"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
"But," Scott, Chad, and Jerry opened their mouths hesitantly when they heard Leon turning down the Detox paste offered by Fletcher.Since they already convinced themselves that Leon obtained his status through connections, none of them believed that Leon's Essential Detox Pills could counter the Poisonwielder's Reaper’s Breath.The three of them desperately wanted to accept the Detox paste, but Leon turned it down as their leader, so they could not possibly argue with Leon. Hence, they all smiled bitterly and swallowed the words rolling on their tongues."Mister Wolf, if you and your team don't need the Detox paste, that's fine!" Fletcher said, before putting the Detox paste away."How insolent!""Fletcher offered him the Detox paste out of kindness and he turned it down!""Yeah, the damage of having an incompetent leader is worse than having an incompetent soldier!""He's already acting all smug now because he was appointed as leader. Who knows how arrogant he will become later
"Lure him out? It sounds good, but I'm afraid it might not work," Leon said thoughtfully."Why not?" Fletcher was slightly taken by shock.He already discussed it with the Tiddertons and they all agreed that luring the Poisonwielder out was the best solution so far, so it was surprising to hear that Leon was against the plan."The Poisonwielder sounds like a careful man. If we use the motherwort as bait, he will definitely be able to tell that it's a trap, so it's unlikely that he would fall for it," Leon said.Though he did not deal with the Poisonwielder before, he faced similar villains like Joel and Harold, so he saw countless schemes in the past.As one of the wanted individuals on the criminal list, Leon knew that the Poisonwielder was no fool if he managed to evade the Dragon Corps' ambush repeatedly.Fletcher's plan seemed so obvious that a man with the Poisonwielder's wit and power would not fall for it."How would you know if you don't try it?" A mid-aged man snorted.
"No! Fletcher the plot hole for this plan is too big and you might just give the Poisonwielder the chance he's been looking for! If he takes the opportunity to harm someone in the Tiddertons, we will leave in a passive position," Leon said thoughtfully.Though it sounded like a brilliant plan to lure the Poisonwielder out, the Poisonwielder might risk everything to kidnap members of the Tiddertons instead and use them as hostages to threaten the Tiddertons into handing the motherwort over.Should that happen, the Dragon Corps and the Tiddertons would be left at a great disadvantage."Impossible! Mister Wolf, the Poisonwielder wouldn't dare to attack the Tiddertons with all of us here to protect them!" A mid-aged man sneered and mocked Leon for overthinking."That's right!""The Poisonwielder hasn't shown his face for the past two days. If he has the guts to face the Dragon Corps directly, he would hide himself!"...The other members of the western region Dragon Corps disagreed
In the inner courtyard, Leon, Elder Tidderton, and the others arrived to find dozens of bodies in blood; some were beheaded and some died with their eyes wide open."Damn you, the Poisonwielder!""The Tiddertons won't forget this!"Elder Tidderton and the other elders widened their eyes in rage at the gory scene.Since they were in the inner courtyard of Tiddertons Mansion, the martial artists killed by the Poisonwielder were mostly members of the Tiddertons family and were all related to Elder Tidderton and the other elders in some way.They could barely contain their rage when they saw how their kin died horribly at the hands of the Poisonwielder."Elder Tidderton, my condolences," Fletcher sighed.All members of the western region of Dragon Corps had a dark looks on their faces."Fletcher, not only has the Poisonwielder come into my house to kill my family, he took my grandson! If I'm not mistaken, he shouldn't have gone far! Please send your men after him to save my grandso
"What? We can't go after the Poisonwielder?! Why not?" Fletcher and other members of the western region branch gaped at Leon in disbelief.The Poisonwielder just fled the Tiddertons Mansion and should not have gone far, so it was the perfect chance for them to go after him and none of them understood why Leon would refuse to cooperate.Since Leon was the leader of the reinforcement from the southern region, Scott and the others had to obey him. If the reinforcement team refused to help, the members from the western region alone would not be sufficient to eliminate the Poisonwielder."M- Mister Wolf, I'm begging you! My grandson has been taken. Please have mercy and save him," Elder Tidderton pleaded.He did not understand why Leon would refuse to go after the Poisonwielder but knew for certain that without the Dragon Corps' help, his grandson would likely perish in the hand of the Poisonwielder.The longer they waited, the more dangerous the situation would be for his grandson, so
