The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Be my subordinate

Iris, sure. Behind the mask and the hood was Iris. The perpetrator of the mayor's assault was really Iris as Leo said.

Clearly, Iris immediately turned her head back, noticing the source of the voice so sharp that it made her body reflexively instantly move actively to jump.

But who would have thought, Leo had already swung his sword forward, making the mask of Iris leaping backwards split apart. Not only that, Iris's face was also slantedly scratched to let out fresh blood flowing.

If he did not jump in time, it was certain that Iris' head would be split. Such a state obviously made his heart beat very fast. 

He thought, Leo is not someone he can fight. Even though his level was far below his, Leo could still anticipate. It turns out that it is true, that the level is not the determinant of everything, but an experience.

Iris's face was quite surprised. His body creeps while opening his hood. Show her blue hair and prove that she really is Iris.

"W-how did you know Iris? Since the beginning you have also called me miss?" 

"It was easy, the Quest was only used as a diversion for adventurers. And the only one who can make the Quest is you, right? When you leave on the pretext of chasing criminals, you are actually preparing to cover your identity, then you will attack the mayor in one attack. After that, you will leave. But unfortunately it wasn't according to plan." Leo said with a very cynical look.

Iris' father is a Viscount, while Iris's own target is the Count. That means, Iris ignored this because there was a political element that was done. Like, the Viscount who wants to snatch the Count's seat maybe?

But Iris lowered her head, she did not expect that what she was doing had completely failed.

"I'm sorry, I was only ordered by my father. Like I was just used as a puppet. Leo, please stay away from me, I'm really very mean to you. Frankly, I did it all like taking dinner, and paying attention to you to be interested in me. Then, I can make you my puppet." Iris said with regret.

He also took off a ring he was wearing. Making his level drop suddenly and making him vomit blood once again. 

The artifact he used seemed to make one's level rise instantly. But it's only temporary. Moreover, it was only used disposable, because after Iris plucked it, the artifact was destroyed.

Leo raised his eyebrows while putting his sword back into the shell that was on his back. Then, he sighed as he said, "Don't think I'm attracted to you in such a cheap way. Moreover, you say that you are like a puppet used by your parents for political purposes. What exactly are you feeling?"

Iris looked dazed, then she replied. "Hateful, but can't resist. They are strong, full of supporters after the propaganda is given." 

"I'll give you strength, an evolution. Evolutionary abilities on the physical, an evolution on new magic attributes. Provided, you will slaughter your own family. Is it acceptable? In a sense, be my slave."

"I'll keep everything a secret about who hurt Galen. Everyone, after this I have to report to the guild master right? If you follow me, you'll be safe." Said Leo with a sharp look.

Iris was shocked, her face filled with widening questions. "Evolution after I became your slave. Don't tell me you ….."

"No! I'm not a Pureblood, but I seem to have Pureblood abilities. Hows it? I gave you 3 minutes. If I refuse, I don't take any chances either." Leo drew his sword slowly.

"I understand, I've given my whole life to you sir. And I will fulfill your request and perhaps my request is to kill the whole Cavendish family." Iris bent her knees and lowered her head. It seems that there has not been three minutes, Iris herself has already made her choice.

However, he was tempted by what Leo said. He was tempted by the evolution of attributes he had after becoming a Leo slave. In a sense, Leo is a pureblood, only, Leo does not know it at all. That's according to Iris.

"Good, now stand up. You're heavily injured, miss, I mean Iris." 

Iris smiled, then she threw away her cloak to show that she was not the one who harmed Iris. In addition, she moves towards Leo feeling very guilty and taking away her smile. 

"I'm sorry for that again."

A few minutes later, Melina came along. His body still looked healthy even though he was in a fight in the group brought by Iris. Moreover, he was quite surprised upon seeing Iris heavily injured. Which means the person who wanted to kill the mayor was Iris. 

Leo saw it, he felt very lucky. "Melina, what a coincidence. Please help heal him now.”

“But sir.” Cut Melina. “He just ...”

“Just do it, I have other plans.” Cut back Leo.

“Good sir.”

With pleasure, Melina took out a bottle of potion that might be the size of the entire length of the wrist to the fingertips. He then gave the healing potion to Iris who was filled with wounds.

Not only was the physical injury visible from the outside, Leo was convinced that Iris must have had an internal wound. Like his internal organs were destroyed or maybe something else. Especially visible from the mouth of Iris who continues to drain fresh blood.

Iris happily immediately received the potion. Although he was quite doubtful, did this potion indeed come from the lily of the sun just as Leo had said earlier? Only, he had already tried to leave everything to Leo, surrender himself, and his soul to Leo completely.

Perlahan, Iris meneguk potion tersebut. Dan mengusap noda potion yang ada di ujung bibirnya. Rasanya memang sedikit pahit, tetapi entah kenapa, setelah dia meminum potion tersebut, sebuah keajaiban yang tidak menyangka benar-benar terjadi.

The wounds all over Iris' body suddenly disappeared. There were no more scratches or incisions on his body. Like the wounds on the face from Leo's sword, as well as the internal organ wounds Iris had, everything went back to how it was. Clearly, it made Iris herself completely sparkling and incredulous about what had happened just now.

Granted he knew some healing potions, but in his life, he had never seen a healing potion heal instantly like this. He thought that healing potions would heal wounds slowly.

“This, this is really a concoction of sun lily flowers?” Iris's eyes glazed over. Then, he immediately bent his knees before Leo once again. “Thanks mr.”

“Magic seal bondage.”

A magic circle is created in front of Leo. As usual, he touched the side of the magic circle until it changed color. Then, Iris stood up and touched her other side.

“Eh, akh! Manaku drained out.” Leo sat up and said it himself. He slightly did not expect that making a life contract or a slave agreement with Iris was really depleting his mana.
