Meanwhile, the Dragon Guards were tracking the Southern Boss down for allying with the Demon Lord and Hades. On top of that, the Thompsons were still determined to avenge Yonas's death, so the Southern Boss would not return to the southern region so long as he did not fully recover. At this time, it would be much safer for the women to remain in the southern region. "But," Iris and the others fell into silence when they learned that the Southern Boss was likely in the western region. Instantly, they all realized why Leon was insistent on going alone. They were hardly powerful enough and if they followed him to the western region, they would only slow him down and Leon would struggle to protect them all by himself. "Iris, just wait for my updates here in the southern region for now! I'll try to track the Southern Boss this time to see if I can fish him out. If I can find him, I'll get rid of him for good!" Leon said. He was in the invincible Intermediate Almighty State the
Suddenly, Leon was reminded of something and handed the Cuff of Doom to Iris. "Iris, this is an Almighty Weapon that wields power in the Intermediate Almighty State! Keep this to protect yourself." Ever since he reached the Intermediate Almighty State, he did not use the Cuff of Doom again. Still, it was a valuable treasure that should not go to waste, so he would continue to offer his energy to it. After accumulating his energy for a while, he stored three attacks in the Cuff of Doom in the Intermediate Almighty State. Since he was heading to the western region by himself, he left the Cuff of Doom with Iris to ensure their safety. The women's overall power was formidable, especially for Ruth, who reached the Intermediate Almighty State. That made her one of the best martial artists in the younger generation. With the protection of the Cuff of Doom and the martial artists from the Thompsons, no one would dare to harm them. This was the only way that he could leave feeling a
Menawhile, outside the gates of the Morrisons' Mansion, it was in the afternoon. Hugo waited outside the gate with two bodyguards for Leon's arrival. Next to him was an extremely beautiful young woman in her mid-twenties. She was none other than Hugo's younger sister, Renee Morrison. When Hugo went to Cynthion Group's sales drive, he returned with three Supreme Pure Energy Pills, two hundred Energy Nurturing Pills, and an agreement of collaboration with Leon. He reported his accomplishment to his grandfather, Caleb Morrison, as soon as he returned. At first, Caleb and the other elders did not think much of the collaboration, but after witnessing the power of the alchemical pills, they instantly realized the potential of this business partnership. They were all impressed by Hugo's decision and all praised Leon for being a young, accomplished entrepreneur. Renee was raised to be proud and was curious when Caleb and the others constantly praised Leon, especially when Hugo ha
"Oh, Mister Wolf, allow me to introduce my sister, Renee. Renee, this is-" Before Hugo could complete his sentence, Leon cut him off. "The eldest daughter of the Morrisons. I see! What a pleasure. I'm the vice-president of Cynthion Group, Hugh Wolf," Leon said and shot a knowing look at Hugo. He came alone to the western region to make alchemical pills and prepare for setting up branches, but also because he wanted to try and search for the Southern Boss. The Southern Boss was cunning by nature and if he found out Leon was here, he would be on high alert, making it hard for him to locate him. In the worst-case scenario, he might even take the risk to return to the southern region to harm Iris and the others, in an attempt to blackmail him and the Thompsons into releasing Rodney. In that case, Iris and the others would be in danger. Considering everyone's safety, it was best for Leon not to reveal his true identity so that the Southern Boss would not be alarmed. Hence, he cl
"How dare he? Leon made an appointment with my brother and he just bailed? What does he take us for?" Renee snapped out of it and said angrily. She was already running out of patience when she was waiting alongside Hugo. To make matters worse, she waited for nothing. Leon did not come and instead, sent a vice-president over, which felt like a direct insult to the Morrisons and her brother. Naturally, she was not going to show him any respect either. "Miss Morrison, please calm down! Our chairman has something important to attend to, so he didn't mean to be absent. Allow me to apologize in his place." Leon smiled, feeling slightly wronged. He assumed that Hugo would welcome him alone and all he needed to do was explain his stance to prevent Hugo from exposing his true identity. To his bewilderment, Hugo came with Renee, which caught Leon by surprise. Still, he could not tell Renee his true identity and instantly, he felt like he was stuck and could only put up with her attit
On their way to the main hall, Hugo let Renee lead the path on purpose and slowly retreated to Leon's side. "Mister Wolf, what's going on? Why are you hiding your true identity?" He whispered. "Oh, there's something else that I intend to do here, and that means I need to keep my true identity hidden. Mister Morrison, I want you to help me out and not tell anyone who I truly am," Leon explained. The situation with the Southern Boss was far too complicated for him to explain to Hugo, so he decided to brief through it in a few words. "Oh, I see. Don't worry. I'll keep my mouth shut." Hugo nodded. Though he did not know what Leon was up to, he did not pry into Leon's privacy. After all, Leon represented the Cynthion Group on this trip to the western region to work with the Morrisons. It did not matter if Leon was using his true identity or introducing himself as the vice president of the company. Since Leon did not want his true identity to be known, Hugo saw no issue with keep
"I see," Caleb and the others were visibly disappointed. Though Hugh was here to discuss the collaboration between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, the purpose of this visit would be fulfilled regardless. However, Hugh was merely a vice-president and his status could hardly hold a candle to Leon's. The Morrisons gathered everyone who held power in the family to await Leon's arrival, yet Leon simply sent one of his subordinates over. This felt like Leon was disrespecting them, so they were all displeased. "How arrogant! We all gathered here to welcome him upon knowing that he is coming, yet he dares to look down on us! He lacks sincerity!" A man in his fifties stood beside Calbe and said angrily. He was Hugo's uncle, the leader of the second generation of the Morrisons, Jayden. The Morrisons were slightly different from the Thompsons. There was only a single bloodline that stemmed from Caleb. However, Caleb had two sons, with one being Hugo's father and the other being Ja
"Well," Leon frowned. Though Renee was upset over this as well, all she did was throw a small temper tantrum and did not insult him. However, Jayden and Georgie were different. They acted like they were above everyone and their words were aggressive, making it clear that they looked down on Cynthion Group. Still, considering that he was partly to blame for this conflict, Leon did not say anything. As the situation escalated, Hugo chimed in hurriedly, "Uncle, please calm down for now. You may not know this, but Mister Hugh here is Mister Leon's close relative. Mister Leon's caught up with something urgent and has his reasons for not coming. He didn't mean to disrespect us." Due to what Leon said earlier, he could not reveal Leon's true identity. Hence, he could only hint that Hugh was Leon's close relative in the hope that Jayden and Georgie would hold their tongue. Otherwise, if they accidentally offended Leon, the Morrisons would suffer a loss when Leon decided to terminat
