"Iris, run!" Roanne, who was the strongest among the three, was the first to react.


    She pushed Iris out of the way and the Southern Boss failed to grab her.


    "Damn it!” Furious, the Southern Boss sent Roanne flying with his true energy.


    Without a care about whether Roanne was alive, he turned and attempted to grab Iris again.


    Meanwhile, Iris was pushed toward Renee.


    "Miss Young, run!" Renee wanted to push Iris away as well, but there was not enough time.


    She knew that the Southern Boss meant to capture Iris to threaten Leon and how important Iris was to


    Leon.

    Without hesitation, she stood before Iris to buy her time to escape.


    "Damn you!" Seeing as he was stopped by both Roanne and Renee, the Southern Boss was infuriated.


    Not showing any mercy, his true energy exploded and mmed against Renee''s chest.


    Under the impact, Renee spewed a mouthful of blood and was instantly sent flying.


    She mmed against the ground and an agonizing pain pierced through her chest. Her body and chest


    were severely damaged and she copsed on the ground, her breath weakening.


    "Southern Boss, you scum. I''m going to tear you to shreds!" Leon''s eyes turned bloodshot when he


    saw Renee and Roanne sent flying as they tried to protect Iris.


    Still, their interference bought him precious time and he swiftly closed in on the distance.


    He extended his finger andunched the Earthly Plunder from behind the Southern Boss.


    "Oh, no!" The Southern Boss was terrified because he knew that he was no match for Leon.


    Now that Leon was nearby, it would be impossible for him to capture Iris.


    Hence, his first reaction was to dodge the Earthly Plunder but he soon dismissed this thought.


    Leon was far too formidable and even if he managed to dodge the attack, he was still destined to die.


    Since he was going to die regardless, he decided to gamble.


    "Leon, stop right now or I''ll kill Iris Young!" the Southern Boss said viciously.


    Instead of dodging Leon''s attack, heunched a powerful attack at Iris and his true energy swarmed


    Iris.


    So long as Leon stopped attacking, the Southern Boss would withdraw his true energy as well and


    capture Iris as a hostage.


    If Leon refused to stop, the Earthly Plunder would kill the Southern Boss on the spot, but his true


    energy would also take Iris down to the grave with him.


    This would cost Leon Iris''s life.


    One simply had to admit that the Southern Boss was truly ruthless, and this was the only chance he


    could survive.
