“Treasure? Can that be how he managed to defeat me?” Joel was shocked but felt that he saw clarity

at the same time.

Leon fell short in speed and explosive power compared to him and it baffled him as to how Leon

managed to defeat him.

Realization dawned on him that Leon might have won by relying on the treasure he owned as there

seemed to be no other possibility.

“I think so!” Seth misled himself into thinking that Leon defeated Joel with the help of the Spiritual Pearl.

What he did not know was that Leon succeeded with the help of the Mirror of Sovereign instead of the

Spiritual Pearl.

Tressures were extremely scarce and anyone would be lucky to come across one, so neither of them

could imagine that Leon had other treasures apart from the Spiritual Pearl.

“Cousin, a treasure is something that all martial artists would kill for. If we announce to the public that

Leon possesses a piece of treasure, countless people will be going after him for it! Even with the

Thompsons to back him up, his demise will be inevitable!’ Seth sneered and explained his plan.

Leon was merely a man without a background in the southern region, so made him an easy target for

anyone. Once people grouped to attack him, even the Thompsons would struggle to protect him; that

way, they could eliminate Leon without getting involved.

“No! We can’t let others know about it!’ Joel shook his head at Seth’s proposal.

“No? Why not?” Seth was slightly taken by surprise.

“I’m interested in that treasure, so I’m taking it from him! If others find out about the treasure, everyone

will go after it and it’ll be challenging for me to obtain it!” Joel explained.

He did not know the classification of the Spiritual Pearl for certain but assumed that it had to be in the

emperor class or above, or Leon would have never been able to defeat him with such ease.

Most weapons required offering of true energy and the weaker the wielder, the weaker the weapon

would be. Since Leon was only in the Peak Overlord State, it was likely that he did not utilize the full

potential of the weapon and it might wield far superior power if it was used by the Hiltons instead.

Since tressures were hard to come by, Joel was determined to obtain them and did not want other

competitors.

“I see!” Seth said but was still reluctant to give up. “But, how are we supposed to get rid of Leon, then?”

“Don’t worry. I have an idea. Right now, let’s settle the score with Gordon first! You’ll find out about my

plan later!” Joel said.

He only challenged Leon and faced defeat because Gordon misled him on purpose, so he decided to

make Gordon pay for it.

“Yeah! That bast*rd fooled us! We can’t spare him!” Seth gritted out. The group then proceeded to

leave by car under Joel’s instruction.
