Lily burst into tears. Her expression was ridden with remorse and guilt.

Leon was shocked, for he did not expect Lily to have such a sad backstory.

As an orphan since young, his experience was not much better than that of Lily. He had an intimate understanding of how Lily felt, and he was also familiar with the kind of despair and helplessness she faced when encountering difficulties...

They were both born in unlucky circumstances!

Leon felt tremendously relieved at that moment, having understood and sympathized with Lily's predicament.

It was already after-hours, so the situation on Leon and Lily's side immediately attracted the attention of many of their colleagues.

"Look!"

"That woman who’s kneeling on the ground is Lily, right? The president's secretary? Who's the man she's kneeling for, though?"

"Beats me. I've never seen him before."

"That's weird. What are they doing?"

...

The bystanders gossiped with each other while looking at Leon and Lily with strange expressions.

    During the journey to send Lily back, vehicles and pedestrians filled the road to the brim because they were in the middle of rush hour when everyone was getting off work.When he reached an intersection at a traffic light, Leon had to brake suddenly to avoid the pedestrians. Her soft bosom bumped against his back and a wonderful sensation began coursing through his body.Leon was stunned and immediately realized that Lily's chest was in intimate contact with his back. Although their skin was separated through thin clothes, he could feel the size of her supple bosom!A red flush appeared on Lily's cheeks within a split second, and she tried to move back as much as possible to try and maintain a gap from Leon.Inertia had other plans for her though. The more she leaned back, the more forcefully her bosom bumped into Leon's back whenever he had to brake.Leon did not think much about it at first, but there was no denying that he was a normal man with strong vigor.As the frequency

    "Mister Wolf has some medical knowledge, so he offered to come to visit our mother and see if there's anything he can be of help with." Lily explained with a blush."Is he a doctor?"Jared was both surprised and confused. As Lily's colleague, Leon was supposed to be a secretary, so why was he suddenly described as if he was a doctor?"I'm not a doctor, but I have medical skills that were passed down from my ancestors."Leon smiled and put the fruit basket in his hand on the cabinet beside the hospital bed."You're a quack, then!" Jared frowned and said bluntly, "Lily, there are plenty of professional doctors in the hospital, but none of them can cure mom's sickness. Do you think letting a quack would do any good?""Watch your words, Jared! How could you be so rude! Mister Wolf is just trying to be kind!" Lily reprimanded in displeasure and then smiled apologetically at Leon. "Mister Wolf, my brother is ignorant and speaks without a filter. Please don't take his words to heart."

    "What do you think of my mother's condition, Mister Wolf?" Lily asked nervously."It's a little complicated, and not that easy for me to try and explain. Fortunately, however, the issue at hand is only a minor problem of inflammation. I believe she'll regain her health if I give her some pressure point treatment and have her consume some herbal medication for the next couple of days," Leon comforted with a smile.The treatment that Serena previously received was conducive to her spinal cord recovery, and it was almost fully healed. It was the subsequent complications that made the situation a little trickier.Those complications posed no serious problem should they be treated in time, but there would be grave consequences if allowed to fester. At best, she would be paralyzed. At worse, her life would be at risk."You can cure her? That's great news!" Lily was overjoyed.She originally intended to just give things a try without placing too high a hope on Leon's medical skills, so i

    The ward was an ordinary ward that had a total of three beds. Aside from Serena, two other patients were lying on the other two beds."Young man, it's written in the commandments that, thou shall not lie!""Missus Summers here has been hospitalized for a very long time already and none of the experienced doctors here could do anything to cure her! You, on the other hand, are a young man, and you're not a professional doctor either. How do you expect to be able to cure her?""Exactly! Don't claim to be a doctor just because you've learned some medical skills. Who's going to deal with the consequences if something goes wrong with the treatment?"...Both patients shook their heads, as neither of them were optimistic about Leon's medical skills.Jared was already very suspicious of Leon's ulterior motives, and began to doubt Leon even more after hearing what the two patients said!"They have a point, Lily. We can't risk Mom's life!""But..."Lily believed Leon earlier, but now th

    The Six Points of Fate technique required him to apply internal energy to the pressure points, and he nearly collapsed from exhaustion when treating Elder Young because he had no internal energy.With his refinement level reaching the first level of internal energy refinement, his outlook was bound to be better, thus enabling him to use the Six Points of Fate with more proficiency.Even so, his refinement level was still very low. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his entire body was overcome with fatigue as he performed the pressure point treatment.At that moment, footsteps were heard approaching them.In came a young 27- or 28-year-old male doctor, who was dressed in a white coat. A young female nurse followed him in as well and they both did their routine rounds in the room.The sight of Leon's hands on Serena's body gave the young male doctor a huge fright. He immediately hurried over and asked, "What's going on, Lily? And what's that man doing?!""Let me expl

    "Aunt Serena's cheeks are probably red because she's having dying flashes before demise. Her life is at risk now, and she might not make it even if the angels come down from heaven and bless her!" Bowden shook his head, looking at Leon with a disparaging gaze."What?!"Lily and Jared were thunderstruck by his remark, and Jared stood up all of a sudden with a burning rage in his eyes."It's all your fault, Wolf! I'm going to make you pay for killing my mother!" Jared roared as if he lost his mind and punched Leon in the face without a second thought.Leon was caught by surprise and received a direct hit on his eye."Miss Fendt! I need you to notify the hospital director about this at once! Let him make preparations to rescue our patient! And while you're at it, please send a few security guards here. We need to arrest this kid for treating patients negligently and have him handed it over to the police!"Bowden turned his head and instructed the female nurse behind him, who nodded

    With a thud, Jared knelt before Leon without any hesitation. He then raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying, "Mister Wolf, I'm deeply sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have treated you that way when all you so kindly offered to save my mother. I'm such a terrible human being..." Jared felt very guilty and remorseful."Don't sweat it. This was all just a misunderstanding, but I do hope that you won't act so impulsively in the future..."Leon knew that Jared did not mean to punch him. He was not that petty of a person either, so he stretched out his hand to help Jared up.Bowden did not expect such a dramatic change in the situation. His expression turned ugly, and he scoffed coldly, "Don't bother thanking this guy, Lily! Aunt Serena's condition has already shown positive signs after receiving treatment in our hospital during this period. He just happened to put the finishing touches to the treatment by groping around without any direction!""You're wron

    "How shameless of him!""Can you believe his sheer lack of medical ethics when passing those garbage ingredients off as valuable just to fool his patients?""You couldn't be more right! The medication we're put on is probably the same too!"The other two patients scoffed and looked at Bowden with even more disdain. At the same time, they were secretly worried that they were similarly tricked by other unethical doctors!"Forget it, Lily. Bowden helped us a lot during this time, and it was his way of showing kindness too. Let's just put this matter to rest. My illness is cured too, so there's no need for me to stay here anymore. You and Jared should pack up so we can go home as soon as I'm discharged," Serena said without explicitly blaming Bowden. After all, her family was neighbors with Bowden's family for many years, and she did not want to go too deep into it."Discharged? Not so fast! Aunt Serena, you still owe more than seven thousand dollars for the hospitalization and medica

    "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
