Silva flew in rage at Leonard with a clenched fist. Scorn was written clearly on his face.'I will show this punk what I'm made of and he will regret ever interfering in what doesn't concerns him.'Vanessa widened her eyes as the fist flew towards Leonard's face. "Watch out!"Leonard narrowed his eyes at the clenched fist without moving.The passengers stared at the scene with interest."Isn't he supposed to dogde the punch?""I pity him. That young man looks like a rich scion, he shouldn't have poke nosed into their business.""Don't pity him. He deserves it, trying to form a hero to a princess in distress without thinking. Look at what he's wearing, I wonder who even let him into the airport in the first place.""He's so poor that he wanted to save this woman who seems to be really rich.""Yeah, so he could get some change.""Hehe, now he's gonna get beaten!"Some of the passengers showed pity and concern while others treated him with scorn, seeing him as a con-artist trying to get
6 hours later,Los Angeles, California.A white plane approaches the runway, the plane begins to decrease it's velocity as it's starts to descend towards the runway.…Leonard steps down from the plane. Closing his eyes, he inhaled the gentle breeze of California.Memories of his life here flashed in his mind. He was finally home."Young master," A voice said beside him.Leonard opened his eyes and glanced towards the direction of the voice.Beside him stood an man in his late 50's, he was slightly bent respectfully as he greeted him.Leonard walked up to him and held him up. "Gregory, you don't have to bow respectfully when you see me. I'm old enough to be your son."Gregory smiled faintly, revealing his wrinkles. "It's expected of me to young master, you don't have to be so kind to a servant."Leonard smiled and shook his head. "Still as stubborn as ever.""You've really grown into a handsome man, young master. Your parents would be so surprised to see you," Gregory replied.Leonard
"We all thought you would never come back to us. Look how handsome you have become," his mother said to him, caressing his face with tenderness. "Catherine, Leonard needs to rest. Let him go upstairs for a shower then you can talk to him for as long as you want," Shadrach said with a faint smile. "True. Leonard, go have a shower. I will prepare your favourite meal for you. Your return calls for a celebration.' Leonard gave out a smile and ascended the stairs. Catherine wiped off a tear running down her cheek. "Shadrach, our son has changed. Didyou feel the incredible and intimidating aura he now carries?" Shadrach sighed and nodded, staring at the empty staircase. "I noticed it too. I wonder what happened to him in the prison all these years." … Leonard stepped out of the bathroom with a towel round his waist. Water dripped down from his well chiseled chest and arms to the carpet. He walked towards his phone on the bed and picked it up, punching in some digits, he dialed a num
Suddenly, in a split second, Victor's raised arm was pinned to the table.Victor looked up with shock. Leonard narrowed his eyes at him, fury and menace in them."You… You are back!" He cried out with surprise."Yes, I am back," Leonard replied curtly.Suddenly, the fear in Victor's eyes was replaced with contempt."And so what if you're back? They should have let you rot in the prison, you rapist. Let go of my hand, this minute!" He shouted.Leonard had a sly smirk on his face as he added pressure to his hold. "And what if I don't?" Sweat broke out on his forehead and back."Ahh! You won't want to meet my father!" He cried."Then, I will be glad," Leonard replied, adding pressure to one of the fingers and dislocated the joint."Ahh!" Victor let out a blood curdling scream."Leonard!" Shadrach stood up from his seat wide eyed, staring at the two men before him. "What did you just do?"Leonard looked up at his father. "He said, he will bring his father, isn't that what he said? And it
"Mom, Leonard has travelled out of the city. What do we do now?" Cordelia said to her mom as they walked home.Lauren stared at the pedestrian pathway thoughtfully, before glancing at the bag in her hand. "We will call him. As long as this bag is very important to him, there's no way he won't come for it.""And then we threaten him into giving us what we deserve! He can't just freeload off us and when he finally gets a good life, he decides to forget us.""Alright mom. That's a good idea. Leonard thinks that he can freeload off us and then disappear, he must take us for fools," Cordelia said with hatred in her eyes.Ever since she got sacked from Marshall's corporation, her life has been miserable. No one wanted to employ her because they will always want to know why she was sacked from such a reputable company.She couldn't find any suitable excuse to give so she was never offered any job. Now, she had been reduced from a company worker with a huge salary and benefits to a cleaner a
"You have to let us go. Why are you torturing us when we have already told you what we know?!" Trisha thundered at the strange man with tears. "Leonard is not here and besides, I already told you we aren't related in any way!"Her face and that of her mother's and sister's were all covered with red marks as well as their bodies."I have already told you what I want from you. Tell me where the bastard is," The man replied, crossing one leg over the other leisurely, playing with a bird that he had caught outside earlier."I already told you he's in California," Lauren cried.She was incredibly frightened by the sight of this man. What problems had that stupid man gotten himself into? Now, they were suffering for his sins."And why should I believe you? You could be hiding him anywhere or hiding the truth about his location." The man rubbed the fur of the bird, which squeaked in between his fingers. Using his hand, he broke the wings of the bird which made it scream in a terrifying way
A Secret Base."So what're you going to do?" Aquafina asked, staring at Leonard.Leonard had just informed them about what Natasha had told him on the phone.Leonard sipped from his glass of whiskey with a sullen look on his face and replied, "Nothing.""Huh?" Diana and Aquafina chorused, exchanging glances."What'd you mean by nothing?"Leonard inhaled sharply. "The time isn't right yet. I'm sure he would not bring them directly here, they will be fine in the meantime.""You sound so sure," Diana said with a raised brow.Leonard nodded. "Yes, I am. Natasha is with them.""Oh, do you really trust her that much?" Aquafina asked.Leonard casted a glance at her. "I trust no one but as the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.""How's the search coming up? You both haven't found her yet?" Leonard asked with a raised brow, looking at them both.He had flown them to California to find the lost member of the lost dragon, Mikel but uptill now, there has been no positiv
"Huh?" Amelia mouthed with surprise. "You want to prove stubborn? Alright then." "Guards!" Two able bodied men rushed towards her, flexing their muscles underneath their black garments. "Amelia!" Emily raised her voice slightly with a big frown on her face. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" "I invited him over and only I have the right to walk him out, you have no right to do so. Since when did you become this disrespectful" Amelia folded her hands angrily. "My sister has never raised her voice at me ever since we were little but because of you she yelled at me." Leonard sighed. "I don't mean to cause any trouble. I only came here to help." "Your help isn't needed," Amelia snapped. Emily inhaled sharply and glanced at Leonard. "Ignore her, let's go. He's in his room." Amelia furrowed her brows. Shrugging her shoulders, she followed them out. "I will have to follow you, just in case you steal anything." Emily and Leonard ignored her and entered into an equally luxurious vi
