"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 circumstances, the Thompsons rivaled the Southern Boss and the Western Boss, so the


    Southern Boss could not harm the Thompsons.


    However, there was always a possibility of idents.


    For safety measures, he brought Rodney here.


    Rodney was the Southern Boss''s son. So long as they used Rodney as hostage, they could hinder the


    Southern Boss and this would give them an advantage.


    "Yeah, we can try it." Arthur nodded.


    He and the elders all thought that this solution might work and that trying would not hurt.


    "What? My dad''s here? Great! I knew he''de for me," Rodney was overjoyed and perked up.


    He thought that Angus brought him out to kill him and avenge Yonas''s death.


    To his pleasant surprise, it was quite the contrary.


    Based on the conversation between Angus and Arthur, he realized that Angus brought him here


    because his father wasing.


    The Southern Boss was here to rescue Rodney and he was over the moon.


    "Shut up!" Angus could not bear Rodney''s voice and pped him in the face angrily.


    Snap!


    Rodney saw stars from the p and blood streamed down the corner of his lips.


    He dared not to say more, worried about getting punished for speaking.


    However, he red at Angus with resentment as he swore to tear Angus into shreds once his father


    saved him.


    This was the only way he could vent his rage.


    "Angus, hand Rodney to me. I think that the Southern Boss and the Western Boss are almost here.


    You need to leave before they get here," Arthur said.


    He knew that Angus recently reached the Initial Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State.


    Though Arthur intended to wait for the Southern Boss and the Western Boss alongside all members of


    the Almighty State, this did not include Angus.


    As the newly appointed leader of the family, he could not allow anything bad to happen to Angus.


    ording to what he and the elders nned, they wished that Angus would evacuate along with the


    other members.
