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
Leon had a grudge against the Youngs and was a part of the Shears. How could the Youngs leave their fates in the hands of an enemy?It was just suicide!"That…" Iris had nothing else to say.She knew that what they said was reasonable. Leon was already Cynthia's boyfriend, so he had nothing to do with her!With Leon's relationship with the Youngs, it was already amazing that Leon did not take the chance to sabotage them. How could he be willing to help them!It would be useless even if Leon was willing to help them!She did not know much about Leon's medical abilities, but she did not think that Leon was a better doctor than Graham. She felt like Leon would probably not be able to save Elder Young!If she went to ask Leon for help, she would just humiliate herself, and she might even accidentally kill Elder Young!She found herself in a difficult position, not knowing what to do!"It's better to rely on ourselves! Iris, from the moment Leon rejected getting back together with
She had put so much of her efforts into Elegante Group to bring it up, but Daisy wanted to take it away just like that, even trying to sell the whole company!It was too shameless!"Why not? Elegante belonged to the Youngs anyway. The elder merely gave it to you temporarily! The Young Group is in trouble. Why can't we sell Elegante Group to protect the Young Group?" Daisy sneered.She never got along with Iris. It was a rare chance, so she planned on forcing Iris to sell the company, leaving Iris with nothing!That was the consequence of Iris going against her!"Yes, that's a good idea! Elegante Group is currently worth about 650 million. With the company's future potential, we should be able to sell it for a good price, possibly more than that!""That should solve the Young Group's troubles!"The older generation all nodded, agreeing with Daisy.In truth, all of them knew that it was meant to be a wedding gift from Elder Young to Iris, but Iris was not marrying anyone at that
Iris was incredibly frustrated.She was adamantly refusing to sell Elegante, not just for herself. She was also leaving a contingency behind for the Youngs!"That…"Hearing Iris' reasoning, Gilbert and the others were speechless.They knew that Iris was right. Leaving Elegante Group behind would definitely benefit the Youngs.Yet, surely they could not leave Elegante behind and abandon the Young Group?They were suddenly caught in a difficult position, not knowing what to do!Seeing as Gilbert and the others had already been convinced by Iris, Daisy did not panic. She smiled and said calmly, "Gilbert, since Iris doesn't want to sell Elegante, then let's forget about it!""But, what do we do about our financial situation if we don't sell Elegante?" Gilbert said with worry."That's simple. I think we can ask Harold Lowe for help!" Daisy said."The Northern King?" Gilbert was stunned."That's right. The Youngs fell into this predicament because the Fields, the Collins, the Shea
That had been their dream for many years!"No! I already told you. I won't agree to marry Jacob. Grandfather already agreed to this and already rejected the proposal a few days ago!" Iris said angrily!She never expected Daisy to be so sinister, first wanting to get her to sell Elegante, then turning around and planning on making her marry Jacob right after that!It was despicable!"That was then, and this is now! The elder handled everything in the family before this, but now that he's ill, your father makes all the decisions!" Daisy sneered."Yes, Daisy is right! Gilbert, times are different now. The Youngs are in a bad situation. If we get a marriage alliance with the Lowes, it'll be nothing but good for the family!""That's right, Gilbert. As long as you agree to let Iris and Jacob get engaged, we'll immediately support you in becoming the next head of the family!"They had wanted a marriage alliance between the two families in the first place. It was just that Elder Young h
"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
