You are all my wings!

Of course, there are risks involved in doing this, but he doesn't currently have any plans to make a move against Kekeqi, so he's still quite relaxed. It's not like he's really bringing his girlfriend to meet the others who came earlier.

So he quickly coughed lightly, interrupting Iris's probing:

“Iris, my sister has only been in the capital for a short time and is eager to learn about the situation inside and outside the capital. You are an outsider and have a different perspective, so why don’t you tell my sister more about it?”

"Alright, then I'll introduce her to Kekeqi."

Iris pouted, glared at Leon, and began to introduce the general situation of the capital to Kekeqi.

Maggie watched coldly; Iris was indeed too inexperienced.

Although this guy has made up his mind to make changes, he is still inexperienced and doesn't know how to achieve his goals.

Although he is a genius at spellcasting, his worldly experience is far inferior to his own!

So, should I make a move now?

No, since Iris has already failed, I should change my approach and try again later.

I might as well take this opportunity to enjoy the afterglow of Easter with Lyon!

So Maggie quietly approached Lyon and began to intimately put her arm around his shoulder and link arms with him. Iris, who was watching from the side, was furious. It turned out that Maggie had lured her away from the situation! She had to get revenge later!

Hamra, watching the various little actions of the group, smiled faintly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Youth is wonderful. I wonder when I can be young again, and be this crazy once more.

The thought flashed through her mind, but she suppressed it again.

Don't overthink it.

……

As night fell and the Easter activities came to an end, the streets were filled with people heading home.

Many renowned adventurers, meanwhile, began the second half of the party at various taverns, enjoying a hearty drink.

"Shall we go back?"

Lyon suggested.

He was exhausted after dealing with multiple opponents all day and wanted to go back and get some sleep.

Iris quickly gave Leon a wink and whispered, "Don't forget to come to my room later."

Lyon then realized that this was the first time Iris had taken the initiative to invite him to her room.

It seems she wants to take the initiative to break through?

Just as I was about to agree—

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Stay with me! I've been under so much pressure lately! I need to let loose, I need to have some fun!"

After having a few drinks while shopping, Kekeqi, looking quite drunk, clung tightly to Leon's arm, refusing to let go.

Iris's eyes turned dangerous.

Chapter 281 Kekeqi: Damn it! Why do I like to cling to him?

"Little Kekeqi, don't disturb your brother, go back to sleep."

Iris smiled and reached out to pry open the hand that was holding Leon's.

"No! I want to indulge myself!"

Kekeqi burped, coiling around Leon like a snake.

She's a warrior-like character, how could Iris possibly sway her?

"Kekeqi, let me take you home first."

Leon gave Iris a wink.

Iris understood, thinking that Kekeqi was already drunk and shouldn't cause any trouble.

"Alright, you all go first, Mother, let's go back."

Maggie vaguely sensed something strange between Leon and Iris, but because she had successfully monopolized Leon before and was now quite pleased with herself, she overlooked some details and left with Iris.

As she retreated, she brushed past Leon and whispered:

"My dear and respectable master, please solve my housing problem quickly! I want to live with you too! It's so boring being with Iris! Besides, you promised to fund an alchemy laboratory for me!"

"Don't worry, Maggie, it'll be arranged right away!"

Lyon gave a perfunctory reply, saying that he would most likely be going to the Elven Holy Land in three months, and that he would buy a house after he returned.

However, the alchemy lab is definitely worth starting, especially since we made a lot of money during this monster tide.

Moreover, if I were to buy a house now, I definitely couldn't buy a small one, because with so many rooms, it would be difficult to manage my time.

"Hmph, I remember."

"Magical, what are you dawdling for? I'm not waiting for you!"

When Iris saw that Maggie was seizing the opportunity to get close to Leon again, she quickly ran over and grabbed Maggie.

"Okay, okay, stop pulling me, I can walk by myself!"

……

Kekeqi was completely drunk.

Lyon was speechless. Was this guy really that bad at drinking?

It's at least three times the agility of a fifth-tier rank, and even if the stamina isn't at twice the limit, it's still more than twice as strong, right?

Or is she the same type as M'shifisu, with all her attributes focused on agility?

It could also be a matter of her constitution; she's not good at drinking. This girl doesn't seem to be faking it, after all, she doesn't have that kind of acting skill.

After parting ways with the three women, Leon activated Shadow Step.

In a few flashes, they quickly returned to Colt Street in the South District.

As Leon approached his front door, about to put down the Cocoyter skin that was clinging to him like an octopus—

She suddenly opened her eyes!

