"Southern Boss, I've received another piece of information that says the Dragon Corps in the southern region has sought help from the Dragon Guards in the eastern region. A team has been sent to the southern region this morning and it was led by Zack with the sole purpose of hunting the Scarlet Thief down. I think the Dragon Guards from the two regions are now celebrating their success," The man continued.The Southern Boss was one of the rulers of the southern region with extensive connections all over the area.Alfred somehow managed to keep the operation a secret, but since the Dragon Guards from the eastern region arrived and a feast was arranged for the people from the eastern region, it was only a matter of time for the people who worked for the Southern Boss to learn about it.Hence, the young man from the Spears caught the news that the Scarlet Thief was killed and that Alfred was having a feast with Zack and others."What?" The Southern Boss and the others were stunned.N
"Oh, no! Leon, that little bastard is so difficult to dispatch!" Furious, the Southern Boss slammed his fist against the chair's armrest, shattering it into pieces.Since the formation of the Cynthion Group in the southern region, he has sent his men to assassinate Leon on numerous occasions in order to obtain the company, only to fail each time.He couldn't figure out what went wrong for an influential man like himself to lose to a young man like Leon.'Is he simply unlucky?' He pondered."Calm down, Southern Boss! Since the Scarlet Thief is no longer alive, I believe we should send Fourth Apostle and a large group of martial artists against Leon. He may have escaped death twice, but I doubt he will be so lucky again!" The Grand Apostle stated.He once proposed sending Fourth Apostle against Leon, but the Southern Boss preferred to use the Scarlet Thief to eliminate Leon and rejected his suggestion. The Southern Boss' plan, however, was thwarted because the Scarlet Thief had alre
"I just caught words that Roanne Thompson moved in with Leon last night," Rodney explained.He knew that the Scarlet Thief was sent to assassinate Leon earlier that morning, and like the others, he was certain that Leon would die.Once Leon was out of the picture, the Southern Boss would capture Iris and Cynthia and obtain Cynthion Group through them.Since Leon was close with the Thompsons, Rodney was worried that the Thompsons would try to protect Iris and the Cynthion Group, so he sent the second Guardian to spy on the Thompsons in the hope of updating the Southern Boss on any movement the Thompsons made.Unfortunately, the Southern Boss's plan fell apart.Not only had the Scarlet Thief failed to kill Leon, but he also ended up killed by the Dragon Corp and wasted the Southern Boss's effort in scheming everything.Rodney happened upon the news that Roanne moved in with Leon, Iris, and the others. Realizing that this was important, he immediately hurried home to report his late
"Rodney, don't worry! Once Fourth Apostle gets rid of Leon, I'll get them to capture all his women to be your playthings! You can do whatever you want with them!" The Southern Boss narrowed his eyes coldly."Southern Boss, we mustn't! The Thompsons have arranged for Roanne to live with Leon. They are trying to protect Leon, Iris, and the others! If we launch an attack toward them and accidentally harm Roanne in the process, the Thompsons will use that as an excuse to start a war with us! That won't do us any good!" Grand Apostle said."But," The Southern Boss was instantly rendered speechless as he realized that Roanne moved in with Leon to prevent him from attacking Leon in secret.The Spears and the Thompsons were always rivals, but since the Thompsons valued their reputation, they never tried to attack the Spears from the dark. However, if the Southern Boss attacked Leon or capture the women, the Thompsons would use that as an excuse to attack the Spears to weaken their influence
Meanwhile, in the Hiltons Mansion, the Southern Boss arrived with Grand Apostle and the Head Guardian to meet with Devon in the living room.Joel was seen next to Devon and after a brief exchange of pleasantry, they each took their seats."Southern Boss, what brought you here?" Devon asked."Elder Hilton, I thought through your proposal about allying a few days ago! Leon's far too capable and has the Thompsons to back him up, so the Spears can't get rid of him on their own! I've come to join forces with the Hiltons to go up against Leon and the Thompsons," The Southern Boss explained."The Thompsons, too? Southern Boss, our common enemy is Leon. All we need to do is take him down! There's no point in getting the Thompsons involved!" Devon said.Though he invited the Southern Boss to ally with the Hiltons, Devon's main purpose was to get rid of Leon.The Thompsons were extremely influential as the head of all families, so there seemed to be no reason at all for them to target the
"Well," Devon's expression darkened and he instantly fell into silence.Elegante Group became a threat to the Hiltons Corporation and out of consideration for the family's benefit, the Hiltons desperately needed to get rid of Leon and Elegante Group as soon as possible.Since the Thompsons invested in the Elegante Group, they would not stand idly by if the Hiltons attacked Leon, so Devon knew that it was a good thing to have the Southern Boss's help.However, since the tables turned and the Southern Boss was the one who brought up the alliance, Devon decided to act hesitant for more gain."Don't worry, Elder Hilton! If you agree to the alliance, I can offer you thirty percent of the profit made by Cynthion Group once I obtain the company!" The Southern Boss saw right through Devon's act and promised.The Southern Boss refused to ally with the Hiltons mainly because he wanted Cynthion all to himself. However, he failed in multiple attempts to kill Leon, and with the Thompsons in th
"That's a great idea! Joel, you are extremely sharp for your age. You're bound to have a bright future awaiting you ahead!" The Southern Boss praised.Though his plan of spreading rumors could pressure the Thompsons, the Thompsons might notice that it was a plot and might not fall for it.Joel's plan of using Yonas to divide the Thompsons internally was the perfect plan.If the first and second bloodline of the Thompsons began fighting amongst themselves, the family would be torn apart and the alliance between the Hiltons and Spears would benefit greatly from it.Devon, too, turned to look at Joel with approval in his eyes."You're too kind, Southern Boss," Joel smiled modestly, feeling smug that he was praised by the Southern Boss."Elder Hilton, that settles it! I'll get my men to start spreading the rumors about Roanne later! We shall leave dividing the Thompsons to Joel and my son, Rodney. I'll tell Rodney to work with Joel. With both plans in place, we should be able to weak
"Uncle Arthur? Why are you here?" Angus and Roanne were both slightly surprised to see them here and went over to greet Arthur."Well, I'm here to ask you about the Sun Pills," Arthur said hesitantly.Ever since Yonas found out that the Sun Pills could enhance martial artists' power, he was determined to obtain one and even went as far as to argue with his uncle over it.He dragged Arthur over in the hope of obtaining a Sun Pill from Angus as soon as possible.Yonas was worried that Angus would keep all the Sun Pills to himself and knew that Angus would not be able to do so if Arthur interfered.Arthur was always a just leader and was not as narrow-minded as Yonas, nor did he think that Angus would selfishly keep all the Sun Pills to himself.However, since the Sun Pills could guarantee martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State to ascend to the Initial Almighty State, Arthur was also eager to obtain the Sun Pills and agreed to come with Yonas to ask Angus for updates."Uncle Ar
