71 Chapter 70 (1/2)
After laughing for several seconds, Makoto took a deep breath and then looked Leon in the eyes again. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly got heavy.
”There is one more topic we have to discuss, Leon,” Makoto said.
”Which is?” Leon asked.
”You are from Phoenix in Arizona, right?” Makoto asked.
”Yes,” Leon said.
”Well… how can I say this.” Makoto showed a complicated expression. ”Your hometown was one of the places…”
”… That got nuked.” Leon looked downward with a cold expression. ”Is that so…”
”I'm sorry for telling you that kind of thing at this moment.” Makoto closed his eyes.
”No, I must thank you for giving me that information before seeing with my own eyes,” Leon said. ”The shock of seeing without knowing would be bigger… Anyway, there is the chance that they escaped before it exploded, but I will discover that myself. About the spies who killed your son, they stole water dragon's scales, right? Do you have any clue where those are being used?”
”I would recommend you to start looking in Las Vegas,” Makoto answered. ”My spies saw some survivors using armor made of those scales there. Coincidentally, Las Vegas isn't that far away from your hometown, right? There is a chance that you find your family there or at least some old acquaintances.”
”Yeah, thank you for answering my questions.” Leon slightly bowed his head. ”I will return with the criminals who killed your son as soon as possible.”
”I'm counting on you.” Makoto tapped Leon's shoulders. ” Appear, guide Leon to the place in question.”
Out of nowhere, a person wearing dark clothes appeared. It looked to be a man, and his clothes made him look like a ninja. Considering that he appeared out of nowhere, it was safe to assume he was a ninja and one of those who spied him.
”Yes, Your Majesty.” The ninja kneeled and nodded.
”I guess this is a goodbye, huh,” Ren said.
”You wish, I will return to get my spoils of the dungeons.” Leon frowned while offering a handshake. ”Don't spend my coins on anything, and don't die before you pay me back.”
