Chapter 105 105:Unexpected Encounter
"So, what did he come for? A confession of his love, perhaps?"
"Is this jealousy I am smelling from a thousand miles away?" Sophia teased from the other side but frowned, seeing no reply.
Her heart quivered, wondering if she touched Leon's sensitive spot.
"Leon, are you angry?"
A brief silence followed, making Sophia worried.
Hearing no reply, Sophia shouted aloud from the other side.
"LEON! LEON!"
While Sophia's heart was almost on the verge of bursting, Leon, whom she thought was becoming angry, was stupefied for a moment seeing a familiar figure.
"Huh!" Leon snapped out of his thoughts and spoke.
"Sorry, Sophia, I was just lost in thought. Don't worry, I am not a sour lemon, and it's not as if we have gone forward. You can choose him if you want; I have no problem."Leon grinned with a mischievous smile waiting for Sophia's reply.
"Shut up! You just want to get rid of me but it's not going to happen Noel. I will be like a shackle that is bound to you until the end of your life."
Leon burst into laughter hearing this and muttered inwardly,' She had an odd character.'
"Let's just get to the point," Sophia shouted, flustered by the sudden turn of events, and started narrating events about the meeting with Seph and then another thing.
Leon's brows furrowed for a moment as he heard about Seph's recent endeavor.
'A clinical trial of certain serum. Is he trying to replicate the Serum I gave to Argent, perhaps by trying to complete it or did he get something from the system to make use of?'
Leon tapped on the armrest and just listened quietly to Sophia's words before voicing out his thoughts.
"I see, the guy whom your sister Feng Ruoxi loved after destroying her disappeared before she could have her revenge. She wasted so many days of her life grinding to accomplish her mission only to find the mission disappeared," Leon commented softly with a strange glint.
"And Seph said he could find him," Leon muttered with an understanding look, knowing it was as easy as a snap of fingers to find someone by asking the system. It was exactly like his Fortune Seeker skill.
Leon tapped on his armrest for a moment while keeping an eye on a figure from the other row.
"Do you want to accept it?"
"No!" Sophia rebutted and spoke coldly in an increased voice.
"I am not naive, and I truly understand what he wants. Though he might be gentlemanly and kind to his woman, I can see his wolfish ambitions. He is choosing me because of my position and power. Women are like playthings for him."
"I am also the same, Sophia. Do you think I am not into you for your powers? What if I said my wish is to borrow your name to gain backing."
"PFT!"
A soft, pleasant giggle came from the smartphone, baffling Leon.
"You are the last one who would look for backing. No matter how much one acts, some behaviors can be seen easily. You hate backing and relying on others. You don't want the support of others. Moreover, compared to Seph, you are quite humane, and though you look indifferent, there is genuine care in your voice."
Leon pinched his brows hearing this.
"You are misunderstanding. I am just a crude, cold, heartless man."
"I know, so stop belittling yourself."
"By the way, there is another thing," Leon said, then turned his head towards the figure who was also observing him and dropped the bomb.
"Your sister is also here."
"...."
A deadly silence lingered for a moment.
After a brief pause, Sophia chuckled again.
"I already know this. She had accepted the Vampire hunt mission, that's why I am telling you all this. Take care of her, and if possible, help her."
"Help her with what?" Leon started feeling deja vu.
"Help her to heal her heart."
"What the heck..."
"Mister, please don't curse. Though it's a luxury class, and you are free to talk, you can't talk loudly and curse." The air hostess reprimanded Leon politely, but her eyes were shooting daggers at him.
"Hmm! I apologize."
Leon's expression distorted as he looked back, Sophia had already cut the call.
'Damn! Did that woman set me up?'
He was surprised to see Feng Ruoxi here, and then Sophia's call came abruptly, making him ponder if this was a coincidence or if Sophia planned something.
"Whatever! It's not as if I fear, but isn't she a Martial Lord? It seems the danger is quite severe this time."
Arriving at the airport, Leon looked for a car.
Leon searched for Sophia's sister, but she seemed to have disappeared from his sight.
They were asked to arrive at Manor in the Pinewood forest, which was about 40 kilometers away.
It was a small forest at the end of the city by a riverside. It was afternoon when the car drove into the forest. The lazy afternoon sun shone its light through the peaceful ambiance.
As the car roared, destroying the calmness, Leon started to wonder where the girl disappeared.
Since they were taking some road, he should have seen her around.
At that time…
BANG!
The whole car shook slightly as a huge force descended upon the roof out of nowhere.
Leon almost pulled out a shotgun to shoot through the roof when he heard a cold voice.
"Calm down! It's me, Feng Ruoxi."
'Fuck! Did I just raise a red flag?'
Leon stopped the car, parking at the side, and screamed, coming out of the car while assuming a fighting stance.
"Hey woman, are you out of your mind?"
"You should be happy that I haven't gouged out your eyes for staring at me on the plane," Feng Ruoxi snorted.
"So what is this? An ambush set by you to kill me?" Leon asked with a mocking smile, looking at the scarlet figure.
She was slender with curves and thickness in the right place. Her hair was on the darker side of red compared to Sophia's.
Her demeanor and gracefulness looked almost similar to Sophia's but differed in her face. Sophia was more like mixed-
American Chinese while Feng Ruoxi was typically Chinese, with flowing scarlet hair that cascaded down her shoulders, and that coldness on her face added more to her captivity.
"What will you do if I say yes?"
Leon immediately raised his guard, as with her Martial Lord realm, if she made a move, he would die in a flash for real, and the loss of lifespan wouldn't be a mere 1 year after he resurrected as with the increase in each realm, the lifespan exchange would also increase.
Feng Ruoxi's lips curled upward seeing Leon's tensed appearance.
"Are you here to kill me?" Leon asked with a dry smile.
"I will if you aren't the man my sister was referring to."
Feng Ruoxi widened her legs apart, placed her hand on her chest, and then released the pressure with which her scarlet rose defying gravity and emitting an immense shockwave, blasting away the surroundings around her.
"So, tell me, are you my sister's man?" She asked with a playful smile, but her eyes were emanating a fierce coldness.
Hearing this question, Leon gave a blank expression and replied, making the woman's change.
"No, I am not..." Leon hadn't even finished his speech when he saw Feng Ruoxi vanishing from the spot, and he found his vision changing and his body flung into the air, radiating a powerful gale.
