159
The air in the surroundings was so tense that it was almost freezing.
As the head of the Carlton family in Imperial City, Gregory had a respected status and even a very close relationship with several of the highest-ranking wealthy family heads in Imperial City. His words always carried considerable weight, and no one dared to defy him.
Yet, the kid before him had killed his friend, Tyler, in front of him right after he spoke to make him stop. It was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
Rage swelled in him, and Gregory's expression turned cold.
He stared fixedly at Leonard, a strong aura exuding from him.
Some people didn't necessarily need to be able to perform martial arts. The prestige they had built from being in control of one's life and death for a long time could make people afraid to look directly into their eyes.
"Boy, I've warned you, but you didn't care at all. Are you looking down on the Carlton family?"
Gregory's voice was as loud as a bell, and his invisible momentum made many people present tremble with fear.
"The Carlton family? Who do you think you are?"
Leonard also sneered back at him.
"What did you say? Who do we, the Carlton family, think we are?"
Gregory laughed angrily and said, "The Carlton family is one of the top 20 families in Imperial City, and as the head of the Carlton family, I can decide the life and death of countless people with just one word. How dare you disparage the Carlton family?"
Leonard looked at Gregory indifferently and said, "So, the Carlton family is truly nothing."
When he uttered those words, many people around him had strange expressions on their faces.
Someone thought, "He actually belittled the Carlton family in Gregory's face. How bold of him!"
Another person thought, "It is clear that he is not afraid of the Carlton family at all.”
"You're courting death!" Gregory roared, and his eyebrows kept twitching in anger.
"Listen, boy. Now, I declare you as the enemy of the Carlton family, and the Carlton family will use everything in our power to get rid of you."
"Is that so? Then I'd better get rid of you first."
A murderous intent faintly appeared in Leonard's expression.
Truthfully, Leonard had prepared to kill Gregory ever since Gregory threatened him earlier.
Hearing Leonard's words, everyone around was shocked.
Someone from the wealthy family thought, "This kid named Leonard actually wants to kill Gregory!"
If Leonard didn't kill Gregory, there would be room to negotiate everything peacefully.
But if he were to kill Gregory, that would truly be a fight to the death.
Gregory snorted, "My life is tough. I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me that easily!"
Just as he finished speaking, a loud sound tore through the air from the distance.
Two figures were rushing over with a speed as fast as a cheetah.
The masters of martial arts from the Carlton family had arrived.
As many people watched the two figures sweep past at a high speed, they knew that Gregory, as sly as he was, had realized that the situation was not looking good for him. Thus, he secretly deployed his forces before he dealt with Leonard on the surface.
Only after he was sure his own men had arrived could he become so confident.
For wealthy families to gain a foothold in the world, aside from possessing abundant financial resources, they must have masters of martial arts as their bodyguards.
Otherwise, their family would have been wiped out long ago.
And the two people who just came were the bodyguards of the Carlton family.
Gregory had also called for other reinforcements in addition to those two bodyguards, but those two were the fastest to
come.

In Gregory's opinion, as long as those two could fend Leonard off for a moment, once all his reinforcements arrived, Leonard could no longer do anything to him. Those two rushed into the Morris Manor with bodies as swift as the wind, and they were running on the eaves as fast as galloping horses.
Many people present were astounded and thought, "That speed is simply appalling."
Yet at this moment, Leonard smiled disdainfully instead, "What a petty trick!"
With that said, he suddenly stepped on the ground, and a flagstone was immediately shaken off the ground. Subsequently, Leonard threw his punch.
The flagstone was instantly smashed into pieces, and those bits shot toward the two people rushing toward him.
There were swishing sounds as the flagstone pieces flew toward them.
Hearing those swishing sounds in the air, the two men who were running at full speed hurriedly went into a skid in an attempt to dodge.
However, their reactions were still too late. Their bodies were instantly pierced through and fell from the wall before finally making no more sound. It was an instant kill.
Everyone's blood suddenly ran cold, their hearts pounding.
Danny and the others on the side had their eyes widened in shock.
The bodyguards of the Carlton family were undeniably masters of martial arts, yet they had been instantly killed by Leonard before they could even get close. His method was too terrifying.
Gregory's expression also changed at this moment, and he stammered, "Several heads of highest-ranking wealthy families in Imperial City are all my friends. If you dare to touch me, they will not let you go..." However, Leonard remained unfazed as he reached out to strangle Gregory's neck.
It inevitably reminded Gregory of the scene where Tyler's neck was broken, and he was so frightened that he felt as if his soul almost left his body.
Finally, Danny beside Leonard couldn't help but say, "Leonard, that's enough. If you really kill Gregory, there will be no end to this."
But Leonard shook his head. "No one can stop me from killing him today."
As he spoke, he tightened his fingers to crush Gregory's throat.
Suddenly, several mu ffled sounds rang out as numerous bullets shot straight toward Leonard's body.
Leonard stepped back, and trails of smoke rose from where he was standing earlier.
At the same time, a middle-aged man with a square face showed up in the Morris Manor.
"I am the bodyguard of the Conway family in Imperial City, and I am here at Mr. Conway's command. Boy, let go of the person in your grasp."
The moment the words left his mouth, a crowd of martial artists emerged behind the middle-aged man, all of whom had reached the level of the Strength Realm.
The middle-aged man was a master of the Transformation Realm himself, and his bearing could be considered terrifying. "Is it the Conway family among the top ten wealthy families in Imperial City? It's a pity that whoever comes still can't save Gregory the old geezer."
As Leonard said that, he bent his fingers into claws and was about to clutch Gregory's head.
Seeing Leonard's movement, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly gleamed coldly.
Arlene and the others on the side also had horrified expressions on their faces.
If Gregory was killed, things would get out of hand.
Even if the Wilson family came to intervene, they still wouldn't be able to bring the situation under control.
Leonard was too impulsive, and he acted without considering the consequences.
Meanwhile, the heads of several wealthy families who came with Gregory couldn't help but retreat.
Initially, they thought their identities were an advantage for them to bring the situation under control. Yet, they didn't expect to face a madman, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
