Chapter 84: Chapter84-Royal Treasure
?
Amid the turmoil in the imperial capital, Annie, Andre, and other prodigies from various major forces were all looking towards the direction of South Street.
They had all seen Owen''s slaying of the Fallen Angel through Carlos'' special magic.
"This Owen is truly ferocious. It feels like the Domination Leaderboard we just created for him isn''t enough to highlight his monstrous abilities. Compared to him, we feel like we''re from a different era."
"If he can kill a terrifying creature like the Fallen Angel, is there anything he can''t do? Miraculous feats seem to be just ordinary for him."
"Comparing ourselves to him is infuriating. With Owen around, from now on, we can only compete for second place."
Edward and others shook their heads and sighed, feeling utterly hopeless about surpassing Owen.
Previously, even though Academy City had placed Owen alone on the Domination Leaderboard, they had been somewhat unconvinced despite their defeats by Owen.
Being in their youthful prime, they had never faced such a significant setback and couldn''t accept the special treatment given to him by Academy City.
But now, after witnessing Owen annihilate the terrifying Fallen Angel, capable of destroying the imperial capital, their pride was utterly extinguished by Owen!
Owen''s image was deeply imprinted in their hearts, and they completely gave up any thoughts of challenging him!
Even Monroe, the saint of the Sun-Moon Sect from the Mountain Forces, felt unprecedented despair.
Owen''s existence made her feel that no matter what means she used, she had no chance of victory and was completely crushed by him!
While many prodigies were feeling dejected and shaken, news about Leslie mutilating the two elders of the Council of Elders and rebelling quickly spread to them through various channels.?iscover new chapters at novelhall.com
"What the heck! Is this news for real? It''s explosive!"
"Leslie was really hiding her strength. To have such terrifying power and influence is scary. I''m glad I never offended her before."
"Those two elders were top platinum-tier powerhouses. How could this happen to them?" "Leslie is only a year or two older than us, yet her strength is vastly superior!"
"I originally thought Owen was the only genius who could crush us, but I didn''t expect there to be another hidden gem like Leslie!"
"Damn it, this world really doesn''t lack geniuses. Compared to them, we''re just part of the masses..."
Upon confirming the news about Leslie, Edward and the other prodigies, already disheartened by Owen, felt an even greater weight on their chests.
Monroe squinted her eyes and said seriously, "There''s a saying that where there is a Crouching Dragon, there will be a Young Phoenix. Owen is clearly the Crouching Dragon stirring up the world, and Leslie must be the Young Phoenix, no less powerful than him!"
"If we can defeat Leslie, we might be able to defeat Owen. These two are geniuses beyond our era!"
The other prodigies were deeply moved, seeing that even Monroe, the saint of the Sun-Moon Sect from the Mountain Forces, had such respect and fear for Leslie.
...
Time flew by, the sun set, and the moon rose.
The imperial capital gradually became shrouded in night.
Have a child?
This abrupt topic change left Leslie momentarily stunned...
Even someone as cold as Leslie couldn''t help but blush.
"You must hold on to that young man tightly, don''t let other girls steal him away. As far as I know, there are enough girls on the continent who admire Owen to circle the capital three
times."
Leslie, extremely proud, turned her head away with a light snort.
She didn''t refute anything, because even she had to admit, Owen indeed had an indescribable
charm.
But she wouldn''t be like ordinary girls and become infatuated.
However, she could admit that he had a unique allure.
Owen and she seemed to have an innate understanding of each other.
With just a glance, they could understand what the other was thinking, whether it was about
causing turmoil in the world or overthrowing the royal power!
She truly enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being evenly matched and having mutual
understanding with Owen.
Her mind unconsciously replayed the scene of their first meeting.
When she thought of the moment they outwitted each other and then reached an agreement
with a handshake, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
After saying this, she suddenly came back to her senses and realized that Duke Charles had
already left.
"Was I daydreaming because of that guy?"
Leslie was somewhat surprised by her inexplicable actions just now.
She shook her head, deciding not to think too much about it.
Her beautiful eyes involuntarily looked towards the direction of Thousand Peaks, and she
murmured softly,
"I wonder how that guy is doing. Hope everything goes smoothly!"
