Leon stared at the young man in front of him.
Only two months earlier, he was a stranger to his gang, and now he dared to ask for a high-ranked position like Pierce's. If that was anyone else, Leon would've laughed in his face.
But when Tristan Hayes was the one saying those passionate words, Leon didn't feel like laughing at all. Not only did he already proved himself on various missions, but there was something about him that made Leon think like he stared not at some grunt, but on almost an equal.
An adolescent lion who was letting out his first roar.
It would've been a waste to leave a person like that to do grunt work. Next to him, all the other candidates Leon had for the position felt lacking in all aspects except the time they spent in King Lion Gang.
At the same time, Leon felt like Tristan wasn't a person who would stop with just King Lion Gang. An ambition like that will never stop reaching forward.
Leon smiled.
