The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT
All the men in the room bowed And knelt before Xavier. Gideon knelt briefly and then hurried to him. "Master, is that you?" He asked and went to the bed to sit right beside him. Xavier turned to him and nodded mutely, his neck tilted to the side and his eyes a little distant. Gideon turned to Leon and snapped, "I thought you said you've healed him, why can't he speak?!" "That's because his organs are still very weak, they will take some time to fully recover," he explained. Gideon sneered at him and then looked at the master for a while. "Can he hear us? See us? What organs are you talking about?" He asked. Leon didn't know how to frame his lie so he simply agreed that the master wasn't feeling well or hearing well either. "So he can't see anyone in this room?" Gideon asked, for some reason, he sounded almost hopeful like he was eager to hear that the master truly didn't see. Leon thought it was because he still wanted to have them punished for trespassing and breaking
The Strongest Ordained One CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
Fiona's face stretched into a wide smile as they matched out of the lord's private home. She was ready to go but Leon agreed to stay for the rest of the night. "The master said we could stay for as long as we want," Leon reminded her and she nodded, pleased with that fact. "Then why do you have to go?" He asked and Fiona smiled, "Mia, I have to go home to Mia, the nanny doesn't work all night and she'll be missing me soon," she replied. Leon groaned, he'd just remembered that Fiona was a mother and there was Mia in the picture, somehow, through the stress of the day, it had escaped his memory. "How's Mia?" He asked and she nodded, "She's fine, has been asking of you actually," she replied. Leon simply gave her a tight smile in response. He wasn't ready to play father to a kid and then walk away later when she was already attached. With Fiona, he had to be careful how he dealt with her, he had to be careful what he said and how he acted, she was a little fragile and even though
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

CHAPTER HUNDRED THIRTY TWO
Leon stepped out of the party with Tracy right behind him. He hadn't been in the same place with such elite people in such a long time and he had mixed feelings. Tracy was so proud of what she had done. She wanted to create a new name for herself. No more was she willing to be the daddy's girl that did everything that her parents wanted even when it had nothing to do with her own career goals and aspirations. "Tracy!" A voice called to her from behind and she turned to look at her mother who was really dressed and coming to her with a fierce frown. "How could you do this!" She snapped. Tracy looked at her sternly, she didn't look remorseful at all. "What did you expect mum? If you really think that I would go ahead and marry that man that had nothing to do with my destiny?" She asked with a scowl on her pretty face. "Even if you're disrespecting your father, do you have to do it in such a crass manner? I know that I raised you better than this. I raised you to be more

CHAPTER HUNDRED THIRTY ONE
Leon and Tracy arrived at the party in a short while. They both stepped out of the Maserati and heads turned in their direction. Tracy's dress turned out to be the most lovely and unique in the entire place and this made the ladies stare in envy and the men in lust. "I'm glad that you came with me tonight, I would not have been able to fend off all these men on my own," she said and shook her head. At the door of the party, the bouncer did not even have to ask who Tracy you was because she was the only daughter of Sylvester Caden. But apart from coming as her date, most people in the club already knew Leon and he would not have had a hard time gaining access anyways. "Welcome Miss Tracy. Your mother has been looking for you all evening, kindly take the front seat please," one of the many ushers at the event said and let Tracy to her seat very close to the podium. Settled down and with a table and several bottles of expensive wine before them, Tracy and Leon could not help

CHAPTER HUNDRED THIRTY
Stepping out of the car, Leon came face-to-face with a very nicely dressed Tracy. She looked magnificent in her black dress and curled hair. The bags framed her face beautifully and he had to admit that she was really pretty. "Hello, Leon, it's been forever since I last saw you," she said and walked up to him to give him a hug. Leon bit her and then pulled away just as she looked like she was melting right in his arms. "It's just been a few days, Tracy, I'm sorry I haven't called, I've been busy," he said. Tracy looked at him and chuckled. "I should be the one apologizing for not being able to meet you or even give a call. I apologize but I've been very busy and I have good news," she said all in one breath. Leon was glad to hear that she had good news. So far all he seemed to be hearing in his life was one bleak story or the other. It felt great to await something good for a change. "I'm all ears, what news do you bring?" He asked. Tracy smirked proudly and walked back

CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY NINE
Leaving the premises, Leon couldn't help but feel like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He no longer had to worry about XLT and the mess that Hopkins and his cohort had made of it. "Fucking corrupt bastards!" Leon sneered from the backseat of the car as it rolled down the street. He didn't think it could be so easy to actually steal from the company, but clearly he'd been very wrong. Both the accountant, the clerical officer and Lily, his secretary had a lot to answer to. "Sir, where to?" Hector asked as they moved out of the place. He was glancing at him through the rearview mirror. "I don't know, Hector, just drive away from here," he urged with a glare. The driver nodded and sped off, out of the neighborhood completely. It was going to be a very long and tiring procedure to fish out everyone that was involved in the embezzlement but Leon was ready for it. There was no way he was going to allow them to take what belonged to the company and go scot free.

CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT
Walking out of XlT with his head held high, he couldn't help but notice all the stares that different members of staff were giving him. He was done trying to please everyone, he was done trying to make them all agree with him being the boss. Power had to be taken and Leon was damn rich to grab it with both hands. Leon was outside the premises, all the other staff were still lurking in the lobby, trying to get a better view of what was going to happen outside without being outrightly lookers. "Sir, you have to reconsider, we can't let all the members of the board go," Lily said, running after him, her high heels clicking on the tiled floor.Turning to her with a sharp gaze, he asked, "Which would you rather prefer, a team of old men who will revolt at the slightest chance or no one at all on the board?" He asked. Lily knew that was a tricky question to answer. For as long as she had been working for XLT, there was always a board of directors, Leon dissolving it all in one day as well

CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN
Hector sat in the car, glancing at Leon through the rearview mirror. He has doubts about his master's readiness to face the big sharks at XLT again - especially so soon after all that he'd faced. But Leon wasn't acting like he wasn't ready for them, he seemed to be ready for anything at all. Right from when he woke up from the hospital bed, he'd gone straight down to help Fiona and it seemed he wasn't getting any good sleep in-between. "Master, are you ready to go in?" Hector asked and he didn't even miss a breath when he added. "I could call the secretary immediately to have the entire meeting rescheduled, if you're not up for it," he said. Leon chuckled at the speed with which he quickly said he wouldn't mind rescheduling. "It seems you're hoping that I'm not ready for the meeting so that you could quickly reschedule," he stated. Hector sighed, "If I may speak freely, sir, this has been one of the hardest weeks for you. I don't know how you've been able to fire through the

Fiona was shaking as the cops took Elsa out of the building, kicking and screaming and she said that she didn't do anything. At the bar, as she picked up her purse and was walking out the front door. Her other two friends walked up to her and asked what had just happened. "What happened there? Why is Elsa being taken away?" One of them asked. "I don't understand. One minute you were in the bathroom and she offered to bring you a glass of wine and the next thing the cops are taking her out?" The second one inquired. . Leon shook his head at Fiona, telling her that she shouldn't say anything unless the investigations are over. "I know.that you still have your reservations because you know my powers and you dont think I'm very certain of what I saw. I don't want you to ruin your friend's name and reputation on my account. Although I'm certain of what I saw, I'm willing to wait until the cops are done investigating," he stated slowly, just for her hearing. The rest of the friend

CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE
Fiona stared in awe as she recalled that Leon had insisted on coming to the party even after turning her down the first time. It was quite unlike him to come to any party, especially one that he was sure would be filled up with ladies and music and as it actually turned out - strippers. She didn't understand why he had suddenly changed his mind. "Leon, it's true that you didn't want to come to the party in the first place, you're right," Fiona said and looked at him worriedly. Elsa was still defensive and tried to convince her friend that the man was lying and she would never want to hurt her for any reason. "Fiona, how could you believe this man over me? You left you at the party and went elsewhere, isn't it clear that he's trying to ruin your good time?" She asked, trying to play the emotional trick on her. "Leon, talk to me, why did you show up at that party? Why did you change your mind?" Fiona asked him, this time her eyes were fiercely on him, she believed that there was
