Chapter 94: Julia Klen
Leon's House – 4:00 AM
*Yaaawn*
Leon slowly blinked awake, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The room was still dark, and a cold breeze slipped in through the window, brushing against his skin.
He glanced to either side—Selene and Elaine, both completely naked, were curled up beside him, breathing softly in their sleep. A small smirk touched Leon's lips before he carefully slid off the mattress, put on his clothes, and quietly left the room.
*Swish*
A sharp gust of wind crept through a crack near the entrance, making the door creak ever so slightly.
"I've got enough money to rebuild this whole damn house..." Leon muttered as he stretched, "...but the moment I do, the new chief's gonna ask where the hell I got the money from and I don't have a proper buisness.
A big house draws too much attention... fucking annoying. I can either patch this dump up or build a place outside the village and I like the second option more."
With that thought, he grabbed a few candles and a matchbox, then stepped outside.
He started jogging slowly through the still-sleeping village.
'Hmm... adaptive body really is insane. Even when I'm not actively using it, my stamina holds up. I could run for hours like this. But if I try to go full speed... that's when I start to burn out. Maybe one day I'll be able to run at full tilt without even turning it on.' Leon thought with a neutral expression as he continued to run.
