久久一本通凹凸一道久视

Little by little, those who got knocked down by Leon and Betty woke up. After being utterly defeated, they didn\'t have the will to fight against the man who beat them while holding back. They thought they would die, but they felt a little relieved when they heard from the others about Leon\'s intentions.

Since most soldiers were just following the orders to have a good life, they decided not to antagonize Leon. However, they had a few questions.

"What are you going to do?" A random soldier asked.

"I will do exactly what I said," Leon explained. "I will imprison those who were involved in Makoto\'s son\'s death and offer their heads to avoid a war."

"And after that? Will you become the new leader? Will you take the things we earned after we worked so hard?" The soldier asked.

"No, after solving this problem, I will go to my home." Leon recalled Gisela\'s history." You guys can nominate a new leader, a not greedy person would be preferable. You guys can keep the maids and butlers that work for you, but unlike those three, I won\'t ignore any mistreatment. They cannot fight and don\'t have many skills to contribute to this world, at least, as of now. However, they are still human beings. They deserve to be respected."

It would be a good idea to teach those who were weak and coward how to use magic, with the training they could become a decent force. However, Leon didn\'t have time to do that for them. Nor he wanted to protect all the weak and helpless persons in the world because that was beyond his abilities. He wanted to do something like Tom to help the world, but he wouldn\'t dedicate his life to it. His sister and niece were his main priorities.

"What will you do if the emperor doesn\'t keep his promise?" Another random soldier asked. "He is sending his spies to cause dungeon breaks, after all."

"I don\'t think he is," Leon answered. "I think someone is trying to cause a war between them and us. However, if Makoto doesn\'t keep his promises and tries to destroy my homeland, then I will kill him myself."

"Hey, Leon," Betty whispered. "Don\'t call him by his first name; people will think you two are buddies or something. You shouldn\'t say that you will kill him either."

"Why not? I don\'t have any more reasons to lie." Leon said. "I will do that to any assholed who tries to mess with me."

"Geez, you are so bloodthirsty..." Betty frowned.

"That is not the case; I just don\'t have time to deal with those who cause me problems," Leon said. "Anyway, anyone who wants to keep trying to mess with me should take a step forward. The others wait for a while. Eventually, I will send the choppers to pick you guys up."

In the end, not a single person stepped forward. However, after a while, Tom approached, he didn\'t look friendly like before. Even though not even a week had passed since the time they worked together.

"... Are you really not working for the Japanese?" Tom asked.

"If I were working for them, why would I have brought the Angelic Bow?" Leon asked. "Although I won\'t show mercy to those who try to kill me more than one time, my goal is to avoid meaningless deaths."

"Maybe because you wanted another powerful weapon," Tom said. "Maybe this is just an act to fool all survivors."

"Who said that I would use the bow?" Leon frowned. "I\'m not that proficient with the weapon, so I will give it to someone who is. That person will defeat the demons while I deal with William, Sanchez, and Alisson."

"Who is that person?" Tom asked.

"My sister, she lives somewhat nearby the demons\' dungeon," Leon explained. "She is the best archer in her region, and someone who lives there should do the job, not me."

"I don\'t think you should do that," Betty said. " Your skeletons will be essential to avoid deaths."

"I cannot leave William and the other two alone," Leon said. "They may plot something troublesome if I try to kill the demons. With your help, she, Hector, and Sarah can save many lives."

"So, you intend to defeat them alone?" Betty asked.

"Yes, this is my job, after all," Leon said. "I have a feeling that they are more powerful than they look. So, I don\'t want to risk anyone\'s lives in the battle that I started."

"Phew… if you are willing to go to that extent, then I guess I have no reason to doubt you." Tom said. "Honestly, when I heard that you were a traitor, I just thought about killing you before you could cause more people to rebel. Our new society is far from perfect, but the uncertainty of a new leader isn\'t something that we need. Without those three, we will face a lot of problems, but it will be better than letting them lead us to war against other humans."

"I wanted for Betty to become the new leader, but she rejected the idea," Leon said. "So, based on the people I know, you are the second-best option. You should try, but I must warn you, I don\'t have time for troublemakers. Even if you don\'t become the new leader, you should keep an eye on things."

"You are so full of confidence… you talk as if you already won." Tom frowned. "Let\'s just hope that we can solve our problems before the Russians attack us."

"That is not a problem; I already paid for the rent of the Angelic Bow," Leon said. "If that is not enough, I will try to repay the favor, somehow."

The talk was over, so Leon and Betty rested on the chopper until it got dark. After that, they moved to New York carrying their prisoners and everyone\'s cellphones, just in case.
