"I am glad to see you alright, Jessica." Leon said.

"You came back?" She looked at him in awe.

"I wronged some people and I owe you. Even a thief should have some honor." He laughed, "You can stand?"

"Yes, I feel a lot better actually." She nodded and looked towards Jordi who was heating some food for her, "I just wished you never told him."

"Oh." Leon looked between Jordi and Jessica, "Don't push away your family."

"Listen, Leo. Ruth has the support of the Spider. He is a very fearsome and rich Boss and they will look for me. I don't want Jordi to be caught in this shit."

"Don't worry about it. We'll take care of Ruth."

"That's"

"Tonight." Leon said.

Leon's words were serious. He was serious. But he was ignorant.

"You can't." Jessica shook her head, "How do you think we were defeated?"

"The Spider?"

"Yes but that's not all. There is a subordinate of the Spider beside Ruth. Very powerful. Very scary. She just effortlessly it was terrible, Leo."

"Tell me more." Leon took interest in what she was talking about.

"I'll tell you." Jordi approached as he put the plates of porridge in front of them, "Let's just start by saying it wasn't a human."

"A Monster?" Leon frowned.

"What? No. It looks like a human but it is like not sure how to say this. Claws, fangs, eyes. Even the hair around her face didn't look human." Jordi said.

"A beast person?" At that time, Zal asked.

"I see." Leon nodded.

"Those are rare to see in these parts. They rarely come out of Udyrheim in the north." Zal said, "As you most certainly know. Those beast heretics are a mockery of the Light and Humanity."

Leon looked at Zal with a lag on his face. That was obviously racism just now.

"How would I know that I wonder?" Leon asked.

"Oh! Ooooh! Right." Zal looked at Jessica who wasn't informed that Leon is a so-called holy man or whatever.

Leon still looked at Zal with judging eyes. Jordi continued where he left off.

"That woman beast person was very agile. Flexible to the point it scared me. I hit under the stairway and watched it all." He said.

"How strong is she?" Leon asked.

"From what I saw, about the same as you." Jordi replied.

"What?" Jessica became taken aback, "Leo can't possibly be that"

"You want the truth?" Jordi looked at her then looked at Leon who nodded to him, "I saw him dispatch two dogs earlier this morning as if he was killing flies. No knives, no claws, no blood even."

"I knew he was good not this good though." Jessica replied.

"Just don't doubt him." Jordi said while trying to hold Leon in some esteem.

"Alright." She didn't figure out what they were up to but it was thanks to him that she was saved.

"Back to work, Zal." Leon said.

"Of course, sir."

Leon watched Zal run back to the painting he was recreating and before he gave his full attention to that, he turned at Jessica.

"Do you still have any of the men left?" He asked.

"Of course not." She replied, "Ruth killed some to scare the others and the rest escaped."

"She can kill in plain sight? Isn't the syndicate formed to prevent such chaos?"

"She doesn't care about chaos. Ruth is a bitch through and through. She killed our mother just because she was jealous. She went after anyone who would threaten her position and kept me as a whore just to make an example of any other whore who would defy her."

"And she never expected you would revolt?"

"She knew I would eventually. She was just always ready for me. After the Bull's disappearance, the laws of the district are bound to change until the other Bosses divide it among themselves."

"So the killing will spread unless?" Leon looked at Jessica expecting her to come up with an answer.

Sadly, Jessica shook her shoulders unaware of what more to do.

"Unless we fight Chaos with Chaos." It was then when Jordi spoke.

"Sounds ominous." Leon said, "Go on."

As Leon and Jessica looked at him, Jordi felt a little bit awkward as it wasn't like him to be a thinker but this was his moment to shine.

"When you asked Jessica about revolting against Ruth, an idea came to my head. Revolting."

"Hm?" Leon didn't really catch it.

"What?" Jessica, on the other hand, realized what Jordi was after.

"The Revolutionary Front."

"Oh!" Leon made an understanding face then a confused one, "You're talking about those people who go on protesting everywhere?"

"Yes, but those are just normal people." Jessica said, "The Revolutionary Front are the ringleaders of the protests. They are some sort of rebels who cause havoc to fuel up the protests and turn it into a revolution that fixes the people's lives."

"Oh! Freedom Fighters." Leon finally found the term.

"Hmmm kinda." Jessica and Jordi answered.

"Man! This brings back memories. Back when I was in business, countries would pay those so-called Freedom Fighters to wreak havoc in the enemy countries. The right term to use was Contracted Killers but whatever."

Leon scratched his chin and pointed to Jordi.

"Do you know any of those people?"

"Yes, they gather up in a certain saloon. A friend of mine works there."

"Alright. Go set up a meeting with one of their leaders with me. Tell them we want their manpower and in exchange, I will trade with them a very effective weapon that will shift the scales in their favor."

Jordi looked at Jessica and she wasn't sure what to say but she eventually nodded.

"Jordi." She called, "Also, go by Molly's house and see her husband. Tell him to go to the saloon and to tell her to make sure that the girls stay in their rooms no matter what happens."

"Alright." Jordi stood up, put on his cap, and walked out of the warehouse as the sun was setting.

"Can you walk?" Leon asked Jessica.

"Yes."

"Good. Rest up now and when the time comes, be ready to take over the Saloon." Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"We still didn't figure out what to do with the Spider." She said.
