Chapter 430

The group charged into the battlefield in the Upper City. Losweiser and Claudia flapped their dragon wings, dispersing the dust.

"There!" Rebecca pointed to the figure ahead.

The group immediately ran over.

Leon stood there, his posture upright, the red steam gradually dissipating from his body, and the blood vessels on his face slowly returning to normal.

Before him stood the trio who had separated from the Primal Nightmare.

At this point, the three brothers were extremely weak and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Gini slowly opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her.

"Leon... you really are ridiculously strong."

Leon remained silent, waiting quietly for something.

As Gini spoke, she clutched her chest and staggered to her feet.

"So now... the empire is finished, right? We... we don't need to be enemies anymore... Please spare the three of us brothers, okay...?"

Leon remained expressionless, tilting his head slightly. "Let... you go?"

Gini nodded vigorously, his ashen face radiating sincerity.

"Yes, we were also helpless before, firmly controlled by the empire. Now that the empire is gone, we are free."

At the same time, the second son, Gitei, also stood up shakily and chimed in.

"Leon ...we did have different stances before, but now that Cantor has fallen, you don't need to be so ruthless as to wipe out our brothers, do you..."

Leon's tone remained calm, and he continued to slowly repeat their words.

"Exterminate them all..."

"You... you are a hero in everyone's eyes, and we are powerless to resist now. Killing us would damage your prestige in everyone's hearts, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, yes, Leon, we're doing this for your sake. Now that you've let us go, the three of us brothers will definitely repay you in the future!"

They pleaded and begged Leon to spare their lives.

However, the one-armed boy, Gimei, who was furthest to the side, secretly pulled out a dagger from behind his waist and slowly moved towards Leon.

Seeing this, Gini and Gitei, who had been begging Leon for forgiveness, immediately joined in and continued to use their silver tongues to attract Leon's attention.

When Gimei got close enough to Leon, he lunged forward and plunged the dagger in his hand into Leon's carotid artery!

Unfortunately—

A nimble figure flashed by and tackled Gimei to the ground, pinning his head firmly to the earth in the blink of an eye.

Nacho restrained Gimei and sneered, "Want to launch a sneak attack? You'll need more practice."

Seeing that their plan had been exposed, the other two stopped hiding and directly confronted Leon, pulling out their hidden daggers and rushing towards him, intending to fight to the death.

But Gitei was tackled by Martin, who rushed up to him, and the dagger was snatched from his hand.

Meanwhile, Gini continued to roar as he charged toward Leon.

"Casmod! I'll take your life! You'll pay with your life today!"

Bang!--

A crisp sniper shot rang out, and the bullet pierced Gini's palm with perfect accuracy.

The dagger in his hand clattered to the ground.

"My... my hand!!!"

Gini collapsed to the ground, clutching his bloodied right hand and howling in pain.

At that moment, Leon slowly walked up to him and looked down at him.

That look in his eyes was filled with disdain and contempt for the loser.

"You just mentioned that you were not in control of your own destiny, or that you were my enemy because of your stance."

"And they want to use the fall of the empire to persuade me to let you go."

"That makes absolutely no sense, Gini."

"Because my reasons for killing you have nothing to do with the Empire, and even less to do with my stance."

"I'm going to kill you because you hurt my master."

"In other words..."

His eyes were devoid of any warmth; they held genuine killing intent.

"This is a personal grudge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon slowly raised his right hand, and three bolts of lightning attached themselves to the hearts of the Knife Trio.

"Leon! Leon, please, let us go— Leon! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!! I'll kill you—"

Snap—

With a snap of his fingers, three bolts of lightning simultaneously detonated the hearts of the Knife Trio.

"Let's talk about it in the next life."

"Team leader!"

Rebecca ran over, carrying a sniper rifle, shouting, "Over there!"

Leon looked in the direction the crazy girl pointed and saw a bloated, fat figure crawling out of the ruins, then trying to sneak away.

"It's your turn to shine," Leon said.

Rebecca smiled knowingly, "Understood!"

After saying that, the girl picked up the sniper rifle, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet shot out from the muzzle, flew through the air in a straight line, and finally pierced Cantor's knee with precision.

