Chapter 1986
"Well, Elder Hiltons, I won't hesitate to let you know that we are acting on the Platinum Dragon Guard and Mister
Glasbey's orders, so if you have any objection to that, you can talk to Mister Glasbey yourself! All in all, Joel has to
come with us for interrogation!" Oliver said rather hesitantly when he sensed Devon's bubbling true energy.
Considering the Hiltons' influence in the Southern region, he was concerned that just bringing up the Platinum
Dragon Guard would not be sufficient to qualm Devon’s rage, and so he decided to add Mister Glasbey's name to
the mix.
"Well," Devon's expression darkened, but his aura dimmed when he heard this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Oliver and Abraham acted on their own accord, they would have overstepped their line and the Hiltons would
have had a perfect reason to retaliate, but now, everything changed after knowing that they were acting on the
Platinum Dragon Guard and Mister Glasbey's orders!
They were especially intimidated by Mister Glasbey-he was the highest-in-command of the entire Southern region
branch of Dragon Corps, and was far more powerful than even Elder Hiltons himself!
Not even Elder Hiltons dared to go against Mister Glasbey's orders!
"What should we do now, Grandpa?" Joel asked, ashenfaced and looking lost.
"Joel, you should follow them to the headquarters for some questioning. I'll talk to Mister Glasbey myself and
demand an explanation for this!" Devon said coldly. Although Oliver claimed that they were acting on such orders,
he did not believe them a hundred percent.
Therefore, he wanted to demand an explanation from Mister Glasbey himself!
If Oliver and Abraham indeed acted out of line, he would make them pay for this!
However, if they acted following their instructions, he was certain that the Dragon Corps would release Joel soon
enough since they did not have any evidence to prove his wrongdoings at all!
He would only be kept a few days at most!
"Well, okay then." Joel had no choice but to relent.
"Please come with us, Mister Hiltons." Oliver and Abraham could not help sighing in relief when they saw Devon
finally relenting.
With that, Abraham escorted Joel into the car.
"Let's go then!" at this point, there was no longer any indication for the Hiltons to stay, so Devon summoned his

"Finally! It’s all over now!" Iris, Patrick, and the rest finally felt the weight lift off their shoulders.
They were not the only ones relieved by this; Angus, Alan, and the rest of the Thompsons and Hughes were equally
delighted.
Although none of them were at all afraid of the Hiltons, they could not help feeling intimidated by the Hiltons’ sheer
amount of force which significantly overpowered them!
This was especially true for Alan; Gordon's mission almost killed Darius, and because of this, his hatred for Joel ran
even deeper than bone!
Now, Leon not only managed to de-escalate this conflict, but the Dragon Corps successfully arrested Joel, and this
was more than enough for the Hughes!
