They all thought that Leon would be left with no choice but to get down on his knees and apologize once the Descending Tiger arrived; what they did not expect to see was the Descending Tiger, Master Shelton, kneel instead.'Wh- What is going on? Has the Descending Tiger lost his mind?' Everyone thought as silence loomed over the crowd, shooting one another strange looks as they gaped."Master Shelton, what are you doing? This brat..." Mister White muttered in disbelief.Mason interrupted him immediately. "How dare you?!" He got up and slapped Mister White in the face. "Do you know who this is? He's Mister Wolf! How dare you call him a brat? Kneel and apologize! Beg for Mister Wolf's forgiveness!"Sensing how furious Mason was, Mister White shivered and kneeled. "Mis- Mister Wolf, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you..."The crowd was stunned as they thought to themselves, 'Who's this kid to intimidate the Descending Tiger to such an extent?! It's just unbelievable!'Naturally,
He noticed that it was a personal grudge, and though he did not want to get involved, Mason was technically his subordinate so he could not stand idly by. All concerns aside, his level was approaching that of the Intermediate Innate State and with Mason's help, they should be able to defeat Xander."That’s great!" Mason was overjoyed. He thought that Leon was a Supreme Master and with his help, Xander would not stand a chance."Wow, more drama! Annie, Lacey, let's go and check it out!" Louisa said excitedly. She always appreciated chaos and refused to miss the drama. She grabbed Annie and Lacey's hands and hurried out of the bar after Mason and Leon.Sensing what was about to happen, some of the customers hastily paid their bills before leaving, while some of the braver ones headed outside, including Joseph.Though he made a fool of himself earlier, Louisa was simply far too beautiful for him to give up. As long as he found a way to get her number, he would have tricks to change he
As Mason's territories overlapped with some of Xander, there were conflicts between the two for years as they fought over territories.Mason had eight areas under his control at first, but his power level stopped growing ever since he was injured by Xander six years ago, which Xander saw as an opportunity to slowly eat up half of Mason's territories over the years. In the present, Mason was merely left with three major areas to his name.Fortunately for him, he had the Southern King's protection and Xander could only move slowly to take over his territories instead of killing him right away.However, due to the shrinking of his territories, the profit Mason was capable of offering to the Southern King declined and as he failed to grow any stronger throughout the years, he was no longer as important to the Southern King. He was merely a man who worked for the Southern King and without any value to offer, he became a pawn that could be easily cast aside.No longer concerned about the
He finally understood why Mason acted so lowly in front of Leon. It was because Leon was a Supreme Master at such a young age.Apart from Mister White, everyone else was confused. Being ordinary people with no in-depth knowledge of martial arts, they had no clue as to what a Supreme Master was. It sounded intimidating, but they would not know anything unless they saw it with their own eyes.Louisa, on the other hand, beamed as she stared at Leon heatedly."Mason, did you just say that this brat is a Supreme Master?" Xander pointed at Leon with an odd look on his face, before bursting into laughter.He obtained all details about Leon and knew that Leon was an orphaned good-for-nothing and that he was not even a martial artist. Considering Leon's age, if he was truly a Supreme Master, he would be well-known as a rare talent amongst people his age, yet Xander never heard Leon's name.All evidence pointed to the fact that Leon could not possibly be a Supreme Master."What are you lau
He never expected Mason to reach the level of Intermediate Innate State and was caught off-guard."Mason, you sure have hidden your true power well throughout the years. Seems like I'll have to do my best today!" Xander's expression darkened as the murderous urges in his eyes intensified.Mason reached the same level as him and he had to eliminate Mason immediately, or he might risk Mason growing even stronger in the future."Mister Wolf, I'll leave Xander to you!" Mason blurted out as he forced the two men to back away. As a martial artist in the Intermediate Innate State, he could deal with two men in their Initial Innate State with ease. So long as Leon helped to defeat Xander, Mason was confident that he could turn the table entirely."But I..." Leon muttered. At this point, it was too late for him to run. Unfortunately, he was close to reaching the Intermediate Innate State and he simply needed to stall Xander with all his might, so that Mason would join forces with him once h
"This is between us and the Shear Family has no part in this. It's inappropriate for you to interfere!" Xander's expression darkened.The Four Major Families steered clear of any conflicts in the gangster world. The Four Tigers were all known for their ruthlessness and Xander had the Northern King's support; while he was wary of the Shear Family's influence, he was not intimidated by Harvey."And if I insist on interfering? What can you do about it?" Harvey retorted proudly."Why you... Alright, then! Mason, and Leon, you two got lucky today. I'll let you go out of respect for Mister Shear! Let's go!" Xander knew that he could not cross the Shear Family and swallowed his pride, before ordering his two men to back away."You want to leave? Did I permit you to do so?" Harvey questioned sharply."What else do you want, Mister Shear?" Xander's expression darkened but did not dare to let his anger show."You've offended Mister Wolf just now. Get down on your knees and apologize!" Harve
"Also, who's that Leon kid? He seems pretty close with the Shear siblings. Is he a member of the Shear Family as well?"...While the crowd admired Cynthia's beauty, they grew more curious about Leon's identity and realized that even if he was not a member of the Shear Family, he must be someone important.Mason felt the same. He only agreed to be Leon's subordinate merely because he appreciated the great favor that Leon did him. He never imagined that not only was Leon a Supreme Master, but he also had a connection with one of the Four Major Families.Mason felt as though he happened upon a piece of treasure. With Leon at his back, it would be extremely easy for him to recover his territories from Xander.Excited, Mason grinned from ear to ear, and on the extreme opposite of that, Joseph observed the situation with a dark look on his face.He planned to find a chance in approaching Louisa but cowered as soon as he realized that Leon came from a powerful background. He thought bac
Leon followed the Shear siblings to the living and saw Benedict waiting.At the time when Leon successfully produced the alchemical pills, Benefit immediately had an idea of working with him.Since all the preparation was in place, he decided to invite Leon over for further discussion.After greeting one another, they all took their seats."Leon, about our collaboration on the alchemical pills, I've purchased a pharmaceutical firm and I plan to invest 130 million into it. Cynthia will represent the Shear Family in the collaboration with you. This company will focus on selling all forms of medication and we will leave the production of high-end alchemical pills to you..." Benedict said.The Shear Family ran the biggest supply chain for raw materials needed for medicine in all cities in the area but never launched their line of products.Leon was skilled in medicine and knew all forms of medication, which would be proven useful in changing that and broadening the Shear Family's infl
"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
