My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"You're not dead yet, Leon Kruger—no, the fated one."

Startled by a sudden voice echoing behind him, Leon instinctively turned around, only to find a stunningly beautiful woman standing there.

Upon catching sight of the woman, Leon's demeanor shifted to alertness, his expression turning cold as he frowned.

"Who are you?" he asked, his tone cautious as he scanned her from head to toe.

This woman possessed an extraordinarily beautiful and charming face, accentuated by moles beneath her left eyelid, which exuded a flirtatious and seductive aura capable of mesmerizing any man who beheld her.

She wore a loose black-night-colored gown that failed to conceal her exquisite, plump, and voluptuous curves.

Moreover, her dark purple hair cascaded down to her buttocks, and her sapphire purple pupils gave her the appearance of an exquisitely beautiful night goddess incarnate.

Based on his years of experience, Leon concluded that the woman's beautiful face possessed an ability that rivaled the beauty of Liliana, Arshley, and Athena Hellness, the Dragon Empress of the Dragon Empire—women whom he considered the most beautiful he had ever encountered.

However, Leon, not one to be easily swayed by a stunningly beautiful woman, remained unfazed by her extraordinary charms.

After a minute passed, Leon observed the woman's lack of response to his question, instead meeting his gaze with a gentle expression and a smile on her lips, which slightly irked him.

"I'll ask once more," he stated, his tone cold and indifferent. "Who are you, and are you responsible for bringing me to this place?"

Upon hearing Leon's words, shock flashed across the beautiful woman's face, and she gazed at him in astonishment.

"How do you know that I brought you to this place?" she inquired, her tone tinged with curiosity and a hint of excitement.

Leon responded with a sarcastic smile, folding his arms as he replied in a light tone, "Of course, I knew. It's just you and me here; who else could possibly have done such a thing?"

Having read numerous fantasy novels in his previous life, Leon was well-acquainted with this sort of routine, yet he remained clueless about this woman's identity and the reason behind her summoning him to this peculiar place.

Was she harboring malicious intentions towards him, or was it the other way around?

Unable to comprehend the situation, Leon resolved to maintain his vigilance.

Upon hearing Leon's response, the woman's smile grew slightly, and as she noticed his vigilance, the beautiful smile on her lips blossomed even wider.

"Well, you guessed it right. But there is no need to be so wary; I have no intention of harming you, you know," the beautiful woman said softly, playfully winking her right eye.

Listening to her words, Leon narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the woman once more, searching for any signs of malice or intent to harm him.

As a hero, he possessed the unique ability to discern whether someone harbored malicious intent toward him.

After a while, he sensed no signs of such intent, confirming the woman's words, which brought him a sense of relief.

Nevertheless, this didn't signify that he would drop his guard entirely, but it did allow him to relax a bit.

"Alright, I'll trust you, but could I know who you are and why you summoned me here? Additionally, was I already deceased when you brought me here?" Leon quickly expressed the myriad questions swirling in his mind.

Upon hearing Leon's sudden series of questions, the beautiful woman giggled slightly and regarded him with great tenderness.

"Are you so worried that you've already died?" she asked in a soft, slightly teasing tone.

Leon rolled his eyes in annoyance and responded with a hint of anger, "How could I not be worried that I'm dead?"

If he were dead, how could he possibly exact vengeance upon Velix and his cohorts, who had conspired against him, causing him to be exposed to the devouring poison that sealed his hero's power?

He couldn't simply let go of this grudge, especially after recently regaining his power as a sword hero.

Additionally, if he died, what would happen to Liliana and her three daughters in the future?

Wouldn't they be devastated by his death?

Of course, there were numerous concerns weighing on Leon if he were to die—not meeting Arshley and other cherished individuals—thereby rendering him unwilling and unable to accept his demise.

Observing Leon's upset and gloomy expression, the beautiful woman sensed the anxiety within him.

With a serene and gentle smile still gracing her lips, she shook her head reassuringly and stated casually, "Don't worry, you're not dead. I can assure you of that."

Upon hearing her words, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though all his worries had been swept away by the wind.

If he wasn't dead, then none of his concerns could have happened.

With his expression now calm and relaxed once again, Leon gazed at her curiously and asked, "So, could you please tell me who you are and why you've summoned me here?"

Leon, feeling as though he had never encountered this woman before, was filled with curiosity.

After hearing Leon's question, the beautiful woman blinked a few times and responded with a faint smile on her lips, "Forgive me for forgetting to introduce myself to you, the fated one."

Bowing her head slightly, she introduced herself in a soft and gracefully modulated tone, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Miranda, the one who has awaited your arrival for quite some time."

Leon's expression froze slightly upon hearing her introduction, and he regarded her with a perplexed gaze.

"Miranda? Isn't that one of the moons up there?" Leon asked, surprise etched on his face.

"Well, the moon's name, Miranda, actually stems from mine." Miranda chuckled softly, casting Leon a charming glance.

"The Miranda moon's named after you? Seriously?" Leon inquired once more, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

If the moon's name is derived from her own, wouldn't that suggest she's quite old?

Sensing the implications in Leon's question, Miranda narrowed her eyes, and her previously calm and graceful aura instantly turned cold and tense.

"Do you think that I'm old?" she asked, her smile cold enough to send chills down Leon's spine.

"Ehem! Who would think that? You might have misunderstood," Leon said hastily, waving his hand and changing the subject. "By the way, what do you mean you're the one who's been waiting for me for a long time?"

Observing Leon change the subject, Miranda puffed out her cheeks in annoyance and snorted coldly.

"It's a long story, and I'll explain everything. Let's take a seat first," Miranda said in a sullen tone as she walked towards the bench in the center of the garden.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Miranda wasn't angry.

'Women truly have terrifying mind-reading abilities!' Leon muttered to himself with a slight chuckle.

With a slight shake of his head, Leon followed Miranda to the garden benches.
