“We accept this!” Ryan said through clenched teeth. He was filled with despair.
Saying those few words seemed to drain all the strength from his body.

The Walsh family had dominated Listin for decades, standing tall without challenge. No power had ever shaken their rule. Ryan had led the family’s head up and high his whole life, yet he was now forced to bow to a youngster. Hence, the humiliation was unimaginable. However, no matter how much he resisted, he knew Luca would not lie.
For Luca to show such fear, this could only mean that Leander’s power had already reached a terrifying level beyond comprehension.
Countless Listin elites sighed in disbelief. Everyone had thought Leander would be crushed into nothing as he faced the Walsh family and their top allies. Yet, the reality defied all expectations as Leander trampled the entire Walsh family alone. Once word got out, it would surely cause a massive uproar across Listin.
In the meantime, Melissa, the Walsh family’s treasured princess, had her eyes fixed on Leander.
Leander wasn’t even twenty years old, yet he had already dominated Mornwick and commanded a massive international corporation worth over 100 billion. He had wealth that others couldn’t even dream of having in a lifetime, and his accomplishments had already surpassed ninety percent of the world’s elite, which filled her with deep admiration. Moreover, even Luca, who was their family’s most revered protector, was showing Leander the utmost respect, which left her utterly stunned. After all, she knew exactly what kind of man Luca was. She had once seen him flatten a car into a steel pancake with a single palm. Thus, if he feared Leander, that meant Leander’s strength must be stronger than his.
Melissa had always admired the powerful. In Listin, countless rich heirs had come knocking on the Walsh family’s door, yet none had earned even a smile from her. However, she had now met Leander, who was rich, prestigious, and powerful. He was the strongest peer she had ever
met.
On the other hand, Ryan admitted defeat, and Leander said flatly, “Since you’ve admitted defeat, return all of Linsky Group’s shares within three days. On top of that, provide double the resources that they originally held as compensation. If you fail to do so, I’ll come back for you. When that time comes, I won’t go easy on you like I am now p>
His words earned many disagreements in the crowd’s hearts. After all, how was Leander polite when he had just killed the Walsh family’s only heir?
‘If that was him being polite, then him being impolite would probably mean wiping out the entire family!‘ thought the crowd. However, nobody dared to say a word.

As Leander spoke, he signaled to Yvette, who obediently followed him.
Brothed
“Ms. Hollis, Mr. Sitwell, since things are settled, let’s return to Mornwick. I’ll make sure Limky Group gets everything back, and none of this will ever happen again” Leander smiled as he spoke to the duo, who were still frozen in shock.
As Leander led Yvette and her parents out, no one dared to block their path. Those who had once mocked him now looked on with awe and fear.
When one wasn’t far above others, they might have tried to catch up. However, when someone like Leander could suppress the Walsh family with just one word, everyone realized that they were not on the same level as Leander and could only look up to the latter.
“He’s gone too far p>
Shortly after Leander left, Ryan roared in fury while shattering an expensive porcelain vase.
“Why are you afraid of him, Luca? Why did you stop me from fighting back?” Ryan’s face twisted in rage. “Our family has stood proud in Listin for hundreds of years, yet we are now being humiliated by a young man. How will we maintain our status after today p>
Samuel and Arthur, who were the Walsh family’s second generation, were also seething. Especially Arthur, who was Alfie’s father. For him, having seen his own son being killed in front of everyone and not being able to take revenge was worse than death itself.
The crowd remained silent, but their curiosity surged. They wondered why Luca, who was a powerful figure, feared Leander so much.
Luca looked at Ryan and said solemnly, “Ryan, your entire family would have been wiped out if I hadn’t stopped you back then. Do you understand p>
Ryan was in disbelief. “Impossible. With our family’s influence in Listin, he wouldn’t dare p>
“Hmph!” Luca sneered and said coldly, “Do you think anyone would be able to stop me if I were the one who wiped out your family p>
Hearing his words, Ryan froze and was at a loss for words.
Luca was a genuine martial sovereign on the Astria Power Index. No one could win over him, whether in strength or connections. Thus, no one would do anything if he truly destroyed the Walsh family,
Then, Luca continued, “I actually admire your courage, Ryan. I can’t believe you actually dared to provoke him p>
Ryan suppressed his emotions and replied, “He is just an underground tycoon of Mornwick. Why would you fear him so much? Does he have a strong background p>

“A strong background?” Luca snorted coldly. “Not only that. He is one of the greatest martial great grandmasters alive. He is stronger than I. I wouldn’t even last a second against him p>
Hearing his words, the Walshes were stunned. They thought Leander might be stronger than Luca. However, to defeat Luca with one strike seemed impossible.
“Impossible!” Ryan shook his head, refusing to believe it.
“What’s there to be impossible about?” asked Luca. “Do you remember who killed your father thirty years ago? The Jade Emperor p>
At that moment, Ryan’s eyes widened in horror. Terror and hatred filled his heart as the name flashed through his mind.
“Grayson Shire p>
That man was a true demon to the Walsh family. Decades ago, Ryan’s father was a prestigious bandit king. However, on one snowy night, he encountered Grayson Shire, who chopped off his head in front of Ryan’s eyes. After that, Grayson Shire ascended to the peak of power and lived in the Shire Peak. Even though the Walsh family remained dominant in Listin, they never dared mention his name, nor even approach Listin Star Peak. Even Luca wouldn’t dare to provoke Grayson Shire.
However, Ryan couldn’t understand why Luca would mention Grayson Shire’s name.
Then, he heard Luca say, “I don’t have to tell you how powerful Grayson Shire was since you know it yourself. However, he was killed at Glidewing Mountain in Mornwick nine months ago, and the one who killed him was the very person who just killed Alfie p>
Luca’s words struck like a meteor into the earth, shocking everyone.
The entire Walsh family froze, and Ryan collapsed into his chair.
Grayson Shire was a monster they feared like the plague, yet he had been slain by Leander.
If that were true, then Leander would only be more terrifying.
Just as everyone was lost in disbelief, Melissa asked with curiosity, “Mr. Luca, since you’re ranked on the Astria Power Index, does that mean he’s on it too p>
“Of course,” Luca nodded. “How could he not be on it if someone like me is already on it p>
“If that’s the case…” Melissa’s eyes sparkled. “What rank is he p>
Hearing her words, Luca paused and thought solemnly. Then, he replied in awe, “He is ranked number one in the Power Index p>
