These two men were yet to complete their full martial arts training, and therefore were no match for Mason at all. Not only that but now that they witnessed Xander being defeated so easily by Leon, they grew even more desolate. Noticing this, Mason quickly intensified his tactics and snuck up on them while they were partly distracted by the commotion, punching one while doing a backflip and kicking the other at the same time. The two martial artists slumped onto the ground in defeat! "Is that true? Is he one of the Supreme Masters?" Xander gaped. Before this, he was doubtful of Mason's claims as he deemed Leon too young to be a member of the realm of Supreme Masters, but now, he could not wonder if it was true. The fact that Leon easily defeated him—an experienced and skilled martial artist, was proof that Leon's training far surpassed his. "I can't believe how naïve you are, Xander Long! You could have picked a fight with anyone, yet you chose to do so with a Supreme Ma
This realization made him lose all ounce of his confidence in his abilities and he could not even muster the courage to defend himself. "I've already said this before—I will stop at nothing to take revenge for Janice's sake! I'm a man of my word!" Leon declared curtly, his voice dripping with malice so cold it made everyone's hair stand on end. "You… Don't you dare! I'm warning you; I'm a loyal servant of the Northern King. If you dare to even lay a finger on me, you won't get away with this!" Xander said, trying to appear more confident than he felt. At the thought of the Northern King, he could not help feeling a little more reassured. "The Northern King?" Leon furrowed his brows and immediately fell silent. No matter how skilled he was at combat, he was still no match for someone like the Northern King, and thus, it would not be smart of him to cross the Northern King. However, Xander was the mastermind behind Janice's kidnapping and even almost led to Janice's digni
"The Northern King's son?" Leon was utterly shocked by this. He never expected the Northern King's son to show up all of a sudden. "Who are you, punk?" Jacob swept his gaze onto Leon's face, staring at him with a haughty look. "Master Lowe, this man's name is Leon Wolf, an orphan with nothing to his name, but he's very good in combat…" Xander explained quickly. Just as he was about to add that Leon was also a member of the realm of Supreme Masters, however, Jacob interrupted him. "How dare you disrespect my father like this, you nobody!" he scoffed. "That's right! Master Lowe, this punk injured me just because I'm not as good as him in combat, and also disrespected the Northern King's name. you have to avenge me…" Xander immediately recognized that this was the perfect opportunity to call for aid. "I'll give you one chance, you punk! If you get on your knees to apologize right now and break your arm in compensation for what you did to Xander, I'll show you mercy and let y
Leon was no match for the legendary Jacob Lowe at all—it would be as easy to defeat Leon as it was to kill an ant! "You—" a dark expression crossed Leon's face as he erupted in anger. "How dare you say that about Mister Wolf? You're so arrogant, Jacob Lowe, that I think you'd better shut up!" someone declared, cackling. Fane Poole, the son of the Southern King, stormed into the room with his troops. "How dare you show your face here, Fane Poole!" an expression of shock crossed Jacob's face when he realized who it was. This was the hideout of Xander Long, the famous Winged Tiger, and was technically a part of the Northern King's reign. Jacob was surprised to see Fane, the son of the Southern King, show up here. "Did I arrive too late, Mister Wolf?" Fane took no notice of Jacob at all and instead greeted Leon as he strode over to his side. "No, you're not you're right on time," Leon said, smiling. "I didn't know this man is your subordinate, Fane. Well, it's no wonde
"Think whatever you want, then!" Fane scoffed. He was not Jacob's servant and thus did not feel it was necessary to explain himself. Besides, the Southern and Northern Kings were always arch-enemies, and Jacob's refusal to believe in Leon's capabilities would work out perfectly in their favor! "Whatever! Are you going to stick up for this nobody, Fane Poole?" Jacob asked coldly, staring at Fane. He was certain that Leon was not anyone special at all. Not only that but Leon and Fane appeared to be close. Since he and Fane were rivaled by associating, Fane's friend was automatically his enemy, too! "So what if I do? He's my friend, so, of course, I'll help him!" Fane declared confidently. "Fane, you're just in the Initial Innate State, the worst of everyone, and you stand no chance against me! What gives you the audacity to initiate combat with me?" Jacob burst into laughter, casting Fane a disdainful look. Even though the Southern and Northern Kings frequently got into
"What?" This surprised Jacob. Xander clearly told him that Leon was just a parentless nobody, and he believed him, but now Leon was not only friends with Fane Poole, the son of the Southern King, but he also appeared to be close with the Shears. How could Xander call this man a nobody? What was he thinking? Jacob gave Xander a murderous glare, as if he wanted to skin him alive. Xander's face turned pale, and his heart sank as he realized what had happened. He'd known Leon was close to the Shears for a long time, but it was because of the imperial greens, according to Brody. They met through a business transaction that ended a long time ago, and as a result, he never questioned Brody's claims and instead believed that the Shears would not help Leon unconditionally over such a minor matter. However, the reality was quite the opposite—Harvey chose to stand up for Leon once more! Not only that, but Harvey appeared adamant—he was willing to cross Jacob Lowe, son of the No
Not only that, but he could not help noticing how tense the entire atmosphere appeared to be, as though a fight was about to break out. He was a little puzzled as to what happened. "Well…" Jacob quickly briefed him on the events that transpired. Anson was shocked to learn of all this. He immediately glanced in Leon's direction and asked in curiosity, "Mister Lowe, who's this Leon Wolf that you speak of? How'd he manage to be friends with both Harvey Shear and Fane Poole? What an amazing feat!" "I'm not sure either, but I hear he's an orphan…" Jacob replied. "An orphan?" Anson froze at this. However, knowing that Leon hailed from nothing and was not the son of a powerful family made him change his mind about the man. He could not help growing disdainful of Leon at this. "Mister Collins, Harvey, and Fane are trying to bully me. You have to help me…" Jacob added quickly. "Don't worry, Mister Lowe. We're friends, and I won't leave you here for death," Anson said good-natur
"Seeing that both Harvey and Fane chose to stand on your side, I'll give you another chance; if you let Xander go right now, I can pretend as though nothing happened and let you walk out of here unscathed. If you choose not to, however, you'll bear the consequences of my wrath!" Anson began to get angry. It was one thing for Harvey to embarrass him in front of everyone—after all, they were equal in ranking and thus could not do anything about it, but this was not the same for Leon. How dare this orphan refuse his peace offer! Anson was outraged by this. "I…" Leon was just about to reply when all of a sudden, Janice interrupted him with an expression of concern, "Leon, why don't we just let this go? After all, I didn't even get hurt." She tugged on his sleeve in an attempt to get his attention. She always thought that Leon's friendship with the Shears and Fane was built on sheer chance and luck, but now, after witnessing both Harvey and Fane insist on standing up for him,
