Chapter 2292
Upon hearing Arthur's inquiry, Oliver briefly introduced Leon's identity. "Elder Thompson, let meintroduce myself. This gentleman is Hugh Wolf, one of the Platinum Dragon Guards from the Southernregion."
During their previous mission together in the Western region, where they joined forces to suppress thePoisowielder, Leon wore a half-golden mask to conceal his identity and adopted an alias in the past.
Oliver was well aware of this fact and thus did not reveal Leon's true name.
"A Platinum Dragon Guard? I never expected such a young man to be a Platinum Dragon Guard. Apleasure to meet you," Arthur was astonished.
Though Leon's mask obscured his age and features, based on his physique, Arthur could vaguely inferthat he was not much older than thirty. Being a Platinum Dragon Guard in the Southern region's DragonCorps was a position of high status, typically reserved for formidable martial artists at the Almightystate.
Leon's martial talent must be nothing short of terrifying to have achieved such a position at his age.
Momentarily taken aback, Arthur could not help but regard Leon with newfound respect.
"You flatter me, Elder Thompson," Leon spoke softly, his voice noticeably lower and huskier thanbefore.
Neither Arthur nor August detected anything out of the ordinary, let alone suspect that the personbefore them was Leon.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Arthur cut to the chase with his question. "Mister Wolf, may Iinquire about the purpose of your visit here?"
"Oh, we've heard about the unfortunate news regarding the demise of young Yonas. The Dragon Corpsin the Southern region have already been informed. We find this incident rather peculiar andextraordinary, so our captain specifically dispatched the three of us to conduct a detailed investigation,"Leon responded.
"What are you investigating?" Arthur and August exchanged puzzled glances, unable to fathom theconnection between Yonas' murder and the Dragon Corps.
"Well, you see, a couple of days ago, we received information that the Demon Lord, ranking third onthe criminal list, fled from the Central region to the Southern region. Based on the intelligence wepossess, the Demon Lord was spotted in the vicinity of your residence. We suspect that Yonas'untimely demise might be related to him. Hence, our captain wants us to look into the matterthoroughly." Leon fabricated a story on the spot.
His true purpose for this visit was to uncover the cause of Yonas' death. However, he could not simplyrequest to examine Yonas' body without a valid reason. Thus, he casually mentioned the Demon Lordas his excuse.
It was the Dragon Corps' duty to hunt down any criminals and since the Demon Lord was one of themost notorious criminals who could be a danger to anyone around him, Arthur would have no choicebut to corporate with the investigation.novelbin
"What?"
Both Arthur and August were stunned by the sudden news.
"Mister Wolf, don't you think there might be a mistake? We have gotten to the bottom of how my sonwas killed and the culprit is the chairman of Cynthion Group, Leon Wolf! What does the Demon Lordhave to do with this?" August asked in confusion.
"Oh? Is that so? Have you witnessed this Leon Wolf kill Mister Yonas with your own eyes?" Leon liftedan eyebrow, feeling troubled that August was still dead-set on believing that he was the culprit.
