Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 259: The Black Star

Chapter 259: The Black Star

He spent more than a day organizing things inside the shadow zone ordering his ghosts to do the maintenance. He planned to grow crops, have animal rearing, and a few other things.

Also, the mad scientists killed in Seph's laboratory were quite famous and were capable people.

Leon decided to give them the task of studying and replicating the leftover Serum he had.

He still carried that breakthrough pill. He had the urge to hand it over to researchers but knowing their expertise, he was afraid that they might destroy it.

And overseeing all these things was quite a hassle.

The truth was he couldn't bring himself to trust these crazy fanatics and lunatics dancing around without understanding the core of tasks so he took ample time to explain them.

When he walked out of the space, Leon's body became stiff seeing various gazes on him.

Inside the room, there were Gwen, Irina, Sophia, Feng Ruoxi, Lia, and Arthur.

"Are you alright now?"

The moment he appeared, Sophia voiced out her thoughts with a hint of nervousness and anxiety flashing in her eyes.

Leon smiled faintly and nodded, "I am as good as new."

Then he looked at Su Lin's anxious face.

"Miss Su about your father. I have kept that guy alive but the decision lies with you and him. I don't want to release a time bomb."

Leon's words drew everyone's attention to him.

Lia raised her brows and stared at Su Lin with a curious expression.

"Father....."Su Lin's body stiffened and a look of horror appeared on her face.

She was wantonly put in a difficult position, unable to decide. She wanted to ask for mercy but on the other hand, she was afraid of offending Leon and pushing him away.

Choosing between the two who almost have become an inseparable part of her life squeezed her heart.

"Miss Su, don't worry. It's not that I have any personal enmity with him. If you love your father, you can take him away but despite that, I am gonna beat the shit out of him. And take your time, that man is good and kicking in my space."

"Really...Thanks..."Su Lin shouted and bowed his head.

Seeing her, Feng Ruoxi, who suppressed a question in her heart, asked, "Is she the next girl in your hare..."

Before she could finish her speech, Sophia shut her lips with embarrassment.

"Ignore her...She used to speak nonsense."Sophia muttered on seeing Leon giving the woman a dead gaze.

Feng Ruoxi's words cause Gwen and Irina to hiccup and they stare at Su Lin who wriggled and steps back meeting those piercing gazes.

"Sophia. I am fit but I don't think I would be if she kept taunting me so.." Leon paused, plastering a smile that sent a shiver down Feng Ruoxi's spine.

"Don't worry, I will make sure she keeps her mouth shut.."Sophia laughed softly, staring at her sister; however her fierce glowing gaze was conveying something else.

Gwen peeked her head standing behind Irina and asked, "About Su Lin."

"We will discuss that later.."Leon took a break and then looked at his dead face Grandpa.

"What's going on? You all look quite serious?"

"Don't you think what you did is already too serious?"Arthur asked with a snort and then waved a white envelope.

"What's in that?"

"It's from the Federation. They have revoked the arrest warrant but you need to step into the assembly."Arthur muttered and flicked the envelope.

Like a bullet, the paper glided across the place and shot at Leon who caught it with his two fingers and read it.

"2 weeks from now in Aurorica...Huh?"

Leon's eyes shone and an eerie smile crept on his lips giving everyone a chill.

'It's time to return and fuck that Ye Chen and remaining assholes.'

"Stop smiling...It's terrific."

Leon's face contorted seeing the girls shivering.

"Cough.....Grandpa...Grandma."

"Yes, My dear..."Lia cast a smile.

"We have something important to talk about."

"We certainly do..."

Arthur nodded with a solemn expression.

.....

Despite their unwillingness, everyone was kicked out of the room leaving Leon, Arthur, and Lia sitting out in a stifling atmosphere.

Leon felt suffocated for some reason.

Without wasting an instant, Leon got straight to the point.

"What's going on? My memories are weird...Just what the hell have two cooked behind me?"

Arthur's expression changed into a deep frown.

"Don't you have shame asking this? What do you mean we cooked? It's you who cooked everything and left shitting everything on me? Do you know how many days I have suffered a heart attack from your menace?"

Ignoring the blabbering old man, he looked at Lia

"He is lying, isn't he?"

"Unfortunately....You gave the nurse a heart attack the moment you were born. Your gaze emitted a murderous intent as if you wanted to kill anyone."

Leon swallowed his saliva upon hearing this. After all, anyone would have a stroke seeing the baby coming out of the womb looking at you with a menacing gaze instead of crying.

"Let's come to the main point. Leon, about your question, you have the fate of a black star."

Leon tilted his head with a confused expression seeing which Lia started to explain.

"You know this world goes in cycles..."

Leon's expression faltered a bit.

Remembering Vesturon from Lia's words, he didn't forget to curse that scammer.

"Stop cursing and listen."

Leon felt deja vu spreading across his body and all hairs on his body stood erect.

"How did you know...."

"I know Vesturon already piled dirt in your head and we have already talked about this. We are just reminding you again as your memories have been sealed by me..."

Leon's lips trembled and he looked at his grandfather for explanation who just shook his head.

"Kid....Nothing goes out of her damned eyes...."

"Eyes"

At that time Leon felt something amiss and realized one thing"What the fuc...."

In the middle of his speech, Lia opened her eyes.

Beautiful multicolored amethyst eyes flashed before him...

"AH!"

Leon found the word distorting followed by a deep pain. The place he was a present blurred and he found himself in the infinite expanse of expanse and in that vast expanse two amethyst color eyes lit everything.

From the beginning to the end, he hadn't seen this woman open her eyes but now that she opened it, Leon felt as if she could kill with a single thought.

"LEON!"

A gleeful voice echoed, making the space tremble.

"You know...It's rude to disturb someone in the middle. So can you stop now?"

"Uhh...Yes..."Leon swallowed his saliva and decided to keep mum while looking at words above her head.

Name:Lia Woods

Age:??

Realm:??

The words shocked the hell out of him. It's like a newbie seeing an end-stage boss.

"Okay.....As I was saying...The world goes through a repeated cycle of creation and destruction but in that process, the beings at the top like Gods and their antithesis survive and dictate the world which goes against order as with the world they should also die...So, the world creates beings with black fate."

"The bearer of black fate had to be an alone survivor who had to through pain, betrayal, and countless endeavors to gain power rivaling them and finishing them to bring the end of world after which they would kill themselves."
