Chapter 2003
"But," Scott, Chad, and Jerry opened their mouths hesitantly when they heard Leon turning down theDetox paste offered by Fletcher.
Since they already convinced themselves that Leon obtained his status through connections, none ofthem believed that Leon's Essential Detox Pills could counter the Poisonwielder's Reaper’s Breath.novelbin
The three of them desperately wanted to accept the Detox paste, but Leon turned it down as theirleader, so they could not possibly argue with Leon. Hence, they all smiled bitterly and swallowed thewords rolling on their tongues.
"Mister Wolf, if you and your team don't need the Detox paste, that's fine!" Fletcher said, before puttingthe Detox paste away.
"How insolent!"
"Fletcher offered him the Detox paste out of kindness and he turned it down!"
"Yeah, the damage of having an incompetent leader is worse than having an incompetent soldier!"
"He's already acting all smug now because he was appointed as leader. Who knows how arrogant hewill become later on?"
...
The members of the western region Dragon Corps all had a dark looks on their faces as their doubtabout Leon's capability deepened.
Leon himself mentioned that the Essential Detox Pills might not work, and like Fletcher, the othersthought that the Detox paste would work much better; yet Leon refused the Detox paste Fletcheroffered to him, and in their perspective, Leon could not have been more foolish.
What they did not know was that Leon only offered them the Essential Detox Pills as a gesture ofgoodwill, but none of them had faith in Leon's skill, so Leon simply put the Essential Detox Pills backinto his pocket.
"Alright, now that backup is here, let's all discuss how we should move forward and eliminate thePoisonwielder!" Fletcher changed the subject.
"Fletcher, how's everything going so far?" Leon cut to the chase in the hope of comprehending thecurrent situation.
Fletcher sighed and said, "The Poisonwielder is a sly man and we haven't been able to make muchprogress so far."
Ever since Fletcher and the others rushed to the Tiddertons Mansion, the Poisonwielder went intohiding. Though they sent out groups of martial artists in search of the Poisonwielder, none of themmanaged to find the Poisonwielder so far.
Since Dragon Corps had branches all over the country, it was always understaffed.
To defeat the Poisonwielder, the western region Dragon Corps has sent out two fifth-level PlatinumDragon Guards, along with dozens of Gold Dragon Guards in the Peak Emperor States and Semi-Almighty States.
This exhausted quite a big portion of the Dragon Corps' manpower and if the Poisonwielder was noteliminated anytime soon, they would all be ordered to leave as they could not simply protect theTiddertons forever.
Without the Dragon Corps' help, the Tiddertons would not stand a chance in defending themselvesagainst the Poisonwielder, who was in the Almighty State, and this was Fletcher's biggest concern.
"Mister Wolf, before you arrived, I have gotten Elder Tidderton to agree that we shall use themotherwort as bait and lure the Poisonwielder out to ambush him! What do you think of this plan? Doyou think it will work?" Fletcher asked.
The western region branch no longer had the time and resources to waste on the Poisonwielder, so heintended to take the initiative and lure the Poisonwielder out instead.
Since Leon was the leader of the reinforcement from the southern region branch, he figured that heshould ask for Leon's opinion on the plan as well.
