"Um, alright then! Mister Wolf, thank you!" Edler Daglesh no longer insisted and accepted Leon's offer in the end. With that, Leon traded two Cleansing Pills for Emperor Herb. "Leon's such an amazing person. I have underestimated him," A conflicted look appeared in Candice's eyes as she studied Leon's face. Due to previous misunderstandings, she assumed that Leon was a despicable man. At this moment, she realized how wrong she was. Not only was he formidable, but he was always modest and righteous. After curing Elder Daglesh, he insisted on trading the Cleansing Pills for Emperor Herb. Such virtue was admirable and rare, making him a rare gem. Instantly, her impression of Leon took a sharp turn, and the previous contempt she felt transformed into admiration. "Alright! Mister Wolf, we've taken up enough of your time. Please take your seat!" Just then, Elder Daglesh changed the subject. Though it was a shame that the Dagleshs could not partner with Cynthion Group, the
"We don't know that! Grandpa, my dad told you all that Leon isn't a good man! He's greedy and proposed an extremely unfavorable profit division. It's dangerous to work with someone so despicable! I think that Hugo will struggle to strike a deal with Leon!" A young man chimed in sarcastically. He was none other than Jayden's son, Georgie. Since Jayden almost ruined the opportunity to work with Cynthion Gorup, Elder Daglesh was enraged and grounded him. Hence, Georgie blamed Leon for causing this and was displeased with Hugo as well. If possible, he did not wish for Hugo to succeed. Once an alliance was formed between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, Caleb and the elders would surely place more trust in Hugo, and Jayden's position would be threatened. This would hardly benefit him and his father. "Well," Hearing this, Caleb and the elders grew more worried. Just then, they heard footsteps approaching. Hugo and Renee strode in. "Hugo, Renee, you're finally back!" Caleb
"Yeah! Hugo, did Mister Wolf raise any additional condition?" ... The elders' hearts dropped as they turned to look at Hugo. After all, the profit division Leon proposed was too unfavorable and the Morrisons were barely accepting it. If Leon attempted to exploit them further for personal gain, the situation would be even less ideal. "No, Mister Wolf didn't ask for anything else. He did ask for our help to acquire a cosmetic firm though." Hugo shook his head, then recalled about the mention of acquiring a cosmetic firm. "What?" I knew that he was a greedy and cunning man! We've already spent close to 280 million on acquiring a pharmaceutical firm for him. Now, he's getting cocky and asking us to spend hundreds of millions more on another cosmetic firm! He sure knows how to bargain!" Georgie sneered. He knew that the Morrisons could benefit greatly from working with Cynthion Group, but the profit division Leon proposed was too unfavorable and the Morrisons would merely earn
"Grandpa, Leon's ruthless and cunning. We can't just let him mess with us!" Georgie was pleased that the others were offended and added fuel to the fire. However, before he could finish, Hugo interrupted him. "Georgie, that's enough. Mister Wolf isn't like that!" He turned to Caleb and the elders. "Grandpa, elders, you're all mistaken! Mister Wolf is generous and kind. He has never planned on having us help with the cosmetic firm without paying. That includes the pharmaceutical firms as well. He's already paid me all the money I used on acquiring the pharmaceutical firm," Hugo explained before recounting how Leon refused to accept the pharmaceutical firm for free. "Hugo, are you saying that he refused the gift?" "I see!" Realization dawned on Caleb and the others. They were all prepared to give the pharmaceutical firm to Leon for free to obtain the partnership with Cynthion Group. To their bewilderment, Leon refused it and paid them back. This took them by surprise and th
"Damn it! How can this happen," Contrary to the others' reaction, Georgie was shocked and his heart sank. He thought that Leon was a greedy man and wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, thus preventing Hugo from making an accomplishment. To his bewilderment, things turned out completely differently. Not only did Leon not accept the pharmaceutical firm the Morrisons offered, but he also returned all the money used. On top of that, Leon even proposed to increase their portion of profit to twenty-five percent. This completely caught Georgie by surprise and shattered his fantasy. "Cousin, I thought you said Leon is a despicable, greedy man. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee mocked as she looked at Georgie with contempt. She knew that Georgie and Jayden were both on the same side. The two repeatedly attempted to ruin the partnership between Cynthion Group and the Morrisons mainly because they wanted to undermine
The next morning in the five-star hotel, Leon got up and drove to the pharmaceutical firm Hugo acquired for him. There, he met with Elliot, Harley, and Mike. Elliot and Mike were professionals arranged by Hugo and were to help manage the branch. Harley was the saleswoman Leon recruited as the vice president of the branch. With the branch established, Harley came over today first thing in the morning to report to duty. Alongside the three of them, Leon took a tour inside the firm to learn more about it, before making suitable arrangements. On the other hand, the Morrisons and Cynthion Group were officially partners and Leon would have to start producing the alchemical pills for the sales drive. He had no time to manage the branch, so he left it all with Elliot, Harley, and Mike. Elliot and Mike were responsible for operation and management, while Harley was charged with recruitment and human resources. The three of them had their respective duties and this would ensure
At the top of the mountain behind the backyard of the Morrisons' mansion, Leon arrived alone and scanned the forest around him. Finding a suitable spot, he laid out the nineteen jadeite plates he bought and set up an Energy Convergence Circle. He intended to do what he did in the southern region and drew the spiritual energy from the mountain to the backyard. That way, he could produce the pills in the yard, which was far more convenient than doing so on top of a mountain. Once the circle was ready, Leon returned to the backyard. Meanwhile, Renee was ordering the guards to unload the herbs and set up the tools like the alchemy pot. Since Leon needed a quiet environment, she then ordered the guards to leave while she stayed to help. Soon, the two of them were the only people left and everything was in place. Leon took out all the herbs he obtained over the past few days, including the Rainbow Fruit, the Emperor Herb, and the herbs he obtained from the business bouquet.
"Alright! Renee, let's start making the pills. Give me a hand," Leon changed the subject, oblivious to the emotions she was feeling. Snapping out of it, Renee suppressed her overwhelming emotions and said, "Sure." Leon walked over to the pot and lit the fire, before tossing the Rainbow Fruit and the Emperor Herb into it to start the process. He fired up his energy. While absorbing the energy from the Spiritual Pearl, he sent his spiritual energy into the pot to merge the herbs. Time ticked by and after a while, he gestured for Renee to toss in two herbs that had grown for three hundred years along with other precious herbs into the pot. He then controlled the herbs with his spiritual energy and merged them into pills. More time passed and the pot suddenly started shaking as beams of light darted out of it. Such a splendid scene amazed Renee. "It's done!" Leon sighed and withdrew his spiritual energy. With anticipation, he walked over and opened the pot. Inside, eigh
"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
