The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY
It was almost midnight when Leon heard a sound coming from the pantry. He'd picked the rook closest to the master's room despite Gideon's generous offer to have the biggest guest room cleaned up for him downstairs. Leon had agreed and slept in the guest room for a few hours after his dinner and then retreated into the room beside the pantry. It was dark and the lights were out in most of the hallways. The chattering of servants had long ceased and all Leon could hear was the whirring of the ceiling fan above and the humming of the air-conditioning unit. He sat up on his low mattress and pulled on a bathrobe quickly. The clattering in the pantry didn't stop and Leon went out to investigate. He had been unable to sleep soundly all night - if at all. The thought of someone trying to harm the master has chills. Somehow, Gideon had ordered that a security camera should be installed at the entrance of the master's room just to keep him safe. Leon thought it was a good idea but he s
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY ONE
Leon wanted to beat himself up for not believing the master when he said that Brian was indeed after his life. The young man had not just admitted to it but he did so remorselessly. For a minute, he thought of the poison in his bloodstream. How could an adult be so careless as to ingest the same poison that he'd given to someone else consciously? It didn't make sense but then, Leon had seen a lot of things that didn't make sense and he was coming to terms with the fact that life was just a big field for the sane and insane. Groaning, Leon tossed the wrap of weed in the nearby trashcan and made his way back to his room. It was dark and he could barely see anything but he couldn't turn on the lights. He didn't want to announce to the entire estate that he was in the room next to the master's. Leon quickly decided to check on the master just once more before he went to bed. He creaked open the door and noticed that Xavier was up and with a little light, he was looking at his dra
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY TWO
Leon jerked awake and looked at the clock, it was just a few minutes since he'd last glanced at it. Groaning, he discovered that he'd just dozed off after tossing and turning for many minutes. Giving up on sleep for the night, he looked at the book that he'd dropped on the shelf just to his left. With the way that the master was sounding, it was clear that he didn't trust his brother at all. And Leon couldn't even blame him for that. "What sick man would go talk to an unconscious man and threaten him?" He mused out loud. He was about to flip through the pages of the book when he heard a screech. Leon jerked up and looked at the wall which would have linked directly to the professor's room if there was a door right there. "Shit!" He swore loudly as he discovered that it was something that woke him. The master was in trouble. ____________________________________________________ The night was peaceful and a little quiet - too quiet for his liking. The man sat, hunched over hi
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY THREE
Leon leapt off his bed at once and rushed into the master's chambers, he flung open the door and turned on the light switch just in time to see the masked man trying to feed the master a vial. "Who are you?" Xavier asked again and this time, he was on his feet and throwing the blanket off him. The masked man was shocked, he looked at Xavier and then Leon who was at the entrance, technically blocking his escape route. "It's Brian," Leon said and that was his first mistake that night. The mysterious man suddenly moved to the far end of the room, away from Xavier and Leon and towards the window which he'd pulled open slightly. "Brian?" He asked, somewhat disappointed, although he'd had his suspicions, at the back of his mind somewhere, he kept wishing he would be wrong. That his kid brother wouldn't be the one trying to kill him. His only family shouldn't be the one plotting his own death. "How did you find out?" He asked Leon dejectedly. "He snuck into the ensuite earlier to
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
"What?!" Xavier asked with a stunned look on his face. He moved back from the man who was still by the window, "Brian, that's not you," he said, stating the obvious. Brian was still at the doorway, a little confused, he nodded, "What are you talking about?" He asked with a curious stare. Then he turned to Leon and then the masked man by the corner, "Who is he?" Leon shook his head, "That's why we don't know," he replied. Brian quickly stepped back, he looked at all of them and asked, "Wait, did you think that was me?" He asked. Leon rubbed his head and Xavier looked away. "He broke in here and tried to poison your brother," Leon explained and Brian gasped, "And you thought it was me who tried to poison Xabier?!" He asked disbelievingly. "I didn't know what to think, you were the one who came up with all that crazy talk about amnesia and getting him out of the picture," Leon replied, "After seeing you in the pantry, I came in here and we thought it was you." Brian tu
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE
Xavier looked down from the top floor and noticed that the guard that Gideon had dragged out with him landed on the pavement in an awkward position while Gideon himself was nowhere to be found. Gideon had been planning his own escape from the very first day that he got into the master's room three years ago. He wasn't daft to believe that he would never be caught. He knew one day that someone might run into him and he'd have to make a quick escape - however he had always thought that the someone in question would be a servant and not the entire family waking up to see and harass him. All that Gideon had to do was order that a small clove be made and attached to the main building two years ago. He made sure also that there was a garden planted right below it and that garden had nothing but tomatoes and cabbage, a sort of cushion that expanded down to the left wing of the house. He had attempted a fall from the window twice within the year and both times had landed him in the hosp
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY SIX
It was a convoy that dropped Leon off as he left the Xavier estate. All the men at the gate bowed to him respectfully as the car drove past. Leon was driven to his neighborhood, he couldn't wait to have a good rest after staying up all night just to keep watch over the professor. "You can go back now, I'm good here," he said. The driver frowned at him through the rearview mirror, he wanted to argue that the master said they should take him home directly since he'd insisted on not staying at the estate anymore. "Is there something you want to say?" Leon asked the driver and he decided against it. It seemed like questioning Leon would be an act of disrespect too and he didn't want to be punished. "Of course, sir," the driver said and quickly parked the car. Leon got out and walked a few blocks down to his apartment. He was on his front porch, trying to open the door when one of his neighbors ran to him. She was the same girl from the apartment above whose father had a heart at
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
Leon felt the girl grip onto his shirt tighter, her frame shaking as she tried to move back. The sight of the monstrous man was slightly frightening even for him but he could tell that strength wasn't really by size but by might and endurance. "Are you ready to run now?" One of the gangsters asked and Leon simply turned to him with a blank stare. They all laughed because they mistook his calmness for cowardice and they thought he was going mute because he was terrified. The first thing that Leon noted about the large man was that he was so used to being intimidating that he made an entrance boldly, going to elicit the dance effect he'd been eliciting from the very first day. "Oh my goodness, please don't hurt him, please, I brought him here," the little girl began to plead on his behalf. One of the gangsters laughed and said that it was too late for her to beg, "No need, the boss is already here and there's no predicting him, you can't tell him what to do," he spat. "Y
