Return to Monharvest

Ch 10: Bloody Night

Bella was truly surprised when she found Leon wasn't in the room. She had just thought about creating some distance between herself and Leon, but the reaction she was showing now was like a mother who had lost her child.

She searched every corner of the room and in the bathroom, but still couldn't find Leon there. She frantically left the room, calling a nurse to find Leon's whereabouts.

…

The sky of Huston city tonight was decorated by a heavy downpour. Flashes of lightning occasionally flashed, illuminating Shaun Murph's extremely luxurious residence like a palace.

In the family room, Shaun was seen sitting on the sofa with an annoyed expression.

"Fuck!" he exclaimed, slapping the glass table in front of him. "Who is that guy, really? Why could you lose to him, huh?!"

Uncle Xiao, who felt that the sharp question slightly offended his pride, then replied, "I don't know either. I've never seen him before."

He then piled his palms on his buttocks, while walking slowly back and forth with an anxious expression. He was very curious about who the young man was and what method he used so he could get abilities like that.

"It seems like he has a trick to defeat me," Uncle Xiao continued.

"Nonsense! Clearly, he only has a little spiritual aura. Even to embark on the path of cultivation is not enough."

"There's an ancient way that can significantly increase strength in just a short time, namely drinking a sky-level demon pill. Not only strength, but the body's resistance will increase rapidly even if that person isn't a cultivator."

After tightening his fist and sighing deeply, Shaun replied, "You mean, he ate that rare and dangerous pill just to save a slut like Bella, then offended the Murph family? Is there such a stupid person?"

Uncle Xiao was silent for a moment, digesting the words Shaun had uttered. Consciously, he also doubted what he had just said.

Such a precious pill could only be made by alchemists whose cultivation realm had reached Amplification. Even in the Murph family, the only one who had reached the Amplification realm was Elder Tom, Shaun's great-grandfather who was currently doing secluded cultivation.

Even though it was very precious because it could increase strength and also extend lifespan, this pill had a fairly ferocious effect, namely destroying the divine soul if hit by a counterattack. In the trading market, the pill was valued at one trillion dollars per pill.

"Aaaah! I don't want to know. He dared to humiliate me and force me to kneel. If he doesn't die today, then my last name isn't Murph anymore."

Uncle Xiao sighed while showing an expression as if he was thinking about something.

"I'll take care of—"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt the presence of very strong energy around him. He widened his eyes slightly, then ran his gaze to the surrounding area.

"What's wrong?" Shaun asked, confused by Uncle Xiao's expression.

KRACK!

At the same time, the sound of lightning broke in the air, clearly heard in the room.

"Who's that? Come out!" Uncle Xiao exclaimed.

Shaun became even more confused. "What's wrong? Who do you mean?"

"I feel evil energy around here," Uncle Xiao replied.

Shaun also tried to investigate the surrounding area. However, he didn't feel anything.

"Kill me? Huh. Are you capable?"

Suddenly, a heavy voice was heard from the second floor, making both of them immediately turn around and slightly tilt their faces up.

KRACK!

The rumble of thunder broke the air again. The lightning entered through the windows and vents, highlighting Leon's muscular body that emitted a reddish-black aura.

"You?" Uncle Xiao muttered in surprise.

He was silent for a moment, looking at Leon carefully. Leon's sudden arrival and accompanied by lightning looked like a death-reaping ninja.

"You?" Shaun spoke, then began to regulate his expression, swallowing slightly. "Si-since when have you been there?"

Shaun's face looked panicked as his gaze was focused on Leon. Imagining Leon's previous strength made him not dare to show his horns.

"Um... I mean, m-maybe you misheard. We weren't talking about you. I mean—"

"Shaun?" Uncle Xiao nudged Shaun's arm slightly. He whispered, "I feel something strange about this man. He's not the person we met before."

Upon hearing that, Shaun's expression changed instantly. His fearful expression disappeared, replaced by the arrogant face he often showed in his daily life.

"Damn it! Who are you really? How dare you impersonate that person!"

Shaun's sudden reaction instantly surprised Uncle Xiao. In his gaze, it was as if he was saying, 'What are you doing?'

Currently, Leon, who was under the control of the heart demon, wasn't showing his spiritual energy. The lights on the second floor had also been turned off since his presence there. So, Shaun couldn't feel the danger in front of him clearly.

"Shaun... wait."

Uncle Xiao immediately warned him. However, Shaun brushed off Uncle Xiao's hand.

"What? How dare this man enter my house without permission. Uncle Xiao? Finish him!"

For a moment, Uncle Xiao swallowed. This figure wasn't something he could handle. In fact, the aura that the man emitted was very strong, far stronger and crueler beyond the Leon they had met before at the hotel.

Initially, Uncle Xiao assumed that the Leon they had met at the hotel practiced a demonic technique so he could become like now. However, he wasn't sure because his feelings told him that the man in front of him was someone else, not Leon.

"Shaun, sto—"

Uncle Xiao had just wanted to stop Shaun, but in one breath, fresh blood spurted into the air and splattered on his face and clothes.

His body froze instantly, his eyes widened. At that moment, Shaun's body seemed to collapse, while his head floated in the air and then fell rolling on the floor.

"Sh-shit!" Uncle Xiao muttered, with a body that felt numb.

The speed of the man was very terrifying. He didn't even have time to predict the man's movements, who suddenly appeared near him and beheaded Shaun very easily.

"You lowly creature! Huh. You don't even meet the qualifications to kill me," Leon said coldly, while showing his spiritual aura that even made Uncle Xiao's soul tremble.
