37 Chaos in the city Part - 3

Because of all the above events, the city is currently in such a chaotic state. The only safe place for ordinary people and preachers is the association, where it is presently located.

I have finished listening to everything.

Erik didn't understand some of it all and asked.

"There is something I don't understand: why bring the city to this state? It wasn't me who killed your son. With the power you have, it's easy to find me."

"Well...if we had known that, I would have told you the reason, wouldn't I?" Leon chuckled lightly and shrugged.

The question made no sense. If they had known, he would have told her. That was why he laughed; he had no idea why the Luminis guild president had done that.

Erik, realizing how stupid his question had been, decided to change it to a better one.

"Why didn't you do anything against the Luminis guild?"

Why didn't he do anything? Knowing that the Luminis guild caused everything in the city, why stand by and watch everyone die?

That was what Erik didn't understand at the moment.

Why hadn't he done anything to move and take down the guild immediately?

Why hadn't he done anything?

Violet, Adrian, Irine, and the others were interested in Leon's answer, but they didn't understand why either.

"I didn't do anything because it wasn't my problem," Leon replied.

"Are you serious, Leon!"

"Thousands of people died, Leon! The reason you didn't do anything is because it wasn't your FUCKING problem!"

"You're the strongest hunter there is in this fucking world! You shouldn't have to go save all those people!"

Adrian and Irine burst out.

They couldn't believe that thousands of innocent people had died. Thousands! and he did nothing. Why wasn't this his problem?

The two of them could not accept this.

"It seems you two are misunderstood," Leon interrupted them before continuing.

However, he understood why they blew up like that. It was pretty evident that they were affected by all the deaths of innocent people, especially all the children who died.

Could more lives have been saved when the explosions and monsters emerged?

Of course, it could have!

Why didn't he?

As he responded, this was not his problem.

You can call him a monster, heartless man, or many other names, but he is not the type to solve other people's problems.

Every action has a reaction...

Snapping out of his thoughts, Leon continued.

"Being the strongest hunter doesn't mean I'm a hero..."

"But..."

"And if I were in trouble, what would happen? Would they help me?" asked Leon.

"..."

Adrian and Irine had no answer and bit their lips in frustration.

Why would anyone but them help him? Why would they need to enable the strongest hunter?

That would be what most people, both calendars and ordinary people, would think.

In this silence, Leon confirmed that he was right. Being the strongest, they would not help him unless they asked for something in return.

After all, nothing in this world is free.

After that, there was an awkward silence, and most wanted to leave the room—until Erik broke this awkward silence.

"So whose problem is it?"

Everyone looked at Erik but not as surprised as before. He had seen him casually talking to Leon, and since he was asking questions at the wrong time, this hardly surprised them anymore.

"This problem is yours," Leon pointed out to him.

"Mine?" Erik pointed to himself. "Why was this is my problem?"

"Yes, your problem."

"And why is it my problem?" Erik asked, confused. He didn't understand his problem.

"Well, it is your problem if we connect the dots. The Luminis guild was looking for the president's son, something no one knew about until today, 2. You said you killed the Luminis guild president's son," Leon said.

Since it is easy to deduce why the president of the Luminis guild reacted to that, In short, Alejandro Belmonte is a father who feels hatred for his son's death and wants the city to experience what he felt when his son died.

"So it's because of me that the city is in chaos..." Erik muttered. He now realized that he had indirectly destroyed the city by killing the son of the Luminis guild president.

So, this is cause and effect...

It looks like I'm making a name for my affiliation...

He smiled self-critically, thinking about this.

Putting his thoughts aside, Erik looked at Leon with a cold expression and said.

"Leon, now I need your help."

The corners of Leon's lips quirked up.

"But keep in mind that I will only help you once," he said, smiling.

"Yes, I know it's only one time, and you will need help to take care of the guild president."

Leon assisted with a smile. It was finally time to relax; he had been sitting still for too long.

Well, because nothing like this had happened before, in this case.

"Guys, are you going to accompany me?" asked Leon, looking at his subordinates.

"Of course, I'll accompany you to the end of the world!"

"Of course, we will accompany you."

"Mr. Leon, we won't be left behind guarding people if an infiltrator exists."

Adrian, Alan, and Irine decided to go with Leon, while the other two decided to stay.

Because it was very likely that some Luminis guild infiltrator was mixed in the crowd.

"Well then, we're leaving," Leon said, getting up and preparing to leave for the Luminis guild.

"Wait..." Erik spoke up.

"What?"

"You can give me a rank C mana stone for my partner," Erik said. I remember that Violet was just short of being promoted to rank C.

"Sure, no problem," Leon said, looking at one of his subordinates. He got the message and went to get the mana stone.

Erik looked at Violet, who hadn't said a word since they arrived, and asked her.

"Violet, are you coming with us, or will you stay?".

Violet snapped out of her thoughts but didn't answer right away. She hesitated whether to go with them or not; she felt she would be a burden to them, but she didn't want to stay either. She wanted to go with them, but the negative thoughts conflicted her.

She closed her eyes to organize all her thoughts.

She opened her eyes, and now she had a determined look because she also had some guilt, as she was also present when Erik killed the son of the Luminis guild president.

"I'll go too!" She said with determination.

This made a small smile appear on Erik's face; he liked that kind of attitude.

Something he didn't have before if it wasn't for the system and all the change he experienced in this short time.

Moments later, one of Leon's subordinates entered with the mana stone. Erik slid the stone to Violet so she could absorb it and he could move up in rank.

...

Luminis guild rooftop.

Alexander was fully equipped and waiting for the enemies' arrival, but after half an hour, no one showed up to attack his guild, where everything was fully equipped.

But he felt something strange after turning the city into chaos; no one had come, not even the guild.

Alexander thought that he would come looking for his head after everything started.

However, it didn't happen; two hours had passed, and no one had shown up.

Could it be that they're dealing with the monsters? That could be why he hadn't come to attack it, but he wasn't entirely sure.

"Is there any movement?" he asked.

- No sir, there has been no movement. Everyone is in their respective guilds fighting the monsters.

One of the minions appeared out of formless nowhere and disappeared again as if he had never been there in the first place.

Alexander continues to contemplate the destroyed city with a slight smile on his face.

One of his subordinates appeared with a pale expression and with a body entire of blood and torn clothes.

"What happened..."

- My lord... Leon is on his way, accompanied by five more people.

"What, and what happened to the rest of the team?"

- Sir, they died, and only I made it out alive... but I think Leon left me alive on purpose.

"Shit..." Alexander cursed. The hardest part came, but not impossible, because he had used his best equipment, and the guild members were equipped with perfect items.

Alexander took a deep breath and shouted. "Get ready now!"

At that moment, the clouds began to charge with silver lightning, producing loud sounds in the sky.

Alexander began to get a bad feeling about this, as the same lightning had struck the city's center.

As he looked up. Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura that made him visibly tremble; Alexander quickly turned toward where the powerful aura was coming from.

And soon after, six individuals appeared out of the shadows.

They were Leon, Erik, Violet, Irine, Alan and Adrian.

Alexander's expression darkened utterly when he saw Leon, who had a slight smile on his face and was pointing upwards.

Alexander looked up, and the clouds were fully charged with silver lightning.

At that instant, he remembered why these rays were so familiar to him... He gritted his teeth and covered himself with black energy and red tones.

CRACK!!!
