----------------------------------------

The continuous bombardment of missiles engulfed everything.smoke started to rise, Soon, the General ordered the helicopters via walkie-talkie, "Stop."

The General turned to a soldier and ordered, "Go and check whether he is still alive or dead."

The soldier gulped and replied loudly, "Yes, sir!" Then he slowly walked toward the smoke.

The soldier slowly walked toward the smoke while others readied themselves, raising their guns and aiming at the area where the soldier had gone. They stayed alert, ready to fire if anything moved.

The General watched everything with a mix of seriousness and excitement. While thinking 'If I obtain that body… who knows? Maybe I could gain powers like his. Maybe even uncover the secret to immortality—or create more like him. This would make me famous, increase military power exponentially, and allow me to stand above all'.

As the General remained lost in thoughts of the future, the soldier who had entered the smoke suddenly screamed. Instantly, a massive magma fist tore through the smoke and surged upward, aimed straight at a army helicopter in the sky.

The attack was so fast that no one could react. The massive magma fist slammed directly into a helicopter, igniting it instantly. It melted, burned, and then detonated in a violent explosion.

Shards of metal and molten magma were thrown everywhere. Several fragments struck another helicopter, causing it to melt mid-air and crash toward the ground.

The General snapped out of his thoughts and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shoot!"

All the soldiers opened fire toward the smoke without hesitation. The General then looked up at the remaining helicopter in the sky and barked into his walkie-talkie, "Prepare the V compound missiles!"

The soldiers in the helicopter acknowledged the order with a nod. Without hesitation, one pressed the launch button, firing a missile marked with blue stripes directly into the smoke.

I was about to launch another attack when a missile suddenly struck near me and detonated. Unlike the others, it didn't explode—it released blue particles that instantly began freezing everything in place, including me.

Before I could break free, dozens more of these missiles were fired at me.

Soon, the smoke cleared. The General, seeing everything frozen, began to laugh. I stood at the center of it all, half-frozen. The ice slowly started to melt under my magma power.

Hearing his laughter, I looked at the General and asked, "Well… what was that thing you launched?"

The General stopped laughing, but a smirk remained on his face. In a slightly arrogant tone, he said, "Glad you liked it. That was Compound V, invented by our scientists a few years ago. It was designed to control volcanic eruptions—a single drop can cool down an entire volcano. It costs a fortune, but for your body and its secrets, it was worth it."

I immediately understood, but before I could say anything, the System's voice rang in my head.

[--ding--]

[--it looks like the host was in danger it is suggested to the host to accept the rewards of the previous missions in order to escape--]

This piqued my attention, so I asked the system in my mind, "Which previous mission?"

[--"The mission was issued by the system to eliminate the tyrants and the mad scientist on the island, but the Host dismissed the message."--]

I sighed in relief. Maybe this could help me escape the situation. I asked the system, "System, directly claim the rewards. I don't have time to check them."

[--"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 5% of Akainu's template. Reward is being issued."--]

Suddenly, I felt a current flow through my body. My magma fruit powers surged, and all my stats increased—strength, stamina, physique, endurance, everything.

[--"Congratulations, Host. You have achieved peak mastery of the Navy Six Styles. Your reward has been issued."--]

Suddenly, I felt knowledge and energy pour through me. It felt like I had reached peak mastery of all the Navy Six Styles at 30% of the template.

The General, hearing no reply from me, thought I had surrendered and accepted my fate. He suddenly let out a menacing laugh. Laughing loudly, he shouted, "Ha… ha… ha… it looks like you have accepted your fate, Mr. Kennedy."

His laughter and voice pulled my attention back to him.

I didn't hesitate. A faint smirk formed as I muttered in a low voice, "Oh, really?" Then magma began to engulf me, melting all the ice around me, rage started to flick in my eyes again turning them molten black.

--25 minutes later--

At White house---

At the White House, a meeting was in progress involving the President and several high-ranking politicians, with everyone engaged in discussion. Suddenly, the President raised his hand and said, "Stop."

