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
"So, I might not be able to focus solely on the pills just yet..." Leon said hesitantly.He did not want to leave Elegante Group mainly because of Iris. Though he wanted to run a business on his own, Iris still meant more to him than his career."Um..." Benedict and the Shear siblings were all taken by surprise when he heard Leon's request.Leon was officially the head of the pharmaceutical firm with his possession of sixty percent of the share and instead of gloating about the position, he preferred to work as a secretary.It was a strange request, to say the least, and Leon was aware of it. He flushed and added, "Don't worry, though. I have some effective formulas that I can hand over to the company for mass production. As far as the alchemical pills the firm needs, I'll give it my best and won't cause any delay...""Okay... Sure. If you have those formulas, that would be the best!" Benedict was overjoyed. Knowing how talented Leon was, he knew that the formulas Leon provided woul
Taking the beauty pills would slow aging; the life-prolonging pulls and nurturing pills would improve one's immune system and prolong lifespan; the styptic pills would work wonders for external injuries while the circulation pills would be effective on internal injuries...."Will these be enough?" Leon asked.He had plenty more recipes in his mind, but as his power level was too low he could only produce some of the simpler pills and was not capable of producing pills of a higher level just yet."These are pretty great, but not enough to capture the public's eyes..." Benedict scowled.He knew just how talented Leon was, and was certain that the pills he proposed would work a hundredfold better than other supplements with great demand in the market. However, the pills that Leon proposed had a more prolonged effect and might not be beneficial to bring attention to the company's name.An idea happened to Leon. "I've come across quite a few martial artists recently and I can make som
