Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

This chapter has 6300 words, and I updated three chapters in one go, which can be considered as a burst of updates to make up for what I owed yesterday.

Chapter 188: 190 The House for the Old, Weak and Sick

Finally, he got rid of the traitor who framed him three years ago, but Leon did not feel the joy of revenge.

He was feeling somewhat complicated at the moment.

Compared with the success of revenge, he was more puzzled.

Would a person really abandon his bottom line and beliefs just because of something like "always being the runner-up"?

There may be other reasons why Victor became a lackey of the empire.

But Leon had no way of knowing, after all, a corpse cannot speak.

Just like how the Empire originally put the blame for the failure of the war and the traitor on the “dead man” Leon.

Of course, Leon would not regret killing Victor.

Those who rebel must not be allowed to stay.

Letting him live would not only be a threat to Leon, but also pose a significant risk to the master, Rebecca and Martin.

Leon adjusted his state slightly and returned the two pistols to Rebecca.

One was used to execute Victor, and the other was the blank-loading pistol he assembled at Rebecca's house on his first day back in the Empire.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find this gun. Turns out it's always with you," said Rebecca.

Leon withdrew his gaze from Victor's body, turned around, and smiled tiredly, "Are you not worried at all about losing your gun?"

"I thought I had put him in a corner again."

Rebecca put the gun away properly. "You know, for stay-at-home guys like me and Martin, our homes are always messy. It's not uncommon for things to be lost."

Martin, who was standing by, covered his aching chest and tried to defend himself, "Rebecca, my room is very clean, and I'm not a homebody. I just don't want to go out."

"If you don't want to go out, doesn't that mean you're a stay-at-home? Then what's the definition of a stay-at-home?" Rebecca argued.

Martin was unable to defend himself and closed his mouth silently.

He covered his chest and held onto the dining table to Victor's body.

The former deputy captain fell in a pool of blood, lifeless.

After a moment of silence, Martin sighed, "Why on earth would Victor help the Empire frame the captain..."

Leon shook his head slowly. "It's meaningless to dwell on the motives of a small pawn. It's better to simplify the question directly. Why is the Empire so eager to kill me?"

Martin, who was born in a minister's family, quickly thought of a reason, "Is his achievement greater than his master's?"

After graduating from the Dragon Slayer Academy, Leon went from being an ordinary soldier in the Dragon Slayer Army to the "strongest dragon slayer" passed down by word of mouth in just a few years.

Whether in terms of strength or personal charm, Leon is worthy of this title.

Leon's prestige among the people gradually accumulated, and he gained the support and love of countless people in the Dragon Slayer Army.

Such a person is nothing short of a potential threat to the empire's power center.

Leon had indeed thought about this. Was it because his appearance was seen as a thorn in the side of the empire that he had to be eliminated to ensure the concentration and unification of power?

But this does not explain the cooperative relationship between the Empire and the Dragon Clan.

Or maybe, these are two completely unrelated things...

"I think the reason why the empire is targeting this kid is not just because of his so-called achievements that surpass his master."

Tiger's voice came from behind.

Leon and the other two looked back.

Tiger held the sword in his arms and leaned against the door. "When I was young, I experienced some things that made me fully realize the power and darkness of the empire. This is why I often teach Leon to just focus on fighting and not interfere in government affairs. But Leon's understanding of power at that time was not enough for the empire to rush to get rid of him, so there must be other reasons."

After a pause, Tiger added, "Maybe it really is related to the dragon clan. This war has lasted for hundreds of years, and there are still many inside stories and conspiracies that we have no way of knowing. Killing Victor, a small pawn, will not stop the empire from hunting down Leon. We still have a long way to go."

The master's words made the atmosphere in the room heavy.

Yes, killing a traitor doesn't mean anything.

Victor is just a puppet being manipulated, and the real boss behind the scenes has not yet appeared.

In order to kill Leon, they even sent out a dragon king like Constantine.

What will be the subsequent measures?

A stronger Dragon King? Or something else?

Leon didn't know.

This human empire that has stood on the vast land for thousands of years has a profound heritage hidden far beyond what Leon can see now.

He needs more time and deeper exploration to uncover the layers of fog that shroud him.

But until then...

Leon looked at Rebecca and Martin.

"The Empire will soon find out that we killed Victor, and the hunt for me will change from 'backstabbing from the inside' to a blatant wanted order. Martin is safer here, and others don't know that you are traveling with us tonight. Besides, your father can protect you."

Leon said, "But... Rebecca... I'm sorry that you had to wade into this mess with us. Once we're out of the spotlight, Master and I will send you out of the empire to a safe place. Master, can you send Rebecca to Master's wife?"

Tiger raised his eyebrows and scratched his forehead, "Okay... I can, but how should I put it, your master's wife has returned to her family, and I am not very familiar with her family..."

"Master, you and your wife have been married for thirty years, but you are still not very familiar with her family, right?"

The master blushed, "What's wrong with being married for thirty years? Does thirty years mean you are familiar with each other... We don't visit each other often, so don't ask questions like that, kid."

This time Leon was also a little troubled, "Is that so... That's really hard to deal with. How about letting Rebecca stay with Martin temporarily, at least she can be guaranteed to be safe for a period of time. After all, the empire wouldn't dare to just break into the minister's house to search for someone, right?"

