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
Satisfied with the others' reaction, Mason turned to look at Leon with contempt. "Brat, did you see that? That's the internal power of a skilled martial artist! I'll give you one last chance. Are you getting on your knees, or should I force you down instead? Take a pick""You are so talkative. Let's just do this already!" Leon picked at his ear and said impatiently. He had been wary about the depth of Mason's strength, but during the show that Mason put on earlier, he sensed through the flow of true energy that Mason had merely reached the peak of the Acquired State.Leon would not stand a chance against Mason in the past, but considering the fact that he had surpassed the Initial Innate State, Mason was no threat to him."You have this coming, brat! I'll show you!" Provoked, Mason launched a swift punch at Leon.Concerned that Janice might get injured by the energy radiating off Mason's fist, Leon did not dodge and launched a kick toward Mason's chest.Mason was certain that Leon
Brody could not believe his eyes.He knew just how strong Mason was and did not expect him to be defeated by Leon in such a short amount of time with no chance of fighting back at all.He would not have believed it to be true if he had not seen it.Marilyn, on the other hand, was completely stunned as well. She had been married to Leon for three years, and she knew that he was still a useless scum up until two months ago. He was as lowly as a servant in the Manson Family with no power to fight back at all; however, he had transformed into a man who had the influence to shut down the operation of Sullivan Enterprises' chain stores, and possessed the strength to defeat the skilled fighters Brody hired alone.'Is this still the good-for-nothing guy that I know?' She thought. 'I guess you should never underestimate one's growth! Perhaps I have been too short-sighted to see his true potential!'"Leon, you... you were great!" Janice's eyes lit up at the realization that in the few years
"I promise you that this is the last time. I won't get in your way ever again...""It's too late to know your mistakes now!" Leon sneered and was prepared to strike.Terrified, Brody blurted out, "wait! You said that you will spare me if I kneel. How can you go back on your own words?"Leon stilled and remembered that he had indeed mentioned that he might consider spare Brody and Mason if they kneeled before him. "That was then, and this is now! Besides, I only said that I will consider it. I didn't make any promises!" He said mockingly."You..." Furious, Brody cursed inwardly, but decided to white-knuckle through the humiliation. He had already let go of his pride and kneeled to Leon, so he could not simply give up."Marilyn, you are my wife! You were married to Leon for three years. Beg him for mercy so that he will spare me..." He called out to Marilyn hopefully."I..." Marilyn's expression darkened.Though she was Leon's former wife, the two had never consummated the marriag
"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
