Chapter 272 272:A Proper Date[II]
Leon glanced around the theme park, looking at the different rides. He pointed at the roller coaster, dropping fast from a tall height, and asked Sophia, "Should we try that one?"
"Sure," Sophia replied, trying to suppress her excitement.
Not entirely convinced by her quick answer, Leon pointed at another ride. "How about that one?"
"It's fine too," Sophia said.
Leon pointed to another ride nearby. "What about that one?"
Sophia nodded again. "That's okay too."
"Everything's okay?" Leon asked, surprised.
Sophia nodded, her face lit up with excitement.
"What are you? A little small kid who is visiting an amusement park for the first time."
Sophia puffed her cheeks, answering in a grumbling voice,"The place where I grew up didn't have rides."
Leon, who was pulling Sophia, almost slipped and snapped his head with bewilderment.
'What the hell? Did she grow up in the middle of the ocean or desert?'
Leon suppressed his intrusive thought to hit her head.
Just then, he noticed several gazes and saw people looking at them weirdly.
"Haha! My girlfriend is a bit funny. She is joking," chuckling a bit, Leon squeezed Sophia's arms.
"Isn't it?"
"No, I am speak..."
Leon put his palm on her lips.
Leon chuckled, "Well, I guess you're enjoying this place as much as I am so you are in on the joke."
Feeling that Sophia didn't seem to hate the park and was in a good mood, Leon gently took her wrist and led her to the nearest ride.
"UHMM...I...aM Not JoKin!"
"Well then, why don't we try all of them?"
...
Sophia screamed in fear as the roller coaster rushed forward. Leon, noticing her distress, reached out to comfort her.
"It's okay, Sophia," he reassured her, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. "I'm here with you. Just hold on tight."
Sophia gripped his hand tightly, finding solace in his presence. As the ride continued, Leon kept talking to her, distracting her from her fear with light conversation and jokes.
By the time the roller coaster slowed to a stop, Sophia was breathing heavily but smiling. "Thanks, Leon," she said, grateful for his support.
"No problem," Leon replied with a smile. "Let's go find another ride, shall we?"
Hearing this Sophia's steps faltered and she gave Leon a grievous look as if she had been long which made Leon chuckle.
"Come on Sophia, you are already a Martial Emperor.."
"No..I..."
Sophia smiles, feeling reassured by Leon's Sophia puts her head on Leon's shoulder.
...
Sophia and Leon had a scrumptious meal in a nearby hotel but by the time they ordered the dessert, Sophia's tender voice echoed.
"Leon, I will be preparing dessert with my own hands."
"Huh!" Leon's spoon almost slipped when he heard this.
However, before he could reply, Sophia asked curiously, "Are we spending the night here?"
"No!"Leon shook his head.
"The hotel is dangerous..."
Leon's eyes twinkled due to the emergence of an unsavory memory.
It was one unforgettable night for him when he found an annoying asshole putting shady videos of him.
He didn't want to check and break things if he found hidden cams.
No, why waste time uselessly when he had means of his own?
After dinner, Leon took Sophia's hands and walked on the road.
"I have already prepared a place. Just follow me."
Holding Leon's hands, Sophia stepped in, and in the next second, the world before her blurred and changed making her bewildered.
While a joyous atmosphere prevailed between Leon and Sophia, outside the place.
Two anonymous figures hiding in the shadows freaked out.
"Damn! They were walking straight...How did they disappear in the middle of the road."
"Did they notice us?"
"How is this possible, with our stealth even Martial Saint would find it difficult to locate us unless we make a move. We are born special with innate shadow control."
"So what should we do?"
The two stared at one another.
"Let's call the boss."
They two nodded and were about to contact each other when their bodies froze as both of them felt a grip on their shoulders.
Frozen like a statue they looked back only to see an anonymous ghost.
A woman with greenish eyes tilted her head with venom.
"Filthy mongrels...You dare to disturb my Master's sweet moments...You must have a death wish."
Following this they soon found themselves surrounded by several ghostly figures and on top of that two Martial Saint figures locked the space making them unable to move.
"SHIT!"
It was at that moment, they knew that they fucked up very badly.
