Chapter 2076
"Rats! That Southern Boss sure is a sly fellow!" the color drained from Angus' face when he heardRodney's dare.
Now, after the Southern Boss' daring statement, the Thompsons successfully become a pawn of Leon'splan in the public's eye. If Roanne were to turn down Rodney's challenge to a duel, this would provethe Southern Boss' point that Leon and they were in on this together!
This was no doubt a smart, albeit deceitful, trick!
"Roanne, are you going to accept my duel or not? Say something! What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'llexpose you and Leon for who you are? Why not hear me out? I'll give you one last chance; you don'tneed to defeat me, all you have to do is take three of my attacks in stride, and so long as you put up agood fight, I'll consider myself defeated!" Rodney said contemptuously, his attitude turning even cockieras he tried to provoke Roanne into accepting his challenge to a duel.
"You!" Angus, Yuri, and the rest of the Thompsons were outraged by this. not only was the SouthernBoss an enemy of Leon's, but he and the Thompsons never saw eye to eye.
Now, not only was Rodney trying to publicly humiliate Roanne, but he was even stirring up trouble forLeon and challenging the Thompsons' integrity!
The Thompsons would not go down without a fight!
"Accept his challenge, Roanne! I'd like to see what he has to say after this!" Angus said coldly.
Now, after the Southern Boss successfully roused their suspicion, the audience also already begun toquestion Roanne's validity.
Angus, however, was different; he believed in Leon wholeheartedly, and truly believed that Roannesuccessfully attained the Intermediate Emperor State with Leon's help!
Since she already advanced in her martial arts training, it would not be too difficult for her to take threeof Rodney's attacks!
If Roanne could defeat Rodney in public, this would not only prove their innocence but even cause theSouthern Boss to be humiliated for his arrogance, which was the perfect revenge for them!novelbin
It was like killing two birds with one stone!
"I accept your challenge, Rodney Spears!" Roanne nodded after receiving her father's confirmation.
"Hahaha! You asked for this, Roanne!" Rodney cackled as he leaped onto the stage.
"Um," Leon was a little hesitant at this sight. Although he was not sure what the Southern Boss had uphis sleeve, he could not help feeling a little suspicious at how eager Rodney appeared to be to duelRoanne!
His instincts were telling him that something was not right about all this, but now, since the SouthernBoss already managed to stir up some commotion, and Angus already coaxed Roanne into acceptingRodney's challenge, there was no turning back.
"Roanne, I'm afraid that Rodney's arrogance may be a premonition to some sort of trick he has coming!Please do be cautious of him!" Leon reminded her in a low voice.
"Yes, I will," Roanne nodded as a surge of warmth seeped into her heart.
With that, Leon and Cynthia backed off the stage, leaving adequate space for Roanne and Rodney tocarry out their duel.
"Roanne, seeing that you're a girl, I'll allow you to go first!" Rodney declared with a smug look as heplaced his hands behind his back.
"Alright then! Take this!" Roanne, knowing that the Spears were enemies of Leon and her family, didnot hesitate even a single moment to unleash a fiery ball of energy straight toward Rodney!
