Capítulo 74: London
After agreeing to Emilia's request Leo headed to bed, falling asleep quite quickly.
When he woke up the next day at 9:00 AM he planned on grabbing a quick breakfast from the mess halls, but he was quickly stopped by Emilia.
She insisted that they should get breakfast together in the city and Leo reluctantly agreed.
At 10:00 AM they left HQ and headed towards London taking a cab towards the outskirts of the city.
Emilia planned on starting the day on the outskirts and slowly making their way to the center.
Leo didn't object to this, since he simply didn't care.
Leo was wearing casual clothes for once, a simple white blouse and a pair of black trousers.
The blouse complimented his well-toned body, but this was just a pure accident.
Leo just chose some random clothes that he got from Noah a while ago, and this just so happened to be part of it.
Leo and Emilia entered a small rustic diner for some breakfast.
The diner was owned by an elderly couple, it had been passed down for generations and it was their turn to manage it.
Leo ordered some shepherd's pie meanwhile Emilia ordered baked eggs en cocotte.
After having breakfast Emilia and Leo got on the move again.
They visited a couple of shops together, but Leo did not find anything that he was particularly interested in.
They went to a clothing store together and Emilia chose an outfit for Leo, and Leo chose an outfit for Emilia.
Leo ended up choosing a black dress that had a leg split for Emilia, meanwhile Emilia chose a blazer for Leo.
When Leo put on the blazer he looked like a butler, and Emilia could not help but laugh.
Shortly after this, they got lunch at a food truck, giving them a chance to have a conversation.
"Say, Leo. Who was your client for your mission?" questioned Emilia.
Leo sighed and looked towards her.
"You do know that I am not allowed to inform anyone about my mission except MC&D, right?"
Emilia chuckled before responding.
"Of course I know, I just wanted to see if you would actually tell me."
She took a bite out of her sandwich before speaking again.
"You know, it's still quite impressive how quickly you ranked up, usually it would take about a year."
Leo looked quite sad before giving a response.
"Either way, it's all useless."
"Why is that?" questioned Emilia.
"You don't get jack shit for ascending to a higher rank, your share of earnings increases slightly meanwhile the danger increases exponentially. The only real damn benefit you get is respect from others, and that is about it. Right now I am comparable to a marionette for MC&D, I do their dirty work so they can get filthy rich meanwhile I get barely anything."
Emilia was simply listening to Leo venting his feelings, he barely ever opened up so this was a new experience for her.
They had not known each other for long, but Emilia felt kind of connected to Leo.
She was still surprised that he chose to save her when she was incapacitated during the ambush, she had a feeling that Leo was a man of few words and that he rather displayed how he felt through his actions.
After Leo and Emilia finished their sandwiches they got on the move again.
They were nearing the center of London, but they noticed that a small group of people had been following them.
They were wearing hoodies, so Leo could not get a clear look at their faces.
Leo and Emilia quickly entered a supermarket, but the group decided to stay outside.
They stayed in the supermarket for ten minutes before leaving again, and the group once again started following them again.
"Enter this alleyway, Emilia." whispered Leo.
Emilia nodded and they walked into the alley and upped their tempo.
The group quickly entered the alleyway as well and started upping their tempo as well.
After walking for a while Leo heard one of his stalkers speak.
"Don't move and drop all your money, lad."
Leo turned around with Emilia and saw the group pointing knives toward them.
Leo let out a sigh of relief because they were normal robbers, not some MTF members.
He first planned on following their orders simply because he didn't want to clean another mess, but Emilia had a different plan.
"We don't have any money, now fuck off." said Emilia with a cold expression on her face.
One of the robbers yelled back at Emilia.
"Shut the hell up you whore, we have been following you for a while and we know that you guys are loaded with cash!"
Leo saw Emilia's eye tick upon being called a whore, and he already knew what came next.
