“Spared you?” Leo glanced down at Bruno, who was lying on the ground at an angle. “Are you joking with me? I have given you plenty of chances to save your life. Not only did you murder Mrs. Henley, but you also attempted to kill Sophia. You wouldn’t be able to atone for your crimes even if you died ten thousand times!”
Leo lifted his right foot.
“Leo, you… you can’t kill me!” Bruno struggled in his dying breath.
Leo stomped his right foot heavily.
The sound of bones shattering filled the air as Bruno’s blood stained the floor.
Leo’s power and terror were enough to intimidate Layton. He had no intention of fighting Leo and broke through the window, fleeing.
Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak was activated, and Layton’s figure paused. Then a sword pierced through his body from behind.
The bodies of Bruno, Jamie, and Layton turned to ashes under the influence of a Spiritual Fire talisman.
“Ring, ring…”
The sound of a phone ringing came, Nora was calling.
Leo pressed the answer button, and Nora’s anxious voice came through the receiver. “Mr. Bloomer, something’s wrong. Sophia is missing!”
“What? Didn’t I tell you to watch over her?” Leo angrily retorted.
Nora apologized, “Mr. Bloomer, I’m sorry. After Sophia woke up, she didn’t regain her sanity and rushed out of the house like a madwoman.”
“We chased after her, but she was too fast, and we lost her. We’ve already called the police…”
“Enough, Nora. Don’t search for her outside anymore. Go back home first. I’ll find Sophia!” Leo said and hung up the phone.
Leo left the Henley Family Estate, still using the Bronze Little Crane as his means of transportation, following the guidance of the crane.
Within an hour, Leo entered the Starlight Building and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
In the elevator, Leo kept praying, hoping that nothing happened to Sophia. Otherwise, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Upon reaching the top floor, Leo made his way to the rooftop through the fire escape.
In a corner of the rooftop, near the edge, Leo spotted a woman lying on the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Layton must have wanted to control Sophia to make her jump off the building and stage a suicide scene.
Fortunately, Layton was killed in time; otherwise, Sophia would have been separated from this world.
Leo quickly walked over and lifted Sophia from the ground, awakening her using Spiritual Power.
Soon, as Sophia’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes slowly opened.
At first, Sophia’s gaze was confused, then surprised, and finally filled with excitement and joy as she tightly hugged Leo.
When Sophia was under the influence of sorcery, a small part of her consciousness remained clear. She knew what she had done but couldn’t control her body.
When Sophia reached the rooftop of the Starlight Building, standing on the edge, preparing to jump, her clear consciousness was filled with thoughts of Leo.
At that moment, Sophia deeply understood that she had fallen deeply in love with Leo, and this love had already penetrated her bones.
However, it was regrettable that everything was about to end, and she and Leo would be separated by life and death.
The moment Sophia saw Leo when she opened her eyes, she knew she hadn’t died. The person she loved deeply had saved her.
After a long time, Sophia released her hands tightly holding onto Leo.
“Leo, you’re such a jerk!” Sophia scolded with tears in her eyes.
“I truly am a jerk.” Leo held Sophia’s hand tightly.
“Why did you divorce me? Why didn’t you explain? Why didn’t you call me or even send a message all this time?” Sophia questioned with grievance.
Leo looked into Sophia’s eyes and sincerely said, “Sophia, I had my reasons.”
“Reasons? Don’t you plan on telling me now?”
“Now, I will tell you everything. Be prepared because what I’m about to say will shatter your worldview.”
“Tell me, no matter what it is, I can accept it,” Sophia said.
“Sophia, actually… I’m a Cultivator,” Leo said solemnly.
“What? A Cultivator?” Sophia pulled her hand out of Leo’s grip, angrily saying, “I think you’re an alien!”
“It’s true.” Leo extended his right index finger. “Look.”
Flames ignited on Leo’s fingertip.
Sophia’s beautiful eyes widened suddenly. “You’re doing magic tricks, aren’t you?”
Leo shook his head with a smile and then stood up, leaping off the building.
“Leo!!” Sophia exclaimed in shock.
The next second, Leo’s body floated up, standing quietly outside the rooftop, smiling at Sophia.
Sophia was completely stunned, falling into a state of disbelief.
Her man, or more specifically, her ex-husband, turned out to be a superhuman!
Sophia’s worldview was strongly shaken.
When Leo returned to Sophia’s side and took her hand, Sophia snapped out of her daze.
“Leo, what are you? Are you human or ghost? Or maybe I’m just dreaming!?” Sophia took two steps back and pinched her thigh, feeling the pain.
“Sophia, you’re not dreaming. This world is not as simple as you think. On this blue planet, there are not only Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and Martial Cultivators but also Espers, werewolves, and vampires…”
Leo started from that rainy night and told Sophia about how he became a Cultivator and all the things he had encountered until now.
When Sophia heard about the Koken family and how Leo divorced her to protect himself, she was deeply moved.
After listening to Leo’s adventures and experiences, Sophia fell into a state of stunned silence once again.
After a while, Sophia raised her gaze, looked into Leo’s eyes, and said, “Leo, thank you for telling me all this.”
“Sophia, I love you. Will you remarry me?” Leo asked hopefully.
“Remarry?” Sophia was taken aback at first, then a sly smile appeared on her face. “If we remarry, what about your girlfriends?”
“Girl… girlfriends?” Leo’s mouth twitched twice. “Don’t misunderstand, I really only have a normal friendship with them.”
“Is that so? Coral and Renee are both stunning beauties. Are you telling me you’re not even a bit attracted to them?”
“My heart only belongs to you.”
“Stop it. We’re just ex-wife and ex-husband now.”
“What ex-wife and ex-husband? We’ve been a married couple for so long. How about we go get the remarriage formalities done today?” Leo pulled Sophia’s hand again.
“Let’s see how things go.” Sophia let Leo lead her, giving him a playful smile.
Leo’s face turned bitter. “What do you mean, ‘let’s see how things go’?”
“It means I’ll be judging your performance,” Sophia replied.
“Isn’t my performance good enough?”
“Passable, I guess.”
