"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
"Um, alright. We'll do that! I'll hand over the hostage and you will hand over the motherwort at the same time!" The Poisonwielder nodded and agreed to Leon's suggestion."Mister Wolf, please hand me the motherwort. I'll do the exchange!" Fletcher said.Since the Poisonwielder was an Almighty martial artist and was notoriously known for his ruthlessness, Leon was far too young and weak to rival his power and he would be in danger if Leon carried out the trade.Hence, it would be safer for Fletcher to trade with the Poisonwielder instead."Oh. Sure!" Leon knew that he was not powerful enough and did not refuse Fletcher's offering. He placed the motherwort back into its box and was about to hand it over to Fletcher, when the Poisonwielder stopped him."No! Kid, you were the one who proposed, so you have to be the one to make the trade if you want the hostage back! Don't try to get others to do your work for you!" The Poisonwielder said viciously and narrowed his eyes."Why shouldn'
"But,"Fletcher and the others wanted to warn Leon against underestimating the Poisonwielder, but were interrupted before they could say anything."That's enough! It's settled! Let's see what he is capable of!" Leon sneered and strode toward the Poisonwielder with the motherwort.Fletcher and the others exchanged worried looks.There were a few of them who thought that Leon was a coward for not going after the Poisonwielder, yet at this very moment, Leon remained fearless and offered to trade with the Poisonwielder at the risk of his safety.A man as bold as him could never be a coward.Shocked by Leon's boldness, they were all confused as to why Leon was so confident."Very well! As expected of a Dragon Guard!" The Poisonwielder laughed but narrowed his eyes maliciously at the same time.Leon spotted his attempt of luring the Dragon Guards away from the Tiddertons Mansion earlier and showed unparalleled bravery for facing him directly.The Poisonwielder knew that a man like L
