“Here’s the thing. The Spears have disbanded and the Southern Boss fled. Without them, the
underground community has started to cause trouble in recent days. I summoned you here to discuss
what we should do about this.” Alfred cut to the chase.
The Southern Boss was once the ruler of the underground community with great influence and power.
The Dragon Guards only left the Southern Boss alone for so long because of that. Once the Southern
Boss fell, the other parties in the community would fight for power, leading to large-scale crossfire and
casualties, which would affect the society as a whole.
This was not something that the Dragon Corps wished to see.
However, since Leon defeated the Southern Boss who worked with the Demon Lord and Hades, there
was no way that the Dragon Corps could spare the Southern Boss any longer.
The Southern Boss’s downfall and death were merely a matter of time.
As the person in charge of the southern region branch of Dragon Corps, Alfred needed to find a way to
maintain order within the underground community before chaos erupted; it was part of his duty.
“Don’t worry, Mister Glasbey! I set a lot of the Southern Boss’s subordinates free before this. With
those people in place, there should be no issue for now,” Leon explained.
“That may be true, but it’s temporary! If we want to stabilize the underground community, we need
someone to replace the Southern Boss and take control! That alone is the permanent solution!” Alfred
said.
“Well,” Leon was at a loss for words.
Alfred was right. The underground community included many criminals and ruthless individuals. Using
the people who once worked for the Southern Boss to suppress them would only help temporarily.
As time went on, the different powers at play would soon conflict with one another over profits.
Indeed, this was hardly a great solution and all challenges could be countered if someone could
replace the Southern Boss.
Back when Leon was in springfield City, he defeated Harold and the Lowes but managed to get Vincent
to replace Harold almost immediately, which stabilized the power dynamic of the community.
This was a similar situation and Leon knew he and Alfred had to recommend someone else to take
after the Southern Boss to be safe.
“Mister Glasbey, how about this? I’ll speak to the Thompsons and they can send someone to do this!
Based on their power, they should be more than capable of controlling the underground community.”
Leon thought of the Thompsons.
He knew that there were many powerful martial artists amongst the Thompsons, and their influence
took root deep within the southern region. So long as the Thompsons were willing to help, they could
easily take over.
“I’m afraid not! The Thompsons are a righteous bunch and would likely be reluctant to get involved,”
Alfred shook his head.
