Nic took Monica to her apartment first and told Unity that he had found Leona and Monica safely.
After that, Nic returned and went to Leona's house because he was going to explain to Quiny why Leona's bodyguards had fainted.
In the middle of the night, Leona's house was very brightly lit up the night, as if it was very crowded inside, making Nic nervous.
Then Quiny came. "Come in and explain."
Nic went inside and sat in the living room, he didn't see Leona there.
"Hm where is Leona?"
Quiny said he was in his room on the phone with his father, "Now explain quickly!"
Nic sighed and finally explained in detail, "huft okay.. so it's like this, I came there because I wanted to help Leona.. then I saw her bodyguards and I felt calm because Leona was definitely safe, but they accused me of being the mastermind behind Leona's kidnapping and maybe they didn't like me because I was the only guy who was close to Leona."
Quiny looked at him seriously and then asked, "You said you were Leona's boyfriend? Was that true?".
Nic nodded and continued to explain, "And it just so happened that behind me, the kidnappers also came, so the bodyguards thought they were my allies.. And just so you know, the kidnappers' allies were also targeting me, resulting in me being attacked from two sides, leaving me with no choice but to fight back until I was mistaken for a devil."
Quiny quickly understood, but she was curious as to why she was being targeted.
"Can we talk about this alone? I don't want Leona to hear." Nic looked around, hoping Leona hadn't left the room yet.
Quiny agreed and the two of them went to the quiet backyard.
Nic quickly told what happened to his family and himself in the red district to be targeted like this.
"Wow.. you really are a devil.. but I salute you, I hope you will be fine in the future..".
Quiny opened her blindfold and looked at Nic, "Now what you have to face is Leona's father.. because he will be coming soon."
Nic was surprised and happy that what Leona had been waiting for finally arrived, "Then what about her mother?"
Quiny was silent, "You weren't told by Leona, huh? Sorry, I can't say this... the point is, good luck."
Quiny then left and immediately told him to go back home because it was very late.

Meanwhile in Leona's room
"So finally.. Dad came home..? Well, Dad came home because he was worried, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have come home."
Leona lay down after her phone call with her father. On the one hand, she was happy that her father had come home, but on the other hand, she knew that her father had come home because of danger to her, This is dangerous for her relationship with Nic.
Finally, Leona didn't sleep and was upset all night.

The next morning her father finally arrived with his personal assistant, after Leona's father opened the door he saw his daughter Leona sitting waiting for him.
"I'm home.. my little princess.."
With a sullen face he ran and hugged his father.
For a moment they spent time at home together, but after a while his father started asking questions.
"So.. can you ask that man to come here to talk to dad?"
Obviously what is meant is Nic..
"Why does dad want him to come here... I don't want to", Leona was immediately annoyed.
"Leona, listen, dad is very worried if you are near him! You could be in danger! The point is, I want to talk to him. If not, dad will not let you go out."
Quiny came and whispered to Leona's father that there was someone at the gate.
Leona's father was curious and immediately went to the gate.
And yes it was Nic, with strong determination he tried to face Leona's father directly.
"Ho.. so this is the kid who dared to approach my daughter."
Nic smiled awkwardly and when he wanted to speak..
"Leave my daughter alone.".
Hearing those words, Nic was shocked and immediately tried to plead.
"I'm sorry if I put your daughter in danger... but I can't leave Leona, she needs someone by her side so she won't be lonely."
Leona quietly peeked and listened to it.
Leona's father immediately called his assistant and whispered to him to negotiate directly with Nic. This confused Nic.
"Hmm, it seems like he will give me difficult conditions to get close to Leona..", Nic thought to himself.
But suddenly Leona's father's assistant gave Nic a piece of paper containing a contract for something, for Nic to sign.
"If you join and bring victory to the esports team that I am developing... then I can consider it", Leona's father smiled slyly.
"eh?", Nic was also surprised, he thought there would be difficult conditions but instead he was told to work for his business... typical of a rich, business-crazy person.
Leona was also very annoyed, she had become a threat to her father's team which had never won.
"DAD! SERIOUSLY? SO YOU JUST WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NIC?" Leona very angry.
"eh.. calm down... My sweet daughter, daddy is just uhm.. doing this for you", Leona's father nudged his assistant so he could escape while his assistant took care of the rest.
The assistant understood, "Um, Mr. Leon. There was a missed business call from your company, you should call them again."
Leona's father quickly pretended to go to make a phone call.
"Nic! Don't listen my dad! My dad is really crazy about business... huh, I think he saw you when you fought against Team Immortal."
Nic told Leona to calm down because this was just a simple matter, whatever the obstacles he would do to be able to continue being with Leona so that she would not be lonely.
Leona was embarrassed and pinched Nic, then Leona's father's assistant continued to pressure Nic to sign... because this was just an easy thing, Nic only needed to win the esports tournament.
"Ah.. yes yes I will sign.. but what about my school?"
That was easy, the assistant said that Leona's father had shares in the school and also knew Mr. Edward, so it was easy to ask permission to borrow Nic for a while and give him a vacation letter.
"Fine.. hopefully there are no problems.."
