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
Under the Dragon Corps' control, the Fields might not dare to actually murder Vincent and Benedict, they could capture them and destroy their powers. That way, they would not alert the Dragon Corps and could weaken the Shears at the same time."Quit bluffing, Denzel! If war is what you want, we'll aim to kill today until the very last moment! I'm old, anyway. It's a fair deal to trade our lives for the lives of your descendants!" Benedict sneered.There were only two Overlords among the Fields and they would not be able to restrain both Vincent and Benedict at the same time.Though their overall power was incomparable to that of the Fields, Benedict and Vincent could avoid Denzel and Walter, all the while focusing on attacking the Fields second and third generation descendants.By the time Denzel and Walter managed to kill them, they would have already killed the majority of the younger generations. Though Fields might not lose all their descendants, they would suffer a great loss.
"Fail to do so, and we'll make Theodore suffer twice of what Leon and Miss Poole did!" Benedict snorted."Why you!" Walter's expression darkened as he realized that he was rendered powerless."Also, a fair warning. Try harming Leon again, and it won't end that well for you the next time! Southern King, let's go!" Benedict said, before calling out to Vincent and turning to leave with the others."Damn it!" Walter was furious as Benedict and the others left. However, Theodore was held hostage and the Fields could not do anything other than allowing Benedict to leave."Elder, what should we do now?" One of the Fields asked worriedly."What else can we do? Benedict might be asking for money on the surface, but this is just his way of warning us to leave Leon alone!" Walter spat resentfully.Walter knew that money was not Benedict's true intention and that he merely aimed to teach the Fields a lesson. If they dared to attack Leon again, the Shears might do whatever it took to seek rev
Cynthia utilized the Shears' connection to look into the martial artists' background and selected six out of all applicants in the end. Along with Spencer and Stephen, there were a total of eight martial artists and Leon successfully built the foundation for his army.On the other side of the city.Theodore was the future leader of the Fields and Walter could not allow anything to happen to him. In the end, he was forced to compensate Leon and Snow 65 million. In return, Benedict and Vincent released Theodore as promised.Meanwhile, Louisa heard from Iris that Leon and Cynthia were 'together' and immediately tried to confront Leon, but was stopped by Iris.Louisa was never one to give up when stopped by others, so she would have gone to confront Leon in secret, if she was not distracted by the marriage proposal by the Northern King, Harold Lowe.Iris refused to accept the proposal and even threatened to kill herself, but all the Youngs, including Albert and Gilbert, hoped that Iri
After witnessing Leon's capability and seeing how he rescued Janice before, Leanne longed to have Leon as her son-in-law. However, Leon seemed to have completely disappeared from their sights and she was helpless in trying to put Janice and Leon together."Mom, stop it. I'm not going out with Leon," Janice blushed and said."Janice, don't blame me for being nosy, but a man like Leon is a rare gem and you have to catch him while you can, or you won't find another man as great!" Leanne deadpanned."Yeah. I know. I'll try my best," Janice said sheepishly."What? Are you willing to try?" Janice was shocked and could not believe what she heard for a moment.She told her daughter to hold onto Leon a long time ago, but Janice was not in love with Leon at the time and refused to act. However, Janice changed her mind and agreed with her mother.Janice blushed and nodded. "Yeah. I used to see Leon as a good friend and I didn't feel anything for him romantically. But ever since he saved me
