A Man Already At The Top Chapter 36
The two men noisily walked around the store looking for things to take. By the time they were done, both of their trolleys were filled to the brim. “I’m only letting you off this time because you’re giving these to us for free. Now pack it up for us.” “O-okay.” The woman nodded and tried to pick up the checkout bags beside her, but they kept slipping out through her fingers. “Hey, do you think we have all the time in the world to spend here?” “I-I’m sorry.” She finally stabilized herself enough to pick a checkout bag and packed everything they had in their trolleys into different bags before handing it over to them. They dropped the bags in the trolleys and we’re about to wheel it out when one of them caught sight of the cash spilling out from the cash register. “You have money here. Were you just going to let us walk out of here empty handed?” “W-what?” The woman blinked her eyes, consciously shielding the money from their sight with her body. The thug sighed and turned to

“Are you looking down on me because you’re taller? I’ll kill you!” The one who was shoved back by Leon screamed and rushed towards him with his knife in hand. Leon flexed the rope of the earpiece as he waited for him to get closer. As soon as he an arm reach away, he reached out and put the ropes around his neck then tightened it to suffocate him. The thug tried to stab him on the abdomen by moving his hand backward, but Leon slanted his body backward, slammed his elbow into his shoulder and swept his legs off the floor then placed his foot on his chest once he was on the floor. Then he bent over and forced out the knife which the thug was clutching tightly. He straightened up again and glanced at the second thug who was still standing at the spot with a shocked look on his face. “You’re not coming to help your friend. Didn’t you say friends help each other out?” The first thug frantically struggled to get Leon’s foot off him all no avail before he looked towards his friend for

Calvin Heinz walked into Rust District a few minutes after the thug had led Leon away to meet Rex Mercer. When he saw the first opened store in the district, he was surprised and walked inside. However, instead of seeing a sales attendant, he saw ten thugs groaning painfully on the floor. He walked to one of them, turned him over with his foot and deadpanned, “What happened here?” “He’s a monster! That man is a monster!” The thug grabbed his leg and repeated in a trembling voice, his eyes widened in horror. Calvin stared at him blankly for a moment before a thought occurred to him. He shook the man’s hands off his leg and demonstrated with his hands as he asked, “This monster you’re talking about, is he this tall and is he lanky and looks like he has no strength in his arms?” Hearing him describe Leon heightened the man’s horror. He quickly scurried away from Calvin and hid his face away in fear. His reaction confirmed Calvin’s suspicion. He had been looking for Leon all over t

The day was still bright, so even though the club was open, it only had a few people partying and drinking in it. Leon caught the attention of some people when he walked in because of his height and how good he looked, but none of them approached him. He stopped one of the people walking around the club and asked, “Can you point me towards the direction of Rex Mercer?” The person nodded and pointed a corridor at the right side of the room. Leon thanked him and walked towards it. Rex Mercer didn’t bother to put guards at his door as he knew he had the entire district in his control. Furthermore, his men swarmed every corner of the club like bees. Hence, he felt he was safe and no one could come to harm him without the knowledge of his men.There was only one room in the corridor pointed out to Leon. He walked to the door and kicked the door out of its hinges after trying to unlock it but found out it was locked. The door flew across the room before it slammed on a chair and f

Rex was greatly provoked by Calvin’s words.This was his district, everyone here listened to whatever he said. He wasn’t about to have some losers speak to him however they wanted. “Don’t just stand there, hack these disrespectful idiots to pieces!” He clenched his fists tightly and turned towards his boys, hollering at them loudly. They nodded and immediately began walking towards the two men. However, Leon and Calvin didn’t react to them. Calvin massaged his jaw with his palm as a pondering look settled in his eyes, his eyes pinned on Leon. “Why won’t you say anything? Are you looking down on me because you won against me the other day? I accept, you’re stronger than me. Which is why I’m here to become your disciple.” Leon didn’t give any thought to what he said as he outrightly refused, “No.” Calvin lowered his hand and thought for a moment. “How about this then? Take me under your wings and I’ll deal with troublesome people like these for you. Order me to do whatever you w

Leon returned back to the store afterwards. The thugs he had beaten earlier were nowhere to be found again. So he stood in the middle of the store and called out to the store owner, “Miss, It’s me. The one who was sent by Emma Mitchell to get what she bought from you.” There was silence for a second before he heard a creaking sound behind him and turned to its direction to see the store owner emerging from the back of the store, her eyes pinned on him in disbelief. She stopped in front of him and voiced out her anazement, “Y-you’re really back? But how…how are you back in one piece?” Leon walked to the boxes on the floor and pointed at one of them with a blank look on his face, “I’m running late with them already. Can you check and replace the missing item?” “S-sure.” The woman nodded immediately and got to work. As she moved around the store looking for where the item was, she kept glancing back at the door. It was clear she was wary of the sudden silence and feared a thug woul

