THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER NUMBERING IS 136, SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE
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
Clueless about the situation, Leon chose to remain silent in his position. He still doesn’t know who this woman is and what danger she might bring to him. That’s why he needs to be careful interacting with this dangerous woman.Apparently, she was the one who stabbed Lord Rosenberg. That's why he suddenly fell on the ground, severely injured and barely able to talk aloud or move around.But why would the woman do that to Lord Rosenberg? What did the old man do to her? Leon wonders if Rosenberg was a great sin to the woman for her to do this horrible thing to the old man.Just then, Leon assessed the situation patiently. He was just observing the two people on the side, not doing anything that might get their attention. Most of all, he should not do anything that can prove the woman because there is a big possibility that she was also an enemy and doesn;t bring good news for Leon at all.“Who is this intimidating woman?” said Leon at the back of his mind, curious but can’t do anything
Hearing this revelation, Leon was left in awe. It was still a mystery to him how Lord Rosenberg’s wife hurt her own husband. Are they not on good terms?But Leon doesn’t want to gamble and ask the woman about it because she really looks scary and intimidating. Although, she was not doing anything yet to harm Leon.“Why…” That’s the only word that came out in Lord Rosenberg’s mouth. Apparently, it looks like that would be his last words before everything ends for him. His eyes were closed, and he was barely moving nor breathing anymore.“You don’t have the right to ask me why and on top of that, you don’t need to know anymore because you don’t have enough time in this world,” said Lady Rosenberg as her eyes were piercing at her husband.As Rosenberg coughs up more blood, Lady Rosenberg bends down, wiping the blood from her dagger with a handkerchief. “He was always a fool and it was his fault why this happened to him,” she continues, glancing down at her husband. “Thinking that brute
Lady Rosenberg is weighing the situation carefully because she doesn’t want to mess up the opportunity she can get by saving Leon.She knows that Leon is no ordinary man and he has all the capabilities to defeat her husband. That’s why even though Lord Rosenberg was hiding it from Leon, the truth is he already consumed more than half of his power. That's why he became gradually weak before the woman arrived in the scenario.The woman just smiled before she replied to his question. “Why are you asking me that? Do you think I will ask you to do something for me in return for saving you?” asked the woman, her voice was playful, although her eyes were still the same.It still looks scary and Leon knows that he should not do anything that can make the woman go in herself. Otherwise, his life will surely be at stake. Leon was still fortunate because Lady Rosenberg is going easy talking to him despite knowing that he was also her husband’s enemy.“It’s not like that but I’m just curious beca
