Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 157 157:Leon And Irina[II]

"Huh!" Leon snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his fellow mate's words.

"Sorry, I need some time alone, "Leon, shrugging his shoulders, turned around and walked, leaving the three in surprise.

"Wait! What happened Leon? Are you injured or something?"

"Hey?"

"Guys, please give me some time.''

Leon ignored the screams from behind and just walked away trying to get far away from the suffocating place.

Sander was about to chase Leon but Ian and Vikram held him up.

"He doesn't seem well."Sander refuted

"I think it's something personal."Ian muttered and pointed at the woman.

Sander stopped his protest and looked at the figure chasing after Leon,"Huh?Why is Commander Irina chasing him?"

"Maybe it's a family matter."Vikram muttered nonchalantly but his eyes shone strangely.

........

He didn't know how long he walked but the cold breeze and vast night sky, which always soothed his aching lonely heart, didn't seem to work today.

The most troublesome part of life was when the memories of this Leon infused him, and he started to live here, it became increasingly hard to distinguish between himself and the other Leon.

Both of them in the end were the same and were different.

If it comes to revenge, it was easy for him to deal with this but he didn't know how to face and treat others Leon cared about or his family.

But at the end he wasn't the Leon that they knew..

TAP! TAP!TAP!

Leon halted his steps feeling the faint presence behind him.

"Leon!"

A soft voice filled with uncanny desperation echoed in the air making Leon's heart jolt.

Leon took a moment to calm his mind and looked back at the long black hair woman striking a significant resemblance with him.

"What?"

The woman shuddered, noticing that cold gaze. The coldness seeping from his eyes makes her flinch back a step.

Extending her hand, with teary eyes she murmured "Leon, it's me. Your mother."

Leon swallowed his saliva seeing her teary sullen eyes that showered him with mother's love.

"I don't know y..."Leon then paused for a moment realizing something.His current appearance was completely different from the previous one.

"How did you know I am your son? You may be mistaken?Go somewhere else?"

Irina shook her head resolutely, "Never...Even though my mind was messed with I can discern you. Your sharp nose bridge, the articulation of your brows, and the strands of hair falling covering a bit of eye, the style that you always like and shake the whole house if a barber touched those strands. I can never make a mistake. Moreover, I can see strands of hearts leading to you, Leon, my son...."

"I am not," Leon shouted with a heavy voice. He didn't know what random bullshit was this woman mumbling all of a sudden but he didn't want to entertain her.

"You are ... .You aren't good at lying to the people you are close with and brows tilt down when you lie to someone you love and respect."

Leon, gritted his teeth hearing this.

'Did this woman take a psychology course?'

Taking a deep breath, Leon decided to shred presence,"Don't forget that you are the one who abandoned me. Now, don't take the high ground and can you stop acting pitiful?''

"I know you blame me but…..I was poisoned and someone manipulated my memories, Leon. They tried to separate us. It's not my fault….."Irina's voice trailed off as she shook her head.

"No, it's my fault...It's because I am weak. I am so weak that I couldn't resist the change forced upon me. I was too weak to resist the influence of Yin Gu.I was so weak that I couldn't discern the truth and allowed someone to fabricate my memories and my mind."

Irina murmured, stepping forward with drops of tears trickling down from her face.Even if she tried to put a strong front, at this point the tears didn't stop coming.

Hearing this, Leon just stood there blankly unable to react. He just didn't know what to say and how to react.

It was one of the weirdest situations he might have faced where he didn't know just what to do.

The truth was, he had no right to react anyway cause it wasn't him who shared the feeling rather previous Leon.

Whether to forgive or reconcile, he wasn't the one who could make the decision.For him, this woman is nothing more than a complete stranger who just happens to cross the path.

And you can't just hate or like a stranger at first glance can one?

'Is this the effect of my halo countering the protagonist's halo but isn't the effect too drastic.This is way unrealistic.'

Moreover, there was something odd with Leon's previous memories.A part of it was missing or forgotten so all he knew was that this woman hated her.

He had suffered yet there was boundless love for her.

The only people the previous Leon truly hated was his father Lex, Seph, Elena and Ye Chen.

"Please leave.Lets not cross our path again."

Irina's whole body trembled and she stammered falling onto her knees.

"Forgive me, Leon..."

"PLEASEE....Forgive Mother for her insolent mistake. I swear I won't make a mistake like this."

"Just give me a chance to let everything return to normal."Irina jumped and extended her hand and held Leon's legs showing the sincerity of the apology.

An electrifying current spread throughout and a sudden influx of pain assaulted Leon's brain , making him dizzy and murmur subconsciously

'It's not the time.He will find out…He will find out if we stop the act now.'

'We can't break the plan.Its not time yet.'

A sudden whisper echoed from the depth of his soul making Leon tremble.

Goosebumps broke out on his damp skin making his back drenched in sweat.His vision became blurred and intense headache assaulted him.

"SHUT UP!"

"JUST SHUT UP!"

"You...You dare to say all those to me. You, just what the hell did you know? Do you know how I feel? Did you know how painful it was to see you walking holding hands with that son of bitch while ignoring your son? You did the same thing, you promised you wouldn't do it. You discarded me as if I am a piece of trash."

'What the fuck?'

Leon's expression distorted horribly as all the things were spoken on their own. He didn't mean anything he spoke as all of this was irrelevant to him.

It was as if Leon's lingering soul had taken over his body split second to influence his thoughts and spoke aloud.

"Leon, give me a chance. I will do anything to get your forgiveness. I will repent throughout my life. If you are angry, you can curse me to your heart's content."

Then she raised her hand to hold Leon's palms.

"If you are angry just hit me. Just let out your grievance instead of keeping everything in your heart."

Leon's blank eyes moved looking down at Irina.

"You say you can do everything to get my forgiveness."

Irina's eyes that had lost their luster began to shine again brightly as she looked up at Leon with hopeful eyes.

Leon's lips widened with a grin, as he stepped back from her grasp and waved his hand.

SWOOSH!

Something brushed past Irina's cheek and as she looked down, she found a dagger on the ground.

"Let's just see how much you mean when you spout all those bullshit with that innocent act."

"Kill yourself and I will forgive you."
