"As—Asmodeus?" the Black Gorilla widened his eyes in horror, and he immediately froze in his tracks.Although he never met Asmodeus in person before, all the villains on the Criminal List were among the most wanted of the Dragon Corps and thus had their true identities exposed to the public long ago to aid capture.Asmodeus' half-monster mask was his most striking feature, and seeing it on the dead body before him made the Black Gorilla certain that this was none other than the legendary Asmodeus himself!"Asmodeus is dead? This can't be!" the Black Gorilla was utterly stunned by this. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing. According to what he heard, Asmodeus successfully evaded the Thompsons' capture and escaped, so he never dreamed that the sly and cunning Asmodeus would have met his end so soon!This was unbelievable!He would never have believed this was true if he did not see it with his own two eyes!The next moment, the Black Gorilla glanced first at As
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, but if you want, I can send you to the underworld and ask Asmodeus yourself!" Leon sneered, then brought out the Cuff of Doom and grasped it tightly."The Cuff of Doom!" the black gorilla was horrified to see Leon holding the Cuff of Doom. He thought Leon was just trying to scare him by claiming to have killed Asmodeus, but the fact that Asmodeus' prized possession ended up in Leon's hands proved that he was indeed the one who slaughtered him!How else would Leon have managed to get his hands on an Almighty Weapon like that?At this realization, the black gorilla no longer dared to carry out his mission and instead turned to storm out the door as fast as his legs could carry him.If Leon was capable of killing even Asmodeus, he could defeat him as easily as ABC!"Trying to escape? Too late!" Leon sneered.Without a moment's hesitation, he lunged forward with the Cuff of Doom in his hand, unleashing a powerful surge of power that barrel
"What do you think? I told you that I'm going to send you to meet Asmodeus!" Leon said maliciously and he started to walk toward the Black Gorilla."Don't! Brat- No, Mister Wolf, I was wrong. Please have mercy and forgive me! So long as you let me go, I'll change my ways and never cause you any trouble again!" The Black Gorilla completely caved and started pleading for his life sincerely.Since Leon managed to kill Asmodeus, who was in the Semi Almighty State, the Black Gorilla was utterly terrified and Leon wanted to kill him. In the face of death, he could only swallow his pride."It's too late for that!" Leon scoffed and raised his arm, before hesitating.Though the Black Gorilla was hardly a kind man, the crimes he committed were not comparable to vicious thugs like Asmodeus and he did not deserve to die for his sins. Leon never enjoyed taking lives and he would often spare people like the Black Gorilla after destroying their power.However, the circumstances with the Black Go
"Mister Wolf, didn't you say that you are going to spare me? What are you doing?" Startled, the Black Gorilla looked at Leon in terror.Even an ant had the will to live, not to mention a human. Though the Black Gorilla's power was destroyed, he was still glad to be alive, but since Leon did not seem to intend on letting him go, his heart started racing."Don't panic! Since I've promised to spare your life, I'll keep my word! I'm going to send you to a place and if you truly recognize your faults, you might be freed in three to five years!" Leon smiled devilishly."What? Wh- Where are you sending me?" The Black Gorilla's expression darkened as an ominous feeling took over him.He thought that Leon would release him and already decided to beg for the Southern Boss's assistance to seek revenge on Leon once he returned. To his bewilderment, Leon had other plans and shattered his hope completely."You'll know once we get there!" Leon said, before ignoring the Black Gorilla's protest an
"You sure are good at bragging! You will regret this once you see the Southern Boss in person!" The Black Gorilla sneered at Leon's attitude.He had no clue how Leon managed to kill Asmodeus, but was certain that the Southern Boss was far superior in strength compared to Asmodeus. On top of that, the Southern Boss had countless subordinates in the Emperor States and even a few loyal followers in the Almighty State.With such a formidable army, even the Thompsons would have thought twice before crossing the Southern Boss; Leon would be rendered helpless if he faced the Southern Boss's wraith and the Black Gorilla struggled to understand how Leon could be so confident."Alright. Save that talk! We're here, so get out!" Leon scoffed and opened the car door to pull the Black Gorilla out, before walking to the back of the car to retrieve Asmodeus's body.The Black Gorilla scanned his surrounding and soon realized where Leon brought him. "The National Security Department? Brat, why are y
Leon was more than pleased that the Black Gorilla was willing to go to the National Security Department on his own and hurried after him."This is the National Security Department! Employees only!"Both Leon and the Black Gorilla were instantly stopped by two guards dressed in black uniforms."Good sirs, I'm a martial artist! This kid injured me and robbed me of my Luminous Pearl. I need to seek the Dragon Corps' help!" Before Leon had the time to explain the situation, the Black Gorilla got ahead of him and manipulated the truth by saying that it was Leon who robbed him.If he was lucky, the Dragon Corps might help to take the Pearl from Leon and deliver it to him; even if he failed to obtain the Spiritual Pearl, he could at least annoy Leon."What?! Kid, you dare to rob someone in front of the National Security Department? How dare you?!"The guards were both shocked.The Dragon Corps aimed to execute justice and maintained the order of the martial artists' community, and thou
"This is great!" The Black Gorilla grinned from ear to ear as he watched the situation escalate.He only meant to annoy Leon, but Leon was far too arrogant. Not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he also provoked the people in the National Security Department by mentioning that he wanted to go to the Dragon Corps.He could not help but fantasize about Leon getting into a fight with the guards. Once the Dragon Corps interfered, he might have the chance to steal the Spiritual Pearl from Leon.However, before he could fully envision his fantasy, what happened next shook him to his core."Captain Scots, right? This is my badge. See for yourself if I have the right to enter the Dragon Corps base!" Leon knew that the guards were turned against him because of what the Black Gorilla said and did not bother wasting his time arguing.He tossed a badge the size of a credit card to Captain Scots. The badge was made of a material that resembled both iron and wood, with the word 'Dragon' carv
"That's not possible! This isn't real!" The Black Gorilla paled as all strength was drained from him and he collapsed onto the ground.He did not know much about Leon, but Charlie gave him detailed information about Leon before the Black Gorilla was sent to assassinate Leon.It was written on the document that Leon was merely a relative of the Scammells; not only was he weak, but he also came from a small city and had no support in the southern region.However, not only did Leon kill Asmodeus, who was extremely powerful, he proved himself to be a Dragon Guard of the Dragon Corps.The Black Gorilla could not imagine how someone with such influence and power would be referred to as weak and he resented Charlie for misleading him."Sir, we didn't know about you. We apologize if we've offended you," Captain Scots said, before handing the Dragon Guard Badge back to Leon respectfully.The other guards, especially the two who interacted with Leon at the very beginning, felt nervous abou
