Novel Bin 115 Chapter 114
After one hour waiting for Betty to recover from the shock, Leon was already tired of it. It looked like she forgot that they were in the territory of a country they just invaded. Fortunately, when Leon got up to complain, Betty headed to the chopper and sat on the pilot\'s seat.
"Let\'s go…" Betty said, showing an exhausted expression.
"Don\'t think too much about it, Betty," Leon said. "You are a good person, so you just tried to think they were your friends despite their obvious shady actions. They probably even received orders to act friendly once in a while to fool you."
"… Was that supposed to cheer me up?" Betty frowned.
"I\'m sorry… my social skills are kind of rusty." Leon showed a complicated expression. "I won\'t be able to stop and work on our territory for a while, but I assure you that I will never betray you, and I can even take you to a place where you can find some trustworthy people."
"How can I trust in other people after this?" Betty asked. "You spent four years on an island, you returned three months ago, and you already know in who you can trust?"
"Yes, to some extent," Leon said. "I don\'t know how or why you came to the North, but if you had stayed in the South for a while, you could have met them. Hector, my sister, and Sasha are working in Las Vegas, and they are doing a pretty good job there."
"Hector and Sasha survived?" Betty asked, surprised. "Now I can understand why you found your sister after so many years and still left her to do this job…
"Anyway, Like I said, if you want to, I can take you to them," Leon said. "But, I think you would be more useful in New York, leading the survivors."
"That is very funny… I\'m such a good leader that my subordinates almost killed me." Betty forced a smile.
"Don\'t be a drama queen… Well, it is your choice," Leon said. "I will find some not so shady people to lead the survivors in New York and warn them not to use their human resources and resources to screw with other nations. Betty, this pilot was the one who rescued you guys in Tokyo?"
"Yes," Betty said.
"Well, then it is game over for him too," Leon said.
Leon created several steel rings to make him unable to move a single finger, and he also covered his mouth with a piece of cloth. Considering that everyone in the organization could use cellphones, the chances of William, Sanchez, and Alisson being aware of his skills and of his actions were pretty high. However, he had to face them directly no matter what to solve that problem once and for all.
After leaving Italy, they flew until they reached the Island where they rested a few days ago. It was very unpleasant for Betty to look after the people she thought were her friends, even more, when they were showing the terror through their eyes. They couldn\'t move their bodies, and they knew death soon would come to them… it was like a nightmare. However, it couldn\'t be helped since the chopper had to absorb mana.
While Leon and Betty were resting, suddenly, an explosion happened nearby. Now Leon was sure that William and the others knew about him, and they probably gave the order to those six to attack him. Leon left the tent only to find ten choppers and several soldiers attacking the island. The first thing they destroyed was the chopper that Leon and Betty used.
"Tch… Now they really have done it."
Luckily, for situations like that, the directors constructed underground shelters on the island they used. Leon had already considered that they could be attacked, so he hid the pilot and Betty\'s ex-friends there.
"What are you going to do?" Leon asked.
"… I will help." Betty hesitated for a second. "But try to negotiate with them first, if possible, just knock them down."
"Are you for real?" Leon frowned. "Why don\'t you ask me to defeat all of them with my bare fists as well?"
"I\'m just saying…" Betty paused when a Fire Ball almost hit them, but Leon blocked the projectile with an Earth Wall. "If you want to change things in our territory, you will have a hard time convincing everyone if you kill those who oppose you indiscriminately."
"You talk as if I\'m the bad guy here, It is not like they have the numerical advantage or anything…" Leon sighed. "But you have a point."
"Let\'s just destroy the blade of the choppers and knock everyone one down," Betty said. "You just defeated the remaining S rank members of our organization, so those guys must be rank A or lower. You can do that, right?"
"… Yeah." Leon said while blocking the magic projectiles that were aimed at the tent.
Leon wondered how William, Sanchez, and Allison planned to reunite the world when they didn\'t have many S rank members. Betty\'s team had the behavior of professionals, but they got careless. After observing Leon for a few days, they concluded they knew everything about him and tried to kill him. They made a big mistake…
"Those three were hiding something… they must have hidden cards up their sleeves."
Even if that was true, it wasn\'t something Leon could think at that moment. He had to knock down several choppers while making sure to capture at least one… while avoiding deaths.
"This has to be some kind of joke…"
Trying to be a good guy and solving all the problems the best way possible wasn\'t easy. Leon also had to hold back in order not to make more enemies… things in human society were so complicated that Leon missed a little his days on the island.
