Chapter 233: Temptation
Seeing that Leon was still alive, Chris was shocked for about 0.5 seconds, and then calmed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, slowly descending from the air
"Look at what you said, Leon, the two of us are brothers, I can really hurt you, forget it, since you think so, even if you win this duel, okay?"
Looking at the fragments on the ground, Chris felt distressed in his heart, but he didn't write his distress on his face, too little five emperor swords couldn't help Leon, he had no other means, and if he persevered, all he would get was embarrassment, so he walked in front of Leon quite "kindly".
"Let's hug each other, can this end of this competition?"
Embrace?
Looking at this cheeky Chris who is thicker than the city wall, Leon feels that his moral sense has been greatly impacted, should he be said to be worthy of being a businessman? Nothing is anything in the face of interests.
It's just that this kind of trick is not very effective for Leon, "be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future" This kind of thing has nothing to do with Leon's half a dime, Leon can't wait to see Chris again, so he didn't be polite to him, and walked forward coldly, and the moving qi didn't know when it had covered Leon's body
"Bang!"
Seeing Leon getting closer to him like this, Chris also felt a different atmosphere, it seemed that he was not slowed down by his own delaying tactics, at this time, Chris realized that Leon had never been a businessman, and this kind of thing had nothing to do with Leon forever.
Thinking of this, his pupils shrank, and he was about to retreat and escape, but it was too late.
Leon's fist was very crisp and accurate, and he hit Chris's dantian with one punch, and the powerful punch gushed out, easily destroying the meridians around Chris's body.
"You !!"
Chris looked at Leon in surprise, he thought of a lot of Leon's ways to deal with himself, but he didn't expect Leon to do things so desperately.
"I heard that the center of cultivation in the East is the dantian, as long as the dantian is destroyed, the true qi will collapse."
"Go as a merchant, this world is not yours."
After speaking, Leon took the suit and shirt from Robert, put them on his shoulders and left.
"Leon!"
Albert Kennedy shouted to Leon, but Leon didn't look back, his pace didn't pause, Soji Kusanagi and the others also left, and the people around him gradually dispersed.
Soon only Chris and Albert were left in the huge place
"How dare he, how dare he...
Chris still can't believe that his dantian has been abolished, it is true that he has many ways to recover the damage on his meridians, but injuries are always injuries, and he will not be able to change back to his original state just because he recovers, the meridians are damaged, the dantian is broken, and his cultivation talent will be completely scrapped.
The martial arts world only has hard work and no effort, or unstoppable things like bloodline talent, but the cultivation world is very different, many things pay attention to a spiritual root, to put it simply, Leon's punch just now has completely blocked Chris's cultivation path.
Seeing his eldest son, who is most like him, become what he is now, Albert is angry and a little helpless.
Maybe I'm really not fit to be a father. γ
Once the Kennedy family was only a second-rate family, Albert single-handedly turned the tide and elevated the Kennedy family to the top of the world, and he was undoubtedly very successful in business, and he never even had the experience of failure. But in the position of father, he is a very unqualified role.
In the past, the consortium was on the cusp of the storm, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything, so he gave up all opportunities to accompany his children and let the two children study on their own.
When he had time to spend with his children, he found that his eldest son had become the same as himself, cold, cruel, and despicable, but he was indeed very strong, to be honest, when he saw this situation for the first time, Albert was quite happy, so that the family was relieved enough to hand over to the eldest son.
However, the second son is a little unsatisfactory, he doesn't learn and has no skills, he knows all day long that he runs out to play with those poor people, and he doesn't read a few books, but he is very good at playing with mud, and he has not inherited his "advantages" at all, but it doesn't matter, the Kennedy family's money is enough for the second son to do nothing, and he enjoys living for hundreds of years every day, so he also ignores this unhappiness.
Later, he let his eldest son get in touch with some simple company affairs, and his eldest son Chris did not disappoint himself and handled everything very well as a reward~ He handed over the Sword Immortal Spectrum to him, which was also the decision he regretted the most in his life.
After trying the taste of benefits, Chris quickly became addicted to it, some things are more and more is not enough, at this time, Chris found that Leon is a very obstructive existence, especially when he also taught himself with that naΓ―ve appearance!
It was also because of this that Chris had murderous intentions towards Leon for the first time, but fortunately, Albert was already relatively idle at that time, so Leon did not die at Chris's hands, and this happened several times later.
Although Albert didn't like his second son very much, he couldn't just watch him die, and the tragedy of fratricide could not happen a second time in this family, so he spent seven million dollars to send Leon to the Extreme Runner Gym.
Now Albert reminisced about the past, and it seemed that he had never given Leon a little care, and that the last concern drove him out of the house.
Now, who is to blame for fratricidalism?
"Chris, you go home, the consortium needs you."
Albert put his hand on Chris's shoulder, trying to make his tone look like a loving father.
"How dare he, how dare he...
Chris still hasn't recovered from the blow of the destruction of his dantian, which not only weakened his strength, but also hit his self-confidence hard, and also made him meet someone who can ignore his tricks for the first time.
"Chris!"
Seeing him so decrepit, Albert suddenly shouted angrily
"Does it make sense for you to be so decadent? Think back to the opponents you crushed in the business field, are you like them now, huh? β
Hearing Albert's angry voice, Chris finally focused his gaze on his face
"So what? I know you've always loved Lyon, and I'm just a pawn to help you play the financial syndicate! I've been working so hard, what is it for? β
"What about Leon? What is Lyon? He knows how to play every day, he doesn't care if you're tired or not, he doesn't care about our family at all, you still protect him, does he have half a point to regard himself as a member of this family? β
As he spoke, Chris began to laugh, as if he was laughing at the wonder of his fate
"Leon is obviously so stupid~ Don't say it, I'm going back to manage the company, there are still a lot of things to deal with, you are not here, and without me in charge, the company will have to be chaotic."
