Leon had a cocky smile on his face as Drake immediately signed the papers without a second thought and passed it to Lily. Amstrong laughed loudly, "You just did the right thing, cousin. This greedy man cannot be trusted with our money," He said, pleased with the decision that Drake had just taken. Hopkins was burning with anger as he turned to Lily and tried to snatch the paper from her but Leon was faster than he was. Rising on his feet, he grabbed the paper from Lily and held it up, "Is this what you want?" He asked. "He has no rights to sign those papers, I brought him here and he should only do as I say!" Hopkins snapped. "You don't own me, young man," Drake spat at him, "You brought me here for a partnership by line that this kind man was a fraud but he has just proven to all of us that he is really a true healer, I can't do business with you if you are a trickster, Hopkins." He added decisively. "I guess this meeting is over then. You still have a few days to return
The light of the camera flashed as well as the cellphone facing Leon, he turned to the men that surrounded shum fiercely and Hector began to laugh, "It's time for you idiots to pay for this disrespect now," he sneered at them. Leon was as fluid as the winds itself, he moved like he was weightless. From the first man that charged at him, he grabbed a hold of his neck and flung him to the road swiftly, picking up the second person and doing the same. The men pulled out the bats and chains and began to attack him vigorously. Hopkins was happy that he would soon be overpowered and he could show the whole world what a weakling he was. "Let the world see him for what he is! A freaking weakling!" He snapped. At once, Leon turned to the next man and grabbed hold of his bat, snatched it off him and knocked him out with just one blow. He spun so quickly that he appeared like a blur to their eyes as he grabbed Hopkins and brought him right to his knees in front of the camera. "Who's a w
Hopkins wasn't a hard man to find. The next day, Leon arrived at his home in Seattle where he'd run to hide and avoid the media scandal Gee caused. Stopping at the gate, he could see the disbelief on the faces of the guards who no doubt recognized him as the fighter from the video. "I'm here to see Mr Hopkins," he says boldly and the guards all fled, leaving the gate unattended. Hector laughed at their cowardice and stepped out to push the gate open. It wasn't the first time it was happening and it certainly didn't look like the last. "Cowards," Hector muttered as he sped into the compound and parked right at the center of the yard. Up their right were two motorbikes and a sports car. "I won't be long, stay in the car," Leon ordered Hector as he marched off. "Master, are you sure you don't want me to come? Some form of backup?" He asked with a smile on his face. It was just a joke truly, he just wanted to be available to see the action - if any. He already knew that Leon was
Hector was already in the car with the engine rumbling as Leon marched out of the building. "Hopkins isn't budging, as a matter of fact he's counting on me trying to rough it up, make me appear as the typical monster he's already painted me as," Leon said in irritation. Hector sighed, "I'd thought so too, boss. I noticed a few CCTV outside the building and I can tell he didn't invest much in the right men to protect him, he's hoping you try to take him out and he proves to the world that you're a barbarian," he agreed, "My guess is he has the cops or some solid security team on standby waiting to swoop in and help him if anything goes wrong." "I'm not dumb enough to do that," he replied and leaned on the leather seat. Hector glanced at him from the rearview mirror, "What do you suggest we do, boss? Professor Xavier is still blowing up the phone lines and Lily has started calling from the office again," he said. Xavier groaned, "Didn't we get XLT settled? I told those old men I
The Yeti club was open all week, from 10 pm until the next dawn. Hector was right. Questionable characters filled the entire place. From the front line where kid that looked underage were queued up, looking to somehow present a fake ID and sneak in, to the bouncer who looked like a pedophile with the way he was checking out the nubile girls. It wasn't a place Leon wanted to spare a second in but he had no choice. "Wait in the__" Leon was about to say but Hector nodded and completed the sentence for him, "Wait in the car, I got it," he replied with an amused smile. Leon walked to the front door and the bouncer took one good look at him. "What's up? Something tells me you're not here to grab a free beer, looking for someone?" He asked. "I'm looking for someone, his name is Kade," Leon replied and the man simply shrugged, "I sure don't know who that is, I'm gonna need an ID before you go in," he stated. Leon pulled out a few dollar bills and place it in his outstretched hands
The next day, as early as the sun was up in the sky, Leon was already navigating the highway leading to the small town whose location had been sent to him the previous night. Leon finally understood why Miti had said that Alex couldn't be found and that the only way to get to him was to let him find you. A few hours after he had returned home that night, with his head still buzzing with countless thoughts, Leon had managed to call the man he'd been told about and he didn't get any response. He tried again and sent several blocked mails. Truly, he was an enigma and very hard man to find. There were several Alex Renee but none fit the description he'd managed to get off one of the bouncers in the club for a good wad of dollars. "He's a sneaky man, the boss has worked with him once or twice and no one ever reaches hin, he changes home like a freaking bird and he can't be found in one place for a long time," that had been the description that he'd gotten from the doorman. Almos
Fiona snorted, "I should be asking you that, I didn't expect to see someone like you here," she said with an undertone of scorn. "What does that mean?" Leon asked, looking at her oddly. Fiona walked past him and went to Alex, slamming an envelope on his desk. "Are you willing to work for me now?" She asked. Confused, Leon walked to her and pulled her away from Alex. "Why are you here? How do you know him?" He asked, nodding at Alex. Fiona sighed, "I have something I need him to do for me, I have been trying to get someone but all to no avail," she replied. "I heard he really is a hard man to find, I'm wondering how you found this place, what's going on?" He asked. "Clinton has been up to a lot more than I can imagine. We all thought he'd given up on trying to get my company but I guess it was all a fluke. He's back and he won't stop," she replied with a sad face. Leon wondered why he was just hearing that. He expected that Fiona would seek his help if anything went
It was just a few minutes later before they were on their way back to the city. The town was a good distance away from the heart of the city where Leon's new mansion was. Fiona was out of the car the moment Leon turned off the engine. Hector, who was following closely behind, also stepped out of the vehicle to welcome Leon home. "It must have been a successful journey, sir, I noticed you didn't need our help with anything," Hector said. "Yes, thank you for being on standby," Leon replied. Fiona stood at the porch, very surprised at the new house that now belonged to Leon. "This doesn't look bad," she commented dryly. Leon smirked and grabbed the front door for her. Fiona stepped inside and was even more fascinated with the grandeur of the furnishing as well as the paint on the walls. Two plush sofas that looked like Turkish fur sat at the center of the living room and she could see a granite countertop peeking out from the adjoining kitchen. "Welcome to my new home," he said.
