At the very least, his conscience would not let that happen.

"I don't care who you are, get lost right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Joseph was furious. He was so angry that he wanted to rip Leon apart.

Leon was very hesitant.

He had Iris behind him, so he was not afraid of Joseph's threats. However, Iris already made it clear that he was not to reveal the relationship, nor did she want him to do as he pleased in the company.

Joseph was still his direct superior in name in the end. Furthermore, Joseph was also one of the more powerful people in the company. He was in control of a lot of the company's profits.

It would not be good for him to end up in conflict with his superior the very first day he started working.

If the issue ended up being escalated further and it affected the company in any way, Iris's impression of him would be greatly affected.

Seeing Leon not saying anything back. Joseph thought that Leon was scared. He laughed and said, "What are you st

    Smack!Leon clutched his face when he felt the burning pain on his face. He was furious. He knew that Joseph did that on purpose!However, he was already used to being ridiculed and humiliated while he was with the Mansons. The Mansons also made him meek.Facing Joseph's actions, he chose to swallow up his anger."What are you looking at?! Hurry up and pick up the pieces. Clean this up!" Joseph berated.Leon held back his fury as he knelt down to pick up the shattered mug."Trying to fight me? You need to grow a pair of eyeballs, dog. You're still too young for that!" Joseph laughed coldly and he stepped on Leon's hand, pushing his feet down.Sharp shards were beneath Leon's palm. He felt a surge of pain as those fragments immediately pierced through his palm, causing him to bleed.Leon sucked in a breath as he pulled back his hand incredibly quickly and forcefully.Joseph stepped on Leon's hand with one of his feet. He was caught off guard and ended up slipping, falling on hi

    Donald was Joseph's distant nephew, and the company only employed him to become the head of security because Joseph was the one who brought him in.It was understood that he would never disobey Joseph's order."Damn you! How dare you lay a finger on my uncle! You're dead meat! Fellas, smack this kid and beat the crap out of him! I'll take responsibility if he kicks the bucket today!" Donald shouted angrily. He took out the rubber baton he carried with him and took the lead to deliver a barrage of attacks on Leon.The other security guards also pulled out their rubber batons and rushed violently toward Leon."Be careful!"Lily was rattled by the sight of what happened.It was because Leon wanted to help her that the conflict with Leon happened.Now that the situation was out of control, she became anxious and had no idea what to do.Donald was once well-known as a hired thug, and he had no problem going against five or six people and coming out unscathed. He previously did time

    Donald might have failed to get revenge on Joseph's behalf, but the latter could still get one last chance to vent his anger by chasing Leon out of the company.To top it off, Leon would lose the company's protection and intervention if he was fired, thus paving the way for Joseph to call the police and have Leon arrested."You? Firing me? As if you have the authority!"Leon glared coldly at Joseph and walked slowly toward him."What are you doing? I'm warning you! D-d-don't you dare come any closer..."Joseph continued to back away and a bad feeling rose faintly from his heart."I have this urge to beat you up again because looking at you is pissing me off!" Leon sneered. The situation went so far past the point of no return that there was nothing for him to be scared of anymore.It would feel so good if he could teach Joseph a lesson and vent all that anger on the man.After all, Leon clearly remembered that Joseph wanted him dead.He believed that everything would be wort

    Lily trembled uncontrollably, for she knew that Joseph held a high position in the company. Even if she told the truth, the most Ariel could do to Joseph was reprimand him, and it was not like any severe action would be taken against him.Things would only go south from then on because Joseph would almost certainly exercise his authority to fire her!Lily began to hesitate when she thought about her sick mother on the hospital bed, her younger brother's tuition fees, and the high hopes all her relatives placed on her."Go on. Tell me," Ariel urged."I... Mister Conrad and I were just discussing work in the office. He didn't do anything inappropriate..." It was challenging for Lily to say that. She lowered her head the entire time and did not dare to look at Leon.Despite her eternal gratitude to Leon for saving her, the burden of being fired was too heavy a consequence for her to bear. There was nothing else she could do other than apologize to Leon in her heart."Huh?"Her stat

    "I've made it very clear that I won't accept it! Are you deliberately trying to protect this kid, Miss Summers?" Joseph's expression sank. He insisted on handing Leon over to the police because that was the only way he could douse the burning flames of anger in his heart!Ariel was irritated by Joseph's unrelenting insistence. "Mister Conrad, I've repeatedly discussed this with you in an amicable manner and treated you with the utmost respect and dignity. Please don't cross the line!""Leon is Iri— I mean, my friend! The point is, this matter is now behind us regardless of whether or not you agree!"Ariel was a little annoyed, more so because it was that time of the month. As a result, she could care less about whether or not it would cause an uproar.Sure enough, her remark carried a different meaning when everyone else heard it.The onlookers began to gossip as soon as Ariel said that."I get it now!""I guess it's no surprise then that this kid was brave enough to challenge M

    "That wasn't what happened. Mister Conrad was the one who made advances on his subordinate..."Leon had a bitter look on his face as he retold the story, but he remained incredibly uneasy because it would be difficult to win Iris's trust if Lily were to side with Joseph."That is outright slander, Miss Young! Miss Cameron and I were discussing work at that time. She can vouch for me..." Joseph rushed to defend himself."Is Mister Conrad telling the truth, Miss Cameron?"Iris gestured for Lily to come up to her."Yes..."Lily lowered her head. She was afraid to make eye contact with Iris, and most of all, Leon."Do you have anything else to say, Leon?" Iris looked calmly at Leon."I... No."Leon sighed. He felt despair that was beyond words.Iris was both pissed and amused that Leon drooped his head like a defeated rooster.The difference between herself and Ariel was that she understood Leon's character better.Leon might not have any talent or ability, but he had a morally

    "So, you were the one who started it, Joseph!"Iris flew into a rage and stared fiercely at Joseph.Joseph never dreamed that things would come to that point, and his face turned ashen in the blink of an eye!Nevertheless, he regained his composure rather quickly thanks to his wealth of experience in facing intimidating individuals!"Miss Young, the fact that Miss Cameron retracted her statement all of a sudden even though she already vouched for my story earlier is a clear sign that nothing she says is credible! You've always handled everything with objectivity as our company's president, so how could you be sure of my guilt based on merely a few one-sided remarks from Miss Cameron?" Joseph argued."Is that so hard for you to accept?"Iris smiled, albeit with a hint of iciness."You're damn right it is! I'm one of the company's old-timers, and during the past few years, I've worked so hard for the company without even taking any credit for it! This kid, on the other hand, is a

    "Understood!"The security guards that were beaten by Leon brewed with anger earlier, and after knowing that Joseph was the one at fault, they immediately channeled all their anger on Joseph.They all grabbed Joseph and Donald and dragged them forcibly like a dog being dragged to be euthanized!Upon seeing that scene, Lily's emotions were all over the place and she had difficulty trying to calm herself down.She never dreamed that Leon would be Iris's savior, and she was even more surprised when Iris unhesitatingly fired a company executive like Joseph to give Leon justice!If she knew that Leon had such capability and backing, she would have ignored her fear of Joseph and refrained from helping him frame Leon!It was such a shame that she realized it a little too late!"I'm sorry, Mister Wolf. I'm sorry for not repaying your kindness even though you saved me... I now know that I was wrong, and I wish to sincerely apologize to you..."Lily felt so overcome with guilt and regret

    "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
