Chapter 40 40:Madman On Rescue Mission

Stella and Samuel were coming back from school when a group of uncles surrounded them with friendly smiles and then, their vision suddenly became dark.

It was all dark with a group of vile people laughing loudly. The scent around the place was stale and uncomfortable, making them nauseous.

Except for a few drops of water to quench their thirst, they hadn't eaten anything. When begged for food, they were slapped and kicked in their face. Their eyes were crying but no tears were leaking from their eyes due to dehydration.

They prayed to god, and every one of them but their prayers remained answered.

All they had were each other to comfort and cuddle.

Night and day were all the same in this dark place, and when they thought that they would die......

In a world that had turned gray, an image of a gentle warm radiating smile added a bit of tint before them.

The warm touch was so comfortable that it almost melted them wanting to embrace it more.

Leon, out of everyone, knew what those eyes wanted.

Assurance and Safety....

"Your father asked me to bring you out."

"F.....Father..."

The colorless eyes of the two brightened a bit.

"R...Really..."

The girl named Stella asked with a hoarse voice.

"Yes really," Leon answered softly. At first, the two flinched back from his touch but then finding comfort their eyes shone with greed to want more.

"Will you save us?"Samuel's voice choked.

"That's why I am here."

"Pinky promise."Stella and Samuel asked, raising their pinky fingers.

It may seem odd for them to trust a stranger appearing out of nowhere but only those who have slumped into the flood of bitterness know the feeling when someone rekindles the hope.

"Pinky promise."Leon wrapped his finger around the smaller ones with a chuckle.

They were around 7, perhaps 8. A bit older than him when he went through that tragic incident.

Leon knew he couldn't overpower a whole group that had hostages. So, he planned to talk business by introducing him as Rohan's enemy and letting him see the kids first as if they were already dead, the mission was already a failure.

Unexpectedly, it was much easier to reach here.

Before beginning, he decided to comfort the kids first to alleviate their trauma as much as possible. Such circumstances leave a long-lasting memory.

However....

He was startled to see the information panel. Though Leon couldn't see power, his eye caught the sight of a cute naive girl who turned out to be a heroine.

Name:Samuel

Age:8

Realme:None

Name:Stella

Age:8

They saw a mound of dismembered piling upon one another. The faces of the dead were still opened wide with an expression of immense shock and fear haunting them. The trail of blood flowed thickly dyeing the entire floor.

Before it stood a bloodied man, holding an axe and lodged it onto a man's head cracking his skull, then applying a little pressure he pulled it away scattering the gray matter of the man.

"Che! Why so weak?"

"Add MSG to your diet next life,"

"AAGH!"

The man then abruptly turned his hand towards them with a cracking sound making them flinch back in horror. Their bodies had been frozen seeing the scene and one of them directly fired a few shots....

The light flickered and as it appeared, the bloodied man figure was missing....

"Where did he go?"

"Gh...GHOST!"Someone yelled loudly creating seeds of panic.

"Shut up! There are no ghosts in the world, "The man at the front who fired spoke confidently but as he turned back, his voice struck his throat seeing the bloodied face giving a blood-

curdling smile.

BOOM!

The man was hit with such force that his head was ripped off and hung down with a little flesh attached to his neck.

"Shoot!''

By that time Leon held the man as a shield and slammed the other in close, not giving them a chance to aim for him.

"Keke!"

His laughter grew louder as the opposite side started firing a few shots but they missed as Leon was already on the move.

Soon the sound of firing and an eerie laughter filled up the entire place.

........

Jonathan in his room stared deadly at the appearance of the newcomer.

The man emitted a violent aura and sat before him acting like his boss. Jonathan wanted to beat that guy but he was stronger than him.

"Jonathan, why isn't the work accomplished?"The burly bear man asked in a threatening tone.

"Brother Joe, Rohan is an officer with a high post. Killing him won't end the matter as we don't know who will take the post. It would be good if the next guy was a loose fit but if he turns out to be an oddball practitioner or someone with backings, things are gonna be troublesome."Jonathan answered.

"I don't care."Joe roared, slamming his fist on the table and smashing it into tatters.

"I just want results. You have one day to finish it."

"Calm down, I have already kidnapped his kids. He would soon come and beg us to free them."

"What if he hired someone to rescue them?'Joe asked with a solemn expression.

"Haha hahaha! Don't worry, which idiot would take this job for a mere $500..."

BOOOOOOOM!

Even before Jonathan could finish his sentence, the wall behind him was smashed into tatters.

Dust and debris enveloped the room in which a man bathing in blood maintaining a friendly smile, walked in.

"I heard you were talking about me. Now that I am here, why don't you say it straight on my face?"
