"Shit!" Waland cursed.
The two men hadn't considered the possibility of their own deaths.
Michiel thought the two men facing them were madmen.
But Waland wasn't insane. Compared to Leon Chen, his reflexes were commendable.
Unfortunately, from the moment he confronted Leon, Waland's fate was sealed.
As he sidestepped, he was astonished to see the young man make no attempt to dodge.
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
When the attacks hit the boy, they rippled as if striking a water surface, leaving him unscathed.
Waland felt his blood run cold.
Losing his advantage, Waland was filled with despair.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The night echoed with the dull sound of shattering.
Waland's body sprouted several bloody wounds.
"Ahh!!" Michiel screamed as if seeing a ghost and bolted towards the pier.
Michiel was completely unhinged, jumping into the frigid water and shouting incomprehensible words.
Leon walked over coldly.
Michiel raised his hands to shield his face, wearing a universally understood look of terror, begging for mercy.
But under Leon's Iron Will, there was only one outcome tonight.
Ahhh~
Michiel's struggles ended.
Leon returned to Waland's side. The burly man was still alive, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, blood bubbling from his mouth, muttering, "Shaman, Shaman…"
When he saw Leon, his dilated pupils briefly focused before he expired.
Seeing the blood flowing out, Leon felt his mouth go dry and a strong thirst for blood rise within him.
Damn, the price of Material Penetration had come.
Material Penetration was a terrifying ability, but Leon disliked using it due to the bloodlust it induced. The more frequently it was used, the more insatiable the craving for blood became.
Leon wondered if that detective novelist turned killer had fallen victim to this same bloodlust after his first use, leading to an uncontrollable descent. Leon fought to suppress his violent urges. If any novelist wanted to know what a vampire felt like without feeding, they should look at Leon now.
Leon felt on the verge of collapse, his head splitting. The blood pooling from the bodies seemed like the most exquisite, intoxicating nectar, tempting his throat.
Leon wanted to vomit, but couldn't control his body as he walked towards the corpses…
Sienna Tang had waited in the container for a while until there were no more sounds outside.
The deathly silence outside felt like a graveyard, compelling Sienna to step out of the container. The door was nearly broken down, requiring just a bit of force to push open. The air was cold and thick with the stench of blood.
"Leon?" Sienna bit her lip, desperately searching for Leon.
Finally, she saw him in front of a container, leaning against it, staring blankly at the sky. His eyes, filled with post-battle exhaustion, broke her heart. His left arm had a deep knife wound, blood nearly soaking his entire body. His mouth, chest, everywhere was splattered with blood.
The sight struck Sienna harder than any archaeological discovery ever had.
She rushed over, "Leon, Leon… wake up…"
"Teacher?" Leon's eyes regained a bit of light, his voice hoarse, "I'm glad you're safe. It's over now."
"What have you done!!" Sienna was on the verge of tears.
"I have no strength left. I need you to help me home," Leon said, feeling utterly exhausted. This was the price of Iron Will.
Sienna didn't know this. In movies, the hero often dies beautifully after defeating evil. Leon looked just like that, causing Sienna to shout anxiously, "Leon Chen, if you dare die on me, I'll rape your..."
Leon, already weakened from blood loss, almost laughed out loud, thinking he might as well die now!
Sienna, realizing Leon wasn't mortally wounded, felt a surge of emotion. Seeing him pretending to be strong and comforting her, she couldn't hold back any longer. She buried her head in Leon's chest and cried uncontrollably. For the first time in twenty-five years, Sienna Tang cried for a man…
Sienna used Leon's phone to call a cab. The driver was startled to see the bloodied Leon, asking, "Were you robbed?"
Sienna nodded, "Yes, he got hurt protecting me. But it's not serious, the bleeding has stopped."
The driver, seeing Sienna's beauty, muttered about how dangerous it was, but also said, "It's rare to find a man willing to risk his life to protect his girlfriend. Miss, you should cherish him."
"I will," Sienna smiled slightly, looking at the drowsy Leon.
Thankfully, it was past midnight, and the streets were empty. Returning to the lab didn't draw much attention. Sienna didn't call the police as Leon had asked her not to, though she wasn't sure why she complied. While bandaging his wound, Sienna was amazed to find that apart from the knife wound on his left hand, Leon had no other injuries from the intense battle.
Sienna didn't see any bodies when she came out, assuming the terrorists had fled. But did Leon really scare them off alone?
Sienna laughed at the thought. How could that be?
Looking at the blood-covered Leon, Sienna whispered in his ear, "Darling, wake up and take a bath before sleeping."
"No," Leon mumbled, still groggy.
"You're filthy and covered in blood. You'll dirty my bed."
Leon clearly had no strength left.
"Alright."
Sienna sighed, unable to let Leon sleep in such a state. Gritting her teeth, she picked him up, her past training allowing her to carry him like a rabbit to the bathroom. She swiftly stripped him of his clothes.
Sienna's face turned red. Despite her seductive appearance, she had spent her life immersed in studies, and her coquettish behavior was just for fun in class.
Blushing furiously, her heart raced as she placed Leon in the bathtub, where he continued to sleep soundly. Sienna suspected he wasn't pretending. After a few teasing pokes, Leon remained motionless, like a dead man.
"Considering you saved me, tonight I'll give you a treat."
Sienna undressed, removing her jacket, jeans, and finally her lace panties, leaving her completely naked. Her body, flawless and seductive, would make any normal man's nose bleed.
With a towel draped over her front, she glanced at the sleeping Leon, recalling his words, "I might as well die," feeling both amused and irritated.
Sienna carefully entered the tub, discarding the towel.
If Leon knew Sienna's flawless naked body was right before him while he dreamt, he might actually want to bash his head against the wall without using Material Penetration...
