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
In a dimly lit room in a basement somewhere, the butler is currently getting tortured for refusing to spill the information about his master.He was getting punch after punch in the face, making one side of his face completely swollen. “Are you still not going to talk, huh?” said the guard with gritted teeth.The butler hissed; “Even if you torture me to death, you will never get what you want from me!” he swore as he looked at them with sharp eyes.“Okay, you wish to die? Then we will grant it. Go to hell, useless old thug!” They continued beating him until his one eye was black and blue, and his mouth was bleeding due to the number of hits he had taken.The butler can barely open his eyes but the guards are ruthless. They will punish him severely until they force him to reveal his master’s whereabouts.“I will give you a chance to live if you tell me where your master is! Would you like to talk now?” said by one of the men in front of him.The butler groaned in pain, but the next mo
On the other hand, the disciples had also taken an oath to protect their master at any cost and that’s why, the butler had his lips sewn shut, no matter how much pain he was going through.It’s because he was there on the day of his oath ceremony. When Leon was born, shortly after his christening, his parents had made him the owner of the Ring and initiated his oath as the Master.With the floor filled with red—the butler’s blood; he crawled as he wiped the blood on his lips using his thumb, he laughed mockingly. “What a lame punches and kicks. How can you even call yourself a goon with those futile attacks? Are you a wimpy kiddo?” sneered the butler.The goons are shocked by his strong endurance. How can he stay arrogant after all the beatings that he took? This old thug is definitely not a normal person. He may be older but his endurance can surpass a man in his prime.“I believe in how faithful you are to your master. But it won’t take you to a good place. If you die in this place
The goons started attacking the butler again, whipping him with a leather whip this time. It looks like the goons are serious about what they said and that they will show him what the real torture is.One of them snorted, demanding; “Let’s see how long you can maintain your silence, old man!” These thugs grinned as they saw the butler twist his body in pain.“Hey, I’m sure he will speak up soon. Make sure to divide the money equally,” mumbled one of the goons, expecting to receive the reward from their boss.But instead of giving up and letting them taste the victory, the butler only scoffed and he said; “Do you really think that you can convince me like this? No, I will never tell you!”He was still consistent on his stand to keep his mouth shut about Leon’s whereabouts. They would not be able to force him to talk about whatever kind of pain they inflicted on him.One of the men, named Jax, stepped forward and tapped his friend’s shoulder; “Let me handle it, Drake. Step aside,” said
