Chapter 390: - He really does have guts



The meeting place for Leon and Marlene that night was the VIP Lounge located on the mid- level floor of the hotel. Yes, it was the same hotel where Leon was staying. He made his way to the lift, taking it up to the VIP lounge.

As soon as he entered, soft music greeted him-it was already 9 p.m. He scanned the room, noticing a few people scattered about. But where was Marlene?

He glanced to one side and saw a woman waving in his direction.

It was a woman in her early twenties, with straight black hair and a casual indoor outfit. Even though her hair was different, Leon could still recognize her-it was the same face Marlene had in the game.

Leon walked over, and the woman stood up, smiling at him-a bit more warmly than she ever had in the game.

"Hi..." she greeted.

"Hi."

"Olivia," she introduced herself. "My name is Olivia."

"Leon."

Without hesitation, she leaned in and brushed her cheek against his in a casual greeting, surprising him.

"Nice to meet you," she said, stepping back with that same smile.

As she stepped back, Olivia gestured to the seat across from her. Leon sat down, still trying to process the sudden change in atmosphere.

They exchanged glances for a moment, the calm music filling the air in the VIP lounge, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

"That... surprised me," Leon said. "You actually showed up tonight."

She shrugged lightly and smiled. "Well, I felt like I had to do this... our battle failed, and... I think we need to put in some extra effort to get through it, don't you?"

Leon nodded. "Agree."

"So..." she continued. "I'll be staying at this hotel for a few days, maybe... and..." she paused, looking a bit hesitant. "You're staying here too, right, Leon?"

Leon hesitated for a moment before answering. "Uh... yeah, I'm staying here too."

"You're a Divine Champion, so it makes sense you'd get these perks. I've got the same benefits," she said, giggling softly.

Leon sighed at her remark. "You really enjoy knowing that I'm a Divine Champion, huh?"

"Yes... that's exactly why I wanted to meet you in person. You've been really tough on me, you know..."

Leon chuckled. "Sorry... I guess I went a bit overboard."

"Yes, you did," she replied with a playful smile.

"But you were on the opposite side from me in the game. That was just my defense mechanism," Leon explained.

"I can understand that."

"And, I think you're too smart... I could never quite figure out what you were planning, so it's not my fault, Olivia."

She chuckled. "I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. But thanks." Olivia laughed softly. "And it's so strange hearing you say my name directly like that. But, well, I'm glad this meeting happened."

"Hi, is there something I can help you with?" the singer on stage asked, noticing him

approach.

"Uh, can I sing for a bit?" Leon asked, glancing over at Olivia. "I need to say something to my

friend."

"Of course! What song would you like to sing?"

"I'm not sure, but there's a song I know pretty well," he replied and then told them the title. The crew nodded in approval.

Leon settled onto a tall stool, holding the mic in his hand. It was clear that no one was paying much attention to him—everyone in the lounge seemed busy with their own conversations and drinks, absorbed in their own worlds.

"Good evening, everyone..." Leon began, his voice wavering with a hint of hesitation. He

quickly pushed the doubt aside.

"Damn, am I really this reckless?" he thought, surprised at himself for doing something so bold without fully thinking it through.

"I want to say thanks to my friend, over there," he continued, pointing at Olivia. She looked shocked, covering her mouth with her hand.

A few people in the lounge finally glanced toward the stage, intrigued by the sudden

announcement.

"She said my 'thank you' wasn't convincing enough, so I'm doing this. Hopefully, our first meeting tonight will lead to a better friendship."

"Let me sing a song since I've already grabbed your attention. I'm not a professional, so feel free to boo me off the stage if my voice is that bad," he added, grinning as some of the crew

chuckled, joined by a few amused guests.

"Leon..." Olivia whispered in disbelief. "He's actually doing it," she giggled softly.

The music began, and Leon closed his eyes, letting himself sink into the emotions of the song.

It was a 15-year-old track, one he used to listen to during his senior high school days. He knew the song well, having sung it almost every day back then.

Though it was a romantic song, Leon had never really tried to understand its deeper meaning

--he just liked the vibe. Back then, the song was popular, often covered and sung by many.

As he started singing, the attention of more people in the lounge gradually shifted toward the

stage.

"Not bad," someone murmured.

"Yeah, I was almost annoyed that my night was interrupted," another remarked.

"It's not perfect, but it's not bad either."

The night continued, and Leon made it through the song, finishing with a relieved sigh.

Olivia smiled, watching the whole thing unfold. "He really does have guts," she said softly, giggling at how far Leon had gone to prove his point.
