"Anderson, stop wasting your time talking to that girl! Just grab her along with Iris!" Charlie looked at Roanne's stunning looks, and his eyes glinted. He suddenly felt a sense of amazement.Since Roanne had been ill and rarely went out, he had never seen Roanne before and did not know that Roanne was a Thompson!Other than that, Roanne's looks were comparable to Iris'. Both of them were beautiful beyond compare!If he could get both of them at the same time, having one for each arm, would it not be perfect?Just thinking about it got him very excited!"Yes!" Anderson acknowledged.Right after that, without a second of delay, he rushed forward to grab the two girls!"Not good…"Patrick and the others felt their hearts sink at the sight.They wanted to stop Anderson from getting Iris, but Anderson was just too strong. On top of that, Patrick and Damian had already been injured by Anderson before that.They were powerless to help and could only stare with widened eyes as Iri
Charlie looked at the old man warily after he snapped out of his shock. "W—Who are you?""John Thompson," the old man said coldly, announcing who he was."What? Y—You're a Thompson?"The announcement left everyone shell-shocked as though a bomb had gone off. Whether it was Charlie and Rick or Damian's side, none of them expected an expert from the Thompsons to miraculously be present.Charlie looked at Roanne behind John, and his eyes widened. He quickly guessed who Roanne was. "Is that Roanne Thompson, then?"He might never have met Roanne before, but he knew who she was.Most of the ancient families had heard about how Roanne had been captured by Asmodeus a few days ago as well; it was just that very few people had seen Roanne herself.With John beside Roanne and protecting her, anyone would be able to guess that Roanne was the secretive daughter of the Thompsons."I guess you do have eyes," John said with a sneer."That…"Charlie was thoroughly shocked when John admitted t
"These bad guys attacked and hurt Leon! Capture them all so Leon can deal with them!" Roanne ordered angrily."Yes!" answered John.It was always better to take the head of the beast first. He knew that Charlie was the leader of their opponents, so he quickly launched forward with immense power, trying to grab Charlie."Don't!"Charlie was scared stiff. He knew very well that John was too strong. He was far from someone he and the others could deal with. Moreover, after everything that happened between him and Leon, the latter would never forgive him if he was captured and handed over to him.With danger looming, he quickly had a thought as he retreated and hurriedly said, "Sir, wait! I want to say something!""Speak up, then!" John scoffed, stopping his attack for a moment.After all, he was someone from the older generation, while Charlie was from the younger generation. He could not possibly not give Charlie the chance to speak."Sir, this is an internal conflict between t
"Sir, you should know that the Martells are related to the Southern Boss. Please let me go for his sake!" Charlie hurriedly mentioned the Southern Boss when he saw that John was starting to sway."The Southern Boss?" John's expression turned serious.Even though the Thompsons were not afraid of the Southern Boss, he did not dare underestimate that man's power. Furthermore, he was just one of the collateral descendants of the family. He did not dare to make any decisions.Without permission from the family head, he would not provoke the Southern King for something so small. He could not risk stirring up more conflict.It would do the Thompsons no good."For the sake of the Southern Boss, get lost, you brat," John said coldly, quickly making a decision.If Charlie left, he would have helped Leon protect the first line of the Scammells. That was more than enough.To prevent the matter from getting any more serious, he was forced to stop here."Thank you. I'll take my leave, then."
"Mister Thompson, are you seeing this? You've already agreed to let us leave, but Leon's trying to stop us! If he ends up in some conflict with us because he doesn't know his place, please keep your promise. Don't protect him," Charlie said seriously.He had to render John neutral so that he would not help Leon fight him."I…"John was speechless.He could tell what Charlie was planning, but he had a point—he, John, gave him his word. Since he was from the older generation, he could not go against his promise, especially when it affected his family's reputation.Furthermore, he did not want the matter to get any bigger, so he was not planning on going against his word anyway."Mister Wolf, you should just forget about it. Since they've stepped out of the matter, you should let them leave," John advised."That's right!""Leon, we're all fine now anyway. Let's just let the matter rest!"Patrick and Damian chimed in as well, advising Leon as they did.Even though Charlie had inj
"Leon, you're no match for them. Don't be reckless!" said Patrick hurriedly.He and Damian stepped forward, enduring the pain that seared through their bodies as they intended to stop Leon. Before the two of them could stop things from happening, however, Iris suddenly grabbed them by their arms."Grandfather, uncle, don't worry! Leon is very strong, and they won't be able to do anything to him. Since he wants to help the family, just let him!" Iris said in a hurry.She knew of Leon's skills. With Leon's unbeatable Potential Energy, it would be very easy for Leon to beat them.Earlier, Charlie's subordinates had injured Patrick and Damian before ambushing Leon and injuring him then. She was furious at the fact, and she had hoped Leon would be able to teach them a lesson."Yes. Iris is right—Leon is very strong! If they hadn't snuck up on him just now, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to him!" Roanne nodded in agreement.Just like Iris, she had witnessed that terrifying
"You don't know what's good for you!"There was a sharp glint in Anderson's eyes. He knew that Leon had a low-grade protective treasure, but after having injured him with one blow before, he guessed that Leon's treasure would not be able to stop his attack.Leon seemed to have conveniently forgotten that fact, however, and he still planned on relying on his treasure to face him head-on!Was that not suicidal?Anderson increased his power, planning on using his full strength to cripple Leon."He's done for..."Patrick and Damian's faces were ashen as their hearts sank at Leon's actions.Earlier, they had all seen that Leon was no match for Anderson, and that was just minutes ago.They did not think Leon would be able to turn the tables in such a short period. That did not seem likely at all!Without a miracle, Leon would lose in a worse manner by facing Anderson like this. There were no other possibilities!"You brought this onto yourself!" Charlie smirked at the sight and fel
Charlie quickly shot Bill a look after he snapped out of his shock. "Bill, what are you standing idle for? Hurry and attack!"Bill immediately understood and quickly charged forward. He swiftly struck at the back of Leon, who was not yet in a readied state after having defeated Anderson, powerfully.Iris, Patrick, and the others panicked at the sight. They hurriedly shouted to Leon. "Leon, careful!""You're trying to attack me from behind? Despicable!"The furious Leon quickly turned, but it was too late for him to avoid the attack. Thus, he instead uses his mirror against the attack."Die, you brat!" With a vicious smirk, Bill unleashed his full power as his fist landed on Leon's chest.Even though Leon had defeated Anderson, Bill attributed it to Anderson being injured by John. To him, Anderson's power must have weakened greatly because of that, which was why he was unfortunate enough to fall to Leon.Bill, however, was different; he was not injured at all. He was also slightl
