114 Chapter 113 (2/2)
”Don't worry; they are not dead,” Leon said. ”I just damaged their spines. Makoto will probably want to kill them himself. Besides, if I kill them, William will know. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved; with this, I will owe him only the favor to forgive you.”
”… How did you know what they were planting?” Betty said.
”I never knew, I just thought it was possible that they would try to kill me at the moment when I would be most tired and after completing the mission,” Leon explained. ”When you said that Makoto's son's death was an accident, I got suspicious. He was the only person who died, but he wasn't the only person who chased your team. I can't imagine him being weak since he worked in the security of such special materials… considering all of that, his death might have been part of the mission, but it looks like you didn't know.”
”Why William would want the death of the prince?” Betty asked with her head down.
”Perhaps he wanted a war, or perhaps someone paid him to do it…” Leon scratched the back of his head. ”It is difficult to conclude having so little information. Hah… at this point in time, Alisson and Sanchez may as well be accomplices in the crime. This will be a pain…”
In the end, Leon will have to question them. To think that the people who united the survivors of three nations were that troublesome… the Allied Forces needed them, but it looked like Leon would have to find someone else for occupying their positions
While Leon was thinking about what to do, he heard the sound of the helicopter took off. Without a hint of hesitation, he shot a stone bullet in the pilot's head. Although his job was to pilot, he was quite strong, Leon only managed to knock him out.
”Betty, can you pilot that?” Leon asked. ”For how long do you intend to mop around? We don't have time for this, did you forget that every minute demons are leaving that dungeon?”
”… Can't you give me a few minutes to rest?” Betty glared at Leon. ”If you didn't notice, the people who I thought were my friends almost killed me.”
Leon sighed; he had so many problems in his head that moping around was a luxury that he didn't have. He didn't even consider that… Regardless, Leon picked several pieces of clothing and covered Betty's 'friends' mouth. They were conscious, but they could only move their heads.
”You guys thought that I could only use magic through my hands… too bad, I made you think that.” Leon said. ”It is a joke that William and those two can control the world using a bunch of careless survivors like you.”
Since Gisela couldn't recover her eye, Leon was pretty sure the damage in their spine wouldn't heal as well. But Leon covered their arms and legs with steel rings in order to prevent them from moving, just in case.
Despite having the nerve of trying to screw with Leon and even using Betty as a hostage, they helped him a lot. Although their equipment was nowhere as good as Leon's, they were pretty decent. That being said, Leon had no idea of what to do with them since he would keep using the scythe…
