Chapter 587: Luke The Gentleman
( Leo’s POV )
“Who are you?” Leo asked feeling annoyed, as he did not expect someone to suddenly barge in on his training session.
This was the VIP sector and hence nobody should have been technically able to barge in on him, however, a woman somehow appeared before him and that too without an ankle monitor.
“I’ll ask again…. Who the fuck are you?” Leo said, pointing his training dagger towards PinkLotus, as instead of being impressed by her natural charm and beauty, Leo only regarded her as an unknown variable.
“I’m Alia, but you may know me as PinkLotus, we met at the rankers event? I just became a master and I’m your new neighbor–” Alia blurted nervously, as she tried to exin her sudden arrival, however, her name only pissed Leo even more.
“Okay, it was nice seeing you, please see yourself out of my property as I’m not interested in meeting visitors today” Leo said coldly, as he gave her the look of contempt.
“Are you training? Do you think we can maybe spar for a moment? You declined before, but since you are already training here and I’m a master now too…. Foow n?w episodes 0n th? “vel1st.coΜ”.Maybe we can spar against each other and understand the depth of our strength?” Alia requested, as she really wished to have a fight against Leo, however, Leo only scoffed in response.
“How rude and entitled are you? Have you never been taught the meaning of ‘No’ in your life? You might be used to getting whatever you wanted whenever you wanted with others, but I’m not the same.
I already told you that I’m not interested in entertaining visitors today, so if you have any semnce of self respect, please see yourself out of my property–” Leo said, as he admonished PinkLotus for her ridiculous attitude.
“I—but–” PinkLotus stuttered, as she had never really been talked to so coldly in her life before, and to her surprise she almost broke down in tears because of it.
*Sob*
*Sob*
Tears streamed down her face, dropping as distinct droplets in the mud below as she could not contain her shame.
Her intentions were not to be rude, however, she only wanted to spar with Leo and felt excited for the same.
Her only motivation to reach the Master realm was to have a fight with him and she did not understand why Leo kept dodging one.
He was truly powerful, she had seen it with her own eyes, and just for once, she wanted topare herself against it.
However, Leo kept rejecting her and that too in the coldest way possible, as if he had an agenda against her, which made her feel extremely frustrated internally.
Usually she was a very polite and kind girl who would never pester someone if they did not like it, however, Leo made her act in ways that were not in-line her usual self.
Ashamed at being admonished over it, she somehow found herself suddenly breaking down in tears, as this encounter had turned from being something that she seriously looked forward to, to something that she wanted to forget as soon as possible.
“Why is she crying Leo? What the fuck did you do?” A booming male voice said, as Luke suddenly walked out of his manor into themon courtyard, feeling angry that Leo had made a guest cry.
“Are you okay? Do you need some water?” He asked PinkLotus, who said nothing but kept staring at him with teary eyes.
“I’m sorry for my younger brother’s behavior ma’am, he can behave quite rudely at times to people he doesn’t consider family.
I’ll make sure to educate him properly next time” Luke said, as he apologized on Leo’s behalf and then signaled him to go fetch the woman some water.
For a moment Leo felt wronged, but then as he stared into Luke’s furious eyes, he immediately dropped his protest and rushed into the manor to fetch some water.
“Thank You…. Also I’m sorry, I’ll go, your brother is right, I should not have came unannounced…. I–I just wanted a spar against him. I, it was improper of me” PinkLotus apologized, as it was only then as she lifted her head out of her palms, and wiped off her tears that Luke realized who she was.
‘So cute…’ Luke thought, as his heart skipped a beat looking at the breathtaking beauty that stood before him.
For a moment he felt himself beingpletely lost in her gorgeous face, as somehow looking at her slightly red nose and flushed cheeks, Luke felt her own heart pinch with pain.
‘How could Leo make such a beautiful soul cry’ he wondered.
If Leo didn’t already have a girlfriend, he might seriously suspect him of being indifferent toward women— because how else could someone not be moved by such beauty?
“Water?” Leo offered aftering back from the manor, as Luke took the water from his hand and smacked him hard on the head.
“Is this the manners I’ve taught you?” He asked, offering the water with both hands to PinkLotus, as he bowed his head in apology.
“Ouch” Leo protested for a second, but immediately fell silent as he looked into Luke’s furious eyes that left no room for disagreement.
“Thank-you—” PinkLotus said, epting the ss of water as she drank it slowly.
The water helped her calm down significantly and helped her regain someposure, as after drinking it she immediately recognised Luke as being SkyLion.
“You’re SkyLion correct?” She asked, sounding surprised as Luke nodded in acknowledgement.
“And you’re TheBoss’s elder brother?” She asked again, as she could not believe that both brothers were such monsters within the game.
It was almost like a power family straight out of a fantasy novel.
“Yes, I’m this idiot’s brother. Please forgive him for his antics. I failed as a brother to teach him proper social etiquettes” Luke replied, as he pushed Leo’s head down into an apologetic bow.
“Please tell me what you are here for? I’ll help you for sure….” Luke said, as listening to his words, PinkLotus’s eyes lit up once more.
