Chapter 2293
"We didn’t." August shook his head.
"You didn't? Mister Thompson, you need evidence to make accusations! 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough 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 Platinum 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, according 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
become victims as well. For the safety of your family and to eradicate the evil of our community, please corporate
before more casualty emerges."
"But," Arthur paled and fell into silence.
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,

If Yonas was truly killed by the Demon Lord, Arthur would have wrongfully accused 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.
According to his knowledge, an autopsy was a common 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. i
