Female Novel
Chapter 1989
"Hello, Leon. What's up?" Alfred's chirrupy voice rang out from the other end of the line.
"Mister Glasbey, I want to talk to you about something. I got into some trouble with the Hiltons thistime," Leon then explained everything that happened to Alfred.
After all, Oliver used Alfred's name to scare Devon into handing Joel over for interrogation and toprevent Devon from stirring up trouble, Leon was obliged to notify Alfred about this beforehand.
Alfred fell silent upon hearing this.
"What's wrong, Mister Glasbey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Leon asked dubiously.
"I can't believe you! You arrested Rodney Spears for no reason just a few weeks ago, and now you'vedone the same with Joel Hiltons! You can't just arrest people without concrete evidence of theirwrongdoings like this! You're getting more and more daring, and I don't mean this in a good way!"Alfred snapped rather indignantly.
The Dragon Corps were responsible for maintaining peace and rarely got involved in personal feudsbetween martial artists.novelbin
Rodney was the son of the Southern Boss, whereas Joel was the heir to the Hiltons—these twoundoubtedly had powerful forces on their side and were not people to be messed with. However, Leonmanaged to cross them within two months of his arrival in this city and even got the Dragon Corpsinvolved in this!
Alfred could not help feeling rather annoyed at this.
"Well, Mister Glasbey, that's precisely the reason why I decided to keep them in captivity for a fewdays! If I had proof of their wrongdoings, they wouldn't even have gotten away with just a few days in aholding cell!" Leon replied earnestly.
"You—never mind! I can't be bothered to argue with you! Just promise me you'll stop doing this again!"Alfred had no choice but to relent. The Dragon Corps was a specialized government body in charge ofmaintaining peace and order, and naturally, possessed a power that overrode even those of the ancientmartial arts families!
As a Platinum Dragon Guard, Leon did indeed have the right to keep Rodney and Joel in captivity for afew days, and thus he did not want to inflict any blame on Leon for doing so.
He scolded Leon in hopes that Leon would learn to tone this attitude down, lest he gets into troublewith other ancient families in the future!
Getting tangled into feuds was not something that worked in either Leon's or the Dragon Corps' favor!
"Alright, I promise I will," Leon replied obediently.
"Also, has Oliver told you about Poisonwielder? The Western region branch has tracked him down andreached out to us for backup. They're hoping we can send some troops over to help them bring himdown, and I intend to send you over there with a team," Alfred changed the subject.
The Southern and Western regions were neighbors, and coincidentally, Poisonwielder's hiding placewas located close to their border. Besides, the Western region branch of the Dragon Corps onlymanaged to track down Poisonwielder's whereabouts, whereas his exact location was still unknown.Therefore, they needed more backup to carry out this mission!
This was why they reached out to Alfred for assistance!
"I'm afraid I have to say no! Mister Glasbey, you know better than anyone that I haven't even attainedthe Almighty State. I truly have no confidence leading a team to track down and defeat Poisonwielder,"Leon said rather hesitantly.
The only reason Alfred made him a Platinum Dragon Guard was on behalf of Master Haslewood, andthe truth was, he could not yet shoulder this responsibility!
Leon was not particularly scared of Poisonwielder, nor was he worried about dying a horrible death atthe hands of this notorious criminal. On the contrary, he was concerned that should Poisonwielderescape from right under his nose, it would ruin the Dragon Corps' plans!
