Chapter 22 Please Save Him
“That the power of Zombric’s Cry. His palm strength is fierce and domineering!”
Leones hit his palm against Carlos‘ palm. He felt his insides turning upside down, and his breath could not be stable.
Clayton was one of Leones‘ masters. He had been a war god. Leones had learned the same fierce and domineering moves from Clayton. Otherwise, he could hardly endure Carlos‘ overwhelming palm force.
Even so, Leones had to attach the power of thunder to his palm. Then, he could only manage to draw with the opponent.
“There are a lot of masters in Vericano. I still need to work hard!”
When he was thinking, there were knocks on the door.
After sending Carlos away, Mia was worried and went upstairs to ask about Leones‘ condition. “Leones, are you okay? Are you injured?”
“No. I’m all right.”
“That’s good. Well. I won’t disturb you. Go to rest early.”
Mia stood outside the door and asked Leones. After knowing that he was fine, she was relièved and went downstairs.
Leones sighed softly. His breath was still fluctuating, so he couldn’t continue cultivating carefully He simply laid down on the floor. The ceiling above had been lifted off. He could see stars and a bright moon in the sky.
Under the bright moonlight, he laid on the floor and fell asleep without covering himself with a quilt.

Nothing else happened in the night.
Early the next morning, Leones was awakened by the noise of carrying things downstairs. He got up and looked out the window.
It turned out that the Peterson family sent some people to move back the things that had been removed from the villa.
Some maintenance workers were repairing the water and electricity facilities in the villa. “Listen, you must work more carefully than doing the work in the Peterson family. Do you understand?”
Archie personally came to supervise those workers.
He was monitoring floor by floor. When he reached the third floor, he was stunned.
“What the hell?! Who removed the roof in this room?”
“Who’s so ruthless that they even removed the roof? Are they going to destroy the villa?!”
Archie hurriedly explained when he saw Leones, “Master, it has nothing to do with the Peterson family. I swear we didn’t do it. All the things we had moved out before were all brought back today.”
“I know it’s not you,” Leones said lightly, “I did it.”
“Oh…” Archie was speechless for a while.

But he was still a little confused, thinking about how Leones did it. “Could it be that it was caused by a bomb last night?”
“It’s a bit troublesome to repair the roof…”
Archie thought he had to hire a construction team to repair the roof.
“No need.” Leones refused. “You don’t need to repair this room. Just repair the other places in the
villa.”
Leones thought living in the open–air room was also quite good.
He went to the dining room downstairs to have breakfast. Before he finished eating breakfast, two regular visitors came again. “Hero, you really live here! I thought you were joking yesterday!”
Darius brought Gloria and came to the Cloud Nine.
“Mr. Bloom…” Gloria was a little embarrassed when she saw Leones.
Her grandfather had turned against Leones last night. But today, she had to beg him for her grandfather.
“Well, take a seat.”
Leones saw Gloria’s worried face and knew she was here for her grandfather’s affairs.
“Mr. Bloom, I have already made arrangements for Ms. Bones‘ work.”
As soon as Gloria sat down, she told Leones about this matter.
“Hmm…” Leones nodded. “Come straight to the point.”
“Hero, Gloria is here to ask you something,” Darius said.
Gloria told Leones the whole story of the sudden coma of her grandfather last night.
“Mr. Bloom, you said my grandfather was dying when you saw him yesterday. What exactly do you mean?”
Gloria thought Leones had no grievances with her grandfather. There was no need to curse. So she believed that there were reasons.
“It’s literally,” Leones said while eating, “He won’t live long. Three days at most.”
Darius and Gloria were shocked when they heard this, especially Gloria. She couldn’t accept the fact that her grandfather was dying.
“Why?” She couldn’t help but ask, “My grandfather was healthy. Why is he… dying?”
“I already told you the reason yesterday.” Leones shook his head slightly helplessly. Yesterday, no one believed what he said.
“The reason… What is it?” Gloria tried her best to recall but couldn’t remember what important
clues Leones mentioned.
“Hero, please tell us straightly!” Darius hurriedly asked, “What’s the reason?”
Leones said helplessly, “That wooden carving.”
What?
As soon as these words came out, Darius and Gloria were shocked. They suddenly remembered that in the car, Leones had indeed mentioned something wrong with the wooden carving. Unfortunately, Leones only mentioned it. They thought it was a joke and didn’t take it seriously.

“How could it be?” Gloria broke out in cold sweat. “It turned out to be that wooden carving… that made my grandfather…”
She bought that wooden carving and sent it to her grandfather as a birthday gift. However, the culprit caused her grandfather’s severe condition.
If this was the case, she would never forgive herself.
“Mr. Baker is getting old and not in good health. The wooden carving brought the poison into his body. So he fell seriously sick all of a sudden.”
Leones briefly explained.
“Do you remember last night? Your grandfather had a flushing complexion. That was not a good sign but more like the last radiance of his death!”
“That was why I asserted that your grandfather is about to die!”
The more Gloria heard, the more frightened she was. She caused her grandfather to miss a good chance to be treated last night.
“Hero, why didn’t you tell us clearly about such an important matter?” Darius sighed.
“I’ve told you since the first time we met,” Leones snorted, “But have any of you ever believed it?”
Doctors would not come to find patients.
Leones had kindly mentioned it twice, but no one believed it.
“Mr. Bloom, you know so much.” Gloria suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Leones‘ hand and said, “Can you save my grandfather?”
“He’s… dying…”
Gloria said the heartbreaking word and shed tears again.
“Of course!”
Patten was a well–known doctor. He was one of Leones‘ masters.
Therefore, he learned superb medical skills from Patten.
Although Orlando’s condition was severe, it was not difficult for Leones to save him.
“Really!?” Gloria heard this and immediately regained her voice. She held Leones‘ hand even tighter. “Please, save my grandfather. If you can save him, I will do anything for you.”
Her hands were tender and delicate, but Leones remained calm and withdrew his hand from hers.
“Of course, I can save him.”
“But there is a rule in my sect. My master told me to follow that rule rigorously. If I want to save one person, I must kill another.”
