Chapter 2186
"Rats!" the color drained from the Scarlet Thief's face when he sensed Leon charging toward him. Heknew full well that if he did not retreat now, although he would be able to kill Chandler right on the spot,he would also highly likely fall into Leon's trap.
It was not worth making this shot just to wind up hurt in someone else's hands!
Therefore, the Scarlet Thief had no choice but to give up trying to attack Chandler and instead turnedto swipe Leon's needles out of the way.
With that, he leaped into the air, nimbly dodging Leon's attack from the back, and placed a safedistance in between him and his other three opponents for fear that Henry, like Leon, would try toambush him from the back as well.
Seizing the opportunity to escape, Chandler got up from the ground, stifling the excruciating pain in hischest, and picked up his cane.
"Are you okay, Elder Quinn?" Instead of chasing after the Scarlet Thief, Leon turned his attention toChandler in concern.
"I'm fine. I sustained some injuries, but I'll be okay," Chandler replied, shaking his head.
"That's good to hear! Here, take this. It's called a Circulation Pill and can help aid recovery," Leon saidas he took out one of his Circulation Pills and handed it to Chandler.
"Thank you, President Wolf," Chandler took it from his, his face etched with gratitude. Not only did Leonhelp him cure his leg, but he even saved his life during this moment of crisis. novelebook.com He didnot know how to even begin repaying Leon for his kindness!novelbin
All of a sudden, footsteps rang out as Henry approached them. "Mister Wolf, Chandler and I cantemporarily hold the Scarlet Thief off while you and Sherlyn escape. You'd better go soon!" he said
worriedly.
It was clear that until now, he still did not think Leon was capable of taking on the Scarlet Thief on hisown!
"Yes, Henry's right! You'd better run while you can, President Wolf!" Chandler agreed. He, like Henry,did not think that a young and inexperienced man like Leon would be able to match up against theScarlet Thief, especially after seeing the Scarlet Thief's exceptional display of power.
He knew that he and Henry would not be able to escape their inevitable fate, but he did not want Leonto pay the same price!
"No need! Didn't I already say I can handle him? Sirs, please get some rest and look after Sherlyn andMason. We can't let the Scarlet Thief hurt them," Leon replied solemnly. Knowing that the Scarlet Thiefwas one of the higher-ranking criminals on the list, it was likely that he would extend his wrath to theothers, especially defenseless Sherlyn.novelebook.com This was the reason he was reluctant to attackthe Scarlet Thief with his full power—he was worried that the Scarlet Thief would try to harm Sherlynand Mason in retaliation!
Therefore, he wanted Henry and Chandler to keep an eye on Sherlyn and Mason while he took on theScarlet Thief!
"But," Henry and Chandler were still hesitant. They wanted to continue convincing Leon otherwise, butLeon interrupted them before they could even say anything.
