Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 293: Wealth

A powerful sweep pushed Alan away. Paul suddenly slid back and pulled the distance away. Clasping his hands together, earth-yellow Origin Energy radiance rose, flickering like flames. Paul let out a breath and punched through the air, sending out a yellow light of Origin Energy from the tip of his fist towards Allen like a torrent.

Ellen did not dodge, he raised his hammer and smashed it. When the warhammer entered the light stream, Alan felt something was amiss. Paul's fist brought forth a stream of Origin Energy light that looked like an ordinary gathering attack, but this torrent was actually made up of more than a hundred tangled Origin Energy. This Origin Energy was both one and independent. Half of it was blocked by the Origin Energy poured into the warhammer, while the other half scattered and struck Allen like tiny flame whips.

The armor on Allen's clothes was immediately torn apart.

If Paul's Origin Energy could be refined into fine threads. With this strike, Alan could be cut into pieces. If he could even manipulate the tiny strands of Origin Energy in his hair, Alan would naturally be unable to defend against it. But now it was another matter. Paul's Origin Energy current was limited, and his Origin Energy was not strong enough. Alan contracted his Origin Energy to form a shield on his body. In this way, he was like a rock washed away by the river. The river was fast and hurried, but it could not break through the rocks.

Seeing this, Paul gritted his teeth and increased his Origin Energy output. Suddenly, a monster phantom appeared on Ellen's head, and a few strange eyes appeared around him. In those eyes, Paul saw his own figure, and at the same time, he felt an icy cold covering his head, as if he was being drenched in cold water from head to toe. When the strange force field was used on him, Paul was shocked to find that his Origin Energy was suddenly like a puddle of mud. He didn't listen to his orders and couldn't move.

Alan had used Sodom's projection of his ancestors to create this phenomenon. This incomplete Evil Eye Alifido was even slightly certain of an Awakened like Kamu. Paul hadn't advanced to the Awakened Realm, so he was inferior to Kamu. Not to mention his actions, even his Origin Energy was tightly bound.

Alan took the opportunity to shatter Paul's Origin Energy light stream and smash it towards his chest. Paul finally broke free from the Evil Eye and rushed to the front of the warhammer and blocked it with his arms.

With a dull explosion, Paul flew backwards. The Origin Energy in his body caused Alan's hammer to be thrown into a mess. Paul coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood before he felt his blood energy become more comfortable. Raising his head, Alan had already disappeared without a trace.

After knocking Paul down, Allen had no interest in continuing to attack him. This time, he had a bad start, breaking into the manor dungeon, but failed to save Leon. At this moment, the manor guards had already reacted, so they naturally couldn't stay for long. Allen could only choose to retreat. After letting go of a few guards, he was about to jump over the wall. He felt something in his heart and looked towards the south corner of the manor like lightning.

Beside a fountain, there was a man standing far away. He wore a long coat and put his hands behind his back. His face was similar to Leon's with a faint smile. He opened his mouth. The two of them were at least half a meter apart, but Alan could clearly hear his voice, "Give my regards to Lord Horn."

Alan, who had already climbed the high wall, almost fell.

He restrained his mind and took a deep look at the man before jumping down and running wildly into the night.

The man smiled and turned towards the main building.

In a living room on the third floor of the main building, the man turned around and saw a person standing by the window. "You have a good group of friends, Leon," he said with a faint smile.

The man turned around, it was Leon who should be in the dungeon. His handsome face was the same as it was two years ago, but his eyebrows had grown a little more mature. He shook his head and said, "A few idiots."

Even though he said that, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"That's no wonder. They probably don't know that you've already produced evidence that the card artisan wanted to kill you first. So the Clan Elders' Council is just putting on a show of face. It's only a formality to go back and interrogate you this time." The man smiled and said, "But this isn't even more rare. It's rare for your friends to risk their lives to save you."

'"What an irony. The clan is treacherous, the brothers can turn against them, and the closest relatives can be slaughtered. However, they are not as sincere as the friends around them. Leon, cherish them well. This is a huge fortune." The man turned around and left.

Leon bowed in the direction where the man disappeared and said, "I see, father."

After returning to Babylon, Allen and the others burned down the weapons and attire used in the operation last night. For the next few days they were uneasy, and both Alan and Adele kept news of the Williams very close. However, there had been no news of Leon, not even the attack on the manor that night. After a week, there was actually some calm.

On this day, Alan went to see Hughton and discussed the details of the magic power set with him. According to the current progress, it was impossible to announce two sets at the time of the press conference. What Hughton meant was to use all of his strength to produce the Blazing Battle Soldiers, as long as the Blazing Battle Soldiers were recognized by the masses. At that time, he could announce the Wind God Knight's idea. Since he could achieve the corresponding results, he didn't have to barely develop two sets of equipment at the same time. So as not to lose sight of one thing and lose sight of the other.

