"Brad, gather all the skilled martial artists in the family. I'm going to pay the Fields a visit to seek justice for Leon!" Benedict commanded coldly, his eyes glittered maliciously."Yes," Brad said, before turning to leave.Leon opened his mouth to speak, but could not decide on what to say.The Fields were far more powerful compared to the Northern King and he could not hope to defeat the Fields on his own; he just started building his own army and attempting to face the Fields on his own would not have been realistic at all. His only option was to rely on the Shears in hope that Benedict could seek justice for him."Elder Shear, thank you," Leon said without refusing Benedict's kindness.With Benedict's help to warn the Fields, they would not dare to attack Leon again and that would save him a lot of trouble."Elder Shear, I shall go back to get ready and come over again once I've gathered the martial artists of my family!" Vincent said, before leaving....Meanwhile, in th
"Morgan, what happened? How did you and Daniel get injured?" Walter paled and asked."Dad, I'm so sorry. We-" Morgan opened his mouth to explain, but could not bring himself to explain. He promised Walter that he would get rid of Leon and for safekeeping, Walter even ordered Daniel and Johnny to go with him.Morgan thought that Walter was being far too careful and only started to realize that it was Walter's wisdom that saved him from being killed by Leon."Did you fail to get rid of Leon Wolf?" Walter's heart skipped a beat as an ominous feeling took over him.The other Fields turned their attention to Morgan with anticipation, hoping to hear that he succeeded as the three were far more powerful than Leon and there was no way that they could failIn the very next moment, their hope shattered."Yes. We've failed and were almost killed by Leon," Morgan muttered shamefully."What?! How's that possible?! Leon's only in the Advanced Supreme State, so how can you fail?" Walter questi
Everyone in the room was frozen in shock."Is Leon Wolf even human?""How did he manage to reach the Semi Overlord State at such a young age?""Who knows? During the sales drive organized by Cynthion Group, I thought that reaching the Advanced Supreme State at his age was terrifying enough. Who would ever think that he is actually far more powerful than we anticipated? He sure hides his strength well!""Yeah! Do you think that he's still hiding something? Maybe he's already reached the Overlord State!"...All members of the Fields panicked as they whispered to one another in fear toward Leon.Leon reached the Semi Overlord State at such a young age and his potential was boundless, and since he managed to hide his true strength time and time again, they feared that Leon might have already reached the Overlord State; to make matters worse, such a brilliant man was working for their nemesis, the Shears, and they could no longer maintain their composure."Everyone, please rest ass
An hour ago, they were attacking Leon with the full intention of killing him, yet in the end, they needed the alchemical pills produced by Leon to treat their internal injuries.The irony in it brough strange looks on everyone's face.Knowing how effective the pills were, Morgan grabbed the flask and gritted out, "we bought this with our money and we can use it however we want!" He then proceeded to leave with Daniel."Come on, everyone. Back to the living room with me! Johnny, you are in better shape compared to those two, so come along. I have a lot of questions for you," Walter said.The group returned to the living room and took their seats."Johnny, describe the fight in your own words!" Walter commanded.Knowing one's enemies was the first step in defeating them, so Walter decided that he had to be more careful to prevent Leon from taking them by surprise the next time."Yes," Johnny stood and explained the fight in detail, leaving nothing behind."Are you saying that Sno
The others agreed along.The Fields did not have many martial artists in the Semi Overlord State at their disposal. There were five in total and two of them needed to remain within the Fields' properties to protect the others, so sending three of them would be the best that the Fields could do.The fact that they were willing to send three martial artists in the Semi Overlord State under such a circumstance showed how much they resented and feared Leon."Hm," Walter ran his fingers through his beard thoughtfully. He knew that sending three martial artists in the Semi Overlord State would guarantee success, but the previous failure alerted Leon and the Shears might send their men in the Semi Overlord State to protect Leon so it would not be as easy as the Fields thought it might be."It's bad out there. Bad news!" Another direct descendent of the Fields rushed in."What? What happened?" Walter scowled and roared impatiently."Elder, the Shears and the Southern King came with a gro
"Enough, Walter! You've sent your men to attack Leon and injured both him and Snow at the same time. They both came close to dying and we came today to seek justice for them!" Benedict said. A powerful aura oozed off of his body at the same time to block Walter's force."What are you talking about? How do we have anything to do with that? You keep saying that we attacked Leon, but do you have any proof?" Walter questioned sharply."According to what we found, Morgan, Daniel and Johnny Fields attacked Leon and they were all injured by him! If you are saying that the Fields have nothing to do with this, call those three out here right now! If there's not a scratch on them at all, we will leave right away!" Benedict sneered.The Fields were stunned as they did not expect the Shears to find the identities of the attackers. However, since Benedict was asking Morgan and the other two to show their faces, it meant that the Shears did not have other solid proof."Benedict, Daniel, Johnny a
Vincent's true energy swarmed toward Theodore.Unable to withstand the force that darted toward him, Theodore paled and spat blood, before collapsing onto the ground with no power to defend himself."How dare you?" The others did not expect Vincent to leap into action without warning and all started to roar in rage.One of the martial artists in the Semi Overlord State among the Fields stepped forward and charged toward Vincent's back in hope to force Vincent into letting Theodore go when he defended himself."Know your place!" Vincent snorted and launched a punch against the attacker."Baam!"Following the deafening sound, Vincent remained standing while the attacker was forced to back away.There were different levels within the Semi Overlord State as well and the Kings did not get their titles for no reasons at all. Even among martial artists of the same level, the Southern and Northern Kings were still one of the very best!Vincent simply casted a casual punch and the other
VIncent snorted."Vincent Poole, get over yourself. Do you really think that we are scared of you?! I'll give you one last chance to release Theodore and I can pretend that this never happened! If you refuse, we are going to destroy every last Poole after this!" Walter threatened coldly.The Kings' armies were far less powerful compared to the forces behind the Four Major Families, and the Fields could defeat the Pooles if they were determined to do so."Don't bother trying to intimidate me, Elder Field. I'm not so easily scared! The Pooles might not be as powerful as the Fields, but if you dare to do anything against us, we'll destroy you even if it means our demise!" Vincent swore.Vincent was the Southern King and he refused to be bullied; even if the Fields were capable of destroying him, he would not go down alone. Most importantly, all forces in Springfield City maintained a certain balance under the Dragon Corps' control.The Dragon Corps represented the country and had cou
