Chapter 2292
Upon hearing Arthur''s inquiry, Oliver briefly introduced Leon''s identity. "Elder Thompson, let me
introduce myself. This gentleman is Hugh Wolf, one of the tinum Dragon Guards from the Southern
region."
During their previous mission together in the Western region, where they joined forces to suppress the
Poisowielder, 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 tinum Dragon Guard? I never expected such a young man to be a tinum Dragon Guard. A
pleasure to meet you," Arthur was astonished.
Though Leon''s mask obscured his age and features, based on his physique, Arthur could vaguely infer
that he was not much older than thirty. Being a tinum Dragon Guard in the Southern region''s Dragon
Corps was a position of high status, typically reserved for formidable martial artists at the Almighty
state.
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 tter me, Elder Thompson," Leon spoke softly, his voice noticeably lower and huskier than
before.
Neither Arthur nor August detected anything out of the ordinary, let alone suspect that the person
before them was Leon.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Arthur cut to the chase with his question. "Mister Wolf, may I
inquire about the purpose of your visit here?"
"Oh, we''ve heard about the unfortunate news regarding the demise of young Yonas. The Dragon Corps
in the Southern region have already been informed. We find this incident rather peculiar and
extraordinary, 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 nces, unable to fathom the
connection between Yonas'' murder and the Dragon Corps.
"Well, you see, a couple of days ago, we received information that the Demon Lord, ranking third on
the criminal list, fled from the Central region to the Southern region. Based on the intelligence we
possess, the Demon Lord was spotted in the vicinity of your residence. We suspect that Yonas''
untimely demise might be rted to him. Hence, our captain wants us to look into the matter
thoroughly." 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 simply
request to examine Yonas'' body without a valid reason. Thus, he casually mentioned the Demon Lord
as his excuse.
It was the Dragon Corps'' duty to hunt down any criminals and since the Demon Lord was one of the
most notorious criminals who could be a danger to anyone around him, Arthur would have no choice
but to corporate with the investigation.
"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 son
was killed and the culprit is the chairman of Cynthion Group, Leon Wolf! What does the Demon Lord
have to do with this?" August asked in confusion.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
"Oh? Is that so? Have you witnessed this Leon Wolf kill Mister Yonas with your own eyes?" Leon lifted
an eyebrow, feeling troubled that August was still dead-set on believing that he was the culprit.
