Chapter 1987
After they left, Oliver hesitated for a moment, then strode over to Leon's side. "Mister Wolf, I havesomething I need to discuss with you in private," he muttered.
"Sure." Leon nodded.
With that, Angus, Alan, Iris, and Snow unanimously took a few steps backward, giving Leon and Oliverthe privacy they needed.
"What did you want to talk to me about, Oliver?" Leon asked dubiously.
"Sir, there has been news about the other criminals that you asked Abraham and me to track down afew days ago. We heard from the Western region branch of the Dragon Corps that they have eyes onthe eighth man of the Criminal List, Poisonwielder," Oliver explained.
"I see!" Leon finally understood why Oliver and Abraham showed up at the Scammells' place all of asudden. It turned out that they traveled all the way here to bring this news to him, but stumbled uponthe Hiltons' invasion by accident!
"Who's this Poisonwielder, Oliver? How powerful is he?" Leon asked. He specifically instructed Oliverand Abraham to keep an eye on the rest of the criminals on the list so that he could stand a chance toget even more contribution points, which he would exchange for The Angel's Fruit, for taking down theirenemies.
However, now that he already got his hands on The Angel's Fruit, he no longer needed to risk his lifedefeating the rest of the criminals!
Despite that, the Eight Criminals were among the most infamous people in the entire Sky County, withmany citizens fearing their name. As an honorary member of the Dragon Corps, Leon was obliged tohelp maintain peace by getting rid of as many criminals as he could!
Therefore, now that the Dragon Corps got wind of one of the criminals' whereabouts, he would have tofind a way to defeat him if possible!
Before he could do that, however, he first had to understand his opponents' background and the extentof his powers!
"Sir, Poisonwielder has already attained the Initial Almighty State. Although he's the last among theEight Criminals, he's far more powerful than Asmodeus, who is the seventh on the list. Not only that,he's known to be far more malicious and a bigger pain in the butt than Asmodeus was," Oliver repliedtruthfully.
"What? I can't believe it!" Leon was shocked to hear this. he knew of Asmodeus' ranking on theCriminal List from the Dragon Corps, and initially, when he first heard that Poisonwielder was the eighthon the list, he thought that this man's powers would be on par, if not lesser than that of Asmodeus'. Ifhe could make a guess, he would estimate this man to be in the Semi Almighty State at most.
He never once imagined that Poisonwielder would turn out to be far more powerful than Asmodeus!
At the thought of this, Leon could not help wondering why, with such powers, was Poisonwielderranked lower than Asmodeus on the list.novelbin
"Sir, the people on the Criminal List aren't necessarily organized by a ranking of their power. We alsotake into account the timing of their first appearance and the extent of their cruelty," Oliver explained.
The Criminal List was dynamic as sometimes, some of the criminals would be removed from the listafter their deaths or captured by either the Dragon Corps or the major families in Sky County. Despitethat, new people constantly cropped up, and would thus be added onto the list.
Since Asmodeus rose to power about a couple of years ago and was added to the Criminal List by theCentral region branch of the Dragon Corps, whereas Poisonwielder only first appeared about sixmonths ago, this was why he was ranked behind Asmodeus despite being more powerful than him.
If one were to judge on behalf of his strength and overall performance, he would at least be ranked infifth or sixth place!
