The weather in Dilrik was beautiful that afternoon.
Bright skies, cool wind, and children laughing somewhere in the distance.
A perfect day for a leisure walk.
Leon strolled through the enormous city park with both hands tucked lazily into the pockets of his coat, looking entirely relaxed, like a man with not a single concern in the world. The sunlight filtered through the tall trees above him, scattering broken shadows across the path beneath his feet. Around him, people jogged, couples walked hand in hand, and elderly men played chess beneath shaded trees.
No one looking at him would ever guess that he was currently orchestrating another destruction.
Raj walked half a step behind him, tablet in hand, reading updates in a low voice.
And hidden in the corners of the park, blending into crowds, seated casually on benches, pretending to read newspapers or feed birds.
Leon's guards watched silently from the shadows.
Guarding him.
