...
Gazing at Arcee not far ahead, although Leon knew she would return on her own, he still made a decisive move:
"Brother, lend me some power."
After greeting.
Without waiting for Tony's consent, Leon placed a hand on the small Arc Reactor on his chest and began rapidly absorbing the electrical energy it released.
Soon.
The Mark 3's system shut down, and Tony's vision turned completely dark, with only the two tiny eyeholes on his helmet providing any sight.
Meanwhile, Leon's body once again shone with golden light. He embraced Tony, and with a double acceleration, they rapidly closed in on Arcee.
The Starlight Template could initially only absorb electrical energy. Although Leon himself was equivalent to a nuclear reactor with ample energy, it was currently difficult for him to convert and utilize it. Once he became proficient with the Starlight Template's superpowers in the future, this minor drawback would quickly be overcome.
"Shit!"
"Leon, are You trying to kill me?"
"The Arc Reactor is already overloading, stop it quickly!"
Tony shouted.
"Brother, bear with it for a moment, I'll be quick."
Leon comforted, then explained to the now very close Arcee:
"Hey, Arcee, this is Tony, my twin Brother. He was just joking with You earlier, he didn't mean to offend You."
"Twin Brother?"
"I hope he can better understand that a girl's attire is a very serious matter."
Arcee took a moment to react before replying seriously.
Because Leon was too handsome, Arcee felt that Tony didn't resemble him at all.
Hearing this.
Leon shook Tony in his hand, signaling him to say something.
Tony also realized what the problem was, so he understood and said:
"Arcee, I'm sorry, I never thought a motorcycle could also be a delicate and sensitive girl."
"So I take back what I said earlier."
"Arcee, You are a very beautiful girl."
"After all, I built that motorcycle. What father in the World wouldn't love the child he poured his heart and soul into raising?"
"Of course, I'm not saying You're my child, that's just an analogy."
Tony explained.
"......"
After a brief silence, Arcee replied, "I should also apologize to Leon's Brother. I shouldn't have been so rude to You just now."
"Long live understanding."
Tony whistled cheerfully, and Leon also felt relieved, immediately stopping the absorption of energy from Tony's small Arc Reactor, which was used for his life support and armor power.
With the energy supply restored, the Mark 3's system immediately restarted and quickly resumed its normal flight posture under Tony's control.
As for Leon, having lost the external power charging, the golden light on his body extinguished, and he immediately lost his flight power, plummeting towards the sea below.
Tony had intended to let Leon freefall for a while, to get back at him for his rash act of absorbing his energy without permission.
However.
Arcee, despite her words, was physically honest and immediately flew down to catch Leon, letting him ride on her driver's seat, which was Arcee's waist.
"Thank You, Arcee."
"No, it's what I should do, Leon."
When Leon discovered that she wasn't a true human-machine, Arcee simply stopped pretending.
"Oh, thank goodness, You're finally willing to talk to me normally."
Leon sighed.
Next should be the common trope where Arcee bares her heart to him, he gives her heartfelt comfort, and then he wins the beauty.
However.
After this.
Arcee became depressed again.
It seemed she hadn't yet emerged from the Shadow of losing all her companions until only she was left.
His integration with Arcee was a long and arduous journey.
Leon thought to himself.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
For a cold and resolute woman like Arcee, who had lost everything, the simplest way to win her over was to display his strength.
This point.
It was also recorded in Arcee's "Operating Instructions."
"Haha!"
Sitting on Arcee's waist, when he thought of the subtle beauty within, Leon couldn't help but let out a burst of unrestrained, wild laughter.
Arcee, who had been silently observing Leon, couldn't help but doubt herself when she saw this: Was taking refuge under this savior truly the right choice?
He seemed a bit... not like a good person?
And...
None of her partners had ever had a good end. Arcee was afraid that one day, Leon, her savior, would also follow in their footsteps.
After judging that Arcee's mood was a bit low based on the brightness of the vehicle screen and the strength of the anti-inertia field, Leon began to talk to her.
This was a fundamental skill for picking up girls.
Leon, who had been through many battles, had already mastered it to a professional level.
Even if Arcee's mental state was negative, he could sweet-talk it into being positive.
After a series of compliments from head to toe, the introverted and traditional Arcee couldn't resist at all.
"Leon, don't be like this, there are plenty of motorcycles in this World."
"But You're the only one I want."
