Leon ignored Snow's gaze of disdain and contempt.From the moment he met Snow, Snow was incredibly unfriendly to him, causing him trouble everywhere.He would have already left if he was not close to Fnae and if he did not already promise to help Fane. There was no reason for him to suffer those looks from Snow!Not wanting to fight against a woman, he decided to just ignore Snow's gaze."Mister Poole, do you want some fruits?" Leon tossed a fruit over to Fane."Sure, I have nothing to do anyway."Fane walked over with a smile, sitting down in front of Leon. The two of them chatted away happily.That brat must be challenging her on purpose!Snow's face reddened in anger. Flames almost started to shoot out of her eyes. However, she could not touch Leon for Fane's sake."Snow, you can just ignore that guy. He's just a fraud. He dared to try and scam us. Once the match is over, we'll deal with him!" Landry consoled in a low voice.Snow took a deep breath and nodded. She looked o
Facing Horsen's intense attacks, he slowly fell to a disadvantage.Even so, he still managed to last a few dozen exchanges with Horsen. In the end, he lost because his stamina ran out."We finally won one!" Snow breathed a sigh of relief, letting out a smile.Landry and the others reacted more or less the same way. Their morale recovered a little.However, it did not last long. Horsen and Riker fought at full power earlier, and Horsen already spent most of his strength. He quickly fell to one of Jacob's guards. "How'd things end up like this?!" Snow's expression changed, unable to keep her calm.After the last few rounds, her side used three of their men to barely defeat one.Other than Leon, the scammer, only she was left to fight against four opponents.Among them was Jacob, one of the best fighters among the youths of Springfield City. He was at the late Innate Stage, so there was no way he was any worse than her.It was a pipe dream for her to defeat four of them alone!
"What? Don't you like the fact that my sister's older than you? It's fine, an age gap isn't that much of an issue nowadays. My sister's just three or four years older than you at most. Both of you would suit each other very well!" Fane did not give up."Mister Poole, forgive me for being honest, but your sister's so beautiful. She comes from a good family as well. She has many suitors! It would be easy for her to find a suitable boyfriend. Surely you don't need to be worried for her?" Leon asked curiously."You don't know this, but my sister was hurt badly by a relationship before. After that, she started to hate men, especially men with silver tongues who are not reliable. My dad and I both hope she can find a man to spend her life with soon. At least, we hope she'll be able to step out of that shadow," Fane sighed and said."So that's what happened!" Leon realized something, finally understanding why Snow seemed to hate him so much.Snow was probably lied to by a man and hurt bad
"This is good too. The more hope you have, the more disappointed you'll be! I'll extinguish all your hope myself later. I'll let you know what despair is!" Jacob said arrogantly."The one who'll be in despair is you!" Snow said coldly. However, she was incredibly nervous inside, not feeling nearly as calm as she looked.She already said it before. Jacob was already at the late Innate State, and was not far away from reaching the peak.He was not weaker than she was. Furthermore, she already went three rounds earlier. She already used up a lot of her stamina and true energy.At that moment, she had a very slim chance of defeating Jacob!"What? Are you scared?" Jacob seemed to have seen through Snow's thoughts, and he had a sudden idea."Miss Poole, you're a woman in the end, and you've used up quite a lot of strength fighting the last three rounds. It would be too easy for me to defeat you like that! Why don't I give you a one-hand handicap?" Jacob said meaningfully."A one-han
It was the perfect opportunity!However, there were no absolutes. Energy Nurturing Pills were too valuable. They were things that all the large families coveted. Two hundred pills was not a small sum either.If she was not careful and ended up losing, it would be a huge loss!The price was too big to pay, so she was a bit hesitant."What? Aren't you even willing to put just two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills on the line? If that's the case, I can give you a new condition!" Jacob said with a challenged look."What condition?" Snow asked.If Jacob gave them an easier request, she could agree to it!"Miss Poole, you're one of the four great beauties of Springfield City, and you're the dream companion of many men! Any normal man would be moved by a sexy and beautiful woman like you! If I win, then you'll keep me company for a few nights. I want to taste someone as beautiful as you are, to see how amazing it feels." Jacob let out a sinister smile as his gaze wandered ov
The people of the underworld place a high value on their words.With both of them already agreeing to the bet and the presence of many members of the upper class, neither was concerned that the other would break their word!"Jacob, you are conceited. I'll make certain you pay for your arrogance! Take it!"Snow was ruthless in her use of her full strength. With a soft but sharp aura, she charged right at Jacob.Jacob was roughly on the same level as she was. They were both students at Innate State.However, Jacob was only using one hand at the time. She was confident that she could easily defeat Jacob and avenge her earlier humiliation!"That's ideal! Allow me to demonstrate my true talent today!" Jacob chuckled coldly, not backing down as he charged at Snow with one hand."P-peak, Innate State?" Snow's expression changed as she sensed Jacob's true energy.She always assumed Jacob was in his late Innate State. She had no idea Jacob had already broken through at some point, reach
"That's right, I was on at the late Innate State a few years ago! It was the Energy Nurturing Pills from Cythion that helped me reach the peak easily! I should properly thank them!" Jacob said with a pleased laugh.He was only a sliver away from the peak Innate State. Ever since he took the pills, he used the pure energy from within them to break through!"What a lucky dog!" Fane was furious.He knew that Energy Nurturing Pills were mainly meant to assist in training. It was rare for martial artists to be able to use them to break through to new levels.Jacob managing to use them to do so was mostly luck!"Alright, if you're willing to bet, then you should be willing to suffer the losses! Hand over the pills!" Jacob let out an arrogant smile as he reached out and asked for the pills.During Cythions opening ceremony, he was only able to get two hundred second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills. He failed to get any first-grade ones.Even second-grade ones were able to help him so m
With Leon in the final round, he did not think that Jacob could win!"Alright, I'll make sure both of you have nothing else to say."Jacob laughed. After that, he looked at Leon and seemed to realize something. He let out a mocking look, "Fane, if I'm not mistaken. Leon should be your final participant?""That's right, it's him!" Fane nodded."Good, very good! Leon, you could've walked out just fine, but you decided to step right into hell! Since you want to die, I'll grant you your wish!" Jacob laughed.He was already at the peak Innate State. There was practically no one who could oppose him among the youths of Springfield City.Even Harvey, Anson, and Theodore were only at the same level as him. They might not be able to defeat him! Leon was nothing in his eyes!"Fane, it's fine. We should just concede. There's no need to struggle for no reason," Snow said.She looked down on Leon in the first place. With Jacob already at the peak Innate State, even she could not stand up
