"Not so fast! You can run, but you can't hide!" Leon caught sight of him making his sneaky escape and quickly swallowed a Spirit Nurturing Pill to replenish his spiritual energy just in time. With his renewed energy, he once again employed his Phantom Steps and bounded lithely toward Central Boss at breakneck speed. However, he paused just halfway there, as though something occurred to him, and reached into his coat, shouting, "Central Boss, take this!"With a swipe, he sent three small knives soaring through the air, their blades glinting maliciously as they pierced through the air and pummeled straight toward Central Boss, the tips of their blades aimed precariously at the square of his back!"Oh no!" Central Boss risked a quick look behind him when he sensed the knives behind him. His first instinct, upon seeing the knives bearing down on him, was to land on the ground to dodge them, but he knew that once his feet were back on the ground, Leon would be hot on his heels, and he
Leon, however, ignored their blatant shock and instead made his way to Howser and Isaac. "Mr. Janson, may I ask you for a favor?" he said, smiling with such kindness that it came as a stark contrast to the dark, malicious scowl on his face when facing Central Boss."Of course, Mr. Wolf. Please let us know how we may assist you!" Howser said, a look of sheer respect on his face. The martial world always bowed down to the strongest. The Micahs and the Jansons were among the four most powerful families in the Central Region, and yet Leon single-handedly defeated so many of the Micahs, rendering Central Boss so frightened that he made a hurried escape. This was a strong indicator of just how powerful Leon was, and neither Howser nor Isaac dared to underestimate him. As stunned as they were initially, they were both now utterly in awe of him and were glad to be of service to him. "Well, the thing is, there are so many members of the Micah family that I can't possibly tackle them all
"Grandpa, you're finally here!" Howser was overjoyed to see his grandfather and immediately approached him. "Howser, didn't you call me here for a rescue mission? What, what happened here?" Percival was in utter disbelief when he arrived at the scene. Howser sent Severin back to warn Percival of the imminent danger in hopes that he would lead the Jansons over to aid Leon, but who would have thought Leon perfectly capable of taking on the Micahs all by himself? He did not need Percival's help at all, and this was evident in the absolute chaos and disarray that the place was left in, as well as Leon's striking absence from the scene.Percival did not expect this at all, and he struggled to understand what happened. "Grandpa, it turns out that Mr. Wolf is far more powerful than I ever could've imagined. Not only did the Micahs fail to take him down, but he single-handedly managed to defeat all of them," Howser replied, looking rather sheepish, then proceeded to explain everything t
"Who's out there?" Wulfric overheard the scuffling outside his door and immediately put down the books which he was burying his head in just a few seconds prior. He glanced sharply in the direction of the door, just in time to see Central Boss tumbling into his house, looking alarmed."It is I, Master Brahma…" Central Boss said, hastily disguising his nervousness and instead bowing low to show his respect towards Wulfric. "It's you, Central Boss! What brings you here all of a sudden?" Wulfric replied, his brows furrowed in slight annoyance. Central Boss was one of his clones that he spent decades nurturing, and was usually in charge of overseeing his other subordinates while they helped him get his hands on the Martial Techniques and Power Methods he needed. With Central Boss' help, he managed to evade the Dragon Corps' capture all these years, providing an alias that would rid the Chanters of any suspicion of criminal activity.Because of this, he also rarely reached out to Cent
"Mm, okay."Upon hearing Wulfric's agreement, Central Boss immediately felt much more at ease. As a clone of Brahma, he was quite familiar with Wulfric's situation and knew that Wulfric's power level already reached the super state of Saint State!Although Leon was very strong, after the two fights, he already saw that Leon's power level was only at The Semi-Saint State at most, which was still quite some distance from the legendary Saint State.Thus, he was sure that with Wulfric's power level in The Saint State, he would be able to kill Leon and help avenge him!"Oh, by the way, your power level is a bit too low and you have not yet reached the true Semi-Saint State! In the next two days, I'll find a way to help you level up and break through to The Semi-Saint State! After I get rid of Leon, you should be able to rise again and rebuild your family with your strength," said Wulfric after some thought.Upon hearing this, Central Boss was overjoyed and quickly thanked Wulfric respe
"Master Brahma, what happened?"At that moment, Central Boss came out of the room, his expression a mix of confusion and uncertainty. He had no idea what happened."Nothing, perhaps I was just seeing things," Wulfric frowned, his expression slightly easing. He vaguely sensed that someone was spying on them from outside the room but the reality proved there was no one there.Of course, with his formidable power at The Saint State, if there truly were someone outside, they would not have been able to evade his attack and keen eyesight!Since there was no one outside, he figured that he might have been momentarily paranoid about Leon, leading to a misjudgment.Aside from that, he could not think of any other possibilities!As for Central Boss, he believed he successfully escaped Leon's clutches and was unaware that Leon possessed the Soul Searcher, a pill adept at tracking.Even if beaten to death, he would never have thought that Leon secretly tracked him! Thus, he did not take th
"Mister Wolf, you say Brahma's true identity is someone from the Chanters. Is this true? Could. you be mistaken?" Zach could not help but ask.Roderick and the other Central Region Dragon Corps fighters' expressions became serious when they heard the question."I'm not mistaken. It is true," replied Leon with a nod.Earlier, when he called Pierre, he did not have time to explain in detail. Now that Pierre and the others arrived, he recounted how he defeated Central Boss and tracked him to find Brahma's true identity."So Brahma's true identity is Wulfric! No wonder we couldn't find any useful clues even after investigating for so many years!"After listening, Pierre's face turned very grim.Wulfric was the highest-ranking figure in the Chanter family, a generation above Aiken Chanter, the head of the Chanter family. However, it was rumored that Wulfric went into seclusion more than twenty years ago. He withdrew himself from all worldly affairs, and to that day, very few people kn
"Pierre, what do you suggest then?" Zach asked."In my opinion, we need to strategize carefully. I plan to visit the Jansons and the Suttons later to see if I can persuade them to send fighters to assist us in dealing with the Chanters. If both families are willing to help, it would make this situation much easier."Pierre paused for a moment before continuing, "The Jansons and the Suttons, like the Chanters, are among the Three Major Families of the Central Region, with substantial strength and resources. With their support, it would be three against one which would greatly increase our chances at success.""Yeah, that sounds like the best approach," said Zach with a nod, finding Pierre's plan more prudent."Mister Wolf, there's something else I want to discuss with you. I've made some progress on your previous request for us to help find the Supreme spiritual herb Heavenly Flower. If everything goes well, we should be able to locate the Heavenly Flower in about a week," Pierre sh
