Just then, hurried footsteps sounded and the Fourth Apostle stormed in with a dark look on his face."Welcome back, Fourth Apostle! What happened with Leon and the Thompsons? Has Arthur killed Leon already?" Rodney rushed over and asked.He arranged for the Fourth Apostle to spy on the Thompsons and since the Fourth Apostle was back, Rodney assumed that his plan succeeded and Leon died at the hands of Arthur.Apart from Rodney, everyone else in the room believed so as well and turned to look at the Fourth Apostle for confirmation."Sir, Leon's still alive!" The Fourth Apostle shook his head."What?" "Leon isn't dead?""How, ho's that possible!"The news shocked everyone in the room and the Southern Boss stood abruptly, his smile fading. "Fourth Apostle, what is going on? Leon 'killed' Yonas, why didn't Arthur kill him and avenge Yonas?!" The Southern Boss asked with a chilling tone, his expression dark.Just moments ago, he and Rodney believed that Leon was undoubtedly dead thi
"That might be right, but Leon is no fool! If he can't find anything to prove his innocence, he might flee the region instead of waiting to be killed here!" Rodney said gloomily. He agreed with the Fourth Apostle that thought that his plan was perfect. Leon did not know who the true killer was and finding any evidence that could lead to the truth seemed impossible, so Rodney was not worried about Leon finding out about the truth; his true concern was that Leon might disappear if he failed to find anything to prove his innocence.Should that happen, the Southern Boss would not be able to eliminate Leon and their plan to take over Cynthion Group would fail as well. "Um," The Fourth Apostle fell into silence. He knew that Rodney had a point. Leon was never the one responsible for the murder of Yonas. If Leon could not uncover the truth of the matter, he would not stay around to face his death. There was no way he would willingly take the blame and sacrifice his life for it.
Before the Southern Boss finished speaking, Rodney was taken aback as he immediately realized the Southern Boss's intentions. "Dad, are you planning to take advantage of the opportunity to target the only legitimate heir of the Thompsons?" "Well, you're right! The legitimate heir of the second bloodline of the Thompsons, Yonas, is already dead. If Yuri, the legitimate heir of the first bloodline, dies as well, then the Thompsons will have no successors and will inevitably fall. We can easily overthrow the Thompsons and dominate the entire Southern region," The Southern Boss's expression was cold, his eyes filled with chilling malicious intent. Yonas and Yuri were the only legitimate heirs to their family and with Yonas dead, the Southern Boss decided to take action against Yuri, harboring intentions to eliminate him as well. Once Yuri is dead, the third-generation descendants of the Thompsons will be left without a successor. The remaining collateral descendants would surely enga
"The thing is," began the Southern Boss, his tone measured. "Arthur and August have now firmly concluded that Leon is the one responsible for plotting Yonas's demise. In three days, they will undoubtedly kill Leon to avenge Yonas. My suggestion is to wait those three days and let them tear each other apart. Wouldn't that be better?" The Grand Apostle hesitated, his face showing doubt. The Southern Boss shook his head. "I won't wait any longer! Leon is no fool and if he senses danger, he might very well escape from the Southern region. I can't let him get away." He did not want to wait three days, mainly because he feared Leon would flee in fear. Moreover, the true culprit behind Yonas's murder was Rodney, not Leon. Although Rodney's plan to frame Leon was flawless and left no clues, nothing in this world was absolute. If Leon were to discover even the slightest trace of evidence during these three days, it would be detrimental to Rodney and the Spears. In that case, it was be
"Uncle Angus, do you know how many people the Southern Boss has sent this time?" Leon regained his composure and quickly inquired.His overall strength reached the invincible level of Intermediate Almighty State, and even if the Southern Boss sent a few martial artists in the equal state, Leon was confident that he could handle it. "According to the information passed on by the fourth elder, the Southern Boss personally took action this time, and his entire force of skilled fighters from the Spears, including the Four Apostles and the Six Guardians, are on the move as well. They practically emptied their nest," Angus answered with a worried expression. "Emptied their nest? It seems that the Southern Boss is prepared to engage me in a battle to the death and leave me no way out!" Leon took a sharp breath, his expression darkening at the realization of how grim the situation was. He already deduced that Rodney was the true culprit behind Yonas's death. Now, not only did the Sout
"Well," Upon hearing Leon's rejection of the idea, Iris, Angus, and the others fell silent.Angus knew that Arthur and August still considered Leon the culprit behind Yonas's murder, and Leon was not able to completely clear his name yet. If Leon were to leave the Southern region now, not only would he abandon the foundations of Cynthion Group and Elegante Group, but he would also have no way to explain himself to Arthur and August afterward. "Leon, even if you don't want to leave the Southern region, at least find a place to hide for now. That's much better than staying here and getting yourself killed for no reason. If something were to happen to you, how are Cynthia and I supposed to live?" Iris clutched Leon's arm, her eyes reddening as she was on the verge of tears. She knew very well that if Leon were to face the Southern Boss head-on, he would undoubtedly meet his demise; whereas if Leon found a place to hide, he might just have a chance to escape this catastrophe. "Iris
"Uncle Angus, I've thought this through. Don’t worry about me. Please have faith in me and know that I'm going to be just fine," Leon consoled the others when he spotted the worried looks on their faces. "But," Seeing how Leon made up his mind, Angus and Yuri could only remain silent. Leon then turned his attention to Iris, Cynthia, and the others. "Iris, I plan to go up against the Southern Boss, and it can be quite dangerous. You need to take Cynthia and the others and hide with the Scammells for now," He said seriously. Since arriving in the Southern Region, after spending such a long time together, he already regarded Cynthia, Snow, and Ruth as family. With Iris added to the mix, these four women became his greatest vulnerability. Although he possessed numerous trump cards and had no fear of the Southern Boss, he knew that the father-son duo of the Southern Boss and Rodney were treacherous and unscrupulous in their actions, willing to resort to any means to achieve their go
"Fine. If you won't leave, then stay! But be careful and stand back later to avoid getting into a fight," Leon reminded them thoughtfully. "Sure." Iris, Cynthia, and the others nodded. They knew that they held little to no power and could not be of help, so they planned to stay alert and avoid getting in Leon's way. "Dad, what should we do now? The Southern Boss and Rodney framed Leon and even want to kill him now. This is far too much! You have to find a way to help him. We can't just watch as he, Iris, and the others die," Roanne said worriedly, turning to Angus for help. Angus sighed. "I understand, and I want to help him too, but our family is now divided, and your Grandpa Arthur won't be able to help him resist the Southern Boss, and that's the precise reason why the Southern Boss dares to make a move." He knew very well that if it were in the past and the Thompsons fully supported Leon, the Southern Boss would have no power over Leon. However, with both Arthur and Aug
