As Leonard approached step by step, fear finally crept into Anthony’s eyes.
Leonard exuded a palpable sense of danger, and Anthony didn’t doubt that Leonard might kill him
The reason he chose to align himself with Max was because Max had broken through to the Grand Master Realm, but Leonard’s current display of power was likely on par with, if not surpassing, Max’s.
All the doubts and questioning of Leonard within the Galen Group now seemed foolish.
Ibrahim had chosen Leonard because he had seen his potential a long time ago.
At this moment, Anthony looked upon the approaching Leonard with despair, feeling regret in his heart.
He thought, “If only I had known, having been standing by Leonard’s side all along might make me one of the first to support Leonard in the Galen Group. But now, I have played my strong hand poorly and may even pay with my life.”
“Anthony, originally, it didn’t matter to me who you sided with. I’m just making you understand one thing. In the face of absolute strength, alliances and support are all illusions. As long as my power is
sufficient and my fists are strong, I can crush all opposing forces.
“This is also why Ibrahim, knowing that you were ganging up and acting in collusion for selfish interests, still tolerated your actions. Because Ibrahim knew that with my strength, I could easily subdue all of your with a single blow.”
Leonard’s calm voice sounded.
Having broken through level four of the Black Dragon Skill, even the Grand Masters revered by martial artists didn’t seem significant in his eyes.
He didn’t care whether Anthony chose to stand by his side and follow him or not, but he knew if Anthony schemed against him, Anthony was courting death.
“So that’s how it is.”
Anthony understood something in an instant.
He thought, “This is Lord Clarkson’s true intention, and now it appeared that we had all been quite foolish.”
Just as Leonard was preparing to kill Anthony, suddenly, there was the sound of a car engine roaring closer in the distance.
An off-road vehicle raced towards them at a high speed.
The car screeched to a halt upon arrival. The car door swung open, and then Noam
Upon
a hint of surprise flickered in Noam’s eyes.
The young man following him also wore a completely astonished expression.
Anthony had been defeated, and it was a resounding defeat.
“Go test his strength.”
Noam instructed the young man beside him.
Leonard’s strength had made him cautious. After all, defeating Anthony meant he was likely approaching the Grand Master Realm, and that left Noam uncertain.
The young man didn’t dare to defy Noam’s words. His feet stomped the ground, and then he sprinted for Leonard like a galloping horse.
He knew well that he was surely no match for Leonard since Leonard could kill Anthony.
