Chapter 1989
"Hello, Leon. What's up?" Alfred's chirrupy voice rang out from the other end of the line.
"Mister Glasbey, I want to talk to you about something. I got into some trouble with the Hiltons this time," Leon then explained everything that happened to Alfred.
After all, Oliver used Alfred's name to scare Devon into handing Joel over for interrogation and to prevent Devon from stirring up trouble, Leon was obliged to notify Alfred about this beforehand.
Alfred fell silent upon hearing this.
"What's wrong, Mister Glasbey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Leon asked dubiously.
"I can't believe you! You arrested Rodney Spears for no reason just a few weeks ago, and now you've done the same with Joel Hiltons! You can't just arrest people without concrete evidence of their wrongdoings like this! You're getting more and more daring, and I don't mean this in a good way!" Alfred snapped rather indignantly.
The Dragon Corps were responsible for maintaining peace and rarely got involved in personal feuds between martial artists.
Rodney was the son of the Southern Boss, whereas Joel was the heir to the Hiltons-these two undoubtedly had powerful forces on their side and were not people to be
messed with. However, Leon managed to cross them within two months of his arrival in this city and even got the Dragon Corps involved in this!
Alfred could not help feeling rather annoyed at this.
"Well, Mister Glasbey, that's precisely the reason why I decided to keep them in captivity for a few days! If I had proof of their wrongdoings, they wouldn't even have gotten away with just a few days in a holding cell!" Leon replied earnestly.
The Southern and Western regions were neighbors, and coincidentally, Poisonwielder's hiding place was located close to their border. Besides, the Western region branch of the Dragon Corps only managed to track down Poisonwielder's whereabouts, whereas his exact location was still unknown. Therefore, they needed more backup to carry out this mission!
This was why they reached out to Alfred for assistance!
"I'm afraid I have to say no! Mister Glasbey, you know better than anyone that I haven't even attained the Almighty State. I truly have no confidence leading a team to track down and defeat Poisonwielder," Leon said rather hesitantly.
The only reason Alfred made him a Platinum Dragon Guard was on behalf of Master Haslewood, and the truth was, he could not yet shoulder this responsibility!
Leon was not particularly scared of Poisonwielder, nor was he worried about dying a horrible death at the hands of this notorious criminal. On the contrary, he was concerned that should Poisonwielder escape from right under his nose, it would ruin the Dragon Corps' plans!
