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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

Why is Elsa being taken away?" One of them asked. "I don't understand.

Leon shook his head at Fiona, telling her that she shouldn't say anything unless the investigations are over.

    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
