Chapter 44 Kenton Warlord
Edward’s expression displayed shock.
The family outcast he had just looked down upon was a top–tier powerhouse. Was he someone even John, couldn’t match?
How could this be possible?
The disparity in their positions was too immense for Edward to believe.
“Could it really be the same person?” Edward consoled himself. “It must be a coincidence…”
At the same time, Orlando was also still determining.
He only knew of Leones‘ unmatched medical skills but had never heard about his combat abilities.
Furthermore, his opponent was John, a peak powerhouse beneath the rank of war god. Orlando hurriedly retrieved his phone and found a picture of Leones. He asked John to confirm. “That’s right. It’s this young man!” John exclaimed, “Truly remarkable, a rising star!”
Mr. Baker was surprised when he received confirmation. He hadn’t expected to underestimate Leones. He was a gifted young talent, proficient in medicine and martial prowess.
Edward still found it hard to believe and inquired, “Mr. Smith, take another careful look and make sure it’s him.”
John chuckled. “I’m not senile. I fought with him, so how could I mistake his identity?”
“Hahaha…” Orlando finally laughed aloud. He patted Edward’s shoulder. “Edward, what do you think? Although I’m getting older, my judgment of people remains sound. Leones is far from ordinary!”
“Expelling him from the Bloom family turned out to be a massive loss for the Bloom family!” Edward chuckled awkwardly. He was surprised that the person he had just dismissed was so powerful.
John similarly agreed with Orlando’s assessment.
“Absolutely. Leones has tremendous potential for the future considering his age and strength.” Orlando grew curious again. He asked, “John, in your opinion, who might have been Leones‘ mentor to make him so formidable?”
John’s tone grew serious. “After being defeated, I was shocked and didn’t think much of it.”
“As I was reminiscing about the battle on my way back, I couldn’t help but notice the young man’s fierce and domineering techniques, which embodied the essence of military boxing styles. It reminded me of someone!”
“Who was it?” Orlando and Edward asked in unison.
John paused briefly before revealing the person’s name. His expression turned serious. “It was Kenton Warlord!”
“What?”
“Kenton Warlord?”
Orlando and Edward’s expressions became even more astonished at the reply.
If this statement came from anyone else, it might be taken as a joke, and no one would believe it.

However, John stood among the elite below the rank of war god. He had encountered and exchanged insights with war gods from various regions. His words held tremendous credibility.
“I had the privilege of sparring with the Kenton Warlord at a major military gathering.” John reminisced with fondness and excitement. “Yes. There’s no mistake! I felt a nearly identical overwhelming sensation!”
“Kenton Warlord…” Orlando murmured, feeling nostalgic. “Such a shame… A legendary war god, long since fallen…”
Edward exclaimed again, “John, are you suggesting that Leones is the successor of Kenton Warlord?”
“Very likely!” John replied, “And if he’s willing to join the military, it’s not far–fetched for him to aim for the rank of a war god in the future with his current strength.”
Excitement flickered in John’s eyes as if he witnessed the rise of a future war god star.
Edward immediately stood up and addressed Orlando “Mr. Baker, let me handle the task Leones entrusted you. Just wait for tomorrow’s headlines!”
Edward promptly excused himself and left. He headed back to the Ministry of Finance to prepare for his tasks.
Edward previously refused to assist Leones to avoid offending the Bloom family, but now he saw it as an honor. After all, this person might very well be a future war god. What significance did the mere Bloom family hold?
“Hmm…” Orlando nodded in agreement silently.
Leones had become even more significant in the eyes of the Baker family after today’s events.
Moreover, Orlando had his request to craft life–extending elixirs for him within the next month.
Meanwhile, Ted from the Olsen family was in a high–end restaurant celebrating with friends. simultaneously. He was waiting for his hired men to bring some good news.
Suddenly, a loud bang occurred!
The door of the private room was kicked open.
Alex led a group and stormed in.
“Hmm?” Ted was surprised. He then recognized that these were the thugs he had paid handsomely. Though shocked and angry, he suppressed his rage and asked, “How did things go with the person you were supposed to deal with? Did you bring the person here, or did you toss them into the river?”
Alex let out a cold sneer.
The deal had almost cost him his life and left his hand crippled.
Alex’s suppressed anger now surged forth.
“Get him!” Alex waved his hand and commanded his men. They immediately surged forward. “What are you doing?” Ted was horrified. “Help! Where are the bodyguards?”
But no matter how loudly Ted shouted, the bodyguards outside had already been subdued. There was no one to come to his aid.
“Are
you all crazy?” Ted exclaimed in shock and anger, “You dare to lay a finger on me? I’m from the Olsen family! Have you thought about the consequences, you petty thugs?”
Alex’s voice turned icy, “By order of the Dragon King, I’m here to give you a taste of trouble!”

“Start by breaking his limbs and then throw him into the moat! Assign someone to watch over him, and no one is allowed to interfere!”
Ted let out a wailing cry as he was dragged out of the private room.
He was dragged all the way to the moat before being subjected to an extreme punishment.
He never dreamt that his attempt to outsmart others had backfired, and the enforcers he sent incapacitated him.
On the other side, Ashley could not reach her older brother for half a day.
She initially intended to inquire whether they had caught Leones, that bastard.
However, her older brother lost contact instead in the afternoon.
“What on earth is happening?”
Ashley’s right eyelid twitched incessantly. She felt uneasy suddenly.
“Honey, I’m worried that something has happened to my older brother. Can you please…” Ashley hurriedly rushed into the study and sought help from her husband, Jason Young.
Jason was rummaging through documents, visibly distressed. He paid no attention to his wife’s words.
“What’s wrong?” Ashley repeated.
“Our company is in serious trouble!” Jason replied as he fed some materials into the shredder to destroy them. “My dad just called and said that people from the Ministry of Finance stormed into our company. They’re here to audit our accounts.”
“They claim that we’ve been reported for tax evasion. The company is now in complete chaos!” What?
Ashley was taken aback.
Given the sheer magnitude of the Bloom family’s business empire, expecting an utterly unblemished track record would be unrealistic.
As soon as an investigation began, a string of problems would arise.
“I need to return to the company and cooperate with the investigation…” Jason immediately headed out after destroying the crucial documents at hand.
Ashley watched her husband leave in a daze. Her mind was in turmoil.
First, her older brother was out of contact for half a day, and now her in–laws were being investigated.
Ashley felt like the sky was about to collapse on her head in just one day.
However, little did she know that this was just the beginning!
