"We didn't." August shook his head."You didn't? Mister Thompson, you need evidence to make accusations! Since you didn't see Leon kill Mister Yonas, you shouldn't jump to conclusion!" Leon said."But," August opened his mouth to argue but was instantly interrupted by Leon."That's enough! Mister Thompson, are you doubting the Dragon Corps authority and ability?" Leon questioned sharply."I- That's not what I mean," August said hastily.Though the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region with close to no rival, the Dragon Corps was a special organization that ruled over the southern region and wielded far more power than the Thompsons.Since Leon was a high-level Platinum Dragon Guard, August dared not to defy him directly, knowing that enraging Leon would not be beneficial to the Thompsons.He quieted down at this thought."Elder Thompsons, according to what we've found so far, Mister Yonas's death likely has something to do with the Demon Lord. I'd like
"Don't worry, Elder Thompson! I have some experience in the medical field. All I need is to see Mister Yonas's wound, so there's no need for me to cut him open," Leon said with a smile."I see. Very well. Mister Wolf, please follow me. I'll take you to Yonas's body."Arthur instantly relaxed upon learning that Yonas's body would not be cut open and led the three Dragon Guards out of the guest room, and into the main hall.In the main hall, Yonas's body was currently being placed in an ice coffin.Arthur commanded two other members of the family to open the coffin and Leon swiftly went over to lift Yonas's eyelids, before touching his chest to begin the examination.Shortly after, he found something and his expression darkened."Mister Wolf, how is it? Have you found anything?" Arthur asked."Yeah, I did! Mister Yonas has taken a second blow to the chest by someone of tremendous power. His entire internal circulation was damaged because of his second blow and that's what caused h
Before Leon could argue, Oliver instantly spoke out to defend Leon. "Mister Thompson, you are wrong! You may not know this, but Mister Wolf is extremely skilled in medicine even if he's not an official doctor!""That's right! The Dragon Corps in the southern and western regions collaborated to hunt the Poisonwielder down before this, but the Reaper’s Breath the Poisonwielder had was so powerful that none of us can do anything about it. Mister Wolf was the one who produced the antidote and led us to success in the elimination of the Poisonwielder," Abraham agreed along, praising Leon's skills."What? That happened?!" Both Arthur and August were stunned.They both heard about the Poisonwielder in the past and knew about the Reaper’s Breath he used.It was precise because of the Reaper’s Breath that the Dragon Corps in the western region struggled to capture the Poisonwielder.However, upon learning that Leon produced an antidote for the Reaper’s Breath and assisted the Dragon Guards
Once the three left, Arthur gritted out coldly, "Damn the Demon Lord! August, arrange our men to look around for the Demon Lords. Once we find something, report to me right away so we can join forces with the Dragon Corps to take the Demon Lord down!"After what Leon said, Arthur was misled into believing that the Demon Lord was responsible for Yonas's death.Though the Demon Lord was powerful and the Thompsons may not be able to face him alone, the Thompsons were still the head of all families in the southern region with countless connections.With the Thompsons' help to track the Demon Lord down, the Dragon Corps would have an easier time finding the Demon Lord; with the Thompsons and the Dragon Corps on the same side, they might be able to kill the Demon Lord and avenge Yonas."Dad, calm down for a second! There are still a lot of things that seem weird. The Demon Lord might not be the killer! We can't act recklessly," August said thoughtfully."Weird? What's weird?" Arthur ask
"Anyway, Angus and Leon already promised to find out about the truth in three days! Let's just wait! Besides, Mister Wolf said that the Dragon Corps will continue to investigate the matter. If the Demon Lord turns out to the be culprit, we will then join forces with the Dragon Corps!" August summarized."Yeah. You're right! Let's just wait!" Arthur nodded and accepted August's advice....Meanwhile, on Leon's end, he parted ways with Oliver and Abraham and drove home on his one.In the mansion in the Heavenly Waters Estate, Leon arrived home just in time for Iris, Cynthia, and the others to return from work as well; along with them were Angus and a dozen of martial artists from the Thompsons.Amongst the member, there were two elders and a few core members of the Thompsons.When Angus defended Leon, he was cast out of the family and had to leave with some of his supporters.He did not want the Thompsons to grow apart and always believed that Leon was wrongfully accused. Hence, h
"It's about time, Yuri! I sent you to look into Fiona's background. How did it go?" Angus asked hastily."Dad, this Fiona girl seems to be using an alibi so I can't find anything about her," Yuri shook his head.Though Angus was chased out of the family, the first bloodline of the Thompsons still held a certain level of power. However, despite exhausting all connections, they could not find anything about Fiona, which led to two possibilities: she was either using a fake name, or someone else with power hid all information about Fiona."What?" Angus was shocked and his heart sank at the update.Leon found out why Yonas died, and Fiona had no power to murder Yonas on her own, so both Angus and Leon already concluded that someone else was pulling the strings.At that moment, Fiona became the key suspect and witness to finding the truth.If he and Leon wanted to uncover the true culprit behind Yonas's murder, they had to rely on Fiona to expose the mastermind.Furthermore, since Ar
"What? The son of the Southern Boss, Rodney? So, it's him!"After hearing Yuri's account, Leon and Angus were taken aback."I get it! Fiona is most likely connected to Rodney. Mister Yonas must have fallen for Rodney's seductive scheme!" Leon suddenly realized, feeling a sense of clarity.He now investigated Yonas's cause of death and deduced that Fiona's involvement with Yonas was premeditated, intending to kill him and frame Leon. Meanwhile, Yonas saved Fiona from Rodney's clutches and established a romantic relationship.The coincidences lined up too perfectly, indicating that Rodney and Fiona staged this whole affair.Moreover, the Southern Boss and his son, Rodney, held deep grudges against Leon, even attempting to kill him multiple times, but each attempt failed.Burdened with false accusations and estranged from the Thompsons, Leon landed right where the Southern Boss and Rodney wanted him and they could easily eliminate Leon by manipulating Arthur and the other Thompsons.
"Mister Wolf, what should we do now?" Angus asked, appearing somewhat troubled.Both he and Leon already deduced that Rodney was likely the culprit behind Yonas' murder. However, it was not an easy task to gather evidence for what to do next."We need evidence to punish the culprit," Leon replied, contemplating for a moment. "Currently, Fiona is the key. Our immediate priority should be to find her as soon as possible. Once we locate her, everything can be resolved."Given that Fiona was the only person with knowledge of the crime scene and a witness, if they managed to apprehend her, Leon and Angus had the means to extract the truth from her.With Fiona's testimony, Leon's name would be cleared and Arthur could also retaliate against the Southern Boss and seek justice.It would be a win-win situation."Well, alright, I'll arrange for people to find Fiona!" Angus nodded. "I'll leave no stone unturned and find her!"Although Yuri was not able to uncover Fiona's identity and backg
