Chapter 982
“Leon, bring Ruth out of here before it’s too late! The Collins and I will take care of this!” George ordered.
“Will do! Let’s go, Ruth!” Leon did not hesitate at all and instead grabbed hold of Ruth and sprinted away.
“Jackson, don’t let that bugger get away!” Harold yelled. He spent so much time and effort trying to trap Leon and
was just moments away from killing him, so how could he let Leon go so easily?
Unfortunately, with George holding him off, he could not chase after Leon himself and instead had to send Jackson
and the rest of the Lowes to do this.
“Yes, sir!” Jackson shouted in response. Then, he, Marco, and some of the Lowes zipped away, darting toward Leon.
“You’ll have to go through us first!” The two Collins who were at the Semi Overlord State scoffed and darted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtforward, blocking their way. They stirred up powerful blasts of energy and charge toward Jackson and the
rest.
With the Collins defending him, Leon and Ruth soon disappeared into the night.
“Retreat!” George sent a powerful fist surging in Harold and Melvin’s way, then materialized in front of the Collins
and helped them fend off Jackson’s attacks.
Then, he led the rest of the Collins to escape, with himself taking up the rear to protect them.
Since George already attained the Intermediate Overlord State, neither Harold nor Melvin could stop him. They
watched in despair as George led the rest of the Collins out of the combat, disappearing into the night.
“Those wretched Collins! Mark my words, I’ll have my revenge on you for this!” Harold was so outraged that he let
loose a scream of sheer frustration.
Not only did George ruin his plans of killing Leon, he even attacked him so badly that he suffered substantial internal
injuries and vomited out blood.
One could only imagine the sheer hatred he bore toward George as a result!
Meanwhile, a few miles away from there, George and the rest soon caught up to Ruth, who was waiting for them at
a small hill.
“Huh? Ruthie, where’s Leon? Where’d he go?” seeing that Ruth was by herself, George wondered where Leon went.
He glanced around him but did not see any sign of Leon at all.
“Oh, he asked me to wait here and said he had to leave as he has something to take care of,” Ruth explained.
“Something to take care of? What could it be?” George was puzzled by this.
“I don’t know; he didn’t say, but he told me to pass on his message to you, Grandpa. He says that he’s grateful for

“Well, I hope he does. We’ve come through for him several times now, after all!” George smiled. “Come on, Ruthie,
let’s go home. I have something I want to talk to you about.”
“Alright.” Ruth nodded, then followed her grandfather home.
Young Mansion.
After splitting up with Ruth, Leon circled back to the Young Mansion. He arrived at a dark corner of the house, and
after making sure no one was around, slipped over the wall and snuck in.
It was clear that he was here to save Albert.
Even though the Youngs were tight with their security and Leon had no clue about the Youngs‘ internal layout, most
of the people protecting the mansion were not around, considering they were summoned from their workstations
to help Harold ambush him.
Naturally, the Youngs‘ security was far less strict than usual on this night.