Leon stopped walking as soon as he disappeared from her sight. Hence, he heard everything she murmured to herself. When he heard her ascending the stairs, he continued walking to his room. So she knew Rust District was a dangerous place and still sent him there. It was a good thing he hadn’t gotten careless and didn’t forget to tell Rex Mercer not to say anything about meeting him. His boys were also to say nothing about what happened and to make sure no one believed the store owner if she suddenly decided to speak up. A few hours later, Aria got home. She went to her date as usual. This time, she was meeting a fat, bald headed director of a toy company. He kept making obscene jokes which made her very uncomfortable. She tried to keep a respectful face throughout, but after staying still for an hour, she came up with an excuse of being under the weather and went home with Leon. That night, she packed the clothes they’d be wearing in South Ville before settling down to go throu

For the next three hours, the car was silent. Dean didnt even have the will to play his shooting games. They arrived in Carlin Hotel a few minutes after Ryan and his family. The hotel’s compound was spacious and was a building with over fifty floors. While Aria and Leon got their things out of the fourth car, Emma and Dean got out of the car and waltzed into the hotel. Anthony took his time looking around the hotel before he unhurriedly walked into the hotel as well. Aria and Leon dragged the bags and suitcases into the lobby to find Dean waiting for them impatiently. “Mom says to bring the bags to our rooms before you go to yours.” He said and began walking towards an elevator without helping with the bags. Anthony walked up to Aria and helped her with some of the bags. But they had just gotten to the elevator when it opened and Emma stormed out of it with a furious look in her eyes. Dean ran after her immediately while Leon and Aria glanced at each other in confusion before

“Yeah, it’s Aria.” Ryan’s eyes darkened as he said dispiritedly. “Aria, hurry up here. These gentlemen have better things to do than to stay here.” Joseph urged her, forcing on a wide smile. Aria gripped the hand of her bag tighter and swallowed hard when her eyes met the furious look in Stella’s eyes. Nevertheless, she lowered her eyes to the floor and strutted towards the men. “Miss Aria Miller?” The second man repeated, raising his brows questioningly as she got close to him. She nodded, “Yes, I am.” As soon as the words rolled off her tongue, the one with the invite reached into the pocket of his suit jacket for it. He handed it over to her with a gentle look on his face. “Ms. Miller, you’ve been invited to Carolyn Jensen’s fundraiser which is being held tonight.” “The venue and time is written in the visitation. Ms. Jensen looks forward to seeing you tonight. Have a nice day.” Then they left immediately. As soon as they walked out of the door, Joseph snatc

Aria hurriedly closed her eyes to shield the water from getting in. Then, she wiped it off with her palm and slowly opened her eyes to gaze blankly at Ryan.The corners of his lips hooked up into a mocking smile as he dropped his hand and snorted, “What is that scary look for? Is this your way of thanking those who do good deed for you?” Some staffs who were lurking behind him chipped in with a huff, “She can’t even thank you for giving her water.” “How ungrateful. If I were Ryan, I wouldn’t give her anything ever again.” “Look how hard she’s glaring at him after what he went through to bring her that water.” When she kept looking at him without saying a word, he scoffed in contempt, “You still won’t thank you? I just saved you from dying from thirst and you repay me by glaring hard at me?” “Honestly, if I knew you’d be like this, I would’ve saved myself the time and energy of bringing you this water.” “No one even remembered you were standing outside except me. Yet, this is how

“Mr. Bartlett, this is not somewhere I can be. Keegan Gyst isn’t someone that I can just cross into his territory.” “He may not be around now, but when he returns and finds out I crossed into his territory, he won’t take it lightly with…” Rex Mercer was saying, fear laced into his voice as he walked into the basement with his boys, but instantly fell silent when he saw the sight in front of him. He didn’t know which was more shocking; the sight of Keegan’s men heaped onto each other as they groaned in pain or the sight of Keegan himself lying helplessly under Leon’s foot. The shock in his eyes disappeared after a few seconds and he rushed towards Leon unable to hide his excitement. He stood above Keegan, his eyes wide open in disbelief. “Y-you defeated him! You defeated him!” “Do you know anyone called Carolyn Jensen?” Leon blankly asked without turning to look at him. Rex Mercer’s happiness dwindled a little and his brows knitted into a small frown. He was silent for a moment b

