“Don’t worry, Theodore! Leon is only in the Intermediate Overlord State and hasn’t gotten to the next

power level just yet! Besides, he’s all alone. Even if he reaches the Advanced Overlord State, he can’t

fight us all!” Walter said.

Back when Walter fought Leon, he sensed that Leon was only at the Intermediate State, or he would

have never managed to escape from Leon so easily.

Considering Leon’s current strength, the Fields could no longer attack him, but Leon was merely an

orphan with no support from his own family, so he would not be able to harm the Fields either.

“That might be true, but Leon is still young and is insanely talented! With a few years‘ time, he might

get to the Peak Overlord State or even higher. How are we going to defend ourselves from him then?”

Theodore said worriedly.

“Well,” Walter was instantly rendered speechless, as Theodore was right; Leon was incredibly talented

and would surely reach higher levels in the future.

Leon might not have the power to eliminate the Fields at the moment, but he would soon grow to

possess enough strength to do so and the Fields would suffer the same fate as the Lowes.

“He wants to get rid of us? No way! Theodore, have you forgotten that we have your sister’s help?”

Denzel sneered.

“Dad, are you referring to Lilith and the Lapwoods?” Theodore instantly realized what Denzel was

talking about.

He had an elder sister named Lilith, who married the second son of the Lapwoods from Solum City,

Sean

Lapwood a few years ago.

Lilith and Sean studied at the same university and dated since then, so they naturally got married after

graduation.

“That’s right!”

“The Lapwoods are far more powerful than us and if they are willing to interfere, they will be able to

eliminate Leon for us!” Denzel narrowed his eyes slyly.

Springfield City was merely one of the cities within Solum County and the Lapwoods were an influential

family in Solum County in general. Though Leon became the top martial artist in Springfield City, he

would be vulnerable in front of a powerful family like the Lapwoods.

“Denzel, it’s not as simple as you think!” Walter shook his head, “Sean’s only the second son of the

Lapwoods and he doesn’t have much of a say. I’m afraid the Lapwoods won’t interfere with the internal

matters of Springfield City for his and Lilith’s sake.”

Walter knew that Springfield City and Solum County belonged to two different regions and under the

watchful eyes of the Dragon Corps, people in Solum County could not interfere with matters in

Springfield City. On top of that, Sean was not the heir of the Lapwoods, so the Lapwoods would never

fight Leon for the sake of Sean and Lilith.

“Dad, they might not have helped us if it was in the past, but things are different now, I received a call

from Lilith two days ago and she said the eldest son of the Lapwoods was in an accident and Sean has

been named the heir! So long as Lilith manages to convince her husband, the Lapwoods will be on our

side!“
