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
Janice was always a rare beauty and with makeup, she looked even more alluring. The short dress outlined the curves of her body and she was wearing a pair of see-through stockings paired with heels.Though Janice was not as attractive as Iris and Cynthia, she was not far from them and was only not as elegant as they were. However, Janice had a gentle, approachable appearance that looked more beautiful as time went by, so she was a beauty that came after the Four Beauties in Springfield City."You look beautiful today, Janice!" Leon said sincerely."Thank you! Come in." She blushed and made way for him to go instead."Leon! Come take a seat!" Leanne was overjoyed and led Leon to the couch enthusiastically, while Leon set the gifts down onto the coffee table.After a brief exchange, Janice started looking at the clock worriedly.She did not expect Leon to visit when she had to head outside for work. She could not give up work, but neither did she want to leave Leon, so she was at a
The car door opened and a beautiful woman in her late twenties came out of the car. She had delicate features with a beauty mark at the corner of her lips; dressed in fashionable outfit, she gave a mature and sharp impression that made it obvious for others that she had to be a businesswoman."Miss Addice!" Janice waved her hand and hurried over.Janice worked for a company called Acme Corp, a famed fashion company in Springfield City. She worked as the sales department manager and the young woman ahead of her was her supervisor, Ava Addice, who worked as the sales director.Janice rose to her current position because Ava appreciated her ability and helped to put her in the manager position. Hence, though Ava was her supervisor at work, the two were close friends in private."Here you are, Janice. And who's this gentleman?" Ava walked over and was slightly shocked to find a man standing next to Janice."Miss Addice, allow me to introduce my friend, Leon Wolf. Leon, this is my boss
"I don't think that's appropriate." Janice was taken by shock."It's fine. Just tell him to stay quiet once the client arrives," Ava said casually.There was another reason behind her approval in letting Leon into the meeting room with them. According to what Ava knew, the person they were about to meet had a reputation of harassing females. If Leon came into the room with them, it might stop the client from doing anything inappropriate."Sure. Thank you, Miss Addice." Janice was overjoyed. She did not want Leon to wait alone outside and what Ava said helped resolve that perfectly.The three entered a luxurious private room in the hotel, where they took their seats to wait for the client.Over half an hour went by and though it was long past the agreed time, the client did not appear."Why isn't the client here yet?" Ava glanced at her watch impatiently and called the client to check on them. However, the client merely asked her to wait a while longer without a proper explanation
"The Westpraise Group only controls twenty percent of the sales channels, so they are hardly comparable to Wick Group. If the Westpraise Group is being unreasonable, why don't you try striking a deal with Wick Group instead?" Leon asked."Well, I don't really know." Janice shook her head.It was the company's board that decided which distributor to work with and as a department manager, Janice did not know much about the internal operations."Let me explain! The fashion line we produce can be considered semi-luxury, while Wick Group focuses on high-end brands and products. I've represented our company in the past to speak with someone from Wick Group in the past, but they didn't see a point in working with us and rejected me straight away," Ava sighed.Leon tapped himself on the forehead and muttered, "I see! I almost forgot about that!"Elegante Group was also forced to work with Westpraise Group because its brand did not fulfill Wick Group's requirement. Leon was lucky to encoun
The Wicks were one of the most powerful families in all of Springfield City with a total assets of over billions. Jensen, as the future leader of his family, was almost as mighty as a god to people in Springfield City and could not possibly know an ordinary man like Leon in Ava's point of view, so she could not bring herself to believe what Leon said."I'm not joking. I meant it-" Leon tried to explain himself, but was immediately interrupted by Ava."Enough! I don't want to hear any more of your lies! Whether you meant what you said or not, Wick Group focuses on working with high-end brands and our brand does not fit into that category, so they will never work with us!" Ava dismissed him.She had a great first impression on Leon at first, thinking that a man who won Janice's heart would be someone reliable, yet Leon bragged about being friends with powerful figures of the city and Ava felt nothing but disgust for him."It's fine if you don't want to believe me." Leon scowled in an
It would not have been realistic."I'm telling the truth," Janice wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Leon before she could finish her sentence."Janice, that's enough. I've parted ways with the Youngs," A sharp pain pierced through his chest as he thought of Iris.He was frustrated from being judged by Ava and now that Janice mentioned Iris, he felt even more depressed.His longing for Iris stung him and he was forced to realize how much he struggled to forget about Iris once again."Leon, what's wrong?" Janice muttered in confusion."It's fine, I need to go to the bathroom." Suppressing the misery that filled his chest, Leon got up to exit the room.Janice was confused as she watched him leave. She could sense that something might have happened to Leon, but she did not know what exactly.Ava, on the other hand, thought that Leon left to avoid being exposed for his lies."Janice, I've always seen you as a good friend and I have to tell you that based on my experiences a
"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
