"Hiltons, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to declare war against us alongside the Southern Boss?" Arthur questioned darkly. "Elder Thompson, the Hiltons don't intend on being your enemies! However, Leon injured my grandson sometime ago, and I'm here to make Leon pay for that! As long as the Thompsons step aside and stop protecting Leon, the Hiltons won't hurt any member of the Thompsons! However, we won't show any mercy to those who stand in our way!" Devon threatened. Elegante Group became the biggest competitor of Hiltons Corporation, and the Hiltons attempted to kill Leon time and time again to either bring down the company. However, the Hiltons were still a respected house, so they could not simply commit murder and robbery on the surface, so Devon decided to attack Leon, using Joel's injury as an excuse. On top of that, the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region with great power and influence. Though the Hiltons and Spears outnumbered th
"What? Joel was involved in Yonas's murder as well?!" Arthur and Angus were stunned at the realization that Rodney and Joel were involved. It finally made sense that the Hiltons came to back the Southern Boss up as they likely already allied. Contrary to their surprise, Leon remained composed as he already guessed Joel's involvement in the matter when Devon and the Hiltons appeared, and his thought was merely confirmed. "Southern Boss!" Devon's expression darkened, knowing that the Southern Boss tried to drag the Hiltons into his fight with the Thompsons. He must admit that the Southern Boss's plan worked; since Arthur now knew that Joel was involved in Yonas's murder, he was bound to seek revenge against the Hiltons if he survived the confrontation with the Southern Boss and the Hiltons could not bear to risk that. "Very well! Southern Boss, Hilton, you two plotted to kill my grandson and I'll make you two pay for that!" Arthur was furious and glared at the two hatefully, de
"You'll find out who I am later!" Leon scoffed and ignored them to turn his attention to Arthur and the Thompsons. "Elder Thompson, I'll deal with this. You and the Thompsons need to stop the Southern Boss and the Hiltons. Leave the Four Apostles to me! Once I take care of the Four Apostles, I'll help you deal with the Southern Boss!" Leon decided. Since the Southern Boss was in the Advanced Almighty State, Leon did not have the power to confront him at the moment and only Arthur could do so. Since the Four Apostles were all in the Intermediate Almighty State, Leon was confident that he could take care of all four of them using the Mirror of Sovereign. The Four Apostles were the Southern Boss's strongest subordinates and the heads of the Spears, so the other Spears would not pose as a threat once the Four Apostles were out of the way. With the power the Thompsons held, Angus and the elders were more than capable of defeating the rest of the Spears and Hiltons. "What?" Art
"Running? Not so soon! Block their way. Don't let them get away!" The Southern Boss and Devon commanded. The Spears and Hiltons instantly surrounded Leon and the Thompsons, blocking all paths they could use to escape. "Damn it! Mister Wolf, the Thompsons will make a way for you. Hurry up and run!" Arthur's expression darkened and raised his arm to order an attack, only to be stopped by Leon. "It's fine, Elder Thompson! I don't intend to run, nor is there a need to! I stand by my words. You and the Thompsons need to keep the Southern Boss and the Hiltons in place while I deal with the Four Apostles! We will join forces and eliminate the Southern Boss and the Hiltons in one go!" Leon said. "Why you!" Arthur's expression darkened. He never anticipated for Leon to be so stubborn and insist on fighting the Southern Boss. If he acted according to Leon's plan, Leon himself and the Thompsons would all perish and no one would escape alive, so he could not allow Leon to act as he ple
"Brat, mind your tongue! Prepare to die!" The Fourth Apostle scoffed and charged toward Leon at the speed of lightning. "Bring it on!" Leon snorted. He stepped forward and extended his fist, sending his energy toward the Fourth Apostle. Seeing how the situation escalated, Leon already took the Dragon Pill when the Southern Boss first appeared. Under the Dragon Pill's effect, his power level reached the Semi-Almighty State and the power of the Mirror of Sovereign reached the Intermediate Almighty State as well. It was no exaggeration to say that the Fourth Apostle could not even break through Leon's defense, so Leon had no fear toward him. "You must have a death wish!" The Fourth Apostle narrowed his eyes dangerously. He did not know about all the cards in Leon's hand and assumed a young man like Leon would perish under his attack. Seeing how Leon refused to back away and instead faced his attack head-on, the Fourth Apostle decided to show no mercy and strengthened his
"Baam!" Following a gigantic noise, Leon's attack and the Fourth Apostle's attack collided. The Fourth Apostle's energy tore through Leon's spiritual energy and darted toward him. Leon did not waver and took the hit with his Mirror of Sovereign. At the same time, he launched a Double Attack, sending a wave of true energy in the Intermediate Overlord State toward the Fourth Apostle. "What?! How's this possible?!" The Fourth Apostle gasped in disbelief. He thought that Leon was too powerless to fend off his initial attack, yet not only did Leon succeed in doing so, he did not even budge. He could fantom how Leon managed such a thing and what shook him the most was that Leon managed to attack while he was still on the momentum of the first attack, which caught up off guard. Before he could react, Leon's Double Attack struck him in the chest and he was instantly sent flying. Once he landed on the ground, he puked blood and it was evident that he suffered internal injuries.
"Fourth Apostle, so you're the one who destroyed Yonas's internal circulation!" Leon said coldly. When he investigated Yonas's death as a Dragon Guard, he diagnosed that Yonas died from damage to his internal circulation and there was a trace of actual energy residue in Yonas's body, which was similar to the Fourth Apostle's. Leon instantly concluded that the Fourth Apostle was likely the one who killed Yonas. "What?!" Both Arthur and August were stunned. They both knew how Yonas died and instantly realized that the Fourth Apostle was involved in Yonas's death as well. However, they were so occupied by the thought of Yonas's death that they did not wonder how Leon knew about Yonas's cause of death; had the question popped up in their mind, they would have guessed that the Dragon Guard that visited them was Leon himself. Naturally, since the misunderstanding between the Thompsons and Leon was resolved, it would not have mattered even if they found out about it. "Damn it! F
"Great Apostle, huh? Don't bother coming up one by one! Why don't you all come at me at once? Don't waste my time!" Leon glanced at the Great Apostle contemptuously. "You are too arrogant, brat! I am more than capable of taking care of you on my own! Let me teach you the consequences of crossing the Spears!" The Great Apostle was once again enraged by Leon's attitude and charged toward him swiftly. "Know your place!" Leon scoffed and faced the Great Apostle's attack directly as he did earlier. "Die!" The Great Apostle narrowed his eyes darkly. Though Leon managed to defeat the Fourth Apostle, the Great Apostle assumed that the Fourth Apostle might have failed because he underestimated Leon, or because Leon had some sort of tricks up his sleeve. Since the Great Apostle was more powerful than the Fourth Apostle and was quite close to reaching the Advanced Almighty State, his power was almost unmatched by anyone in the Southern region with the expectation of the Southern Boss an
