From Outcast to Overlord: The Unyielding Heir Novel

Chapter 34 A Formidable Figure " My backup is here ! " 40 Finished Leander's eyes sparkled with mischief as he regarded Leon , who appeared as pale as a ghost . Leon's expression was bleak , and his heart raced with trepidation . He never anticipated that Leander's backup to be Jamero . In the Ravenridge underworld , Jamero was a well - known figure . Although he seemed to be merely a driver for Frankie , he possessed tremendous power , second only to Frankie himself . His influence and resources were far beyond what someone like Tobias could ever imagine .

Back when Frankie was still a street thug , Tobias was just one of Jamero's lackeys . Later , as Frankie rose to prominence and became the wealthiest man in Ravenridge , Jamero became his personal driver . Tobias and his crew climbed the ranks thanks to Frankie's backing , eventually establishing themselves as the dominant force in the Northern District . Despite their considerable power , they would still bow and show deference to Jamero whenever they encountered him . He was someone no one could not afford to offend .

Leon could not grasp how Leander , merely a bartender , could summon someone as formidable as Jamero . Throughout Ravenridge and even in neighboring cities , numerous wealthy individuals catered to Jamero , flattering him with ingratiating smiles . Their children trembled in his presence like frightened quails . But seeing Jamero show such respect to Leander , Leon could not comprehend the true extent of Leander's terrifying identity . " Hmm ? " As Leander spoke , Jamero's sharp gaze suddenly turned to Leon . " Leon , what is happening ? Did you offend Mr. Leander ?

" Leon's pupils dilated , and cold sweat trickled down his face , which had turned ghostly white . " Mr. Coppell , this ... I ... " He struggled to find words , his body frozen in fear under Jamero's piercing gaze . Once , Jamero had been the most feared enforcer under Frankie , a man whose mere name instilled terror in others . Leon feared that Jamero , in his rage , might strike him right then and there . 1/4 19:26 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 34 A Formidable Figure ( 40 ) Finished Slap ! Jamero's eyes blazed with fury . He stepped forward and struck Leon forcefully across the face .

Jamero was incredibly strong , capable of lifting over a hundred pounds with one hand . The slap sent Leon reeling , his cheek swelling instantly , and two bloody teeth flew from his mouth . However , Leon dared not retaliate , and the thirty or so men with him just stood there , trembling and too frightened to act . " Leon , I recommended you to Tobias because I believed you were a capable man . You were assigned to oversee the central business district . Have you grown arrogant ? " Do you even understand who Mr. Leander is ? How could you dare to offend him ?

" Jamero's eyes flashed with intensity as he kicked Leon , forcing him to stumble back half a meter . " He is Mr. Wainwright's benefactor . Even Mr. Wainwright treats Mr. Leander with the utmost respect . Do you really want to challenge him ? Are you eager to end your own life ? " Leon's back was drenched in sweat , and terror gripped his heart . Just a few days ago , rumors circulated about a mysterious figure supporting Frankie , someone who was a major shareholder in Leandrix Corp. and Frankie's benefactor .

Many speculated about this enigmatic figure's identity , but Leon had never imagined it would be Leander . " Mr. Coppell , I ... I did not know it was Mr. Leander ! " Leon now wished he were dead . He had gathered a crew to seek revenge for Tobias , hoping to gain recognition . Now , he had offended the boss of his boss . Forget about gaining favor . It would be a miracle if he left the bar alive tonight . " You did not know ? Let me enlighten you ! " Jamero was known for his ruthless methods .

Now that Leon had offended Leander , Jamero feared that Leander might hold this incident against Frankie . Jamero came to a decision , grabbed a nearby metal chair , and prepared to bring it down on Leon , Leon's heart sank . He dared not dodge and just watched as the chair descended . Clang ! At that moment , a slender , pale hand halted the chair mid - air . Jamero's heart raced , and he abruptly stopped his attack . 2/4 19:26 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 34 A Formidable Figure It was Leander who had intervened . 40 Finished Jamero was internally shaken .

He had swung the chair with all his might , yet Leander had casually blocked it with a single hand . " There is no need for such violence . " Leander withdrew his hand and shook his head . " He only wanted to avenge Tobias . Although he chose the wrong target , it is understandable . " Leander turned his indifferent gaze toward Leon . " I will overlook this today due to your ignorance . However , the next time you seek revenge , make sure you know if you have the ability to do so ." In that moment , Leon felt as if he had been pulled from hell to heaven .

He hastily knelt and vigorously nodded . " Mr. Leander , I understand . I understand ! I will never do this again ! " Leander's expression remained stoic as he suddenly reached out , grabbing Leon by the collar , and effortlessly lifting him as if he were a toy . Everyone present was stunned . Even Jamero's eyes widened with surprise . He had initially thought Leander was merely a wealthy kid supporting Frankie , but now he realized that Leander was far more dangerous than he had ever imagined . " From this day forward , I want you to keep a close watch on this bar .

There is a waitress named Madeline . I want you to assign people to guarantee her safety twenty - four hours a day , without exception . " If anything happens to her , or if she faces any injustice , I will first go after you ! " Leon repeatedly nodded and thumped his chest in assurance , " Mr. Leander , rest assured ! In the central business district , my word is law ! " Leander nodded and finally released Leon . He then lightly kicked Tobias , who had been pretending to be unconscious , sending him sprawling several feet away .

Tobias had realized things were not going well when Jamero appeared . He pretended to be unconscious the entire time , but Leander's kick caused him to cry out in pain . " I do not care who you are or what role you play under Frankie . By midnight tonight , you had better be out of Ravenridge . 3/4 19:26 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 34 A Formidable Figure " If I see you here after midnight , you are as good as dead ." 140 ) Finished Leander's voice remained calm , yet it was infused with a chilling threat , making Tobias feel as if he had fallen into an icy abyss .

He had spent years working under Frankie in Ravenridge and had finally gained a position of power in the Northern District . He had envisioned a life filled with luxury , with wealth and women at his fingertips . Yet , Leander's words shattered all his dreams for the future . Despite his despair , Tobias dared not linger . Struggling to his feet , he hurriedly fled . He knew that if he remained in Ravenridge past midnight , Leander would undoubtedly follow through on his threat . Between the future he dreamed of and his life , his life was clearly more important . Tobias fled in disgrace .

It was only then that Leander shifted his focus to the remaining patrons in the bar . His gaze finally settled on the bar owner , Daniel . " Regarding tonight's events , I expect everyone here to act as if nothing occurred . I trust you understand my meaning ." With that , Leander signaled to Jamero and exited the bar . The patrons inside stared in astonishment , especially Daniel , who stood frozen in shock , unable to respond . They had all assumed that Leander would face severe repercussions for beating up Tobias . Perhaps he might meet a violent end in retaliation .

Unexpectedly , Leander emerged unscathed while the once - proud Tobias was expelled from Ravenridge in humiliation . Daniel finally snapped out of his stupor and gasped in disbelief . He had always believed that Leander was a powerless bartender , someone he could easily bully . Now , he realized that Leander was anything but ordinary . He was , in fact , an extraordinarily formidable figure . Send Gifts 50 4/4
