Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

32  32:Are You A Cougar?

"Favor.....Huh?"

"Tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."Sophia licked her plump cherry lips.

Instead of answering immediately, Leon smiled faintly, closing his eyes.

[1 year of your life span has been deducted.]

'Holy shit!'

'What a crazy day! I can't believe I rushed there to commit suicide. If it turns out that I didn't have the power to avert death then I would be fucked up.'

'Not that dying matters to me anyway.'

And for some reason, he wanted to die and see Vesturon's reactions who must have surely paid to throw him here only to find him coming back after doing nothing and freeloading.

Vesturon might vomit blood for real if he heard the and cursed himself for choosing such a psycho.

It wasn't a wasted effort as Leon managed to hurt Seph and also found out about his secret guard strength as well as his next protector.

Leon shrugged his shoulders startling Sophia who noticed a slight fluctuation of spiritual qi in Leon, bringing a subtle change but Sophia wasn't able to point out that change.

"Can you arrange some things for me? You can deduct the cost from the money I send back."Leon spoke looking at Sophia's eyes that seemed to be scanning him.

"That's not a favor, Leon."

"You giving me some time is already a favor."

"Sweet talker, "Sophia laughed softly.

"First do you know any disguise techniques or concealment?"

"Disguising techniques are hard to find and are generally restricted by the sects and organizations. I can find some but they can just change facial appearance, not the whole body.

As for concealment, I have some."Sophia informed Leon who picked up the word sect and ignored the rest.

'Sect...I expected that but this guy didn't know much. He knew about the Esper Alliance that handles cultivators in Aurorica as his mother was one of the top members in it.'

Unlike Elysium, Aurorica developed on the concept of Mana. They developed special abilities of attributes trying to incorporate magic.

The Magic incantation that they came up with might sound fancy but in the end, it was just cultivation techniques. After years, they have integrated the concept of Qi but the term Esper is still used in place of cultivators till now.

"Secondly, I need some pills that heal energy and replenish qi."

"Huh!"

Confusion etched on Sophia's face.

"Pill...You mean alchemy pills."

"Is there a problem?"Leon asked, seeing Sophia reacting as if he had asked something absurd.

"It seems, you aren't aware of this. We have potions, not pills."

Question marks hovered above Leon's head.

'Is this a cultivation world or a Magic world.'

"From your words, I presume you know about the pills right so are they rare?"Leon asked curiously.

Sophia nodded and started explaining while leaning a bit forward making Leon notice faint gaps leading to her cleavage.

"Pills required great mastery and control to create. The pills generally had great efficiency and less wastage of material while a potion is a simple concoction of it. Pills are rare to find as not many people can craft them so people opt to follow potion-making."

Sophia folded her knees exposing her white thick thighs while her voluptuous assets jiggled a bit. Her movements were graceful yet seductive. She tempts a man to reach out for her but if you do that like a lustful swine, you might lose something precious. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Leon's face distorted all of a sudden.

"It's disgusting."

Sophia's sly smile cracked upon hearing Leon's hoarse voice.

"Can you stop testing me like that? Though I am not lusting over your body and impatient to sleep with you, in the end, I am a man."

Leon got up giving Sophia a dead soulless gaze giving her a chill down her spine.

"If you want something just say instead of testing or showing off your assets like that as if you are from a brothel.''

"It's you, not anyone else who is sending the wrong signal by playing with hearts and if the man pounces on you, it will be you who plays the victim role and accuses the other side as  scum or lustful bastards."

Leon's voice became aggrieved and colder, the more he spoke.

Last time he left in a hurry but the more he spent time with her today, the more boldly she behaved.

And heroines are the same girls who act like this and then accuse others on being stared at.

"If you don't have the guts to resist other piercing eyes then just cover yourself instead of showcasing your assets. And I am saying this because I know the high-standard mentality of girls like you who flirt with men but when a man strikes back, they hit them saying they are pervert."

Leon turned back and walked back to leave.

