"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
"Damn it!" The Southern Boss's expression darkened. Knowing that his strength did not rival Arthur's, he wanted to back away but was then reminded that Rodney was standing behind him. If the Southern Boss moved away, Arthur's attack would land on Rodney and Rodney might very well be killed on the spot; naturally, the Southern Boss would only stand his ground. "Sir, allow me to help you!" The Great Apostle noticed the Southern Boss's predicament and hurried over to his side, before launching a powerful attack toward Arthur. "Take this, old man!" The Southern Boss took the opportunity to launch an attack of his own at Arthur as well. "Baam!" Following a gigantic noise, the combined attack launched by the Southern Boss and Great Apostle clashed with Arthur's power. Though Arthur was extremely powerful, the Southern Boss and Great Apostle were not to be underestimated. Southern Boss was only slightly weaker than Arthur, and the Great Apostle long reached the Intermediate Al
"Elder Thompsons, you said that Rodney was the one who killed Yonas! Did you and Leon see that happen, or do you have some kind of evidence? Do not make any false accusation when you don't have anything to support your claim!" The Southern Boss said coldly. "So what if we don't have any evidence? Rodney admitted to it! Why would we need evidence?" Arthur said in a sinister tone. "Of course, you need evidence! Rodney merely fell into Leon's trap and said the wrong thing! That doesn't mean anything! Leon is the one who killed Yonas and he only set Rodney up to frame Rodney for his crime! Don't fall for it!" The Southern Boss said. He knew that Rodney did not leave any trace behind when he killed Yonas, so he refused to take the blame without putting up a fight since the Thompsons had no proof of anything. "Why you!" Arthur was furious as he never saw someone so shameless in his life, who would refuse to admit his own e to this extent. "You mustn't vent your anger on innocent pe
"You? What a joke! Southern Boss, the Spears can hardly put up a fight against us Thompsons!" Arthur scoffed, not taking the Southern Boss’s threat seriously. The Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region, yet the Southern Boss arrogantly claimed that he would eliminate the Thompsons and Leon. Arthur could not figure out what gave the Southern Boss the confidence to make such a threat. Just then, the situation changed drastically when a voice echoed in the air, saying, "You are right, Elder Thompson! The Southern Boss and Spears alone might not be able to do much to the Thompsons, but that might not be the case if they join forces with us Hiltons!" Followed by the voice was the appearance of Devon, Joel, and the other Hiltons from the outside, ambushing the Thompsons' first bloodline from behind. "Devon Hiltons?!" Arthur was shaken by the Hiltons' sudden appearance. Though he did not know that the Hiltons joined forces with the Southern Boss, he knew t
