Chapter 93: Sugar and Leon Hell
"Ah!"
As she watched the female prisoner crash into the metal compartment wall, with more than half of her head embedded in it, the female police officer didn't bother to rub her sore chest and rushed to pull the unresponsive prisoner out.
"What's going on? Why did she crash into the wall? Wake up! You..."
"You...you don't have to shout..."
Leon, who was leaning against her, patted her shoulder and tried to calm her down, his heart racing at over 160 beats per minute, his body covered in cold sweat. He covered his ears, which were ringing, and weakly advised, "She's probably just knocked out, she won't die...you...just...shut up, it's too loud for my ears..."
"How is that possible?"
Although she didn't know why the female prisoner did that, it was clear that it was related to Leon's problem. The anxious female police officer shook off Leon's hand and turned to point at the dented compartment wall, scolding, "Look! It's dented so deeply! This is iron! Such strength..."
"Don't look at the compartment, can't you see her head?"
"What's the point of looking at her head? That's iron! If the iron is dented so deeply, how could a person's head..."
After checking the female prisoner's head, the police officer found that there was no blood, only a large red bruise. She was shocked and stared at the dented wall and the prisoner's forehead in disbelief.
"This...how is this possible? How could a person's head be harder than iron?"
"Hah, if your head isn't hard enough, can you be a Renegade?"
Leon mumbled a few incoherent sentences, feeling that his energy had been drained by more than 50%. He leaned back in his seat, panting, and was relieved that his reaction had been quick enough.
When he sensed that the female prisoner was about to crash into the wall, he had promptly activated the Holy Spirit Pendant, using his will to interfere with reality, temporarily changing the metal wall into a rubber-like material.
According to Leon's original plan, he was going to maintain this state for a few seconds, at least until the wall returned to its normal shape, to avoid being discovered by the police officer.
However, the energy consumption of interfering with reality was terrifying, and Leon's energy was drained in an instant. He didn't dare to wait for the wall to bounce back and quickly released his grip on the pendant.
After his ability suddenly stopped, the rubberized wall was modified back to its original state under the "pressure" of reality, causing the female prisoner's head to get stuck in the "wall" instead of bouncing back...
...
After leaning back in his chair and catching his breath, Leon looked at the police officer, who was still staring at the "Rebel Iron Head" in confusion. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and checked the female prisoner's condition.
"She's fine, except for the bruise on her head. She's probably just knocked out and might have a slight concussion."
"That's good, that's good..."
Although Leon wasn't a doctor, the police officer felt reassured after hearing his words. She then noticed Leon's unusual condition.
"You...what's wrong? Why is your face pale? And you're sweating a lot?"
"..."
I deserved it! I knew that people who could give birth to Anomalies are often more extreme, but I still didn't prepare for her to take it to the extreme and give her a chance to struggle.
Leon's energy was depleted by more than half, and his stomach was growling. He smiled wryly in his heart, took note of the lesson, and replied casually, "I don't know, maybe I'm just hungry...but tell me, what were you planning to do with her at the Lane Family?"
"It's about the assassination of the Princess..."
The police officer hesitated, remembering Leon's "Renegade" identity, and felt it was strange to discuss this with him. However, recalling the strange interrogation earlier, she decided to tell him everything:
"The guns left behind by the Renegades at the scene belonged to the Lane Family's Armory, and she had insisted that the guns were bought from the Lane Family...are you feeling unwell?"
"After glancing at Lyon's pale face and seeing him unconsciously pressing a hand to his stomach, the female police officer bit her lower lip. She then reached into her pocket and took out two candies, roughly shoving them into his hand.
'Here, take these! If you faint from hunger, it's not my problem!'
'...'
Even when trying to be friendly, she had to be so blunt. You're such a stubborn person...
Lyon looked at the candies in his hand, silently peeled off the light pink wrapper, and popped the heart-shaped milk candy into his mouth. He mumbled a vague 'thanks' before continuing his questioning.
'So, what about now? Are you still going to confront the Lionheart family about the arms factory incident?'
'No, I want to ask about something else first!'
Hearing this, the female police officer shook her head. She turned to look at the unconscious female prisoner beside her, then bit her lip firmly.
'During the assassination of the Princess, this person created an opportunity by blowing up a flour factory, causing many workers to be injured or killed. She's not a good person, but the reason she's in this state now is ultimately because of the crimes the Lionheart family committed in the past.
The arms factory incident can be investigated by others, but if I don't look into what happened to her and her husband, I doubt anyone else will. So, I must get to the bottom of this and ensure those bastards get the punishment they deserve!'
'Good, I hope you can do it!'
Although he shared the female prisoner's opinion that she probably wouldn't find any conclusive evidence and would be forcefully stopped by the Lionheart family, Lyon still maintained a sense of respect. After some thought, he promised,
'You've seen my abilities, and most people can't hide the truth from me. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties in your investigation, you can come to me for help.'
'...'
Lyon didn't pour cold water on her beliefs or mock her, and was even willing to offer assistance. The female police officer felt a mix of emotions, blinking and then turning away slightly awkwardly. She mumbled a 'thank you' like a buzzing mosquito.
You're such a difficult person...
Lyon shook his head, a bit speechless. Considering the favor of the candy earlier, he added a warning:
'Just be careful. The Lionheart family doesn't play nice. Even with your powerful background, they might not hesitate to make a move.'
'Don't worry, I'm prepared.'
The female police officer nodded, her expression serious.
'Recently, I've been working on several cases, almost all of which are related to the Lionheart family. To handle those cases, I've gone through most of their family's files.
I can't be any clearer about how despicable and unscrupulous this family is, and how they'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals! You don't need to tell me to be careful; I will be extra vigilant!'
'Mhm, as long as you're confident.'
Seeing that the female police officer understood the danger of the situation, Lyon responded with a sound of acknowledgment and didn't say more. He sat back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest and recover some energy. However, just as he closed his eyes, someone gently poked his thigh.
'Don't just talk about me. What about you?'
Looking at the only 'Lane' in front of her who wasn't so detestable, a rare warmth appeared in the female police officer's eyes. With curiosity, she asked in a soft voice,
'Aren't you going to the Lane estate too? I'm going there to gather evidence of their crimes, but why are you going?'
'I'm going to meet my family.'
'????????'
