All the businessmen and high-born ladies came for the sake of alchemical pills such as the Beauty Pills and Life-Prolonging Pills and since the testing of the Energy Nurturing Pills helped to build a foundation of trust toward Cynthion Group's products, the crowd instantly started fighting over the remaining pills.The rest of the alchemical pills were not as costly as the Energy Nurturing Pills and were sold for a few hundred to a thousand for each pill. Since Leon worked ahead for mass production, the other pills would not face the same issue with a supply as the Energy Nurturing Pills. Even so, the launch of the remaining pills pushed the crowd toward the peak of excitement.At the back of the crowd, Gilbert remained standing and stared at the stage with a dark expression.The Four Major Families were always competitors, with every one of them trying to be on top and the Youngs were no exception.In recent times, the talk of the city has been the new cosmetic product line launch
Harvey and the others were still busy selling the alchemical pills on stage and there was no one else backstage."Cynthia, what do you need?" Leon asked,"You're the chairman of this company so I figured that I should let you know how much we've profited today. I did a rough calculation and we have made a sale of over 260 million and over 130 million of sheer profit." Cynthia beamed and said.Though the Shear Family held properties worth billions and a mere profit of a hundred million did not mean much, it was Cynthia's first attempt at running a business and she was overjoyed that her company with Leon made such an impressive profit on the very first day."What? Over 130 million of sheer profit? T- That much?!" Leon was both stunned. Like Cynthia, it was his first attempt at starting a business and its success guaranteed him a lifetime worth of fortune.Leon was over the moon.The total sum of assets owned by the Four Major Families added up to no more than a hundred billion and
This was his greatest wish."Leon, one more thing. We have kept a thousand first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills to ourselves and here's half of them. My grandfather asked me to hand this over to you." Cynthia took out a few jade flasks and handed them to Leon.The Premium energy Nurturing Pills that Leon produced were limited and the Shear Family was given two hundred and seventy pills in total. Since it was far from enough to supply the need of the martial artists in the Shear Family, Benedict reserved a thousand first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills in private. However, since the Shear Family and Leon were partners with one responsible for supplying ingredients and the other responsible for manufacturing the pills, Benedict decided that Leon was entitled to half of the pills he reserved as well.This was Benedict's way of running a business."I-" Leon already had enough Premium Energy Nurturing Pills and had no use for first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills. He wanted to decline the offer
Harvey was at the peak of the Innate State and one Pure Energy Pill would help him achieve the Realm of a Supreme Master."That's great!" Harvey was excited at first but calmed slightly when he realized that it would be extremely difficult to find wild plants that grew for five hundred years or above."Mister Wolf, to tell you the truth, this is incredibly hard to come by, even for us Shears, but don't worry. I will send my men to the neighboring cities to ask around and I'll let you know as soon as I find something!""Sure. I'll be waiting for good news from you, then," Leon said with a smile.After discussing matters about the ingredients, Leon took some Beauty Pills and Life-Prolonging Pills, before returning to the hall.When Leon returned, Iris asked, "Leon, I didn't see you anywhere in the hall just now. Where'd you go?""Oh, I went to buy some of the pills. This is called the Beauty Pill. It works best for women and can preserve your beauty." Leon pulled out a flask of Bea
When Leon saw Gordon, he instantly realized why Harvey seemed so resentful toward Theodore.Behind the group, Gilbert stood with his men and observed as Theodore ambushed Leon and Iris."Sir, Miss Iris is in trouble. Should we interfere?" One of the men asked"It's fine. Theodore seems to be after Leon, so I don't think he would do anything to Iris. Let's sit back and observe. If Theodore dares to lay his hands on Iris, we'll stop him," Gilbert said hesitantly.The Young Family and the Fields Family were not direct competitors and Theodore would not be foolish enough to harm Iris.'As for Leon Wolf,' Gilbert thought to himself, 'that brat dares to pursue my daughter!'Gilbert despised Leon and would only be pleased if Theodore helped to teach Leon a lesson. It would be ideal if his daughter managed to realize how useless Leon truly was after this and decide to stay away from him.The opening ceremony for Cynthion Group ended and people were beginning to leave; with all the cars
It happened too fast and went beyond his expectation.Instantly, Gilbert's resentment toward Leon deepened. If he was merely hoping that Theodore would teach Leon a lesson earlier, he decided that he wanted Theodore to kill Leon after all."Iris, others might be afraid of the Youngs, but I'm not! I don't care if he's your boyfriend. He destroyed my plan and I'm not about to let him go today. Stay out of the way, or I won't show you any mercy!" Theodore said coldly.It did not matter who Leon was and even if he was the son-in-law of the Young Family, he would merely be Theodore's equal in terms of status."I won't g-" Iris said, but was interrupted before she could finish."Iris, I started this. Let me handle this." Leon took a step forward and shielded Iris behind his back."But Theodore's strong," Iris muttered worriedly. Though Leon was not entirely helpless, Theodore was the eldest son of one of the Four Major Families and one of the most skilled martial artists in the younger
"Don't worry, Iris. I'm going to be fine. Believe me!" Leon comforted her before moving forward.Iris remained silent in resignation. The situation had gotten out of hand, and she had no choice but to trust Leon."You didn't see this coming, did you? You crept behind my back and injured me, forcing me to stay in bed for over a month! You'll bleed today for the humiliation you inflicted on me!" Gordon gave Leon a dagger look."Thank you, old twat! I spared you, and that is the only reason you escaped with your life! You won't be as fortunate this time!" Leon said calmly while looking down at Gordon in the most condescending way possible."Bullsh*t! Die, you jerk!" Gordon charged toward Leon, his fist clenched against Leon's chest."Leon, be careful!" Iris yelled.Despite not being able to read Gordon's level precisely, she could sense how powerful his true energy was; on the other hand, there was no true energy flow at all in Leon's body, and the difference between the two was too
However, if Leon was capable of defeating Gordon, who was at the Advanced Innate State, it would not be possible that Leon's power level stopped at the Initial Innate State."Mister Fields, I can assure you that he was only at the Initial Innate State before this! He must have used some kind of dirty trick." Gordon glared at Leon. He had a taste of how sly Leon was from the time before and suspected Leon of using certain tricks, or he would not have been able to defeat Gordon with such ease."Enough! The two of you were in a proper fight, so what tricks can he possibly use? Even if he did, we would've seen it!" Theodore roared impatiently."But," Gordon was instantly rendered speechless."Mister Fields, Gordon has just broken through the bottleneck of his training. He's probably still adjusting to it. Please allow me to fight this brat!" Another man suggested."Forget it! Something is off with this kid. I'll do this myself! I don't want to send you all out only for you to embarras
"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
