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
Skillfully, Leon was nle to avoid the big man like he was just a chunk of clay. He put him to his left and ducked to the right, making him fall to the ground in the most indecent manner. The gangsters winced as they heard their master fall to the ground with a thud. They hadn't ever seen him in such a position. No one ever withstood him long enough or even had a fight with him. Leon moved away from the man who was now streaming on the floor, he could see from the faces of the gangster that they wouldn't allow him out of the place. "He's down, can I have the boy now?" Leon asked but one of the gangsters sneered at him, "You can't have anything unless we're sure that you've won," the man said and Leon could see a strange smile coming over her features. Before he could turn, he saw a large shadow casted over him and then a punch landed on his left shoulder. Leon yelled out at the impact and the girl began to cry , thinking that Leon would be overpowered. "You just got lucky t
Leon was stunned to find Gideon in his living room. He held the bat a little tighter as he saw the murderous intent in the man's eyes. "Master Xavier's decision had nothing to do with me," he said. Gideon sneered at him, "You're a pathetic liar, you are the one who made him well, that means you foiled my plans and you will have to pay for it." Leon looked outside, it was still dark and he had a sense of deja vu. The day Billy had broken into his house and tried to convince him to work for some man. "I'll act like this never happened if you just leave now," he offered him, reaching onto the side shelf and picking up the telephone. Although it wasn't working and hadn't been for a very long time, he was sure that Gideon didn't know that. "You'll have a hard time making the cops come down to this deserted neighborhood, you know. Not to mention that there's a fire accident downtown and they're all trying to figure out if it's arson or not," he said with a smirk. Leon's eyes
The day was brighter than Leon had imagined, somehow the incident of the previous night with Gideon might have given him the impression that the day would be gloomy and a mess too. But he was very wrong. The sun was up in the sky before it was even mid-morning and some of his neighbors - the girl whose cousin he saved from gangsters the previous day - came with a basket of muffins to appreciate him again. Leon smiled and stored the muffins on the kitchen counter before he left for the banquet. It was almost 9:30 a.m. when he arrived at the Xavier estate. The security guards all showed to him respectfully and led him inside the place. The cab which he'd taken there was paid off and he didn't have to spend a dime. "The master has instructed that you should be given everything you need," one of the guards said and bowed to him. Leon nodded and followed him into the state in what was an open truck. As they arrived at the meeting ground, he was ushered out and into the banquet hal
Leon looked about the crowd and slowly made his way to the stage where Master Xavier stood. He looked at him with open admiration and people began to clap. He wasn't sure why Xavier had to introduce him to the crowd but he quietly indulged him. Xavier held his hands and raised them before the entire room, "This man is my savior, never have I seen a man so strong or powerful as he is," he said and the entire crowd clapped. Although Leon could see that not everyone clapped at that, some people merely stared at him skeptically, their eyes speaking evil. It wasn't going to be an easy task fitting into the elite society. "Do you have anything to say to the crowd?" Xavier asked but Leon shook his head. He wasn't ready for the show that Xavier was trying to put up. As much as he understood that the master was no doubt glad to be back in the social sphere and wanted to catch up on what he'd missed for the few years he was hospitalized. He didn't appreciate being introduced to a rook full o
Hands a little shaky, Leon took the paper from Xavier and stared at it like it was his little ticket to paradise. His eyes were wide and his lips parted in astonishment. He didn't expect it. Not only had the master thanked him enough, but he'd also made him known to a rook full of people who had no regard for him, now they all wanted to be on his side or fight against him. Either way, this only proves to Leon that he has suddenly gained prominence in the room. But being given half of anything he had? That was just beyond imagination, he wasn't sure how to react to such a grand gesture. "Are you sure? You don't have to do this," he said. Xavier smiled, "And this is exactly the reason I want to give you everything. You are so modest and your kindness is what baffles me, Leon, you deserve all this and more," he said. Leon looked at him, dumbstruck. He looked at the crowd and could see a mixture of anger, disbelief, and envy as spl as open admiration on their faces. Leon smirked at the
Leon held the shelf with his left arm and with the right, he picked up the old lady from the floor and she hastily moved away. He quickly leaned back and with it, the weight of the shelf which was on his shoulder leaned back too, going to its original position. He turned to his left and noticed that a small crowd had formed just at the center of the shopping mall. "Oh my God, you just saved my life," the lady said, grabbing her head as if to feel if it was still there. Leon handed her back her cart and nodded at her softly. Leon had just arrived at the mall that morning or picked up a few things when the unfortunate accident happened. The shelf at the left side of the mall fell over when one of the attendants tried to grab a back of cereal from up there. He had arrived just in time to save the old woman who was standing right under the can section from being badly hurt. Everyone was staring at him and the attendant quickly ran to the old lady to check if she was okay, then she grab
The bald man sat in the car with his beautiful daughter after a pot of noodle soup from the fancy restaurant. "I hate that place and the food, it makes me sick," Cassidy said as the driver rolled down the district slowly. "Anything for the client, darling," the bald man replied and tapped her on the cheeks. Oliver Paul was the owner of one of the most sought-after pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. Not only was his family wealthy and his business growing but he was also a pro at making deals and getting investors. After a long afternoon of conversing and trying to seal a business deal, his daughter had just successfully talked a German investor into making a contract with them and it was going to bring a lot of money soon. "How hard could it possibly be for them to get French fries and burgers? Huh?" The girl asked and rolled her eyes, pulling open her bag to pop some mint. She hated Chinese food and her father knew that all too well. But they also knew that anyone in the Paul
