Chapter 2001
"It's over. The southern region branch's name is in the dirt!" Scott, Chad, and Jerry blushed in embarrassment.
Though the three of them were upset that Leon was selected as their leader, Leon belonged to the southern region
branch and represented them all, so they were all frustrated that Leon was being mocked.
Contrary to their embarrassment, Leon alone remained composed and unwavering.
Since the members of the western region Dragon Corps already developed a prejudice against Leon, instead of
seeing Leon's composure as a redeeming quality, they simply assumed that Leon was only remaining quiet because
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe felt guilty, which only deepened the contempt they felt toward him.
"Alright, that's enough!" Seeing that the situation was escalating, Fletcher roared, effectively stopping the members
of the western region Dragon Corps from mocking Leon. 'Mister Wolf, I'm sorry about my subordinates' rudeness.
Please find it in your heart to forgive them," Fletcher apologized on behalf of the others sincerely
Though he felt the same as the others and was suspicious about the southern region branch's choice in selecting a
young, inexperienced man as the leader, since it was finalized, he saw no point in arguing over it.
At the moment, it was their priority to join forces and focus on defeating the Poisonwielder, so fighting amongst
themselves would not benefit them in any way.
"It's fine. It's not that big a deal!" Leon smiled carelessly.
"You sure are forgiving, Mister Wolf!" Fletcher was slightly surprised by how composed Leon was and was impressed
by it.
"Mister Wolf, since the southern region has appointed you as the leader, I'm sure that you must be an expert in a
certain field, right?" Fletcher asked.
"I would not call myself an expert of any kind, but I have some experience in the medical field and produced some
Essential Detox Pills that could be used to counter the Reaper's Breath made by the Poisonwielder," Leon said
modestly.
"What? You have a way to counter the Reaper’s Breath made by the Poisonwielder?"
"Seriously?!'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFletcher and the others gasped in disbelief.
"Not entirely! The Essential Detox Pills I made might be useful in some way, but I can’t guarantee how well it will
work on the Reaper's Breath," Leon explained.
"So he was just exaggerating!" Realization dawned on the others and the hope they felt earlier was instantly
replaced by disappointment.
Like Scott, the members from the western region Dragon Corps did not have much faith in the Essential Detox Pills
as the Reaper's Breath was the Poisonwielder's secret weapon.
If Leon himself could not be certain about the pills' effect, the others who were prejudiced against him were even
less likely to believe in the pills and they all concluded that Leon was bragging.
