Samuel slammed his palms onto the desk with a dark expression."Dad, a brat by the name of Leon Wolf tricked me. He reported to the Wick Group and caused this loss to our company..." Brody explained the situation. He knew that Leon was just a helpless orphan and did not think that he would possess the influence to command Jenson, so Brody merely thought that his act of raising the products' prices had enraged the Wick Group and Jenson was merely doing what duty commanded."Who is Leon Wolf? Sullivan Enterprises has no beef with him, so why would he report us?" Samuel asked."He's Marilyn's ex-husband and he has a grudge toward me..." Brody said gingerly."Marilyn's ex-husband? No wonder! I told you over and over again to marry a virtuous, innocent woman. You just wouldn't listen and went to find yourself a married woman! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Samuel growled as he turned to glare at Marilyn in contempt and disgust.The Manson Family was hardly a match for the S
Brody was concerned, feeling traumatized from his previous encounters with Leon."Relax, I will take charge of this and everything will go smoothly! Sometimes, violence isn't the solution and you need to be smart about it!" Samuel pointed at his head."Be smart about it?" Brody repeated in confusion."Everyone has their weaknesses. Once we find his, he can the greatest fighter alive and it still won't help him!" Samuel said.Brody's eyes lit up as he giggled excitedly. "I get it. He might be an orphan, but he's just gotten himself a new girlfriend. We just need to target his girlfriend and his death is certain!""Atta' boy!" Samuel burst into laughter."Dad, I think there's more to Leon than you realize. He managed to turn the Wick Group against us with ease and possesses superhuman strength. He's not the same man as he was and I'm worried that he might have more tricks up his sleeves! I think that we should just let this pass before we enrage him!" Marilyn said hesitantly.She
"Wh- Who are you?" Leon ran around the room in the most discomfited manner possible."I. Am. Your. Worst. Nightmare!" The young woman gritted out in rage. Realizing that she could not catch up to Leon, she grabbed whatever was closest to her and flung them toward him.The room turned into a mess within a blink of an eye.The noises soon caught the attention of Iris, who was upstairs.She had probably come out of the shower and walked down in a skin-tight silk gown with wet hair like a mermaid that had just come onto shore."Louisa, Leon, what are you two doing?" She was shocked to find the room in its state."Cousin Iris!" The young woman threw herself into Iris's arms."C- Cousin?! Iris, this is your cousin?" Leon was shocked and impressed at the same time. It was no wonder that the young woman was as beautiful as a fairy. Apparently, beauty ran in Iris's family."Yeah. Allow me to introduce you. This is my cousin, Louisa Greene. Louisa, this is Leon." Iris introduced the two
"He is my secretary and he is living here for now," Iris explained."He lives here? Is he your boyfriend? Are you two officially moving in together?" Louisa was shocked and scanned Leon up and down, unable to find anything special about him that might be able to impress a beauty like Iris."What are you talking about?? We are just friends. Shut it!" Iris flushed."Really? I don't believe a word of that!" Louisa said suspiciously."Leon saved my life once and since he didn't have a place to stay, I told him that he can stay here for now..." Iris said."I see. Lewd, why haven't you left up until now? Are you going after my cousin?" Louisa stared at Leon warily.Leon's heart sank, but he was not going to admit that he liked Iris, so he smiled and said, "my name is Leon, not Lewd...""Hmph! Whatever! I am calling you Lewd anyway! A lewd man who is after my cousin!" Louisa snorted.She knew that her cousin was breath-takingly beautiful and any man would fall for her, so Leon would n
He felt awkward."I thought that you were useless, but you are worse than I originally thought!" Louisa rolled her eyes. "It's a good thing that I just got my license during the summer vacation, unlike you!" She lifted her chin proudly as she opened the door of the car next to her and went inside.Leon flushed, slightly taken off-guard by Louisa's odd temper; however, since Iris had entrusted her cousin with him, he had to follow through and reluctantly went into the car....In Springfield University, Leon and Louisa arrived early, but it still took hours for them to complete all the necessary procedures for admission.Louisa ran into two of her high school schoolmates that got into Springfield University as well.Both of her schoolmates were young women. One of them was called Annie Holt, a woman with an above-average look, but a tall, slim build complimented by fashionable clothing, so one could assume that she came from a rather wealthy family; the other by the name of Lacey
"You bumpkin! We are all of age now, so why can't we go?" Louisa straightened her back proudly.When she was younger, her parents kept a close eye on her and she could not go to a bar, but she was recently freed from their restraints and had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday.For someone as playful as Louisa, she was determined to go to a bar out of curiosity."Yeah, we are technically adults now." Annie itched to go as well.Both Annie and Louisa came from wealthy families and were more prone to seeking excitement."Let's not. Those places are dangerous. Let's not go..." Lacey whispered."What's there to fear? This is a civilized society. A bar is just a similar thing to a karaoke club! Lacey, don't worry. This is my treat! Let's have some fun!" Louisa said, before grabbing her friends by the arms and leading them out of the campus."No. You can't go to a bar!" Leon darted up to stand in their ways."Move away! Stay out of my way! We can go anywhere we want! If you don't
Many stared at Leon in jealousy.Leon ignored the crowd and ordered drinks with mild alcohol content and some fruits.Louisa and the other two were just students and had no habit of drinking. They had only come to the bar out of curiosity, so they did not argue with his choice of drinks.Just then, Leon's phone started to vibrate. He took it out and saw Cynthia's name on the screen.Since the music inside the bar was too loud, he could not answer the call inside.Leon let the three women next to him know, before heading outside to answer the phone call.As soon as he left, the other customers immediately started eyeing the three like they were preys.A tall, muscular man in his early twenties hurried over with a glass of cocktail in hand."Hello, ladies. Do I have the pleasure of being friends with you?" The young man said and shot them a charming smile.Seeing how he did not seem to be a bad person, Louisa hesitated, before nodding. "Sure.""Really? I'm so glad!" The young m
"Lewd, what do you think you are doing? Joseph is my new friend and we are talking about martial arts. Get out of the way!" Louisa roared in irritation and shoved at Leon, but could not manage to shove him aside."No way! Louisa, one look and anyone can tell that he's a bad person. Don't get fooled!" Leon said."Who are you calling a bad person?" Joseph was furious, but could tell that Leon was Louisa's acquaintance, so he calmed himself and asked, "Louisa, who is this? Who is he to you?""Oh, he's just a servant at my cousin's. Not worthy of our time..." Louisa snorted in contempt."Just a servant, huh?" Joseph sneered and waved his fist. "Brat, I'm warning you. Go away, or I'm going to beat your ass!""As if you can!" Leon chuckled. As a person surpassing the Initial Innate State, he had no fear for the likes of Joseph."How dare you?!" Enraged, Joseph raised his arm, eager to teach Leon a lesson while showcasing his strength in front of Louisa.Louisa sat back with a smirk. S
"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
