"My clothes are already ruined, what's there to talk about?!" Maisie sneered."That's not necessarily true! We'll know who's in the wrong after looking at the CCTV footage!" Leon pointed at the cameras on top, unhappy with how the owner was doing things as well.Maisie's expression suddenly darkened.Grover obviously knew what to do in that situation. It was obvious that Maisie had probably knocked over Shirley.However, Wilfred and Maisie were not people she could offend. He quickly made a decision!"The camera is broken. We can't look at the footage!" Grover waved it off and said impatiently."Is that so? It really broke at such a perfect moment!" Ariel scoffed."Stop wasting time! Where are the guards? Catch those three! They're all working together. That wretch even slapped me just now. Make sure you all teach the three of them a lesson. Beat them up until I'm satisfied!" Maisie ordered.Grover hesitated for a moment before he nodded, allowing it.After that, the four guar
"Brat, do you know who Young Master Javner is? He's the heir of Acme Corp! How dare a piece of trash like you try and go against him?!" Grover finally reacted as well.Suddenly everyone started to talk amongst one another, "So that person is the heir of Acme Corp! Acme Corp is one of the biggest companies among the second-tier families of Springfield City. They are rich and powerful. They're not someone anyone can offend!""That's right. This guy actually offended Wilfred. He's done for…"Everyone talked amongst themselves, and quite a few of them shot Leon looks of pity and sympathy.There were also a lot of them who were thankful that they did not rush forward earlier. Otherwise, they would not have been able to do anything against Wilfred!"Acme Corp?"Leon was taken aback, feeling like the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it, he quickly recalled the name.Janice and Ava were former employees at Acme Corp. He had just met the chairman of Acme Corp, Javner, two days
As he said that, Wilfred took out his phone to make some calls."Crap…"Ariel's expression changed at the sight.Acme Group was quite famous in the business world. She had heard of them before and knew that they were not to be messed with.Even though her family was a noted family of craftsmen, their fortunes were incredibly minuscule compared to the Acme Group.As for Leon. She knew that Leon knew martial arts, but she also knew that Leon was just an orphan without anything.Neither she nor Leon had the ability to clash against Acme Corp!"Leon, let's leave!" Ariel pulled at Leon's arm, wanting to leave before Wilfred's men arrived. That way, they might be able to avoid Wilfred's revenge."Why would we leave?"Leon found it strange.Since they decided to help, he would see things through.The female employee was still there. He could not just leave her alone!"Leon, you might not know this, but Acme Corp is rich and powerful. We can't afford to go against them…""We shoul
"Leon…Leon Wolf!" Mister Fred's eyes almost fell out of his head when he glanced in the direction Wilfred had pointed. He was there when Mister Javner got into the fight with Leon as he had been one of the bodyguards Javner brought along with him. At that time, he had attempted to attack Leon, but even with his Peak Acquired State, Leon had managed to defeat him as easily as ABC. Not only that, but soon after, the Wests sent out another martial artist who was already at the Intermediate Supreme State, but he could not stand a chance against Leon. In the end, Jared was so terrified by Leon that he immediately got on his knees to beg for mercy and did not even hesitate to break his own arm in doing so, which ultimately spared his life. Mister Fred had witnessed all these with his own eyes; thus, he knew better than anyone just how powerful Leon was! He could not believe that out of several billion people in this world, Wilfred had crossed the one man he feared the most. On
"Wilfred, I've only ever met Leon Wolf once, but from my encounter with him, I don't think he's a cruel or heartless person at all. You must get on your knees and apologize to him right now! If you're sincere enough, I'm sure someone as almighty as him will choose to show you mercy…" Donald said, trying to remain as calm as he could, despite the anxiety sweeping across his heart in waves. "Oh…alright." Wilfred hung up the phone, his legs trembling in fear. He had lost all the arrogance and haughtiness that he had flaunted just a few minutes ago. The audience was puzzled by this sight. "That's strange. Why isn't Young Master Javner sending his men after Leon?" "Who knows? Perhaps he has called some powerful government connection and asked him to help get rid of that fellow once and for all!" "Yes, that sounds possible!" Expressions of doubt and curiosity crossed their faces as they tried to guess what Wilfred had done. Most of them were adamant that Wilfred had probably c
"Mister Wolf, I had failed to recognize greatness even if it was placed right in front of me, and I truly apologize for offending you… Please forgive me for my carelessness," Wilfred pleaded. "What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to cripple me just now? Why did you change your mind so suddenly?" Leon raised his brows quizzically, but the truth was, he could guess that Wilfred had probably found out about his identity, which led to his 180-degree change in attitude. "I would never dare to do so… It was all just my ego talking, and I never meant any offense. Please forgive me, sir…" Wilfred broke out in nervous sweats upon hearing this. He gritted his teeth and proceeded to slap himself across the face multiple times, desperately trying to prove his sincerity to Leon. The spectators erupted into a flurry of whispers at this. "Who…who is this man? I can't believe Young Master Javner is so intimidated by him that he immediately got on his knees and even slapped himself just to
Leon's tone was cold when he said this. "Thank you, mighty one. We promise that this won't happen a second time…" After hearing this, Wilfred and the rest finally dared to get up. At this point, the backs of their shirts were utterly soaked with cold sweat. Wilfred was the most anxious out of all of them since he had heard from his father that when Jared crossed Leon, not only did he have to get on his knees to beg for mercy, but he even ended up breaking his own arm to compensate. The fact that Leon did not force him to break his own arm and instead chose to forgive him on the spot was a miracle! Unbeknownst to Wilfred, however, Leon had chosen to forgive him simply because he was an ordinary man and not a martial artist. Not only that, but since his apology had arrived early, Leon did not want to use his martial arts expertise as leverage over Wilfred, which was why he had chosen to let them off the hook. "Also, please pay Miss Shirley's salary right now, and since she go
Shirley was very grateful for their aid; she gave them both a bow to express her gratitude. "No need to thank us. It's all in a day's work." Leon smiled. He never expected Shirley to catch up with them just to thank them. "Please, I really want to repay the two of you for your help. I want to buy you lunch tomorrow to thank you for this. Will you be free?" Shirley asked rather sheepishly, her eyes glimmering with anticipation. "There's no need…" Leon shook his head. He could tell that Shirley was a poor but hardworking college student and did not want her to spend her hard-earned money on him. "But…" Shirley was insistent. "Shirley, you don't have to do that. The two of us need to be somewhere now, so we can talk about having lunch in the future," Ariel said, smiling. Shirley's integrity and kindness had touched her, and she could not help feeling fond of this hardworking young girl. "Oh…alright." Shirley was disappointed, to say the least. "Shirley, this is my name car
"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
