"Wait, that's not right! I heard that the Southern Boss and the Spears were destroyed by the Thompsons! What does that have to do with Leon?" Jayden questioned. The Spears were one of the most powerful forces in the southern region and the Southern Boss was the ruler of the underground community. Ever since the Spears' downfall, the Southern Boss fled with severe injury and this caused quite a stir in the southern region. However, since the Thompsons were involved and Leon preferred to keep a low profile, most people thought that the Thompsons were responsible. The southern region was connected to the western region, so some of the more alert families in the western region already learned about the incident. The Morrisons were no exception. Jayden caught rumors that the Southern Boss was missing and the Spears were destroyed a few days ago, but it was rumored to be the work of the Thompsons. However, Caleb now claimed it was Leon who injured the Southern Boss. This contra
"No. The third elder used to be friends with one of the elders in the Thompsons. He learned the truth from that elder," Caleb said sternly. When the third elder reported his findings, Caleb reacted the same way and initially thought the third elder had the wrong information as well. However, when it was revealed that this information was from one of the elders amongst the Thompsons, all doubts within Caleb vanished. Since this elder was close with the third elder, there was no reason for him to lie. On top of that, if the Thompsons were the ones who caused the Spears' downfall, they could not possibly let a young man take all the credit. It would be foolish for them to allow others to take credit for their work, and therefore, Caleb believed what the elder said without a doubt. "But," Jayden and the other elders were stunned. They all knew that there may not be much truth to rumors and since the third elder got his information from an elder from the Thompsons, it was likely
"Yeah! Leon may be young, but he is insanely strong. I've never heard of such talent." Caleb nodded, his expression growing warier by the moment. He did not know which level Leon was in, but for him to kill the Demon Lord and injure the Southern Boss, he would have to be in the Peak Almighty State or above. Considering his age, his talent was unmatched and unheard of. Throughout the entire Sky County, even martial artists in the older generation would struggle to compare to Leon. Caleb himself was one of the most powerful martial artists in the Western region and he long reached the Advanced Almighty State. Yet, he knew that he could only break even with the Demon Lord at best, so if Leon could take the Demon Lord down, he had to be much stronger than Caelb. This alarmed Caleb and he was instantly overwhelmed by pressure. Terrified of Leon, he dared not to look down on Cynthion Group. "Dad, what do we do now? If Leon is that formidable, we will need to reevaluate Cynthion
"Dad, I want to go with you to the hotel to meet with Mister Wolf!" Jayden said. After learning about Leon's strength, he dared not to stop Caleb from going to meet Leon. However, Leon was just a young man and he remained doubtful if someone of his age could actually be in the Peak Almighty State or above. Hence, he decided to go with the others to see if he could ask Hugh about Leon to find out if what they knew was true. "Grandfather, me too! I want to come along as well," Renee said, her eyes bright. She was already curious about Leon, to begin with. Upon learning that Leon was likely a martial artist in the Peak Almighty State, she realized his ability surpassed her imagination. Such insane talent shook her to the core and her curiosity toward Leon reached an all-time high. She desperately wanted to meet Leon, but she could not go all the way to the southern region to meet with him. Therefore, she could only go to Hugh to ask him about Leon. "Nonsense! Renee, your b
At the moment, around thirty people were gathering outside Leon's room and they were all from powerful families. During Jaxon's bouquet, everyone witnessed the true power of the alchemical pills, and the direct descendants of some influential families all realized that Cynthion Group had great market value and potential. Hence, they hurriedly brought the elders or powerful figures of their families here, hoping to meet with Leon to discuss the terms of a potential partnership. Jensen, too, brought his grandfather along. Leon clearly stated that Cynthion Group would prioritize working with the Morrisons, but there was no such thing as first come first serve in the business world. Jensen and the others refused to give up on such a great opportunity and let the Morrisons partner with Cynthion Group. Hence, they all arrived earlier that morning with their seniors in the hope of convincing Leon to work with them instead of the Morrisons. Unfortunately, Leon went outside early
"So what Renee said was true! There are plenty of other families that want to work with Cynthion Group. Grandfather, what should we do now?" Hugo asked worriedly and felt just as pressured as Caleb was. "Don't panic! We will cross that bridge when it comes to it! We are the most powerful family and we are better than these other families. It won't be that easy for these people to win against us!" Jayden scoffed. "You are one to speak! You were the one messing things up yesterday, or we would have secured the deal by now!" Caleb reprimanded. When Hugh arrived at the Morrisons' mansion, he came sincerely hoping to seal the deal. However, Jayden acted arrogantly and tirelessly and encouraged the others to fight for more profit, causing the negotiation to go sour. However, since Jayden was the leader of the second generation in the Morrisons and had great talent, Caleb and the elders always valued him. Caleb and the elders were also responsible for what happened, so Caleb did not
"Grandpa, we can't delay this any further! There are a lot of families competing with us right now. Let's go and meet with Mister Wolf! We can't let others get ahead of us!" Hugo was worried about the partnership and immediately changed the subject. "Yeah, let's go and meet with Mister Wolf!" Caleb nodded and strode toward the room along with the others. "The Morrisons are here," The others were shocked and all focused on Caleb. During the bouquet the night before, Leon mentioned that he would be prioritizing the Morrisons as potential partners. They only came this morning to meet with Leon because they wanted to go around the Morrisons. To their surprise, Caleb came here in person before they had the chance to meet with Leon. This caught them off guard. "Miss Morrison, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon!" Jensen, who stood at the very front, greeted them kindly. Though the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were both powerful families, their territories differed and they
"Elder Daglesh, since you are interested in working with Cynthion Group, let's compete fairly. I'm sure Mister Wolf will make the wise choice!" Caleb said. Though he did not want to get into a competition with these powerful families, he could not stop others from pursuing their gains and could only accept the situation. Since the Morrisons were the most powerful family in the Western region, they surpassed other families in terms of influence and power. As the head of the Morrisons, he did not fear competition and challenge. "Thank you for understanding, Elder Morrison! Let the best win!" Elder Daglesh smiled. Seeing as Caleb did not get upset, the others sighed breaths of relief. Though they had enough power and did not fear the Morrisons, the Morrisons were not ones they wanted to cross if possible. Since Caleb understood their positions, this was an ideal situation. "Grandfather, let's focus on the important thing! Let's go and meet Mister Wolf to continue the negot
