Powerful families often prioritized their reputation and though Walter desperately wished to get rid of Leon, he could not neglect the impact of his actions on the family's name."How about this? Leon, I'll send a Field from the second generation to fight you and if you manage to defend yourself under three attacks, we'll forget that anything ever happened! Fail to do so, and you'll have to get out of this city!" Walter decided to compromise."Second generation?" Leon's eyes lit up.Walter was one of the most formidable martial artists of his age, having reached the Peak Supreme State or higher, so Leon could not withstand three punches from someone at his level. However, he might stand a chance against someone from the second generation. Though Leon was not certain about the strength of the second generation of Fields, he witnessed Gilbert's power.Gilbert was the head of the second generation of the Youngs and reached the Advanced Supreme State; assuming that the second generatio
He thought that Walter would choose someone at the Advanced Supreme State, but to his bewilderment, Walter was too arrogant and chose a martial artist at the Intermediate Supreme State.Leon was at the Foundation Phase and could easily fend off three attacks from someone of that level, so he could not possibly reject such an offer."Um, I'll take it!" He made a point to hesitate for a moment before agreeing reluctantly, being extremely careful not to let his joy show out of fear that Walter might send someone more powerful to represent the Fields."What?!" Harvey and Benedict gaped in unison.Benedict was puzzled as he warned Leon, but Leon ignored his advice and agreed to the Fields' terms anyway."Leon, don't rush into this. This-" Benedict blurted out hastily.He knew what the Fields were capable of and if Leon failed to survive three strikes, he would be made to leave the city without doubt; his partnership with the Shears would be severed and all the hard work they put in wo
...Everyone discussed amongst themselves and no one seemed to believe that Leon stood a chance unless there was a miracle."Hey, anyone wants to bet on it?""I'm betting that Leon won't survive three strikes!""I bet that not only will he not survive, but he's also going to end up badly injured!""Isn't that obvious? If he fails to take three strikes, he is going to be injured in the process. Haroon should destroy him for good. Serves him right!"...Many members of the younger generation resented Leon for having the opportunity to date all of the Four Beauties and how he injured Ruth earlier.Some of them started to bet on the fight as they all came from wealthy backgrounds and did not have to worry about money."Damn those guys!" Enraged, Fane walked over and slammed a cheque onto the table. "I bet 1.5 million that Mister Wolf can take three punches from Haroon!"He knew that Leon was not going to win, but he believed in Leon and since Leon agreed to the fight, it could be
In everyone's eyes, Leon was merely at the Initial Supreme State and was set to die.Haroon focused every last bit of his strength into his fist with the determination to destroy Leon's arm.The crowd stirred at Leon's reaction."Has he gone mad?""He might have been able to dodge Haroon's attacks by utilizing his skills in combat, yet he's trying to counter? Does he want his arm destroyed?""Yeah, Haroon's going to break that arm!"...Everyone was shocked as they stared at Leon like they were looking at a fool. The ones who still believed that Leon might be able to survive earlier decided that Leon would not survive after all.The Fields sneered smugly as though victory was right before their eyes.On the opposite side, the Shears and Vincent were all stunned at Leon's attempt to fight instead of dodge. They all started to fire up their true energy in the hope to rescue Leon, but it was too late.The Collins and Harold all kept their composure as they observed the situation
Haroon spat blood as soon as he landed, sensing that his ribs were broken.Chaos erupted in the crowd."Are we seeing this right?""L- Leon defeated Haroon with one move?""H- How is that possible?"Everyone, including the Fields, the Shears, and the Collins, was taken by surprise. They were certain that Leon would not survive three attacks from Haroon and did not expect Leon to defeat Haroon, a martial artist who was almost at the Advanced Supreme State, with one punch.Everyone was stunned to say the least."That can't be possible. This isn't real!" Haroon covered his chest and struggled to get up as he muttered in disbelief.He assumed that Leon reached the Initial Supreme State a few days ago and should not hold a candle to his strength, so he could not comprehend how Leon managed to defeat him.It was such a hard pill to swallow that he could not bring himself to believe it."You have two more moves. Do you still want to carry on?" Leon stared at Haroon calmly, while kee
Everyone assumed that Leon reached the Advanced Supreme State and were all impressed by his talent.With Leon's skill in alchemy and his talent in martial arts combined, he would soon become someone who ruled over Springfield City."Rumor has it that anyone who gets the help of the alchemist working for the Shears will rule over Springfield City! I guess that's true!"Vincent and Bernard gaped and instantly felt jealous that the Shears managed to recruit such a talented man."Haha! The odds are in the Shears' favor!" Benedict burst into laughter in excitement. He quietly decided to get Leon and Cynthia together so that they could keep Leon from being taken by another family."So, he has already reached the Advanced Supreme State. He went going easy on me the whole time." Ruth bit her lip as she paled. She was upset after being injured as she thought that Leon only managed to win using certain tricks. It was not until this very moment that she realized he went easy on her the entir
If Leon married Iris, the Youngs would soon rule over Springfield City with Leon's help. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret it."Leon, you've finally grown into the man I know you can be," Iris felt a lump in her throat as her heart ached.She knew all along that Leon had great potential and would become the brightest man among their generation when given time. However, they were never meant to be and she was forced to leave Leon when he grew."Yay! Leon, you're awesome!" Louisa cheered and clapped.Meanwhile, on the stage."Leon, you've won. I admit defeat." Haroon's expression darkened. Knowing that he would never be able to defeat Leon, he obeyed Walter's order and stepped down."Leon, you sure hide your strength well for someone your age. You're a sly man and I've underestimated you!" Walter stared daggers at Leon."You're too kind, Elder Fields!" Leon smiled. He just reached the Foundation Phase and he only managed to defeat Haroon because he was trained in sa
Quinton stood out from the rest of the crowd. Only ten Pure Energy Pills were sold during the sales drive, and after Harvey took one, there were nine left, costing a total of $49 million.Quinton had paid 45 million for the Panax, which he didn't need, so 49 million meant nothing to him."Are the Hunts taking all of them? No way!""I'm against this!""We won't agree to this!"...The stunned audience panicked. They came to fight over Leon and the Pure Energy Pills, and after seeing what the Pure Energy Pills could do, they all wanted the pills for themselves and couldn't let the Hunts buy them all."I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, but because the supply is limited, each family may only purchase one pill." Lean offered an apologetic smile."Only one? That's not nearly enough! Mister Wolf, we are Cynthion Group partners, and I hope you can make an exception. I don't need many, but at least three or four pills are fine." Quinton inquired hastily.He had already attained the Realm of a Supre
