Leon was speechless, his gaze fixed on Athena as her words left him stunned.
He knew he had been decisively defeated and that there was no hiding it from her. Any attempt to deny it would only make him look foolish and add to his embarrassment.
"This woman is incredibly shrewd and challenging," Leon muttered to himself in helplessness.
The reason he dreaded facing Athena again wasn't just the past incident that had left him traumatized, but also her remarkable intelligence and the difficulty of dealing with her.
Having lived for over a hundred years, Athena had witnessed countless eras and accumulated vast life experience. Her wisdom, cunning, and mindset were far beyond those of most beings.
Even with his own extensive knowledge from his previous life on Earth, he had to acknowledge that he paled in comparison to this formidable woman.
Shaking off his thoughts, Leon sighed and looked at her with a resigned expression.
