Chapter 96 – Finishing Up

Morning arrived pretty quickly. Leo stayed up all night and finished his task.

Astrid had woken up and found him waiting for her.

"Morning, leader." She greeted, her voice a bit sleepy.

"Good morning."

Leo nodded, greeting her back.

"Are you ready to return to Chengdu?"

Hearing him saying that, she smiled wryly and her eyes squirmed around as if she didn't want to hear what he had to say next.

Still, she nodded and didn't refuse.

"Yes, I'm ready. Umm... please be gentle on the way back."

"Hahaha, I will try."

With that, the two mercenaries packed up and said goodbye to the villagers. They received many thanks and good wishes as well as many vegetables and fruits.

These gifts were mostly for Astrid, but Leo kept it for now as he was the one having Mock Reo instead of mock Roby.

Even the village chief had come to see them off, and Leo thanked him for his cooperation.
