Once the three left, Arthur gritted out coldly, "Damn the Demon Lord! August, arrange our men to look around for the Demon Lords. Once we find something, report to me right away so we can join forces with the Dragon Corps to take the Demon Lord down!"After what Leon said, Arthur was misled into believing that the Demon Lord was responsible for Yonas's death.Though the Demon Lord was powerful and the Thompsons may not be able to face him alone, the Thompsons were still the head of all families in the southern region with countless connections.With the Thompsons' help to track the Demon Lord down, the Dragon Corps would have an easier time finding the Demon Lord; with the Thompsons and the Dragon Corps on the same side, they might be able to kill the Demon Lord and avenge Yonas."Dad, calm down for a second! There are still a lot of things that seem weird. The Demon Lord might not be the killer! We can't act recklessly," August said thoughtfully."Weird? What's weird?" Arthur ask
"Anyway, Angus and Leon already promised to find out about the truth in three days! Let's just wait! Besides, Mister Wolf said that the Dragon Corps will continue to investigate the matter. If the Demon Lord turns out to the be culprit, we will then join forces with the Dragon Corps!" August summarized."Yeah. You're right! Let's just wait!" Arthur nodded and accepted August's advice....Meanwhile, on Leon's end, he parted ways with Oliver and Abraham and drove home on his one.In the mansion in the Heavenly Waters Estate, Leon arrived home just in time for Iris, Cynthia, and the others to return from work as well; along with them were Angus and a dozen of martial artists from the Thompsons.Amongst the member, there were two elders and a few core members of the Thompsons.When Angus defended Leon, he was cast out of the family and had to leave with some of his supporters.He did not want the Thompsons to grow apart and always believed that Leon was wrongfully accused. Hence, h
"It's about time, Yuri! I sent you to look into Fiona's background. How did it go?" Angus asked hastily."Dad, this Fiona girl seems to be using an alibi so I can't find anything about her," Yuri shook his head.Though Angus was chased out of the family, the first bloodline of the Thompsons still held a certain level of power. However, despite exhausting all connections, they could not find anything about Fiona, which led to two possibilities: she was either using a fake name, or someone else with power hid all information about Fiona."What?" Angus was shocked and his heart sank at the update.Leon found out why Yonas died, and Fiona had no power to murder Yonas on her own, so both Angus and Leon already concluded that someone else was pulling the strings.At that moment, Fiona became the key suspect and witness to finding the truth.If he and Leon wanted to uncover the true culprit behind Yonas's murder, they had to rely on Fiona to expose the mastermind.Furthermore, since Ar
"What? The son of the Southern Boss, Rodney? So, it's him!"After hearing Yuri's account, Leon and Angus were taken aback."I get it! Fiona is most likely connected to Rodney. Mister Yonas must have fallen for Rodney's seductive scheme!" Leon suddenly realized, feeling a sense of clarity.He now investigated Yonas's cause of death and deduced that Fiona's involvement with Yonas was premeditated, intending to kill him and frame Leon. Meanwhile, Yonas saved Fiona from Rodney's clutches and established a romantic relationship.The coincidences lined up too perfectly, indicating that Rodney and Fiona staged this whole affair.Moreover, the Southern Boss and his son, Rodney, held deep grudges against Leon, even attempting to kill him multiple times, but each attempt failed.Burdened with false accusations and estranged from the Thompsons, Leon landed right where the Southern Boss and Rodney wanted him and they could easily eliminate Leon by manipulating Arthur and the other Thompsons.
"Mister Wolf, what should we do now?" Angus asked, appearing somewhat troubled.Both he and Leon already deduced that Rodney was likely the culprit behind Yonas' murder. However, it was not an easy task to gather evidence for what to do next."We need evidence to punish the culprit," Leon replied, contemplating for a moment. "Currently, Fiona is the key. Our immediate priority should be to find her as soon as possible. Once we locate her, everything can be resolved."Given that Fiona was the only person with knowledge of the crime scene and a witness, if they managed to apprehend her, Leon and Angus had the means to extract the truth from her.With Fiona's testimony, Leon's name would be cleared and Arthur could also retaliate against the Southern Boss and seek justice.It would be a win-win situation."Well, alright, I'll arrange for people to find Fiona!" Angus nodded. "I'll leave no stone unturned and find her!"Although Yuri was not able to uncover Fiona's identity and backg
"It's very simple. Since the Southern Boss and his son, Rodney, have violated community principles by viciously targeting Mister Yonas and deviously framing me. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to be polite to them," Leon declared, his eyes flashing with a glint of sharp killing intent.He had no idea who the killer was until now, and no matter how skilled he was, he had no way to act. He had deduced, however, that Rodney was the mastermind behind it all.If he couldn't find Fiona and clear his name, he'd confront Rodney.With his current invincible strength in Intermediate Almighty State, he may not be able to defeat the Southern Boss, but capturing Rodney would be simple.Rodney was the true murderer of Yonas, and once Leon captured him and thoroughly interrogated him, he would reveal the truth, proving Leon's innocence.If Rodney remained stubborn and refused to cooperate, Leon would simply kill him, bringing both the Southern Boss and the Spears down.To summariz
"But," Angus opened his mouth, intending to persuade Leon, but before he could utter a word, Leon interrupted him."Uncle Angus, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Anyway, let's first find a way to locate Fiona. If we can't find her within three days, we'll reassess the situation then," Leon reassured him with a smile.Thanks to Angus's intervention, Arthur already agreed to grant him a three-day grace period, during which he would not act rashly."Well, all right," Angus reluctantly agreed, "I'll immediately arrange for people to track Fiona's whereabouts and keep an eye on the Spears' movements. We must find Fiona within three days, no matter what," Angus said with a serious tone.Though he did not know much about Leon's extent of strength, given Leon's age, Angus doubted he could directly confront the Southern Boss.At the same time, he did not want Leon to jeopardize himself by recklessly confronting the Southern Boss out of momentary anger; if Leon killed Rodney, Leon would
Meanwhile, in the Spears Mansion, the Southern Boss was having a meeting with his inner circle when Rodney rushed inside."Rodney, welcome back! How did things go with Yonas Thompsons?" The Southern Boss asked.Yonas was the grandson of the leader of the Thompsons, and killing him was too big a decision to make, so Rodney informed his father and gained his approval ahead of time; however, the Southern Boss did not receive any update up until this moment."Dad, it's done! I saw with my own eyes that Arthur Thompsons gathered people to go after Leon before I came home, so if I'm not mistaken, Leon is going die this time," Rodney said with a smile."Excellent! Splendid!" Upon hearing this, the Southern Boss could not help but burst into hearty laughter.Thanks to Leon's inscrutable skills and the Thompsons' protection over him, despite multiple attempts to deal with Leon, they all failed.With Rodney and Joel's plotting against Yonas and framing Leon, it caused a bitter feud between
