Chapter 119: Revenge
As Leon stepped out of the building where he'd just said goodbye to Angelica, a satisfied—almost smug—smile lit up his face. He didn't even try to hide it. On the contrary, he let himself bask in the moment. His mood was unusually cheerful.
"I see you're pleased, Master," came a familiar voice from behind.
Leon didn't turn around. He recognized the voice instantly—it was Luxion, his loyal, though often far too cheeky, assistant.
"Of course I'm pleased," he replied, not bothering to look back. "Isn't it obvious?"
Luxion fell silent for a moment. It felt like he was thinking, though knowing him, he was probably just crafting a sarcastic comeback.
"Ah, I wonder what your many male fans will think when they find out you do actually prefer women?" he said, his voice laced with clear mockery.
Leon stopped abruptly. The smile vanished from his face.
"By the way, Luxion..." he said slowly, still not turning around. "Thanks for the reminder. You do remember, don't you, what I said would happen if you kept mocking me?"
Luxion, hovering nearby, feigned surprise. His mechanical voice took on an exaggeratedly thoughtful tone.
"Did you really say that? Hmm... let me dig through my memory archives..."
A few seconds passed.
