Chapter 528: Chapter 463: Dog
Ah, this...
Watching the female reporter who pulled herself out from the dog’s mouth and boldly claid she was willing to be eaten in Leon’s place, Leon felt genuinely moved after being stunned for a mont.
Although he already knew from soul vision that the reporter’s moral standards were not low, her willingness to sacrifice herself was still beyond Leon’s expectations.
"Why would you want to replace ?"
Looking at the reporter desperately pulling him, Leon said with a bit of a toothache:
"We’re not on the sa side, right? You’re soone our director brought back, and if it wasn’t for my interrogation, you might not have triggered the backup plan of the Aquarius Director and been thrown directly into the Realm of the Dead... Anyway, why would you die in my place? Just because you feel indebted to ?"
"I... maybe..."
After her impulsive declaration, the reporter seed hesitant, but thinking of the "unimaginable pain" Leon suffered due to her indulgence towards the Aquarius Director, her resolve fird up again.
"Angsi sir!"
Under the bewildered gaze of the Three-Headed Canine Deity, the reporter spoke up again:
"You previously said I could go back, but now I’m not leaving. You send him back!"
"..."
No... with such righteous conviction, what does that make ?
Watching the reporter repeatedly offering to "die generously," Leon found himself unable to cope.
It’s certainly good to survive, but if the cost is "tricking" soone else to die for you, then you won’t live peacefully for the rest of your life. Thinking about today’s event, you’ll have to slap yourself.
...
Consider
unlucky...
Watching the reporter desperately holding him, Leon sighed inwardly.
If only she did more bad things, then even if I tricked her into dying in my place, I wouldn’t feel any guilt.
However, the unlucky part is that she’s simply not a bad person. Except for concealing Watcher’s Palace matters due to gratitude towards the Aquarius Director, she hasn’t done anything seriously wrong. If I just bluff my way through, I’d feel guilty for life.
Geez... upon reflection, karma really cos around quickly.
I was desperately trying to provoke her guilt to probe information about the Aquarius Director, and now, just like that, the tables have turned and I am consud by my guilt.
"Forget it, you don’t need to replace ."
Failing to pry off the reporter’s fingers, Leon only offered an embarrassed explanation, unable to get past this ntal hurdle:
"Although I have a vendetta against the Aquarius Director, I’m not really a victim nor have I suffered. All that was a lie to you."
A lie to ?!
Hearing Leon’s words, the reporter widened her eyes and slightly relaxed her grip on Leon’s arm.
But thinking of Leon’s eyes filled with pain, her expression steadfastly renewed as she grasped Leon’s arm tightly and shook her head stubbornly:
"I don’t believe it! Over the years, I’ve seen many people struggling in pain, and their eyes look just like yours. None of them are more tortured than you. This is sothing you can’t fake!"
"..."
Ah, this... sorry, but I really was faking it...
Seeing that his explanation failed, Leon switched to a more forceful approach and shouted directly:
"Let go of !"
"I won’t let go!"
"It’s my problem! I don’t need you to care!"
"Willing to replace you is my choice too!"
"..."
Damn, this dialogue is really stupid...
Realizing the situation was turning into a foolish lodrama, Leon decisively turned to the Three-Headed Canine Deity to end the nonsense once and for all.
"Hurry up! Which one will you eat?"