A pair of beautiful, black pearl-like eyes darted around and met Leon's gaze. Her expression carried a hint of confidence and arrogance.

"Hehe, I think my acting was pretty good, brother?"

Lyon was somewhat surprised. Was this guy really acting?

No, if she were really acting, she should have realized it long ago. She was probably slightly tipsy and then used that feeling to continue acting.

In other words, she is not without acting skills, but she needs certain special conditions to bring them to the fore.

This guy isn't really stupid or idiotic; he can occasionally show some intelligence.

"You've got a good idea; you know how to fake getting drunk to avoid being questioned by Iris."

Lyon praised her.

"Alright, you can put me down now, brother. I'm a young woman, don't take advantage of me."

"Uh, wasn't it you who made a lewd move on me?"

Kekeqi blushed and jumped down from under Leon.

"I forgot."

Leon patted Kekeqi's head:

"Alright, go to sleep early. I have a general idea of ​​what the future holds. I will now perform a divination to determine a better plan for salvation. Until then, you should stay in the house and train. I will call you if there are any arrangements, understand?"

"I understand, brother."

Kekeqi nodded and pushed open the door to enter the room.

Click.

After locking the door and chain, she let out a long breath and slowly sat down against the door.

pat.

Her body completely relaxed, and she sat there without any regard for her image, kicking off her lace-trimmed lady's shoes. A pair of slender, fair legs emerged from under her light skirt, and her round, pink heels rested on the sheepskin rug by the door, relaxed and open.

"Phew, I've finally escaped the clutches of that womanizer for now. Hmph, he'll never guess that I've already awakened! Brother and sister? I was just calling them that because it was convenient! You were fooled by me, so it seems you're not all that great after all!"

She sneered inwardly. Admittedly, she was initially completely fooled and confused, to the point that she exposed her underwear to Leon Belon and called him "brother" many times in a very humiliating way. But after meeting Iris and the others, she gradually calmed down!

Yes, he's a womanizer. Even if the future isn't ruined because of him, I can't just assume I can unconditionally trust this despicable guy!

My sister used to teach me that I should never reveal my secrets to strangers!

You can't just trust someone who's good at talking!

In particular, the more charming a man is, the less you should trust him!

This is only a temporary collaboration, and I still need to have my own backup plans in place!

When I hugged Leon just now, it was merely a small act of self-sacrifice to lower his guard against me!

Of course, it's undeniable that there's a strange kind of joy in having Leon Berlón, that awful older brother, by my side.

Not only that, but it felt so good to be able to act cute and affectionate with him without any restraint...

wrong!

Something's wrong with me!

"Ugh! Why do I always want to stick with this womanizer? Do I like him? My sister often says, 'She says one thing but does another,' could that be me? No, no, that's impossible."

Kekeqi firmly rejected the idea.

This is terrifying. She doesn't even dare to think about it. If she thinks a little deeper, will she also fall into the clutches of this philandering man like the respected Miss Iris and Miss Terena?

Suddenly, she saw her face on the mirror hanging opposite the main entrance, and it was terribly red.

thump!

She couldn't help but bang her head against the floor dozens of times.

"Kekeqi, calm down! Starting tomorrow, you can't be so clingy to him anymore! Tomorrow I'm going to beat him up badly, whip him, strip him naked, and show him my strength!"

She kept chanting this in her mind as she kowtowed frantically.

Her movements were so bizarre and her sounds so frequent that the landlord, who was lying downstairs drinking tea, suddenly understood something and smiled knowingly.

"These young people nowadays..."

……

After sending Kekeqi home, Leon couldn't wait to head to Grani's mansion.

He learned some future intelligence from Kekeqi, knowing that the war of annihilation would break out ahead of schedule, and he felt an urgent need to improve his skills quickly.

As for the expectation of going even further with Iris, it must be admitted that it is indeed very high.

But, does she really mean that tonight?

She finally figured out a way to get her mother to cooperate.

With this strange feeling in his heart, Leon flashed past.

Grani's mansion is not far from Iris's mansion, less than a kilometer apart. However, since Hamra needs someone to take care of her, the group has been staying at Grani's mansion for the time being. In any case, the house is big enough and the courtyard is large enough for daily exercise.

"Does Iris's plan involve the two of us going to her mansion?"

Soon, a shadow crept up into Iris's room and then leaped up.

"Leon, is that you?"

"Correct."

Chapter 282 Lyon, Take Me

Iris rushed toward Lyon, cupping his face in her hands through his silver hair.
