"Um, what? These are just useless scum. It's not a big deal," Leon snapped out of it and said casually, not at all threatened by the others. His words caused a stir in the crowd. "What the? Has he gone mad?" "How dare he say that in front of three powerful families?" "How arrogant can he be?" ... Once the others snapped out of the initial shock, they all turned to Leon in disbelief. When they learned that Leon crossed the Fermers, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods, they already recognized that Leon was arrogant. Still, they now realized they underestimated Leon. Not only was Leon not threatened by the situation at all, but he also mocked the three families and called them scums. This was practically suicidal. None of them could comprehend what gave Leon the courage to do so. "Why you-" Caleb's face turned green from rage. He initially hoped that Leon would think of a solution or lessen his burden, but to his surprise, Leon provoked their opponents further. I
"Umm…"Upon hearing this, Caleb's complexion turned an uncertain shade of pale green. He knew full well that the Morrisons' Mansion could never stand up against the forces of the Fermers, Grimstons, and Underwoods. Continuing to shelter Leon would be akin to walking straight into a death trap.However, the Cynthion Group was a partner of the Morrisons' Mansion, and he had publicly declared his support for Leon in the face of the Fermers just moments ago. As the esteemed head of the Morrisons' Mansion, going back on his word in front of numerous ancient martial family forces would be a betrayal of trust. The Morrisons' Mansion would likely become a laughingstock if he did so – a situation he could not bear to witness.With these thoughts in mind, he found himself in a quandary, unsure of how to proceed. "Dad, I've advised you before; the Morrisons' Mansion should steer clear of the feud between Leon and the Fermers. But you refused to listen!"However, there's still some room for
"Elder Daglesh, it's you!""What do you mean by that?""So, are you saying the Dagleshs also want to protect Leon?"Elder Daglesh suddenly intervened, and his words seemingly indicated a defense for Leon. Seeing this, Dorian and Cassius's faces darkened. Their expressions were uncertain, unable to fathom why Elder Daglesh would stand up for Leon!"That's right. President Wolf is a friend of our Dagleshs!"If the Grimstons, Underwoods, and Fermers want to harm President Wolf relying on numbers and power, then you'll have to get past the Dagleshs first!"Elder Daglesh snorted coldly, his tone resolute, leaving no room for doubt.Leon had once saved his life, a debt of gratitude he held dear.He had always remembered this kindness.Out of gratitude towards Leon, he had initially intended to intervene when Felton and his men were attacking Leon earlier!However, Caleb had stepped forward first, timely preventing Felton and the others from harming Leon. So he had restrained himsel
"Felton, the Dagleshs's decisions are not up to you to meddle in!" Elder Daglesh said coldly, not showing any favor to Felton."In any case, if your three families intend to harm President Wolf, our Dagleshs will not stand idly by!" Elder Daglesh continued, his tone firm."Elder Daglesh speaks well!" Caleb chimed in promptly. "If you wish to oppress President Wolf, you'll have to get through both our Morrisons' Mansion and the Dagleshs first!""You..." Felton exploded in anger, but there was nothing he could do."Elder Daglesh, Caleb, you two don't need to be so arrogant!" Dorian sneered. "Even if your two families protect Leon by force, so what? Our situation is two against three. Do you think your two families stand a chance?"Though Leon had the support of the Morrisons and Dagleshs, they were up against a coalition of three major powers. That was not all!Due to the lack of preparation from the Morrisons and Dagleshs, Caleb only brought two elder members and some mid-level
"Elder Daglesh, I never expected your cultivation to break through to the Advanced Almighty State!" exclaimed one."Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!" replied another.While Dorian and Cassius, the two elders, reacted with some difference, Caleb, the old master, was overjoyed beyond measure. He knew well that although the difference between the Advanced and Intermediate Almighty State was merely a small step in the realm of martial cultivation, each level-up represented a qualitative leap in strength. Typically, an Almighty State in the Advanced state could handle at least two or three in the Intermediate state.Now that Elder Daglesh had reached the Advanced state himself, boasting profound prowess and standing out even among his peers, the combination of his and the old master's formidable abilities could bridge the gap between their families and the Grimstons, Underwoods, and Fermers. With their strength, it became uncertain who held the upper hand."How is this possible...
"It's no wonder Elder Daglesh was willing to risk going against the three major powers just to shelter Leon!""Ah, I see.""Yeah, who would've thought Leon, a young nobody, would have the ability to assist an Intermediate Almighty State master in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck!""His methods are indeed remarkable!"After the shock wore off, the crowd erupted into chatter. Previously, they were puzzled as to why the Dagleshs would stick their neck out for Leon, who had no ties to them. But now, it all made sense. Leon had helped Elder Daglesh elevate his cultivation to the Advanced Almighty State!Of course, that was not the main point. What astounded them was the unheard-of feat of aiding a martial artist in advancing their cultivation, especially assisting a master at the Warlord level in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck.Leon accomplishing this was nothing short of a miracle!However, that's not all. Among the various ancient martial families attend
"Damn it!""How could this happen?"It was not just Felton. Both Dorian and Cassius also realized that the situation had taken a turn. Their faces soured, helpless expressions painted across them."Dorian, Cassius, both Caleb and I have reached the Advanced Almighty State in our cultivation!""Do you still think that our Dagleshs and Morrisons' Mansion stand no chance against you and the Underwoods?" At this moment, Elder Daglesh sneered mockingly."Well..."Dorian and Cassius fell silent, unable to respond."Dorian, Cassius, out of goodwill towards our shared humanity, I'll give you a piece of advice."If the two of you, along with Felton, choose to leave now, we can pretend this never happened."Otherwise, we'll have to settle matters by force."Seeing that Dorian and the others had lost their earlier arrogance, Caleb seized the opportunity to speak. Despite their superior cultivation levels, he and Elder Daglesh were not without concerns. "To hurt the enemy at the cost
"Leon, you got lucky today, with both the Morrisons and Dagleshs protecting you. I'll let you off the hook for now!" He sneered, "But next time, luck won't be on your side like this!""Dorian, Cassius, let's go!" Before leaving, Felton dropped a menacing remark, and then signaled to Dorian and Cassius to retreat together."That ordeal finally comes to an end," Leon remarked. "Thankfully, it was all just a false alarm, much ado about nothing." Watching Felton and the others prepare to leave, both Caleb and Grandfather Elder Daglesh could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the weight lifted off their shoulders.However, the next moment brought something incredibly surprising before their thoughts could settle."Leaving so soon?" Leon, who had been silent until then, snorted coldly. Stepping forward swiftly, he immediately blocked Felton and Dorian's path."What's the meaning of this, Leon?" Felton's expression darkened, his gaze towards Leon filled with displeasure."
