Chapter 2293


    "We didn''t." August shook his head.


    "You didn''t? Mister Thompson, you need evidence to make usations! Since you didn''t see Leon kill


    Mister Yonas, you shouldn''t jump to conclusion!" Leon said.


    "But," August opened his mouth to argue but was instantly interrupted by Leon.


    "That''s enough! Mister Thompson, are you doubting the Dragon Corps authority and ability?" Leon


    questioned sharply.


    "I- That''s not what I mean," August said hastily.


    Though the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region with close to no rival, the


    Dragon Corps was a special organization that ruled over the southern region and wielded far more


    power than the Thompsons.


    Since Leon was a high-level tinum Dragon Guard, August dared not to defy him directly, knowing


    that enraging Leon would not be beneficial to the Thompsons.


    He quieted down at this thought.


    "Elder Thompsons, ording to what we''ve found so far, Mister Yonas''s death likely has something to


    do with the Demon Lord. I''d like for your corporation so that we can examine Mister Yonas''s body to


    look into the cause of his death and determine if the Demon Lord is truly involved," Leon said with his


    eyes trained on Arthur.


    "You want to examine the body? That''s hardly appropriate!" Arthur frowned, troubled.


    His grandson died and he preferred to let Yonas rest in peace instead of having the Dragon Guards


    taunt with his body.


    Sensing Arthur''s reluctance, Leon decided to pressure him further. "Forgive me for being blunt, Elder


    Thompson. The Demon Lord has been spotted near your premise and we don''t know if he is plotting


    something against your family. If Mister Yonas was truly murdered by the Demon Lord, there''s no telling


    if other members of your family will be victims as well. For the safety of your family and to


    eradicate the evil of ourmunity, please corporate before more casualty emerges."


    "But," Arthur paled and fell into silence.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    He knew about the criminal list and understood that every single criminal listed was a notorious,


    ruthless individual.


    Though he was certain that Leon murdered Yonas, his belief began to waver when the Dragon Guards


    showed up, iming that the Demon Lord was seen around the Thompsons Mansion.


    If Yonas was truly killed by the Demon Lord, Arthur would have wrongfully used Leon and there


    would also be a high chance that other members of the Thompsons would be targeted.


    Out of consideration for their safety and to learn the truth, August concluded that he needed to


    corporate with the Dragon Corps'' investigation to prevent himself from making a mistake, or the


    consequences might be unbearable.


    "Mister Wolf, I''ll let you examine the body, but I have one condition. I don''t care how you do it, but


    you''re not allowed to cut my grandson''s body open!" Arthur said.


    ording to his knowledge, an autopsy was amon method used to determine the cause of death.


    Yonas died a wrongful death and Arthur could not bring himself to imagine cutting his body apart; if he


    allowed such a thing to happen, he would not be able to face his grandson in the afterlife.
