Elder Young's expression was cold."Leon? Old man, are you actually shameless? The Youngs kicked Leon out even after all he did for you, and you even agreed to help me deal with the Shears so we can deal with Leon just now! Now you're hoping that he'll help you get revenge? You really are shameless!"Harold had a look of mocking on his face as he started to laugh."That's right! Leon probably already hates you and Gilbert to the bone. If he found out what happened to you, he'd probably be laughing and clapping his hands. How could he bother getting revenge for you?! What a joke!" Daisy mocked, rubbing salt into Elder Young's wounds."You two…" Elder Young's face was turning red, unable to stand Harold and Daisy.It was like Harold said. When he agreed to ally himself with Harold, he had already decided to kill Leon off. It was just that he had wanted to try to take advantage of the situation, which was why he said he would not face Leon head on.Just a few minutes ago, he had pla
It did not sound possible at all! Suddenly, he was filled with regret. He regretted how ruthless he had been. Even if he had wanted to break Leon and Iris apart, he should not have kicked Leon out. Otherwise, the Youngs would have stood a chance if Leon was still around."Harold, why are you talking to this old man so much? Just kill him!" Daisy said coldly, sending a fist at Elder Young's vital spot."Wait!" Harold reached out and stopped Daisy's attack. After that, he hit Elder Young at the back of the head, knocking Elder Young unconscious. When he fell unconscious, Elder Young was not worried about his own life, but the family.The family was on the brink of disaster. His only hope was that Iris would be smart enough to discover Daisy and Harold's plot. After that, he hoped that Iris would do everything she could to get back together with Leon for the sake of the family. Then, for Iris' sake, Leon might help the family survive.Otherwise, if the Youngs were to be destroyed in h
"Daisy, I'll leave for now. You can handle everything else!"Harold gave Daisy a hug before he left the place without a trace. In truth, Daisy had secretly let him in for this visit, sono one knew he had been to visit the Youngs at all. There was no way anyone would find out what he did to Elder Young.After Harold left, Daisy composed herself before she quickly rushed to notify the older generation of the Youngs. She told them that Elder Young's old illness suddenly resurfaced, and he had fainted in the room.In the past few years, Elder Young's body had not been in a good state. He had fainted once before, and Leon had saved him. It was something everyone in the family knew. When Daisy said that Elder Young's illness was back, they had no reason to suspect Daisy.After that, the core figures of the family rushed over and saw Elder Young unconscious in the room.Before too long, Gilbert and Iris rushed over from their company when they received the news as well. There were no tra
"Graham, don't be alarmed! I just have a few things to tell you. When you treat Elder Young later, there are a few things I hope you can say, but there are a few things you can't!" the masked man said calmly, but the threatening tone in his voice was clear."What? Are you threatening me?" Graham's expression darkened, wondering who that person was and what his intentions were!"What if I am?" the masked man said coldly as he unleashed an incredibly strong wave of power at Graham."Overlord State!"Graham was shocked when he realized that that person was an Overlord State expert!The Eliots might be one of the powerful families in Springfield City, but the strongest among them was only a Semi Overlord State!Graham focused on medicine and never spent too much time on martial arts, so he was only an intermediate Supreme Master.An Overlord State expert could kill him incredibly easily!"Graham, I know you're a smart person. I hope you won't cause yourself any trouble. It would do
Iris, Gilbert, and the others fell silent.The Youngs had not only blamed Leon wrongly in the past, but they also kicked Leon out. Their relationship was in an awkward spot at that moment, and there was no way they could ask Leon to help treat Elder Young!Graham did not know what happened between them, so he paid it no mind.He had already led the Youngs to the answer. The Youngs could decide if they wanted Leon's help, and it would have nothing to do with him!"Mister Young, I'll prescribe some medicine for Elder Young. Make sure he has it on time every day. It might have some effects," Graham said after some hesitation.It was not just Elder Young's brain that had been injured, but his chest as well. He could not wake Elder Young up, but he could still treat Elder Young's internal injuries, so they did not get worse.When Elder Young's internal injuries were cured, there was a chance he could wake up. However, it was very unlikely!"Graham, thank you." Gilbert and the Young
However, the Youngs were still in a bad state despite that. If nothing surprising happened, the Youngs would be at their end if the Young Group was done for!…At Cynthion Group, Leon and Cynthia shared an office to make it easy for him to learn the ropes, but that was not the long-term plan.He was already familiar with company matters, so he was moved to a different office from Cynthia.In the chairman's office, Leon was earnestly working at his desk.At that moment, the door was opened, and Cynthia walked inside."Cynthia, do you need me for something?" Leon asked curiously, dropping his work for the moment.Cynthion Group was rapidly expanding. He had been busy dealing with work matters and did not know about what happened with the Youngs! "Leon, Elder Young fell sick…" Cynthia said after some hesitation."What? Elder Young was just fine. What happened?" Leon stood up in shock."I heard that Elder Young's old illness came back, but I'm not sure of the specifics…" Cynthia
Ever since Iris and the Youngs looked down on him, he had no reason to try to do anything!Of course, he did not know that Iris and the Youngs did not look down on him. They were just too embarrassed to ask him for help!"That's good. Cynthion Group might be somewhat influential in the city, but we still lack economic power. We can't help them at all!"Cynthia let out a sigh of relief.Cynthion Group's pills were the lifeblood of martial artists. When it came to the major families, they had a lot of influence.However, in terms of economic power, Cynthion Group's total assets did not even amount to a billion.The Young Group's losses were already way more than that. Even if Leon sold Cynthion Group, it would not be enough to cover their losses!"I know. I won't act recklessly…" Leon sighed and said.He knew that he could not help the Youngs financially, but if Iris had come to see him, he would have considered trying to cure Elder Young for her sake.Yet, Iris and the Youngs s
Yet, he still failed to figure out where they were from.Iris fell silent for a moment before she clenched her teeth and got up to head out."Iris, where are you going?" Gilbert asked."I'm going to look for Leon. I'll ask him for help. He's a very talented doctor. He might be able to save grandfather!" Iris said with a sigh.She already knew that Elder Young's illness would affect the family, but she never expected it to be so major!The Youngs were in an incredibly dangerous position. She could no longer care about her pride!For the sake of her family and her grandfather, she had to ask Leon for help. If Leon could cure her grandfather, then the Youngs might be able to turn things around!It was the only chance their family had!"No, you're not to see him!" Gilbert immediately denied."Why?" Iris was surprised as she looked at her father curiously, not understanding why he stopped her."Leon's already one of the Shears. He's one of our enemies…""The Shears are also one o
"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
