Chapter 44 44:The World Is Surely Round

In the celestial realm adorned with shimmering constellations, two cosmic entities of unknown stature sat opposite to each other, their presence casting a majestic radiance upon the cosmic expanse.

Before them, laid a huge intricate expansion of a cloudy board with no end in sight. Countless black and white sparkling dots were set on the place signifying important strategic positions.

The board before them was not just a new woven of squares but an intricate web of pulsating dots, each a minuscule world.

It was a game of Go chess played using the laws of heaven and the vast cosmos.

With serene movements, one of the unknown figures, clad in robes of starlight, placed a white mass of condensed cosmic energy upon the grid. As the dot materialized, a galaxy unfurled within its confines, birthing new stars and worlds that spun and danced in ethereal harmony.

The opposing figure, wrapped in the essence of celestial winds, mirrored the move, setting a dark orb in a different section of the grid. Instantaneously, a tapestry of life emerged within this speck, civilizations flourishing and evolving across its cosmic surface.

Each move they made resonated throughout existence, shaping the destinies of countless worlds within the dots.

With each placement of an orb, different worlds clashed with one another for supremacy.

Their silent game was not just a strategic battle but a manifestation of their omnipotence, and play leading to the end and destruction of what they see as an ant beneath them which was just a way of passing time.

The world clashed and fought as the play of heavy Go chess went on for an unknown period.

Each movement of the board took from a year to many eons to move.

At that time, one of the huge expanding figures opened his eyes, gleaming brightly.

"Why did you wake up? It's, not your turn,"

An ancient majestic voice echoed in the space.

"I found an interesting fellow."

"Oh! Someone was good enough to meet the eye of the Dragon God. He might be a genius that can even defy heaven."

Shen Gong, on the other hand, cast an inexplicable smile.

"No, he is trash."

The movement of the other party halted upon hearing this and he gave the dragon in man's disguise a perplexed look.

"You have learned to joke now."

"It's true."

A brief pause lingered in the space. The man let off his chess piece and looked at Shen Gong solemnly.

"Then why are you laughing?"

"He managed to stand unfazed despite my fear attack."

The other man raised his brows for a moment. This was surely something he hadn't expected.

A high level of toughness and substantial mentality without a flaw was required to resist a Dragon Fear so it certainly wasn't easy.

"It's because he is trash, I find him interesting. He got the thing I left in the discarded realm I left when I began my journey. Who knew it would be found by someone like him?"Shen Gong spoke, closing his eyes once again.

"The primordial gods had already thrown their chess pieces. Very soon, the flame of chaos will break out."

"Hmm!" Shen Gong nodded with a solemn expression remembering a few brain-dead idiots screaming themselves as Dragon Slayer.

"Last time, it was utter chaos and yielded no result but who knows what will be the result this time."

"Will the pawns get disposed of in the end or will they reach the end of the board and flip the entire thing?"

The City of Love, Paris in Mystara...

Leon got out of the ship and sniffed the fresh air after alighting from the ship's journey. Mystara was the name of Europe after it went through a shocking change. Its size increased due to the joining of northern landmass and it shifted a bit towards subtropic and integrated with Elysium but due to the division of race from Asian, it was able to maintain its independence.

And Paris was still as it was.

Rustic, classic, and pristine.

Leon went to the prearranged location and felt a bit nostalgic seeing the cafe La Belle Pause.

As he sat down, he scanned around the jovial atmosphere and luxurious decor. The familiarity that he felt with this place can't be described in mere words.

The presence of this place added a hint that this place might not be another world but rather its future or something like a parallel world.

A smile formed on his lips as he went over the menu.

In his past life, he chased after a gang that kidnapped people and trafficked organs. Chasing them to Paris, Leon took care of them and saved a beautiful woman who offered him to be his wife.

However, Leon, who knew his priorities, wasn't able to promise anything. Moreover, the distance was too wide apart to even engage in friendship. He even refused to have a nightstand with her as once he did, she would leave a place in his heart.

Before leaving, they met in the cafe for the final time. Even if there were no sexual acts, it was a memorable event adding a tint of colors to his gray life.

She should stay away from such menace.

"Bonjour!"A man in his 50s appeared and greeted Leon sitting beside him.

"Bonjour, comment Ca Va?"Leon replied with a smile taking the man in surprise.[1]

"Ca Va Bien..''The man smiled and passed a tablet to Leon, and spoke.[2]

"Sir Leon, I have encompassed all the information of the Marriott group. You can look at details of all shareholders, board members, and core members along with their families and other important details. Their work process

"Thanks!"Leon said thank you in French and went over the details."I will send the payment as agreed. You have worked hard, Sir."

"It's nothing."The man smiled.

Before coming, he hired Philips who was a 2-Star assassin as well as a good detective on the list.

As he scrolled over everything, his lips curled upward with a smile.

Philip who gave the information suddenly felt the surroundings becoming oppressive. On raising his chin, he felt a dark sinister aura emerging from Leon making him shiver in fright.

The sweet and gentle expression was replaced by malevolence and treachery.

"What did you find?"

"Someone familiar," Leon answered, locking his eyes on the woman in the picture...

It wasn't some woman but rather his ex-fiancee Elena Rothschild who seemed to have taken over the company.

"Interesting…Very Interesting,"

"The world is surely round."
