The middle-aged man at the lead had a glint of malice in his eyes, and his aura was no different. One could easily tell that this man was not to be messed with. This was none other than the Laughing Tiger—Riker Smith himself! "Mister Smith, you're finally here!" Hunter and Chimp were overjoyed to see him. "What's happening here, Hunter, Chimp?" Riker asked. Due to the overwhelming amount of people in the room, he did not notice Leon and Snow sitting there at all. "Mister Smith, Leopard got some martial artist at the Initial Innate State to challenge us and injured Hunter in the process," Chimp gave Riker a brief description of what happened. "Initial Innate State? Who dares to challenge my authority like this? Does he have a death wish? Who is this man?" Riker sneered at this. He already attained the Intermediate Innate State, and there were rarely few, if any, that could compete with him. Not to mention that his so-called opponent was just in the Initial Innate State and w
One could only imagine how shocked they were to discover that Snow Poole showed up at Mistcloud Mountain. "Mister Wolf, congratulations! I can't believe that Miss Poole right here is none other than the daughter of the Southern King," An expression of delight crossed Leopard's face. He never thought that after breaking up with Iris, Leon would get involved with the Southern King's daughter, whose reputation and beauty was equally as renowned as Iris'! Leopard could not help feeling in awe of Leon's charm and charisma. He finally realized why Leon was so calm before this—it was because Leon had the southern King behind his back! Riker's legs gave out beneath him, and he immediately fell onto his knees. "Mister Wolf, I didn't know you arrived. I didn't mean to cross you at all! Please accept my sincerest apologies!" Sweat dripped down his forehead as Riker begged continuously for Leon's mercy, but one thing was clear—he did not beg for Snow's mercy at all. The Northern and Sout
"What nonsense! How dare you even suggest something like that? How dare you even suggest the idea of kidnapping Miss Poole for your selfish gain?" Riker was so horrified by Chimp's daring conquest that he leaped up and gave Chimp a hard kick. The truth was, he knew that Chimp's idea was a good one; even though Snow was just slightly more advanced than him in her martial arts training, he knew that with his subordinates' help, he could easily overpower her and capture her. However, there was a catch—Leon breathed down his neck at this exact moment, and Riker knew full well the extent of Leon's powers, as well as his close relationship with the Southern King, Vincent Poole. He would never dare to lay even a finger on Snow with Leon watching! "Mister Smith, I mean it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if we let it slip, we'll never be able to carry this out again," Chimp tried desperately to ignore the excruciating pain from his abdomen, where Riker's strike landed and
It was certainly a great shock for everyone to find out that not only did Leon manage to become president of Cynthion Group at such a young age, but even attained the Advanced Supreme State! Leopard was the most astounded out of all of them; just a couple of months ago, when Leon's training only attained the Advanced Acquired State, he almost killed Leon, but now, Leon managed to turn the tables and advance so much in his martial arts training! This was almost unbelievable! "Chimp, even Mister Lowe and the Northern King himself have to show President Wolf some respect, so how do you have the audacity to even suggest such an outrageous plan in front of him? I don't care if you have a death sentence; please leave me out of it!" Riker scoffed, mentally cursing Chimp's stupidity. Even though Leon did not possess any substantial power or belong to a family of his own, he still had the Shears, the Southern King, and the Wicks behind his back. Not even the Northern King nor the Fi
"Yes, President Wolf, is there anything else I can help with?" Riker asked cautiously. "Do I need to teach you how you're supposed to punish your subordinates?" Leon said coldly, pointing at Chimp, who was still slumped on the ground in a state of shock. One could never forsake the laws of the Gangster World! The first time Leon met Leopard, they got into a conflict and he even suffered an injury as a result of their unpleasant first encounter. However, he admired Leopard for his strongly upheld beliefs, and in the end, not only did he forgive Leopard for injuring him, but even helped beg Iris for mercy. However, this was a different case with Chimp. Chimp lusted after Snow the moment he laid eyes on her and intended to harm her, which was against a martial artist's principles! Leon despised people like this with all his heart and thus, vowed not to let Chimp go so easily. "Please don't do this, President Wolf," Chimp quickly dragged himself to Leon and kneeled before hi
Leopard knew that in promising to help Leon in the future, he was indirectly getting protection from Leon as well. "Don't be so courteous. Come, get up," Leon said, smiling, as he helped Leopard up. Meanwhile, in the Fields' family room, Walter summoned all the important members of the family for a meeting.At the sales drive the day before, not only did Leon choose to continue working with the Shears, but he even defeated Haroon, the best fighter of their collateral descendants, thus humiliating the Fields' reputation beyond repair!How could Walter and the rest of the Fields possibly let this go?"Grandpa, that Leon Wolf is getting out of control! He's purposely picking battles against us over and over, and now has chosen to side with the wretched Shears! We can't let him off the hook so easily!" Theodore said in frustration."He's right! Mister Fields, the Shears have always been our enemy, and now that Leon has agreed to work with them, they would surely gain power and succ
"Mister Fields has already attained the Peak Supreme State a few years ago, and there are only a handful of people who can ever defeat him! that Leon Wolf is no match for him at all!" "That's right. Leon Wolf has only attained the Advanced Supreme State, and Mister Fields can defeat him as easily as reciting the alphabet!" The Fields family murmured in agreement. After the duel between Leon and Haroon, they could all tell that Leon probably just attained the Advanced Supreme State not long ago, and as long as the Fields sent someone with higher training to attack him, they could easily get rid of Leon Wolf! Besides, Morgan was one of the best, even among his league, and this would surely not be a problem for him at all! "Well, that's settled then! I'll hand this task over to you, Morgan! I'll send two other fighters with Advanced Supreme State to assist you and ensure that nothing goes wrong in this mission!" Walter nodded in approval. He knew of the true extent of his son
Halfway, a black car began tailing them without their knowledge. As the daughter of the Southern King, Snow was naturally more adept at noticing things like these and quickly realized something was amiss. "Leon, I think we're being followed!" she reminded him. "What? Really?" Leon glanced in the rearview mirror and immediately saw that a black car was indeed following them. However, he was not certain if the car was truly following them or if they just so happened to be heading in the same direction. "You should try testing them," Snow suggested. Leon understood, and attempted to change his speed at random; sometimes he would intentionally slow down, and other times, speed up without warning. As they anticipated, the car behind them would do the same; it slowed down every time Leon did, and sped up every time Leon zipped away. It was clear they were being followed. "Who can it be?" Leon furrowed his brows, trying to figure out who it was, and what their intentions wer
"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
