The van that had been tailing Leo also came to a stop, and five or six people got out of it.
The leader was a bald man with dragon and phoenix tattoos on his arms, as if he was missing the words “I’m a gangster!” on his forehead.
Baldy approached Leo and his voice cold as he asked, “Why are you following me?”
“Because we want your life!” Baldy replied. With a gesture from his right hand, his subordinates immediately drew out their machetes and surrounded Leo.
“Boss, it’s so easy to make money from such weaklings.”
“Hah, if I knew he was this useless, I could have dealt with him alone!”
“Do you know who our boss is? When you see our boss, you better kneel down and beg for mercy. If our boss is in a good mood, he might leave you with a whole corpse.”
“Brothers, stop scaring him. If we scare him to death, it won’t be fun.”
Baldy’s subordinates jeered and taunted Leo.
Leo’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just that smile alone made Baldy’s heart tremble, his mind filled with fear, and he took a step back.
Pointing angrily at Leo, Baldy said, “You’re about to die, and you still have the audacity to smile?”
Leo calmly said, “I truly admire your courage. Do weaklings like you deserve to act tough in front of me?”
“Oh my, this useless piece of garbage is so arrogant. Boss, let me handle it. I can kill him with just one finger!”
“You’re finished, you’ve brought trouble upon yourself. You’ve angered our boss, and you’ll have no place to be buried.”
“Damn, I can’t stand it anymore. Such a useless piece of garbage, daring to talk to our boss like that!”
Baldy’s subordinates, once again, approached Leo, and one of the show-off subordinates rushed towards Leo.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Leo’s mouth as he threw a punch.
“Ah!”
With a scream, the subordinate closest to Leo was directly sent flying and fell to the ground, blood spewing from his mouth.
This shook Baldy and his subordinates, despite their initial shock. Although Baldy was scared, he knew the principle that ants can kill an elephant, and he angrily shouted, “Attack together! Kill him with your machetes!”
Following his order, his subordinates gathered their courage and swung their machetes towards Leo.
What followed completely subverted Baldy’s worldview.
He saw Leo not avoiding at all, instead meeting the machetes head-on with his fists.
The machetes not only failed to cut Leo’s fists, but instead, their sharp blades folded under Leo’s fists, followed by a crisp snapping sound as they broke.
As the machetes kept breaking, a series of screams rang out.
In less than thirty seconds, all of Baldy’s subordinates were lying on the ground, vomiting blood and crying out in pain.
Baldy was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe it and took more than ten steps back in disbelief. “This… this is impossible!”
How could a soft, weak person be so powerful?
Leo took a step forward, grabbed Baldy by the collar, and lifted him up with one hand.
Baldy was horrified, cold sweat running down his back, and he quickly begged for mercy, “Big… big brother, I was wrong. Spare… spare me, please.”
Leo sneered, “Where did you go wrong? Weren’t you arrogant just now?”
“I won’t dare anymore. I won’t ever dare again.” Feeling the terrifying strength in Leo’s hand, Baldy looked desperate.
“You scum, I’ll give you a chance to live. Tell me honestly, who sent you?” Leo demanded.
“N… nobody. We were just… bored and decided to cause trouble for you, Boss,” Baldy immediately revealed Jessica’s name without any professional ethics.
Leo’s expression froze. “Jessica?”
“Yes, yes, it was Jessica!”
Leo casually threw Baldy, and he was thrown out like a weak chicken by Leo.
Later, there was a loud “bang!” as Baldy’s body slammed heavily into the windshield of the van, shattering it, and countless shards of glass pierced Baldy’s body.
After a series of agonizing screams, Baldy directly passed out.
The Baldy’s subordinates who had been knocked down by Leo on the ground also pretended to faint after seeing their boss’s miserable state.
Leo ignored them, turned back to his car, and continued on his way to the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
As for Jessica, his former mother-in-law who wanted to make a name for herself, Leo decided to find a suitable time to change her perception of him.
Arriving at the Seven Stars Sword Sect, Leo learned from Jennifer that Violet had returned to the family three days ago. Violet asked Jennifer to pass on a message to Leo that she would come to visit him for some time.
As for the Thunder Wing Beast, it had grown fully fledged wings and could fly, although carrying people in flight was still a bit difficult.
Although the Thunder Wing Beast had seen Leo only a few times since hatching, it was not unfamiliar with him due to the blood contract. When it saw Leo, it was as if a dog raised from a young age saw its master, extremely affectionate.
Leo gave the Thunder Wing Beast a name, calling it Little Wing.
After feeding Little Wing an Exotic Beast Elemental Pill and some Vitality Pills, Leo went to the Spirit Crocodile Cliff in the back mountain of the Seven Stars Sword Sect and began seclusion to break through to the Spirit General Realm.
…
The Henley Family’s Estate.
In the guest room in the backyard, two people lived there, Jamie and his master, Layton Nicholson.
After the failed incident of kidnapping Sophia to deal with Leo, Jamie, who had escaped, did not leave Langstel. Instead, under Bruno’s instructions, he invited his master, Layton, to come over.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Bruno’s mouth as he arrived in the backyard and knocked on the door of Layton and Jamie’s room.
“Who is it?” came a low, hoarse voice from inside the room.
“It’s me, Bruno!”
The door opened, and Jamie poked his head out, frowning as he asked, “Oh, it’s Mr. Henley. What do you want?”
Bruno tilted his head and glanced inside the room, where a mist-like smoke lingered.
“Is Master Nicholson here?” Bruno asked.
“My master is currently in cultivation. If it’s not urgent, please come back later,” Jamie replied to Bruno with indifference.
Bruno grinned and said, “Jamie, can we have a private conversation?”
Jamie stepped out of the room and closed the door.
They went to an open space outside the room, and Jamie asked, “Mr. Henley, what’s the matter? Just say it.”
After pondering for a moment, Bruno said, “Jamie, I’m still extremely frustrated about losing to that useless son-in-law Leo last time.”
Upon hearing this, Jamie’s expression instantly turned worse than if he had eaten a fly. “Mr. Henley, I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I will personally slaughter that freeloader!”
