Chapter 1997


    "My decision is final! Scott, Leon might be young, but he''s incredibly gifted, especially in medicine! He


    has already found a way to counter the Reaper''s Breath. I''m certain that appointing him as the leader


    will help with the mission!" Alfred deadpanned.


    "What?!"


    "Mister sbey, did you just say that he found a way to counter the Reaper''s Breath?"


    "Seriously?!"


    The three were stunned.


    Given the Dragon Corps'' power, it would never have considered Poisonwielder as a threat if he was


    only a formidable martial artist in the Almighty State. The Dragon Corps in the western region had


    sought the southern region''s help mainly because of Poisonwielder''s unparalleled skills in poison-


    making.


    Among all poisons he had, his Reaper''s Breath was colorless and odorless, so one would easily fall


    victim to it.


    On top of that, Poisonwielder was sly and experienced in hiding his tracks, so the Dragon Corps would


    still find it difficult even if they sent a few tinum Dragon Guards after Poisonwielder.


    On the contrary, if Leon truly had the means to counter the effect of the Reaper''s Breath, Poisonwielder


    would be like a maimed predator and could be defeated with ease.


    "Leon, you''ve produced the Essential Detox Pills that you told me about, right? Why don''t you show


    them to the team?" Alfred said to Leon.


    "Yeah. I''ve produced them!" Leon nodded and took out a jade sk before shaking a few pills out of it to


    show the others.


    "Mister Wolf, are you iming that these white pills can counter the Reaper''s Breath?"


    Scott and the other two studied the pills skeptically.


    "I suppose so! I don''t know which nts Poisonwielder used to produce his Reaper''s Breath, so there''s


    no guarantee that the Essential Detox Pills can counter the poison. However, even if the Essential


    Detox Pills fail to nullify the poisonpletely, it can, at the very least, suppress the poison''s effects for


    some time," Leon said.


    "You suppose?"


    The excitement and anticipation in their hearts were instantly reced by disappointment.


    They had thought that Leon had trulye up with a solution to counter the Reaper''s Breath but soon


    realized that they got excited for no reason.


    The Reaper''s Breath was a strong poison. Even Leon could not guarantee that the Essential Detox


    Pills would work, so the three were hardly convinced.


    Since there was no proof as to whether Leon was telling the truth, they suspected that he was only


    bragging.


    "Leon, distribute the Essential Detox Pills to the others, just in case!" Alfred said.


    "Oh, sure," Leon said before handing the other five members of the team two pills each.


    The team was speechless.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Oliver and Abraham worked under Leon and had always trusted him fully. However, Scott, Chad, and


    Jerry felt differently.


    They were certain that Leon did not earn his status, and none of them could ce their trust in him nor


    believe that the Essential Detox Pills could counter the effect of the Reaper''s Breath.


    However, since Alfred and Leon only meant well, they hesitated before epting the pills despite their


    skepticism over the pills'' efficacy.
