Chapter 971
“Leave this to me, boss!” Jackson volunteered. He knew that Leon was already at the Peak Supreme State, but he
already attained the Semi Overlord State two years ago, and his power was on par with Harold before
this!
Why would he even take notice of someone like Leon?
“Hmm, alright!” Harold was silent for a moment, then agreed. He already crossed paths with Leon at the Youngs‘
ceremony, and at that time, he could tell that Leon was only at the Peak Supreme State and was yet
to attain the Overlord State.
There was a significant difference between the Peak Supreme State and the Semi Overlord State, and they were
not on the same level at all! Therefore, it would be as easy as ABC for Jackson to defeat him!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe did not even need to take Leon on himself–by handing him over to Jackson, this would save him the trouble of
getting involved and risking ruining his reputation as the Northern King!
“Alright, Jackson taking over from the Northern King is the best option we have!”
“That’s right. Jackson has already attained the Semi Overlord State, and no matter how talented Leon is, he
still can’t compare to Jackson at all!”
Melvin and the rest let out sighs of relief upon hearing this. After all, to be humiliated by a little girl like Ruth was
certainly not a pleasant experience, and with Jackson taking over, this would help win the Youngs’ and Harold’s
dignity back!
“Ruth, who are these people?” Leon furrowed his brows in confusion as he did not recognize Jackson.
“That man’s name is Jackson, and he’s Harold Lowe’s best fighter. He’s already attained the Semi Overlord State,”
Ruth explained to him, but she was secretly feeling both excited and worried at this.
On the one hand, she was delighted because she knew that Jackson was still a far cry from Harold, and for him to
take Harold’s place in fighting Leon was a far better trade–off than fighting Harold directly!
However, on the other hand, considering that Jackson was already at the Semi Overlord State, Leon would
not be a match for him at all!
“Just the Overlord State?” Leon muttered as a glint of mischief flashed through his eyes.
If this happened in the past, he would never be able to defeat someone at the Overlord State, even if he used every
single tactic he knew!
However, now, things were different–just that afternoon, he managed to attain the Innate state, which was a huge
leap from his previous Peak Acquired State!
Although the Peak Acquired State and the Initial Innate State were just one level above the other, it was still a
significant leap in power.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though the Innate State was still a far cry from the Overlord State, with his practice of the Sage Arts, Leon
knew that he stood a chance against someone from the Overlord State!
However, this was not the point–the point was, if Harold were to take him on, there was no doubt he would lose
against Harold!
Leon could not believe that Harold underestimated him so much and sent Jackson to fight him instead!
If Leon could find a way to hold up against Jackson’s attacks and wait for the perfect opportunity to fight back, he
still stood a chance of winning!
“Leon, this is a perfect opportunity. When you fight with Jackson, you have to find a way to escape while he’s
distracted,” Ruth whispered in his ear. She heard a long time ago that Leon already attained the Peak Supreme
State, and if the rumors were true, this meant that Leon could hold up against Jackson and could find a way to
escape somehow!
However, unfortunately, when they were fighting each other that afternoon, she could sense that Leon was not at
the Peak Supreme State at all, and instead at the Intermediate Supreme State at most, which was not
much better than hers.
