On the way to the southern region, Leon called Angus to warn him, informing him that the Southern Boss and the Western Boss were heading over to rescue Rodney. He then called Alfred and requested backup from the Dragon Guards located in the southern region. Though Alfred went to the central region like Mister Orpwood and could not do much in the southern region, there had to be Platinum Dragon Guards stationed in the southern region. With Alfred's order, he could send the Platinum Dragon Guards in the Almighty State over to help the Thompsons. Like the Dragon Corps in the western region, they could only gather seven to eight Platinum Dragon Guards, and not all of them within such short notice. Given the Southern Boss and the Western Boss’s strength, the Thompsons may not win even with the help of the Dragon Guards. Still, Leon never planned to rely on the Thompsons and the Dragon Guards. If he could not catch up to the Southern Boss and the Western Boss, the Thompsons and
"He's right." "With Mister Wolf's help, Arthur has already reached the Peak Almighty State. With his current strength, the Southern Boss and the Western Boss can’t do anything." "If they dare to show their faces here, we will take this opportunity to settle the scores!" ... The other elders agreed along. Both the Southern Boss and the Western Boss were in the Advanced Almighty State and they all knew about it. In the past, the Thompsons would be more cautious when dealing with the Southern Boss. However, the circumstances changed. Using the Sun Pill and the Energy Convergence Circle, Leon helped Arthur get to the Peak Almighty State before he left the southern region. Under normal circumstances, a martial artist in the Peak Almighty State could easily defeat two to three martial artists in the Advanced Almighty State. Given Arhtur's current strength, the Southern Boss and the Western Boss were no match for him, not the mention the others they brought with them. The
"Uncle, elders, forgive me for being blunt. If the Southern Boss works with the Western Boss to defeat us, I'm sure he is fully prepared. If we fight them, we probably won't stand a chance of winning," Angus said. "Well," Everyone was instantly rendered speechless. They knew that Angus was right. The Southern Boss was cunning and capable. He would not come knocking on their door with the Western Boss if he was not certain about his chance of winning. It seemed overly foolish and unlike what the Southern Boss would do. "Also, Mister Wolf is currently heading over to support us. He advised that we hide and avoid direct contact with Southern and Western bosses. Let's wait until he arrives. I agree with him as well," Angus added. Contrary to Arthur's intention of facing the Southern Boss and the Western Boss, Angus leaned toward Leon's advice of hiding. "Well, that's a pretty good idea! We can move to another location to avoid them. Once Mister Wolf arrives, his power combine
"Arthur, what should we do now? Are you supposed to just stand idly by?" The elders paled. "We don't have to just sit on our thumbs. We can deal with this. The Southern Boss and the Western Boss are equally powerful as us. If we are in a stand-off, they won't be able to defeat us that easily." Arthur scoffed, not giving up on the idea to face the Southern Boss."Arthur, what do you mean?" The elders were slightly confused. "It's simple. Angus, you will arrange for all the elderly, children, and women to move to a safe location. All members that are in the Almighty State will stay and wait for the Southern Boss and the Western Boss to arrive. We shall face them! Given our strength, even if we can't defeat them, we can stall and wait for Mister Wolf to arrive. That shouldn't be challenging," Arthur said. Since the Southern Boss likely reached the Peak Almighty State and had the help of the Western Boss along with the Fermers, they were powerful enough to rival the Thompsons. Sti
"Angus, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you. Let me go or my dad will kill you all!" Rodney, whom John restrained, roared. Still, he was terrified. Ever since the Thompsons captured him and Joel, they were yet to kill him out of fear of the Southern Boss. However, Joel was less lucky. On the seventh day since Yonas's death, the Thompsons took Joel's life to appease Yonas's spirit. Now that Joel was dead, he was the only one left as hostage under the Thompsons' restrain. When Angus suddenly brought him out of his cell, he initially thought that he was finally meeting his end.Hence, his heart was filled with fear. However, he was helpless and was at their mercy. Angus ignored Rodney and hurried toward Arthur and the elders along with John and Rodney. "Angus, why did you bring Rodney here?" Arthur and the others were shocked. "Uncle, the Southern Boss bears ill intention. Maybe we can stall by using Rodney as a hostage," Angus said cautiously. Given the circum
"No! Uncle, I can't leave. I'm a member of the Thompsons. Now that our family's in danger, I can stand aside and leave you!" Angus shook his head. "What?""No! Angus, you're our leader. We can't risk you.""You need to leave now!"...Arthur and the other elders were taken aback and they all tried to convince him to leave. "Uncle, it's precisely because I'm the head of this family that I can't leave! If I abandon my own family to save my own life, what right do I have to lead the family?" Angus said with determination. As a man, there were duties he had to fulfill. Arthur and the others were his blood and he could not abandon his own family just to survive on his own. He could not possibly do this. On top of that, the Thompsons had equal power as the Southern Boss and the Western Boss. Even if he stayed, the Southern Boss may not be able to do much to them and Angus was not worried. "But," Arthur and the others were reluctant to give up and they tried to convince Angu
"This must be the infamous Western Boss!" Arthur turned to the Western Boss. The Western Boss was the ruler of the underground society in the Western region and rarely crossed paths with the Thompsons. Hence, Arthur only heard of the Western Boss and the two never met. Still, judging from the overbearing presence of the man before him, he could guess who he was. "How do you know who I am?" The Western Boss frowned in bafflement. He came to the southern region with the Southern Boss to ambush the Thompsons and rescue Rodney. This was a secret mission and apart from Felton and the Apostles, no one knew about it. Yet, not only did Arthur guess who he was, but he also had people stationed outside as though he knew they were coming. This caught him by surprise and he could not figure out how the Thompsons found out about this. Naturally, he considered if something happened to Felton and the Apostles, causing them to leak information about their plan. However, he soon dis
"You wouldn't dare! Angus, if you dare to harm my son, I'll make sure that every member of the Thompsons dies today!" The Southern Boss did not take Angus's threat seriously. After the Spears fell apart, the Southern Boss lost almost everything. However, the same could not be said about the Thompsons. The Thompsons were a big family with many members. With so much dead weight around, he knew that Angus would not harm Rodney out of fear so he was not affected by Angus's threat. "You want to kill all of us? How arrogant!" Arthur laughed angrily. "Arthur, you'll find out if I'm just being arrogant soon enough," The Southern Boss narrowed his eyes sharply. As he spoke, he leaped into action swiftly and darted toward Angus to rescue Rodney. Though he was certain that Angus dared not to harm Rodney, it was still an issue that Rodney was at the Thompsons' mercy. Hence, he took advantage of Angus's distraction and attacked out of the blue to save Rodney. "The Peak Almighty St
