At a relatively remote area in the southern suburbs, there were some private residences. That was where Asmodeus was hiding.Asmodeus regularly hid in the outskirts of the city, and the ones staying around him were all regular folk. It was a very unassuming place in various ways, which was how he managed to avoid the capture of the Dragon Corps!At that moment, in one of the residences at the back, Asmodeus drove inside with a very ordinary-looking black sedan.Earlier, the Thompsons sent out a lot of experts to pursue him, and they worked with a lot of ancient martial arts families as well. He was almost caught many times!However, the Southern Boss made ample preparations, so he managed to avoid pursuit by the Thompsons and managed to get back!"Angus, once I kill your daughter, I'll slowly settle the score with you! From now on, I'll make sure the Thompsons don't get a single day of rest since I have the Southern Boss helping me!" Asmodeus let out a cold sneer as his eyes glint
"Let you go? Do you think that's possible? Well, let me tell you this; after I get my hands on you, I will strip you naked and hang you on a pole in the busiest part of the city, so the entire Southern region will be able to see what's underneath little Miss Thompson's dress! After that happens, I'd like to see how the Thompsons are going to clear their name!" Asmodeus sneered, and a glint of excitement flashed through his eyes. Roanne sat up as though she was struck by lightning. She was always confined to her house as a result of her illness and thus longed to explore the outside world, but she never once dreamed that after Leon managed to cure her disease and give her the gift of freedom, she would fall into the hands of someone like Asmodeus before she got a chance to see the world! What scared her the most was that Asmodeus not only wanted to dishonor her, he even wanted to humiliate her and the rest of the Thompsons after she died! Roanne was an innocent girl, and could
"You again! I can't believe how daft you are to come after me again!" Asmodeus was shocked to see that it was Leon. Considering that he attacked Leon once before while they were at the Thompson's, he thought Leon would suffer severe injuries from that, and he never once dreamed Leon would show up before him once more, unscathed! This shocked Asmodeus greatly. However, he was not the only one surprised by this—even Roanne was stunned to see him. "Leon, what are you doing here?" Roanne rubbed her eyes, trying to see if she was dreaming this. She already lost all hope of making it out alive, but now, Leon showed up miraculously in her last moments of despair! A glimmer of hope ignited within her heart at this. "I-" Leon's face was pale as he opened his mouth to explain. He already prepared himself for this; when Asmodeus found him, he would bring out his Potential Energy Force and kill Asmodeus without a second's hesitation! However, reality did not often go as planne
At the same time, Leon circled past Asmodeus and darted into the living room, straight toward Roanne, without a moment's hesitation.Asmodeus could sense Leon near his feet, but now, he was effectively put on edge by Leon's warning and did not dare to move even an inch.Besides, Leon was far less powerful than him, and thus he was not at all bothered!Asmodeus knew that it would be as ABC for him to defeat Leon and thus was not at all worried about Leon rescuing Roanne from right underneath his nose. Now that Leon voluntarily snuck into his living room, it would work out even better for him—with Leon's addition, he would have one more person to hold hostage against the Thompsons!Therefore, Asmodeus took no notice of Leon at all and instead remained fixated on trying to find the two Almighty Warriors hidden in his yard. "Where are the warriors, Leon? Please ask them to save us!" Roanne was delighted to see Leon appear before her, and her heart ignited with newfound hope. "There
"You're going to regret this, Asmodeus! Take this!" Leon was already prepared for this and immediately drew out his Potential Energy Force, raising it above his head and bringing it down to defeat Asmodeus once and for all! "Me? How cocky of you to say this, you twat." Asmodeus burst into laughter at this, his eyes filled with contempt. He was familiar with Leon's powers and thus knew that Leon's combat skills were a far cry from his. He could easily defeat Leon without even batting his eye! However, Leon dared to threaten him like this, and it amused Asmodeus to see this. Before he could even finish, what happened next shocked Asmodeus to the core— "Thud—" A surge of power erupted all around Leon as he drew the Potential Energy Force out, and it was as though the air froze all around them with only the particles of the Potential Energy Force buzzing with power. "What's this?" Asmodeus was horrified when he sensed the sheer power contained within the Potential Energy Fo
With a deafening thud, Leon's Potential Energy Force tore Asmodeus' attack right apart and landed squarely in the middle of his chest. Not only that, but the energy surged right through him, coming out the other side and leaving a bowl-sized hole in his flesh! "How can this be?" Asmodeus lowered his head to gape at the hole in his chest, his eyes wide with shock and horror. Then, with a thump, his body tipped forward and landed on the ground, thus signifying the end of his horrendous life. "This is amazing! Master Haslewood's tricks do work after all!" Leon was overjoyed to see this. He finally realized just how powerful his master was—not even an Almighty Weapon could stand a chance against Master Haslewood's attacks! Roanne was even more stunned by this. She popped her head out from behind Leon and rubbed her eyes when she saw Asmodeus' body on the floor, unable to believe her own two eyes. "Leon, you killed Asmodeus! This is incredible!" Roanne was so delighted by this that
"By the way, Leon, since you're so powerful, why didn't you defeat Asmodeus sooner?" Roanne could not help asking rather dubiously. She witnessed Leon kill Asmodeus with just one stroke earlier, and suddenly realized just how powerful Leon was, therefore, she could not help wondering why Leon did not defeat Asmodeus sooner and instead suffered two attacks from Asmodeus before finally retaliating. "Well, the Potential Energy Force which I used to defeat Asmodeus doesn't differentiate friend from foe, and if I used it earlier, I was worried that it would hurt you by mistake," Leon explained. "Wow, you were thinking of me all along?!" Roanne felt as though her heart skipped a beat as a strange feeling surged into her heart. She finally realized that Leon was capable of killing Asmodeus right on the spot, back when he kidnapped her from the Thompsons' place. However, because she was still in Asmodeus' hands, Leon did not dare to risk anything and instead would rather put himsel
Thompson Mansion. Since the plan to trap Asmodeus failed miserably, the Thompsons' team of martial artists, which included Angus himself, finally returned home. At this moment, Arthur and the rest of the Thompsons, including Vivian and Yuri, were waiting in the living room anxiously for news of Angus' return. Now that it was three hours since Roanne's kidnapping, Vivian was worried sick about the lack of news from Angus' side, and could barely keep herself still. "Thud, thud, thud—" All of a sudden, footsteps rang out as Angus and the rest of the martial artists finally returned. "What's going on now, Angus? Where's Roanne? Did you manage to save her?" Vivian was the first to approach them nervously at the sight of her husband. "No," Angus shook his head, and there was not a hint of color on his face. "What?" Vivian felt as though she was struck by lightning. All her hope seemed to disintegrate with that one syllable. Then, without warning, her legs gave out benea
