Cat And Mouse
Everyone froze, eyes on the man as he grinned manically, staring at everyone present."You..." He spoke, staring at Leon."You're an anomaly," He continued, his gaze not leaving Leon for even a second."You're not supposed to exist," He growled, his eyes red, his arms shook attempting to free himself from the officer's grip."Quick, hold him down!" Camila yelled, immediately standing before Leon, glaring at the man.The officers holding the man immediately strengthened their grip, and the others also rushed to help, firmly pinning the man down."Officers, please take him away," Camila breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the man restricted."Sorry about that," The officers apologized and, without wasting a second, dragged the man out of the hall."Watch your back, Leon. You ruined our plans; we won't let you off!" The man's laughter echoed as he was dragged away.Leon frowned slightly, hearing this. It seemed like there was no way he would be able to achieve the peaceful life he had envi
The Officers Doubts
Instantly, the waiters in the hall froze, feeling the gazes of the crowd on them.Every single person in this venue was powerful enough to make their lives hell, and yet they were being targeted. But then, they knew nothing about what was happening.How were they going to explain?Leon also glanced at the waiters, his eyes like that of a hawk, scrutinizing every single one of them.And then, he saw him.A waiter who stood at the back, alongside other waiters, shaking, fear in his eyes, and probably had wet his pants, sweat covered him.But beyond that was a faint cold gaze that everyone would miss as it was disguised as fear.But Leon didn't miss it. There was no way he would miss something like this. Besides, the glint was not hidden well; he had dealt with people who had more acting skills than this."Tell us, who amongst you poisoned us?" Camila's cold voice sounded as she stepped forward, also observing the waiters.The guests had isolated them, so it was easy for one to observe e
Mass Poisoning
The next second, under the watchful gaze of everyone, the old lady gasped, as she opened her eyes."Grandmother!" Camila screamed, hugging Anna who was still gasping for air."Careful, she's not too good yet," Leon chuckled, pulling Camila away."Impossible," The doctor's eyes nearly flew out of their sockets as he rushed towards Anna.Bringing out his equipment, he began to examine her. A while later, he nearly collapsed as he couldn't believe what he had seen.The poison was all gone. How did Leon do it?Though the process looked simple on the surface, he could swear it was not simple at all."Grandmother, let me help you," Leon ignored the doctor, helping Anna stand."Leon," Anna called softly, feeling a wave of guilt in her heart."Yes, grandmother," Leon smiled gently, he didn't hold the old woman's disbelief on her.After all, even if he was the one, he wouldn't have believed it."I'm sorry for not believing in what you said," Anna said slowly."It's fine, grandmother, I underst
Treatment
The moment Leon said that, everyone blinked, staring at him, wondering what had gotten into his head."Sister..." Allen wanted to say something, but a glare from Camila shut him up."Leon, what are you saying?" Camila asked slowly, for some reason, she wanted to believe Leon.But she was the one who had arranged the banquet, and supervised everything, so how could the drink be poisoned."I....""Don't listen to his nonsense," One of the family members cut off Leon when was about to explain."Are you trying to say we'll dare poison our grandmother?""Or do you think Camila who organized this banquet didn't make sure everything was perfect?"Leon's expression shifted but he didn't say more. Seemed like that was the culprit talking.Though he wasn't really sure about it. But he had dealt with so many issues in the past that he knew how to identify a suspect easily."Sorry about that, you can carry on," Leon smiled and didn't say more.It would be pointless, if he continued to argue tryin
Poison
The hall fell silent, everyone stared at Leon incredulously, not believing their eyes.Allen's face burned, eyes red as he glared at Leon, wishing he could cut the latter into a thousand pieces.Camila, though shocked, smiled lightly. She had been a bit worried Leon would cave in to her brother's threat.But it seemed like she was thinking too much. Though a pauper, he seemed to have some backbone.Seemed like she had accidentally picked up a gem. Well, she wanted to see how far he could go."Good, very good," Allen broke into laughter, pulling everyone back to their senses."I like you,""But I don't," Leon shot back.Again, the hall fell silent, no one daring to say anything. And even Camila was shocked even more.He was just too straightforward.In truth, no one would like someone like Allen, but no one would dare say it to his face. Yet, her husband had done that."You..." Allen gritted his teeth, glaring daggers at Leon."You've successfully pissed me off," He forced a smile, his
Allen Ashford
"Miss Camila," James instantly broke out into a smile, hurrying up to Camila, approaching the scene slowly."I'm James, Son of Joe Parker," James continued, trying to flatter Camila as he stretched his hands out for a handshake.Camila stopped in her tracks, shot James a glance, then walked past him as if she hadn't seen him.Instantly, James' face burned, gritting his teeth as he tried to suppress the wave of embarrassment and anger that hit him.After all, Camila's status was far above his. He had to respect her no matter what.Taking in a deep breath, he turned around to see where she was headed only to freeze as she stopped by Leon."Are you good?" Camila spoke slowly, her voice low, but enough to send shock waves into the crowd.Who here didn't know Camila. She was a cold CEO, managing the Ashford companies in the city.Yet, she was asking a man of an unknown origin if he was okay.Katie blinked, as she couldn't believe her ears. What in hell was happening?How did that useless L
