"Hugh, have you gone mad? Mister Grimston is the leader of the second-generation martial artists in his family. He's in the Semi-Almighty State, making him more powerful than you. You need to be careful," Renee recovered from the initial shock and whispered. She assumed that Leon acted recklessly because he did not know how powerful Gaston was, so she decided to remind him and prevent him from enraging Gaston. Crossing Gaston would not benefit Leon in any way. "I haven't gone mad. He's just in the Semi-Almighty State and it's not that that's a big deal. I'm interested to see what he can do," Leon said in contempt. With his overall strength reaching the Advanced Almighty State, even if the leader of the Grimstons appeared, they would not be able to harm him, let alone a second-generation martial artist like Gaston. Hence, Leon did not see Gaston as a threat. "Why you! How arrogant! You must have a death wish!" Gaston was infuriated by Leon's contemptuous attitude. He fired
"You'll find out if I dare to do so soon enough! Old man, I've already given you a chance. Since you won't take it, don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Leon scoffed. Without hesitation, he stomped on Bucky's knees. Snap! Following a crisp sound, the bones on Bucky's knees were instantly shattered. Bucky screamed and saw stars from the pain, coming close to fainting. "Hugh, have you gone mad?" Renee was utterly shocked and gaped at him in disbelief. Though Hugh was only in the Advanced Emperor State, making him far weaker than Gaston, at least he had Bucky as his hostage. It was the best strategy to negotiate with Gaston using Bucky as the bargaining chip. That way, Hugh may be able to escape unscathed. However, not only did Hugh not do so, but he also repeatedly challenged Gaston and even broke Bucky's leg in front of Gaston. This seemed reckless and she was taken aback by Leon's actions. "You!" Renee was not the only one who was shocked; So were Gaston and Au
"Die, brat!" Gaston narrowed his eyes maliciously. The fact that Leon broke Bucky's leg infuriated him and he wanted to take Leon's life. Since Leon faced up to him and even dreamed of fending off his attack with a single finger, this worked to Gaston's advantage and he was not about to miss such an opportunity. Changing into a different position, he extended his arm and wielded a powerful attack at Leon, intending to destroy Leon with a single blow to avenge his son. "Die, you arrogant brat!" Bucky and Aurelia glared at Leon maliciously when they noticed that Leon was trying to face Gaston head-on. Bucky wore a vicious expression. Leon broke his leg and he resented Leon for it. He desperately wished that Gaston could kill Leon within an instant. On the other hand, they learned from Renee that Leon was just in the Advanced Emperor State, which made him far weaker than Gaston in the Semi-Almighty State. None of them thought that Leon could fend off an attack from Gaston'
Leon did not waver and took the blow with the Mirror of Sovereign. Meanwhile, the Earthly Plunder tore through the weakest point of Gaston's attack and darted toward Gaston's chest. Gaston needed a defensive tool like Leon. On top of that, he underestimated Leon and did not think there was a possibility that Leon could withstand his attack. Hence, he was defenseless when Leon's Earthly Plunder pierced through his true energy. By the time he realized what was happening, Leon's Earthly Plunder was merely inches away from him and it was too late for him to dodge. "Oh, no!" He paled. However, he was still a martial artist in the Semi-Almighty State and would not simply stand still when under attack. At the very last moment, he summoned all the remaining true energy and tilted his body to avoid taking the blow in the chest. Leon's attack ended up landing on his shoulder instead. The Earthly Plunder struck and left a bloody wound on Gaston's shoulder. He grunted in pain a
"Old man, it's my time to strike now! Take this!" Leon scoffed. He wielded powerful energy in his hand and charged at Gaston. Though the Earthly Plunder from earlier had already injured Gaston, the fact that Gaston tried to bully him like Aurelia and Bucky did and even demanded he break his arm enraged Leon. He was not a pushover and intended to use this opportunity to teach Gaston a lesson to prevent him from bullying others in the future. "Oh no!" Gaston paled when he sensed Leon's powerful attack. Though he did not know how Leon managed to defeat him, he knew that he was no match for Leon when they faced each other head-on. Now that he was already injured on the shoulder, he could not move his arm and there was no way that he could fight Leon. Not daring to face Leon head-on, he darted aside and attempted to dodge Leon's attack with his speed advantage. However, Leon seemed to have seen through his intention and launched the Phantom Steps instead. Leon's speed incr
"Hugh, are you alright?" Terrified, Renee hurried over to support Leon worriedly. "I'm fine." Leon nodded. "Good!" Renee scanned him up and down and relaxed when she confirmed that he was unharmed. Meanwhile, the two elderly men did not go after Leon. One of the men grabbed Bucky and rescued him from Leon's restraint to prevent Leon from hurting Bucky further or using him as a hostage. "I'm finally safe!" Bucky sighed a breath of relief. Both Aurelia and Gaston were relieved as well. Gaston was defeated by Leon and came close to suffering further injuries from Leon's attacks. Thankfully, the two men he brought leaped into action in time. They fended Leon off and managed to rescue Bucky, which was quite fortunate considering the current situation. "This kid's powerful. Why don't we just let this pass?" The two elderly men said thoughtfully Since Leon was using his spiritual energy, the two of them could not detect anything from Leon and could not guess which level Le
"Oh, alright, then." The two elderly men felt resigned that Bucky and Gaston refused to give up. However, they were just distant relatives of the Grimstons. Meanwhile, Bucky and Gaston were direct descendants and future heirs of the family. Since they were determined to punish Leon, the elderly men could not disobey. "Uncles, destroy that little bast*rd right now and show him what it means to cross the Grimstons," Gaston commanded and glared maliciously at Leon. He knew that Leon had to be talented to reach the Semi-Almighty State at such a young age. Since he intended to fight Leon, he would have to destroy Leon and nib his talent in the crib. Otherwise, Leon would grow to be a big threat to the Grimstons. "Yes!" the elderly men responded. Without hesitation, they started approaching Leon from two different directions. "Oh no!" Renee paled and her heart sank. Leon showed that he was likely in the Semi-Almighty State by defeating Gaston, but the Almighty State was a d
"Running? Not so soon!" Gaston mistakenly thought Leon was running when he overheard his conversation with Renee. His expression darkened and he ordered the two elderly men, "Uncles, get on with it before that kid runs away." "Yes, sir!" "Don't you try to run. Prepare to die!" The elderly men heeded Gaston's order and each launched a powerful attack at Leon. They both shared Gaston's thoughts. Leon was far too talented and had great potential for further growth in the future. Under normal circumstances, one should either befriend such talent or nib it in the crib without giving them a chance to rise. Since Gaston and Bucky insisted on making Leon their enemy, the elderly men could only team up against Leon to destroy him on the spot, actively preventing him from retaliating. "Hugh, run! You won't get away if you don't run now," Renee panicked when they launched their attacks and she shoved at Leon, hinting him to run. However, Leon remained unmoved. "It's fine. I to
