"Is this kid that special?" Diego, Milo, and Enzo exchanged confused glances when they saw how respectful Fletcher was to Leon. None of them could figure out how special a youngster from the southern region is. Could it be that Hugh was from a certain powerful family in the southern region with great influence? Even so, that should not matter. This was the western region and the Fermers were only second to the Morrisons in terms of power. Even if Hugh held a high status in the southern region, it would not help him in the western region. The three of them had the support of the Fermers and the Western Boss, so they could not possibly lose to Leon. With that thought in mind, they relaxed and assumed that Fletcher was putting on a show to scare them. That seemed to be the only reasonable explanation. However, what happened next shook them to the core. "Listen well, you three! Mister Wolf here is a Platinum Dragon Guard from the southern region!" With Leon's permission
"Oh no! The Western Boss and Mister Felton have underestimated Hugh," Realization dawned on Diego. He knew that the three of them were not the only ones misled by Felton. The Western Boss was misled as well and that was why they underestimated Hugh. However, Hugh turned out to be a formidable martial artist who was also a high-rank Platinum Dragon Guard with the Dragon Corps' support. As powerful as the Fermers were, they could not rival the Dragon Corps. If the Western Boss and Felton continued to underestimate Hugh or attempt to capture him, they would be digging their graves. Terrified, Diego realized how severe the situation was. He had to get words to the Western Boss somehow to inform him about Hugh's true identity and prevent him from targeting Hugh, or the consequences would be unimaginable. However, the reality was cruel and the three of them were about to be arrested and confined. With their fate out of control, they could not possibly find the chance to get w
"Also, I want you to talk to Mister Orpwood once you get back. If possible, I want him to send the Western a warning to prevent him from doing anything else!" Leon added. During the bouquet last night, Felton targeted and picked on him. Now, his actions escalated and the Western Boss even sent people to attack him. This was far out of line and Leon was infuriated by this. However, tracking the Southern Boss down was more important and Leon had no time to deal with the Western Boss or Felton. Hence, he wanted Mister Orpwood's help to give the Western Boss a warning. Once he settled the matter concerning the Southern Boss, he could always find the time to punish the Western Boss and Felton. "Sure!" Fletcher and Howard said. With that, they dragged Diego, Milo, and Enzo out and left. Once they were gone, Leon realized the sorry state his room was in and that he could not stay there any longer. Leon could only call the hotel manager over to get another room. As for the
"Oh, no! Did something bad happen to them?" The Western Boss slammed the table and stood. The Southern Boss reminded him repeatedly that Leon was resourceful and formidable beyond his imagination. However, due to the misleading information Felton gave and the fact that the Southern Boss did not meet Hugh in person to confirm if he was Leon, the Western Boss looked down on Hugh and did not take the Southern Boss's warning to heart. However, seeing as Diego and the others were late to return, an ominous feeling overwhelmed him. Instinctively, he realized that the Southern Boss's warning may have been genuine and Leon was likely more powerful than he imagined. If that was the case, Diego and the others likely failed. "That's impossible! Dad, Diego, and the others are strong. Even if they failed to capture Leon, it's not likely that they were all defeated! I'm sure that a few of those big shots are still in the hotel in the hope of working with Cynthion Group. Diego and the oth
Just then, hurried footsteps approached and interrupted their conversation. "Have Diego and the others returned?" Felton perked up in excitement and assumed that Diego and the others were back. The Western Boss thought the same and the two turned to look outside. Disappointingly, it was just a guard who worked for the Fermers. "Western Boss, Mister Felton, bad news," the guard said hastily. "What's wrong? What happened?" Both the Western Boss and Felton were taken aback and felt confused. "I've just received news that Diego, Milo, and Enzo were arrested by the Dragon Corps," the guards explained. Once Fletcher and Howard brought Diego, Milo, and Enzo back to the Dragon Corps, an official notice was issued immediately announcing their punishment. However, it was only stated that they were confined because of assault and there were no other details as Leon wished to keep his identity hidden. The Fermers ruled over the underground community, so they were always the first
"Nothing is impossible! Seems like the Southern Boss was right. We've underestimated Leon." The Western Boss's heart sank. He also guessed that Diego and the others lost to Leon and were handed over to the Dragon Corps afterward. This seemed to be the only possible explanation. Moreover, with Diego being in the Initial Almighty State and the other two being in the Semi-Almighty State, Leon had to be in the Intermediate Almighty State or above for him to defeat them and capture them for the Dragon Corps' disposal. At this moment, the Western Boss finally realized that he underestimated Leon. "Damn it! If that is the case, that means Leon is in the Intermediate Almighty State or above. How did he do it?" Felton's expression darkened. He did not know how Leon managed this, but he knew that Leon had to be extremely talented for him to reach the Intermediate Almighty State at such a young age. This was unheard of and even he, who was one of the Thirteen Greats, could not rival
"Dad, Leon is far more formidable than we pictured! What should we do now?" Felton asked. "We will need to think this through. In the worst-case scenario, we may need to consider giving up and making peace with him," the Western Boss said thoughtfully. Leon was too powerful if he already reached the Intermediate Almighty State. This meant that Leon could rival any big shots in the western region as he would be one of the most powerful martial artists in the region. The Western Boss dared not to underestimate Leon. On top of that, targeting Leon would cost the Fermers too much and out of consideration for the greater good, he would need to weigh his choice. In the end, he started considering if he should stop targeting Leon to prevent the Fermers from suffering further losses. "No way! The alchemical pills made by Cynthion Group have great value! If we let Leon go, we would miss out on the chance to obtain Cynthion Group! Besides, we've already crossed Leon. Even if we sto
"Yeah! Before Cynthion Group plants its roots here in the western region, we need to eliminate Leon as soon as possible and make Cynthion Group ours to prevent any accidents!" Felton sighed a breath of relief when he noticed that the Western Boss was changing his mind. He proceeded to convince the Western Boss to eliminate Leon as soon as possible. "How about this? I'll arrange for two people in the Intermediate Almighty State to deal with Leon. I refuse to believe that Leon can handle that!" The Western Boss narrowed his eyes sharply. Though Leon may have reached the Intermediate Almighty State, he was far too young and could not possibly be in the Advanced Almighty State. If that were the case, that would make him unrivaled in both the southern and western regions. This would not be realistic. Moreover, Leon was just an outsider with no connection to the western region. On top of that, he was a junior. As the Western Boss, he could not bully Leon by fighting him directl
