Chapter 1988


    "Oh, no wonder!" Leon finally understood after Oliver''s exnation, but could not help feeling his heart


    sink at the realization that Poisonwielder would be an even harder opponent to defeat than Asmodeus!


    He crossed paths with Asmodeus once before and thus already knew just how ruthless a criminal could


    be. Considering that Poisonwielder was even more powerful than Asmodeus, one could safely assume


    that defeating him would be significantly harder, especially since Leon was only at the Advanced


    Emperor State.


    However, on second thought, Leon realized that since the Dragon Corps managed to track


    Poisonwielder down, they would surely send plenty of martial artists to go after him, and this


    responsibility would not fall onto his shoulders. After all, he was a non-staff personnel, and tasks like


    this were not a part of his job scope.


    However, before he could even finish this thought, what Oliver said next made his jaw drop.


    "Sir, Mister sbey heard that you wanted to gain contribution points for killing the criminals on the list,


    and so he''s going to send you to the Western region to track down Poisonwielder. I''m here just to


    inform you of this change," Oliver said.


    "What?" Leon''s eyes almost bulged out of his head. He thought that he would not have to shoulder the


    burden of tracking down Poisonwielder, but now, it turned out that Alfred decided to entrust this task to


    him!


    This was a shocking discovery, no doubt!


    "Um, can I choose not to go?" Leon let out a sheepish grin. His first instinct was to turn down this


    mission.


    Although he had plenty of secret weapons and was not at all afraid of Poisonwielder, he was still an


    Almighty Warrior, and certainly would not be an easy opponent!


    As many secret weapons as he possessed, he was not too confident that he could take down


    Poisonwielder by himself!


    Besides, he already got his hands on the Angel''s Fruit now, and thus he no longer needed to put


    himself in danger to take down criminals in exchange for contribution points!


    Therefore, it would be better if Alfred handed the task over to other members of the Dragon Corps


    instead!


    "You don''t want to go? Sir, are you joking?" Oliver was a little shocked to hear this.


    The Dragon Corps were a specialized organization that belonged to the government, and nobody ever


    turned down Mister sbey''s orders.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Mister sbey was the highest-inmand of the Southern region branch of Dragon Corps, and his


    orders were like the holy grail; no one ever dared to disobey them, no matter if they were a Golden


    Dragon Guard or a tinum Dragon Guard.


    Leon was the first one to ever attempt such a feat!


    Besides, from what he knew, Leon was an exceptionally high-ranking tinum Dragon Guard.


    All the tinum Dragon Guards attained at least the Almighty State, which meant that they were more


    powerful than Poisonwielder. Therefore, Oliver could not understand why Leon did not want to take on


    this task.


    "Never mind, you can think of it as if I''m joking, but I''ll call Mister sbey right now and talk to him


    directly!" Leon replied after some thought. Although he was indeed a tinum Dragon Guard, he was


    not powerful enough to defeat Poisonwielder. However, there was no point in exining this to Oliver. It


    was better to just phone Alfred directly and ask him to send someone else!


    Talking to Alfred directly would also save him trouble, should something else happen and his message


    failed to get across to Alfred.


    With that, Leon took out his phone and dialed Alfred''s number.
