I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1051 - 968: Truths and Lies

The only opportunity... it does seem like that indeed.

After going over it again in his mind, Leon had to admit that he truly hadn’t come up with a way to solve this problem. The Source God Platform was too unique; no matter what he did, he couldn’t avoid it. Before him really seemed only this path.

After glancing again at the red-haired director, Leon didn’t open his mouth to persuade her further—after all, with the director’s personality, persuasion was useless. Even if she agreed with a smile, she would still do things her own way.

And the only way that could stop her at the moment...

Through the always-maintained [Soft Rice Badge], he glanced at the Serpent of Luminous Church and involuntarily bit his lip, his eyes unconsciously revealing... 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Leon."

"I’m just thinking."

Knowing he couldn’t hide his thoughts from the red-haired director, Leon involuntarily closed his eyes, then released his grip from Queen Aerial’s waist and silently interrupted the [Soft Rice Badge]’s effect.

Sigh...

Seeing Leon who actively gave up his final trump card, letting go of his suppression on Serpent Director, the red-haired director couldn’t help but let out a long breath. Then she gazed at Leon softly, saying:

"Thank you."

"..."

Thank me for what? For not interfering with your plan, watching you go to the Source God Platform to die?

"Thank you for respecting my choice."

"..."

Already used to the red-haired director’s occasional "mind reading technique," Leon didn’t continue to respond after his thoughts were seen through. Instead, he pulled up a chair and sat next to the red-haired director, then expressionlessly requested:

"I’m not stopping you, but you have to take me with your plan."

"Okay."

Knowing he was the kind of person who wouldn’t give up until the last moment and that he would certainly try a few more times, the red-haired director nodded in agreement and then seriously said:

"But you also have to promise me..."

"If I can’t find a better way than your plan, I won’t interfere with your plan... Is that okay?"

"Hmm!"

Seeing Leon make the promise, the red-haired director completely relaxed and then stretched lazily against the chair back, slightly exhausted, and remarked:

"It’s really not easy... You are much harder to deal with than I thought. Luckily, I stirred You Sui Sanctuary back then, caused a huge disaster, and exchanged for equal fortune. Otherwise, I would have stumbled over you this time."

Are you really speaking...

Recalling the sky-full "ash" back then, Leon couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, then voluntarily switched topics:

"What about Serpent Director? Does he know your plan?"

"He knows."

After smiling at Leon, the red-haired director answered:

"His initial plan was to stand with him, drain all the [Justice] bloodline, weaken Watcher’s Palace leading to Cleaner generation after generation decline, then attempt to reform the world with his ideas. But now..."

"So foolish."

Unable to resist interrupting the red-haired director, Leon frowned and said:

"Let’s not discuss if his concept is correct. His life is still in the hands of Slaughter King Association, and in the future if conflicts arise, he... Hmm..."

At this point, seeming to suddenly understand something, Leon voluntarily interrupted his evaluation, looking with surprise at the red-haired director beside him.

"It’s indeed as you think."

Nodding slightly, the red-haired director sighed a bit:

"That fool’s plan was to revive the citizens of East Carleighwen Kingdom, allow me to inherit the complete [Crimson Blood], letting me replace him to fulfill his dreams."

"..."

Then he himself gets killed by Slaughter King Association? So... Serpent Director wasn’t planning to live either?

After pondering Serpent Director’s plan, Leon couldn’t help but sigh.

"Forget it, consider my previous words unsaid..."

Serpent Director... Although he’s a bit foolish, he has the courage to die for his ideals. Such a person, even if foolish, is worthy of the bloodline of East Carleighwen Kingdom, indeed possessing the heroism corresponding to the powers flowing in his bloodline... even if he’s a bit foolish.

Gazing a bit higher at Serpent Director, Leon slightly shook his head and said:

"Although I don’t support his plan, I acknowledge that he’s not as... Hmm... I thought you two were mortal enemies before I came here, no wonder he could ’persuade’ you."

"Hmm."

Sniffing the wine scent emanating from Leon, the red-haired director nodded with twinkling eyes:

"When I first came here, I actually intended to kill him, until he insisted that only I could inherit [Crimson Blood] and complete his unfulfilled ideals after his death. I didn’t directly act but intended to show him your plans."

"Is that so..."

Fully understanding the cause and effect, Leon couldn’t help but nod along, then continued to ask:

"And now? What’s his plan now?"

"He hasn’t mentioned it yet."

With a slight wrinkle of her nose, the red-haired director took a stealthy deep whiff of the wine scent and laughed:

"Though he doesn’t admit it verbally, I can see through it, and You Sui Sanctuary’s balm won’t lie either.

After I pulled him out of You Sui Sanctuary, he was already persuaded by you, admitted to you from the heart, preparing to entrust his ideals on you, just still being stubborn."

"So... he’s now prepared to cooperate with you to complete your plan?"

"Yes."

After moving the chair closer to Leon, the red-haired director said:

"Since pulling Serpent Director out of You Sui Sanctuary, I’ve explained my plans to him. He seemed grim but didn’t oppose."

"..."

So... if your plan succeeds, not only will you die at the Source God Platform, but he will also be killed by Slaughter King Association when Watcher’s Palace is restored. This plan actually requires both your lives in exchange?

Realizing this, Leon couldn’t help but close his eyes, tilt his head back against the chair.

The primary reason East Carleighwen Kingdom fell seemed precisely because of them.

And now, the creator of Serpent Ophiuchus and director who destroyed East Carleighwen Kingdom are planning to sacrifice their lives to restore the Kingdom they destroyed, thinking about it this way... huh?

Feeling something amiss, Leon suddenly opened his eyes, discovering the red-haired director had somehow already snuggled close, her eyes never blinking while staring at his lips.

"You smell so good..."

"?!?!"

"Um... I mean, when you said you felt sorry for me and that you could wait, it was truly charming. It almost moved me, so..."

Taking a deep breath of Leon’s ethereal wine scent breaking through... breaking out, the red-haired director’s throat involuntarily moved, blinking her eyes with deep sentiment, saying:

"Could I have a sip?"
