34 Offending the Grey family (1/2)

Leon had never made much progress in comprehending the Laws before but even then, he could tell that as a 1st step awakener, the power of the Laws he could wield was probably not even a millionth fraction of its true might.

His newly acquired fire ability was very useful. It only required his mental will to interact with the energy of heaven and earth to conjure his flame and did not require being powered by his own energy. Using his own energy to conjure the flames was very wasteful as the energy could not be recovered and his cultivation would be lowered instead. Unless he reaches Energy Condensation state, he wouldn't be so extravagant in using his energy.

Leon could freely control the form his fire takes with his strong visualization. Control is dependent on good visualization. If the person could not form a clear image of what they wanted their fire to look like in their mind, then the fire would just stay in its most naturally form. Leon had practiced visualization techniques to master his control over fire in his past life. Although there was some difference in using energy and using his will, it did not affect his control over fire too much.

Leon conjured a decent size fireball and threw it at Snake's corpse after tossing the body to stone floor first. The fire spread quickly until it swallowed the whole corpse in flame. He was testing the intensity of his flame, but the temperature of the flame was not great. It wasn't much different to regular fire and obviously wasn't enough to incinerate the body into ashes. All he got out of the experiment was a blackened body.

The sight was sickening but it didn't affect him much. He had long graduated from throwing up over gory scenes. He had treated all sorts of terrible wounds and illnesses before, building up a high mental resilience to such ugly sights.

”You two can come in.” Leon called for Arlo, and Gower.

”You can just call us Arlo and Gower, Boss. What do you need us for?” Arlo took the initiative to talk first when they were called in.

”I need one of you to get rid of the body.” Leon said bluntly, while gesturing to them what was left of Snake's body.

Despite being in the underworld for so long and experienced many blood and violence, the duo still could not help gasping in cold air and shiver in fear at the sight.

'What grudge did you have against him to torture him to such a state? This kid… no… our Boss looks pretty innocent, but his heart is so cruel.'

The duo secretly swore that they would do their job wholeheartedly and try their best not to get on Leon's bad side. They didn't want to end up like Snake.

”What do you need me to do, Boss?” Gower asked after Arlo left.

”Fix the floor for now.” Leon thought for a bit before saying.

”Right away, Boss.”

Part of the floor was broken apart when Snake was using his ability to escape. Gower tried to put the stones back in place with his ability but the whole place started shaking instead.

”STOP! Do it manually.”

”Sorry, Boss.” Gower quickly apologized. Clearly his control over his ability was atrocious and wasn't focused enough. He would've teared the place down instead, had he continued. Leon wasn't going to instruct him on how to improve his control though. He had just taken over the gang and required a period of time to observe the characters of its members. He would reward and punish them accordingly.

”Boss, the Grey family has a job for us.” Manager Doug came down and reported with another person following behind him. The person was a servant of the Grey family. He was taken aback when he heard manager Doug addressing a 17-year old kid as the boss. What happen to the previous boss?

Although he had doubts, he did not voice them as it was not important. The internal affairs of the gang did not concern them as long as they can continue to complete the tasks given to them.

”What is the content of the job?” Leon frowned.

”The Grey family wants your gang to secretly sabotage the construction project of the Cromwell's family. Here is the payment in advance.” The servant said arrogantly, as if he already knew that they would accept the job.

The Cromwell family was a giant in the real estate business. The Grey family wanted to take adventure of the project failure to sling mud on their reputation and make it easier for their Grey family to enter the real estate business. The real estate was a lucrative business and they wanted a piece of the pie.

”You're just another dog of the Grey family. What are you acting all arrogantly for?” Leon was displeased with the servant's arrogant behavior.
