"What!" The Western Boss was utterly stunned. There were no shortcuts to training as martial artists. To his surprise, Cynthion Group produced pills that could enhance martial artists' power and even get them past multiple barriers. This completely contradicted what he knew and he would never believed it if he did not hear this from his son. "I didn't expect these alchemical pills to work so well. I suppose I've underestimated them!" The Western Boss narrowed his eyes and gasped. With his experience, he could tell that the alchemical pills that could help martial artists past the bottleneck of their training had great potential. Whoever had control over the supply would control most of the martial artists. Instantly, he realized he underestimated Cynthion Group. "Felton, you just said that someone from Cynthion Group injured you. What happened?" The Southern Boss changed the subject, his expression cautious. He knew that Cynthion Group was based in the southern region and
"Yeah! Hugh is stronger than me and likely in the Advanced Emperor State!" Felton said. Based on Leon's speed and explosive power, he could tell that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State. Strangely, Leon displayed speed at the Semi-Almighty State when he was chasing Felton. It was already surreal that Leon managed to reach the Advanced Emperor State at such a young age, so Felton refused to believe that he would reach the Semi-Almighty State. He assumed that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State and only increased his speed with some sort of tricks, as this was the only possible explanation. "The Advanced Emperor State? I didn't expect someone to reach such a level amongst the younger generation from the southern region. And he is just a vice president. It seems like there is a lot more to Cynthion Group," the Western Boss said. The western region was abundant with rare herbs that could help martial artists with their training. With the aid of these herbs, the younger mart
"What?" "Hugh is Leon?" Both the Western Boss and Felton were shocked. "Yeah! I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure about this!" The Southern Boss nodded. He knew that only Leon surpassed the Advanced Emperor State amongst the younger martial artists in the southern region. Leon was the only one who had the power to defeat Felton, who was in the Intermediate Emperor State. Hence, he had to be using Hugh as a fake name. Still, this was just a speculation and he could not be certain when he did not meet Hugh in person. "I see!" Realization dawned on Felton. He was baffled that a mere vice president could pay over 200 million on herbs without hesitation. If Hugh was Leon, it would all make sense. Considering Cynthion Group's influence, it would not be hard for Leon to pull out such a large amount of money. On top of that, there were plenty of alchemical pills in Cynthion Group, with some even capable of getting martial artists past multiple barriers of their traini
"Southern Boss, what's wrong with you? Leon is just in the Advanced Emperor State, so why are you so scared of him?" The Western Boss was shocked. He knew that the Southern Boss had long reached the Advanced Almighty State and his strength was almost unrivalled in the western and southern regions. Leon, on the other hand, was merely in the Advanced Emperor State according to Felton, which was miles away from the power level the Southern Boss was in. The Southern Boss was once a powerful figure, yet appeared to fear Leon and this baffled the Western Boss. "Just? Western Boss, you are underestimating Leon. He may only be in the Advanced Emperor State, he has many tricks up his sleeves and he is far more formidable than you imagine. No one can defeat him..." the Southern Boss said in fear. All the tricks Leon pulled when he fought the Southern Boss had deeply traumatized the Southern Boss and he could not help feeling scared even just from recalling what happened. "He is just
"Western Boss, that kid is formidable. If you run into him, I would advise caution..." the Southern Boss decided to hint, instead of describing Leon's strength in the end. "Ha! I've seen what he could do. He is just quite swift. That's not a big deal!" Felton said. He witnessed how Leon's speed could increase to the level of the Semi-Almighty State within the matter of seconds, and he assumed this was what the Southern Boss was referring to. However, Leon was merely in the Advanced Emperor State and there was no point for him to increase his speed. There were countless martial artists in the Semi-Almighty and Almighty States amongst the Fermers. Anyone could easily destroy Leon and Leon's tricks should not matter much. Hence, Felton did not see Leon as a threat. "Felton is right! Leon is just a boy and not a threat. Southern Boss, you are worrying over nothing!" The Western Boss did not take the Southern Boss's warning seriously as well. "Maybe..." The Southern Boss shook
"That's a good idea! Felton, that's a great plan!" The Western Boss slammed his palms against the table in excitement. He could tell the value that lied within the Cynthion Group and if the Fermers could obtain it, it would be easy for them to rule over the western region. This had been his dream for years. If that was the price, ruining his reputation for getting involved in a fight between youngsters seemed to be a small price to pay. "..." A strange look appeared on the Southern Boss and he opened his mouth hesitantly. In the past, he thought of the same thing as them and tried to take over Cynthion Group. In the end, he failed and even caused the downfall of his family in the process. The Western Boss and Felton were clearly repeating his mistake. However, he hesitated for a moment and chose not to stop them. He came to the western region to gain the Western Boss's support in fighting Leon and the Tompsons. Since they started plotting to take over Cynthion Group and mak
"One in the Almighty State and another two in the Semi-Almighty State? What good will that do?" The Southern Boss sneered. He knew Leon's true power and even if the Western Boss challenged him to a fight, he might not be able to defeat Leon, not to mention sending three martial artists in those levels. There was no way that they could capture Leon. However, he did not warn or stop the Western Boss or inform him about Leon's strength. Once the Western Boss learned about Leon's terrifying strength, he might give up on targeting Leon or the Cynthion Group. This would go against his interest. He planned on letting the Western Boss fail and once he came to resent Leon, there would be no way for him to stop. Once that happened, he could work with the Western Boss and the Feaks to eliminate Leon. "Felton, it's getting late! You are injured, so go back to your room to rest. We will revisit this tomorrow!" The Western Boss did not notice the strange look on the Southern Boss's face
"Dad, I wanted to purchase the Rainbow Flower for you, but Leon was interested in it as well and offered 650 million for it. We have to beat him to it. We can't let him have it," Felton added, before proceeding to explain what happened. "Hm... Alright! I will go to the Feaks tomorrow and speak to Elder Feaks! I'm sure he knows what's the wise choice here!" the Western Boss said confidently. The Rainbow Flower could enhance his power and there was a big chance that he could even get to the Peak Almighty State with it. Hence, he was determined to obtain it. Though Leon clearly had the money and was willing to pay for the Rainbow Flower, he was merely an outsider and had no power in the western region. So long as the Western Boss exerted pressure directly on the Feaks, they would surely sell him the Rainbow Flower and he was not at all concerned about it. "Yeah, I think so too." Felton nodded. "I hope so..." Watching the confident looks on their faces, the Southern Boss narr
