Chapter 125
Morning arrived, and Leo was sitting at a table filled with diverse delicacies, with the Elixir in the middle of it. Kabuka, the old black man with short curly hair and gold-rimmed glasses, sat across from him.
“You look tired, Le-Yeyo. Have you been up all night?” Kabuka asked.
“Yes,” Leo answered.
“I would imagine it was hard to sleep. Okay, is your resolution to sacrifice your life for me unchanged?”
“Yes.”
Kabuka stared at Leo with a smile, concealing his desire for an extended life from him with all his might.
He remarked, “If you don’t want this, now is the time to change your mind. The Elixir won’t take effect if your feelings aren’t genuine.”
“No, I genuinely want this. You are my people’s benefactor. My life is but a pittance in comparison,” Leo replied, his expression frozen.
He believed lying was more humiliating than death, but he laid down all of his pride just for today. His desire for revenge was much bigger than his meager pride.
