Chapter 327 - Why are we pretending anymore? (1/2)

Blood trickled down from Leon's head and cascaded down while tainting the back of Rex hand that was still grabbing his face. However, even though Leon inflicted a huge blow from him, a tip of a dagger lightly poked Rex side.

If Rex just heedlessly thrust forward, he was certain that he'll also receive a grave injury. After all, facing Leon needed precise calculations before attacking him as he was insanely flexible in terms of a bloody fight.

Thanks to the years of working with him, Rex grasped a few habits of Leon when fighting. Yet, Rex must admit that he lost. That until now, he never defeated Leon; not once. The only reason Rex successfully landed his attack to him was due to Leon's consent.

For a split-second, Leon completely drop his guard as if giving him all the openings. Hence, with a great mind and keen eyes of Rex, he didn't wasted the once in a lifetime opportunity.

Releasing the bleeding Leon, Rex took a few steps back and scrutinized the condition of his confidant.

”Now, that feels better… thanks, Cap” With his eyes closed and his back leaning against the cracked wall, Leon raised his hand and touched his bleeding head. Slowing opening one of his eyes, Leon checked his palm that was tainted with fresh thick blood.

Just then, Tito's noticeable built came in sight. Seeing that both Luciano's 'extended hands' were injured as Rex's arms had a huge slash from near his wrist up to his elbow while Leon's half of his face was covered with red ruby.

Since they both calmed down, he wordlessly strode towards them and picked Leon and Rex like little kids. He threw them on each his super huge shoulder as if they don't weigh anything before taking his leave without a word.

Surprisingly enough, Leon didn't complain due to Rex unreserved attack did made an effect on him. On the other hand, though Rex seemed he only inflicted minor injuries, alas, god knows that this seemingly small wounds were deeper than one expected -- as expected from Seraphina's deadly human weapon.

”Man, boss knew this was coming -- it would be a shame to die here and not by her hand.” Tito commented as he carried both men like a giant would do. Despite Tito's huge built, it was startling that his speed was only a little slower with Riggs.

Three…

Ace held his breath as the time somewhat became slower with the last second. He intently peered the opened entrance and prepared himself to drift his ride to their direction.

Two.

Just then, Ace caught a huge shadow dashing his way towards them, hence, without further ado, Ace instantly geared up to and stepped on the trucks pedal. He then made a turn by drifting and came to a full stop in front of the entrance.

One.
