Chapter 43: Onto The Next Mission
Next day...
"Thanks!Really...I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Rohan cried holding Leon's hands while the two kids hid behind and looked at Leon shyly.
"Don't behave as if I did something great. It's just a part of my work."Leon answered nonchalantly.
"Brother, will you leave," Samuel asked shyly.
"For now, ye..."
Leon's lips shut off seeing the kids with teary eyes.
"PleDon't leaveSniff''Stella started crying.
Leon flinched back feeling the two kids' eyes showering him with starlight.
"I will be in contact."
"Don't make things difficult for big brother. He had work to do."Rohan coaxed the kids.
After a brief headache, Leon assured them that he would keep in touch with them. It's not because his heart was too soft to refute but rather because of Stella.
He already swore in his heart that if the protagonist of Stella's route turned out to be Pedo, he would drill a hole in that guy's heart and head.
"Mr.Rohan, I want to talk."
Rohan nodded and leaving the kids in a cafe, moved with Leon to a separate place.
"Your kids don't look like you, and their names are also different."Leon got straight to the point without mincing his words.
"Haha! You are right, they aren't mine."Rohan acknowledged this without any embarrassment.
"They are the children of one colleague of mine who used to be a very good friend of mine. She disappeared but one day she came back and begged me to take care of them. Sadly, I wasn't able to refute her. Leaving the kids with me, she left again."
"You are unmarried," Leon asked.
"Yes!"Rohan answered shyly as Leon patted him a look that he understood the reason why he was single
Meanwhile, Leon held his chin giving an okayish look contrary to Rohan's expectations. He didn't pry into private matters like why didn't you marry etc...etc...
All his focus was on the mysterious woman.
'That woman might be a big shot. The mysterious background confirms that they might have something big. I should check on them.'
"If it's okay. Can you send me a pic of her? If I ever stumble upon her or get any information, I might be of some help."
"Thanks for going the extra mile for us."Rohan bowed his head in gratitude."Sadly, I don't have a pic of her now. I can send you later."
He used noise-cancellation foils on walls that created a sound-isolation room. A new invention of modern times.
"Do you know the name of the guy or what he does? Like is the whole group involved in this."
"No...No, I only know that guy who contacted me is Nathan."Jonathan let out a weak murmur.
"That's it. Are there others?" Leon asked for confirmation.
"I swear."
"That guy Nathan is a board member. He contacted me and made the deal that I would be in charge of shipping and get a 30% profit after the sale but just as we started to sell, that officer banned the medicines."
Leon also asked a few more things as he was quite interested in that group.
Leon had already foiled their plans. That didn't mean that they would give up, rather they would charge at him more aggressively as killing Jonathan was one thing but killing the Martial Grandmaster or that Grade 3 was another. Since he killed their guy they would surely look for them.
Secondly, he was interested in them.
How the fuck that guy reached Martial Grandmaster or that Grade 3 with no qi. He didn't even have Tier 9 veins when he checked. Leon wanted to research it as maybe it could be of some help as his veins were of the lowest tier.
His spiritual qi recovery rate is way bad that's why he engages in a physical fight to save qi to use later.
So before advancing to Grandmaster, he thought of finding a way to increase his spiritual recovery rate.
And it's not as if he has something important going on so he has time to look around.
Leon then patted Jonathan to calm him.
"Okay, I have troubled you enough."
"Thanks for your help. Now you can rest in peace."
"What..."
Jonathan wasn't able to finish his sentence as Leon slit his throat swiftly without giving him time to react.
Turning around, Leon called the people of the Blood Net.
"Hello!"
"It's Noel. I have finished my first mission. I think you have already received the info so can you raise my level to 1-Star now, so that I can get the Blood Net VIP treatment and check the list? And by the way, can you check if there is someone to kill from Marriott Pharmaceuticals."
"Give me a moment Sir..."
The other side of the phone fell silent and after a brief pause, she entered.
"There is"
"Who is it?"
"It's many. Almost all Directors of the Board along with important staff."
