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 Platinum 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 Platinum Dragon Guard? I never expected such a young man to be a Platinum Dragon Guard. A pleasure to
meet you," Arthur was astonished.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough 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 Platinum 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 flatter 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

captain specifically dispatched the three of us to conduct a detailed investigation," Leon responded.
"What are you investigating?" Arthur and August exchanged puzzled glances, 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 related 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

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.
"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
