Chapter 891: A mistake, you say?
"But now, I can read you like an open book and its content is quite... disappointing. You got too close, Mr. Wu."
Leo’s breath hitched at Dragon’s remarks. His entire body froze, eyes unblinking with his gaze on that demon. Because of his mixed emotions, he forgot to keep his act together. Dragon had keen eyes, and it was the very reason Leo had been given his best act so as not to get caught.
But in the end, he slipped up.
Dragon had no reason to lie to him. Leo probably made it so obvious. Having this realization in mind, Leo surprisingly felt calm. His tensed shoulders relaxed as a small yet genuine smile turned up on his face.
"You got me," Leo humored, chuckling. "You’re right, Dragon. I got too close."
Leo leaned back comfortably as he gazed at the plate across from him. "You seemed pretty calm, knowing someone else is harboring feelings for her."
"Hera is amazing in anything she does and in every way." Dragon shrugged. "Back then, countless men competed for her attention."
"And you’re one of them?" Leo cast him a quick look, and much to his surprise, Dragon nodded.
"I was one of them," Dragon admitted. "I can’t blame you for catching those feelings, regardless of the consequences. She’s like that, after all. Even if I was in your shoes, I would probably feel the same. She’s like a poison; a bad, rotten apple inside. Even if you know you shouldn’t desire it and even if there were countless warnings given, you just can’t help but take a bite. Hence, I can’t blame you."
"How understanding," Leo humored with a tinge of amusement. "So, are you going to kill me tonight?"
"No."
