Royal Return Of Leo Luke

Chapter 8

Melissa and Leo sat in the backseat of a silver Benz.

“Mr. Leo, this is the royal family’s honor crest. I'll love you to have this as a sign of recognition, you've been a great, useful help to us today! It's a thing to remember!" 

“With this, you will be treated as an honored guest in any event held at the palace and outside, you will be a VIP and you will be treated as such. I haven't forgotten my promise of marrying you as well, you know, you're such a nice, cool guy, don't know why your ex-wife let you go.”

“Princess, I don’t need this.” Leo shook his head. He sensed if he collected, it would look like he's greedy or saved the king because of what he'd gain. 

“Don’t worry, Leo. This is just a personal gesture,” Melissa said with a smile. "You need to accept it for memory's sake!" 

“That’s very kind of you, Princess. Thank you very much.” Leo bowed and accepted the card.

This was a golden gift with a diamond glass over it. Since it was a gift from her, it would come in handy. As they were talking, the car suddenly pulled over. The driver stopped and fled leaving Melissa confused, same with Leo. 

At that moment, two black Lexus swept by. They blocked the black G-wagon in the front and rear. More than eight men got out of the car, looking so tall and rugged with eye patches like sailors of ancient days who were believed to have lost one eye. They approached the car, armed with weapons, and others with covered faces. A bald, burly man who seemed to be the leader set his foot on the wagon's bonnet.

Brandishing his knife, he threatened, “Princess, my boss wants to meet you. We will escort you.” She could now see they were Vikings, a popular class of hired assassins who worked under their boss. The cops, except SWAT, were afraid of them. 

“How bold of you to hijack my car!” Melissa growled, fearless. She emitted a stately aura befitting a future queen.

“We wouldn’t have dared with all your bodyguards around. However, they are now at the hospital guarding the kind. We are receiving steady info, doesn't that sound creepy to you?" He twisted his lips. "Luck ran out of you today and you're with your little powerless bodyguard." 

"How could we pass this precious opportunity by?” the bald guy smirked.

“Well, you do have some brains in that numbskull of yours to bribe my driver to give you information, doesn't that sound childish? However, please satisfy my curiosity. Who’s your boss?” Melissa asked calmly, clapping her hands.

“You will know once we get there! Now, will you get off?” the bald guy urged. "Get out of your free will or we will force you." 

"How stupid and risky that will be, have you forgotten who you are talking to? Should my men come for you, you will be mutilated bodies, scampered all over the street, a free food for the vultures!" 

This got the men so angry, their eyes inflamed, getting so red like it was being set on fire. 

“You have no right to order me around!” Melissa continued, not even making a single shift. 

“Since you are proving too difficult, we will show you we aren't here to joke and who gives a fuck as to who you are?" The leader made signals to his men, calling on them to advance. As he was going to smash the windscreen to bring her out, Leo opened the door and got out. Melissa was scared that he might be attacked. 

“Princess, your boy toy has no guts. See, he even wants to run and you're still inside. You better come out, kneel before us and we will spare you!"

Melissa was so pissed, how could she do that, a whole princess, this mockery was going too far. 

“You have five seconds to leave here!” Leo warned. The men looked at him with disgust, murmuring angrily to themselves. 

"Go to hell! We are sure you haven't taken any food. A hungry and poor man like him wants to challenge us!" They laughed with each other. 

Before their leader could finish his sentence, Leo dealt him a serious blow on his face. The overwhelming pressure almost dislocated his jaw. He staggered back, stars spinning around his head and his eyes turned.

“Fuck! Kill him!” He shouted at his men. 

The other men immediately rushed toward Leo with their weapons in hand. Leo faced them fearlessly. He weaved through the crowd, his movements as light as a feather. Each time someone came within arm’s length, he struck out heavy punches. It was almost like magic. 

After a few loud cracks and cries of pain, the men fell over one by one. None remained standing after receiving a slap from Leo. Beating up more than eight muscular men who weren't even his size in height and weight, was a very great surprise. The bald man was scared badly. Never in his dreams would he have thought that such a man could beat him up, no one has ever beaten him up before. He wanted to know what type of man he was. 

“Interesting.”

Melissa ’s eyes shone with interest, a slight smile playing on her lips. She replaced the handgun she had lying in her bag. Initially, she thought that Leo was going to have some trouble taking down a group of bloodthirsty men by himself. Who knew that he was such a capable fighter? He was much more skilled than even her trained bodyguards.

"Such a handsome, strong man!" She exclaimed to herself, making sure not to let him hear. She remembered her promise to marry him should he heal her dad. 

“Stop! Stand back!” The bald man pleaded for his life as Leo approached him. “Don’t come near me! I will make you pay—”

Before he could finish, Leo landed a punch on his abdomen. The man threw up blood, sinking to his feet. He was now the one kneeling before Leo, the same thing he asked him and Melissa to do. 

“He’s all yours, Princess. What should I do to him?”

Leo stepped aside.

“Thank you.” Melissa nodded and stared down at the bald guy. “Tell me, who’s your boss?”

Sweat running down his forehead, the man hesitated.

“Are you not going to tell me?” Melissa smirked and picked up a knife from the ground. She held the blade against his neck and threatened, “I shall have to torture you slowly until you confess then, he's done with his, I'm.l next!”

With that, she raised her arm and swung.

At the last moment, the bald man screamed, “Please don’t kill me! I’ll tell you everything! It’s Kann Ben of the Vikings Group!”

They started as a great business organization but later turned it into an assassination group with deadly men. 

His life was more important than his loyalty right now.

“As expected.” Melissa smiled. “Return and inform Kann that I’ll remember this! When I have some free time, I’ll visit him. Get lost right now!” She growled at him. 

This man and his colleagues who were lying seemingly dead on the ground got up immediately and took to their heels, even leaving their cars. They were running for their lives. 

“Princess, you need to be more cautious next time. All bad things happen in just a day!,” Leo warned.

“Kann Ben is just a crazy bastard. However, he has strong allies backing him up. I’m not going to do anything about this yet. I'll plan well before going to ask him what's going on!" 

Melissa narrowed her eyes. It would be rash to attack right now. She would take all of them down in one blow with Leo!

“As long as you have a plan, that’s alright.” Leo nodded.

"Leo, you've done so much, more than expected, I have no way to pay you back.” Melissa fluttered her eyelashes sexily, running her hand through her hips.

“It’s no trouble at all,” Leo replied carelessly.

“No, we owe you too much! I must return the favor!” With that, Melissa shot him a sexy smile whining her body gently like a slow motion snake. 

“Can I repay you first of all with my body before we marry?”