Keegan Gyst’s brows perked up slightly when he saw Calvin Heinz. But he only stared at him for a second before he threw his face to the side again.Calvin was bulkier and more muscular than Leon, but there were several of Keegan’s men with the exact same built. “It would take more than one backup to save you from dying today.” Leon stood behind Calvin and slipped a hand out of his pocket to look at the time on his wrist. Then he probed Calvin stoically, “Hurry up, I don’t have all day.” Calvin nodded and began advancing towards the thugs. Robert Weathers saw this and cackled loudly. “Don’t let those muscles in your arms fool you into thinking you can get out of this room alive.” “Instead of running towards the cause of your death, shouldnt you be running out of here? Seems you’re all muscles but no brains.” Calvin’s eyes shifted to him. The coldness in them made Robert flinch in fear and subconsciously huddle closer to Keegan. Calvin snatched the axe from the first thug he got

Robert Weathers sneered and turned on the light switch. The basement illuminated instantly, revealing the dozens of thugs wielding daggers and axes in the room. Leon’s eyes landed on the bulky man sitting in their midst. He had a gruesome knife scar which slanted from his left eyes down to the right side of his lips. Had he whoever gave him the scar slanted his hand a little further and they would’ve damaged his eyes and cut off a side of his lips. “I’ve worked for Mr. Gyst for over 10 years now and I’ve encountered worse scenarios that threatened to end my life, but I never gave up.” “Did you really think a retard like you was capable of making me turn against the man I revere with everything in me?”Leon listened to him with an indifferent look on his face as his eyes roamed the basement. Keegan Gyst stared at Leon intently before he scoffed in disbelief. “So this is the man who beat those bulky men I sent out with you earlier? I expected someone taller and muscular.” “But g

Leon still didn’t respond. The silence was killing Robert. Every second that went by, the more the back of his shirt got soaked sweat. He peeled his eyes open and swallowed dryly when he saw the blank, unimpressed look on Leon’s face. He couldn’t take it any longer and cried out, “I’ll do anything you want me to. Anything. Just name it!” Leon’s expression finally cracked into a small smile. “Go meet my father-in-law. He’s the one who cares about stuffs like this.” Robert nodded without hesitation before the thugs dragged him to Anthony. Anthony would’ve jumped in fright seeing the thugs and Robert walking towards him had Leon not been with them. As soon as he got to him, Robert pointed at the woman, who was still sprawled on the ground sobbing quietly. “I will return this woman’s child to her and also lead you to Keegan’s next big transaction. I will also tell you whenever he’s about to take another kid. I’ll help you put him out of business.” Anthony stared at him with a susp

Robert Weathers scoffed seeing Leon maintain his confident stance. He looked away and slipped out his phone from his pocket, opened the camera app and started video recording. “I’ll record you being beaten up so I can watch it when you’re long dead to remind myself someone as stupid as you lived before.” Leon ignores him and slipped his hands into his pockets, sizing up the dozen thugs running towards him with his eyes. They all had their daggers and axes raised high up in the air. Their movements were erratic and uncoordinated. No doubt, these were just average people who were recruited by Keegan Gyst and given weapons. The first thug to get close to Leon charged at with a wild overhead swing of his axe. Leon stepped to the side at that very moment, just in time to save his arm from being hacked off.As the thug stumbled past him, Leon grabbed the his wrist, twisted it, and disarmed him in a single fluid motion. “Arghh!” Before the others could react to their colleague’s pain

Anthony was speechless and had no idea what to do. This was the first time he was facing something like this. He had been doing this work for the past 25 years and none of the men he rescued children from ever found him. He reasoned since they hadn’t found him for the past 25 years, they would never be able to. So now that it finally happened, he had no plan in mind. He clenched his jaw tightly and glared hard at the restaurant owner, “You can’t do that! Don’t you see the weapons they’re wielding? If you send us out there, there’s no telling what will happen to us!” “To say the least, you and everyone in this restaurant will become an accessory to murder. That’ll be bad for your business, so you should hurry up and call the police!” The restaurant glared back at him and retorted, “You offended Keegan Gyst, he may not be the most dangerous person in Wentworth, but he’s someone you do not want to cross and neither do I.” “Furthermore, he has people in the police. If he finds out I

Thanks to the tempered glass, Robert Weathers could see the people inside the restaurant. His eyes flickered across the place for a moment before he turned to the van again and dragged out a severely bartered woman. Her eyes and cheeks were swollen and her lips were bled from all sides. The state of her face almost made it impossible for Anthony and Leon to recognize her. After a few seconds, Leon recognized her to be the mother of the boy they had rescued from Robert and taken back to the rescue home. .His eyes dimmed slightly and he pointed it out to Anthony, “Father-in-law, it’s the woman from the rescue home.” When Anthony recognized her, he panicked and shot out of his seat. He was about to stroll towards the door of the restaurant when he saw a dozen thugs holding axes and daggers climb out of the van to stand behind Robert. Robert pulled the woman by the hair and barked something into her face. Unfortunately, they were outside and far from Leon and Anthony. Hence, they
