However, if Leon wanted to form his force, he would need to gain a reputation first. Only then would he manage to attract experts to work under him.If Leon continued to keep a low profile, no one would be willing to work for a nameless person!In the end, anyone who wanted to expand and grow would need to meet a lot of difficulties on the path to doing so. Leon was no exception. It was something that could not be helped!At the sales drive, Leon and Cynthia were ordering their employees and the guards around to welcome the various major families as the figureheads of Cythion Group.Cynthia was second among the four great beauties. Her looks were impeccable, and she was the focus of attention no matter where she went.Many of the younger generations could not resist looking at her.When they saw Leon next to Cynthia and how close they seemed to be, quite a lot of their expressions changed.Last time, Leon was with Iris during the opening ceremony of Cythion Group.The fact that
Iris was at the top of the four great beauties of Springfield City. She was always been pure and untouchable, and was practically a goddess in the eyes of the rich elite!Yet, their goddess was taken by Leon, an orphan divorcee!It completely changed their world. The shock in their eyes was evident!On the other side, Leon saw Louisa and Iris as well.It was the first time Leon saw Iris since he broke up with her. He felt a complicated wave of emotions. There was sadness, frustration, and even pleasant surprise.After all, Iris was the woman he loved the most. Even in the past few days, he found himself unable to forget about her.Seeing Iris after a few days, the feelings of longing surged into his mind again. He felt somewhat emotional, and even started to wonder if Iris would change her mind about him after having a few days to calm down!However, when Iris stated that they broke up, it was like a bucket of cold water over his head. His heart turned cold, and all of that exci
The rich young men around him were scared away by Elder Young, and they could not help but take a step back.Louisa was afraid of nothing, except her grandfather. She shut her mouth and reluctantly walked over, cursing her grandfather softly for being a stubborn old coot. Thankfully, she was very soft, and only Leon heard her.Otherwise, Elder Young would have been infuriated by her! "Leon, I heard you're the president's assistant in Cythion right now! I can't believe you turned around and ran to the Shears right after you left us! You are quite good at cozying up to others!" Gilbert said with a mocking laugh. "So he's Cynthia's assistant!"The men around them realized something, finally understanding Leon's relationship with Cynthia.However, they still did not know what happened between Leon and Iris."Mister Young, you don't have to speak so snidely. I don't mind telling you. Leon isn't something as simple as the president's assistant of Cythion Group!" Cynthia's expressi
Walter heard everything that was said between Gilbert and Benedict just now. He even heard from Theodore that Leon was the one who foiled Theodore's kidnapping of Cynthia before. He even injured Theodore after that.Since Leon was an enemy of the Fields, he would naturally not bother currying favor with Leon!"Elder Fields, I don't know if our family has fallen or not, but I know something very well. If we manage to grow strong, then your family will have nowhere to go!" Benedict had a sharp glint in his eyes.The Shears and the Fields were always enemies. Furthermore, Theodore sent men to attack Cynthia not too long ago. There was no way he could just accept that!However, the Fields were at about the same level as the Shears, so he could do nothing about it at the moment.If Leon helped them and the Shears ended up growing stronger than the Fields, he would not let them off easily!Walter ignored Benedict and turned to look at Leon. he unleashed a strong aura as he said coldly,
"The Fields? The Collins? The Lowes?" "Didn't Mister Young say that he was just a president's assistant in Cynthion group?""How did a mere assistant offend so many big figures?!"…Everyone was stunned at the scene.Even Elder Young and Gilbert were shocked!They knew who Leon was the best. Both of them never expected that Leon could even manage to offend so many of the major families!Was that not too unbelievable?It was not something just anyone could do!"Leon, you are something else! Not only did you make an enemy out of us, but you also managed to offend the Collins and the Lowes as well. I don't know where you get your courage from!" Theodore was caught off guard. He was very surprised as well.He was never someone particularly close to Anson or Jacob. He did not know what happened with Xander back then."Leon, after this sales drive is over, we'll settle the score with you! You'll be dying very soon!" Jacob had a fierce look on his face.He faced Leon quite a few
Furthermore, Leon saved his life before. That was something he could not repay, so he would not just leave Leon to suffer!The moment he said that, everyone was shocked."The Shears? The Wicks? Even the Southern King, Vincent?" "This guy is just an assistant, how could he be supported by three major forces?!""What's happening in the world? Are they all crazy?"…Everyone was stunned. They looked at each other in shock!Even though Leon offended three major families, he suddenly got the support of another three!It would be one thing if Leon was a notable figure in Springfield City, but Leon was just the president's assistant at Cynthion Group. He was even an orphan!An orphan managed to cause such a huge scene among so many major families. Was that not unbelievable?If they were not witnessing it for themselves, they would not dare to believe it was real!Of course, they were not the only ones who were shocked. Elder Young and Gilbert were even more shocked!The two of th
Not only was Leon incredibly well connected in Springfield City, but he was also even able to form a relationship with the major families outside of Springfield City, managing to gain their support.Even the four great families were not able to do that, but Leon did!The shock in their hearts was evident!"Mister Wolf, I hope I'm not late," Quinton smiled and bowed to Leon respectfully. In Seacove City, he already represented the Hunts in obtaining an agreement with Cynthion Group for the Energy Nurturing Pills. Since Cynthion Group made a second batch of the pills, he came to obtain them based on their agreement."No, the sales drive hasn't started yet. You came at the right time, "Leon said with a smile.Seeing that, The Fields, the Collins, and the Lowes had dark expressions on their faces."Even if the Hunts are strong in Seacove City, don't think you can do whatever you want in Springfield City!" Walter said coldly. He did not view Quinton and the Hunts as a threat. They w
It was just a game between each other!Since the other side backed down, Benedict and Leon backed off as well. There was no need to pursue the matter."Cynthia, all the major families are mostly here already. We should start the sales drive!" Benedict said. After that, he went toward the main area with Leon and the others.The Fields and the others continued to gather outside of the main area.Not too long after that, the sales drive formally started.Cynthia stepped on the stage in an incredibly expensive dress.She looked incredibly beautiful. With that dress, it accentuated her looks even more, making her look incredibly noble.She was like a goddess that descended on earth.Suddenly, everyone was looking at her, and the crowd fell silent."Thank you all for attending Cythion Group's sales drive."Cynthia started to say a few words to start the occasion. Her voice was incredibly melodious."How beautiful!""I wonder which man will be lucky enough to marry Cynthia in the
"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
