After leaving the others, Alex asked where Saeko was, and the others said she went out to train. Going to his room, Alex took out a communication stone and injected mana into it; the stone glowed and was connected to the other side.
Imdiately a holographic image appeared above the stone, and Leon's face could be seen. He seed to be training as he held a bastard sword and swung it.
''Long ti no see Leon.''
''It's good to see you, my friend. What coincidence. I was thinking about contacting you once I'm done with my training, but how would you contact first.'' Leon said while putting away his sword. After wiping away his sweat, he sat on the ground in a lotus position.
''How are the others?" Leon asked.
''They are doing fine, and what about you guys?"
''We are fine as well. Everybody here is fine. We were together yesterday night for a eting. Let's not talk about that first; I heard you got a new fiancee? I'm envious, man, your luck with won is too strong.''
Hearing Leon's words and seeing the grin on the corner of his lips, Alex understood that he was teasing him, and he chuckled.
''What can I say? When you have a face like mine and an aweso family na, you will attract a bunch of pretty won. Sotis even I'm afraid of my charm. It's so scary that I dare not look at myself in the mirror for fear of falling for myself.''
Leon, who had started the topic to tease his friend as it had been a long ti since they last communicated like this, was overwheld by the latter shalessness; he was so surprised that his jaw was almost hitting the floor.
''There is a limit to being narcissistic, you know?" Leon mumbled.
''Hahaha! You don't have to tell .''
''I forgot how shaless you could be. The little Eastern princess must be a beauty? I wonder how she looks?"
''Don't worry, you will know in the future. I asked her to follow us, and she accepted. I need a valuable subordinate, and she will do fine. It was not what her father wanted, but it is not like I care about sothing like that. I don't need another woman right now. As for what kind of relationship we will have in the future, only ti will tell us.''
''I see. This is more like you, my friend. Even my father suggested that we find you a woman, but I vehently refused this suggestion. While I understand their intention, everyone is trying to be connected to you, using a woman to achieve this doesn't sit well with . Building a relationship based on trust and friendship is more durable than this.
Well, that's my opinion.'' Leon said while drinking a cup of water.
''You are right, but they are not wrong either. Each of you uses different thods to achieve your goals, that's all. What is your current level?" Alex asked at the end of his sentence; he was trying to change the subject.
''I'm currently Level 138, and it's becoming harder and harder to level up, so it becos frustrating.''
Looking at his friend lanting, Alex could understand how he felt because he was having the sa problem; it was not a secret that the higher your level, the harder it beca to level up.
''How about the other two?" Alex asked; naturally, he was talking about Eris and Kuina.
''Both are level 137. We are all trying to catch up to you, my friend, but it is not easy. You are a real monster, you started later than us, but now you're stronger; I wonder how Leonardo felt seeing your progress?''
Alex chuckled, not saying anything. Leon continued.
''Did you contact him recently? Did he tell you where the headquarters of the Chaos organization is?"
''No, I haven't contacted him in a while. I don't do it often; I told him only to contact when he got so useful information. You know the enemy is not a fool; they knew sothing was wrong; maybe they are aware of my plan but still let Leonardo infiltrate them.
This would an they needed him for sothing; until the reason they needed him happened, he must find out their location before escaping. It's a risky mission; however, the benefits are trendous. I promised him to help him achieve perfect harmony with his Gift; you must know that he hadn't gained his Gift's spirit approval, aning he couldn't use it to its full potential.
After slicing off one of his arms, I sealed his Gift, and he had a deal.'' Alex explained with a bright smile.
Leon shivered, seeing Alex talking about how he blackmailed soone with such a bright smile. No wonder Leonardo accepted such a risky mission; he was forced to take on such a dangerous mission. His friend was a devil.
''I fought one of the leaders of the Chaos organization, Lord Thanos.'' Suddenly Alex said this, and Leon almost fell from his chair.
''Say what?"
''I said I fought against the one leader of the Chaos organization. It happened not long ago; it was because I was trying to rescue Incursio.'' Alex explained, but Leon had trouble following.
Massaging his throbbing temple, he stopped Alex.
''Alex, can you stop for a mont and properly explain what happened?"
Alex chuckled and told Leon all the story. Leon listened to everything, shocked.
''Wasn't Incursio a mber of the organization? If so, why was she running away?" Leon asked about the point he couldn't understand; he was not the only one.
''I wanted to know too, but we can only get the answer once she wakes up.''
''Let's hope she quickly does. We must not miss out on this opportunity. The enemy is ridiculously strong; from what you said, not even my father could win. We must prepare for the worst.''
''I concur. Gracier suggested visiting other empires as a vacation while at the sa ti using this opportunity to increase our strength quickly. What do you think?" Finally, Alex talked about Gracier's plan.
Leon's eyes widened; he hadn't thought soone would have the sa idea as him.
''What a coincidence, it is exactly what we talked about last night during our eting,'' Leon responded, and it was Alex's turn to be surprised.
The two burst into laughter before talking about the details of this plan. It had been decided that the group would visit the Lionheart Empire after leaving the Far East Empire.
