Chapter 2211
"Yeah! Not only are these criminals powerful, but they have also been on the criminal list for over seven years, so
not even the Dragon Corps has what it takes to take them down!" Alfred sighed with resignation.
The names on the criminal list were ever-changing, as the Dragon Corps would often succeed in eliminating one or
two criminals a year, only for other criminals to be added to the list later on.
The Poisonwielder, who ranked last place, was recently added to the list merely a few months ago.
Since both the Poisonwielder and the Scarlet Thief ranked under third place, they would likely be eliminated within
five years judging from past references. However, the criminals ranking at the very top of the list were on the list
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor years despite the relentless effort in capturing them.
This was proof of how formidable these criminals were.
"That shouldn't be! There are so many skilled martial artists in the Dragon Corps, so why would you all struggle so
much with three criminals?" Leon asked in surprise.
To his knowledge, the Dragon Corps was understaffed, but all members were powerful martial artists with quite
several Almighty martial artists in the organization.
With such a formidable force, the Dragon Corps should be capable of eliminating the three criminals if they sent out
all capable individuals to attack the criminals, so it seemed impossible that these criminals managed to run free for
years.
"Yeah, you're right! The central region lies in the middle of Sky County and the martial artists there are far more
powerful! It's not challenging for them to deal with those three criminals, but these people are even more cunning
than the likes of Poisonwielder. If the Dragon Corps in the central region target these criminals, they'll take the
opportunity to run to other regions. Hence, the central region has not been able to take much action,' Alfred
explained.
Since the people on the criminal lists were all ruthless and would take lives easily when it became necessary to
them, the Dragon Corps would often need to dispatch a large group of Dragon Guards to eliminate them.
The criminals ranked the first three places were all martial artists in the Advanced or Peak Almighty States, so only
the Dragon Corps in the central district had what it took to take them down; branches in other regions were
understaffed and could not cover such large areas.
The central region was connected to all directions, so once the Dragon Corps took action against the criminals, they

dare to employ full force against the criminals.
To prevent the criminals from causing trouble, the Dragon Corps had influential martial artists patrolling the area to
limit their movement to a certain zone.
The criminals did not dare to show themselves throughout the years and hid themselves from the public's view for
the most part.
They hid in the central region mainly because all three of them originated from the region itself and knew the area
best; on top of that, the central region was connected with all other regions, so they could evade any attack from
the Dragon Corps by running off to any of the other four regions anytime.
Hence, by remaining in the central region, these criminals were able to keep an eye on the Dragon Corps and plan
their escape when necessary
