Chapter 1476
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
âNo, Mister Wolf claimed that he can cure your Third Degree Block, and so I brought him over to take a look at you,â Yuri explained to his sister. Although he was not too confident in Leonâs capabilities, he knew that Leon was rightâconsidering Roanne was sick for so long now, there was no harm in letting him try.
âCan he cure me? This is splendid news!â Roanne was delighted to hear this. A glimmer of excitement flashed through her twinkling eyes but soon dissipated.
After all, she was sick for over two decades now and visited plenty of famous and seasoned doctors for her illness. Every time she got her hopes up, she ended up disappointing herself.
Because of this, she turned numb to this and thus did not have much expectations for Leon at all!
âDonât worry, Miss Thompson. Iâll do my best!â Leon smiled. He could understand Roanneâs feelings and thus did not try further to change her mind.
âOkay, thank you,â Roanne smiled back at him. Perhaps it was because Leon was her age, or perhaps Leon possessed a more laidback aura, but she could not help feeling relaxed in his presence, as compared to those elderly doctors she was previously.
âMiss Thompson, please give me your hand. Iâd like to check your pulse first.â Leon smiled as he sat down across from Roanne. Then, he placed his fingers across Roanneâs pulse and began examining it.
After a long time, Leon furrowed his brows as a solemn expression crossed his face.
âWhatâs going on with my sister, Mister Wolf?â Yuri could not help asking when he noticed the strange look on Leonâs face.
âMister Thompson, if my guesses are correct, Miss Thompson here used to practice martial arts, didnât she? âLeon asked, ignoring his question. He thought that Roanne was just a simple case of Third Degree Block, but after some examining, he discovered that her condition was far more complex than that!
âYes, my sister used to practice an ancient art passed down in my family before she was ten, but one day, she suffered an attack and was diagnosed to have Third Degree Block. Ever since then, she has gotten weaker as the days passed, and hence did not continue her training anymore,â Yuri answered truthfully.
âOh, if so, which power level did she attain before stopping? Was she very fast at advancing her power level?
âLeon asked.
âYes, she was superb at all, and she, at one point, advanced even quicker than me! If it werenât for the fact that she fell ill, Iâm sure she would be even more powerful than me now!â Yuri replied wistfully. He was one of the Thirteen Greats according to the Sky County Elite List and was one of the most talented martial artists in the Southern region.
Despite this, he was still no match for Roanne at all, so one could only imagine how powerful Roanne could be if she did not fall sick!
âI guessed so,â Leon murmured to himself as a conclusion began to take place in his mind.
âWhatâs going on with my sister, Mister Wolf?â yuri asked in concern.
âTruth be told, Miss Thompsonâs condition isnât a simple case of Third Degree Block. She also has an underlying condition known as the Darkness Complex,â Leon explained solemnly.
