"It's fine! Western Boss, you don't have to come to me. I'm already here!" The Southern Boss's composed voice rose as he strode into the living room to stand before the Western Boss and Felton. "Southern Boss, you came just in time!" The Western Boss scoffed and cut to the chase. "How did the Rainbow Flower get taken? If I'm not mistaken, you are probably responsible for this, right? Don't try to tell me it's not you!" Though he guessed that the Southern Boss was responsible, it was merely his speculation and he could not be certain. Hence, he suppressed his anger and did not fight the Southern Boss immediately. "Well, you're right! I admit that I took the Rainbow Flower!" The Southern Boss nodded and admitted it. "Why you! So it was you! Very well! I took you in and treated you as my guest, yet you stole the Rainbow Flower from under my eyes. Don't you think you are out of line here?" Hearing the Southern Boss admit to it, the Western Boss laughed angrily and a malicious int
"Western Boss, you've underestimated Leon. He is far more formidable than you imagine." The Southern Boss sighed. He, too, failed because he underestimated Leon and ended up in such a disheveled state. It was hardly an exaggeration to say that he knew how terrifying Leon could be better than anyone else. Still, the fact that the Western Boss underestimated Leon worked to his advantage and he wanted nothing but for the Western Boss to suffer at the hands of Leon. That would be the only way for the Western Boss to join him in seeking revenge against Leon. He did not warn the Western Boss again and simply changed the subject. "Western Boss, let's not talk about Leon for now. Let's talk about the Rainbow Flower. I took the flower, but I don't intend on keeping it to myself. Let's split it in half between the two of us. What do you think?" the Southern Boss said. He took the Rainbow Flower partly because he feared Leon may get t it first. On top of that, he also wished to get to
The Southern Boss nodded and proceeded to explain the property of the Rainbow Flower, "You heard me right. Western Boss, I'm sure you've heard about the property of the Rainbow Flower, right? It's neutral and anyone can take it regardless of the method they trained with. However, because of that, martial artists in the Almighty State or above may find it challenging to get past the barriers in their training using the Rainbow Flower." "That's true. If that's the case, how are you going to get me to the next level using half the Rainbow Flower?" the Western Boss asked in confusion. The Rainbow Flower was so rare that he never saw it before. However, the western region was famous for its abundant supply of herbs, so the Rainbow Flower would emerge every twenty to thirty years. As a powerful figure in the Western region, the Western Boss heard of the Rainbow Flower and knew that it had a neutral property, not leaning toward light or dark energy. Male and female martial artists o
"What? Do you have the Sunlit Herb? That's wonderful!" The Western Boss was overjoyed and burst out laughing. He knew that the Sunlit Herb was a powerful spiritual herb that contained light energy, which could complement the Rainbow Flower perfectly. If they used the two together, there was a huge chance that they could both reach the Peak Almighty State. Instantly, he was thrilled. "Western Boss, I suppose that means you aren't upset that I took the Rainbow Flower in secret now, are you?" The Southern Boss smiled confidently as everything was in his control. "Of course, not. So long as you can get me to the Peak Almighty State, I won't blame you. I should be thanking you instead." The Western Boss stopped laughing and suppressed his excitement. The malicious intent and rage in his eyes vanished completely. Apart from Mister Orpwood, all other martial artists including him and Caleb were only in the Advanced Almighty State at best. If he could get to the Peak Almighty S
"Well, sure, I promise that I'll go to the southern region to rescue your son if you get me to the Peak Almighty State!" The Western Boss considered for a moment and agreed. With their combined strength once they both reached the Peak Almighty State, they could easily rescue Rodney without having to fear the Thompsons or the Dragon Guards. Hence, there was no way that he would deny such a simple request. What he did not know was that the Southern Boss intended to use him to destroy the Thompsons, or he would not have agreed so readily. "Also, I can never forgive Leon. Once my son is rescued, I want you to fight him with me. I want that brat to be torn into pieces," the Southern Boss said viciously. Hatred filled his eyes as he mentioned Leon and he desperately wished he could tear Leon apart. Naturally, rescuing Rodney was more important. Since Leon was far too resourceful and formidable, he intended to rescue Rodney before fighting Leon with the Western Boss's help. "The
"He's just a kid. I'll inform you once we catch him!" The Western Boss paused and changed the subject. "Southern Boss, you've taken a few lives and the Dragon Guards will get involved. This is getting troublesome! Why don't I find you a place somewhere remote? You can hide there for the time being. He knew that the Dragon Corps was filled with formidable martial artists and if they found out that the Southern Boss was involved, it was only a matter of time before they guessed that the Western Boss was hiding him. This would hardly benefit the Fermers. Hence, he wanted the Southern Boss to hide from the Dragon Corps and prevent him from dragging the Fermers into this mess. "It's fine. Western Boss, don't worry. I didn't leave any survivor behind when I took the Rainbow Flower so there's nothing there to trace back to me. As capable as the Dragon Guards may be, they can't possibly know that I'm the culprit. Rest assured," the Southern Boss said casually. He felt that he left no
"Well, alright! Since you didn't leave any trace behind, you don't have to hide. Let's see if there's any movement from the Dragon Corps!" the Western Boss said thoughtfully. Though he was worried that the Southern Boss would drag the Fermers into a mess, he could not force the Southern Boss into hiding if he did not wish to do so. Since the Southern Boss repeatedly claimed that he left no trace behind, it would be challenging for the Dragon Corps to deduce that he was the culprit. In the worst-case scenario, he could send some people to probe what the Dragon Corps' next movement would be. If they indeed found out that the Southern boss was responsible, they would likely announce it or send the Dragon Guards out to search for the Southern Boss. It would not be too late to hide the Southern Boss at that point. "Sure! Western Boss, if that is all, I will go and extract the Rainbow Flower's essence now. Once I'm done, I'll hand half the Rainbow Flower and half the Sunlit Herb to
"Dad, speaking of Leon and Cynthion Group. I wonder if Diego and the others managed to capture him. Why haven't they returned?" Felton asked. Like the Western Boss, he did not think that Leon could escape them. It was normal for him to think so as he fought Leon the night before. Based on the power and explosive power Leon displayed, Leon was merely slightly stronger than he was and was likely in the Advanced Emperor State. That level of power was nothing compared to all the formidable martial artists amongst the Fermers. The Western Boss already sent out three capable martial artists to go after Leon. Diego reached the Almighty State, whereas Enzo and Milo were both in the Semi-Almighty State. With such a group, Leon could not possibly rival them in strength. If he was not mistaken, they should have already captured Leon and were on their way back. That was the only way that things could go. However, the reality proved him wrong. Just then, they heard footsteps app
