"Got it." Betty nodded.

Leon flew upward, and when all the soldiers saw him, they stopped attacking the island to attack him. That being said, the speed of their projectiles could ever match Leon"s speed. While moving up and down to dodge the attacks, Leon approached the nearest chopper and destroyed its blades with an earth arrow quite easy.

"It looks like in order to the chopper move faster, the builders sacrificed the durability."

The chopper started to fall, and then all the pa.s.sengers jumped from the vehicle, Leon approached them and shot Earth Bullets in their stomach, some resisted the pain while others lost consciousness. However, both groups wouldn"t be able to fight for a while.

Leon repeated that action a few more times, and in no time, half of the choppers had fallen. Then suddenly, Leon saw some familiar skills. Several earth lances flew toward him at a fearsome speed. Leon dodged them by a hair"s breadth, but then he felt his skin burning when several energy beams and lightning in the shape of a whip almost hit his back.

"Tch… that hurts! d.a.m.n it!"

Leon looked at the chopper those attacks came from, and he became a bit surprised when he saw Tom, Arthur, and the guys he fought alongside in the skeletons" dungeon. They weren"t holding back, and by the look of Tom"s eyes, he would do the same if he had the chance. However, he knew that his Boomerang Hammer wasn"t fast enough.

"Dumba.s.ses… can"t you guys use your head a little? The only thing you guys can do is to follow orders?"

That being said, Leon was aware that believing in their bosses was the obvious option instead of believing in a stranger that appeared a few months ago. Deciding to ignore them for the time being, Leon chose another chopper to knockdown.

Imagining that he was acting too fast, Leon checked the beach only to find Betty easily knocking down those who managed to stay conscious. The number of soldiers in the sea was small because she was fast and could even teleport to some extent. Leon lost his hesitation and, in no time, knocked down the remaining chopper with the sole exception of the one which Tom was. He would use that one to return.

Unfortunately, the pilot of that vehicle had other plans. Seeing that those soldiers had no chance, he decided to flee, but Leon didn"t let him. He sent a wave of sand to that chopper, and then he imprisoned the pilot. Leon saw Betty piloting, so he knew how to control the pilot and make him land the helicopter on the island.

"You traitor!" Tom shouted.

Leon approached the chopper to control it with more ease, and then Tom jumped toward him with his hammer. Leon dodged the attack and also imprisoned Tom using earth, they moved a little bit from the island, so he couldn"t let him fall since the megalodons could appear at any moment. Noticing what Leon just saved Tom"s life, Arthur and Tom"s subordinates stopped their attacks.

"So, you guys are finally using your head a little…" Leon frowned. "Let"s talk on the beach."

They had no chance of escaping or winning the battle, so they could only obey Leon"s terms. They had no other choice but to obey the man who defeated almost one hundred rank A soldiers.

When they landed on the beach, Leon saw Betty had grabbed all the soldiers" weapons and cellphones. The soldiers who were in Tom"s chopper threw their weapons on the ground, but Leon frowned when he saw that.

"You don"t have to do that." Leon declared. "You guys can keep your weapons and attack me again, but this time I won"t hold back."

"Leon! Don"t threaten them." Betty said.

"I"m not threatening anyone, I"m warning them," Leon said. "Like you said, I cannot kill indiscriminately since they were just following orders. However, I have no reason to forgive the fools who may try to screw with me two times."

In the end, Betty could only shut up. They didn���t live in a world where things like that could be forgiven. Most leaders didn"t give a second chance to their underlings, Leon wasn"t a leader, but he showed more mercy than the majority.

"Well, then… Let"s talk." Leon said. "I already know what William and the other two said two you guys, I"m a traitor who is working for the j.a.panese and blah, blah, blah. The truth is, I"m just doing a favor for Makoto to alleviate his anger."

"… Who is Makoto?" Tom asked.

"The emperor of j.a.pan," Leon answered. "Thanks to him, I managed to return to my homeland. So, to repay the favor, I will bring back to him those who were involved in the death of his son."

"You are just a dog of the j.a.panese!" Jess shouted.

"Ah, you are here, Jess. Sorry, I didn"t notice you." Leon smiled.

"Kuh!" Jess clenched her teeth and fists.

Leon looked around and also saw Paul in the middle of the unconscious guys. That surprised him; he thought only rank A soldiers partic.i.p.ated in that mission… it looked like William, Sanchez, and Alisson were short-handed. Or perhaps they were plotting something else…

"Anyway, I spared your lives, so you guys have two options," Leon said. "Die or stay out of my way. You don"t have to decide as a group. Those who want to die will die, and those who want to stay out of my way can do anything that doesn"t bother me."

"Why should we trust you?" Jess asked. "You just killed the members of your new team aside from her."

"Man, you are noisy…" Leon sighed. "They are not well, but they are alive. They are inside the underground shelter."
