"Hey, you twat, you'd better give that back right this instant, or else!" Mister Mabre was so outraged by this that he smacked the table and stood up. "Or else what? Show me what you got!" Leon chuckled and shot Mister Mabre a leering glance. "Hey, you asked for it!" Mister Mabre was utterly infuriated and immediately turned to glance at the two guards behind him. "Punish him for this, and don't hesitate to give it all you got, break his arms if you must, as long as you get the contract back!" "Yes, sir." The two guards stepped forward. Seeing this, Ashwin picked himself off the ground hastily and, remembering Leon's achievements from when they worked together, he quickly reminded, "Mister Mabre, this man knows martial arts, and he can take on several guards at once. Please tell your guards to be careful…" "That's okay, this is nothing! Don't worry, Vice President Mercer, these two are the martial artists that Master sent me, and no matter how good this twat is, he won't b
One did not need to be a rocket scientist to know that Leon was no match for Warren at all! "Thud!" Leon's finger made contact with Warren's, and with a loud crack, Warren's finger snapped in half. The spiritual energy seeping out of Leon's finger immediately tore Warren's true energy apart, slamming against his chest with a force that sent him flying. "Ah—" Warren's entire body was propelled backward, and with a loud thud, he hit the wall behind him and crumpled onto the ground. "How…how can this be?" Ashwin, Mister Mabre, and Dexter all stared at Leon with astounded looks. Neither of them ever thought that Leon's seemingly slow and weak attack would break Warren's finger and hurt him so severely! If they had not witnessed this with their own eyes, they would never believe this was true! Dexter was the most shocked out of all of them. He knew the extent of Warren's powers, and he did not sense any true energy in Leon at all, thus all the while he had been under the impres
Now that they had witnessed the true extent of Leon's powers, they were beginning to feel frightened of Dexter's outcome. "Don't worry, I lost because I underestimated thank punk, but Dexter is more powerful than I am, and it will be easy for him to defeat him!" Warren declared confidently. "That's good to hear." Ashwin and Mister Mercer let out sighs of relief as the weight lifted off their shoulders. Neither of them practiced martial arts, so they did not know what was happening, but since Warren, who was an expert in this, was confident that Dexter would win, they would believe him! A glimmer of hope ignited within them after hearing Warren's declarations. Leon ignored them entirely and instead turned to gaze at Dexter. "Do you have a death wish too?" "Don't be so full of yourself, you punk! So what if you're a practitioner of the External Powers at the Peak Advanced State? I'll show you who's boss now!" Dexter snarled as a surge of energy emitted from him. "You? Show
They were utterly stunned by the sight before them. The entire room seemed to fall silent. "Leon, that…that was amazing!" Ariel was the first to break out of her stupor. Her entire face was bright red with excitement, and her eyes were glinting with delight. She had witnessed Leon fighting with other people a few times in the past, but this was the first time she had ever seen him use something so powerful. It seemed he was far more formidable than she ever imagined him to be! Most importantly, she had always taken a liking to strong, athletic men like this, and Leon had, on several occasions, saved her from danger. This struck a chord within her, and she could feel herself falling even deeper for this man! "What…what was that?" as opposed to Ariel's joy, however, Ashwin and Mister Mabre were both pale with fear as they began to tremble. They were both utterly blown away by Leon's display of power, and Ashwin had even almost wet himself! Before Leon left Elegante Group,
"Mister Lowe? Who are you talking about?" Leon paused, and his leg froze in mid-air. "Who else can I possibly be talking about? Of course I'm referring to Jacob Lowe, son of the Northern King!" Ashwin quickly clung to his last hope. The Lowes were one of the most influential forces in the city, and Jacob was the direct descendant of the Lowe bloodline. Even though Leon was a master martial artist, the Lowes were known for birthing and nurturing powerful fighters. With Jacob behind his back, no matter how powerful Leon was, Ashwin was certain that he would not dare to hurt him! "I can't believe it's him!" after a brief moment of surprise, Leon burst into laughter. He had crossed paths with Jacob numerous times, and never once had Jacob made it out unscathed. He could not believe that Ashwin was attempting to use Jacob to scare him! However, on second thought, Leon realized something was amiss. Ashwin was representing Iris on this business meeting with Mister Mabre, so what d
Knowing Leon was a penniless orphan with nothing to his name and was a far cry from Jacob's wealth and power, Ashwin despised him even more. There was nothing they could do if Leon continued to bully them into abandoning their business transaction, and not even President Young could stop him, but Leon was stubborn and insisted on bringing this fight to Jacob! With Jacob's influence and power, defeating Leon would be as simple as swatting a fly! Ashwin was overjoyed and had already begun to plan how he would punish and torture Leon in Jacob's presence to exact revenge! In contrast, Ariel was solemn. "Have you lost your mind, Leon? You told them to call Jacob Lowe, despite the fact that the Lowes are one of the city's six major forces. Are you trying to kill yourself?" She clung to him in despair, asking. She was aware of Leon's background; despite being a skilled martial artist and a talented businessman, he came from nothing, and she did not believe he would be able to trium
Ariel sighed. She was in love with Leon and since she could not bring herself to leave him behind, she could only stand by his side."Don't worry. Like I said, it's going to be fine," Leon smiled, but did not elaborate further....Twenty minutes passed and they heard footsteps approaching."Baam!"Following a deafening sound, the door was kicked open and Jacob strode in with a few bodyguards."Mister Lowe!" Ashwin and the others were overjoyed and crawled their ways toward Jacob."Who dared to destroy our plan? Are they trying to die or something?!" Jacob roared viciously."Mister Lowe, that's the guy!" Ashwin and Mister Mabre pointed at Leon resentfully.Jacob turned to the direction they were pointing at and spotted Ariel, before noticing Leon."He's so scary," Ariel paled and was instantly intimidated by the malicious look in Jacob's eyes.She was only an ordinary civilian who rarely came into contact with powerful figures, so Jacob was the only powerful figure in Spring
"I told you that I found a company with a partner and that's Cynthion Group," Leon explained."I see!" Ariel said. She recalled Leon mentioning it and thought that Cynthion Group was merely a small company. However, since Jacob knew about Cynthion Group, she realized that it might be a famous company after all and was confused as to why she never heard of it in the past.Ashwin and Mister Mabre felt the same. Since neither of them heard of Cynthion Group, they assumed that it was an insignificant company."So, he's the Chairman of Cynthion Group!" Unlike Ariel, Ashwin and Mister Mabre, Dexter and Warren gaped.They were both martial artists and heard about Cynthion. They simply failed to guess that Leon was the chairman because of what Ashwin said to them.It was not until Jacob informed them about Leon's true identity that they realized they might have crossed the wrong person."It's just a fameless company. What's the big deal?" Ashwin and Mister Mabre scoffed, unable to unders
