"How's this then, Angus, Old Hughes? Did you change your mind yet about us winning?" Devon snickered. He placed his hands behind his back in a stance of triumph, as though he already secured his victory! However, the reality was not too far off from his expectations; to triumph over the Thompsons, he summoned every last one of his guards, especially those at the Almighty State or Semi-Almighty State, to come with him, leaving only Declan, his second-in-command, to hold down the fort at home. Whereas the Hughes and the Thompsons, on the other hand, came unprepared and possibly brought only four or five Almighty Warriors along at most! There was no way they could match up against the Hiltons at all! "You—" Both Angus and Alan's faces sank at this realization. Just as Devon predicted, Angus brought only three warriors at the Initial Almighty State with him, whereas Alan, who arrived in an even greater hurry, managed to summon only two! They had only five Almighty Warriors in to
"Angus, I have a plan. We Hughes and the rest of your men can stall them as best as we can, while you escape with President Wolf!" seeing that the Hiltons unleashed their attack, Alan quickly came up with the best plan he could think of. Although the Hiltons were at a significant advantage, they were not too far off; they had a total of six Almighty Warriors combined, and it would not be difficult to stall the Hiltons for a few minutes. The Hiltons' main target was Leon, and as long as Angus could help him escape, their problems would be solved! "Yes, will do!" Angus quickly agreed, knowing that this was their best bet. Then, he signaled for Sixth-Uncle Thompson and the rest of his warriors to join Alan's forces, while he leaped to Leon's side. "Mister Wolf, the Hiltons are far too powerful, and we can't hold them off for too long. I'll help you escape while we can," Angus explained as he reached out to grab hold of Leon, but Leon turned him down. "No, I can't escape just lik
"What an arrogant little twat! I can't believe you dare to talk to me like that even in the face of death! I guess you have gotten tired of living, haven't you?" Devon was even more outraged to hear this. "Shut up, old hag! Come at me with everything you have—I'd like to see you try!" Leon replied coldly, his tone full of contempt. "Very well then! You asked for it, you twat! I'll let you pay the price for looking down on the Hiltons like this!" Devon was irate. Then, he and Declan successfully evaded Alan's attacks and leaped into the air, landing lightly on their feet in front of Leon! The rest of the Hiltons, like Devon, were equally outraged by Leon's cockiness. The three Initial Almighty Warriors sped right past Sixth-Uncle Thompson and the rest of the martial artists' defense, and darted straight toward Leon! In a split second, Leon became the target of everyone's attention! "Oh no. there's no way he'll get out of this alive!" the color drained from Angus and Alan's fa
"Huh? The Dragon Corps? What are they doing here?" Devon and Declan were both stunned to hear of Oliver and Abraham's sudden appearance. The Dragon Corps was in charge of maintaining peace and were akin to the judiciary system of the Gangster World. As bold as the Hiltons were, none of them would even dare to commit murder right under the Dragon Corps' noses! Therefore, they had no choice but to release their hold on Leon. "This is great! Leon is saved!" Alan and Angus, on the other hand, were delighted by the Dragon Corps' sudden arrival. They all thought that Leon would surely die, but now, the Dragon Corps arrived just in time and saved him! Although none of them knew why the Dragon Corps showed up all of a sudden, it was clear that with the Dragon Corps getting involved, none of the Hiltons would dare to lay even a finger on Leon! They all felt as though a weight was lifted off their shoulders! "Sir! Mister Wolf, are you okay?" Oliver and Abraham asked in concern as the
"Um," Devon did not know how to react to Oliver's interrogation. He knew full well that trespassing was among the most forbidden acts in the Gangster World! Although the Dragon Corps rarely got involved in these conflicts, they have long-established some laws about gang wars and feuds to minimize the consequences as much as possible to maintain peace. However, the fact that the Hiltons trespassed into the Scammells' territory meant that they broke one of the most sacred laws known to them! It was one thing if the Dragon Corps were not notified of this, but now that they came to know of the Hiltons' invasion, there was no way they could sit by idly and allow it to happen right underneath their noses! "Sirs, please listen to me! Leon has also trespassed into the Golans' territory once before, and not only did he cripple my cousin, Seth, he even stripped Seth of his powers—a truly cruel and ruthless act! We Hiltons came over on behalf of the Golans to avenge Seth's fate—we didn't me
"Outrageous! This is shameless!" Angus and the rest of the people on Leon's side were infuriated to hear Joel, Eliam, and the others slander Leon like that. However, they could not deny the truth that was sitting right in front of them; Iris was perfectly unscathed, whereas Seth was severely injured! One did not have to be a rocket scientist to see who was the victim here! Therefore, as much as they wanted to help clear Leon's name, none of them knew just how to begin explaining this! "Sirs, that's not what happened at all!" Iris was beginning to panic at this. She wanted to explain everything to Oliver and Abraham, but before she could even begin, Oliver stopped her, "Miss Young, you don't have to say anything further! We know just what the truth is!" "Oh no! It appears that even the Dragon Corps have fallen prey to Joel's lies!" Everyone's hearts sank at this. They all assumed that Oliver and Abraham bought into Joel's lies! They were not the only ones thinking this; eve
"Splendid! This is splendid! Mister Wolf, not only are you a talented man, but your greatness is known even to government figures! My admiration for you grows even deeper with each passing day!" Angus could not help bursting into laughter as he said this. he knew Leon for a while now and was beginning to grow familiar with Leon's background. Initially, he thought Leon was just a nobody who hailed from Springfield City and would not be able to achieve much in a big city like the Southern Region, but now, he finally realized just how much he underestimated Leon! The fact that Leon managed to build connections with the Dragon Corps themselves proved to be an incredible feat that not even the major families could have achieved, much less any ordinary man! His impression of Leon changed entirely! "Marvelous Leon! He surprises us at every turn, and I truly wonder just how much he still has up his sleeve," Patrick and Damian were equally as delighted, grinning from ear to ear. Iris
"Fine! This ends here. We Hiltons and Golans will retreat now! Let's go, troops!" after a brief moment of contemplation, Devon finally decided to take the high road. After all, Leon could run, but he could not hide! Although Leon got lucky this time and managed to get away with three parties on his side, the Hiltons were certain that his luck would eventually run out! They would wait patiently until that day arrived, and then get rid of him once and for all! There was no need to act rashly at all—the perfect time would eventually come! "You want to run? Not so fast!" all of a sudden, Leon sneered. "Sirs, Seth, and Gordon acted under Joel's orders throughout all this, and so he's the mastermind behind all this! Please arrest him and give him the punishment he deserves!" he said solemnly. Since Joel remained impartial throughout all this, Leon previously mistakenly thought that he was not involved in Iris and Snow's kidnapping at all, but now, after Gordon's betrayal, he disc
