Chapter 276: C268
Leon drove a McLaren sports car along the coastal road at night.
Dim streetlights flickered as they passed, and the rhythmic crashing of waves filled the air.
From time to time, the distant calls of seabirds broke the silence.
Occasionally, an oncoming car appeared, but the road remained mostly quiet and peaceful.
After driving for a long time, Leon's eyes flickered with thought. He turned the wheel toward a scenic overlook along the coastline, pulling into the parking area and stopping the car.
A few tents were set up in the corner of the observation deck, their occupants sleeping soundly. The gentle sound of breathing blended with the ocean's rhythm.
Leon stepped out of the car, pocketing the key as he walked down the steps leading from the observation deck. Below, a vast beach stretched out, empty and serene.
Though the night was dark, the moonlight filtering through the clouds illuminated the surroundings just enough. Once his eyes adjusted, Leon could make out the shimmering sea and the play of light and shadow on its surface.
On the beach, a white-haired, one-eyed old man stood silently. Dressed in finely tailored white robes, he gazed at the horizon, his back to Leon.
Leon smirked and approached, stopping beside the old man.
"This way?" Leon asked, his tone carrying a hint of confusion.
