"I know that! But this is the Shears' territory. With so many people around, we can't do anything to that kid just yet. Let's wait until after the opening ceremony to give him a proper greeting!" Theodore uttered darkly.

The failed ambush raised the Shears' suspicion that the Fields Family was behind it and they did whatever they could to oppress the Fields Family to seek revenge. As one of the Four Major Families, the Fields Family managed to survive through the Shears' retaliation but paid an enormous price in doing so. In the end, the Fields Family had to make an official apology to the Shear Family and made certain compromises in their family business.

Considering the fact that Cynthia was not harmed and that conflicts would not be beneficial to the Shear Family as well, the two families finally decided to cease fire.

However, the event deepened the grudge between the two families, which was why the Shears extended their invitation for the opening ceremony to every single family

    Leon knew that Gilbert disliked him from the start, but he needed Gilbert's approval if he wanted to continue his relationship with Iris, and running away would not resolve any problem.He decided to give it his all for Iris's sake.The two arrived at the silent corner outside the hall and Gilbert stopped once he confirmed that there was no one else around them."Mister Young, what do you need to talk to me about?" Leon asked."Leon, let's just cut to the chase! I don't care why you approach Iris, but a word of advice: Stay away from her, or suffer the consequences!" Gilbert warned."Mister Young, you've misunderstood. I don't have any motive," Leon said sincerely but was instantly interrupted by Gilbert."Enough with the act! Just tell me how much it would cost for you to leave Iris's side!" Gilbert roared."Mister Young, it's not a matter of money. I am in love with Iris with all my heart and I mean it!" Seeing no point in hiding any longer, Leon summoned the courage to confes

    However, he stopped at the very last moment when he recalled his father's words.Leon saved Iris and Elder Young in the past and Gilbert could not repay the debt by killing Leon."Leon, I'll give you one week to consider. Whether it's money or anything else that you want, just name your price, but you must leave or I'll show no mercy!" Gilbert snorted, before leaving without giving Leon the chance to respond.Though he could not deal with Leon directly, the Young Family's influence was vast and there were plenty of other ways to remove Leon from Iris's side.'He's a smart kid,' Gilbert thought, 'he'll know what he needs to do eventually!'Leon was drenched in sweat as he watched Gilbert disappear into the distance, terrified that Gilbert would attack. Should Gilbert lose control, Leon would be severely injured even if he managed to survive.Fortunately, Gilbert decided against acting on his anger.Leon returned to the hall and Iris hurried over. "Leon, are you okay? What did my

    The calculation excluded potential loss of the ingredient during the manufacturing process and the time and effort required for Leon to produce the pills.The Cynthion Group did not set the prices higher as a gesture of showing their sincerity."Also, these pills are the first products that we are going to launch and the second batch will need time to be produced. There's a limited supply of the Energy Nurturing Pills of roughly over ten thousand pills in total. Please make your purchase as soon as possible while the stock lasts!" Cynthia added."Who knows if the pills work?""That's right. You are just saying that it works and we don't know if that's the truth at all!"Chaos erupted among the crowd after Cynthia introduced the products.Though the prices set for the Energy Nurturing Pills were affordable, most of the guests struggled to believe the advertised effect of the pills and as some of the most powerful people in Springfield City, they refused to make a fool of themselve

    If there were only two hundred pills, each person would only be given a portion of eight to ten pills."How about this, Miss Shear, seeing how we know each other, why don't you make an exception for me and sell me a thousand? Is that okay?" Fane said, before shooting a glance at Leon, hoping that his friendship with Leon would offer him more access.He crossed Anson and Jacob at Xander's house to help Leon. Cynthia knew that Leon and Fane were friends and instinctively glanced at Leon to seek his approval. After all, Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group and he had the final right to make a decision.Leon nodded slightly and Cynthia immediately smiled. "Mister Poole, thank you for taking such an interest in Cynthion Group. I'll take you up on your offer, then!""That's great!" Overjoyed, Fane looked at Leon gratefully. He thought that Cynthia made an exception out of respect for Leon, not knowing that Leon agreed to it.Fane made the payment for a thousand Energy Nurturing Pills

    "We're fine with it!"The crowd cheered. Everyone knew that the Fields Family and the Shear Family were competitors, so Theodore could not be working with the Shears in secret; Hence, Theodore's men would be the most reliable source in testing the effect of the Energy Nurturing Pills."Theodore, why are you here? You are not welcome here!" Harvey's expression darkened as he eyed Theodore resentfully, itching to retaliate for the attack Theodore initiated toward Cynthia."I don't care if you welcome me! What's important is whether you dare to let my men try the pills!" Theodore questioned."Why wouldn't we? However, others have to be selected as well to prevent you from playing tricks!" Harvey said coldly."Fine. I'm okay with that." Theodore shrugged.He knew with certainty that the Energy Nurturing Pills would not be effective and it did not matter how tried the pills. Once it became clear that the pills were not as effective as they claimed, Theodore would only need to say a fe

    Both Theodore and Jacob were shocked by the sight and instantly jumped to a conclusion."Harvey Shear, look at what you've done! Not only does the pill not work, but it's also causing my man to lose control over his power. You're going to have to answer me today!" Theodore roared."That's not possible! The Energy Nurturing Pills we produce work perfectly fine and should not cause anyone to lose control over their power! Something's wrong!"Both Harvey and Cynthia were stunned and confused by the situation. Harvey started to suspect that Gordon was putting on an act to support Theodore's claim."Harvey, the truth's staring us all in the face! What else do you have to say for yourselves?""That's right!""We're all seeing this. Your pills have issues and can cause martial artists to lose control over their powers!""Those aren't pills. They're poison! Are you trying to kill us all?!"...Jacob and Anson leaped into the conversation and accused Shears of scamming all the families

    However, it was a member of the Fields Family who tested the pill, and given the two families' history, Gordon could not have been bribed by the Shears."Everyone, calm down. Let the two of us try the pill as well."The other two men sobered and swallowed the pills in their hands without hesitation.The pills melted in their mouth and transformed into a pure force of energy that replenished their bodies.Both men were martial artists who rivaled Gordon in power, so they immediately sensed the pills functioned as advertised.Since Gordon was on the edge of a breakthrough, he managed to reach the next power level by luck; while the other two were not blessed with such opportunities. However, it was enough to prove that the Energy Nurturing Pills were effective."How do you two feel?" The others turned their attention to the other two men who took the pills."Yeah, we can say for sure that the Energy Nurturing Pills work to aid martial artists' training.""I'm sure that it'd be be

    "Two hundred, then!" Gilbert said with a scowl.There were over thirty skilled martial artists in powerful families such as the Youngs and two hundred pills would be consumed within a blink of an eye. However, since it was the rule set by Cynthion Group, Gilbert could only obey."I want two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, too!""Me, too."As Gilbert claimed two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, the others swarmed toward the stage.There were only approximately three thousand first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and since Fane and Gilbert took a thousand and two hundred of them, there were not many left for the rest.Fane was right that anyone who hesitated would lose their chances of purchasing at all."Wait! Starting from now, every customer may only purchase a hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and a hundred second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, which adds up to a total of two hundred pills per customer."Knowing that the first-grade Energy Nurturin

    "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
