20 New Leader

Beatrice was greeted by her uncle's men and was escorted to his room. She knocked on the door and said, "Uncle it's Beatrice!"

"Come in!" She heard his voice.

She came in to see her uncle's arm in a cast, "what happened to you?"

"Oh I got ambushed" Uncle Bob laughed awkwardly. "So why are you here Beatrice?"

"To check in on you... who did this?" She asked with worry in her cold eyes.

"I can't tell you Beatrice, you know I don't want to drag you into the underworld. I'm merely your teacher and protector" her uncle said with resolve. She knew her uncle could be stubborn on this topic so she wouldn't try to pry it. Instead she asked a question, "hey uncle do you know a guy named Leon Hanson?"

Her uncle Bob froze in place and looked at her with confusion, "why? Are you guys friends?"

"More or less yeah" she replied.

Uncle Bob sighed and looked troubled as he debating with himself if he should tell her the truth or not. "I do kind of know him, why do you ask?"

"I don't know... I just feel like he's not simple" Beatrice bend down to pet the black cat with brown spots.

"Well for a fact that he is a Hanson means he's not simple at all sweetie. How should I say this? The Hansons have a civil war right now and the person you mentioned, that person's uncle is the one attacking my territory" Uncle Bob answered.

"Civil war? And why is he attacking your territory for? All you own are clubs."

"Well clubs are the trend now isn't it. Now think about this, clubs are a place where people go to drink and party right? So if he were to take over the most famous club where all the hotties goes to, it's like a jackpot for his sex trafficking business."

Beatrice's eyes widened as she heard sex trafficking, how despicable! She was disgusted and thought about this civil war her uncle mentioned. "So what's the civil war about?"

"This guy is the oldest son of Chairman Hanson, if you're wondering why he didn't become the heir to the Corporation he's the oldest. It is because the guy's a lunatic, maybe even psychotic. The Chairman made the decision to have the crazy son work behind the shadows, while the younger one be the heir. Well, you can guess what happened from there" Uncle Bob described.

In short, the civil war was caused because the crazy thought he wasn't getting the same benefits, hereby wanting to destroy Hanson himself because he is the 'King' of the underworld.

"So you're saying, it's only his uncle that's targeting you and not Leon himself?" Beatrice asked to get clarification.

"Yes, I'm 90% sure this is the case. The Hansons never liked how he operated the organization using sex trafficking and organs trafficking, so they decided to cut him off. So this is his response" Uncle Bob lit up a cigarette.

"Can't you ask the Hansons for help? You're dealing with a psychopath here" Beatrice was worried. She knew her uncle was tough, but with an army of elite assassins, she doesn't think he could hold up with just one arm.

"If it gets dangerous then I will, I promise" his took a puff. "But for now I think I can deal with him. By the way congratulations on finishing your Nationals sweetie!"

"Thank you" she smiled and waved the smoke from her face. "Can you come to my graduation? Dress casually. Also stop smoking, you'll bust your lungs before you get your first kiss uncle."

"You damn brat! How dare you! I lost my virginity a long time ago! Before you were even born!" Uncle Bob declared.

Beatrice laughed as she escaped from his office, "see you in a month!"

Somewhere underground in an abandoned parking lot 6 km away from the center of City A, was a massacre.

Guns were firing off and the captives were screaming for dear life. Some fainted from intense anxiety, some were killed by gunshots, some were ducking the bullets and trying to find the exit. But nonetheless, blood was flowing like a river on the dirty floor as the metallic smell filled the air.

Leon was killing the people involved in the sex trafficking, his aura was terrifying as he killed. Meanwhile, Mark was cutting the captives' ropes that bind their hands and feet. It wasn't just the two that invaded the place, Leon took a troop of subordinates behind him.

Kicking the door open, Leon found the manager of the place in the fetus position. He tied up the man and decided to question him when they went back.

Some of the captives were dead as they were caught in the gun fire, but most captives were rescued and released. If they promised to never say anything about the rescuers. The sex trafficking survivors can't even talk about their rescuers as they wore face masks on their face, hiding their identity. But they promised anyway in order to get out of the hell faster.

In total, 34 people were killed in the underground parking lot. Leon didn't blink an eye looking at the bloodbath before him, instead he turned around to the manager... who passed out from fear.

How ironic, he manages a sex trafficking ring, but gets scared when he's captured instead.

"Clean this up" Leon ordered as he took out a handkerchief to clean himself.

"Yes, Young Master!" The subordinates went to work.

"Well, well, looks like you're the second best in the underworld now!" Mark clapped his bloody hands as he smiled.

"I'm appointing you as my second hand man" Leon said tossing the black gloves dirtied with blood.

"Awww I knew you loved me" Mark giggled and winked.

Leon dragged the tied up manager and drove back to the base along with Mark. He puts the dude inside one of the tortured chambers, arms tied up to the chair's armrest and legs to the chair's legs.

"You want to do the torturing? Find out where the other bases are" Leon said looking over Mark.

"Ew no! Get someone else!" He faked barf and looked at one of the men standing outside."Hey! Is Kian here?"

"Yes, he is. Do you want me to bring him?" The man in suit asked respectfully.

"Yes."

Kian was the torturing machine in the place. The man loves to see the pain on his victims' faces, a masochist.

Soon a fragile looking man with curly hair came into the torture chamber, "well what do you have for me Young Master?"

"Play with him all you want, but find out where the other bases are" Leon replied before taking off with Mark.

After the mission, his Master announced Leon to be the new Master of the Lions.