The master nodded. "That's a good idea. What do you think, Martin?"

"I have no problem with that. Rebecca can stay at my house as long as she wants. I want to prove to her that I'm not a couch potato."

"Okay, then—"

IIjiu⊙WuXianBaQiYi③ "I have an opinion!"

The loli with twin ponytails raised her hands high. "I am touched that you three are here to discuss my future, but are you really not considering the opinion of me, the person involved?"

The three of them looked at Rebecca.

Leon anticipated the crazy girl's plan, "You don't want to become wanted criminals with me and my master, do you?"

"Of course! Don't forget, we are a group of the old, weak, sick and disabled! Without me, you will only be left with the old, sick and disabled. How ugly it sounds."

After a pause, Rebecca added seriously, "Besides, isn't it standard for a team to have a beautiful girl?"

Leon raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "You...are a beautiful girl?"

"Beautiful, young, girl, why am I not a beautiful girl!"

To be honest, Rebecca's appearance does meet the public's standard of a beautiful girl.

Coupled with her distinctive personality, perfectly muscular legs, and iconic twin tails, she is enough to destroy some people's XP.

Unfortunately, her captain didn't buy it.

Of course, she also knew that stupid straight men were not interested in her style.

What I like is the beautiful and straight-haired lady~

But this doesn't mean that he can say that he is not a beautiful girl!

XP is subjective, beautiful girls are objective!

Leon did not continue to dance in Rebecca's minefield, but became serious.

"But it will be very dangerous to follow us. Have you really thought it through?"

"I've told you before, Captain, going against the Empire isn't the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing is to just sit there and wait for death in the patrol unit."

Rebecca said firmly, "It's a deal. Don't even think about getting rid of me."

In fact, Leon had thought that Rebecca would stay, but he didn't expect her to stay so determinedly.

Well, once the crazy girl has made her decision, even Leon can’t change it.

"That...captain." Martin said softly from the side.

Leon was startled, and quickly blurted out, "You kid, stay at home and don't get involved."⑻

It's not that he doesn't trust Ma Yu's ability, he just doesn't want to let another outstanding junior follow him to take risks.

Martin is different from Rebecca. Rebecca is an orphan and alone, while Martin is born in a minister's family. Although his future is not bright, at least he will have no problem with food and clothing.

Leon can't ruin Martin's life just because of himself.

"No, no, no, I won't cause any trouble for you, Captain."

Martin immediately explained, "I just thought that if I were at home, I could help you collect intelligence and information about the empire. Don't worry, I know my limits and I know how to get information."

Leon put his hands on his chest and frowned in thought.

Seeing that Leon did not respond, Martin added, "Captain, let me do my part as well."⑸

Seeing this, Rebecca also spoke up for Martin, "Yes, Captain, little Martin has been depressed since your accident. Now that you are back, his life finally has hope. You can't just pour cold water on his fighting spirit."

After thinking it over, it seemed that the only option was to agree to Martin's decision.

Leon sighed, "Okay, but you must collect information while ensuring your own safety, understand?"

Martin's eyes lit up, "Yes, Captain!"

Snap——n

Rebecca clapped her hands, "Great! Then we can change our group to 'Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled Housewives'!"

"I say again, I'm not a otaku!" Martin struggled in vain.

Rebecca made a face at him, "The otaku is anxious~ The otaku is anxious~"

But at this moment, Tiger, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up.

"Leon, you can't stay in the Empire."

Chapter 189: 191 Never Left (5k words!)

Hearing this, before Leon could ask anything, Rebecca blurted out,

"Why can't the captain stay in the Empire, Dad?"

"After Victor's death, the Empire will definitely intensify its efforts to hunt down Leon. Within three days, his wanted posters will be posted all over the streets of the Empire, and the intensity of the search will definitely be much stronger than when I was in the Empire myself."

Tiger analyzed slowly.

"If we continue to let him stay here, it will increase his risk. And most importantly, since we want to find out what kind of conspiracy is brewing between the Empire and the Dragon Clan, we can't just investigate within the Empire. Someone must go to the Dragon Kingdom to find the other half of the answer there."

"And this person must be trusted by the dragon clan and must know the dragon clan well."

Trusted by the Dragon Clan, understand the Dragon Clan...

Tiger and Rebecca looked at Leon at the same time.

Leon blinked, "I-I seem to be trusted by the dragons..."

"You've married Long and have a baby, but you still don't trust him?" Rebecca asked.

Martin was shocked. "Wait, wait, the captain married a dragon and had a child? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it? And aren't there reproductive isolation between humans and dragons?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this afternoon. Not only did the captain have three children with Long, but he also had three in his lifetime!" Rebecca raised three fingers.

"Three, three? Captain, this number will result in a fine in the Empire!"

Leon covered his face silently.

He really wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

He thought that he would only face this kind of social death torture when he was with Rossweisse.

Why don’t you let him go even though we’re in a long-distance relationship?

"Ahem... Since everyone is so optimistic about your popularity among the dragon clan, the important task of going deep behind enemy lines and collecting intelligence will be handed over to you, my beloved disciple." Tiger said seriously.

"Master, how do you know that everyone is optimistic about my popularity among the dragon clan? We haven't even discussed this point yet!"

"Okay, then let's vote. Those who agree that Leon should return to the Dragon Tribe to gather intelligence please breathe."
