115 Chapter 114 (1/2)
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.
