"George, I won't stand here and listen to you insult my family! You had better bring that punk down here, the experts I've brought here ain't for decoration!" Bruce pointed furiously at his nose." Uncle Bruce, you have no right to threaten my father in that manner! " Mary snapped angrily. " Leonard isn't someone you can afford to offend. "Roman guffawed loudly after hearing what Mary said. He was laughing so hard that his entire body was shaking, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke ever." Hahaha, Mary, have you gotten addicted to lying? You kept on defending that useless good-for-nothing back at the party and now, you're defending him yet again."" Besides, he just an ordinary employee with no powerful background. He can't do anything to the Reigns. "" Let me tell you, I'll cripple that punk's limbs in front of you and drag him to our residence. He will die in a miserable way that in his next life, he will be so scared to tread the path of the Reigns! "Roman's eyes were
What Leonard said caused an uproar in the lobby." Did he just say Mr Bruce Reigns isn't worthy of his apology? "" Who the hell do he think he is? "" He's definitely courting death! "… Bruce was enraged! This punk actually dared to say he had no right to seek an apology from him!He only wanted to give him one last chance because he found him interesting, Leonard wasn't even scared when his life was threaten. But, now, he regrets it! Roman sneered happily. Leonard had just ruined every chance of him being left in one piece.What a fool!"How dare you talk to my father in that manner?! What do you mean by he is not worthy of your apology?!""Hehe, you're courting death!" Roman said, shaking his head. Leonard immediately glanced at him with piecing gaze which made Roman subconsciously take a step backwards and gulp down his saliva. A wave of fear surged in his heart.Damn! This punk has a terrifying gaze."Punk, you're just trying to act so impressive in front of everyone, isn't i
Bruce stared at the retreating figures with despair and anger surging in his heart. He has finally lost what he had fought to get for so many years in just one day because of over-indulging his son. The employees stared at him with pity in their eyes, but some felt that he had deserved it. He didn't investigate the matter properly before storming in here to create a ruckus in their company.His son was clearly at fault for being too arrogant and ruthless but yet he didn't chastise him instead he rushed down here and put all the blame on Leonard, just because he thought he was poor. Now, the tables have turned in Leonard's favor! Bruce stood upright and glanced coldly at his son, whose face was swollen as a pig's head and covered with finger-like marks due to his slaps; he walked away from the company with great shame.The almighty Bruce Reigns has fallen! … Brooklyn, The lotus group. Ademaro paced round his room with signs of anxiety and worry on his face. His hairy hands were
Marvin's Supermarket.Leonard drove his black jaguar into the parking lot of the supermarket and walked out of his car.He had volunteered to go get some foodstuffs for the house. Although he had maids, he wanted to do it himself. After all, he has been doing it for the past three years. Pulling the handle of the door, he accidentally bumped into a woman, spilling her bought goods on the floor.He reached down to help her pack it up, muttering sorry."Leonard?" A feminine voice gasped with surprise. Leonard glanced up and saw Emily standing close to a familiar lady with a petite face, in her late 20's.She was the one he had bumped into. Her name was Audrey, she was one of Emily's closest friends back then in college. Audrey furrowed her brows, her face then turned into a deep frown, her eyes filled with disgust."So you finally got out of jail?" She asked with disdain.Leonard nodded indifferently. If she wanted to act coldly towards him then there was no reason for him to be poli
Audrey's face was flustered. She heaved out deep breaths. Leonard stared at her with menace. He hadn't done anything to her because she was a woman and also because she was with Emily. If it were anyone else, they would have gotten it from him. Emily glanced at Leonard with a pleading look in her eyes. She was scared that Leonard might break her wrist in a fit of anger. Audrey had gone overboard but Leonard shouldn't be violent to the extent of breaking her wrist. "Leonard, please let her go. She was wrong, I will handle her," Emily said calmly. "Audrey, apologize to Leonard immediately!" Audrey, feeling immense pains on her wrist, didn't needed to be persuaded. "I'm sorry." Her voice was low and almost inaudible. Leonard scoffed and let go of his grip on her wrist. Audrey scurried away to the car and slammed the door with a bang. The inquisitive crowd immediately dispersed, leaving only Leonard and Emily standing. "I'm… I apologise on her behalf once more. " Leonard let o
Chapter 65:Leonard narrowed his eyes at the three of them. The nearest man curled up his fist and raised it slightly to strike Leonard's head.Leonard raised his fist towards his arm and punched it. The flesh on the man's arn rippled, the bones made a cracking sound.Crack!The man had not yet recovered from the punch before Leonard sent another one to his neck. Leonard kicked his calf with his leg and held his hand, led him towards his opened car door and slammed it on his back."Arghh!" The man let out a miserable shriek, before falling to the ground.The other two men exchanged glances."Ahh!" One yelled in fury, charging at him with knife.Leonard smiled indifferently, his hair flying with the wind. He caught the knife and turned the man around, stabbing him at the back with his knife.He raised his leg and kicked the man. The man slammed his head on the car bonnet due to the impact of Leonard's kick and fell to the ground.The other didn't relent at all, he knew he might suffer
