"Do the two of you not know something so basic?!" Cynthia berated coldly."Miss Shear, you're right. We realized our mistakes now." The two brothers shuddered.There were laws and rules everywhere.Even though they joined Leon, they joined Cynthion Group in name.Leon was their master, and Cynthia was half their master as well.The two of them did not dare to talk back to Cynthia."Since it's your first offense, I'll forgive you. However, if there's a second time, I won't spare you easily even if Leon doesn't care!" Cynthia said coldly."Yes, we wouldn't dare. There won't be a second time," The two brothers answered in a hurry, but their hearts sank.Not only did they not get a Power Method, but they were also even forced to waste Pure Energy Pills for no reason. It was obvious how they would feel!However, they chose this path themselves. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do.After that, they resolved themselves and took the Pure Energy Pills.
Stephen and Spencer were using Advanced Power Methods, so their energy would not be as pure as Cynthia's.He deliberately let them take the Pure Energy Pills to overcome that deficiency. It was how the two of them suddenly showed signs of breaking through!Boom!Spencer was stronger than Stephen. His body jolted, and he broke through right to an Advanced Supreme Master!However, since he just broke through, his power was still not stable. He did not relax and hurriedly continued to use Demon Execution, planning on solidifying his power.Stephen was different. He was slightly weaker, and the energy within his body was not as dense as his brother's.Even with the help of Demon Execution and a Pure Energy Pill, he was still a bit away from breaking through.Right after that, he quickly let out a look of pain. There was a lot of sweat on his head, and his shirt was completely soaked.He looked like he was about to fail!"Stephen, open your mouth!"Leon shouted out coldly, taking
Spencer even lectured Stephen so much. He finally realized how funny and stupid his words were. He almost missed out on such an amazing thing!"What? The two of you finally realize your mistakes?" Cynthia let out a scoff, still unhappy about the matter."Miss Shear, thank you for your advice. If you didn't tell us earlier, we would have wasted such an amazing chance for no reason."Both Stephen and Spencer thanked Cynthia earnestly."That's more like it," Cynthia calmed down quite a bit."Alright, both of you, get up!" Leon said."Yes, Mister Wolf," Spencer and Stephen acknowledged before standing up."Spencer, I have something I need to tell the two of you. Power Methods are incredibly valuable. You can't let it be exposed! Let me make things clear. If either of you dares to let this leak out, I won't spare you!" Leon said seriously.Even though Power Methods were not as shocking as Absolute Methods, it would cause a lot of movement among Springfield City's major families if w
Cynthia pouted unhappily.Leon acted like he did not hear it and immediately changed the topic, "Spencer, the two of you joined Cynthion Group in such a hurry. I'm guessing you're not prepared yet." "Why don't we do it like this? I'll give you a few days. Go back and make your preparations. You can come after three days." "Thank you for understanding, Mister Wolf. We do have some private affairs to handle. If you don't have any other instructions, we'll take our leave." The brothers gave Leon a respectful bow before bidding their farewells and leaving. Looking at the two of them leave, Leon could no longer hold back the happiness in his heart, and he smiled.Initially, before he met Stephen and Spencer, he felt like it would already be quite amazing if he managed to get two peak Innate State martial artists to join him.Yet, he was so lucky. Not only did he get a Fairy Fruit, he even successfully recruited two intermediate Supreme Masters!No, to be more accurate, the two o
"I'm a part of the Youngs. I can't jeopardize the whole family for my own personal relationship!" Iris said earnestly.It was easy to be blinded when you were involved.Even at that moment, she still clung on to the fact that Leon only decided to date her because he had ill intentions toward the Youngs!"That-" Elder Young was caught in an awkward spot. He said after some hesitation, "Iris, from the current circumstances, there's only a very small chance that Leon wanted to harm our family.""Grandfather, what do you mean?" Iris was stunned.It was her grandfather and her father who were so certain that Leon only dated her to use her to get to the family fortune.However, at that moment, her grandfather said there was a very small chance. It went against what he said earlier.She was getting confused by it."Iris, let me be honest. During the sales drive, I suggested letting Leon get engaged to you and even offered so much money for him to establish a new company, but he reject
Yet, at that moment, Elder Young told her that Leon was wrongly accused.There was no way she could accept such a cruel truth!"Iris, did you hear that? I already told you that Leon was misunderstood, but you refused to believe it! So, are you finally willing to believe me?" Louisa jumped up and said with a huff.Her words were just like salt in the wound for Iris. Iris collapsed on the spot."Why…""Why did this happen…"Iris immediately fell into despair, and she was so sad that her tears started to fall.She started to cry on the table.She suffered the whole time since she broke up with Leon. She would constantly think of Leon.She thought that Leon was a sinister and petty person, so she bitterly accepted it for the sake of the family.However, everything was false, and she wrongly blamed Leon!Her moment of stupidity did not only deeply hurt herself, it deeply hurt Leon as well!At that moment, she seemed to feel like her heart was stabbed!"Iris, I'm sorry, it's all
"That's right!""Iris, just think about it in detail. During the sales drive, the other families kept on offering so many different conditions to Leon, but he rejected all of them without any hesitation.""Yet, he started to hesitate when I did it!" "Do you still remember that?" Elder Young said with a smile."Yes, I remember. He seemed to hesitate a bit back then," Iris said after some thought."Exactly! I think he hesitated because he still likes you. It's just that he did not want to be someone who would abandon his principles, so he chose to work with the Shears in the end!" Elder Young said."That might be true," Iris felt much better.She realized that she was the one Leon liked, and Leon did not choose Cynthia, so she felt much more relieved."Iris, getting back together is something that happens more easily if you do it faster. You need to find Leon as soon as possible, and avoid any delay!" Elderly Young did not forget to say.There were two reasons he was in such a
"On top of that, I was the one who didn't trust Leon enough. I can't say I'm not responsible for it at all."Iris took a deep breath, and she seemed to have decided as she said, "It's already too late today. I'll go look for Leon tomorrow morning and ask him to get back together…""That sounds good."Elder Young and Gilbert both let out sighs of relief."Iris, we were the ones at fault this time. When you meet Leon, tell him that we're sorry. I hope we'll be able to forgive us," Elder Young said.The last time, they really crossed the line when they kicked Leon out of the house.He should be the one to apologize to Leon, but he was still the head of the Youngs. He was someone incredibly noble, so he could not bring himself to apologize to Leon.He was forced to ask Iris to do it instea.d"I understand…" Iris answered. After that, she left the house with Louisa, returning to her own home.When Iris Left, Gilbert asked with some worry, "Dad, do you think Leon will agree to get b
"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
