Chapter 154


    Nearcity was a rundown ce in a remote region inhabited by poor people. Victoria did not spend


    too much of her resources on this ce—she only sent Leoric and a dozen men to keep an eye on


    it. She never expected anyone would try and take this ce away. Thanks to that, Kenzo managed


    to take over this ce with just three dozen men he brought from Diosna.


    He knew all his men were trash. They were uneducated thugs, and none of them ever lifted a day in


    their lives. His men were all trembling in fear, and the sight of the burly men almost gave him a


    heart attack. Any one of them could destroy all his men easily. Two dozen of them would wipe them


    out in a sh.

    "W-What are you doing?" Kenzo was trying his hardest not to soil his pants. He said with a


    trembling voice, "W-Who are you guys? M-Mr. Norton''s my boss. Y-You better stay away from me."


    Baron got out of the van and went past the crowd. "Xanxus is sending his henchmen to my turf?"


    Baron roared, and the air seemed to freeze.


    Kenzo gulped. "Y-You are..."


    "Baron Howe, one of the Seven Legends."


    Kenzo and hisckeys were dumbfounded. H-He''s one of the legends! Just like our own boss is! I


    can''t believe he''s here! "M-Mr.


    Howe..." Kenzo was shivering so much, it could have been negative twenty degrees out there. His


    voice chattered, not unlike a broken record ying the same tune over and over again.


    Baron red at him and waved his hand. "Surround these b*stards!"


    The two dozen boxers surrounded Kenzo and hisckeys at once.


    The scrawny guys tossed their bats away, huddling together and shivering in fear. Some of them


    even cried.


    Kenzo''s face was ashen, and he shuddered. "W-What are you doing, Mr. Howe? This is our turf.


    You can—"


    Before he could finish, Baron barked, "Your turf? This is Miss Jeanne''s turf! Xanxus has crossed the


    line, and I will teach him to never do that."


    Kenzo felt a chill running down his spine, as he could tell that Baron wanted to kill him. Baron turned


    around and shouted, "Get over here, Leoric!"


    A man who looked worse for wear appeared. "Here, Mr. Howe."


    "Tell me, did this b*stard take your turf away?


    "Yes." Vengeance red in Leoric''s eyes.


    "That''s him. My men and I were banged up so bad, we had to stay in the hospital for days. I just got


    discharged."


    Baron looked at Kenzo coldly. He chided, "We got the witness here. What do you have to say for


    yourself?"


    "I... I..." Kenzo almost wet his pants, but then he remembered something, and he said, "Mr. Howe,


    this is between our boss and Victoria. If you..."


    Kenzo did not finish, but it was clear that he wanted to say this was not Baron''s business. If Baron


    were to interfere, then he would be crossing the line as well.


    "So you''re saying I would be crossing the line if I interfere?" Baron asked, his tone menacing.


    "Yes." Kenzo held his fear back and pleaded with him. "We''re all in the wrong here, so why don''t we


    take a step back and forget this ever happened, Mr. Howe?"


    Baron shot him a dark smile. "Wrong.


    You''re in the wrong here, but I''m not." He strode to Kingsley and bowed at him, then he roared at


    Kenzo, "You disrespected my boss! I can cut your limbs off just for that alone!"


    What? Kenzo felt his ears buzz, and his mind was nk. "W-What are you talking about, Mr.


    Howe?" Kenzo was in disbelief. "A-A kid like him i-is your boss?"


    Baron kicked Kenzo''s abdomen. "F*ck you! Who are you calling kid ? He''s my boss!"


    The underworld only cared about status, not age.


    "H-He''s your boss?" Kenzo was flummoxed. I got into the bad books of Mr. Howe''s boss?
