“Freyja, fetch my medication,”
Having taken a few steps, Freyja swiftly turned around, her countenance etched
with concern.
“Mr. Leon, Mrs. Thomas has been experiencing a decline in health as of late,”
Freyja informed.
The subtext of her words urging Leon to avoid distressing Claudia further was
apparent.
Everyone seemed to expect Leon to consider the well-being of others, but few
truly considered his feelings.
“I no longer have the right to approach her. I've trampled on her dignity. Despite
my claims to protect her, I nearly caused her demise. I've effectively forfeited any
claim to be with her,” Leon confessed, his voice Laden with guilt.
A self-deprecating laugh escaped his Lips.

“Very well. You're free to go wherever you wish. I apologize, but I can't fulfill the
desires of all three of you. In order to safeguard the Thomas family, I've taken
Marcus’ side. It's my duty. Hopefully, your stay in Dgend brings you some
measure of solace.”
Claudia desired to inquire about the progress of the project upon Leon's return,
yet her disposition had been utterly unsettled by their previous encounter. The
fright she experienced was still vivid.
Dgend was a dangerous locale teeming with a mix of unsavory characters. The
atmosphere was perpetually suffused with an air of darkness and trepidation.
For the average person, venturing into its depths often meant walking a tightrope
between life and death. There, all manner of illicit transactions took place, where
anything could be bartered, including human organs. It was a veritable inferno on
Earth.
What remained unknown was that this perilous city was under Leon’s dominion,
and he reigned as its ultimate authority.
As Leon exited Claudia’s chamber, he encountered Marcus, who had also been
summoned by Claudia’s request.
The two locked eyes for a moment, then brushed past each other without uttering
a word. Marcus proceeded to Claudia“’s room.
“Grandma, what's the matter?” Marcus queried upon entering.
