Chapter 96: Sly Bastard
"Figures..." Leah had already had this feeling for a long time. It was just that she was so focused on self-blame.
"There is one thing though, it is also true that you insisted on going with him even when he told you not to, so you cannot blame him completely..." Anna said with an amused tone.
"I know, I know..."
"I am also a little amazed, you know..." Anna smiled slightly in amusement.
"About what?" Leah raised her eyebrows.
"The fact that he definitely could have pushed a little harder, even used a little force, and you might have given in... but he didn’t do it..."
Leah trembled slightly, remembering her state at that time. She felt that it was totally possible...
"Not to mention he made it known openly that he wanted you badly... quite a sly bastard, yet reserved enough to be called a saint in this lawless world..." Anna shook her head as even she couldn’t make sense of it.
She understood how dangerous the situation for Leah was. This world is lawless, and even if Lin Feng had raped Leah and killed her to hide the truth, no one would have questioned him.
His value was immense to the camp, and that would have been enough to make others forget anything...
To be able to hold himself back while having Leah on his lap was just commendable. She felt very intrigued.
The image she had of him when she was sitting beside him in the car was quite normal. He didn’t seem to be trying to take advantage of her, but he went ahead and mentioned to Leah that he would love having her if she was available...
As Anna was thinking that, Lukas’ image flashed in her mind. He might not be the most handsome man she had seen, but he looked quite pleasing, not to mention his strength...
Anna shook her head while smiling slightly at her own thoughts and looked at Leah, "Good thing you are safe and sound. Forget about being guilty, it wasn’t your fault... well technically no one’s fault because he had protected your life, so he had the right to take advantage of you... as he had said, he was a healthy teenager after all..."
Leah closed her eyes and gave a nod before speaking what was really on her mind, "What should I do now..."
Anna understood what Leah was contemplating about, the skill orb. It was a very lucrative offer.
Hearing everything, Anna had a feeling that Leah wouldn’t be able to succeed in getting the skill by herself. Forget about rarity, it was absolutely dangerous... even a small mistake could cost her life.
"Leah, as your best friend I wouldn’t want you to risk your life for something which isn’t even guaranteed..."
Leah looked at Anna after hearing that, "That is the only option left for me... or should I just keep waiting forever?"
Anna shook her head, "I didn’t mean that..."
Leah frowned before her eyes widened, "Don’t tell me..."
There was only one other possibility...
Anna sighed, "Look, I don’t like you taking this route too, but if it saves your life then I will suggest it to you nonetheless..."
Leah trembled just thinking about it. She couldn’t imagine herself in someone else’s arms other than Leon... it gave her a gut-wrenching feeling.
Anna could see through Leah’s conflict, "How about this, let’s talk to Lukas again. Maybe we can come up with another alternative? In the end, he didn’t specifically tell you to sleep with him in the first place. It was just your assumption."
Although she said that, Anna herself didn’t believe that Lukas was going to let this golden opportunity go...
Who wouldn’t want to sleep with Leah? Not to mention with all that happened in the forest, he would desire her even more... he himself had expressed it.
She even felt that if she offered herself in place of Leah, then he wouldn’t agree...
Beauty and desire go hand in hand, and if she was as beautiful as Leah, Lukas was already desiring Leah more...
Leah thought for a moment before giving a slight nod, "We will try to talk to him tomorrow... although I think that my assumption is going to come true."
She had felt how much Lukas wanted her, so it was obvious she knew he would ask for it...
Anna gave her a reassuring smile, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine..."
"I hope so..." Leah nodded.
Anna finally saw Leah relax a bit and decided to talk more as she lay down beside her, "You know what, this Lukas is getting more and more mysterious. If you think deeply, then he not only has one of the rarest affinities, the Light Affinity, but also a rare skill of that said affinity...
He beat General Victor, who was almost unbeatable, quite easily, and I even felt that he was somehow holding back.
He also has that bow which definitely isn’t below Rare Tier, and now he also has a spare Uncommon Lightning Skill Orb... Is he really lucky, or does he know something that others don’t?"
Leah went into deep thought and spoke, "He does have more knowledge than us, that’s for sure..." She hadn’t mentioned Lukas’ bow to Anna as she had promised him, or else Anna would have been even more amazed...
"It feels a little hilarious if we think about how we met him. Damn, that sly bastard even acted like he didn’t know about Dead Walkers and was a newbie in the world of Evolvers..." Anna chuckled slightly.
Leah felt something and decided to say it directly, "Poor Nathan..."
"Hm?" Anna raised her eyebrows before squinting them, "What are you implying, you little minx..."
"Tch, come on. You never talk about a man—or I would say a boy in Lukas’ case—like that..." Leah snorted slightly.
"So what if he is mysterious? That won’t change anything. Why even bring Nathan here? It wasn’t like I was into him. Seriously, why do you always try to matchmake us?" Anna was a little annoyed just thinking about it.
