Chapter 19:RLT (19)

Arriving back to the mansion, Pakura quickly served some soup for Sasuko. She also ordered the maids to fix an area for her to eat. Sitting outside within the garden, Sasuko looks around quietly.

"How do you feel?" Pakura asked Sasuko as she placed a bowl in front of her.

"Tired."

"Eat, then you can rest up okay? I'm very grateful that Andrew and Leon worked together to get you back."

"Did... they?"

"Heh, well then, when I see them again I'll make sure to thank them."

"Good. Now eat."

Nodding small, Sasuko takes takes the spoon and slowly starts eating. Pakura gently strokes her hair before walking away.

"Keep an eye on her." Pakura ordered two maids as she went back into the mansion.

~in the Tsunatsu house~

"Welcome back, bro." Xie said as Leon entered the house.

"Hey." He simply replied.

"So, who did you visit."

"Uh, your friend."

"Which one?"

"Sasuko."

"Is she okay!?"

"Yes... she is." Leon personally did not want to tell her what happened, for he knew Xie would overreact which can end up with an episode.

"Okay, well then I'll visit her maybe tomorrow if I'm not busy."

"Not busy?"

"Um... I'm going to go out with someone.."

"Who?"

"A... um... New friend!!"

"Oooh, okay."

"Heh..."

Patting her head gently, Leon walks away and calls someone. Xie sighs deeply before going to the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl and a spoon, she serves her two scoops of chocolate ice cream and one slice of strawberry cake.

Going to the living room, Xie sits on the couch and turns on the tv. Once she found her favorite show, she puts the remote to the side and start snacking on what she served herself.

Meanwhile, Leon had called his assistant to keep an eye on Xie tomorrow. He wanted to know who this "new friend" of hers was. Putting his phone to the side, Leon sits on his bed and goes on his laptop.

There were many emails that were unread. Sighing deeply, Leon started reading each of them, one by one. Suddenly, Leon freezes upon reaching a certain email. It didn't have to do with business, but instead it was a threat. From an unknown source, this person was practically threating Leon with his little sister.

This person wanted a classified document from another organization about a certain grim reaper. Doing so would just mean problems for Leon and his organization. But, yet again, not doing it meant Xie's life.

Thinking for a while, Leon grabs his phone and dials a number he wished to never call.
