Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 17: 17

Chapter 17: 17

Within the hour, the result of the match was before everyone.

The defeated fighters lay motionless on the ground leaving a person standing holding the broken detached jaw of a person bathing in blood, while the crowd's shock turned into a collective gasp of horror.

The realization of the brutality they had just witnessed sank in, and a silence enveloped the arena.

Whispers of disbelief floated through the air, as the spectators struggled to come to terms with the savage display of violence. The gravity of the situation began to hit the crowd, and a somber mood descended upon them.

Though astonished, what hit them hard wasn't the man dominating the ring creating a nightmare but rather the realization of the loss they were gonna suffer after betting against the guy in a spur moment of anger.

Hector stood there with his jaw wide open wondering what the fuck did he saw?

Was this the same good-for-nothing chasing skirt young master of his?

It was already hard for him to come to terms with Leon's sudden change in demeanor but he still underestimated the change.

Meanwhile, Helena almost passed out seeing this as it was the first time she had seen such brutality. If not for the high salary, she would have run away from this group of psychos.

"Fuck it! I have lost a ton."

"Fuck! My new year will be a Bad year now."

"Oh my god, I bet all the money I had. After seeing the man surrounded, I thought he would lose but this....."

Unable to accept the harsh reality, some from the crowd shouted, drawing everyone's attention.

"Scam! This is a fucking scam."

When those words were spoken first, everyone else followed suit.

"I am sure that this was a ploy to loot us using psychological tactics. First, that man acted in a way that drew our hate, and with all the sluts fanning him up and hurting our ego, we were led to bet against him."

"Yes, this is it."

As the voice became louder and the situation got out of control, a strong force descended upon everyone shutting them up.

"I heard that customers have some complaints."

A seductive bewitching voice resonated in the entire place.

"As the owner, I must note your complaints and rectify but...."

Everyone sucked in the cold air as even an ignorant knew whose voice this was from everyone's expression.

"If anyone tries to create trouble in my place, no matter who this is, I am gonna make sure you pay the debt with blood."

The voice stopped, following which guards dressed in nice suits jumped out taking care of the troublesome one.

Leon, ignoring everything, looked at the jawless man and then at the jaw held in his hands.

"Those in the magic world use potions to fix anything that was cut so knowing how ridiculous cultivation is, I am sure they can even fix heads that had been cut."

This isn't a joke. He had read novels where Mc regenerated his whole body.

"Hey, buddy I hope this can be fixed. I am willing to pay the bill."

The unconscious man on hearing Leon's words started convulsing subconsciously. Leon kept the jaw near the man and looked around with hopeful eyes.

"I hope I have made some bucks that might last a year."

Two well-dressed muscular men came to Leon and asked him to follow them to the upper quarters.

Leon nodded and followed their suit to the luxurious VIP room.

........

Several men stood in line guarding the room to which Leon was asked to enter.

"Ummm! Sir, will it be okay for me to go in like this?"

The man being called Sir was taken aback and his cold expression faltered.

"It's okay, Madam, don't mind these things."

Leon nodded and entered the warm cozy room with a red interior.

On a bench with a wine glass in her hand, sat a milf, with a perfect hourglass-fit body. Leon couldn't help but raise his brows looking at her enchanting curvaceous body with that milky breast that was perfectly matching her figure.

Sophia noticed Leon's gaze, licked her seductive plum lips, and smiled.

Name:Sophia Rosario

Age:31

Realm:Middle Martial King

"Did you like what you see? Do I look beautiful?

"If so, which part do you like?"

Leon coughed and made his way to the seat before her.

"Lady, you are beautiful but I wasn't admiring your booty body, rather I was a bit drawn back by the mole near your eyes."

"I may have a mole fetish," Leon answered indifferently and picked up the wine bottle to fill the empty cup.

Leon, remembering a distant memory, took the half-filled wine glass before him and chugged it down.

He was neither a novice nor a virgin.

On his path, he had come across girls whom he had saved and they wanted to stay with him but he didn't want them to suffer by staying with a crazy murderer.

Sophia's eyes shone with a bit of astonishment, and a bit of curiosity as she saw a hidden pain in his eyes.

"You have the guts to say that. So tell me, did you fall in love with me at first sight and want to make me yours?"Sophia asked, trying to pry this man's desire.

"I didn't before but going through some things I wonder if anyone can fall in love with me. As for me falling in love, I haven't. However, I have to accept that you are gorgeous," Leon slouched down on the sofa and thought for a moment.

"And seeing you being still alone, I am sure you are waiting for someone who can match your vibes and understand you. As per talented people, you have known and seen many but you are still single."Leon paused a bit observing Sophia's expression.

Behind the smile, he could see her deep curiosity in him.

"For being Someone called Queen, I am damned sure you know who I am by now and what had happened to me. I just thought that you were beautiful enough for me to tend my broken heart but I meant no offense. I know it is annoying to go around getting gazes of lust."

"I have met many nove de riche who always stare at me with that vicious naked desire but none have dared to speak to me like this. Aren't you afraid of death?"Sophia asked, taking a sip of her wine.

"Hahahahaha!"

'That's probably because you haven't met the protagonist till now.'

Sophia glanced at Leon's lifeless eyes. Despite his laughing expression, his dull eyes seemed to be devoid of any emotions.

"Death.....Woman...."Leon looked straight into Sophia's eyes making her feel as if she was looking into the abyss.

"Believe me, I have suffered something worse than death."

"Death is the last thing that scares me. Instead of an enemy, it's a friend that I find solace with and want to be embraced by it alas fate seemed to be adamant about fucking with me."

Leon spoke coldly as his only wish to have loveable parents was destroyed into pieces.
