Chapter 340 The God And The Wolf [3]



Chapter 340 The God And The Wolf [3]

It was a scene that looked as if it was taken right out of some kind of a movie.

Lucas even compared it to a scene in one of the web novels he had read in his past life where two protagonists met each other.

Yeah, that description would fit best for what was happening right now. Two old protagonists finally coming face to face with one another after a very long time.

They have had their differences in the past and maybe they do even now after all these years. However, they had a long and hard journey and now they are changed men.

The underdog is now one of the strongest men alive while the previous strongest one of the two is now a wise guardian of the mysteries.

The air was palpable and tension was intense as the Wolf came face to face with the God.

Everyone present there to witness this spectacle couldn’t hold their anticipation. Their mouths hung agape and their eyes widened.

None of them dared to blink for even a second, afraid to miss something important that could very well go down in history.

“Leo Kurogami,” Reynold uttered, standing tall before arguably one of the strongest men to ever live. “I could never have imagined I would see you back here in the Western Continent ever again.”

Leo looked back at Reynold with distant eyes before casting an indifferent gaze at Yennefer, who stood right behind her husband.

Meanwhile, following behind Yennefer inside the gates of the mansion were several platoons of heavily armed and armored soldiers.

Both Yennefer and Reynold were also clad in combat attire, suggesting they had been on a military mission inside their territory.

The mission must’ve been something big since it required the presence of not one but two general ranked soldiers.

Yes, that’s right, Yennefer Morningstar also held the rank of General. It was part of the reason why Morningstars were given full freedom to deploy their troops as they see fit.

Noticing this, he shifted his focus back to Reynold and spoke in an even tone, “And I could never have imagined the security of the mansion to be so lax. I easily got past your mansion gates. Did things fall so low after I left?”

Reynold’s lips curled up into a grin as he said with a scoff, “Don’t make me laugh. I could present you with the best security defense system in the world, and you’d break past it like it’s nothing.”

“Yeah, and…” Leo was about to speak before a deep frown etched onto his face. “Wait, are you insulting me or applauding me?”

The grin on Reynold’s face widened, but it soon faded into a somber look. “So, may I ask why you’re here, terrorizing my guards, instead of acting like a proper guest?”

Reynold emphasized the word “guest” to assert Leo’s status and remind everyone who was actually in charge here. It was a power move.

Leo half-closed his eyes, showing complete disinterest in power politics like always, as he replied:

“I was here to fetch my dear disciple. But when I arrived, I saw that your guards were pointing their blades at him. They’re lucky that I didn’t cut off their hands for that blasphemy.”

Reynold furrowed his brow in confusion and cast a questioning gaze at his guards. He then looked at Lucas and everyone around him.

Yelena was on her knees, her head dropped and her eyes reddened as if she had just stopped crying, blood stains visible on her tunic, and several wounds were present on her body.

Adel lay spreadeagled face-flat on the ground, occasionally groaning and grunting in pain as he struggled to pull himself up. He had clearly broken a few bones.

Lucas himself stood topless a few steps behind his master, flexing his mesmerizing lean body, but not a single wound marred his flawless skin.

Standing beside him was an alluring black-haired girl who watched everything with great interest, holding a… packet of popcorn in her hand.

All of this, combined with the current condition in which the mansion walls were in and the ruined surroundings, made it clear that the three siblings had just been in a brutal brawl.

Since they were all mana users, this brawl must have involved artillery spells and, from the looks of it, area-of-effect spells, relics, and martial arts.

It was truly a miracle that the entire mansion hadn’t collapsed- THWAAAAM-!!

Just as Reynold was lost in the midst of his thoughts, the front wall of the mansion, which was already littered with cracks and fissures, came crumbling down.

…Okay, still, at least the rest of the mansion was still intact.

“…..” Reynold waited a few minutes until nothing happened this time after he raised a flag, and let out a sigh of relief.

He then turned to Leo and said, “You can see why they needed to intervene, right? The children were fighting. Lucas won, and they thought he would harm them.”

“Fighting?” Leo scoffed. “I would call this playing, at best.”

Reynold looked at the imposing figure before him with a deadpan expression and shook his head. Yennefer tried to suppress a smile from appearing on her face.

The last time a fight had broken out here, this lavish mansion ended up in complete ruins.

Obviously, it was Reynold and Leo who had fought. When Yelena confronted them, Leo had replied, “We were just playing.”

Truly, this guy had not changed at all.

Reynold let out another somber sigh, reminiscing about the old times… the simple times, and said in a calmest possible tone, “Look, I will discipline my guards. You can drop the matter here.”

They locked eyes for a few long minutes in complete silence before Leo nodded. “The next time, if there ever will be a next time, I will kill them all myself.”

Normally, even for a high-ranking soldier, it would be a crime to take lives. And it would be considered treason to even discuss such matters, let alone issue a warning to the head of a ruling family like Leo just did.

But who would punish him for such a petty crime? The government would have to deploy a large portion of the military and arm the troops with all kinds of high-end weapons and relics if they wished to eliminate Leo.

And even then, so many lives would be wasted, since Leo was bound to resist. It was a very real possibility that he would wipe out the army sent to bring him in.

The government would then have to dispatch another army. In short, it would be a monumental task to eliminate someone like him. 𝑜𝒱𝑙𝒩xt.𝐂𝓞𝗆

And that’s why the government had willingly offered immunity to some of their strongest soldiers.

Reynold let out a sigh and nodded. “You can do whatever you want.

Who can stop you?”

Leo gritted his teeth. This exact quote was something he had once said to Reynold when he was still chasing after him, trying to surpass him.

Now, when he had finally surpassed him… when he had finally grown much, much stronger than him, the feeling of conquest did not taste as sweet as he had once thought it would.

He walked past Reynold and Yennefer, heading toward the gates, and yelled, “Lucas, stop munching on popcorn and follow me!”

Lucas, who had grabbed a handful of popcorn from Amelia’s bag, was startled as he quickly followed behind his master, leaving the Den Of The Wolves behind.
