Theodore made it sound like things were already settled."What? Engaged?" "Is that a joke?!" Janice was shocked, and she hurriedly stood up.It was her first time meeting Theodore, and the two of them did not even have any mutual feelings. Furthermore, she did not like Theodore's arrogance.Yet, the first thing Theodore said was that he wanted to get engaged. How could she accept that?!"Mister Wyatt, you still don't know much about each other. Isn't it a bit too quick to get engaged?" Horace and Leanne were shocked as well."It's not. I fell for Miss Janice at first sight. That's enough!" Theodore looked at Janice passionately."I still feel like…" Horace wanted to say something else, but he was quickly interrupted by Theodore."That's nothing else to talk about! To show you my sincerity, there are three hundred thousand dollars in this bank account. Take it as an engagement gift!" Theodore took out an atm card and tossed it in front of Horace and Leanne.He never lacked
"Also, Mister Wyatt fell for you at first sight. He willingly put up three hundred thousand as an engagement gift. It's quite a show of sincerity. You should take this chance. Don't let it slip away!"Both Mindy and Joey tried to advise Janice.They just planned on testing the waters and were not hoping for too much. Yet, they were lucky enough that Theodore fell for Janice immediately.It suited them perfectly.As long as Janice agreed to be with Theodore, then Joey's family would be able to rely on the Wyatt Group. Their future would be incredibly bright!"Janice, your mother and the others are being quite reasonable. Even though you just got to know Mister Wyatt, feelings can be slowly built up. Why don't you get engaged to Mister Wyatt first, and slowly develop your feelings later?" Horace said after some hesitation.After all, Theodore's family was just too amazing. They were truly wealthy.If his daughter could be with Theodore, then she would live a life of luxury, free o
"No room for discussion? You weren't willing to find a boyfriend for yourself, and we helped you arrange for something. Is there anything wrong with that?" Leanne was angered."I already told you before. It's not like I don't want one. I just haven't found anyone suitable…" Janice was interrupted by her mother before she could finish."Enough, I don't want your excuses! I think that Mister Wyatt is a decent man. If you still see us as your parents, then listen to us. Get engaged to him and try it out first. If you refuse, then don't even bother coming back anymore. You can go wherever you want. We don't have a daughter like you!" Leanne said angrily."Mom, you…""Aren't you purposely making things hard for me?" Janice's eyes reddened at that moment.Her mother already escalated things so far. If she continued to refuse, she would seem like a bad daughter.However, if she agreed, it was not like she liked Theodore. She would not be able to accept it in her heart.Suddenly, she fe
However, since Janice already said it, he could not refute it."Joey, what's the meaning of this? Since she already has a boyfriend, why'd you arrange this blind date for me?!" Theodore looked at Joey angrily.Joey was startled and hurriedly explained, "Mister Wyatt, please don't be angry. Missus Lynch told me Janice was single."As he said that, Mindy and him shot Leanne a look, wanting to know what was happening."Don't listen to what Janice is saying! She doesn't have a boyfriend. She's saying this on purpose!" Leanne was furious.She knew her daughter very well, and she quickly knew what Janice tried to do."I'm not lying, everything I said is true. Leon is my boyfriend!" Janice said calmly."Stop trying to trick us! Didn't you tell us he was just a friend from college at home? Why is he suddenly your boyfriend now?! Do you think I'm so easy to fool?!" Leanne glared at her daughter, refusing to believe it."I was just worried that you and dad won't like Leon, and won't allo
Leon paused for a moment before he said seriously, "I know some alternative medicine. When I looked at your aura just now, it was quite dark all around. It's not a good omen.""If I'm not mistaken, you must have overindulged yourself, and your body has been ravaged by too much alcohol and sex. You're even struggling with some things that men can do…"I'm just giving you a warning. If you don't stop yourself, you might be crippled, or even die!" Leon briefly explained."What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard that.Even though Leon explained it more politely, everyone understood what Leon meant. Theodore's body was in a bad condition, and he was already unable to properly function when it came to relationships between men and women. Even his life was at stake.Only, they did not know if what Leon said was true.However, none of them saw Leon's medical skills before, so they all thought that Leon just made it up!"H-how did you know?" Theodore was shocked as he asked.Since
Theodore explained everything in a hurry."That does seem like it could be the case…" Everyone suddenly felt like what Theodore said was reasonable and started to doubt Leon's words.Especially both Leanne and Horace. The two of them already knew that Leon's job was just a secretary at a cosmetic company. He had nothing to do with medicine at all.Furthermore, Leon never checked on Theodore's body before he confirmed that something was wrong with it. There was no way it was real!"Mister Wyatt, that's where you're wrong! Alternative medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, and listening. I can see that you're sick through how you breathe and how you act. There's no need to check…" Leon explained, almost going into an explanation on the intricacies of the medicine he practiced."Just shut up! Brat, I'll give you ten seconds. Get lost right now! If you don't get lost, then don't blame me for being rude!" Theodore was already trembling in anger.Leon constantly tried to cau
Theodore's bodyguards were so big and strong. They were specialists. It would be easy for them to deal with a mere hooligan!"Alright, you can just continue then!"Janice nodded, giving way.What?Everyone was stunned. They thought that Janice would remain planted there. No one expected Janice to give way so obediently.It was out of their expectations.However, it was a good thing. At least Janice would not be accidentally harmed if they started fighting!"Attack!" "Break one of this brat's legs as punishment!" Theodore sneered, no longer having any reservations as he ordered his subordinates to attack."Brat, you're going down"! The two bodyguards smiled viciously. They had a very fierce aura around them as they quickly lunged at Leon.Bang! Bang! Following two loud sounds, everyone felt like they saw things. Leon was as fast as lightning as he sent out two kicked, hitting the chests of the two bodyguards.They rushed at Leon quickly, but they flew away at an even faste
After everything that happened, he built some connections for himself. Other than the Youngs, he had a good relationship with the Wicks and the Shears as well.The Shears were not just close to him, but they were even business partners.With his connections, he might not be able to compete with some heir of a major family, but someone like Theodore was beneath his notice!"My money and power give me that courage! You injured my bodyguards just now. It's already assault. I'll have the police arrest you! Then, you're free to enjoy things at the police station!" Theodore laughed as he pulled out his phone."You…""Wyatt, you were the one who was trying to attack Leon first. Why are you pinning the blame on him now? You're shameless!" Janice was shocked. She started to get furious. She saw some shameless people before, but no one as shameless as Theodore!"It doesn't matter who started things. Based on the law, if you've injured someone, you should at least pay for the hospital bills
"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
