"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
She could not comprehend how Leon, who had no power or money, could become the best of his generation in Springfield City/"Ariel, they're just saying that. It's not real," Leon chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head in embarrassment.He always preferred to keep a low profile and did not like being referred to as the best of his generation by the others."What the-"Ariel, Ashwin and Mister Mabre were all stunned. Though Leon was humble and refused to accept such a title, it also proved that it was true that he was referred to as the best of his generation by all the families in Springfield City.There were plenty of direct descendants from different lineages, some of the most brilliant individuals like Harvey and Anson and they all had powerful families behind their backs. However, Leon, who had no background at all, managed to surpass others to become the best of his generation.This was proof of how brilliant Leon was and it completely changed the way Ariel and Ashwin saw
Jacob was filled with jealousy.Ever since his father made a marriage proposal to the Youngs on his behalf to marry Iris, Iris was determined to turn him down and he realized that she was still in love with Leon; Iris was only forced to give up on Leon because Leon started seeing Cynthia.Iris and Cynthia were two of the Four Beauties with one ranking at the very top and the other ranking after her. Both women were goddesses that all men in Springfield dreamed about.Jacob was no exception to this and always fantasized about making one of them his, but they never seemed to take an interest in him. Hence, he could not accept the fact that Leon managed to attract and date both of them."This guy is Cynthia Shear's boyfriend, the future grandson-in-law to Elder Shear?!" Ashwin and Mister Mabre gasped.They already knew from earlier conversation that the Shears were running Cynthion Group, but did not expect Leon to be this close to the Shears.Ashwin, who knew about Leon's backgroun
Ashwin and Mister Mabre, too, noticed the dark expression on Leon's face and were both excited.'Forget what they say about him being the best of his generation. Looks like Mister Lowe is far more powerful, after all!' They thought to themselves."Leon, why don't we call it quits now? We can't afford to cross the Lowes. If they want Elegante Group, just let them have it," Ariel said.She could tell that Leon did not stand a chance and since he tried his best, she did not want him to get himself killed over Elegante Group.The Lowes were so powerful that Leon was bound to suffer and she did not want to be a witness to that."No way. I'm not letting this go! I said so before. I won't let others have Elegante Group!" Leon shook his head with determination."Know your place! Leon, I'll give you one last chance out of respect for the Shears! Kneel before me and apologize until I'm satisfied. I might consider letting you live!" Jacob said viciously.He was involved in several conflict
Even they could tell that Leon was bound to die."Leon, I've given you plenty of chances, yet you continue to challenge my patience. I haven't had the chance to deal with you yet, and here you are giving me the chance to do so. I'm going to make you pay for every single thing you did right here and now!" Jacob sneered."Make me pay? You? As if!" Leon smirked in contempt.Upon consuming the Dragon Pill, his power level rose to the Peak Supreme State with just a short distance away from the Semi-Overlord State; even if he was facing two martial artists at the Peak Supreme State, he might still stand a chance in winning."You're all talk! Ralph, Rocco, break his legs and bring him down on his knees before me! Let's see if he can continue being so stubborn then!" Jacob commanded the men behind him."Brat, prepare to die!" The two men darted toward Leon at the speed of lightning; the force from their fists pierced through the air, forming a strong wind that swirled in the room."Woah!
