“Yes, sir!” the guards immediately surrounded Leon and Iris.

“Tsk, you’re just a bunch of shrimps!” Leon was utterly enraged by this. He had expected the journey of

reuniting Iris with her family to be a smooth one, and he never once thought the guards would pester

them like this. Not only did Mister Umair fail to help pass their message to the Scammells, he even tried

to overpower and capture them! This was outrageous!

“How dare you look down on us, you punk? Eat this!” The guard was infuriated to hear this and

immediately lunged in Leon and Iris‘ direction.

Initial Innate State! Leon did not even blink when he sensed the guards‘ power level, and immediately

shielded Iris‘ body behind his, getting poised to unleash an attack.

“Be careful, Leon!” Iris cried out with a worried look. She was not concerned about Leon getting hurt,

she knew the extent of his power and did not think he would lose to them. But instead, she was worried

that he would accidentally hurt them during the process.

If Leon accidentally hurt and killed any of the guards, this would not go over well with the Scammells,

and would instead make the process of reuniting with them even harder. This was not the outcome she

wanted!

“Alright, I know.” Leon understood Iris‘ concern. He and Iris had come all the way to be reunited with

her family and get their hands on the Angel Fruit, so it would not be appropriate if he unleashed his

power and injured the Scammells‘ guards.

At the thought of this, Leon took his energy back and waited for the guards to release their attack on

him.

“Taste this, you punk!” The guards all sneered when they saw that Leon had nowhere to run. Although

they did not understand why Leon was standing motionless, they all knew that if Leon were to take the

brunt of this attack, he would easily be injured. However, before they could even react, what happened

next shook them all to the core!

The guards‘ attacks landed squarely in the middle of Leon’s chest but bounced off like plastic toys, and

Leon did not even flinch, as though they had tickled him.

With Leon’s protective sage energy surrounding him, coupled with the protection conferred by the

Mirror of Sovereign, these attacks would not hurt even a hair on his head.

With a swipe of his fists, two bursts of Initial Innate Energy surged out and barreled straight toward the

guards. None of the guards could dodge this in time, and their bodies were propelled backward by the

impact, flying through the air and finally landing in a heap on the ground.

Fortunately, Leon had taken things lightly and used only his spiritual energy in his attacks, which was

why the guards had suffered only minor injuries, nothing serious.

“How…how can this be?” Mister Umair was unable to believe his eyes. He had already sensed Leon’s

energy when he unleashed his attack, so he was confused as to how, despite being at the same power

level, Leon managed to fend off their attacks and even retaliate against them. This was unbelievable!

He would not even believe this was true If he had not seen it with his own two eyes!
