The guards were on stand-by, ready to strike their weapons to Leon once he made any move that could cause harm to their master.However, the discussion between the two is still ongoing and no one would like to be intimidated no matter how powerful they seemed to appear with one another.“If you think that I allowed you to negotiate with me, you are wrong. I know that you don’t have any advantage with me so you better dig your own grave and prepare to die!” Lord Rosenberg taunted as his eyes sharpened like a beast.“Who told you that I want to negotiate with you? I said I want my daughter back and I’m not accepting any bargain when it comes to my demand,” said Leon with an authoritative voice.But Lord Rosenberg just hissed as if he was making fun of him. “You are demanding of me? Where did you get the audacity, huh? You don’t even reach above my level so learn to be humble and respect the people who have higher positions than you!” the old man snarled with gritted teeth.Leon’s lips r
There was nothing more amusing than this for Lord Rosenberg. It’s been a while since he has been entertained like this since he started hiding in this secret place.Also, there is no equivalent amount for the entertainment Leon was giving him so the old man wanted to tease him even more.“You know what, you should not say that. Do you even know how long you will stay here?” There was a small grin that formed in his lips.It was playful but apparently it has an ulterior motive. He thinks that when Leon gets impatient, he is likely to do impulsive things. And that was what Lord Rosenberg wanted to witness from him.“Well, that will depend on your performance. But I will make sure that I will leave this place with my daughter, alive and kicking. I will let anyone hurt me or my daughter,” said Leon with so much confidence.He was talking as if he can already predict the future. But he was not so sure about Lord Rosenberg's next moves because he didn't know what was running in this cunning
Apparently, this was what Leon was waiting for from the beginning. He made sure not to waste time and focus on preparing for this face-off with Lord Rosenberg.But he didn’t expect that his world was almost shaken up the moment the battle started. It was just the beginning yet the power that Rosenberg holds was already evident.“Do you think you can scare me with that? Let’s settle this for once and see who is going to win in the end. I will never back down!” Leon swore at the top of his lungs.He launches the power of the magical stones he has and he wants to make sure that he can counter all the forceful strikes from his opponent. It will not be an easy battle but at least he wanted to make sure that he would be able to match up with Lord Rosenberg.But the old man just smirks, waiting for the perfect blow that will definitely shake Leon’s world.“Let’s see if you can still act arrogant once you fall under my spell,” said Lord Rosenberg, smirking and memorizing all his opponent’s mov
It was very unlikely for Leon to get exhausted easily at this battle. Perhaps most of his energy was already drained because he used it on his previous battles with Lord Rosenberg underlings.“Dang, why is my body not cooperating with me this time?” he mumbles, the disappointment in his voice is evident.Seeing him struggling while his knees were getting weaker and weaker, Rosenberg's lips rose as if he had already expected this to happen. “You know what, you are letting me down. This is not what you are talking about. Is this the amount of power the heir of the Tarlose family has?” the old man sneered, mocking Leon for getting wobbly.Surprisingly, Rosenberg was entertained. It seems that he likes seeing his opponent struggling to fight toe to toe with him because in this way, his confidence is getting boosted.“Can you stop mentioning the Tarlose name? You don’t have the right to disrespect our bloodline nor worthy of mentioning the name. Have a shame!” Leon spats as if he was very
Leon raised an eyebrow when he realized what this old man meant to say. Indeed, Rosenberg doesn’t care about other people because he only cares about himself and he doesn’t mind sacrificing even his relatives.That fact makes Leon stare at him with a disgusted face. “What the heck? Are you saying that I need to sacrifice one of my loved ones?” asked Leon in disbelief.His jaw almost drops and he can’t believe that Lord Rosenberg is such an evil person that he could be able to do this kind of thing in his own family.“What else? Are you so dumb to understand it? You know what, being so attached to other people can lead you to danger. Don’t you know about that?” said Lord Rosenberg, his eyes were hypnotizing and Leon should avoid his gaze at all costs.“Well, I don’t care about your beliefs. I will never sacrifice any of my loved ones no matter what happens. They were the reason why I was doing my best to defeat my enemies. So why would I do that?” said Leon confidently.Lord Rosenberg
Leon refused to believe what Lord Rosenberg had told him. He has a guts that he was just hiding his daughter from him but he was just pretending that the little girl was gone already.In this case, Leon knows that it will be extra difficult for him to convince this old man to bring out his daughter. Nevertheless, he will still try his best and will never give up because he made a promise to Emily that he will come back with Sarah.Lord Rosenberg hissed, his eyes showing disappointment. “And how can you be so sure about that? Do you think I can’t kill that kid once I already got what I need from her? I thought you know what I’m doing to useless people around me?” he asked, and a little grin formed on his lips.At this time, Leon’s heart throbbed. Rosenberg could do that and it makes him nervous all of a sudden. However, he makes sure that he won’t show any fear in his face because if the old man sees him getting afraid, he might grab the opportunity to use his weakness against him.Leo
Leon had nowhere to go and he was also restrained from making any movements. How would he be able to protect himself if he can’t control himself anymore?Moreover, most of his remaining energy is getting drained too and it looks like he just fell into a rabbit hole at this moment.“I can’t breathe… Somebody help me please…” Leon’s voice is getting lower and lower. He was turning pale and he looked weaker than ever before.At this moment, he was in despair, hoping that someone would come and save him from Lord Rosenberg’s hands.Suddenly, Morrison’s face pops up in Leon’s mind while he was in agony. He wanted to seek help from his teacher but he can’t even open his mouth to speak due to lack of energy.If he can only call his teacher, perhaps he will be saved from this situation. But it seems that Rosenberg has already planned this before they even meet on this day. “Are you saying something, poor boy? I can’t hear you. Is this the Tarlose bloodline that you are proud of?” Despite Leo
Leon was already on the verge of giving up, he already lost hope that he could save himself or have someone to come and help him in this kind of situation.His eyes are almost close, conceding and hopeless. If he can only turn back the time, he wishes that he spends more time and longer days with Emily and Sarah making sure that every moment and memories will forever stay in his heart and mind."I’m sorry, Emily... Sarah... I couldn’t protect you. I don’t think I can fulfill my promise at this time," Leon whispers to himself, the weight of his failure crushing him as he feels darkness come over his eyes. As his eyes slowly closed, he saw a shadow of a woman. The woman is coming to him, trying to help him get up.“Leon, hold my hand. It was not yet the time for you to say goodbye in this world…” said the woman, her voice is familiar to Leon but he can’t see her face clearly.“Who are you… Your voice seems familiar…” said Leon with a hoarse voice, his mind was telling him to rest but t