Allen agreed. After returning to the castle, he conveyed Hughton's intentions to Horn. Thus, the development of the Blazing Battle Soldiers was officially put on the agenda.

Returning to Winged Tower, Alan received a message from Adele. "Come to the Venus Hotel at night," the girl said in a televised message.

Alan frowned and said, "I don't feel that way now."

"There's news about Leon. Do you want to hear it?"

Alan was stunned and said, "Then just say it here."

"So long-winded. Anyway, if you don't come tonight, I'll send someone to tie you up!" With a grimace, Adele ended the communication.

Alan shook his head, not knowing what Adele was selling in her gourd.

In the evening, Alan arrived at the Venus Hotel. Thinking back to Christmas two years ago, the four of them had gathered here. Two years later, at the end of Leon's life and death, there was no news that Jin Lian City had gone to the surface. He and Adele were the only ones left in Babylon, and they couldn't help but sigh. He took a deep breath and went to the box that Adele had reserved.

He opened the door and entered. The room was dimly lit, but he could see a person standing with his back facing each other. Alan was suspicious when the lights suddenly lit up. Alan could clearly see the man in a white suit with his pale golden hair sticking behind his head. When he turned around and opened his arms, his face was filled with a familiar smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Leon?" Alan said in surprise.

A blur appeared in front of his eyes, and he had already hugged Leon. Leon patted him hard on the back and said, "There's no need to say anything, brother. Thank you for all you've done for me. In that case, you can still throw everything away to save me. To be honest, I was so moved that I almost cried, if it wasn't for my father."

Alan pushed him away and said, "Why are you alright?"

"It's a long story." Adele's voice came from behind. The girl held a bottle of champagne and said, "Why don't we celebrate and talk?"

The three wine glasses collided in midair, producing a crisp "ding" sound. Alan drank the champagne in his glass and said to Leon, "Hurry up and tell the truth. What exactly is going on?"

Leon shook his glass and looked at the champagne in it. "I knew they weren't going to get along with each other on this expedition with Paul. But I didn't expect the two of them to be so despicable. They actually tampered with intelligence and put me in a tight encirclement. I can barely return," he said leisurely.

He snorted and continued, "I broke out of the encirclement. I didn't dare to return to the base with serious injuries, so I could only find another place to recover from my injuries." Only after his injuries were almost healed would he return to the base. Paul and the others were both surprised to see me back, and I was even more certain that this was a single-handedly fooled game. They cleaned their hands and feet and destroyed the relevant information, but I made an extra backup at that time. It's my habit, so I have the first evidence they want against me. "

Later, Leon used his secret channels to send the information and his own experiences back to his father. After that, Paul and the others repeatedly went against Leon. After the subsequent evidence was sent back to Earth, Leon felt that the time was ripe. He broke off with Paul and his team and left the base to reopen the battlefield.

After more than a year of operation, Leon quickly opened up the situation and took control of three or five towns. At this time, the Paul brothers, under the banner of the family, were planning to annex Leon's territory, demanding that Leon hand over control of the territory. Leon naturally stopped avoiding it, so the war between the brothers began.

Leon smiled and said, "That's bad luck for a card artisan. He was tricked by me. He charged into a town controlled by the planet's natives. Although he was killed, he was seriously injured and was killed by me. I originally planned to disguise his death as a failure to break through the encirclement and fight to the death. But then I gave up on this idea."

Ellen frowned, "Even if it's to hurt your big brother Paul, isn't that too risky?"

Leon laughed and said, "Your brain is spinning fast, but I'm not just going to hit Paul."

Leon deliberately let Paul catch him. Paul was anxious for the family to punish Leon as he thought, so he reported the traces Leon had deliberately left as evidence. However, he didn't know that Leon had already grasped a large amount of evidence about him and the card artisan to prove that the two of them had a murderous intent. With this evidence, even if Leon killed the card artisan, it was still a legitimate response.

However, due to the family law set down by the ancestors of the clan, the Council of Elders had to arrange for Leon to be brought to trial. At that time, Leon's father would publish the evidence. In the end, Leon would be released as he is now. Paul, on the other hand, would be greatly shocked by the murder and framing of his own brother. At this time, Leon didn't even have to deal with him. As long as he continued forward, he would be able to leave Paul far behind.

This was a blow to Paul and part of what Alan had guessed.

"As for the other goal, it is to find the enemy ahead of time." Leon shook his glass.

"Enemy?"

"That's right, the enemies of the clan. However, they are in the shadows and can be recognized by this opportunity."
