"Outrageous! This is shameless!" Angus and the rest of the people on Leon's side were infuriated to hear Joel, Eliam, and the others slander Leon like that. However, they could not deny the truth that was sitting right in front of them; Iris was perfectly unscathed, whereas Seth was severely injured! One did not have to be a rocket scientist to see who was the victim here! Therefore, as much as they wanted to help clear Leon's name, none of them knew just how to begin explaining this! "Sirs, that's not what happened at all!" Iris was beginning to panic at this. She wanted to explain everything to Oliver and Abraham, but before she could even begin, Oliver stopped her, "Miss Young, you don't have to say anything further! We know just what the truth is!" "Oh no! It appears that even the Dragon Corps have fallen prey to Joel's lies!" Everyone's hearts sank at this. They all assumed that Oliver and Abraham bought into Joel's lies! They were not the only ones thinking this; eve
"Splendid! This is splendid! Mister Wolf, not only are you a talented man, but your greatness is known even to government figures! My admiration for you grows even deeper with each passing day!" Angus could not help bursting into laughter as he said this. he knew Leon for a while now and was beginning to grow familiar with Leon's background. Initially, he thought Leon was just a nobody who hailed from Springfield City and would not be able to achieve much in a big city like the Southern Region, but now, he finally realized just how much he underestimated Leon! The fact that Leon managed to build connections with the Dragon Corps themselves proved to be an incredible feat that not even the major families could have achieved, much less any ordinary man! His impression of Leon changed entirely! "Marvelous Leon! He surprises us at every turn, and I truly wonder just how much he still has up his sleeve," Patrick and Damian were equally as delighted, grinning from ear to ear. Iris
"Fine! This ends here. We Hiltons and Golans will retreat now! Let's go, troops!" after a brief moment of contemplation, Devon finally decided to take the high road. After all, Leon could run, but he could not hide! Although Leon got lucky this time and managed to get away with three parties on his side, the Hiltons were certain that his luck would eventually run out! They would wait patiently until that day arrived, and then get rid of him once and for all! There was no need to act rashly at all—the perfect time would eventually come! "You want to run? Not so fast!" all of a sudden, Leon sneered. "Sirs, Seth, and Gordon acted under Joel's orders throughout all this, and so he's the mastermind behind all this! Please arrest him and give him the punishment he deserves!" he said solemnly. Since Joel remained impartial throughout all this, Leon previously mistakenly thought that he was not involved in Iris and Snow's kidnapping at all, but now, after Gordon's betrayal, he disc
"No, we can't let this go just like that! Sirs, Joel was the one who commanded Seth and Gordon to commit such a heinous crime, so you have to bring him back to the headquarters for interrogation!" Leon's face was calm, but there was a hint of authority in his tone that made everyone perk up. "Have you gone insane, Leon? Do you honestly think the Dragon Corps will arrest me just because you asked them to? Who do you think are?" Joel snickered, casting Leon a glance of disdain. The Hiltons were so powerful that as long as he did not get involved in murder or any crime of the sort, the Dragon Corps would not dare to lay a finger on him! Besides, he covered up his tracks very well and did not once hurt Leon or Iris himself at all! He could not believe that Leon, a nameless nobody from Springfield City, would have the audacity to command the Dragon Corps to arrest him! One would have to be out of their right mind to do this! "Ignore him, Joel! Let's go!" Devon scoffed. He, like
"Well, Elder Hiltons, I won't hesitate to let you know that we are acting on the Platinum Dragon Guard and Mister Glasbey's orders, so if you have any objection to that, you can talk to Mister Glasbey yourself! All in all, Joel has to come with us for interrogation!" Oliver said rather hesitantly when he sensed Devon's bubbling true energy. Considering the Hiltons' influence in the Southern region, he was concerned that just bringing up the Platinum Dragon Guard would not be sufficient to qualm Devon's rage, and so he decided to add Mister Glasbey's name to the mix. "Well," Devon's expression darkened, but his aura dimmed when he heard this. If Oliver and Abraham acted on their own accord, they would have overstepped their line and the Hiltons would have had a perfect reason to retaliate, but now, everything changed after knowing that they were acting on the Platinum Dragon Guard and Mister Glasbey's orders! They were especially intimidated by Mister Glasbey—he was the highes
After they left, Oliver hesitated for a moment, then strode over to Leon's side. "Mister Wolf, I have something I need to discuss with you in private," he muttered. "Sure." Leon nodded. With that, Angus, Alan, Iris, and Snow unanimously took a few steps backward, giving Leon and Oliver the privacy they needed. "What did you want to talk to me about, Oliver?" Leon asked dubiously. "Sir, there has been news about the other criminals that you asked Abraham and me to track down a few days ago. We heard from the Western region branch of the Dragon Corps that they have eyes on the eighth man of the Criminal List, Poisonwielder," Oliver explained. "I see!" Leon finally understood why Oliver and Abraham showed up at the Scammells' place all of a sudden. It turned out that they traveled all the way here to bring this news to him, but stumbled upon the Hiltons' invasion by accident! "Who's this Poisonwielder, Oliver? How powerful is he?" Leon asked. He specifically instructed Olive
"Oh, no wonder!" Leon finally understood after Oliver's explanation, but could not help feeling his heart sink at the realization that Poisonwielder would be an even harder opponent to defeat than Asmodeus! He crossed paths with Asmodeus once before and thus already knew just how ruthless a criminal could be. Considering that Poisonwielder was even more powerful than Asmodeus, one could safely assume that defeating him would be significantly harder, especially since Leon was only at the Advanced Emperor State. However, on second thought, Leon realized that since the Dragon Corps managed to track Poisonwielder down, they would surely send plenty of martial artists to go after him, and this responsibility would not fall onto his shoulders. After all, he was a non-staff personnel, and tasks like this were not a part of his job scope. However, before he could even finish this thought, what Oliver said next made his jaw drop. "Sir, Mister Glasbey heard that you wanted to gain cont
"Hello, Leon. What's up?" Alfred's chirrupy voice rang out from the other end of the line. "Mister Glasbey, I want to talk to you about something. I got into some trouble with the Hiltons this time," Leon then explained everything that happened to Alfred. After all, Oliver used Alfred's name to scare Devon into handing Joel over for interrogation and to prevent Devon from stirring up trouble, Leon was obliged to notify Alfred about this beforehand. Alfred fell silent upon hearing this. "What's wrong, Mister Glasbey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Leon asked dubiously. "I can't believe you! You arrested Rodney Spears for no reason just a few weeks ago, and now you've done the same with Joel Hiltons! You can't just arrest people without concrete evidence of their wrongdoings like this! You're getting more and more daring, and I don't mean this in a good way!" Alfred snapped rather indignantly. The Dragon Corps were responsible for maintaining peace and rarely got involve
