Chapter 297 - Revenge 298: Expectations

While Anna and Leon are arguing, someone from behind suddenly clapped. Anna turned around and saw her uncle Leonardo's smiling face. "I am quite pleased that your skill has improved, Anna. Don't feel down that Leon managed to pin you down first. After all, Leon's skill level is higher than yours. But that doesn't mean you won't be in that same level someday."

Since he has been busy with his work and the organization, Leonardo did not have the time to observe that twins' improvement. And he is pleased with the fact that they have improved a lot since the last time he saw their current state.

"U-uncle, y-you're here." Anna is shocked to see her uncle Leonardo and at the same time, her face is turning red. This is the first time her uncle Leonardo praised her.

Leonardo is the type of man who is hard to please. And getting his praise is enough to motivate Anna to more work to increase her skill level. Beside her grandfather, her uncle Leonardo is the man who she looks up to.

It's not because Leonardo is her mother's best friend, it's because of the achievements Leonardo has done. She grew up knowing all the great things about her uncle Leonardo, his achievements in the industry world and the underworld. She heard all of it.

"Yes. Yes, I'm here. Now, where is your brother." Leonardo looks around and he could not find a single trace of Aaron.

"He's not here at the moment, uncle," Anna explained everything to Leonardo. She told him why she and her brother take on this mission and what are their plans. As she does the talking, Leonardo can only nod his head.

If Leonardo were on the same shoes as the twins Leonardo would plan the whole thing differently. But it doesn't mean that the twins' plan is bad. In fact, he thinks that it is a good plan. There is a flaw to it, but it is understandable, Anna and Aaron are still considered to be a newbie.

Leonardo is about to make a comment, but Arion who still has his mask on, tightly held Leonardo's shoulder. "Leonardo, what is the meaning of this?"

The moment they saw Anna's face, Arion noticed that Leonardo is not shocked. It seems to him that Leonardo is expecting to see Anna in this place.

"What do you mean?" Leonardo acted as if he doesn't understand Arion's question. Leonardo can feel the pain on his shoulder. This time, Arion is truly angry at him.

"Don't act as if you don't know what I'm talking about! Leo! Why didn't you tell me that my children are here!" Arion is at the edge of wanting to choke Leonardo because of his anger, but he is angrier at himself. He ordered Leon to kill his own daughter.

He almost lost his daughter because of that. He is so thankful that Leon took off Anna's mask first before doing anything else.

"My... children?" Anna slowly repeated what Arion just said. Just staring at the angry man beside her uncle Leonardo, Anna suddenly felt nervous all of the sudden. She doesn't know why, but if she were to see the face behind that mask, she thinks that she might cry.

"You sly fox," Harrison spoke, referring to Leonardo. "I can't believe that this is happening right now." Harrison is at the state of being shocked and amused. What is happening in front of him is totally what he did not expect.

"You and me both, old man. You and me both." As for Leon, he also did not expect this to happen. He expected the family reunion to be dramatic, but not this kind of drama. 'Boss, what are you gonna do now?' Leon inwardly asked.

Harrison only took a glance at Leon, then continues to eat his food. He is just gonna stay on his spot and eat his food while watching the scene that is about to unfold.

Arion stared back at his daughter. He wanted to hug her and kiss her now. But the situation that they are in right now is inappropriate. He imagined countless moments of him and his family reuniting, but this is now what he had on mind. None of what's happening is what he had expected.

"Wait. Who are you? Why are you hurting my uncle Leo?" Leonardo might not say that he is in pain, but Anna can tell when someone is in pain just observing one's expression.

What is happening is very confusing for Anna, however, the most confusing part is the fact that her uncle Leo is not fighting against that man. The uncle Leo that she knows would never allow anyone to hurt him except for her mother and the others.

"I... I'm..." Feeling nervous, Arion is having a hard time letting his words out of his mouth. He wants to introduce himself to his daughter, but he is afraid that Anna will reject him immediately.

"Oh, for God's sake! Just take this damn mask off of you!" Impatience took over Leonardo and quickly removed Arion's mask.

Anna's eyes widened when she saw Arion's face. The same face that she only sees in pictures is now in front of her. She doesn't know what to react in this kind of situation. Anna has completely forgotten the reason why she in this building.

"Uh, h-hi?" Anna awkwardly spoke. She doesn't know what else to say to the man who is her blood father.

Arion stepped forward, then reaches his hand towards Anna, however, the moment Arion's hand is near Anna, Anna flinched. She shook her head and turn her whole body around. Her back facing Arion.

Anna covered her face with her hand, and spoke, "I'm s-sorry. E-everything is happening so fast. I... I don't know what to say and how to react. I-I'm very sorry." Anna is at the edge of crying. She wants to hug her father, but she is unable to because of her fear.

~~~

While Anna is having all sorts of emotions happening to her right now, her brother, Aaron, is currently still on the search for the computer room.

As he is on his search, he stumbles upon Juan's presence. Out of all people, why is Juan facing him now?

Aaron wanted to walk away from Juan and pretend that he didn't see him, but Aaron remembers that he is on the search for the computer room. And the only for him to find that place is to ask the dumb person in this building, Juan.

"Sir, someone from a higher position is calling for you in the computer room."
