Chapter 12: Foolish Provocation

Soon, it was evening. Immersed in his cultivation, Leo did not feel the passage of time.

At this time, he heard voices of someone talking. Several men and women in taekwondo uniforms came over.

There were two men and three women. The man in front was tall and strong, with good looks.

"Daisy, I observed you in combat today. You did good and you are talented. With time, you will be able to surpass me!" The tall man praised the woman beside him.

Hearing this, the woman called Daisy smiled. "Nick, you are flattering me. You got your black belt three years ago while I don't know how long it will take for me."

Daisy looked ahead, and she saw the man sitting on the ground, and...

Daisy was stunned at first, and then she exclaimed, "Look, the fish in that pond..."

Their arrival disturbed Leo who slowly opened his sharp eyes.

After hours of cultivation, the spiritual power in his body was finally replenished a bit.

But it was only a bit. He had not been able to get it completely refilled.

Leo was startled when he saw the pond in front of him.

At this time in the pond, almost all the fish had surfaced the water. They crowded near where he sat, seeming to be eating something invisible.

Was it because he had been absorbing spiritual energy here?

Leo was right. All things have spirituality. Leo had been absorbing spiritual energy here, and the fish in the pond sensed the gathered spiritual energy, so they surfaced.

It was such a rare scene that it shocked the five people who appeared here.

One of the girls hurriedly took out her mobile phone and said, "This is a miracle! I have to post it on Tiktok. It will get me a lot of fans."

Leo stood up from the ground and stretched himself. It disturbed the fish and they fled back into the pond.

"Hey! Don't stand up!" cried the girl who was about to film it.

Leo turned his head to glance at them, then turned to leave.

"You, stop!" a man's voice reached Leo's ears.

The tall man, Nick, came up to Leo, deciding to take this chance to show his strength in front of the girls.

"What's up?" Leo was somewhat impatient.

Nick looked him up and down and pointed to the pond. "You just scared away the fish in the pond. You ruined my friend's plan. You need to apologize to her."

Leo frowned and was agitated.

The woman heard Nick's words and quickly explained, "Nick, it's OK. He didn't mean to."

"He has to apologize even if he didn't mean to!" Nick Hood was only a little taller than Leo, but he looked at Leo with a condescending manner.

Leo's eyes turned cold. "What if I don't apologize?"

"Then I will beat you up!" Nick moved his right foot and kicked it at Leo.

But soon, Nick withdrew his right foot.

The other four were all very clear of the noise in the wind just now.

"You really like picking fights, don't you?" Leo said sarcastically.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, if you get down on your knees and beg me, I may consider apologizing." Leo looked at Nick with disdain, as if watching a clown.

"You are dead!" Nick attacked again.

With the spiritual power in his body, Leo was much more flexible than ordinary people. He just dodged sideways and then grabbed Nick's ankle, pulling it back.

The next second, Nick flew out six meters away, accompanied by a huge thump. Then they heard Nick's pain cry.

The other four were all shocked to see this scene.

Since they started learning taekwondo, they had never seen Nick, whom they deemed the best at it, knocked down so easily by someone.

Leo patted the dust on his hands and walked away, ignoring the screaming Nick.

As soon as Leo got into the car, his phone rang. He took it out and found it was Tina calling. Leo answered the phone and put it on speaker.

"Leo, where did you go? Why aren't you cooking now? Do you want to starve us all?" Tina shouted at him.

"Tina, I wonder if you can get used to me being away. After all, I have cooked for you for four years," Leo said in a playful tone.

Tina froze for three seconds and then shouted, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you have never treated me with any respect for four years."

With that, Leo hung up and started the car.

Back in Henley family, as before, Leo started washing dishes and cooking.

He only needed to cook for Martin, Jessica, Tina and himself. Sophia rarely had dinner at home and usually came back at 9 P.M.

He wasn't sure if she was really busy working or doing something else.

After dinner, Martin usually did researched on collections, Jessica watched TV series, Tina hanged out with her friends, while he did the laundry, wash the dishes and clean the house.

After that, in order not to annoy the Henleys, he would shut himself in the bedroom.

Originally, Leo planned to cultivate cross-legged in bed, but there was almost no spiritual energy in this villa, which led to no gain. He had to give up.

Lying in bed, he closed his eyes to check the knowledge in his mind.

And it surprised him.
