Chapter 137
The sound of a ferocious punch cutting through the air echoed in the courtyard.
Almost as soon as the sound rang out, Leonard had disappeared from the sight of the onlookers.
“Be careful!”
The bodyguards were all martial artists of the Power Realm. At this moment, someone warned his companions loudly. However, it was too late, and the bodyguard couldn’t even finish his words.
“Boom!”
One of the bodyguards was sent flying as if he were a kite with a broken string.
Leonard paid no attention to the fallen bodyguard, continuing to strike swiftly among the others.
The bodyguards could only feel a blur in front of them before they crumpled to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty of them were lying on the ground.
“How is this possible?”
Melanie’s face twisted in shock.
These bodyguards were the elites of the Rodgers family, trained at great expense in martial arts.
She had brought them along, thinking it would be an easy victory.
But Leonard had made quick work of them.
“Madam Rodgers, be careful.”
The head of the bodyguards stepped forward, shielding Melanie. His eyes were filled with caution.
At this point, more than twenty bodyguards had already fallen,
and Leonard was steadily approaching Melanie.
“It appears that this man’s strength is at least at the Superior Level of the Power Realm, and there’s a good chance it has reached the Strength Realm level,”
the head bodyguard said with a trembling voice, his eyes fixed on Leonard’s movements.
“Strength Realm?”
Melanie’s face turned paler.
As one of the leaders of her family, she knew exactly what the Strength Realm represented.
“Is that all you can depend on?”
In the midst of Melanie’s astonishment, Leonard had drawn closer.
The head bodyguard was about to strike, but the next moment, Leonard effortlessly waved his hand and sent him flying with an invisible force, making him crash to the
ground several feet away.
Leonard’s gaze fell upon Melanie, looking down at her from above.
“Do you still think no one can stop you now?”
Under the pressure of Leonard’s aura, Melanie involuntarily took a step back.
Yet her retreat made her angry.
Melanie was, after all, the lady of the Rodgers family. But thinking of the fact that so many bodyguards were unable to defeat Leonard, she knew that it would be a foolish move to irritate this young man.
In the end, she turned around without a word, helping her son to his feet.
Then, they slowly walked away.
As for the fallen bodyguards, Melanie didn’t spare them a glance.
They had embarrassed her, so she intended to punish them when they returned…
As for Leonard, Melanie still believed that there was nothing to worry about him. After all, he was just a martial artist.
The bodyguards gradually got up.
Some of them were more injured than others and were supported by their comrades.

When they were finally gone, the Wolff family, including Marianna, let out a collective sigh of relief Marianna approached Leonard and asked worriedly. “Are you injured
“Of course not, but I did fart your brother. You’re not mad at me, are you? Leonard aded.
Marianna shook her head
“My brother had it coming. He needed to be taught a lesson
Leonard nodded
He was satished with her response Marianna weemed to understand the situation well If she blamed Leonard for hurting her brother, Leonard would be very displeased
Since Marianna wasnt reasonable, Leonard found it worthy to stand up for her
On the other side, Mason and others, including Eileen, looked at Leonard with mixed feelings.
Leonard was undeniably powerful and terrifying, and his identity was very mysterious
However, maybe it wasn’t wise for him to offend the Rodgers family like this
After all, the Rodgers family was not easy to mess with
Trocard go inade quickly I only called you because I had no other choice,”
Eileen said. She felt very uneasy because Leonard had completely turned against the Rodgers family just because of her call.
“No, it’s fine. It’s getting late, so I’ll head back now,” Leonard said.
“Marianna, are you sure you don’t want to marry Zavier? Is this just a momentary whim?”
Leonard suddenly asked, his tone serious.
He had to figure this out.
If Marianna had just run away in a fit of anger, he had no reason to get involved.
“Of course not. Zavier is arrogant and lecherous. Even if I die, I won’t marry him,”
Marianna replied with determination.
“Good, then I’ll help you through this. With me around, no one can force you,” Leonard said firmly.
His tone was decisive and domineering.
Since Leonard had decided to help Marianna out, he would never leave her alone.
“Thank you, Leonard ”
Marianna said emotionally.
However, Eileen, who had been listening, had a hint of doubt.
From their conversation, it seemed that Leonard and Marianna were not a couple.
“Could it be.”
Leonard waved at the others and rode his bicycle away.
Mason and others looked stunned.
They couldn’t believe that such a mighty and powerful man would use a bicycle as his method of transportation.
Eileen and Marianna were also a bit dumbfounded, thinking,
“Where did the 20–million–dollar sports car go?”
Back at Shoal Manor, Leonard took a shower in the bathroom.
After a day of messing around, dusk was approaching:
He sat on the terrace and silently lit a cigarette.
But after just a few puffs, his phone rang
It was Gracia
Gracia sounded a bit tired on the other end. “Mr. Santos, the press conference has been arranged. Do you want to attend in person tomorrow?
Gracia knew that Leonard barely cared about any affair of the company, and he seldom attended most of the company’s meetings.

Besides, Leonard was relatively low–key. If he had to face the media and many business celebrities at tomorrow’s press conference, he might not be willing to attend.
Unexpectedly, Leonard said firmly, “Of course.”
After hanging up the phone, Leonard’s gaze became intense. In the light of the setting sun, his expression flickered as he murmured. “This is the first step the Santos Group has taken, and there will be many more to come. I will prove to everyone that Ibrahim’s choice was not wrong…”
