"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
"Diego, why would Elder Morrison and Daglesh gather outside Hugh's room? What are they trying to do?" Snapping out of it, the Western Boss's expression darkened. Though he did not know why these people were waiting outside Leon's room, he knew that these people all rival him in influence and status. Neither of these people would be willing to wait for him, not to mention wait for a young junior like Leon. He could not figure out what Leon did and could not accept what happened. "Well, I'm not sure about that." Diego, Enzo, and Milo all shook their heads. "Damn it! How can this happen? Have I underestimated Leon?" The Western Boss recalled the Southern Boss's warning. The Southern Boss reminded him multiple times that Leon was formidable, but he paid no mind to it because Leon was far too young. Judging from the current situation, however, there was far more to Leon if he was worthy enough to keep Caleb and Elder Daglesh waiting. His expression turned solemn and he reali
"Here I thought there's more to that kid. So he's just acting smug because he represents Cynthion Group." The Western sighed a breath of relief. He initially thought that Leon was more capable than he anticipated and thought he needed to reconsider his plan to take over Cynthion Group. However, upon learning that Leon was not truly that capable, he was relieved. "Dad, Cynthion Group's potential exceeds our expectations if it can get all these families to fawn over it. We have to seize control of it no matter what," Felton said. "You are right. Cynthion Group is ours by right!" the Western Boss said. Though he could tell that Cynthion Group had great potential, it surpassed his expectations if so many powerful families were fawning over it. Instantly, he was more certain than ever that he needed to make Cynthion Group his. "Sir, what should we do now? Should we go back to the hotel to capture Hugh?" Diego asked. He, Milo, and Enzo all thought that Hugh was someone import
"Jayden, can't you be a little more composed and stop fussing?" Caleb shot Jayden a displeased look. "Dad, I'm just telling the truth. Hugh is just a vice president. Who's he to keep us all waiting here for him?" Jayden paused and turned to the others. "Elder Daglesh, Elder Rathbournes, forgive me for being blunt. You're all influential figures. Even if the chairman, Leon, is here, he has no right to keep you all waiting. Hugh's just the vice president, yet you all let go of your pride to wait for him here. Don't you think it's a little foolish?" Jayden said frankly. "Well," Elder Daglesh and Elder Rathbournes were instantly rendered speechless. Though they were waiting here voluntarily and Hugh had no part in it, what Jayden said made sense. Hugh was just the vice president of Cynthion Group and was not the chairman. He was not qualified to have all these powerful figures waiting here for him. They realized that this was far too flattering for someone of Hugh's status. Aft
"Fifty-fifty, Huh?" Everyone's eyes widened. They all knew the potential hidden within Cynthion Group. If they could obtain an equal share of the total profit, they could profit handsomely without doing much. However, this was a rather harsh condition for Cynthion Group so there was no way that Hugh would accept it. Still, what Jayden said made sense. Cynthion Group had no connection in the western region and if they wished to expand, they would have to work with one of them. So long as everyone proposed the same condition, Cynthion Group would have no choice but to accept it. "No way! Uncle, fifty-fifty is too harsh. Mister Wolf would never agree to it," Hugo was shocked and argued. He knew that Jayden was a selfish person who was constantly trying to obtain more profit from Leon. On top of that, Caleb and the elders hesitated to confirm the partnership mainly because they were under Jayden's influence. Both he and Renee worked so hard to finally convince Caleb and t
Howard and Fletcher returned alongside Leon. After discussing the matter concerning the Southern Boss with Mister Orpwood, a feast was arranged to welcome Leon. During the feast, Leon came across a few old friends he met during the mission to eliminate the Poisonwielder. They all thanked him respectfully and they all drank in joy. Once the feast was over, Mister Orpwood noticed that Leon had quite a few to drink, so he arranged for Fletcher and Howard to escort Leon back to the hotel. "Alright! My room's right up ahead. You can both go back," Leon stopped and said to Fletcher and Howard. Fletcher and the others all paid their respect by drinking with Leon earlier. Not wanting to be the wet blanket, Leon drank quite a few glasses and still felt slightly tipsy. "Sure, Mister Wolf. Rest well. We'll both leave now. Let's gather again when we have the chance," the two of them said with a smile. Before the two could leave, they turned and noticed a bunch of people hurrying over
