Chapter 1289

“What? Are you going to continue lying about this?” Patrick’s expression turned even darker at this. He had had no qualms about Leon at first, considering he was Iris‘ boyfriend after all, but now, the fact that Leon had boasted about something that was not true turned his first impression of Leon sour!

Damian was thinking the same. His first impression of Leon had been a great one when he witnessed Leon protecting Iris, but now, he was disgusted by the fact that Leon had lied about his power level. Not only that, but he did not even have the guts to admit his wrongdoing and instead tried to lie to get his way out of it!

How shameless!

Damian’s liking of Leon dissipated at this realization.

“Grandpa, Leon isn’t lying. He’s telling the truth. He’s a very powerful martial artist, to the extent that he’s defeated warriors at the Overlord State and even the Emperor State,” Iris said.

“What? He’s defeated Emperors before? How…how is this possible?” Patrick and Damian could not believe their ears. However, on second thought, the fact that Leon had the audacity to boast in front of them surely meant he could do the same to Iris.

Surely Leon had tricked Iris into believing he possessed powers that not even she could imagine.

Otherwise, there was no other way he could have won Iris‘ heart, with his mediocre power level and average looks.

“Iris, did this man trick you?” Patrick asked, casting Leon a steely look. Iris was his granddaughter, and if she really was tricked, he would make Leon pay for this.

“He didn’t! grandpa, what I’m saying is true. I’ve witnessed all this with my own eyes, and he’s far more powerful than you think,” Iris said in determination.

“Is that so? Well, since Iris says you’re so good, why don’t you show me your true energy? I’m curious as to how a youngster like you managed to defeat an Emperor!” Patrick said, sneering.

He would not believe anything until he saw it with his own two eyes. Even in Sky County, an Emperor was not an easy opponent to defeat, and all of them belonged to the most powerful families in Sky County. Thus, he would never believe that Leon, a man in his early twenties, could easily defeat someone at the Emperor State!

Leon was rendered speechless at this. The truth was, he had managed to defeat the Emperor not by his level, but by using the three Potential Energy Forces his master had given him. Now, he only had two remaining, and these were his most powerful weapons, so how could he waste one just to display his true power to Patrick? This was unrealistic!

“Leon, since my Grandpa and Uncle Damian don’t believe you, why don’t you show them yourself?” Iris said. She did not know that Leon was limited by the amount of Potential Energy Forces he had and truly believed he had defeated the Emperor of his own accord.

Considering that her grandfather and uncle were dubious of Leon now, she wanted him to show them the true extent of his power so that they would not look down on him. She did not wish for her family to look down on the man she loved!
