"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
"Oh!"Everyone was instantly rendered speechless by Leon's words.They thought that Leon was being headstrong as the leader of the reinforcement team from the southern region, but what Leon said instantly gave them clarity on the situation.They knew that Leon was right and if they went after the Poisonwielder, it might be exactly what the Poisonwielder wanted and he would simply circle back to the Tidderton Mansions once it was left unguarded."Mister Wolf, you might be right, but the Poisonwielder has already escaped and it's unlikely that he will circle back. I think you're worried over nothing. Please just save my grandson," Elder Tidderton said hesitantly.Though what Leon suggested was sensible, it was only a theory and since the Poisonwielder succeeded in leaving, it seemed unlikely for him to return immediately.The thought that his grandson was abducted filled Elder Tidderton's mind and he could not think of anything else.""Well, Elder Tidderton is right. It's unlikely
"That's right! Fletcher, the Poisonwielder has my grandson. Please help to save him!" Seeing how Leon refused to go after the Poisonwielder, Elder Tidderton could only turn to Fletcher and the western region Dragon Corps for help in saving his grandson."But!" Fletcher hesitated.Before he could make a decision, Leon spoke out once again. "Don't worry, Elder Tidderton! As I said, it's the motherwort that the Poisonwielder is after! If I'm not mistaken, he took your grandson because he wished to use your grandson as a bargaining chip in exchange for the motherwort! Hence, before he succeeds in doing so, he wouldn't dare to hurt your grandson," Leon said."Oh!"The Tiddertons and members of the western region Dragon Corps instantly realized that, as Leon concluded, all of the Poisonwielder actions were carried out with the sole purpose of obtaining the motherwort.As long as the motherwort was within the Tiddertons' possession, Elder Tidderton's grandson would be safe for now. Howev
"The Poisonwielder!"Everyone froze in disbelief.They all assumed that the Poisonwielder ran after capturing Elder Tiddertons' grandson, and never imagined that he would lurk in the dark to keep an eye on the Dragon Guards' movement, which completely caught them off guard."Damn it! How sly!" Fletcher and the others snapped out of it and gasped in fear as they felt chills down their spines.They mistakenly assumed that the Poisonwielder was on the run and wanted to go after him. When Leon stopped them from doing so, a lot of them thought that Leon was being a coward.It was not until this very moment that they finally realized how brilliant Leon was.If Leon did not stop them from leaving, the Poisonwielder would be able to torture the Tiddertons as he pleased and obtain the motherwort with ease as soon as the Dragon Guards stepped foot out of the mansion.If that happened, their mission to eliminate the Poisonwielder would fail.Their hearts were instantly heavy, but at the s
"I see! I suppose you must be talented in some way to be recruited into the Dragon Corps at such a young age!" The Poisonwielder commented.Since Leon and his team just arrived earlier that day, he did not know anything about Leon, nor was he aware that Leon was a Platinum Dragon Guard.Judging from Leon's appearance, he could faintly tell that Loen was still in his twenties and assumed that Leon was only a low-level Gold Dragon Guard, so he was not threatened by Leon's presence at all.Naturally, if he knew that Leon was a Platinum Dragon Guard, he would not have underestimated Leon."Whoever you are, you ruined my plan and I'm going to skin you alive for that!" The Poisonwielder said maliciously.Before Leon could react, Fletcher snapped out of it and said, "You are the one who will die today, Poisonwielder! How dare you stick around after what you've done to the Tiddertons? the Dragon Corps will eliminate you to maintain the order of our community!"He waved his arm and the Dr
"What do you want, then?" Elder Tidderton asked."It's simple. You will hand the motherwort over now, and once I get my hands on it, I will let your grandson go!" The Poisonwielder said."That's not happening! What if you refuse to let him go even after you obtain the motherwort?" Elder Tidderton rejected him right away."Are you an idiot? I have your grandson, so you don't get to negotiate terms with me! You have three seconds to hand the motherwort over before I strangle your grandson to death!" The Poisonwielder threatened."Y- You wouldn't dare!" Elder Tidderton paled."You want to bet? One, two," The Poisonwielder snorted and started counting."Why you!" Elder Tidderton's expression darkened as he did not know what to do.He knew that the Poisonwielder was an infamous criminal who would never hesitate to kill. If he refused to hand over the motherwort, there was a high chance that the Poisonwielder would kill Carl and Elder Tidderton dared not to gamble with the life of his
