Chapter 56 Misunderstanding

56 Misunderstanding

If Leon wanted the Purple Heart eternal flower, he would have to take it forcefully. But, could he achieve that with is present strength?

1

No, and Leon knew This very well. What he needed now was to increase his strength, he at least needed to be at level 3 before he could even think of proceeding.

"Umm, how can a place like this exist inside the royal capital?" From behind Leon, gunta questioned while covering his nose from the putrid smells from his environment.

This place was an alleyway next to a small river crossing, that wasn't the problem. The problem was the number of Warlocks and slaves here.

It seemed like this part of the city had been abandoned by the city because, there were no guards to even harass the Warlocks.

"It's not our problem, we are approaching..." Leon said to gunta while his eyes stayed glued to a house in front.

The house wasn't the usual rented apartments that were littered all over the city, it was a proper home, at least that was until it was abandoned. Now it looked like a hunted house.

"Crrr"

Leon pushed the old decrepent door, and it simply swung open, revealing the insides of the house. Then he and gunta proceeded to let themselves in.

"This can't be where he lives, right?" Gunta spoke quietly into Leon ear.

But of course Leon ignored him and entered the house. Amir had explained that their agreed meeting place wasn't his connect's home, but just a place they would meet when he was ready to cash in the favor.

"Hello!!"

Inside the main living Area of the house, Leon said loudly, trying to get the attention of Amir's connect. Amir had sent out a raven to let him know they would be meeting today, so by all means he should already be here.

"Hello!!" But no matter how loud Leon screamed, there was no reply. Maybe the man wasn't coming, or maybe after seeing that it wasn't Amir approaching, he decided to leave.

"Hmmm, gunta join me" Leon gently said to gunta with a sly smile on his face. Findd new updates at novelhall.com

"Hello!!!!!!!!!"

"Hellooo!!!!!!!"

"Hellooooo!!!!"

They began screaming at the top of their voices, drawing the attention of everyone around the area.

(That place was usually quite, what could be happening? )

The passersby questioned.

"Shit, stop that!!"

From the ceiling beams of the old decrepent house, a voice resounded abruptly, forcing Leon and gunta to shut up.

"Hehe, finally decided to reveal yourself, huh?" Leon smiled.

At first, Leon thought there was no one there, but after looking around the house, he noticed a lot of hidden things. As if someone were trying to hide the fact that they were living in this building.

Immediately, Leon knew there was only one person that could be living here.

It was Amir's connect. He had lied about not living here to throw Amir off.

"Hello, I'm from Amir. He told me to seek you out, I would like to join your group" Leon bowed his head.

The members of the faceless mercenary company were veiled in secrecy, unlike the other groups that had members arresting people all over the city.

They dealt strictly in assassinations and sometimes guarded influential people.

"This isn't what I agreed to, the favor is for Amir not you!" In the shadows, a figure in black with a faceless mask harrumphed.

He was injured and Amir helped him, but he didn't appreciate his good will being outsourced to someone else. It was disrespectful.

He was behind in a high-speed chase, but for some reason Leon seemed to have the upper hand here.

—puuuu

—puuuuu

—puuuu

Wind arrow after Wind arrow came flying towards the faceless mercenary, causing his apparitions to fade and his real body to dodge.

Slowly This move was devolving his apparitions spell.

"Damn it"

The faceless mercenary was now more than ever convinced that Leon was sent by the Dalriss family, if not, how did he know how to disable his spells so quickly?

"I can't let up" he continued running away and Leon kept chasing. Occasionally Leon's arrows would graze him, sometime he would stumble trying to dodge them.

One thing was certain though, he couldn't keep it up. He was getting desperate.

"Please come rescue me, I don't think I can keep this up any longer" the faceless mercenary screamed into a pin on his clothes.

He had no choice but to call in backup from the faceless mercenary company.

However, it was too late for that. If he had called them at the beginning of the race, then maybe they would have gotten here on time, but now he was weak and tired.

Eventually.

'Blood Serpent work : Anaconda Grip"

From behind, Leon used a warlock spell. The faceless mercenary first felt a force pressed up on his body, then it started tightening until

—Boom

He fell to the floor, nearly conscious.

"Sigh" Leon came to a slow stop beside his body.

"Haa haha haaa" the faceless mercenary breathed heavily from pure exhaustion.

It didn't seem like it, but this chase had gone on for about 2 hours, and it was deep at night.

Unlike Warlocks, mages had weaker physique, although they made up for it with their mastery over mana and a variety of spells.

Of course, that wouldn't save him now, his exhaustion was justified.

"Still won't give it up?" Leon bent down and looked straight into the slits of his eyes.

"I would rather die!!" The faceless mercenary gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Sigh!! I don't even understand why you're so adamant.... I guess I have no choice" Leon shook is head.

Then he grabbed the man by his leg and started pulling him on the cold, hard floor.

"Badur's gates" Leon muttered and a giant ominous metal gate appeared on one of the walls of the alley way.

—Dang!!!

The gate swung open and bathed the alleyway with negative energy. This immediately struck a cord in the heart of the faceless mercenary.

Fear!!!

Uncertainty!!!

Helplessness!!

He felt all these emotions at once. He couldn't even muster the strength to scream. He just laid there as Leon dragged him into the hellish gates.
