Chapter 608 - Target? (2/2)

Radlis believed that Leonel was likely from a latter world, or else it was impossible that he would say such a thing about a Tier 7 treasure. That was the only possible justification.

Anyone who could treat real Tier 7 Black treasures in such a way wouldn't even bother to come to a place like this. They'd be from a Sixth Dimensional world, or at the very least, a world close to it.

Radlis continued on quickly as though not wanting Leonel to respond. He definitely had an odd way of trying to spare feelings.

”Listen man, you can't trust women too much. They're vindictive little demonesses. Your girlfriend likes you now, but when she sees all those tall, handsome men from Hero Peak, all of which will be stronger than you, by the way… Well, it's in their nature to be swayed.”

Leonel was speechless. Why did he feel like he was talking to James again?

Leonel sighed when he thought of that name for the first time in a long while. He hadn't really spent a lot of time at Royal Blue Fort during the war, so he had only had an idea of who was on the battlefield. Thanks to that, he knew that his teammates were fine. But, James hadn't been on the battlefield, so he had no idea where he was.

Though Leonel had promised his coach to James another chance… Truthfully, he didn't know if he wanted to.

”Ai, I know what you're thinking. Your girlfriend isn't exactly… Let me not speak on another man's affections. But, you should know that there are no shortage of powerful and handsome men from Hero Peak who also happen to be very rich. They can probably afford certain… treatments that you cannot.”

Hearing Radlis' endless rambling, Leonel was at a complete loss.

Not speak on another man's affections? What exactly had he been doing, then, for the last ten minutes? He had talked so much that they managed to reach the top of the mountain, only to cross a curtain of Force and be greeted by an entirely new world.

Leonel took it all in with a single glance. If he was in the mood, he might have been quite impressed by what he was seeing. But at the moment, it could be said that if it wasn't for his usually easy going personality, he would have kicked even Radlis far away by now.

”… Listen man, it'll all be fine. There are plenty of fish in the sea…”

Leonel tuned Radlis out.

Was he worried about Aina? Not even a little bit. He didn't have to put up a false sense of bravado about it either.

All he knew was that if it took even him five years and the world almost ending in order to get her to open up to him… Well, he could only say good luck to those who deemed to try.

That said, after their attempts failed, he wouldn't mind teaching them their place.

Not long after the group crossed into Valiant Heart Mountain and took in the city around them, they were met by another group who seemed to have been waiting especially for them.

”That should be him. The one with the long goldish bronze hair.”

As soon as one of them confirmed, the group of five all converged at once.

Their target? Leonel without a doubt.
