Professor Watson stared at Leon directly. "Why should I inquire about your well-being? It's clear how those who have been treated unfairly feel."Professor Watson was indeed a genius; he seemed to know that what happened to Leon back then was nothing but slander to get him expelled from school."But why did you come back to this corrupt system campus?" Professor Watson asked coldly. But Leon knew that was one of the ways the professor showed concern for the students he cared about.Leon shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm not entirely blameless either.""... good to see you again.""Miss me?""You're a brilliant student; it's rare to find someone like you. And you're quite famous; there are some people asking about you."Leon asked, 'Me? Why?""Well, you're a brilliant young man; naturally, some people would inquire about you."Ah, that's true.Leon nodded. "Well then, I'll take my leave now." He bowed respectfully.Professor Watson turned back to the young man, Leon."Is that all?"Leon nodd
"Still no news?" His eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the words of one of his father's assistants, whom he had tasked with finding the whereabouts of his two subordinates."The family and friends mentioned they fled after cashing in at the casino. Currently, even their own family appears to be in a rush; they're about to relocate to another city after going bankrupt," the man in opulent attire clicked his tongue once again.He sighed heavily, dismissing the assistant with a wave of his hand."That fool. How long are they gonna vanish like this?"Initially, he believed Ren and Norman were merely on vacation when there was no news in the first month. But now, it's the second month.Not only that, their families severed ties with
"That's not a compliment. But... huh, tell me, what do you want from me, young man?" Iskandar Paulas asked, staring at the silent Leon, contemplating the response to the just-asked question."Quite amusing, the Drago family asking something from him. Paulas already knew what kind of character the Drago family members had. He knew very well what kind of people they were. Forget that, look at someone close to him, Yan Drago. He just wanted to maintain his power and send his son and wife out of the family.Iskandar Paulas knew about Yan's son. He had met the child in front of him several times when he was still in the womb. How many years had passed since then for the child to grow up like this?"I want you to help me," Leon said firmly.Iskandar Paulas replied, "Help
Leon shrugged, uninterested. "I'm sure you know enough about that.” The discussion is heavy, especially for kids like Kala, let alone Ramuna, who is much younger. Gera tried to control his facial expression, visibly anxious about the debate he had initiated.The atmosphere in the room wasn't great. The sound of the cup placed on the table was rather loud."You're right. That's why I want to ask you something."Leon calmly put down his cup. "I'll answer as best as I can.""Haha, this is actually a somewhat personal inquiry from me. If you don't mind sharing."He said casually, and Leon responded, "Go ahead.""Well then, would you like to take the kids out for a bit? I believe my father's playground would be more enjoyable than this conversation.""Oh, that's a great idea!"Leon looked at Gera and said, 'Dad, can you please take Kala and Ramuna out to play?"Gera looked quite worried, but he didn't say anything. Standing up, Iskandar Paulas smiled at his two grandchildren, grabbing the
Firm face, pronounced cheekbones.I could see his neatly trimmed beard, as if he shaved it at every opportunity. His sharp, bright blue eyes contrasted with his entirely white hair.Iskandar Paulas didn't look at all like a 50-year-old man, typically known for wrinkles and a potbelly. Instead, he appeared remarkably fit for his age, making him look younger than he should.He was known as a strict man, showing no mercy even to his own children. But fate had other plans; his demeanor changed when all of his children died in a series of accidents.At that time, the entire Iskandar Paulas extended family was on vacation, enjoying their family time. Iskandar Paulas, who usually seemed like a cold person, would often join in these events, meeting his two children and seeing his grandchildren.In that catastrophic accident, of the five cars at the scene, only Iskandar Paulas's car remained intact, despite being hit by a large truck carrying timber. Officials said it likely because Paulas's v
Ramuna then hugged her brother tightly. "I hate everyone who works for the mafia!" He used all her breath and voice in the last sentence. The little kid gasped, unable to continue his speech. Only after that did he regain awareness. What if this man will make their lives and her brother's even more miserable?What if she once again took the wrong step? 'It's all my fault... I should have stayed silent from the beginning,' Kala muttered in his heart. Leon stared coldly at Kala as the boy shivered slightly in fear; Leon's mouth opened. "Go to hell, you stupid bastards." Kala widened his eyes; the man in front of him had just cursed at him. A laugh then escaped from the man's mouth. "...yes, like that. That's what I taught your brother." Leon once again used sign language, moving his hands slowly. ‘go to hell you stupid bastards.' Leon laugh, then looked at the two little kid who feel confused after hearing it."Hmm, is that too harsh for kids like you?" Kala looked at Leon
The man with a large build and a stern face currently stands in front of the podium, delivering a speech to the guests. He is someone who has taken numerous actions on behalf of the Drago family other than his own father. Or, someone who always sacrifices anything for his own interests. A smug smile on his face appears highly irritating at first glance. Perhaps it's my dislike for the Drago family, or maybe it's just intuition.Beside Mikeil stands a woman who seems to be his assisstant. On the other side, there is someone with a face somewhat resembling Baron. He must be the head of the Romberg family, and there is Baron standing next to the podium, waiting for them.Time continues to pass until I can't quite remember when. Gera then said to me, "Sir, after this, only a few people will remain inside. My relatively short stature does not allow me to stay here any longer."He said this as the event approached its conclusion. Oh, it's already over? I stretch my body, looking back at
"Alright, big brother!""But..." The two siblings being bullied looked at Baron. A sinister grin appeared on his face. "Isn't this amusing? Having two disabled kids as competitors for the Rombergh family. I don't understand why Father told me to be nice to this family."Baron exhaled smoke deliberately in the direction of the unfortunate siblings until they coughed. "Don't play for too long with them; come back inside," Baron said.The younger sibling of Baron just smiled, nodded, and then turned to the two kids in front of them with a smirk. "Kala, Kala! If you can refrain from screaming when I hit you later, I won't bother your little brother at school tomorrow!"This wasn't an ordinary children's game. Whoever that kid was, the way the people around him taught him was very wrong. Kala's younger sibling shook, restraining Kala from leaving. Kala just smiled faintly, ruffled the hair of his crying sibling, and stood up. It made the sibling of Baon laugh happily."Hehe, I'll try u
"Are you ready, Mr. Leon?" Gera waited for Leon, who was currently getting ready.After Randoff straightened his tie, Leon exited the room, eliciting smiles from some servants. Maxi, who happened to be assisting him, was smiling broadly while looking at his master wrapped in a perfectly fitted black suit."Sir, you look very handsome!" Maxi praised enthusiastically. Leon looked at the boy and gave a small smile. "Thank you, it's all thanks to this outfit.""No, you really look handsome! Even without the suit, sir, you look really cool," the boy praised again. Gera glanced at Randoff and nodded, signaling."Well then." Interrupting Maxi, who was still enthusiastically showering him with compliments, Randoff said, "We're leaving now, Mr. Leon." Leon walked following Randoff, with Gera by his side.Today, he and Gera were attending a party hosted by the Drago family. Gera had told him that this event would help Leon learn more about his family. Here, he would be introduced to some hig
