If his calculations were correct, Leon was certain that in ten more minutes, one of the two would collapse, and he would be victorious once and for all! Morgan and Johnny, too, were aware of this. As time slipped by, their hearts sank deeper and deeper, yet they knew there was no other way. Meanwhile, after some period of rest, Daniel was beginning to feel better and slowly propped himself up from the ground. Morgan and Johnny were overjoyed by this. They initially lost all hope in their mission, and now, Daniel's revival ignited another spark of hope within them! Leon, on the other hand, was despaired to see this. He managed to keep the situation under control for now, and if Daniel were to join their forces, things would undoubtedly change. Thankfully, he crippled one of Daniel's arms and injured him severely, so even if Daniel were to join in, it would not prove to be much of a threat at all! "Number three, go bring the car around! We should go!" Morgan instructed him.
"You bastard!" Leon erupted in rage and brought down another wave of true energy upon Morgan, intending to force him to give up on his advances. However, Morgan was determined to get this small win for himself. Ignoring Leon's attacks, he drew his fist back and continued to attack Snow. Snow was utterly terrified by this. She darted backward in fear, attempting to dodge Morgan's strikes, but she was too far behind in her martial arts training in comparison to Morgan's. No matter how hard she tried, she could not seem to escape from Morgan's reach at all. Leon gritted his teeth at this. He knew that Morgan was forcing him to save Snow. If he did not get distracted by this, he could easily defeat Morgan with one simple punch, but at the same time, Morgan could easily defeat Snow as well! Morgan was deliberately doing this to buy time for his escape. His decision was proving to be the right one; Leon did not dare to leave Snow to fend for herself, and thus he had no choice but
Leon first helped Snow check her pulse, then gently grazed his finger against Snow's broken shoulder, intending to check it. "It hurts," Snow could not help yelping in pain at Leon's touch. "Snow, I can't believe how stupid you were. Why did you insist on protecting me? Have you gone insane?" Leon could not help feeling guilty about this. If Daniel's punch shifted even just a few inches away, it would strike Snow's heart and lungs, and she would not even be sitting up at this moment! "I've promised to treat you as my brother, and isn't it normal for sisters to take punches for their brothers? Besides, I only hurt my shoulder, that's all," Snow tried to reassure him. "Sister?" Leon froze as a wave of emotions overcame him. He was an orphan since birth and never experienced the warmth of having a family. When Snow promised to treat him as a brother, he thought she was just kidding, and never thought she would have meant it! Snow lunged forward and took this punch for him, ju
After about ten minutes, Leon tucked his things away and began removing the needles from Snow's shoulder. Snow, too, quickly freshened herself up. "How do you feel now, Snow?" Leon asked in concern. "I feel much better. My shoulder feels a bit tingly now, and it doesn't hurt as much anymore." Snow tried to move her shoulder around and an expression of delight crossed her face. She could not help being in awe of Leon's medicinal expertise once more. "That's great. I'll give you a prescription for you to take some medicine, and I'll help you do acupuncture again in a few days. With this regimen, I'm sure that your wound will heal quickly," Leon said, smiling. One typically required about a hundred days to heal musculoskeletal ailments like this. Even though Leon's expertise would help speed up Snow's healing, it still required at least a month before she could attain full recovery. "Thank you, Leon." Snow gave him a smile of gratitude. "You've already mentioned that yo
"It's fine. I'll help you inside." Snow grabbed Leon by his arm and dragged him into the mansion, before leading him into her room and setting him down onto her bed.Footsteps approached and Vincent strode in.A few of the guards noticed that something was wrong when Snow and Leon returned and immediately reported what they saw to Vincent, who hurried over to check on his daughter."Snow, what happened to him? What happened?" Vincent was shocked when he saw Leon laying on the bed."Dad, three masked men attacked us on our way back," Snow explained, before proceeding to describe the situation."What? You're saying that a martial artist in the Peak Supreme State attacked the two of you with the help of two other martial artists in the Advanced Supreme State, and that Leon beat them?" Vincent repeated what he heard in disbelief."Yeah." Snow nodded."That's not possible! Leon's only in the Advanced Supreme State. How can he defeat someone in the Peak Supreme State?" Vincent questio
"Seriously?" Leon gaped. He propped himself up using his arms, but struggled to do so without falling back to the bed as all his strength was drained.Snow noticed that he was trying to get up and walked over to help him up, before putting a pillow behind his back to support his weight so that he could sit up."It's true. According to what I've found, Harold disappeared to god knows where with a dozen martial artists that reached the Realm of a Supreme Master and didn't show up again until three to four hours later. That's too much of a coincidence to even call it that. I'm at least eighty percent sure that he was the one who ambushed Quinton Hunt!" Vincent said.Both Vincent and Harold were two powerful figures among martial artists and the two were always rivals, so he would not let Harold's disappearance for hours go unnoticed.Though Harold was careful not to leave any marks behind him, anyone would have been able to guess that he"Him?!" Leon was slightly taken aback.He sus
However, he was slightly weaker compared to Harold and would not be able to do anything even if he challenged Harold by himself; hence, he planned to work with the Shears.Not only was Snow injured, Leon clearly suffered worse injuries and considering Leon's connection with the Shears, Benedict would not stand idly by.'Let's see what Harold Lowe can do when he faces the wrath of the Pooles and the Shears!' Vincent thought to himself.Afterward, he took two bodyguards with him and escorted Leon back to the Shear Mansion.Inside the Shear Mansion, Benedict commanded the guards to take Vincent to the living room upon being informed about the visit.Inside the living room, Benedict sipped on his tea and waited for Vincent as he wondered what brought Vincent here.Shortly after, following the approaching footsteps, Vincent stepped into the living room followed by two other bodyguards who were carrying Leon inside with a medical stretcher.Seeing how weak Leon appeared to be, Benedic
He was blinded by anger and assumed that Harold was responsible for the attack, but immediately regained his composure at Benedict's words.As Benedict mentioned, Harold did not have a direct conflict with Leon and killing Leon would not do him any good. All things aside, everyone in Springfield City knew about the partnership between Leon and the Shears, so Harold definitely knew that he would be facing the Shears' wraith if he killed Leon.Based on what they knew about Harold, he would have never done anything that did not benefit the Lowes."Mister Poole, are you certain that Harold's men attacked Leon?" Benedict asked as he could not seem to think of a reason that Harold would attempt to kill Leon.Leon was no longer the nameless orphan as he once was and though Harold might do whatever he could to suppress Leon, he would never risk crossing the Shears by killing Leon."Well," Rendered speechless, Vincent turned to look at Leon."I'm not sure. I just guessed that it's Harold.