Cantor stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Oh, why didn't you shoot that dog emperor dead?" Nacho asked as he walked over.

Rebecca put away her sniper rifle and replied with a smile, "The captain has his own plans."

Leon slowly walked toward the disheveled, fat King.

Cantor didn't have the same cunning Knife Trio; he immediately executed a lightning-fast knee slide.

"I'm sorry, Leon! I... I shouldn't have treated you like that before. You're not a traitor, you... you're a hero of the Empire—"

"Save your breath, you old man."

"I... please don't kill me, please don't kill me."

"I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, Cantor breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, he heard noisy footsteps coming from not far away.

Cantor looked behind Leon; there were the people of the empire.

"Your crimes should be judged by everyone."

After saying that, Leon turned and left.

Cantor reached out to stop Leon, but was immediately surrounded by men, women, and children.

"Dog emperor! Dog emperor! I'll kick you to death!"

"Strip him naked and parade him through the streets!"

"Throw it into the sea to feed the sharks!"

"..."

This revolution has come to a complete end.

Leon, exhausted, limped toward the edge of the battlefield.

Many ordinary people and members of the Lionheart Society wanted to celebrate for him, but he politely declined.

He's so tired right now, he just wants to collapse and sleep.

Of course, he had to see someone before going to sleep.

After walking for a while, a silver-clad figure appeared in his sight.

Leon rubbed his right leg, gritted his teeth, then looked up, revealing a weary smile.

"I won, Losweiser."

The Queen lifted her skirt and ran through the crowds and ruins toward her lover.

They embraced amidst thousands of eyes and kissed amidst a tidal wave of cheers.

2. The whole world knows you're married.

"Ouch!! It hurts! Please be gentle!"

The mournful cries of the Dragon Slayer Hero echoed from the Casmod Orphanage.

Just half an hour ago, the revolutionary who had declared the old empire's demise to the incompetent King and the leader who had led the Lionheart Society liberate the people from oppression and humiliation was now sitting in a wheelchair.

Although the Ninth Gate's destructive power was astonishing, and Leon survived thanks to Losweiser's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, it didn't mean there weren't other costs involved.

The right leg that kicked the Primal Nightmare is now completely in a cast.

"It's been temporarily treated with healing magic. Now you need to rest for a while."

Rebecca squatted down beside the wheelchair, patted the cast on the captain's leg, and continued, "Tsk tsk tsk, after fighting so many wars, this is the first time I've seen you injured so badly. Can you give your first impressions, Captain?"

Leon gave her a speechless sidelong glance.

"Don't think that just because I'm in a wheelchair now, I can't deal with you."

Rebecca blinked her beautiful big eyes, stood up, and then quietly went around to the back of Leon's wheelchair, found a wooden stick, and used it to wedge the two wheels of the wheelchair in place.

Then he walked back to Leon, hands on his hips, a smug look on his face.

"Then come and chase me."

Leon tried to move the wheelchair, but the wheels were stuck firmly in the wooden stick and he couldn't move it at all.

"Hehehe~"

Rebecca made a face at him sticking out her tongue.

"Little girl, I advise you not to get too cocky. The pain won't disappear, it will only shift. Once I'm healed, guess who'll be next?"

Rebecca snorted and crossed her arms. "I don't care. Let's live for the moment. I finally get a chance to bully you, so I'm going to call Martin over!"

Leon:?

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

This is an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Gang!

While playing around, Losweiser, Claudia, and the others returned to the orphanage.

"Queen Elizabeth was not found, but henchmen like Scott were arrested."

Nacho said, "A detailed investigation will be conducted, and they will be convicted based on their actions over the years."

When Cantor was in power, he was the biggest protector of these corrupt royal family members.

Even upright officials with a sense of justice and responsibility dare not investigate them arbitrarily.

But now that Cantor is out of the picture, we can finally go all out to investigate these guys.

Leon nodded. "So they didn't reveal where Elizabeth went either?"

Elizabeth is Cantor's wife, and no three-year-old would believe that she did not participate in the empire's exploitation of the people.

So Leon originally intended to hand the couple over to the people of the empire for trial.

But now only Cantor remains; Elizabeth is nowhere to be found.

Nacho shook his head. "She didn't confess. It's like she just vanished into thin air."
