"What? Are they all waiting for Hugh?" Realization dawned on Diego. He knew that Hugh's room lay ahead and all these people were likely waiting for Hugh. Still, he soon felt that something was off. Leon was merely an insignificant young man, so there was no reason for all these influential figures to wait outside his room. It seemed impossible. "Milo, are you sure that is Hugh's room? Can you be mistaken?" A thought crossed his mind and he turned to Milo, suspecting that there was an issue with his investigation. Enzo felt the same and turned to Milo in confusion. "No! Sir, I investigated in detail and there can't be any mistake. I guarantee that we are looking at Hugh's room right now," Milo said confidently. "Well," Both Diego and Enzo were stunned. They knew that Milo was a cautious man and it was unlikely that he was mistaken. Since he was certain, the room ahead probably belonged to Hugh, which meant that Caleb and the others were all waiting for Hugh. How wa
On Leon's end, he followed Roman to the Morrisons' mansion and obtained the Rainbow Fruit. After bidding farewell, he followed Fletcher to the Dragon Corps. Just then, he received a call from Hugo and learned that the Morrisons agreed to his terms, intending to work with Cynthion Group. He came to the western region specifically to establish a partnership with the Morrisons to expand Cynthion Group's market. The Morrisons agreeing to the terms worked perfectly to his advantage. Initially, he wanted to hurry back to the hotel to discuss further terms with Caleb and the others. However, he already agreed to go to the Dragon Corps and Fletcher was extremely sincere when he extended the invitation, so Leon could not possibly go back on his words. Hence, he could only tell Hugo and the others to wait at home and they could discuss further when he came back. Fletcher felt glad that he followed Leon to the Morrisons' mansion, after all. Otherwise, Leon might have given up on g
"Mister Wolf, let's go in as well. Ever since Mister Orpwood knew about what happened with the Poisonwielder, he has been desperate to meet you. I'll take you to him first and then to a few other old friends. how about it?" Fletcher asked. "Sure. I want to talk to Mister Orpwood about the Southern Boss as well!" Leon nodded. He followed Fletcher to the Dragon Corps' office because of his enthusiastic invitation to reunite with a few old friends. On the other hand, he already found out that the Southern Boss was hiding in the western region and committed horrible crimes. Hence, he needed to discuss with Mister Orpwood and seek his help to track the Southern Boss down. After all, the western region was vast and no one knew where the Southern Boss was hiding. Leon could not possibly find the Southern Boss on his own. If he had the help of Mister Orpwood and the Dragon Guards, it would be much easier. "Also, do I have permission to tell others about your actual identity?" Fletc
"Fletcher, why are you doing this?" Howard sighed when he heard Mister Orpwood. He already told Fletcher not to bring an outsider into the building. Yet, Fletcher refused to listen to reasons and even brought Leon to meet Mister Orpwood. This was foolish of him and he would likely be punished for it. However, what happened next shook him. "Mister Orpwood, this is Mister Hugh Wolf. He's not an outsider," Fletcher said. Just as he was about to inform Mister Orpwood of Leon's identity, he was interrupted. "Hugh Wolf? That sounds so familiar," Mister Orpwood was taken aback and soon recalled something. Sensing his shock, Fletcher smiled and explained, "Mister Orpwood, he's the one who took the Poisonwielder down on his own." "What? It is him! Wonderful!" Mister Orpwood was shocked and stood abruptly. When he heard the name Hugh, he already guessed who Loen was. Upon hearing Fletcher's affirmation, he burst into laughter. "Mister Wolf, we've finally met again! I've alrea
"I see!" Realization dawned on Howard. He finally understood why Fletcher insisted on inviting Leon here, but soon realized that something was off. "Fletcher, the Poisonwielder is formidable. Though Mister Wolf is capable considering his age, there's still a gap between him and the Poisonwielder. How could he possibly defeat the Poisonwielder on his own?" Howard asked hesitantly. He fought Leon earlier on the mountain and Leon could not even take a single blow from him. This would mean that Leon was in the Semi-Almighty State at best. As one of the eight criminals, the Poisonwielder long reached the Initial Almighty State and was just a few steps away from the Intermediate Almighty State. This made him much stronger than Leon, so Howard could not understand how Leon managed to kill the Poisonwielder. "Well, I don't know what happened, but I think Mister Wolf possesses a treasure in the Intermediate Almighty State and he probably used it against the Poisonwielder," Fletcher
"Oh, is that so? Mister Orpwood, do tell what Mister Wolf is capable of." Howard did not take what Mister Orpwood said seriously. Though Leon was strong for a young man, the top martial artists in the Thirteen Greats were comparable to Leon as well and Howard saw no reason to put Leon in such high regard. From his perspective, Leon was only lucky enough to obtain a powerful treasure and he did not think that Leon possessed actual strength apart from that. It was not like he could defeat the Poisonwielder without the treasure. However, what happened next shook him to his core. "Howard, I'll tell you the truth. Mister Wolf here took down the Demon Lord recently and injured the Southern Boss. Hades showed up at the last moment and ran with the Southern Boss. If even the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss can't defeat him, no treasure could affect Mister Wolf's true power," Mister Oprwood said. The Demon Lord ranked third place on the criminal list and was so for over a decade. E
"Of course! Alfred from the Dragon Corps in the southern region told me this, so how can it be wrong? Mister Wolf is probably stronger than even me," Mister Orpwood nodded with respect. He once saw Hug, but Hugh wore a mask at the time to cover his face so this was the second time he met Hugh. When he first saw Hugh, Hugh took down the Poisonwielder all by himself, and now, he took the Demon Lord down as well. Leon's righteousness impressed him. On top of that, the Demon Lord was close to reaching the Peak Almighty State. Though Mister Orpwood himself recently reached the Peak Almighty State as well using the rare herbs found in the western region, the Demon Lord was known to be ruthless and cunning. If they fought, he may not be able to defeat the Southern Boss, not to mention if he teamed up with the Southern Boss, who was in the Advanced Almighty State. If they teamed up against him, even Mister Orpwood himself would be at a disadvantage. However, they ended up dead
"Um, Mister Caldicot, you're too kind. I just got lucky," Leon responded modestly after a moment of hesitation. He always preferred to keep a low profile. Though there were a few criminals who perished at his hand apart from the Poisonwielder and the Demon Lord, he never told the public about it to avoid trouble. However, Fletcher, Howard, and Mister Orpwood all knew that he eliminated the Demon Lord and injured the Southern Boss. Hence, he could only accept their compliment. "Mister Wolf, you are too modest. How can you kill the Demon Lord and injure the Demon Lord with just luck?" Fletcher shook his head with a smile. Suddenly, he recalled something and added, "I heard from the Dragon Guards in the southern region some time ago that Asmodeus and the Scarlet Thief were taken down recently as well. Mister Wolf, that can't possibly be your doing as well, right?" he joked. All the criminals on the list were cunning and formidable, so they were each challenging to defeat. Unde
