"Don't bother trying to talk me out of it! I was so foolish with Yonas' death and I almost had the biggest mistake of my life! Angus, on the other hand, kept a leveled head and saw the truth right away! With his wisdom, he surely qualifies as the leader!" Arthur stated. "But," Angus muttered hesitantly. He wanted to talk Arthur out of it but was interrupted before he could say anything. "That's enough! Angus, Mister Wolf has taken down the Southern Boss and the Separs for us! This is the best time for you to take over!" Arthur said. Back when the Spears were still in power, they rivaled the Thompsons and given the Southern Boss's ambitious nature, Angus would be fit to lead the Thompsons. However, the Spears were taken apart and the Southern Boss was wanted by the Dragon Corps; without the Spears as a threat, Arthur felt that this was the perfect opportunity to name Angus the leader. "That may be true, but my power level is far too low and I'm not all that talented either. I'
"Mister Wolf, it's getting late. You were injured just now, so you should rest. The Thompsons will leave you alone for now," Arthur said to Leon. "Sure. Be careful on your way out," Leon said with a smile and watched as the Thompsons left. Angus and other members of the first bloodline left with them as well. Instantly, Leon, his subordinates, Iris, and the others were the only people left in the mansion. "Henry, Mason, why don't you all clean the place up? I need to rest," Leon ordered. He took the Dragon Pill to deal with the Southern Boss earlier and the effect was beginning to wear off; he would soon enter the recovery phase and needed to return to his room. With that, he left his subordinates behind to clean, while the women accompanied him back to his room. ... Somewhere in a deserted forest, Hades escaped here and barely managed to escape the Dragon Guards after rescuing the Southern Boss. "Great! We are finally free of those flies!" Hades scoffed and tossed th
"Hades, the Demon Lord was killed by Leon," The Southern Boss said, before explaining everything that happened earlier. "What?! He did?!" Hades was utterly stunned. He had a brief exchange with Leon when Leon sent poisonous daggers flying at him. Though he did not know the extent of Leon's power, he reached a conclusion that Leon was at the Almighty State based on the energy he sensed from the daggers. The Demon Lord was close to reaching the Peak Almighty State and it seemed impossible for someone like Leon to defeat him. Instantly, Hades was frozen in shock. "That brat had a really powerful Potential Energy Force that was at least in the Semi-Saint State. He used that to injure me and kill the Demon Lord," The Southern Boss explained. Upon recalling the fearful Potential Energy Force Leon wielded, he could not help but cower slightly in fear. "A Powerful Potential Energy Force in the Semi-Saint State? I see!" Hades' expression darkened. In terms of power level, afte
The Southern Boss nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that has to be the case! How lucky can he be to obtain a tressure in the Semi-Saint State?" He learned that Leon had a defensive tool in the Intermediate Almighty State from the battle earlier and that there was no limit to its usage. Tressures were scarce, especially the ones that contained great power, so the Southern Boss was displeased that Leon had a defensive tool in the Intermediate Almighty State and a tressure in the Semi-Saint State. "Forget about him! I need to ask you something. How did the Poisonwielder, Asmodeus, and the Scarlet Thief die?" Hades changed the subject. "I'm not sure, but I think Leon was the one who killed the Scarlet Thief," The Southern Boss explained thoughtfully. He did not know what happened with the Poisonwielder and Asmodeus, but the circumstances were different for the Scarlet Thief, who was ordered by the Southern Boss to assassinate Leon, only to die suddenly. The Southern Boss was baffled
"Please calm down, Hades! Though Leon's resourceful, he's far too young and is probably at the Initial Almighty State at best, so it'd take him at least a year to accumulate enough energy to force that Potential Energy Force. I gathered that the Potential Energy Force he wielded was probably the only one he had, or he wouldn't have let us go without attacking!" The Southern Boss said. He fought Leon many times and could tell that Leon was in the Initial Almighty State at best. Leon was far from reaching the Semi-Saint State, so it would require great energy and time to produce an attack at the level of the Semi-Saint State; with that in mind, he assumed that Leon only had one Potential Energy Force in his possession. "Hm, that might be true!" Hades was convinced, as he countered Leon's poisonous daggers and nearly killed Leon; if Leon truly possessed another Potential Energy Force, he could have used it right there and then to prevent the Southern Boss from escaping. "Hades, no
"But," Reluctant to give up, the Southern Boss tried to argue, only to be interrupted by Hades. "End of discussion! Tressures may be tempting, but my life matters most! If you want to manipulate me into retaliating against Leon on your behalf, you should just give up now!" Hades sneered. He was no fool and could tell the Southern Boss wanted to use him. The Scarlet Thief and the Demon Lord were used by the Southern Boss and both ended up killed by Leon. Considering what happened, Hades had no intention of repeating their mistakes. "Hades, I have no intention of using you. I'm telling the truth. I can assure you that Leon ran out of Potential Energy Forces and with his injuries now, this is the best time to take him out. If you miss this chance, he will recover and might even obtain another Potential Energy Force. If that happens, he'll be a great threat to you," The Southern Boss assured. He conflicted with Leon numerous times in the past and had a general understanding of th
Confused, the Southern Boss asked, "Why would we look for Brahma?" "The Demon Lord, the Scarlet Thief, and the others were all killed by Leon! I need to inform Brahma and get him to help take Leon out! If he is willing to help, that brat is doomed!" Hades said viciously. The eight criminals on the list were all killed except for Hades and Brahma, and it was unsettling to know that Leon was still alive. Brahma ranked first on the criminal list and reached the Semi-Saint State. On top of that, he possessed a powerful treasure at the Saint State; so long as Brahma was willing to act, they could easily eliminate Leon. Once Leon was taken out, Hades could pay Brahma to obtain the treasure Leon possessed without having to risk his own life-fighting Leon. "That's great! With Brahma's help, Leon's going to die!" The Southern Boss said in excitement. Through the earlier fight, he witnessed how resourceful Leon was and realized that Leon was far more challenging to deal with compared
"Southern Boss, are you done deciding? Are you coming to the central region with me, or are you staying here?" Hades asked, setting aside his plan to take Leon out. "Well," The Southern Boss muttered thoughtfully and decided. "Never mind. I'm heading to the western region! The Western Boss is a friend of mine and I will seek refuge with him. Once I get better, I'll go to the central region," the Southern Boss said. He was wanted for working with Hades and the Demon Lord, so Alfred and the Dragon Guards would not show him any mercy. Therefore, it would only be possible for him to remain in the southern region. However, he knew no one in the central region, so it seemed pointless to head there either. The Dragon Guards in the central region were far more powerful, including martial artists in the Peak Almighty State and even the Semi-Saint State. The Southern Boss was only at the Advanced Almighty State and was badly injured; if he ran into the Dragon Guards in the central region
