Chapter 159: Leon And Irina[IV]
The dagger descended as fast as lightning and was about to touch the throat when it disappeared all of a sudden much to her surprise.
Her pupils dilated in surprise at the sight of the dagger's sudden vanishment. She raised her chin and stared at Leon wordlessly for a moment.
"The daggit vanished."
A myriad of emotions flashed in her eyes and with a smile that bloomed subconsciously, she asked with a parched voice, "Leon! Did you forgive me?"
Irina, unable to hold in anymore, collapsed on the floor as her leg buckled. A sense of weakness washed over her.
"Forgive my ass!"Leon spat with a distorted expression. He thought that she wouldn't dare to do this and using this opportunity he would just leave but.
It seems she had a few screws lost.
"No, I just don't know how to react to this shitty situation. And it's too much to see someone doing suicide for me and in front of me, "Leon then turned around to hide his complicated expression from Irina.
"So?" Irina's voice choked. Her eyes were already on to shed another flood.
"Can you stop your nuclear weapon from leaking?"Leon shouted in an irritated voice.
"Just give me some time to think and don't loiter around me with that crying expression until I look for you. So just stay away and act as if we don't know each other until then.*
Sighing heavily, Leon decided to return to the camp but he had hardly taken a step when another presence appeared abruptly around them.
"What's going on here?"
A fiery voice exploded in the dead night.
Both Leon and Irina's gazes landed on a handsome man.
He took long strides with the confidence of a born leader, his silver hair catching seemed to glow reflecting the light of a fire torch.
His chiseled features and sharp hawk-like eyes convey strength and determination, while his piercing eyes hold a depth of wisdom beyond his years. In his presence, one can't help but be drawn to his charisma.
Leon tilted his head seeing the trail of words.
Name:Cameron Manson
Age:36
Cultivation:Peak Martial King.
Protagonist:Son-in-law who is the commander of Tiger Regiment.
Cameron looked at crying Irina on the floor and then glared furiously at Leon.
"What did you do to her insolent soldier?"
BOOM!
Just as Cameron's aura crackled with intensity as he prepared to strike Leon, his silver hair glinting in the darkness. But before he could unleash his attack, Irina, stepped forward, her expression suddenly turned cold and icy, betraying the tears she had shed just moments ago.
An exact mirror image of the creepy smile he makes when he kills.
Meanwhile, Cameron shouted hurriedly to clear the situation, "What? Is he your son? Then what are you doing here with that expression of crying and begging as if you have been wronged."
"I thought he was trying to blackmail you or torture you so I acted. I didn't mean to interfere with your family politics...I mean relationship."
"Hell! Just do what you were doing?"
Speaking this, Cameron took a turn immediately and ran hurriedly as if his life was on the line.
Seeing his dispersing back, Irina turned towards Leon with a look of rejoicing and happiness.
Her heart leaped and almost burst into joy when her son called her mother while taking a stand against the Martial King for her.
"Leon, you called me mother just mow!"
Leon felt a shiver meeting her gaze.
"No, you might have heard wrong."
"Sorry, nature is calling me urgently. I need to go and relieve myself."
With a burst of speed, Leon turned back and also ran away feeling that he might go mad if she linger around this woman for long.
Irina's eyes dimmed down and she clenched her fist tightly.
"It's not a bad start."
"No matter what happens , this time I won't let this go. Even if I have to repent my mistake and ask for forgiveness throughout my life, I will keep going until you forgive me or I die. Meanwhile, I also need to search for the perpetrator behind my memory change and manipulation."
Irina's eyes glinted coldly as she thought about this incident and steeled her resolve more to find that vicious criminal.
.....
Meanwhile, outside the gate
In an encounter of terror and amidst sand dyed with bloodied flesh and corpses lying torn all around, a man walked on shifting sand.
"Now that I have taken care of bodyguards, let's go and find the real deal."
His gaze lingered far away on two black dots that seemed to be enjoying life.
"Tsk...Tsk...Even after giving you time to grow, so this is how much you amount to."
A sarcastic voice of mockery echoed.
"You let me down...You let me down so much Roland."
"Whatever, let's just wrap it up so that I can prepare for the storm to come after this Shadow Zone incident is wrapped up."
