"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
"That's okay! Don't worry, Leon, I'm not sending you out alone! I'll also assign a Platinum Dragon Guard, who is also an Almighty Warrior, and a few other Golden Dragon Guards to go with you! With so many people, as well as the representatives from the Western region branch, I'm sure that killing Poisonwielder will be as easy as ABC!" Alfred replied, chuckling. "Oh, okay!" Leon finally understood. "Well, since that's your plan, why aren't you going to send out two Platinum Dragon Guards instead? Why do you insist on letting me go?" he asked quizzically. Since Poisonwielder was at the Initial Almighty State, it would make more sense to send out two Platinum Dragon Guards that were more powerful than him. With the help of the Western region branch representatives, killing Poisonwielder would be significantly easier! However, Alfred was choosing to go the riskier route and sent Leon out instead! Leon could not help wondering why Alfred chose to do so when there was a better optio
"I understand. I will try my best..." Leon said. He thought that Alfred wanted his help to defeat Poisonwielder and that he would only be in the way due to his lack of power. After Leon was told that Poisonwielder was a skilled poison maker and that the Dragon Corps needed Leon's help to produce an antidote against the poison, he agreed to it without hesitation, as it was his duty as a member of the Dragon Corps. "Mister Glasbey, there's a wide variety of Reaper's Breath. Do you have any information about it that you can send to me? I'll try and see if I can produce an antidote for it!" Leon said. Reaper's Breath was produced with a combination of five poisonous plants. Since there was no fixed combination to it, there was no fixed antidote for the poison either. There were hundreds of types of poisonous plants in the world, and Leon needed to know which five plants Poisonwielder used to produce the Reaper's Breath in order to produce its antidote. It would be much easier t
"Mister Wolf, I'll take my leave if there aren't any further instructions." Seeing how Leon had ended the call, Oliver bid his farewell and left by car with Abraham and Joel to report back to Alfred. Once they had left, Angus, Alan, Iris, and the others gathered around. "Mister Wolf, I'm so sorry for falsely accusing you of trying to kill Darius. We've wronged you. Please accept my sincerest apology," Alan said apologetically and bowed toward Leon earnestly before turning to glare at Dawn. "Dawn, you've allowed yourself to jump to conclusions thoughtlessly and almost got both Mister Wolf and your brother killed! Come over here to apologize to Mister Wolf and beg for his forgiveness." "I..." Tears welled in Dawn's eyes as she was too embarrassed to face Leon. Leon tried to tell them that Gordon was the one who poisoned Darius repeatedly, but since Gordon was her husband, she almost got Leon and Darius killed by listening to Gordon. She was shaken to the core, and her heart was
"It's fine. He's a member of your family, after all. You should decide what to do with him," Leon said thoughtfully. Not only had Gordon kidnapped Snow, but he also plotted to frame Leon and Snow for the murder of Darius. Leon resented him for it. Nevertheless, Gordon was still a member of the Hughes, and it would be inappropriate for Leon to punish Gordon in front of them, so he decided to hand Gordon over to the Hughes instead. Since Gordon came close to killing Darius, there was no doubt in Leon's mind that the Hughes would not spare Gordon. "Well... Alright, then. Mister Wolf, if that's everything, we'll be taking our leave now." Alan did not reject Leon's offer and left with the Hughes, along with Gordon in their custody. With that, the chaos came to an end. Leon did not know what the Hughes did to Gordon, but he did not see Gordon again in the southern region after that. One could only imagine the horrible fate Gordon must have suffered. ... After Alan and the Hug
