"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
"Exactly!""Of the many shameless people that I've seen before, I've never seen someone this shameless!""Miss Summers is a beautiful woman, and he needs to look in the mirror and understand how unattractive he looks. How can someone like him be worthy of her?""I wonder where he got all his confidence!"The other two patients in the ward were amused by Bowden's brazenness and voiced their support for Lily.Bowden threw a fit. "I've already laid out the conditions, Aunt Serena. If you don't agree, then you need to pay up the seven thousand dollars immediately or I'll call the police! Don't blame me then if the police arrest you for making off without payment!""But..."Serena and her two children were speechless. Forking out 700 dollars was difficult enough, what more than 7,000 dollars?Where were they going to get so much money?For a moment, the three of them were in so much despair that they did not know what to do next."It's just seven thousand, right? I'll help you pay
Serena and her two children were at a loss and exchanged confused glances at each other. They had no idea whatsoever as to what Leon tried to do."Oh, shut it, you arrogant snob! Isn't it just a couple of grands? What makes you think I can't fork out that kind of money?" Leon stared coldly at Bowden. It was Elder Young who gave him that bank card. Elder Young said that it contained about one and a half million, and Leon did not think that the old man would lie to him."Enough with your stubbornness! Isn't it obvious that you don't have much money? Take your tacky saloon membership card and get the hell out of here!" Bowden's had a look of disdain as he picked up the bank card and raised his hand to throw it at Leon's face."Hold that thought!" Edward stopped Bowden right away. He took the bank card for a closer inspection and was immediately overcome with surprise.From his extensive knowledge, he quickly recognized that it was the Supreme Card issued by Rivercity Bank!Rivercity
"No... Doctor Hoover, I can explain. The medicine that I've been selling to my patients is beneficial. They're not harmful…" Bowden panicked and tried to explain, but then again, none of his explanations held any water! After all, a person of high status like Leon would have no reason to make false accusations against someone insignificant like him."I don't want to hear any of it! You're fired, effective immediately! Get out, Bowden!"Edward slapped the table angrily."No... Doctor Hoover, please give me another chance..." Bowden wailed and begged as he crawled to Edward's feet."Get lost! Security, kick him out of the building, please!"Edward kicked Bowden away. With a wave of his hand, the security guards grabbed Bowden fiercely and dragged him out!"Wonderful!""Indeed!""Unethical vermin like him deserve this! It's so satisfying to see his downfall!"The other two patients in the ward clapped their hands and cheered."Could you please wait a moment, Mister Wolf? I'll ha
Back at Dragonbay Villas, Jenny, the nanny, was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen when Leon returned home."Hey, Aunt Jenny. Where's Iris, by the way? Why isn't she around?" Leon asked curiously."Oh, she's working overtime at the company and hasn't come back yet, but she'll probably be back soon," Jenny said with a smile. She already got used to Iris working overtime."It's almost nine now! She's so hardworking!"Leon was speechless, admiring Iris's hard work!It was no surprise that the Elegante Group expanded numerous times in the two years after it was handed over to Iris. Such an achievement was not by pure chance!Soon, the main door swung open, and Iris walked in.Leon came to the living room and poured a cup of hot water for her."Why are you working so late, Iris? Aren't you tired?""It's not that tiring. The company has recently gotten a project that requires us to follow up, and it happens to be related to our prospects for development. The last thing I want is for
Leon took a deep breath and discovered that he guessed right that morning. The spiritual energy there was strong—many times more than in the villa—and thus made it more suitable for him to refine his internal energy.Before long, he found himself in an open area and sat crossed-legged on the ground to begin the energy refinement process.The spiritual energy in the villa was thin, and it took him almost an entire night to complete his refinement there.By contrast, the spiritual energy in the forest was very dense, and the corresponding effect of refinement was incredibly excellent. He could complete a week's worth of energy refinement in just over two hours.Seeing that it was still early, Leon continued to immerse himself in his refinement until about five or six the next morning. It was only when the sun peeked above the horizon that he ended his session."My strength seems to have increased after a night of refinement, and it's not too far off from mid-stage internal energy re
"Are you a doctor who practices alternative medicine?"The mention of, pressure point treatment, left the young man feeling rather surprised.Such alternative methods of medical treatment were on the decline in modern days. There were many aspects of such methods that made them less convenient and effective compared to conventional modern medicine.Moreover, the theory of alternative medicine was broad-ranging and profound, requiring a wealth of experience to be successful. Most of the famous alternative medicine practitioners were from the older generation.However, Leon seemed to be in his mid-20s and the most he learned was only some superficial knowledge of Chinese medicine.The young man could not help but think to himself, 'Is this guy's medical skills even reliable?'Leon shook his head and said truthfully, "I'm not an alternative medicine doctor, nor a normal conventional doctor...""What?! Then what are you even doing here? You're just wasting our time!"The young man'
"Cough cough..." Sometime later, the old man coughed a few times and opened his eyes slowly before regaining consciousness."Thank God you're okay, Grandpa! How are you feeling right now? Are you feeling unwell?" Jenson was overjoyed, but he still asked a few questions out of concern."I'm fine.""What happened, Jenson?" The old man asked with a puzzled expression."You fainted suddenly earlier, and it's all thanks to Doctor Schwabe who rescued you just in time," Jenson explained curtly."I see! Thank you very much, Doctor Schwabe!"The old man, whose name was Bernard Wick, was very grateful to Hilmar."You're too kind, Elder Wick. I was only doing my duty," Hilmar responded with a smile.Many more people gathered around them by then, and they all saw what happened."Doctor Schwabe lives up to his name as a professional doctor! His medical skills are amazing, and he rescued Elder Wick so quickly!""That kid from earlier who spoke about having learned alternative medicine was
"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