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at the President. Seeing the room quiet, he continued, "This is getting nowhere. Do you have any idea what will happen if this plan fails? Do you know what he might do? You are currently provoking a wounded, enraged beast because of your greed for power."

Suddenly, a fat politician raised his hand and said, "Why are you worrying so much, Mr. President? Even if he has superpowers, he is still just one man. What can he really do? Will he fight back, or will he protect his lover's grave?"

The President fell silent, but before he could respond, another man raised his hand and said, "You're thinking too much, Mr. President. Don't you also want to get your hands on those powers he possesses? Think about it—bullets can't hurt him, missiles can't kill him, and he regenerates instantly. Don't you want that too?"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out outside the hall. Everyone's eyes turned toward the door.

Suddenly, a man covered in blood all over his body kicked the door open. Seeing this, everyone stood up from their seats. One of them shouted, "Who are you, intruder? Explain yourself! This is the White House—you cannot barge in here without permission!"

A politician suddenly noticed a severed head in the intruder's right hand. He looked closely and felt it resembled someone he knew, but the blood covering the face made it impossible to confirm.

From its expression, it was clear the man had died a horrible death—terror frozen across his face.

Suddenly, it hit him who it was. With a trembling voice and a shaking hand, he pointed at the intruder's right hand and said, "Look… it's Ross's… Lieutenant General Ross's severed head!"

Hearing this, everyone's face turned pale. In that moment, they all understood who the intruder was. Yes—the intruder was none other than Leon himself.

--Leon pov--

I took a deep breath and slowly threw Ross's severed head toward the President. Everyone instinctively backed away from it in fear.

But the President remained firm. He had known this might happen. With a deep sigh, he looked at Leon, though fear still lingered in his eyes.

The President took a deep breath and looked at me. "Sorry, Mr. Leon. Greed also took hold of me. I know this might not be enough, but I want to make a request. Please don't kill anyone else. If you want, you can kill me. I will accept your wrath. Please… let them go."

This caught me off guard. I hadn't thought the President would be this kind of person, but I acknowledged it. Then I looked at everyone and said, "I gave you all a chance. I warned you not to interfere, but you didn't take it seriously. Now I won't kill you guys… but I won't let you go easily either."

Then I turned around and started walking. Seeing this, everyone looked relieved. I stopped—instantly, the tension returned.

I looked back and said, "This is your last warning. Don't interfere with me again, or you will face far worse consequences."

Then I continued walking. Everyone sighed in relief and sat back down. Suddenly, the President shouted, "Whose shitty plan was this?" Hearing this, everyone tensed up again.

Soon, night arrived, and I reached home. Without wasting time, I entered through the front gates.

Seeing me enter the villa, Emma—who had been waiting—walked toward me and asked, "Are you okay, Master Leon? You look exhausted."

I didn't waste time and asked directly, "Is dinner ready?"

She smiled and replied, "Yes, dinner is ready. But you should take a bath first, Master Leon."

I nodded and walked toward my room while replying, "I will."

Soon, I took a bath, then picked up a new set of clothes—a black trouser and a white T-shirt. After that, I walked downstairs to eat dinner.

While I was eating, Emma suddenly walked toward me and said, "Sir, you should watch this." She picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

I looked up and saw myself on the screen—fighting guards, destroying the building, and chasing a helicopter.

Emma stood silently beside me, watching it all. Then she quietly said, "Master Leon… it looks like someone filmed your entire fight with a camera."

I didn't say anything for a moment, then spoke. "It doesn't matter now. We have bigger issues to handle. It's already too late for this."

Suddenly, I paused as I remembered something. I looked up at Emma and said, "Go check who was involved in the attack on Julia's grave. Get their list and release every piece of evidence we have about their dark deeds across all platforms. Make sure no one is left out."

She nodded and left, saying, "Okay, Master Leon."