"How do you wish to die?" Sylvester asked, sliding his hand into his pocket.Leonard narrowed his eyes at his movement."What about dying slowly? I want to see you in pain just the same way you have caused my master so much pain. You know, I admire you, but too bad we had to become enemies."Sylvester took out his gun and pointed the gun at Leonard. After witnessing Leonard's strength, Sylvester didn't want to waste any more time in wasting him.Going head-on with him will be fatal!Leonard stood upright, staring at him with menace, he said, "If you think that toy can destroy me, then you have to think again."Sylvester raised his brow.Why was he still acting arrogantly when he was held at gunpoint?"You think I'm joking right? Why don't I start from your legs then we will know whether I can destroy you with it or not."Sylvester was about to pull the trigger when Natasha suddenly held his hand."What is it?" Sylvester asked sharply."Sylvester, do you think shooting him is a bad idea
Leonard stared at the unmoving body of Sylvester, and then glanced at Natasha, who was still holding the gun with a relief on her face.She closed her eyes and inhaled the gentle wind blowing against her face. The rainfall had reduced to small droplets."So, what's next?" Leonard stared at her intensely. "What do you mean?"Natasha inhaled deeply and opened her eyes, glancing at him."They will still come after you but they will be more careful and you have to be one step ahead of them.""When will you tell me what I need to know?" Leonard raised a brow."I didn't think you were this impatient. We haven't achieved our goal yet so there's no need for me to tell you anything."With that, she walked away from him.…Two weeks later,6 am,Leonard's Villa.A soft knock came on Leonard's door. Leonard looked up from his almost cloth-filled box."Come in."The door was pushed open revealing Keith. He had black eye bags underneath his blue eyes, seemingly stressed. He was much more better a
Unknown to them, Leonard had seen their gestures and as soon as their eyes met, Justin couldn’t help but turn his gaze away, intimidated by his sharp gaze. At a dark corner, a man stared at Leonard with interest as he sipped his drink.…New YorkKeith had been introduced to Bella who granted him audience. “Miss Hadid, I have come here to see for your help as I can see that you are the only one who can help me.”Bella had switched to professional mode instantly and looked up Keith and said, “What kind of help would a model offer to an influential man like you?” “Miss, I am sure you must have gotten information about our ongoing projects from your agency already and I will like to collaborate with you to help my company.”“There are other A-list models in New York, Mr. McDonald. Why did you decide to come to me?”Keith inhaled sharply and responded. “I didn’t think that they will be fit enough to battle with our competitors.”“The Maldivians” Bella said with a small smile. “They are yo
Harry’s eyes widened in shock. He was shaking terribly. If Leonard wanted, he could wipe out the Hades family in seconds and now his foolish daughter had probably gotten him angry.The guests were confused at Harry’s disheveled posture. They glanced at Leonard, some of the guests remembered who had met him outside recognized him.“He was the one who said he trampled down on the Hades family and destroy them in seconds,” One of them said to her friend.“Such audacity! He doesn’t even look like a rich scion; he looks like an ordinary man to me. I’m very sure Mr. Hades is going to teach him a big lesson.”“But he has a gold card and can’t you see how slightly bent Mr. Hades is.”“Why would he be covered in sweat?”The guests bean to murmur, wondering who exactly Leonard was to make Harry so visibly frightened. One of the heads of the four great families was scared of a man? Then his identity definitely wasn’t going to be simple.Vanessa stood at one section of the hall, listening to the
Everyone gasped in shock.Leonard actually rejected Agnes. Agnes was really pretty and had right proportions in the right places; her skin was as white as snow and also flawless. She had the height and looks to pose for a model but she opted to working for her father in the company. Many men will die to have her but Leonard had rejected her instantly. Roman also thought Leonard to be stupid for rejecting the young miss in that manner, but he couldn’t swallow the fact that his woman had taken the initiative to ask him out. Once again, Leonard had the attention of the woman he wanted.Agnes stared at Leonard’s disappearing figure and felt humiliated. No one has ever rejected her in such a manner, making her feel so insignificant. This action from Leonard even made more interested in him so she went in, completely forgetting about Roman who had no invitation and was merely tagging alone.…Inside, Leonard found a spot away from the crowd and sat down. He spotted Justin and the other head
