his chain cosmetic stores ran solely on the supplies that the Wick Group distributed to them.He may disrespect anyone, but definitely not Jenson."Brody Sullivan, how dare you?!" Jenson roared. "From today onward, the Wick Group is cutting all supplies to your cosmetic stores!""What?" Stricken, Brody froze. He did not know why Jenson had decided to terminate their collaboration all of a sudden, but the one thing that was clear was that without the supply, all cosmetic stores run by the Sullivan Enterprises would not be able to survive.Before he could fully comprehend the situation, his heart sank at what Jenson said."Also, I've conta
He would not be able to explain himself to his father and the board members if that happened."Honey, this is all Leon's fault! He is the one who reported us to the Wick Group! He is behind this!" Marilyn pointed at Leon and screamed."How dare you, Wolf?!" Brody sobered and glared daggers at Leon.Both him and Marilyn had thought that Leon was merely putting on an act, only to realize that they had been the fools."That's right. I did it! You two said that I can't hurt you, so I thought that the Sullivan Family really is that powerful! What a disappointment!" Leon mocked."Why you-" Brody gritted out, feeling his blood boil with rage. Had he not witnessed what a great fighter Leon was, he would have launched himself onto Leon by now."Leon Wolf, just remember that you have this coming! If you have a death wish, I'm going to make that wish come true!" Brody burst into laughter devilishly.Ever since he was injured by Leon the time before, he had sworn to seek revenge and hired a
"Don't worry. They are just a few pawns. They won't be able to touch a hair on me!" Leon smiled confidently. His strength had surpassed the Initial Innate State and he had even defeated a martial artist who was in the intermediate Innate State recently.The men before him were merely fighters with no trace of true energy, so they could only be slightly stronger than ordinary bodyguards and were no match for him."Brat, who are you calling pawns?!""Do you want to die?!"The four men were enraged.Leon ignored them and stared coldly at Brody. "Brody Sullivan, I've warned you not to cross me again! I'm giving you one last chance. Stop now, and I can pretend that this never happened, or you will pay for this!"The crowd around them exploded at Leon's words."Who is this kid? He's too arrogant!""Yeah. He is up against four strong men. They are probably going to send him flying with just one punch!""What gives him the courage to say such a thing?"...The crowd erupted into dis
It was incredible!Naturally, they were unaware that Leon had recently advanced to the Acquired State, but his cultivation level had accelerated to surpass the initial innate state, so it was only natural that he could easily defeat four fighters."Good. Excellent work. Impressive! It's the first time I've seen someone harness their external power to such an extent!" Mason Shelton applauded, his eyes shining with approval.Leon had not used his true energy in his previous attack, proving that he was not a martial artist but merely a skilled fighter. External power was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to martial arts, and Leon had to be a gifted individual to reach such a level of strength through training for external power."You... Are you a martial artist?"Leon's eyes narrowed as he sensed the true energy flowing through his opponent's body. However, because Mason had not yet acted, he had no idea how powerful Mason truly was.Mason appears to be quite skilled, based o
"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
