Chapter 1523


    “Okay. I’ll try talking to Yuriter,” Hope rose within Leon.


    He already decided to give up on the Angel’s Fruit owned by the Martells, but Iris’s advice sparked an


    idea in him. Though he did not possess the power to get the Angel’s Fruit from the Martells, it would be


    an easy task for the Thompsons.


    “No!” Patrick shook his head and rejected Iris’s suggestion.


    “No? Why not?” Leon froze.


    “You don’t know this, but the Martells are connected to the Southern Boss! The Thompsons had some


    issues with the Southern Boss in the past and though the Martells don’t have the guts to turn the


    Thompsons down, the Thompsons will pay quite a price for forcing the Martells to sell the Angel’s Fruit


    to them!” Patrick exined.


    “What? The Southern Boss again?” Leon was shocked.


    Earlier that morning in the ck market, he just got into a conflict with a subordinate of the Southern


    Boss,


    the ck Gori.


    To his bewilderment, Charlie, who he just injured, shared a connection with the Southern Boss as well.


    ording to what he heard from Raphael, the Southern Boss was just as powerful as the Thompsons


    and it was not a good sign that he already had two different conflicts with people connected to the


    Southern Boss.


    “Again? What’s that supposed to mean?” Patrick shot Leon a confused look.


    “No, nothing.” Leon sobered and shook his head.


    “I guess we can’t get the Angel’s Fruit through the Thompsons, then! What should we do, Leon?” Iris


    asked worriedly.


    “It’s fine. We’re in rush to find an Angel’s Fruit. I’ll figure something else out,” Leon consoled her.


    Since they knew that obtaining the Angel’s Fruit through the Thompsons was unlikely, he gave up on


    seeking Yuri’s help.


    There were other Angel’s Fruits, so he could always search for another one even if he could not obtain


    the


    one owned by the Martells.


    It was gettingte, so Leon bid his farewell to the Scammells and left with Iris and Snow.

    Meanwhile, Charlie dragged his injured body out of the Scammells Mansion and ran into Eugene when


    he walked past the house where the second bloodline of Scammells resided.


    Next to Eugene was Nigel, who was still in a wheelchair since Leon broke his legs.


    Nigel was one of the brightest of his generation and saw Charlie multiple times before since they were


    both elite members of society.


    “Mister Martell? What happened to you?” Nigel was surprised by the state Charlie was in.


    “Don’t even ask about it! That Leon guy from your family injured me,” Charlie snorted coldly.


    Nigel was a direct descendent of the Scammells, and since Leon was a part of the family, Charlie


    resented all the Scammells equally because of the injury he suffered at the hands of Leon.


    “Leon? How dare he hurt you? He must’ve gone mad!” Nigel was shocked.


    The Martells were far more influential than the Scammells and even Nigel had to be careful around


    Charlie, yet Leon, a foreigner from Springfield City, dared to injure Charlie.


    Leon’s boldness shook Nigel to his core.
