Jaxon coughed and slowly regained consciousness. "Jaxon, are you okay?" The Feaks were all shocked and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They all thought that Jaxon was killed by Leon. To their surprise, Leon was telling the truth and he cured Jaxon. This was a miracle and they would never believe this to be true if they did not see it themselves. "This is great!" Overjoyed, the Feaks gathered around Jaxon and carefully helped him up from the ground. "Grandpa, Dad, why are you here? Where am I? How did I get here?" Jaxon asked weakly as he took in his surroundings. After getting attacked by the Southern Boss, he passed out immediately and did not know what happened afterward. He woke up to his family surrounding him on top of a mountain, so he was confused. "Well," Roman and the others were rendered speechless. They now knew that Leon took Jaxon to the mountain to cure Jaxon, which meant that Leon could not be the culprit. They all wrongfully accused Leon. Feeling emb
Once he was in front of Leon, Roman fell on his knees. "Mister Wolf, I'm sorry. I was wrong for accusing you of something you didn't do. I apologize. At the same time, I would like to thank you for saving my grandson. We won't forget what you've done for us," he said sincerely. Leon was kind enough to treat Jaxon, yet they kept attacking Leon and attempted to kill him over false belief. Thankfully, Leon was formidable and managed to fend them off, or he would have been killed by now. If that happened, the Feaks would have taken an innocent life and gotten Jaxon killed in the process as well. Thinking back to it, Roman felt chills down his spine. It was Leon's kindness and tireless effort that saved Jaxon. To express his guilt and gratitude, he let go of his pride and kneels to seek Leon's forgiveness. "That's not necessary! Just don't keep accusing me of murder. I don't need your apology!" Leon scoffed and walked away with a dark expression. He was still human with feel
In the next moment, Romeo walked over to Leon and kneeled beside Roman. Seeing as the two of them kneeled, the two elders followed as well. Though this was mainly Romeo's fault, they helped and were equally guilty. Upon learning the truth, they both felt ashamed and wished to be forgiven. "What are you doing?" Leon's expression darkened. Though frustrated that he was falsely accused, he could not stand having elderly men kneeling before him for forgiveness. Instantly, he could not decide how he felt. "Mister Wolf, this is my fault. I lost my mind and thought that you killed Jaxon. I've recognized my mistakes now. Please find it in your heart to forgive me," Romeo said and bowed his head earnestly. A man should own up to what he did. He initially thought that he lost his son and lost his composure, which came close to causing such a mess. Now that the truth was out, he kneeled and apologized sincerely. "Yeah!" "Mister Wolf, we didn't mean to wrong you. Please for
"Howard, I'm sorry. It's our fault. We didn't mean to. Please forgive us," Roman said apologetically. "Forget it. Since it didn't escalate further, I won't press further. However, this will be the first and last time you do such things!" Howard scoffed, his expression easing. "Of course. This won't happen again," Roman said in relief. After reprimanding Roman, Howard took a deep breath to calm himself and turned to look at Leon. "Mister Wolf, right? I attacked without digging deeper into the truth and came close to killing you. This is my fault and I apologize. Please forgive me," Howard said guilty, and apologized sincerely. Though he was misled by the Feaks, it was still wrong of him to attack Leon without any evidence. As a Dragon Guard, he failed his duty. Thankfully, Fletcher knew Leon and stopped him in time to prevent a tragedy from taking place. If he killed Leon, he would not be able to explain himself to his captain. Naturally, he did not know he was worrying ov
"Yeah!" "Jaxon, who did this?" Roman and the others turned to look at Jaxon, their gaze resentful. Not only did the culprit murder a few guards, they came close to taking Jaxon's life as well. The Feaks developed a deep resentment for the culprit and once they found out who did this, they would avenge the dead no matter the cost. "I don't know! The culprit wore a mask so I can't identify him. Judging from his figure and voice, he's probably a middle-aged man, though," Jaxon said weakly. "What?" "You don't know who did this?" "Damn it! How can this be?" The Feaks' hearts sank as they assumed Jaxon would know who was responsible. None of them expected the culprit to be so careful and took special care to hide their faces and identities. This caught them by surprise. Though Jaxon could identify from the figure that the culprit was a middle-aged man, there were plenty of people who fit that profile in all the families in the western region. They could not possibly
"Wait, hang on! Mister Wolf, the Southern Boss should be in the southern region, so why would he come all the way here to rob us?" "Can you be mistaken?" ... The Feaks recovered from the initial shock and asked. Though the southern and western regions were next to one another, each contained vast land and the heart of each region were far apart. The Feaks were moderately influential and not as up-to-date about what happened in other regions compared to more influential families. Some of the most powerful families already received information that the Thompsons destroyed the Spears and the Southern Boss fled with severe injuries. However, the Feaks were unaware of this. Hence, they did not understand why the Sotuehrn Boss would end up in the western region and commit such crimes. This led them to wonder if Leon was mistaken. "I'm not mistaken. I've fought the Southern Boss before and I'm familiar with his true energy. When I was treating Mister Jaxon, I could sense the
"Mister Wolf, you said that you detected the Southern Boss’s true energy on Jaxon's wound? But, why would he be in the western region?" Roman changed the subject. He, too, felt that Leon was merely bluffing when he said he would take the Southern Boss down and did not take it seriously. "Well, Elder Feaks, you probably don't know this, but the Thompsons destroyed the Spears and the Southern Boss fled to the western region with severe injuries," Leon said thoughtfully and proceeded to briefly explain what happened. The Spears' downfall and the Southern Boss’s injury were mainly caused by Leon, but he came here using a fake name. On top of that, the others did not believe him when he said he would take the Southern Boss down. To avoid being mistaken as a person who enjoyed bluffing, he simply gave all the credit to the Thompsons. "I see. So, can the Southern Boss be behind all that happened?" Realization dawned on the Feaks. The Thompsons were the head of all families in the
"Dad, what should we do now? The Southern Boss is one of the strongest martial artists in both the Western and southern regions. If he is responsible for all these, we won't be able to retaliate," Romeo said. The Feaks were hardly the most powerful families and the strongest martial artist in the family stopped at the Semi-Almighty State, which was miles away from the Advanced Almighty State the Southern Boss was in. Naturally, Roman and the elders agreed as well. They all know that the Feaks could not rival the Southern Boss in strength and going after him for revenge would only cause the downfall of their own family. Instantly, their hearts sank in despair. "Elder Feaks, don't worry! Back in the southern region, the Southern Boss was found working with one of the eight criminals and because of that, he is already wanted by the Dragon Corps. Now that he has committed murder again in the western region, I'm sure that the Dragon Guards in both the southern and western regions
