Chapter 2737
"You'll find out if I dare to do so soon enough! Old man, I've already given you a chance. Since you won't take it, don't blame me
for what I'm about to do!" Leon scoffed.
Without hesitation, he stomped on Bucky's knees.
Snap!
Following a crisp sound, the bones on Bucky's knees were instantly shattered.
Bucky screamed and saw stars from the pain, coming close to fainting.
"Hugh, have you gone mad?" Renee was utterly shocked and gaped at him in disbelief.
Though Hugh was only in the Advanced Emperor state, making him far weaker than Gaston, at least he had Bucky as his
hostage.
It was the best strategy to negotiate with Gaston using Bucky as the bargaining chip. That way, Hugh may be able to escape
unscathed.
However, not only did Hugh not do so, but he also repeatedly challenged Gaston and even broke Bucky's leg in front of Gaston.
This seemed reckless and she was taken aback by Leon's actions.
"You!" Renee was not the only one who was shocked; So were Gaston and Aurelia.
None of them expected Leon to harm Bucky and they were all caught by surprise.
"How dare you hurt my son? I'm going to kill you!" Gaston snapped out of it and glared daggers at Leon.
Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he charged at Leon, wielding powerful true energy in his hands.
He was ready to tear Leon into pieces to vent his anger.
"Mister Grimston, wait!" Renee was terrified.
Without hesitation, she stood before Hugh in an attempt to protect Hugh or negotiate with Gaston to get Hugh an opportunity to
escape.
This was the only thing she could do for Hugh at the moment.
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill you too!" The fact that Leon harmed Bucky completely enraged Gaston.
Overwhelmed by rage, he had no regard for Renee's status and sent a powerful wave of energy toward her.
"It's over," Renee's heart sank.
Though she managed to reach the Initial Emperor State with Hugh's help, she was still no match for Gaston, who was in the
Semi-Almighty state.
In the face of such a powerful attack, she had no means to protect herself or dodge, so she could simply watch as the attack
approached.
If she was not mistaken, she would at least be severely injured once she took the blow.
Devastated, she did not know what to do.
"Miss Morrison, step aside. I'll deal with this old man!" Leon reacted swiftly and grabbed her on the shoulder, before pulling her
behind him.
Extending his finger, he launched the Earthly Plunder.
His energy transformed into a blade that extended out of his finger and he wielded it against Gaston's attack.
