"Who are you? How dare you come in our way?" Quinton roared. As the representative of the Hunts, he did not cower."What do you think?" The strange man sneered; his presence overpowering."Are you after the Energy Nurturing Pills and the Pure Energy Pills?!" Quinton's expression darkened as he came to a realization.The Hunts were a powerful family in Seacove City with no known enemy in Springfields. Since it was unlikely that these people ambushed him for revenge, they had to be targeting the alchemical pills."You're sharp! Mister Hunt, let's cut to the chase. If you know what's best for you, you'll hand us the pills now to save yourself from suffering!" The man in the demon mask said coldly."You're asking me to hand over the pills? To you? What a joke!" Quinton chuckled darkly."Mister Hunt, there's no point in pretending to be calm. I might not be able to do anything to you if we were in Seacove City, but in Springfield City, I can easily deal with you." The man in the demon
"Baam!"Following a deafening noise, the man in the demon mask stood still and Hans was sent flying by the wave of true energy radiating off of his opponent.Hans managed to land on his feet but backed away a few steps under the impact.Another man at the Peak Supreme State sent a wave of true energy to block the aftermath of the true energy from the man in the mask; still, Hans paled as he felt his blood boil."The Semi Overlord State!" Sensing the true strength of the man in the demon mask, Quinton gaped.The Overlord State was the level above the Supreme State. As the second milestone of the way in martial arts, it was an even bigger challenge compared to the Supreme State.Martial artists at the Peak Innate State would often need to work for four to five years before reaching the Realm of a Supreme Master; and for martial artists at the Peak Supreme State, it would take up to ten years of work with the combination of luck for them to reach the level above.In conclusion, the
Anton shot Quinton a knowing look, before doing the same to Hans."Hans and I will stall! The rest of you will escort Mister Quinton out of here!" Anton roared. Both he and Hans darted toward the man in the demon mask.The two martial artists at the Advanced Supreme State immediately came to a realization and led the other two bodyguards as they hurried toward the other men in masks."Want to leave? It won't be that easy!" Six men in masks charged toward Quinton and his four guards, leaving another six men to stand behind to remain in a line of defense."Advanced Supreme State? The Intermediate Supreme State?!" Quinton gaped.As soon as they approached, Quinton could sense that there were three men at the Advanced Supreme State and three men at the Intermediate Supreme State.With only a few men on his side, Quinton knew that he did not stand a chance.A single martial artist at the Semi Overlord State could easily defeat three to four martial artists.Despite teaming up agains
"I want to make you a deal! I'll hand you the three Pure Energy Pills, but I'm taking all the Energy Nurturing Pills!" Quinton said coldly.Eight thousand Energy Nurturing Pills were worth far more than three Pure Energy Pills in terms of commercial value. Under the current circumstances, he decided to forego the Pure Energy Pills in order to protect the Energy Nurturing Pills."And if I say no?" asked the man in the demon mask."Then I'll destroy everything, and none of us will get anything!" scoffed Quinton."Are you afraid I'll kill you if you do?" The man's body exuded a cold, malicious aura."Do it, then!" Quinton smirked contemptuously. Though the Hunts were not a family in Springfield City, they had access to a plethora of martial artists, some of whom were at the Semi Overlord State and even the Overlord State. The Hunts would hunt him down if the man in the demon mask murdered him in cold blood.Quinton thought the man in the demon mask was wise enough to know which path
"How about this? Hans, take these two men with you and leave with the Energy Nurturing Pills. I'll stay to protect Mister Quinton. If these people break the deal after getting their hands on the Pure Energy Pills, I'll risk my life to fight them!" Anton said."Um, alright." Hans nodded. He and the other two martial artists in the Advanced Supreme State collected the Energy Nurturing Pills, leaving Anton and two other guards to stay with Quinton. Right before leaving, Hans shot the man in the demon mask a cold look."I don't care who you are, but if you dare to hurt Quinton, the Hunts will do everything in our power to find you and tear you into shreds!" He swore, before taking off in the car.Ten minutes passed, and the man in the demon mask urged, "Mister Hunt, your men are long gone. Can you hand the Pure Energy Pills over now?""Wait," Quinton said calmly.Another ten minutes passed and the man urged again impatiently, "We have waited long enough, Mister Hunt!"Instead of answ
"These three pills are mine! The two don't contradict one another," The man in the demon mask said.The young man soon came to a realization and said, "Dad, do you intend on getting to the Overlord State with these pills?""Yes. That's right! Leon Wolf said during the sales drive that anyone at the Peak Supreme State or lower can consume the Pure Energy Pills and that would enhance the chances of a breakthrough to levels above the Peak Supreme State! I'm in the Semi Overlord State and that's still under the category of the Peak Supreme State. Energy Nurturing Pills won't be of much use to me, but the Pure Energy Pills are going to be useful and they might help me get to the Overlord State!" The man in the demon mask said excitedly."Be that as it may, the Overlord State is the second milestone for all martial artists and it's really hard to get to it compared to the first milestone! I don't think it's that likely for you to get to the Overlord State from the Semi Overlord State with
Since the Pure Energy Pills were made with countless rare ingredients, each pill contained a tremendous amount of pure power that could help with that. If he absorbed the pure energy of all three pills, his chances of reaching the Overlord State would be extremely high.Though taking three pills could be risky and he might lose his life in the process, he was willing to take the risk to reach the next level so he decided to let fate decide if he could succeed."That’s great! Dad, if you manage to reach the Overlord State, you will be the first people to do so among the second generation of martial artists in Springfield City! You'll have the power to fight even the heads of the Four Major Families!" The young man said gleefully."Haha! That's right! Once that happens, the Youngs, Umph!" The man in the demon mask snorted.Sensing the odd tone in his father's voice, the young man came to a realization and asked, "Dad, are you still in love with that woman that belongs to the Youngs?"
Cynthia gaped.She thought that Leon reached the Intermediate Supreme State with the Pure Energy Pill's help, not knowing that he reached the Foundation Phase after taking the Foundation Pill."Maybe I got lucky," Not wanting to continue the discussion, he changed the subject immediately. "What I accomplished is nothing. I just got lucky with the alchemical pills. Ruth Collins, on the other hand, managed to reach the Realm of a Supreme Master with her own effort. Her talent is terrifying!" Leon said respectfully."Yeah! Not only is she incredibly talented in martial arts, but she's also really pretty. The gods are so unfair for making her so perfect!" Cynthia said enviously.She knew that she was above Ruth in terms of beauty, but she could not hold a candle to Ruth's talent in martial arts.'You're also very pretty and you've been spoiled like a princess because you're the daughter of the Shears. Are you really in the position to say that the gods are unfair?' Leon thought to him
