Chapter 2008
"Oh!"
Everyone was instantly rendered speechless by Leon's words.
They thought that Leon was being headstrong as the leader of the reinforcement team from the southern region,
but what Leon said instantly gave them clarity on the situation.
They knew that Leon was right and if they went after the Poisonwielder, it might be exactly what the Poisonwielder
wanted and he would simply circle back to the Tidderton Mansions once it was left unguarded.
"Mister Wolf, you might be right, but the Poisonwielder has already escaped and it's unlikely that he will circle back. I

Though what Leon suggested was sensible, it was only a theory and since the Poisonwielder succeeded in leaving, it
seemed unlikely for him to return immediately.
The thought that his grandson was abducted filled Elder Tidderton's mind and he could not think of anything else."
"Well, Elder Tidderton is right. It's unlikely for the Poisonwielder to come back! Still, we have to keep our guards up
considering how vicious the Poisonwielder could be!" Fletcher said thoughtfully and turned to look at Leon.
"Mister Wolf, why don't you and your team stay here, while I lead my team to go after the Poisonwielder? If we can
track him down, you and your team can hurry over to our location to help! That way, we won't be taking any risk at
all!" Fletcher suggested.
He knew that with only the members from the western region Dragon
Corps, they might not be able to defeat the Poisonwielder, so they could only stall until Leon and the reinforcement
joined forces with them once the Poisonwielder was located.
"Yeah. Fletcher is right!"
"We can try that!"
Others from the western region of Dragon Corps agreed along.
"No! Fletcher, pardon me for being blunt, but if the Poisonwielder dared to sneak into the mansion while we are still
here, I'm sure he came prepared! If you and your team go after him, there's a low chance that you will find him at
all and you will still be leaving the mansion defenseless! There's no point to it." Leon shook his head and rejected
the arrangement once again.
Though Fletcher's idea seemed sensible, Leon instinctively knew that a sly man like the Poisonwielder would not

If the western and southern branches split up, not only would they lose the ability to defeat the Poisonwielder when
needed, they would allow him the chance to take the Dragon Guards out one by one.
"You are saying no to everything!"
"Are we supposed to just watch as the Poisonwielder runs free?"
The martial artists sent by the western region branch protested.
Though Leon gave a reasonable argument, it was still his theory about the situation and they all thought that Leon
was being overly careful.
The Poisonwielder blatantly disrespected the Dragon Corps by committing a massacre and capturing a member of
the Tiddertons under their noses, so their pride would not allow them to simply let the Poisonwielder go.
