The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky

Chapter 2296
Once the three left, Arthur gritted out coldly, "Damn the Demon Lord! August, arrange our men to look around for the Demon
Lords. Once we find something, report to me right away so we can join forces with the Dragon Corps to take the Demon Lord
down!"
After what Leon said, Arthur was misled into believing that the Demon Lord was responsible for Yonas's death.
Though the Demon Lord was powerful and the Thompsons may not be able to face him alone, the Thompsons were still the
head of all families in the southern region with countless connections.
With the Thompsons' help to track the Demon Lord down, the Dragon Corps would have an easier time finding the Demon Lord;
with the Thompsons and the Dragon Corps on the same side, they might be able to kill the Demon Lord and avenge Yonas.
"Dad, calm down for a second! There are still a lot of things that seem weird. The Demon Lord might not be the killer! We can't
act recklessly," August said thoughtfully.
"Weird? What's weird?" Arthur asked.
"First of all, Fiona, Norm, and Sully all accused Leon to be the murderer! The three of them were with Yonas the entire time, so
they can't possibly be confused about who the killer was! Besides, the Demon Lord is famously ruthless even
amongst the individuals on the criminal list! If he was the one who killed Yonas, why didn't he kill Fiona and the other two?"
August analyzed.
"Well," Arthur was instantly rendered speechless.
August was right. Considering how vicious the Demon Lord was, he would not leave any witness alive if he was responsible for
Yonas's death and that alone seemed suspicious.
"Besides, Mister Wolf didn't confirm that the Demon Lord is responsible because he doesn't have any proof of it yet.
Before we know for sure that the Demon Lord did this, it's best we don't provoke him or we may risk the lives of everyone in this
family," August added.
Though everyone wanted to rid the community of evil criminals like the Demon Lord, the Thompsons hardly had enough power
to take down one of the top three criminals on the list.

If it was confirmed that the Demon Lord killed Yonas, the Thompsons were willing to risk everything to retaliate, but at this
moment, there was no telling if the Demon Lord was truly involved.
If the Thompsons took the initiative to hunt the Demon Lord down, the Demon Lord would do everything in his power to hurt the
Thompsons and the Thompsons would find themselves in an extremely dangerous position.
"Yeah, you are right! But, if the Demon Lord isn't responsible, who's the culprit?" Arthur scowled.
"I don't know. Based on what we know so far, Leon is still the biggest suspect because of what Fiona and the others said. The
Demon Lord is the second suspect at best," August said.
Fiona was Yonas's girlfriend and an ordinary woman, who had no motive or power to murder Yonas. On top of that, even Norm
and Sully accused Leon of the murder, so August did not suspect anything of what Fiona said.
Though the Dragon Guards determined that Yonas died of a second blow to his injury, they were not able to provide any firm
evidence and words alone could not make Leon any less of a suspect.
Because of that, August still believed that Leon was the one who killed Yonas.