“Go on, apologize to her,” Roman ordered.“You seem to have forgotten how you were chased out of Amanda’s party and humiliated. Do you want another dose of that?” Leonard said with a sinister smile.“You…” Roman was furious. He didn’t expect Leonard to bring that up in front of Agnes. “If anyone is meant to be thrown out, then it will be you! Agnes, don’t even bother letting him in. Order your guards to throw him out and break a few bones as well for insulting your family.”“Gladly,” Agnes sneered, motioning at her bodyguards to throw him out.Roman searched Leonard’s face to see any trace of fear but he saw none. He couldn’t help but sneer.Still trying to act tough!Agnes’ bodyguards were heavily bodied compared to the slim-looking Leonard. They were so trained from renowned boxing rings in the world and were professionals in martial arts.Leonard narrowed his eyes as they approached him. He wasn’t in for this, all he wanted was to go in but Roman had decided to cause trouble for hi
“Leonard, you must apologize to my fiancée immediately,” Roman sneered, his eyes narrowing. Back then, he had known Leonard wasn’t an ordinary person but that was in New York, he wouldn’t have that power in Oklahoma after all Amanda and Mary were not here to save him.The lady looked up at Roman, “You know him?” “Yes. Back in New York, he had caused a lot of trouble for me. But that doesn’t matter; he must apologize for almost running your dress. I promise you that Agnes.”Agnes glanced at Leonard. Her eyes were clearly filled with scorn as she stared at Leonard’s wears. He was dressed rather shabby, dressed in a brown leather jacket and a dark wash jean trouser.What can of man would dress so shabby to a party filled with distinguished guests? He looks so ordinary. I won’t wear this dress anymore. It has been stained!Leonard sighed and said, “If you look at me, you bumped into me and I have no reason to apologize to you because your dress isn’t ruined in any way.”“How
7pm,Oklahoma.“Mr. Leonard,” Gabriel said with courtesy as he opened the door of the car for him. Leonard nodded a greeting and they drove out of the estate.“From the invite, I’m sure you already know the venue of the party. Mr. Justin had thrown the party to celebrate his granddaughter’s graduation from college.”“So we are going for prom?” Leonard asked.Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not really. Justin’s family is one of the four great families of the city; the party is trying to bring the families under one room to discuss the impending danger and also to introduce his daughter to the business circle.”Leonard nodded at Gabriel’s explanation. The four great families of Oklahoma City comprises of: The Davison, The Hades, The Brighton and The Wades, Justin’s family.The recent attack has been on the Hades and the remaining two families were also attacked by the same person. There was a high possibility of an attack on the Wades which might even happen during the party.“The
“Leo?” Keith called out, comporting him. “I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.” “I apologize for not calling earlier.” “Leo, you don’t have to apologize to me for anything. I understand that you will be quite busy there,” Keith said with a smile.“I saw the news.” Keith went silent. In fact, it was everywhere. He had already contacted some media houses to pull it down or he would sue them. Not hearing a word from him, Leonard said, “You are a brave man, Keith. For coming out to face the public and protecting your son. My company is in good hands.”Keith went cold at the mention of the company. If all things don’t go as planned, e would lose his seat and who knows what action the board will take. If he loses the seat, Leonard would be removed as the chairman. No, he won’t let that happen.“Keith, is there anything wrong happening in the company? If you need my help do not hesitate to ask for it.”“Don’t worry Leonard. Everything is under control, we are just waiting for your r
All the while Keith was on phone with Seth; Marilyn was attending to the reporters so no one took notice of him. Keith stared at her with disgust on his face. This time she truly went too far.He glanced at the board members who were staring at him and he sighed deeply. “My son will like to speak to his mother,” Keith announced.Marilyn looked at him with amazement as well as the reporters. “I thought he said he was never going to talk to me again.”“Well, if you know he said that, why did you put on this show? You are embarrassing his father publicly!” Keith fumed. “But I’m also his mother!”Keith ignored her words and stared at Seth on the phone. “Are you ready now, son?”Seth nodded. “I will do anything to kick that woman out of our lives.”Keith turned his phone screen in such a way that it would face the ground.“My name is Seth Donald and I am Keith’s son. That woman over there is not my mother.”Marilyn immediately went closer to Keith in an attempt to grab the phone but Keith w
Wills Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma.The plane arrived at the airport and passengers streamed out. Leonard walked out the airport and spotted a black car waiting for him. A man dressed in black suit walked up towards him with a mysterious air excluding from him.“Welcome to Oklahoma city, Leonard. I’m Gabriel Pierce.”…The car drove through the city of Oklahoma with silence. Leonard stared at his phone and saw 5 missed calls from his parents and he couldn’t help but smile. Once, he’s done with this mission and he was sure that there were no impending danger; he will take them both out for a family vacation.He sighed deeply and tired.“I’m taking you to house we have prepared for you. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow evening for the party. Everything you will need to know about the family is in this flash drive,” Gabriel said, giving him a purse containing the drive.Leonard nodded, not seeing a word, feeling Gabriel’s eyes on hi. At this point, her still couldn’t let his guard down.
