Yet, considering her relationship with Harold, there was no way she could just ignore the man!Just as she was caught in a difficult spot, she suddenly had an idea in her mind."Uncle, you should know everything well. The Young Group managed to get past this difficult stage because of the Northern King's help. He's our benefactor. If we just let him die like this, it would be too dishonorable! On top of that, he's a guest that we invited over this time. If we just let Leon and the Shears do whatever they want with him, then it would be hard for us to explain if words got out!" Daisy said firmly."That-" Melvin had nothing to say about that.Even though Daisy was a bit suspicious, it was not like what she said was unreasonable.After all, Harold was a guest the Youngs invited over. If anything happened to Harold in their own territory, it would be really bad for their reputation!The moment anyone else found out about it, they would think that the Youngs were afraid of Leon and
After that, everyone retreated, giving Benedict and Harold enough space."First strike!" Benedict said coldly, quickly striking Harold with an incredibly imposing strike.Harold knew that Benedict was much more powerful than he was, so he did not dare to take it head on. He dodged, avoiding Benedict's first attack."Second strike!" Before Harold could react, Benedict let out a second strike, sealing off Harold's retreat.Harold already expected that, and he was an Overlord State expert in the end. He quickly dodged away from Benedict's second attack."This is the last one!"Benedict had a glint in his eyes as the third attack quickly shot right at Harold's chest."I thought intermediate Overlord State martial artists were incredibly strong, but it looks like you're nothing!"Harold let out a disdainful smile as he avoided Benedict's thunderous strike!Yet, before he could get his footing, he suddenly realized that Benedict's attack was strange. His attack sounded thunderous,
"Elder Shear, thank you for your lesson today. I'll remember it and pay you back some day!" Harold clutched his chest as he crawled up the ground, his face full of hatred."Let's see if you have the skills in the future!" Benedict sniffed.Harold was just at the initial Overlord State. There was still a wide gulf between them. It would probably take at least eight to ten years for Harold to exceed him.Before that happened, it would be a pipe dream for the Lowes to fight the Shears!"Harold, now that the three strikes from Elder Shear are done, it's time for the Hunts to deal with you!" Quinton sneered as he walked forward with the experts from the Hunts."Quinton, what's the meaning of this? Elder shear already agreed to put things aside after three strikes from him! Are the Hunts planning on going against that?!" Harold's expression sank."That's right, Elder Shear did say so, but Mister Wolf and the Shears' conflicts against you have nothing to do with us! You stole three Pure
Quinton had a cold look on his face."Impossible! I've already used the Pure Energy Pills. Just name a price. I'll pay for your losses according to the market price," Harold shook his head and said."You…"Quinton was furious, but there was nothing she could do.After all, the Pure Energy Pills were something Leon made exclusively. It was incredibly rare. Since Harold already used them, there was no way Harold could return it to the Hunts."Whatever, let's make it a hundred and thirty million then. As long as you compensate us with a hundred and thirty million, our grudges will end here!" Quinton said."If that's the price, then so bite it. I'll have someone send you the money later!" Harold's face darkened slightly, but he quickly agreed.Even though three Pure Energy Pills were not actually worth that much, it was still incredibly rare.For the sake of settling the score with the Hunts, he was forced to agree."That's more like it!"Quinton and the Hunts looked much calmer
Iris and he were already at the end of their time together. He planned on accepting Cynthia's love and starting a new life for himself!"I'm willing! Of course I'm willing!"Cynthia was ecstatic as she nodded excitedly. Her smile threatened to split her face apart.She knew that the person Leon loved was Iris, and knew that Leon clung on to Iris the whole time. She was just quietly waiting by Leon's side, waiting for Leon to turn around and look at her!She finally got what she wanted after working so hard.It was obvious how happy and excited she was."Good, this is great!""Leon, let's go back right now and prepare for your engagement!" Benedict was very surprised, and he started to laugh happily.After he noticed that his granddaughter liked Leon, he tried to get the two of them together. Yet, Leon never mentioned anything about this before, and he did not want to force Leon.Leon finally said something about it, and Leon went straight to engagement!It suited Benedict p
When it came to the major families, once a daughter married out, the daughter was no longer a part of them. Louisa and Linda were considered outsiders, and they did not participate in the gathering at that time.However, the two of them heard of what happened, that Gilbert and Iris were forced out of the family."Gilbert, what happened? Weren't you supposed to take over as the head of the family today? Why were you and Iris suddenly kicked out of the family?" Linda asked anxiously, not understanding how everything got to that stage."Don't even talk about it anymore! It's all that wretch, Daisy. She betrayed me for the sake of seizing power for Royce," Gilbert said viciously, explaining everything briefly."Daisy's too despicable! Dad only fell ill not too long ago, and she's already starting to fight for power. I don't know what she's even thinking!" Linda said angrily."At least Daisy has a reason for doing all of that. She might be a bit selfish for helping Royce seize power, b
"But,"Louisa was very unhappy. She was interrupted by Linda before she could finish."There are no buts! Your uncle and cousin have already gone through so much. Stop messing things up even more!" Linda said unhappily.She knew that Louisa was always a strange girl who was not afraid of anything. If Louisa tried to interfere with things, it might just make everything worse! "Fine then, I just won't go. So what?"Louisa could not do anything about it.However, she already made the decision that she would definitely ask Leon what happened in private!Before she could even think about it, a car was suddenly heard outside. Ariel rushed in in a hurry."Ariel, why are you here?"Iris looked confused when she saw Ariel.Since she already found out that Leon was the person who bought Elegante, and Ariel was completely in charge of the matter, it meant that this was definitely related to Ariel!She could not understand why Ariel helped Leon keep this a secret. She did not know if A
"Iris, I'm speaking the truth! Harold and Ashwin tried to work together to lower the price of Elegante and to buy it cheaply. Leon was the one who ruined their plans! Also, Leon knew that you had some misunderstandings about him, so it was difficult for him to make an appearance. He was forced to spend seven hundred and eighty million to purchase Elegante. He did so to help you and the Youngs." Ariel said everything seriously.She promised Leon that she would not tell Iris all of that, but with things as they were, she no longer cared about the promise.She told them the complete truth."What? Leon bought Elegante over to help me?" Iris was stunned, not believing her ears."I'm serious! Iris, let me be honest with you. You know how Leon's situation is. There's no way an orphan like him could have gotten so much money! To help you, he actually sold off all his shares in Cynthion Group to the Shears, barely managing to get the money needed! He practically gave up everything he had!
"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