With that, Chris stood up and left with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened before.
Seeing him like this, Albert felt his heart twitching, but he wanted to persuade but had nothing to say, the two sons had already gone their own way, and he had long been unable to interfere with them.
γγγ
"Are you willing to fail like this?"
Just as Chris's mind was in chaos and he was about to return to the airport, a cold and domineering voice reached his ears, and he turned his face to look
"The Bernstein patriarch?"
"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, and I'll talk about business in two days."
The figure came out of the darkness, not Lukar Bernstein or anyone else
"It's funny, you were beaten by someone, did you just swallow your anger? I thought that the future patriarch of the Kennedy family would be a little bold, but I didn't expect it to be a soft egg. β
Hearing this, Chris immediately exploded, and the whole person stood upright
"Patriarch Bernstein, please organize the wording, otherwise all the industries of your family will face collapse with a wave of my hand!"
"Hmph~"
Lucar sneered, his eyes full of disdain
"Now I can pinch you to death with just one hand, no one knows yet, believe it or not?"
Hearing this, Chris was silent, he knew that the patriarch of the Bernstein family was a martial arts master, if there was no reduction in his strength before, he still had the confidence to be able to escape, and now his dantian has been shattered, and it is not much more difficult for a fighting master to kill himself than to kill an ant.
Thinking of this, he hated Leon even more, if he hadn't destroyed his dantian meridians, how could he be so passive.
"If you have anything, just tell me!"
Seeing Chris's tone soften, Lucar's face smiled again, but this smile and his blood-red eyes looked extremely weird, and people couldn't bring up the slightest warmth
"Don't you want to know how you lost?"
Hearing this, Chris suddenly cheered up, he also felt very strange about this kind of thing, he could feel that his sword passed through the stone that sealed Leon every time, how could Leon not die in this way?
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't sell it!"
Lucar burst out laughing
"Are you so anxious?"
"Then I'll say it~ The reason why you lost is because you underestimate Leon too much, and everything you know about him comes from other people's words!"
"Did you know that he has been missing for almost two years since his last KOF tournament?"
Hearing this, Chris's pupils contracted suddenly. He hadn't paid attention to Leon all along, until this time, he knew that his father was going to be absent from work and came to South Town to look for Leon, and now he heard Lucar say, didn't Leon practice in the Extreme Stream Pavilion in the past two years?
"Looks like you don't know."
Looking at his surprised appearance, the corners of Lucar's mouth hooked up coldly
"So it's no surprise that you've failed."
"Humph! Are you wasting all my time just to taunt me? Hurry up and get down to business, I don't have time to play dumb riddles with you! β
Chris's years of experience have shown that at any time, the rhythm of speech cannot be controlled by the other party, otherwise he can only be led by the nose by the other party, so he forced his chaotic brain to say such a sentence that fits his identity.
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, am I wrong? You don't even know how you lost, are you still afraid of being ridiculed by others? β
Chris was about to speak, but Lucar interrupted him again
"Do you know what strength Leon has gained in the past two years?"
"What power?"
"Have you heard of the Heavenly Gods?"
The Heavenly Protoss is also the Great Snake Clan, this race Chris naturally knows that no matter how confident he is, he doesn't think he can fight against the gods, and judging from the information he has contacted, the Heavenly Protoss is only afraid that it is really a group of divine envoys, and the big snake behind them is likely to be a real god.
"Could it be that Leon's bastard got the power of the Heavenly Protoss?"
In this way, everything makes sense, in just two years, how did Leon's strength improve so quickly, and he was actually able to dodge his Taiwei Five Emperor Sword Formation, if it wasn't for the power of the Protoss, what other possibilities would there be?
"That's right, in just these two years, Leon has obtained the blood of one of the Eight Masters of the Heavenly Protoss, so he is now half a member of the Heavenly Protoss!"
"And the power he gained is Tempest! He was able to survive such a dense attack of yours unscathed, presumably because he turned himself into a gale. β
βγγγβ
Sure enough, it was in line with his guess, but Chris was not happy at all, but had some loss, Leon had become so strong unconsciously, and he had become a waste again, so what qualifications did he have to get rid of Leon?
"Look like you've accepted your fate?"
Lucar's words are indeed very heartfelt, but Chris has no so-called persistence, he is no longer qualified to persevere.
"It's a waste of time that I've come to you in vain, alas! It's a pity that the blood of the Heavenly Kingdom Protoss is gone, and no one wants to accept it~"
Hearing Lucar's "unintentional" words, Chris's eyes instantly flashed with lightning-like brilliance
"What do you say? The blood of the Heavenly Protoss? β
"You have this blood? Will it be able to heal injuries on the meridians? β
Seeing the big fish take the bait, the corners of Lucar's mouth were raised high, and his red eyes were full of temptation
"Of course, Leon was bruised by the storm at the beginning, and there was no good place in his body, didn't he recover as well? And it's recovering so well! β
Hearing this, Chris fell decisively, he didn't know that this was Lucar's plan, but in the face of such a big temptation, he was moved, he was really moved, not only to be able to recover his strength, but more importantly, the blood of the Heavenly Protoss is the blood of the Protoss, and when the time comes, he will definitely not only be able to recover his injuries, but also make his strength even better, at that time, what is Leon worth?
"I accepted this deal, and I don't think you will give me these benefits in vain, although the lion opens his mouth! There's not much I want to get but can't get in this world. β
