"Hang on!" Seeing how the Southern Boss intended to harm Leon, Angus stepped forward and stood before Leon. "Angus Thompson, what's the meaning of this? Do you want to protect Leon and fight me?" The Southern Boss narrowed his eyes maliciously. He already planned to get rid of Angus and Yuri, so the fact that Angus stepped forward played in his favor. His action came to a sudden halt and he did not jump into action. "So what if that's what I'm doing? Mister Wolf is a friend of the Thompsons and he has helped us multiple times in the past! You'll have to step over my dead body if you wish to hurt him!" Angus declared with determination. "You? What a joke! If it were in the past, with Arthur around, I might have some reservations about the Thompsons. Since the first and second bloodlines of the Thompsons have parted ways, who are you to stop me from doing what I want?" The Southern Boss sneered and glanced at Angus in contempt. Amongst all the martial artists in the southern
"Angus, out of consideration for the Thompsons, I'll give you one final chance! If you know what's best for yourself, you will get out of the way and I will spare you. However, if you insist on getting involved and siding with Leon, I won't show you any mercy! If you somehow get injured by accident, I won't be held responsible for that!" The Southern Boss narrowed his eyes maliciously. Though he planned to kill Angus all along, Angus was still an important figure of the Thompsons and the nephew of Arthur. Knowing that the Thompsons might retaliate if he harmed Angus, the Southern Boss made a point to warn Angus ahead of time. If Angus still chose to interfere, Arthur and the Thompsons would not have any reasons to seek revenge. "Don't bother trying to scare me off! I repeat, you'll have to step over my dead body to harm Leon!" Angus said as he stubbornly refused to leave. He raised his hand and decisively gave the order to the Spears members, "Listen up, members of the Spears,
"Southern Boss, I can hand over Cynthion Group, but I have a question for you and Rodney!" Leon said casually and narrowed his eyes sharply. "What is it?" The Southern Boss raised his eyebrow, seemingly interested in Leon's offering. His true intention in attacking Leon was always to take over Cynthion Group, so he was more than willing to answer questions if it meant that Leon would hand over the company along with all the recipes. "It's simple. I want to ask Rodney how he managed to kill Mister Yonas! Who was it that destroyed Mister Yonas' internal circulation?" Leon kept his eyes on Rodney intently; his sharp gaze piercing like a blade. "What? I didn't kill Yonas! I don't know what you are talking about!" Stunned, Rodney instantly started panicking. He assumed that he planned everything perfectly and did not leave any trace behind, so no one would know that he was responsible for Yonas's death apart from the Fourth Apostle, Fiona, and Joel, who were involved. However, n
"Southern Boss, Rodney, how dare you two plot to kill Yonas?! The Thompsons won't let this go!" Angus glared daggers at them. "Is that so? Let's see what you can do about it!" The Southern Boss's heart sank and his expression darkened. Since Rodney left no trace behind, both Arthur and August thought that Leon was responsible and the situation worked in the Spears' favor. To the Southern Boss's surprise, Rodney accidentally let it slip that he killed Yonas. "Dad, what should we do now?" Rodney's face was flushed with frustration, realizing that he might have ruined his father's plan. "It's fine. So what if they found out? This lot can't do much about it!" The Southern Boss scoffed. He planned to kill Angus and Leon all along and the fact that Rodney was responsible for Yonas's death was discovered merely strengthened his resolve to kill the two.Once every single witness at the scene was removed, the truth would never get out. Upon observing the martial artists on Leon's si
"However, none of your talent matters in the face of absolute power! Countless heroes rose in their youth only to perish! The same goes for you! You'll die today!" The Southern Boss declared. "And are you going to kill me? What a joke!" Leon scoffed. He was fully prepared to face the Southern Boss and was determined to prevent the Southern Boss from having his way. "How stubborn! If you're in such a hurry to die, I'll send you to hell myself! Attack!" Enraged by Leon's insolence, the Southern Boss finally lost all patience and ordered his subordinates to attack. Following the Southern Boss's order, the Spears all launched into action and darted toward Leon. "Stop them!" Angus reacted immediately and stopped the Spears alongside the other Thompsons. "Baam! Baam! Baam!" A battle erupted and though Angus and the Thompsons were outnumbered, all the Thompson members present were powerful, being in the Semi-Almighty and Almighty States; the Grand and Fourth elder were both in t
"What?!" Angus and the others were stunned. They all hoped that Leon would escape, so that they could retreat, but to their bewilderment, Leon refused to run and claimed that he would kill the Southern Boss. Everyone at the scene was shaken to their core. "How insolent! Let's see if your strength matches your arrogance! Die!" Enraged by Leon's speech, the Southern Boss laughed and leaped into the air, before darting toward Leon, preparing to crush Leon with a single move. "It's over!" Angus's and the Thompsons' hearts sank. They all knew that the Southern Boss was in the Advanced Almighty State, and even Arthur was slightly more powerful than the Southern Boss; if even Arthur would struggle to kill the Southern Boss, Leon would be powerless. None of them thought that Leon had what it took to defend himself from the Southern Boss's attack, let alone kill the Southern Boss. They did not know what made Leon provoke the Southern Boss into attacking him, and they all thought t
"Great!" Contrary to the Southern Boss's frustration, Angus and the other Thompsons were overjoyed and beamed. Angus knew that Arthur and August mistook Leon for the murderer of Yonas and they might not come to Leon's rescue, so he dared not to get his hope up. To his pleasant surprise, Arthur was understanding and kind enough to bring his men over to Leon's rescue. With the help of Arthur and the second bloodline, all the Thompsons' spirits were instantly uplifted as they now stood a chance of winning. The Spears, on the other hand, realized that they lost their advantage of strength and number, and even found themselves surrounded by the Thompsons' first and second bloodlines in two directions. To avoid being ambushed, they immediately retreated and gathered around the Southern Boss, causing the confrontation to come to a temporary pause. "Elder Thompson, why are you helping Leon?" The Southern Boss glared at Arthur with displeasure. Leon was being framed for killing Yo
"Even if we Spears do whatever we want, it has nothing to with the Thompsons' second bloodline! Elder Thompson, if I'm not mistaken, Leon is the person who killed Yonas, and this has already been proven. It's bad enough that you haven't avenged your grandson, and now you are helping his killer? Yonas's soul will never be at peace!" The Southern Boss laughed. "I-" Arthur was momentarily at a loss for words. He only agreed to help Leon out of concern for the bigger picture, knowing very well that Yonas might not rest in peace if Leon was truly the person who killed him. "Uncle, don't listen to the Southern Boss! Rodney was the one who killed Yonas! He already admitted to it!" Angus yelled, before explaining the earlier exchange briefly. "What?! Really?" Both Arthur and August were stunned. Though Yuri already explained ahead of time that Rodney might be the person who killed Yonas, Arthur did not dare to believe him completely since there was no evidence proving his claim. Ho
