"Well," Leon was rendered speechless. He knew that supreme spiritual herbs were valuable and families like the Dagleshs could not possibly sell Emperor Herb for money. Hence, he could not argue with Candice's logic. "Candice, I'll say this one last time. Be polite to Mister Wolf. If you keep this attitude up, I will have you punished!" Elder Daglesh glared at Candice with displeasure. Though what she said was right and they could not sell the herb to Leon, Candice was far too young and reckless. She insulted Leon multiple times and Elder Daglesh was glad that Leon did not take it personally. Still, he could not allow her to keep it up or she may eventually provoke Leon. "I-" Upon hearing that she would be punished, Candice dared not to argue and quieted down. "Elder Daglesh, are you sure you can't sell the Emperor Herb to me?" Leon knew that he was in the wrong and did not take Candice's words personally. He glanced at Elder Daglesh in disappointment and resignation.
"It's fine. It's just one supreme spiritual herb. I know what I'm doing!" Elder Daglesh said calmly. The Emperor Herb was a neutral herb, which meant that it was not compatible with the method Elder Daglesh used to train. It would not be able to enhance his power or get him past the barrier of his training. Hence, he did not need the Emperor Herb. Leon, on the other hand, needed Emperor Herb and Elder Daglesh felt that it was appropriate to give the Emperor Herb as a favor. Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group and a martial artist in the Almighty State. Given his age, the sky was the limit. Considering CYnthion Grou's potential and Leon's talent, he was bound to achieve greatness. If he gave Leon Emperor Herb to befriend him, Leon would grow into someone who could help the Dagleshs in times of need. This would only benefit the Dagleshs. "But," Mateo and Candice were reluctant to give up. Though Emperor Herb's property was not compatible with the Dagleshs, there w
"Mister Wolf, this is the Emperor Herb! I'm giving it to you. Please accept it." Elder Daglesh retrieved a delicately wrapped box and placed it in front of Leon, before opening it. There was an air-dried herb inside. The tips of the roots formed a star-like shape. It did not look like a flower or a grass. Its fragrance was calming and refreshing. This was indeed an Emperor Herb. "Elder Daglesh, thank you. But this is too valuable and I can't just accept this. Just name a price so I can buy it from you," Leon said hesitantly. Though he truly wanted Emperor Herb, it was far too valuable and he could not accept it as a gift as the Dagleshs would suffer a great loss if he did. "It's fine! This Emperor Herb won't be of much use to us and I truly wish to give it to you. If you felt guilty about it, just consider this as you owe us one favor. In the future, all you need to do is help us out when we are in trouble," Elder Daglesh smiled. "Well," Leon was rendered speechless. At
"Mister Wolf, I may be old but I've always been healthy. I've not experienced any illness. Don't you think it's too much to claim that I won't live past the next few months?" Elder Daglesh's expression darkened. He treated Leon as an esteemed guest and even intended to give Emperor Herb out for free. From his perspective, he was incredibly kind to Leon. Yet, Leon claimed that he only had a few more months to live and this sounded like a curse. It was only natural for him to be displeased. Even Jensen, who befriended Leon, was upset by what Leon said. "Elder Daglesh, you're mistaken. I don't mean to curse you or anything. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can try pressing the point under your third rib," Leon explained sincerely. "Under my third rib?" Elder Daglesh was baffled, but did as he was told and immediately felt a sharp pain. Elder Daglesh gasped. "Dad, what's wrong?" Mateo was shocked by his reaction and the others immediately looked at Elder
"Grandpa, is what Mister Wolf said true? Have you noticed anything odd when you train?" Jensen asked and the others turned their attention to Elder Daglesh. Though Leon's explanation was detailed, they were not doctors and could not tell if Leon was telling the truth. However, they knew that Elder Daglesh would at least feel something if he was on the brink of losing control of his energy. "Yeah, I think so! I've been struggling to concentrate lately and there's a difference between my condition compared to the past," Elder Daglesh said thoughtfully. He reached the Intermediate Almighty State over a decade ago, yet was not able to reach the Advanced Almighty State. This frustrated him and because of that, he was trying to break past the barrier of his training by force in the hope of reaching the next power level. However, each attempt ended up in failure. At first, he did not pay much mind to it, but realization dawned on him once he heard what Leon had to say. Perhaps
"What? Mister Wolf, you can cure my grandfather? You're not a doctor. Are you messing with us?" Jensen was taken aback. After spending a few days with Leon, he knew quite a lot about Leon. Though Leon was young, he was a formidable martial artist and a talented businessman. However, Leon was not a professional doctor and he never heard that Leon knew medicine. Since Elder Daglesh was about to lose control of his energy, this was something that ordinary doctors could not treat. Leon was not even a doctor and he could not believe that Leon had the skills to treat Elder Daglesh. "Jensen's right. Mister Wolf, thank you for offering. Doctor Otway is a famous doctor here in the Western region and his skills are unrivaled! I think it's safer for him to treat my father!" Mateo said and rejected Leon's offer. This was the first time he met Leon and knew almost nothing about him. If even Jensen had doubts about Leon's skills, he felt even more so and did not think Leon had what it
"What? Are you trying to say that you are better than Doctor Otway? Mister Wolf, don't you think that's too arrogant of you?" The Dagleshs were all shocked. Since Leon was not a professional doctor, they were all skeptical about his skills, yet Leon claimed to be better than Doctor Otway. There was no way that they would believe him. Candice, who had a poor impression of Leon, felt that Leon was unreliable for bluffing and became even more appalled by him. "Wolf, why are you bluffing? Doctor Otway is the most skilled doctor in the Western region with impeccable skills! You're just an amateur and not even a professional doctor. How can you be better than Doctor Otway? Do you take us for fools?" Candice mocked with a dark expression. "Miss Morrison, I'm not bluffing! I'm telling the truth. If I can tell that Elder Daglesh is ill, I naturally can treat him! You don't have to worry." Leon frowned and said sincerely. He never accepted any payment or compensation for treating oth
"Grandpa, you can't!" Candice and the others were all shocked and she immediately protested. "Why not?" Elder Daglesh turned to her, clearly displeased that she kept questioning Leon. "Grandpa, Wolf, Mister Wolf isn't a proper doctor. He's too young and his skills can't possibly measure up to Doctor Otway's! If he's an amateur, he may cause your condition to worsen and the consequences would be unimaginable." Sensing his displeasure, Candice dared not to be rude but stood her ground. She felt that Leon was unreliable and did not want him to treat Elder Daglesh. "That won't happen. Mister Wolf made it clear that he is confident about this! I trust him!" Elder Daglesh said, his tone unquestionable. Despite Leon's young age, he was the chairman of Cynthion Group and a martial artist in the Almighty State. Given Leon's ability, Leon would never make a promise if he was not certain about succeeding. He would never risk harming Elder Daglesh and act recklessly, so Elder Dagle
