32 32:Are You A Cougar?
"Favor.....Huh?"
"Tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."Sophia licked her plump cherry lips.
Instead of answering immediately, Leon smiled faintly, closing his eyes.
[1 year of your life span has been deducted.]
'Holy shit!'
'What a crazy day! I can't believe I rushed there to commit suicide. If it turns out that I didn't have the power to avert death then I would be fucked up.'
'Not that dying matters to me anyway.'
And for some reason, he wanted to die and see Vesturon's reactions who must have surely paid to throw him here only to find him coming back after doing nothing and freeloading.
Vesturon might vomit blood for real if he heard the and cursed himself for choosing such a psycho.
It wasn't a wasted effort as Leon managed to hurt Seph and also found out about his secret guard strength as well as his next protector.
Leon shrugged his shoulders startling Sophia who noticed a slight fluctuation of spiritual qi in Leon, bringing a subtle change but Sophia wasn't able to point out that change.
"Can you arrange some things for me? You can deduct the cost from the money I send back."Leon spoke looking at Sophia's eyes that seemed to be scanning him.
"That's not a favor, Leon."
"You giving me some time is already a favor."
"Sweet talker, "Sophia laughed softly.
"First do you know any disguise techniques or concealment?"
"Disguising techniques are hard to find and are generally restricted by the sects and organizations. I can find some but they can just change facial appearance, not the whole body.
As for concealment, I have some."Sophia informed Leon who picked up the word sect and ignored the rest.
'Sect...I expected that but this guy didn't know much. He knew about the Esper Alliance that handles cultivators in Aurorica as his mother was one of the top members in it.'
Unlike Elysium, Aurorica developed on the concept of Mana. They developed special abilities of attributes trying to incorporate magic.
The Magic incantation that they came up with might sound fancy but in the end, it was just cultivation techniques. After years, they have integrated the concept of Qi but the term Esper is still used in place of cultivators till now.
"Secondly, I need some pills that heal energy and replenish qi."
"Huh!"
Confusion etched on Sophia's face.
"Pill...You mean alchemy pills."
"Is there a problem?"Leon asked, seeing Sophia reacting as if he had asked something absurd.
"It seems, you aren't aware of this. We have potions, not pills."
Question marks hovered above Leon's head.
'Is this a cultivation world or a Magic world.'
"I only did this for you. Out of everyone else, I found you oddly captivating and charming enough. More than that, I feel nice when I am with you."
"So, I just wanted a compliment. I thought boys like you like this as advised by my friend but it seems I am wrong."Sophia's cold expression faltered.
If her subordinates saw this, they would scream.
'Who is she?'
'Where is our boss?'
Leon smiled upon hearing the sudden confession and attacked immediately, taking Sophia by surprise.
Wrapping one of his arms around Sophia and pushing him to the wall, he leaned forward to take a kiss.
Sophia's whole body froze like a statue. There was no struggle nor meekness rather she anticipated what was about to come but...
Leon instead of kissing her on her lips, kissed her cheek softly.
Sophia's eyes at Leon as if asking what was that.
"Now is not the time. I am sure you are still stifled about this and just said that to me at the moment of impulse."
"I don't want to have any superficial relationship or just a sex friend. It would be better if we strive for one another wholeheartedly. I might have a few more later but it won't exceed 10. I can't promise to bring stars and moon to you but you will certainly find me beside yours in every situation whether it's a time of woes or joy."
Truth was, Leon managed to control his impulse at the last moment.
There was still a barrier in his heart.
He knew she had yet to contact a protagonist and a villain so who knows if she developed special feelings for them.
Even if his halo averts others' halo, but the villain's handsomeness wasn't one can ignore. One may even question their sexuality after seeing them.
So, Leon wanted to wait for those meetings.
If she develops special feelings for them, he wouldn't give a shit about her but if she manages to pass through the hurdle.....
Sophia's expression faltered as it took a moment for her to understand what Leon meant.
"Hahaha!"Sophia burst into laughter and held Leon's head.
"I thought you would just lunge at me but it seems you are a gentleman. And how can you be frank about taking other girls in front of someone in the confessing stages."
"I am not a gentleman and it's better to come out with the truth. I don't like to play hide and seek with the ones who trusted me but me having more wives isn't entirely sure. I am just saying so that you can prepare yourself mentally if you want to go with me."Leon answered straightly.
He is faithful to his wishes wholeheartedly.
Sophia didn't know what to say. It took a great deal of courage for her to say all that but this guy just ruined everything.
However, his frankness straightforward was what made her fall for him. Moreover, she wasn't much averse to this as the men in upper society had many women to ensure producing a good heir but she would surely be angry if he hid and lie behind her back.
"By the way, I have a question."Leon's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Yes?"Sophia spoke with a playful smile.
"By chance are you still single because you are a cougar who is into younger boys but couldn't find anyone."
A brief silence prevailed which was broken by Sophia hitting Leon who feeling a deadly crisis ray away from his wi...sorry he meant run for his life.
