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
"You asked for this! You are dying today," Contrary to Renee's despair, Gaston, Bucky, and Aurelia all sneered and stared at Leon as though he was already dead. They all concluded that Leon was in the Semi-Almighty State. If he listened to Renee and ran in time, he might be able to survive. However, he was too arrogant to take her advice and insisted on fighting. It seemed foolish of him and the three of them did not think he could win as it would not be realistic. If everything went as planned, Leon would surely perish and that seemed to be the only possibility. However, before they could fully indulge in their fantasies, what happened next shook them to their core. "Bring it on. Hurricane Break!" Leon scoffed. He stepped forward and extended both his arms to launch his most powerful technique, Hurricane Break. Countless streams of spiritual energy emerged from all directions, before combining into a powerful hurricane that charged the two elderly men. Since Hurric
"No way!" Renee rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She thought that Leon was destined to perish for facing two martial artists in the Almighty State. To her bewilderment, she could not be more wrong. Not only was Leon safe, he defeated the two elderly men with a single blow and his attack even managed to injure Gaston, Bucky, and Aurelia who stood at the back. It was so surreal that she was shaken to the core. "Damn it! How can this happen?" Gaston and the others were all shaken by the power of Hurricane Break and their hearts sank. They all assumed that Leon was only in the Semi-Almighty State. Since the two elderly men were in the Almighty State and Leon was outnumbered, they assumed that defeating him would be easy. They even planned on destroying him to nib his talent in the crib. However, the reality delivered a resounding slap to them. Leon defeated two martial artists with a single attack and the aftermath of the attack was powerful enough to injure everyone else.
"How did Renee find such a powerful boyfriend? I can't accept this," Aurelia covered her chest and glared resentfully at Renee and Leon. She repeatedly undermined Hugh because she mistook Hugh for Renee's boyfriend and assumed that he was just a lowly vice president. She thought that Hugh could not compare to her boyfriend, Bucky, and wanted to embarrass Renee by using Hugh as an excuse. However, her plan did not work out. Not only was Hugh extremely wealthy and embarrassed them at the jadeite shop, but he was also an extremely powerful martial artist; even Gaston and two other martial artists in the Almighty State were no match for him. It was unheard of for someone Loen's age to reach such a high level of accomplishment and the sky was the limit for him. It was no exaggeration that Hugh surpassed Bucky in every aspect possible and no one in the younger generation could compare with him throughout the entire Sky County. Unfortunately, such a formidable figure turned out
