“There is more they can do with my blood? Can you explain it to me, please? I want to learn everything about it,” Leon was curious. He thought that the teacher from the Rosenberg family had already told him everything he needed to know about the ring. But it turns out that much of the hidden information is yet to be revealed. Indeed, the ring of Apollo is a one-of-a-kind artifact.“Not just that, but the Rosenberg family has been close to the Ring for generations, it is natural that someone developed the temptation for the ring,” Lord Morrison explained.Leon frowned, he became more confused instead of getting the clarity that he wanted. “How did that happen? I thought the ring was given to me by my parents. Isn’t it owned by the Tarlos family?” he asked. These are the things that the butler told him when they first met.“Of course, they are your patron family. Have you forgotten about it? They also have a close connection with the ring even though it was meant to be possessed by yo
On the other hand, when Lord Rosenberg had just plunged his sword through the place where Leon’s heart was, his sword just passed through thin air.He is baffled and there is much confusion in his face. “What the heck!” The force with which he had swung the sword made him lurch forward almost losing his balance as he looked around in confusion.“Where did he go?” Lord Rosenberg can’t believe that Leon managed to escape from his near death.One moment, he was frightened for his life, just standing in front of him, barking like a chihuahua, and the next moment, he vanished completely like a bubble in the air.All his men were just as bewildered and lost. They are wondering how Leon who looks weak would be able to do that kind of supernatural ability.Meanwhile, Marcus was furious because it seemed that Leon was able to trick him. On top of that, Emily and Sarah have also vanished together with him.“Emily and Sarah! What happened? Where did they all go?” he yelled. He was so frustrated
Leon is baffled by what the man has said. “But why am I not allowed to know what is this place? Are you hiding the truth from me somehow?” He was confused. He can’t help but be skeptical of this mysterious man. He just introduced himself as his professor Alpha. However, he was uncertain of this man’s true identity. What if he is also an enemy pretending to be an ally? He was already sick of people he trusted the most but still dared to betray him. These are people with fake faces indeed. His trust issues make him anxious.“Seems like you don’t trust me fully yet. But do you want to make sure that you and your friends will be safe in this place? If yes, then you must listen to me if you still want to stay alive,” the man was serious.Leon looked at Emily and Sarah. They are both frightened by their current situation. He can’t afford to be selfish that’s why he has no choice but to listen to what this man says for the time being.“I get it. Please let me know what should I do to prote
Leon was completely confused. He can’t decode the mystery behind this place. “Oh no, is this another sort of a trap that the man has set up?” he was clueless.“In fact, I was wasn’t sure about Morrison—I mean Professor Alpha,” he corrected himself. He remembered what the man had reminded him about not thinking or calling him by his name.He doesn’t clear his true intentions with him. He was from the Morrison family which the butler had mentioned before. Apparently, that man is close to the Tarlose family and he was his parents’ friend. Leon can’t see any reason for this man to trap him with Emily and Sarah in this kind of place.“What is going on here?” Leon was still puzzled. He has not settled the issue with the Rosenberg family yet the Morrison family has added to his problems.Speaking of that Rosenberg, the butler had asked him to ask that family for help. However, instead of offering him help, what did the Rosenberg family do? He found out that they just plan to manipulate him
He tried his best to stay composed. “Yes, Emily, you do. You know that I will never let anyone, even myself, hurt either one of you. That’s all you need to know in order to trust me,” he said seriously.It seemed that Emily was flustered by what he said. Her mind flashed back to how Leon had bravely punched the mutt and taken a stand for them against Watt, despite being in the hospital himself.How he had saved her that night from Bale’s villa and also from the kidnapping. She felt a little guilty of the things she had said when she had forgotten about his sacrifices for a while.“Okay, since I have no other option right now, fine. I’m trusting you,” she finally said. Leon smiled in relief. He was glad that Emily seemed back to her senses again. He can’t afford to let her think badly about his intentions. Leon knows within himself that his intentions are pure and he never thought of harming either one of them.He turned around with a relieved sigh. “I get it, please don’t stress your
Leon was cleaning the table where they had just finished supper. They had a great meal after all they had been through since the kidnapping incident.“Thank you for the food, Emily. I really like them, they are all delicious,” Leon complimented her cooking. Emily had made some soup and sandwiches. The simple food felt like a feast in these conditions. “Don’t mention it. I’m also glad we had a chase to have some food at least,” Emily simply replied.Leon just smiled and continued what he was doing. However, it seemed that he was lost in thought, as Professor Alpha had forbidden him from thinking about him or his whereabouts. Although he can’t help to think about him sometimes, he chooses to understand him and he obeys the instructions he gives before he leaves at all costs.But why his previous life too? Did he know about his ex-wife and everything that happened before? It suddenly comes to his mind. “Was it possible?” he sighed.His thoughts are currently disintegrated but he tries
For a moment, Emily was caught off guard by his sudden movement and felt herself frozen in her place. There is a strange feeling rising in her chest.But the next minute, she understood that he must be freaking out. “Did you have a dream?” she asked softly.Leon then realized what he did and he was a bit embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Emily. I didn’t mean to do it,” he apologized for wrapping his arms around her waist. It was an aggressive gesture and he might scare the woman. But Emily just smiled. “It’s okay, Leon. We’re okay. Whatever you had seen in your dream, it was not real,” she told him with a calm voice.Just then Leon seemed to realize what he was doing and he immediately let go of her which he should have done a while ago. He winced and looked so apologetic but Emily just shook her head as if it was a sign telling him that it was fine with her and there was nothing to worry about.“I haven’t ever seen my parents in my life, or at least not that I remember. But I had a dream wh
Just when they talked about the butler, Lord Rosenberg wanted to take immediate action. He called the four best among his elite guards, he must send his order as soon as possible.With his command he tells his men; “I choose the four of you because I know you were the best among my elite guards. Now, you must listen to what I see and don’t ever dare to let me down. Understand?” He looked so determined about it.The four men stood up and looked at him straight in the eyes. “Yes, Lord!” They chanted in unison. This is their opportunity to claim their master’s trust and secure their jobs for the Rosenberg family.“Okay, listen. I want you to find that butler of the Tarlose family. I don’t care wherever he was, you must bring him to me no matter what happens. You must do your job well this time!” he ordered.He has been disappointed by their recent service because they don’t prove their worth. They can’t bring a piece of good news to him so he thinks that they are just useless puppies and
