Nearcity was a rundown place in a remote region inhabited by poor people. Victoria did not spend too much of her resources on this place—she only sent Leoric and a dozen men to keep an eye on it. She never expected anyone would try and take this place away. Thanks to that, Kenzo managed to take over this place 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 flash.

"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 his lackeys 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 playing the same tune over and over again.


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

The two dozen boxers surrounded Kenzo and his lackeys 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 flared 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…"
