Chapter 174 - Clarification

"Heya Ezt, good to see you, again." Leon greeted as if he just met a long time friend, however, the man just stared back at him emotionlessly.

"Relax, I'm not here to make trouble, I just want to talk to your boss," Leon added leisurely. Eztli glance at the two lifeless bodies Leon was using as his cushion before shifting it back to Leon's lazy indifferent expression.

No one knew what inside Ezt mind neither Leon's. Alas, both of them neither moves an inch from their standpoint.

"Speak." Dragon's domineering voice was heard from behind Eztli. Seeing his best man being too hostile, Dragon knew that the man before him was in a different tier -- same as Ezt.

And even if a battle between Ezt and Leon would spark, Dragon was also uncertain if who would prevail in the end. Hence, if the man in front of him said he just wanted to discuss some matter to him, he'll lend his ear -- and if he is lying, Dragon will clip Leon himself.

"Wow, so this is what Dragon looks like." Leon complimented seeing Dragon's majestic figure. He continues,

"I'm just here to clear my Boss name. We have nothing to do with the stolen blueprints." Leon stated in a matter of factly tone.

[Seraphina's standpoint]

"Leon, get back." She commanded. Alas, Leon wasn't responding which gave her a slight headache. Since she already had a glimpse of the other party's organization, there is no reason for her to stay. After all, she can't or rather, she doesn't want to offend Dragon just yet. Granting that her men's capability was indeed superb, alas, Dragon had a vast power. Even if she wins a war between that man and her, it will be a miserable victory.

Seraphina can't take that risk. Especially now that she has someone she wanted to protect with her life. And dragging that certain man in an insane battle with the Triad -- she was uncertain if she could protect him.

"X, can you see Leon?" Seraphina inquired authoritatively.

"It seems it's really Dragon. God's eye is futile if the devil's eye is activated. I'm blinded, boss." X reported in dismay. Even though the god eye can see everything if he worked on it, alas, its kryptonite is the devil's eyes.

Meaning, god eye main purpose is to see and find no matter where the person is at, while on the other hand, the devil's eye sole purpose is to blind it. Hence, he can't do anything about it.

By the next second, Seraphina finally heard Leon's voice on the transceiver.

"I'm just here to clear my Boss' name. We have nothing to do with the stolen blueprints." Leon stated, he added.

"Also, to compensate you for the other piece in my Boss possession, I killed the people surrounding your hide and left one alive in great restraint. So, we're even now." Leon spoke in a trivial manner.

Hearing his statement, Seraphina's brows twitch 'this guy…' she thought inwardly. Although she had no plans to explain herself to Dragon, Leon initiated to clear her name albeit risky. Based on the infamous Don, in Seraphina's understanding, it will be very unlikely for him to conclude that it was her who stole the second piece.

Hearing a load rotor blades coming from her chopper, X packed a few valuable ch_i_p_s and devices before leaving the Van together with Seraphina. Riggs let down a rope ladder for them to hitch and leave the area. After the two successfully got on the helicopter, it ascends to the sky leaving the van to explode.

After Leon said his piece, another chopper piloted by Rex was seen above Leon's and Dragon's position.

"Ay, that's my ride." Leon looks up. Seeing a rope ladder descend in Leon's reach, he nonchalantly grabbed it before the helicopter starts to ascend again.

"One more thing, you have a rat," Leon shouted for Dragon to hear.

Dragon didn't utter a word seeing Leon retreating just like that -- allowing him to leave. Although he didn't blame Luciano for the stolen blueprint, whether Leon was lying or not -- there's really no reason to wage a war with Luciano for now. After all, he cannot take Luciano lightly.

Furthermore, the indirect meddling of Luciano in his transaction only proves that he is much powerful than he thought. Hence, it's good that they keep the neutral competition.

When the chopper couldn't be seen, Dragon altered his gaze on the unconscious body on the side. "Interrogate him," he commanded towards Ezt.

Leon's last words were put in great consideration. Since his organization contains a great number, the last incident was indeed suspicious -- even the other member of Luciano's group noticed it. Thus, even if Leon didn't say it, he'll have a thorough investigation.
