The Hunter Becomes the Hunted
To someone like him, standing before a pinnacle Realm expert was like standing beneath a mountain that could collapse at any moment.
One careless word could cost him his life.
Leon stopped beside him.
The general's breathing became shallow.
For several heartbeats, Leon said nothing.
The silence was almost unbearable.
Then Leon spoke calmly.
"You can get lost now."
General of Ashford City froze.
For a moment, he almost wondered if he had heard correctly.
Then relief exploded across his face.
His tightly clenched shoulders finally relaxed.
He immediately bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your magnanimity. Please forgive me."
His voice carried barely concealed excitement.
"I'll get lost now. I'll get lost now…"
He did not dare waste another second.
The moment Leon gave him permission to leave, General of Ashford City turned around.
He waved his hand hurriedly.
"Retreat!"
The soldiers he had brought with him quickly followed.