It was one thing if she posed sexily to test him once but it annoys him when someone keeps undermining him and trying to do that again and again and then say

'Oh! That guy had no lust in his eyes. His eyes were crystal clear.'

'Che! These heroines have two faces.'

There was a limit to self-control if the other side kept showing around or should he just cut his dick and become an eunuch to earn a heroine's favor.

"Wait!"Sophia also got up and screamed but seeing Leon not stopping or sparring her a glance, she disappeared and appeared right before the door with a breathtaking speed.

Leon halted, raising his brows.

"Wrong…You are wrong…"Sophia murmured with a faint whisper.

"What?"

"I said you are thinking wrong. I don't behave like that. I may have my urges but I am not a bitch in heat who goes around showing off my things."Sophia shouted, gnashing her teeth.

'Damn! I shouldn't have listened to that bitch. I asked her how to attract a man and in my first attempt, I was slapped in my face. I will kill her.'

Sophia knew it was a mistake to dress boldly but this was the first time she had done this. She had no experience at all and when she asked her friend, she got the advice to dress bold, sexy, and expose a bit of her assets.

Leon could even hear her grinding teeth from a few steps away.

'Did I hurt her ego? Is she going to kill me for something simple ?'

While Leon's mind started running crazily, Sophia took a step forward with a darkened expression making him flinch.

"I only did this for you. Out of everyone else, I found you oddly captivating and charming enough. More than that, I feel nice when I am with you."

"So, I just wanted a compliment. I thought boys like you like this as advised by my friend but it seems I am wrong."Sophia's cold expression faltered.

If her subordinates saw this, they would scream.

'Who is she?'

'Where is our boss?'

Leon smiled upon hearing the sudden confession and attacked immediately, taking Sophia by surprise.

Wrapping one of his arms around Sophia and pushing him to the wall, he leaned forward to take a kiss.

Sophia's whole body froze like a statue. There was no struggle nor meekness rather she anticipated what was about to come but…

Leon instead of kissing her on her lips, kissed her cheek softly.

Sophia's eyes at Leon as if asking what was that.

"Now is not the time. I am sure you are still stifled about this and just said that to me at the moment of impulse."

"I don't want to have any superficial relationship or just a sex friend. It would be better if we strive for one another wholeheartedly. I might have a few more later but it won't exceed 10. I can't promise to bring stars and moon to you but you will certainly find me beside yours in every situation whether it's a time of woes or joy."

Truth was, Leon managed to control his impulse at the last moment.

There was still a barrier in his heart.

He knew she had yet to contact a protagonist and a villain so who knows if she developed special feelings for them.

Even if his halo averts others' halo, but the villain's handsomeness wasn't one can ignore. One may even question their sexuality after seeing them.

So, Leon wanted to wait for those meetings.

If she develops special feelings for them, he wouldn't give a shit about her but if she manages to pass through the hurdle…..

Sophia's expression faltered as it took a moment for her to understand what Leon meant.

"Hahaha!"Sophia burst into laughter and held Leon's head.

"I thought you would just lunge at me but it seems you are a gentleman. And how can you be frank about taking other girls in front of someone in the confessing stages."

"I am not a gentleman and it's better to come out with the truth. I don't like to play hide and seek with the ones who trusted me but me having more wives isn't entirely sure. I am just saying so that you can prepare yourself mentally if you want to go with me."Leon answered straightly.

He is faithful to his wishes wholeheartedly.

Sophia didn't know what to say. It took a great deal of courage for her to say all that but this guy just ruined everything.

However, his frankness straightforward was what made her fall for him. Moreover, she wasn't much averse to this as the men in upper society had many women to ensure producing a good heir but she would surely be angry if he hid and lie behind her back.

"By the way, I have a question."Leon's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Yes?"Sophia spoke with a playful smile.

"By chance are you still single because you are a cougar who is into younger boys but couldn't find anyone."

A brief silence prevailed which was broken by Sophia hitting Leon who feeling a deadly crisis ray away from his wi…sorry he meant run for his life.
