"Mister Glasbey, could you have made a mistake?" Scott snapped out of it and asked. Both Chad and Jerry found it difficult to believe that Leon was a Platinum Dragon Guard. "It's not a mistake! Leon might not be in the Almighty State just yet, but he was able to kill one of the eight criminals, Asmodeus, all by himself! I assume he isn't far from reaching the Almighty State!" Alfred deadpanned. "So he was the one who killed Asmodeus!" Scott and the other two were absolutely flabbergasted. Though Asmodeus was only a martial artist in the Semi-Almighty State, he was a sly man who possessed an Almighty Weapon, the Cuff of Doom. Even martial artists in the Initial Almighty State might struggle to defeat Asmodeus alone. If Leon managed to kill Asmodeus, it would mean that Leon was just as formidable. However, they soon realized that it did not seem possible for Leon to defeat Asmodeus on his own if he was not in the Almighty State unless he had the help of someone far more p
"Since all six of you are going to assist the Dragon Corps in the western region, you will need a leader! I hereby appoint Leon to be the leader, and all of you will have to heed his command!" Alfred said. "What?" "You are naming him the leader?" "It… It can't be!" Scott and the other two were stunned and disappointed. They assumed that Leon was a powerless man who rose to his current rank through his connection to someone important. Out of their respect for Alfred, the three of them would be fine to let Leon join them and obtain some contribution points from the mission. However, Alfred caught them by surprise by appointing Leon as the leader. It meant that Leon would obtain the most contribution points once the mission was accomplished. None of them could accept it, knowing that their hard work in risking their lives to kill Poisonwielder would end up being credited to Leon. "Mister Glasbey, I think you are being reckless to name Mister Wolf the leader! In terms of expe
"My decision is final! Scott, Leon might be young, but he's incredibly gifted, especially in medicine! He has already found a way to counter the Reaper's Breath. I'm certain that appointing him as the leader will help with the mission!" Alfred deadpanned. "What?!" "Mister Glasbey, did you just say that he found a way to counter the Reaper's Breath?" "Seriously?!" The three were stunned. Given the Dragon Corps' power, it would never have considered Poisonwielder as a threat if he was only a formidable martial artist in the Almighty State. The Dragon Corps in the western region had sought the southern region's help mainly because of Poisonwielder's unparalleled skills in poison-making. Among all poisons he had, his Reaper's Breath was colorless and odorless, so one would easily fall victim to it. On top of that, Poisonwielder was sly and experienced in hiding his tracks, so the Dragon Corps would still find it difficult even if they sent a few Platinum Dragon Guards after P
"Alright! It's settled! If none of you have anything else to say, you can all head toward the western region now!" Alfred said. "But we..." Scott, Chad, and Jerry voiced out hesitantly. Since they concluded that Leon obtained his status through connection and was too young to lead, none of them could accept that Leon had the capability to be their leader. However, Alfred was the person in charge of the southern region branch. Since he was determined to appoint Leon as the leader, the trio knew better than to argue, as they did not wish to cross Alfred. They all sighed inwardly in resignation before reluctantly accepting the arrangement. "Leon, take this mask! You are considered non-staff personnel, and it's best that you keep your identity hidden. Remember to cover your face with this mask once you arrive in the western region. If possible, create a pseudonym for yourself and be careful not to let anyone know your real identity!" Alfred said before handing Leon a golden mask.
Poisonwielder's movement did not escape the Dragon Corps' attention, and they had come to conclude that he was targeting the motherwort to increase his power or strengthen his poison. The Dragon Corps instantly dispatched a group of martial artists over to the Tiddertons Mansion to protect the Tiddertons from Poisonwielder and also search for him. Since Poisonwielder was extremely skilled in hiding himself, none of the martial artists sent by the Dragon Corps had managed to find him in the past two days. On the other hand, Poisonwielder dared not attack the Tiddertons due to the Dragon Corps' interference. ... Leon had arrived at the Tiddertons Mansion along with the others based on the information he received from Alfred. They went into the living room and spotted dozens of martial artists from the western region Dragon Corps, along with the elders of the Tiddertons, who were gathering to discuss strategies to be used against Poisonwielder. When Leon, Scott, and the others
"Fletcher, allow me to introduce you to Mister Wolf..." Scott pointed at Leon and made a brief introduction. "What?" "That's... Mister Wolf?" Fletcher and the other members of the western region Dragon Corps turned to look at Leon, and their jaws dropped instantly. Leon had put on the golden mask to cover his face, so none of them could see what Leon looked like. However, based on Leon's figure, it was not hard to tell that he was a young man in his twenties. The mission to eliminate Poisonwielder was extremely dangerous. Since there was no room for mistakes, it would make more sense for the southern region Dragon Corps to assign Scott as the leader. To their bewilderment, they had assigned a young man as the leader. The arrangement caught all of them off guard. "What's the meaning of this, Scott? Are you mocking the western region Dragon Corps?" asked a middle-aged man beside Fletcher in a sharp tone. "That's right!" "This brat's even wearing a mask to hide his face!
"It's over. The southern region branch's name is in the dirt!" Scott, Chad, and Jerry blushed in embarrassment.Though the three of them were upset that Leon was selected as their leader, Leon belonged to the southern region branch and represented them all, so they were all frustrated that Leon was being mocked.Contrary to their embarrassment, Leon alone remained composed and unwavering.Since the members of the western region Dragon Corps already developed a prejudice against Leon, instead of seeing Leon's composure as a redeeming quality, they simply assumed that Leon was only remaining quiet because he felt guilty, which only deepened the contempt they felt toward him."Alright, that's enough!" Seeing that the situation was escalating, Fletcher roared, effectively stopping the members of the western region Dragon Corps from mocking Leon. "Mister Wolf, I'm sorry about my subordinates’ rudeness. Please find it in your heart to forgive them," Fletcher apologized on behalf of the o
"Fletcher, there are about twenty Essential Detox Pills in this flask and it's made specifically for the Dragon Guards in the western region. Please distribute them to your team, just in case," Leon handed Fletcher a jade flask."It's fine! Mister Wolf, we came prepared as well! We hired an extremely talented doctor in the western region to produce the Detox Paste, which should be sufficient in countering the effect of the Reaper’s Breath!" Fletcher said and shook his head."Detox Paste? What's that?" Leon was surprised to learn that Fletcher already found a solution, but soon came to realize that given how powerful the Reaper’s Breath was and that even Alfred went through the lengths of seeking Leon's help, it was normal for the western region branch to seek the help of other medical experts to maximize their chance in defeating the Poisonwielder.However, there was no telling whether the Essential Detox Pills or the Detox Paste worked better."This is the Detox paste," Fletcher s
