The Mech Lord

[You have levelled up..] Arthur's voice rang in Leo's mind.

"Finally.." Leo clenched his fist as he looked at his stats.

Branch Skill: [Burst], [Scan], [Enhance], [Virtual Projection] , [Update]

Race: [Glorian]

"That's not bad-nya." Aiden muttered as he stopped his practice and turned around to look at Leo.

"This thing has contributed the most to it." Leo raised his black arm. To be honest, this thing had sent his strength stats shooting through the roof. If not, he might not have levelled up this quickly.

"It's good honestly, you will be able to accumulate more stats than normal people this way when you hit level 10-nya." Aiden replied. "And, if you are able to break through to the next colour barrier in that accumulated state, you will have denser and stronger energy then other people at your level."

"True.." Leo nodded as well.

"Do you think I can take that guy on now?" He looked at Aiden with a curious look on his face.

"Well, if he is at Lv 10, then it will be a piece of cake for you as long as you activate [Enhancement]. He would be nothing but a sitting duck for you." Aiden shook his little head. "You don't realize but you are not the weakest person anymore. A bit more, and you will surprise me at my prime."

Aiden sighed looking a bit depressed. He had spent so much time getting to his peak. Yet this fellow was just running through levels as if it was nothing.

"Why are you getting depressed? Isn't it better if I level up faster? We can find out what happened to us and then solve all of this." Leo patted the little guy's head.

"Nya!!" Aiden immediately swiped it's little paw and smacked Leo's hands away before retreating in fear. "Don't pat or rub me-nya!!"

"My bad.." Leo apologized.

This guy was a cat after all. His instincts would somehow take over and he would totally forget everything if someone rubbed his belly. But, when Aiden would come back to his senses, it certainly would be too much for him to accept that fact as a human.

"Hmmn?" A message suddenly popped up on Leo's smart link.

"Who is it-nya?" Aiden asked, seeing the frown on Leo's face.

Leo looked at Aiden and sighed. "It's Christina."

"Why is she contacting you? Don't tell me you really are hitting on her-nya."

"She already has a boyfriend." Leo calmly replied as he went towards cupboard to grab a pair of clothes.

"Then what is it-nya?" Aiden further asked as he raised his head and looked at Leo.

"It's her mom. She is asking her to go out and have fun with me. Since she had been training all time," Leo replied with a tired look on his face.

"Hmmn… well it's better to act now. If your lies are caught, then it might lead to trouble-nya."

"Your lie?" Leo looked at the little guy in disbelief. Wasn't this the person who forced him to lie? And, now he had the balls to say if it had nothing to do with him?

"Don't pay attention to tiny details. Just go out and have fun-nya." Aiden calmly waved his paws asking him to leave.

"You are not coming?"

"What would I do between couples-nya?" Aiden shook his little head.

"Should I pull that chip out of you?" Leo asked with a glare.

"I am joking. Don't take it seriously. I just wanna perfect the Kitty Martial Arts that I have been working on. So, I don't have time-nya." The little guy shook his head.

"Why don't you call her here? It would be less troublesome." He further suggested looking at Leo.

"That won't do. I don't want the family to form any kind of attachment to her. It would be troublesome later on." Leo shook his head. He wanted to avoid troubles. After all, this was just an act which had to come to an end sooner or later.

"Well, that certainly is true-nya."

Leo soon got prepared and went out to meet her.

…....

Lover's Drinks, Capital.

"Is this the place?" Leo looked at the signboard at the cafe as his face twitched a bit.

This was clearly a cafe for couples.

'Why would she want to meet at a place like this?' He muttered inwardly with a frown before walking inside the place.

He waited for a couple minutes, but there was no sign of Christina anywhere.

That was odd.

She had called him here, and had not arrived for some reason.

"Hey Mister.."

Leo felt a tug on his clothes.

He turned his head around, and saw a little girl standing there looking at him. She seemed to be around 8 to 10 years old.

"Yes?" He asked her with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Are you Aiden Silver?" She asked, looking at him, and this certainly took Leo by surprise. He didn't think he was that famous.

"Yes..that's me.." He nodded with an odd look on his face.

As soon as the girl heard that, she walked up to the front and then took a seat opposite to Leo.

"Umn…" Leo looked at her with an amused look on his face.

"I am Clair Wolfez. Nice to meet you." She introduced herself.

'Wolfez?' Leo's brows scrunched a bit. Now that he looked at her, she indeed resembled Christina a bit.

"Are you Christina's sister?" Leo asked her with a forced smile on his face. Unfortunately, he hadn't taken his time to learn about Christina's family. Hence, he had no idea if she had a sister or not.

"Yes, I am. Did she not mention about me?" Clair asked as she looked at Leo in surprise.

'Wait a second..' Leo suddenly realized that this was not the important topic here. This was a couple cafe. And, he was here with an 8 year old. No wonder, people were giving him weird looks.

"That's not important here. Where is your sister? You are not alone here right?" Leo asked her with a frown on his face.

"I am indeed alone." The girl suddenly crossed her knees, and laid back on the chair as she looked at Leo.

'What's with this girl?' Leo for some reason felt that she wasn't a child at all.

After all, she wasn't behaving like one.

"Let me contact your sister." He looked at his smart link, and sent her a message.

[Your sister is here. Where are you?]

A reply immediately came.

[I am in front of you]

Leo raised his head, and his face twitched when he saw Claire replying to him through her smart link.

"Why do you have your sister's smart link?" Leo asked with a sunken face.

"That's not the point here." The little girl shook his head.

"Then what is it?" Leo asked with a sigh. Was this really a little girl? What was going on?

"The point is. I know you two are pretending to be dating."

Leo's eyes immediately widened when he heard that, but he immediately brought himself in control.

"I don't know why you think so. But, there must be some misunderstanding here." Leo calmly replied to her.

"You think I am a kid?"

'Yes you are..' Leo really wanted to say that, but for some reason, he couldn't.

"I-"

"Yeah…I know you won't admit to it." The little girl cut him off. "To be honest, I don't care that you guys are faking it."

Leo's face twitched.

He couldn't understand what his girl wanted.

"I mean you are only a third rated guy with a little to no future. But, still you have you have a successful father. So, I don't mind if you guys date or not."

Leo's face began to turn dark.

"But, there is one thing that I have a problem with. My Sister's current boyfriend." She said while clenching her fist, "That guy is a total jerk. He is just trying to use my sister to get my family's support and make a name for himself."

"I don't want my sister to fall into that guy's trap. But, the problem is she is hiding it from everyone. And, honestly, love has gotten to her head."

"What is the use of saying all this to me?" Leo asked her with a calm look on his face. She already knew everything, there was no meaning in denying it

"Well, I want your help."

"I don't think I can help you in any way." Leo shook his head.

"You certainly can. All you need to do is follow my plan." The little girl smiled.

'This girl is not simple..'

"I don't think this is my place to interfere. You will have to find some other way." Leo shook his head and got up to leave.

"Take a step away from the table and I will scream 'pervert'."

Those words immediately stopped him dead in his tracks, and his face turned dark.

When he turned his face to look at the little girl, he saw a sweet smile on her face.

But, she looked like a little devil to him.
