"The eastern region? Then it looks like we'll have to work with the eastern region's Dragon Corps!" Alfred said thoughtfully."Mister Glasbey, you mean you'll contact the experts there to work to pursue the Scarlet Thief together?" Leon quickly figured out Alfred's plan.The last time, Poisonwielder slipped into the area between the western and southern regions. The western region's Dragon Corps asked for help from the southern region's Dragon Corps in the same manner.With the Scarlet Thief slipping into the area between the southern and eastern regions, he guessed that Alfred was going to do the same thing!"Yes, that's right! The Scarlet Thief is too strong, and he's always in hiding. It's a bit of a struggle for just our men to deal with. If we have the eastern Dragon Corps' experts to help, it'll be easier for us to pursue the man," Alfred said with a low voice."That's right! However, I don't think it's necessary! Mister Glasbe, why don't you leave this to me? I'll deal with
"But-"Seeing Alfred reject his suggestion, Leon still did not want to give up. However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Alfred."There's nothing else to discuss! The matter is settled!" Alfred said in a firm voice, leaving no room for negotiation."Fine then," Leon opened his mouth and stopped there.Alfred already made up his mind, so there was nothing much Leon could say.Furthermore, Alfred planned on working with the eastern Dragon Corps experts to deal with Scarlet Thief. It was not a bad plan!If the two Dragon Corps working together would be able to deal with Scarlet Thief, then it would be great!Instead, if they failed to deal with Scarlet Thief, it would not be too late for him to do something after that!Of course, if Scarlet Thief fled to any of the other regions, it would take a lot more time and effort to deal with the man!He had no other choice in the matter!"Mister Glasbey, it's getting late. If you don't have any other orders, I'll take
"The Head Guardian is right! Leon doesn't have any foundation or power in the Southern Region, and the three guardians are working in the dark!""No matter how skilled Leon is, he won't be able to escape it!"The other experts from the Spears quickly agreed with the Head Guardian's view.All of them knew how strong the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Guardians were.In particular, the Third Guardian was already at the Almighty State!He was already considered one of the top martial artists in the southern region!Meanwhile, Leon was just someone from the younger generation. At the very most, his skills should only be at Rodney's level, being around the intermediate Emperor State!Even though Leon had a peak Emperor State or Semi Almighty State defensive treasure with him, the three guardians had more than enough power amongst them to deal with that treasure!They did not think that Leon would be able to deal with the Third Guardian's group with just one defensive treasure!That was an
"Sir, I just received news that the Third Guardian, the Fifth Guardian, and the Sixth Guardian have all been brought to the Dragon Corps. The southern region's Dragon Corps has also announced that they're going to imprison the three of them," That man said honestly."What?"The moment that was said, the whole place stood up in shock.They all thought that the Third Guardian's group should have already returned victoriously!Yet they never would have expected that the three of them not only failed, they were somehow caught by the Dragon Corps!It caught them completely off guard!It was obvious how shocked they were!Of course, they were not the only ones who were shocked, even the Southern Boss was completely caught off guard by the news!"Explain. What exactly happened? How did the Third Guardian's group get caught by the Dragon Corps for no reason?!" The Southern Boss asked that man with a dark look on his face.He ordered the Third Guardian's group to stay behind and assass
"T-that, I don't know." The man answered when faced with all those questions."You don't know?"The Southern King frowned. After that, he thought about it for a moment before he looked at an old man and a middle-aged man next to the Head Guardian, ordering, "Second Guardian, Fourth Guardian, the two of you go look into it right now. Find out what happened! Report back to me the moment you get any news!""Yes, Southern Boss!" The two of them accepted the order, and they left the hall in a hurry.The man who reported the situation left with them as well.After the Second and Fourth Guardians left."Despicable! Who's behind all this?! Could Leon have managed to capture the three of them alone?!" The Southern Boss slammed his hand on the desk. His expression was incredibly sour.He knew how strong the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Guardians were. The Third Guardian in particular was already at the Almighty State!With the Third Guardian's abilities, even if he was not able to kill Leon
After over half an hour.Frantic footsteps were suddenly heard. The Southern Boss and the others looked up and saw that the Second and Fourth Guardians already returned."We greet the Southern Boss."The two of them bowed respectfully to the Southern Boss."Second Guardian, Fourth Guardian, how did your task go? Did the two of you find any clues?" The Southern Boss asked. He wanted to figure out if the Thompsons had anything to do with the situation!"Sir, we've looked into it and found a piece of information. Leon managed to recruit a martial arts expert to join Cynthion Group in the afternoon.""His name is Henry Yates, and is a wandering expert. He's also very possibly at the Almighty State."The two of them reported the situation, explaining what they learned.The two of them guessed that Henry probably interfered with the three guardians killing Leon, so they immediately returned to report it."Henry Yates? Who is he?" The Southern Boss looked uncertain when he heard that
"Sir, I'm not very sure how strong he is right now, but I've already been at the Almighty State for some time. I think his skills should be around my level, so he should be at around the initial Almighty State," The Second Guardian said.Since Henry was pursued by Scarlet Thief for the past few years, Henry did not really show up. So, he did not know of Henry's condition and did not know how strong Henry was.However, over ten years ago, Scarlet Thief and Henry were more or less at his level, or even stronger than he was. After that, the Southern Boss started to rise. He joined the Southern Boss and was taught an Ultimate Power Class Method. So, he slowly managed to get to the Almighty State!Henry and Scarlet Thief both obtained an Ultimate Power Class Method before. Even though Scarlet Thief took it in the end, Henry still saw it. Henry might have memorized a part of it.It had been so many years. Scarlet Thief's skills increased dramatically, with the man reaching the intermed
"Sir, that's right! However, don't forget. Leon's no slouch either. He doesn't just have a protective treasure, he also has those poisoned needles! With his abilities, on top of Henry being at the Almighty State, the three of them might have accidentally fallen for some trap. It's not outside the realm of possibility," The Second Guardian said seriously."That-"The southern Boss and everyone else fell silent at that.The Southern Boss in particular finally recalled that they were not just dealing with Henry, who was at the Almighty State, there was also Leon, who was full of tricks!Even though he felt like Leon was not that strong, he learned from the Hiltons that Leon's protective treasure is very possibly at the Semi Almighty State!Furthermore, Leon had his poisoned needles as well!With Leon's poisoned needles and his treasure, the Fifth and Sixth Guardians, who were at the Semi Almighty State, might not be able to do anything to Leon!On top of that, the Third Guardian mi
