Chapter 700 Leander’s True Strength

“Leander?”

Billy tilted his head slightly. A tall figure stood beside him. It was Leander.

He froze in surprise. He knew exactly how capable Jace was. Jace had gone through strict combat training since he was young. It built his strength and made him stand out among people his age.

Jace was physically strong. His reactions were fast, and his power was top–tier. Even though Billy had trained in martial arts for years, he still could not beat him.

But Leander, who looked calm and bookish, had blocked Jace’s powerful downward kick with one move. Not only that, but he had also sent Jace flying. Billy could hardly believe what he had just seen.

Ever since he met Leander, the guy had always been calm and polite. Billy had never seen him fight before. He definitely did not expect him to drop someone like Jace in a single move.

Leander lowered his leg and let out a quiet sigh.

He had come to Highcrest to relax and clear his mind. He wanted to live simply and experience an ordinary life. Before reaching his next breakthrough, he did not want to deal with trouble or conflicts. But things did not go the way he wanted. Today, he had no choice but to step in and protect Billy.

Ava and Rachel both looked shocked. They never thought Leander would step in.

Earlier in the private room, Leander had stayed quiet the whole time. They thought he was weak and spineless. But now, when things turned bad, he was the one who stepped up and saved Billy. Their view of him changed right away.

“Are you okay?”

Leander helped Billy to his feet. Billy shook his head, but he was still stunned.

“D*mn it!”

Jace had been kicked several feet away. Even with his strong build, his head spun for a while. It took him some time to get back up and look for the one who knocked him down.

When he saw Leander, his expression tightened with anger.

He was the second young master of the Dufay family. In all of Highcrest, very few people dared to cross him. Yet now, some nobody in cheap clothes had just kicked him flying.

“Kid, did you just sneak attack me?”

His eyes narrowed, and his face turned cold.

He had been trained in combat since he was a kid. He could hold his own against most pro fighters. Getting sent flying by a single kick made him feel completely humiliated.

Chapter 700 Leander’s True Strength

When he noticed the looks from the people watching, it only made things worse.

He had no idea that Leander had barely used any strength. It was not even close to a fraction of his real power. If he had gone all out, Jace would not have survived that kick.

“Can we just end this here?”

Leander did not answer him directly. He spoke in a calm tone.

Before, if someone like Jace caused trouble, he would either ignore it or deal with it right away. But now, he just wanted a normal life. He did not want to get tied up with Jace or the Dufay family.

“Just end it here?”

Jace let out a cold laugh.

“This is between Billy and me. You stepped in and even kicked me. You think we can just drop it? No way!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward. He jumped lightly and swung his right leg in a spinning kick aimed at Leander’s head.

The kick was fast. It was one of his signature moves. It carried a lot of force. If it landed on a normal person, they would pass out on the spot.

Billy stood on Leander’s left. The kick came from the right, aimed straight at Leander.

Rachel let out a small cry. Ava frowned.

Jace is going all out.

Smack!

Leander did not make any extra move. He simply raised his right hand and grabbed Jace’s ankle.

The powerful kick stopped in midair. All its force disappeared right away. Leander pulled back slightly. Jace lost his balance and fell.

Bang!

Jace hit the ground hard. Dust rose as he landed flat on his back.

Leander acted like it was nothing. He glanced at Jace and shook his head.

“Kid, you’ve got guts!”

Jace stood up, holding back the pain. He waved his hand.

“You guys, get him! Beat him until he ends up in the hospital!”

He looked at Leander and laughed coldly.

Chapter 700 Leander’s True Strength

“You think you’re tough? Let’s see how many you can handle! If you beat them all, I’ll let this go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty men in black rushed forward like predators.

They were all retired elite soldiers. The Dufay family had hired them at high pay. They trained often and could each handle multiple opponents.

Seeing all of them charge in, Billy panicked.

Leander’s strong, but there’s no way he can take on over twenty guys at once.

He tried to step forward, but Leander pushed him back.

At that moment, one of the men’s fists was already close to Leander’s face.

The punch was fast and heavy. It was about to land.

Leander stayed calm. He tilted his head slightly.

The man froze. His punch, which should have hit, missed Leander’s face by inches.

Bang!

Leander flicked his left hand. No one saw what he did. The man suddenly dropped to the ground. He clutched his stomach and started throwing up.

Whoosh!

Another man rushed in. He spun in a full circle and kicked toward Leander’s chest.

The spin added speed and power. That kind of force could easily crack bones.

Bang!

Leander stayed relaxed. The moment the kick came in, he lightly tapped the man’s leg with his foot.

The man’s body shook. He lost balance right. stopped responding.

and crashed to the ground. His right leg went numb and
