Chapter 2001
"It's over. The southern region branch's name is in the dirt!" Scott, Chad, and Jerry blushed inembarrassment.
Though the three of them were upset that Leon was selected as their leader, Leon belonged to thesouthern region branch and represented them all, so they were all frustrated that Leon was beingmocked.
Contrary to their embarrassment, Leon alone remained composed and unwavering.
Since the members of the western region Dragon Corps already developed a prejudice against Leon,instead of seeing Leon's composure as a redeeming quality, they simply assumed that Leon was onlyremaining quiet because he felt guilty, which only deepened the contempt they felt toward him.
"Alright, that's enough!" Seeing that the situation was escalating, Fletcher roared, effectively stoppingthe members of the western region Dragon Corps from mocking Leon. "Mister Wolf, I'm sorry about mysubordinates’ rudeness. Please find it in your heart to forgive them," Fletcher apologized on behalf ofthe others sincerely
Though he felt the same as the others and was suspicious about the southern region branch's choicein selecting a young, inexperienced man as the leader, since it was finalized, he saw no point inarguing over it.
At the moment, it was their priority to join forces and focus on defeating the Poisonwielder, so fightingamongst themselves would not benefit them in any way.
"It's fine. It's not that big a deal!" Leon smiled carelessly.novelbin
"You sure are forgiving, Mister Wolf!" Fletcher was slightly surprised by how composed Leon was andwas impressed by it.
"Mister Wolf, since the southern region has appointed you as the leader, I'm sure that you must be anexpert in a certain field, right?" Fletcher asked.
"I would not call myself an expert of any kind, but I have some experience in the medical field andproduced some Essential Detox Pills that could be used to counter the Reaper’s Breath made by thePoisonwielder," Leon said modestly.
"What? You have a way to counter the Reaper’s Breath made by the Poisonwielder?"
"Seriously?!"
Fletcher and the others gasped in disbelief.
"Not entirely! The Essential Detox Pills I made might be useful in some way, but I can't guarantee howwell it will work on the Reaper’s Breath," Leon explained.
"So he was just exaggerating!" Realization dawned on the others and the hope they felt earlier wasinstantly replaced by disappointment.
Like Scott, the members from the western region Dragon Corps did not have much faith in theEssential Detox Pills as the Reaper’s Breath was the Poisonwielder's secret weapon.
If Leon himself could not be certain about the pills' effect, the others who were prejudiced against himwere even less likely to believe in the pills and they all concluded that Leon was bragging.
