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
"But you have no true energy, so you're just someone who's trained in external power! External power, however powerful at the start, isn't built to last. Let's see how much longer you can take this!" Theodore sneered, deciding that Leon was a fighter trained in external power since Leon showed no sign of true energy flow.Theodore never heard of anyone reaching the Advanced Innate State through external power alone, and was impressed that Leon managed to achieve such an accomplishment. However, without the support of true energy, external power would not last in prolonged battles and as Leon was slightly weaker than Theodore, Theodore was certain that he would be able to defeat Leon soon.As he anticipated, Leon paled and began to back away under Theodore's relentless attack."It's over, Brat! Stay down!" Seeing an opportunity, Theodore launched a punch toward Leon's chest at the speed of lightning, knowing that Leon would be severely injured even if he survived the impact."Yes!"
"Pftt!" Theodore spat blood as he was sent flying.Gordon and the other men, as well as Gilbert who observed the situation from a distance, were stunned.Theodore was one of the most talented martial artists among people his age and though he was known as a playboy, there was almost no one else who could hold a candle to his strength. Even if Anson and Jacob teamed together to fight Theodore, they would not stand a chance of winning, yet Leon managed to defeat and injure Theodore.Gilbert's jaw dropped. Knowing what he knew about Leon, he thought that Leon was merely a good-for-nothing orphan and did not expect a man like that to defeat Theodore with ease.If Theodore could not defeat Leon, Anson and Jacob could not possibly be a threat to Leon either. With that considered, it would not be an overstatement to say that Leon was the top of the youngest generation of martial artists.Gilbert was shaken to the core as he watched Leon transform from an insignificant orphan to a top mar
"Leon, you were great!" Iris was too worried and once she was finally able to relax, she could no longer contain her excitement and threw herself into Leon's arms.Theodore was one of the best martial artists of his age and Iris was stunned by the fact that Leon managed to defeat Theodore.She suddenly realized that Leon was far more capable than she imagined and felt more confident than ever about being with him. With time, Leon would surely get the approval of the Young Family.Meanwhile, Gilbert's expression darkened as he clenched his fists at the sight of his daughter throwing herself into Leon's arms. He reminded himself that Leon did the Young Family a favor and suppressed his anger, before turning to leave.Both Leon and Iris were unaware of Gilbert's presence and Leon was clueless about the resentment Gilbert felt toward him. If Leon noticed Gilbert's attitude toward him, he would not have been so optimistic."Iris, it's still early. Let's head back to the office," Leon s
