"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
"What?" Both the Western Boss and Felton were shocked. "Dad, why would the Dragon Corps seize our properties? Did, did they find out about the Southern Boss?" Felton snapped out of it but remained baffled. He knew that given the Western Boss's status, the Dragon Corps would not target the Fermers to maintain the order of the community. The Southern Boss's crime already caught the Dragon Corps' attention, so Felton realized that there was a chance that the Dragon Corps found the truth and concluded that the Southern Boss was connected to the Fermers. This may explain why two properties under the Fermers' name were seized as the Dragon Corps must have done it for a reason. "Well, that's possible!" The Western Boss's expression darkened. He agreed with Felton and initially thought that the Southern Boss's crime was discovered. The Dragon Corps likely found out that the Fermers were hiding the Southern Boss and perhaps that was why the Fermers were being targeted at the momen
"I see!" Felton realized that the Western Boss's words made sense. There was a high chance that the Dragon Corps were punishing the Fermers because Diego and the others attacked Leon. Such mild punishment should not be linked to murder and robbery. "Dad, what should we do with Leon then?" Felton asked. He and the Western Boss both agreed to send two martial artists in the Intermediate Almighty State to capture Leon. However, the Dragon Corps was already sending the Fermers a warning about the initial attack they planned. If they ignored this warning and continued to target Leon, they would be challenging the Dragon Corps' authority. Nothing good could come from crossing the Dragon Corps. On the other hand, the Cynthion Group had great market value and the Fermers had to obtain it, so Felton could not bring himself to give up. "Forget it. Let's put this matter about Leon aside for now! He won't be able to do much at the moment. Once I get to the Peak Almighty State, we c
The next morning, in a five-star hotel. Leon woke up and just freshened up when he heard someone knocking on the door. "Who is it?" he asked instinctively. Thinking back to the ambush he encountered last night, he was alarmed and wondered if Felton and the Western Boss sent someone over to attack him again. Just then, Renee's melodious voice sounded outside the door. "It's me, Hugh." "Oh, it's Miss Morrison," He smiled and realized he was overthinking. He walked over to open the door and Renee entered the room. "Hugh, why did you move to a different room?" she asked in puzzlement. When she arrived at the hotel earlier, she went to the initial room only to find that Leon was gone. She proceeded to ask the hotel staff and found out that Leon moved into a different room. "Oh, a few thugs came to attack me last night. I broke all the furniture during the fight so I had to change into a different room," Leon explained "Thugs? Were they sent by Felton?" A thought flashe
