Chapter 1988
"Oh, no wonder!" Leon finally understood after Oliver's explanation, but could not help feeling his heart sink at the
realization that Poisonwielder would be an even harder opponent to defeat than Asmodeus!
He crossed paths with Asmodeus once before and thus already knew just how ruthless a criminal could be.
Considering that Poisonwielder was even more powerful than Asmodeus, one could safely assume that defeating
him would be significantly harder, especially since Leon was only at the Advanced Emperor State.
However, on second thought, Leon realized that since the Dragon Corps managed to track Poisonwielder down,
they would surely send plenty of martial artists to go after him, and this responsibility would not fall onto his
shoulders.

However, before he could even finish this thought, what Oliver said next made his jaw drop.
"Sir, Mister Glasbey heard that you wanted to gain contribution points for killing the criminals on the list, and so he's
going to send you to the Western region to track down Poisonwielder. I'm here just to inform you of this change,"
Oliver said.
"What?" Leon's eyes almost bulged out of his head. He thought that he would not have to shoulder the burden of
tracking down Poisonwielder, but now, it turned out that Alfred decided to entrust this task to him!
This was a shocking discovery, no doubt!
"Um, can I choose not to go?" Leon let out a sheepish grin. His first instinct was to turn down this mission.
Although he had plenty of secret weapons and was not at all afraid of Poisonwielder, he was still an Almighty
Warrior, and certainly would not be an easy opponent!
As many secret weapons as he possessed, he was not too confident that he could take down Poisonwielder by
himself!
Besides, he already got his hands on the Angel's Fruit now, and thus he no longer needed to put himself in danger
to take down criminals in exchange for contribution points!
Therefore, it would be better if Alfred handed the task over to other members of the Dragon Corps instead!
"You don't want to go? Sir, are you joking?" Oliver was a little shocked to hear this.
The Dragon Corps were a specialized organization that belonged to the government, and nobody ever turned down
Mister Glasbey's orders.
Mister Glasbey was the highest-in-command of the Southern region branch of Dragon Corps, and his orders were
like the holy grail; no one ever dared to disobey them, no matter if they were a Golden Dragon Guard or a Platinum
Dragon Guard.

Leon was the first one to ever attempt such a feat!
Besides, from what he knew, Leon was an exceptionally high -ranking Platinum Dragon Guard.
All the Platinum Dragon Guards attained at least the Almighty State, which meant that they were more powerful
than Poisonwielder. Therefore, Oliver could not understand why Leon did not want to take on this task.
"Never mind, you can think of it as if I'm joking, but I'll call Mister Glasbey right now and talk to him directly!" Leon
replied after some thought. Although he was indeed a Platinum Dragon Guard, he was not powerful enough to
defeat Poisonwielder. However, there was no point in explaining this to Oliver. It was better to just phone Alfred
directly and ask him to send someone else!
Talking to Alfred directly would also save him trouble, should something else happen and his message failed to get
across to Alfred.
With that, Leon took out his phone and dialed Alfred's number.
