150 Chapter 149 (1/2)
”I guess I overdid it…”
Alexei was so pissed that Leon could feel his bloodlust through the call. Still, it was quite troublesome that he was acting as if he hadn't done anything wrong. For someone who managed to conquer almost the whole Europe, he was quite stupid, or perhaps he had a massive ego.
”Sorry for the problems I caused, but you see, you caused a lot of problems to a friend of mine,” Leon said.
”Ah, your friend is here. No wonder Seiji betrayed him, I've never seen someone so stupid. I knew that he was nearby the moment you caused the dungeon breaks, so I prepared a trap, and he fell for it. I just had to show his daughter for a few seconds… can you believe how someone can be so stupid?”
”… He is a father worried about his daughter, I'm not a father, but I can understand his actions.” Leon said. ”Anyway, Alexei. Let's not cause more problems for each other, all right? Surely, someone of your influence can have as many women as you want without having to kidnap them. You probably tortured Makoto, but I'm sure that he is willing to forget this incident if you didn't touch her. I'm the same because even though you are a bit shrewd, I want you to become an ally.”
”You are certainly overestimating yourself… do you really think that you can defeat me? Do you really think you can make me your ally after you have done to my city and my soldiers?”
”I think I can; as a token of my sincerity, I will even give you the gloves that were with Makoto,” Leon said. ”If you let Yuki and Makoto leave today, I will even give you a shield that can decrease the damage of physical and magic attacks. If you do that, I will also return the kid and his friends, and you will be able to prevent them from dying of hunger and thirst.”
”… You didn't kill them?”
”No, as I said, I want us to become allies,” Leon said. ”Besides, the kid has potential. I only defeated him with ease because I have some stupid powerful items.”
”… Stupid brat… after I spent so many resources on him…”
”He is just a kid, Alexei. He will become an important soldier for the world in the future, but he still needs training.” Leon said.
”It doesn't matter; I won't need him once I kill you and obtain your items.”
”… Don't do this, Alexei.” Leon sighed. ”You must know that greedy people don't live long lives. Don't make me fight you. I'm serious; I want an ally like you.”
”I don't need you, I will rule this world on my own, and every single person who dares to defy me will die.”
”Please, Alexei. Don't make me destroy your city, don't make me kill your people.” Leon said.
”Don't worry; you won't kill anyone and destroy anything. You won't have the chance.”
