"Yeah! Not only are these criminals powerful, but they have also been on the criminal list for over sevenyears, so not even the Dragon Corps has what it takes to take them down!" Alfred sighed withresignation.novelbin
The names on the criminal list were ever-changing, as the Dragon Corps would often succeed ineliminating one or two criminals a year, only for other criminals to be added to the list later on.
The Poisonwielder, who ranked last place, was recently added to the list merely a few months ago.
Since both the Poisonwielder and the Scarlet Thief ranked under third place, they would likely beeliminated within five years judging from past references. novelebook.com However, the criminalsranking at the very top of the list were on the list for years despite the relentless effort in capturingthem.
This was proof of how formidable these criminals were.
"That shouldn’t be! There are so many skilled martial artists in the Dragon Corps, so why would you allstruggle so much with three criminals?" Leon asked in surprise.
To his knowledge, the Dragon Corps was understaffed, but all members were powerful martial artistswith quite several Almighty martial artists in the organization.
With such a formidable force, the Dragon Corps should be capable of eliminating the three criminals ifthey sent out all capable individuals to attack the criminals, so it seemed impossible that thesecriminals managed to run free for years.
"Yeah, you're right! The central region lies in the middle of Sky County and the martial artists there arefar more powerful! It's not challenging for them to deal with those three criminals, but these people areeven more cunning than the likes of Poisonwielder. If the Dragon Corps in the central region target
these criminals, they'll take the opportunity to run to other regions. Hence, the central region has notbeen able to take much action," Alfred explained.

To prevent the criminals from causing trouble, the Dragon Corps had influential martial artists patrollingthe area to limit their movement to a certain zone.

Hence, by remaining in the central region, these criminals were able to keep an eye on the DragonCorps and plan their escape when necessary.
