224 chapter 25

After taking in a moment to process the information he received from the lady in front of him, Leonard went into deep thought and began to think of his next plan of action.

"What is my priority…" he mumbled in a low tone of voice as he ignored the lady.

"I ask you once again, who are you affiliated with?" she glared dagger at him.

"Does having some dealing with the Zaluchi count as having an affiliation?" Leonard asked after the rude interruption he received.

*clank the dagger dropped as she heard Leonard answer, however she quickly picked it up with haste and hide it her apron.

"You're affiliated with the Zaluchi? What are doing here? Don't you know that it's dangerous for the people of the Zaluchi family to be here? The moment the Corleone discover your where about, they will feed you to the fishes." she told him.

"Wow, I didn't know the relationship between the two family is that...bad?" he commented.

However, from afar the sound of moving vehicle drawing ever closer.

"Oh no...they've come, you need to hide...now!" the woman freaked out as she could hear the noise of rumbling vehicle from down the street.

"What? Why? Is there a need for that?" Leonard was confused.

"My son just picked you up and carried you over from one of their hideout after you made a bloody mess at their place, don't you think that they might have picked up the trail and traced it back to this place? It's especially worse when that gathering spot belonged to one of the more cruel and ruthless bastard of the Corleone!" the woman stopped and grabbed Leonard hand and dragged him into her house and pulled up a hidden trap door beneath a carpet and kicked him down into the dark basement below.

"Hey! You don't have to be so forceful you know!" Leonard complained as his body still feeling weak and couldn't resist her.

"Shut up, just hide down there, try not to make any noise, else you're going to end up dead, and so will us!" she grinded her teeth and shut the door and pulled the carpet over.

Leonard waited down in the dark cellar of the house like a good boy.

"What the hell is this place?" he was curious as it was dark and cramp, he quickly extended his index finger and turned it into an artificial magic lighting lamp.

"(ಠ_ಠ) ...what … the… hell?" Leonard was stunned at the sight of what's around him.

Racks filled with guns from the size of small arms such as pistol, all the way to large arms such as semi-automatic and automatic rifles lined up.

Next to those weapons are boxes with piled of ammunition, from his guess, if he were to combine everything from within this cellar, it would be enough to wage a small scale war.

To make matter worse, there's even grenade and other improvised explosive devices.

This began to made Leonard questioned.

"Who the hell is this lady?" Leonard was shocked by the sight, even this amount of weapon is too much of an overkill for a person to have, even if it was the apocalypse and this city was run by mobsters and other lowlife of society.

He silently went over to an old AK-47 and picked it up before digging around in the ammunition box and pulled out a fully loaded magazine and put the both of these items together.

*click *click

"Perfect… these are made by the Elves… Soviet Elves…" he chuckled as he remembered a joke back from Earth, about a certain meme.

*Bang the sound of a door being kicked open can be heard from above of his head.

"Hmm? Look like the trouble arrived." he commented before tossing the AK-47 into his inventory, along with a few more fully loaded magazine and sat close to the cellar door and listen intensively onto the conversation.

"Yeah, I think it's about time now."

"What are you people doing here? Didn't I already paid my taxes?" the woman who "tried" to help Leonard previously glared at the group of thugs that broke into her home and scared her son into hiding in the kitchen of the house.

"Heh? We're not here for that, beauty." one of them grinned and licked his lip in a lecherous manner as he looked at the curve and the well defined body she had.

"Then what the hell are you here for?" she glared at them with dagger-like eyes.

"We're getting to that… you see, recently we've discovered a certain runt snooping around our little headquarter down the street… and lastly, made a mess by spilling blood all over our wall, we're here for that little runt." the leading thug smiled savagely but that face soon turned into a lust fill gaze as he looked at the woman.

"I don't know what you're talking about! We don't have anyone like that under this roof!" she retorted as she gripped tightly onto a small shiv she hid in one of her pocket.

"Oh really? Since that the case, boys let have some fun before we leave." the leading thugs laughed in a lecherous manner as he extended his hand and tried to grab the woman by the arm to prevent her from escaping.

"Keep your hand away from me!" *Slash!

"GAHHHH!!!!!" the leading thug screamed in agony as a razor blade turned makeshift shiv slashed his hand and gushed the blood out.

"YOU BITCH!!!" *SLAP! The thug used his bloody hand and heavily slapped the woman across the face, covered her in his dirty blood.

The woman glared at the thug with eyes filled with rage as she feels her burning cheek covered in blood from the wound of the thug.

"I'll fucking dig your eyes out!" he threatens as he pulled out a knife from his pocket as an underling among the group used a roll of linen and wrap the up the wound.

"Leave my mother alone!" suddenly, from the kitchen a little kid walked out with a pistol in hand and pointed at the group of thug who harmed his mother with tear streaming down the both of his eyes while doing so.

"Ah~ well isn't the little bastard." he grinned as he turned his eyes onto the little kid as he beckoned an underling to step forward and pointed another pistol at the little kid.

"Stay away from him!" the woman roared at as she burst toward her son, trying to intervene.

*Bang! Suddenly the floor underneath them exploded out and shot forth a shadowy figure.

"What the hell?!" *BANG the thug upon being caught by surprise, accidentally unleashed a shot from the pistol that was aimed toward the little kid, but with the woman standing in between them to intervene the shot.

The next scene put all the people in the house into a stupor.

Leonard appeared right before the woman waved his hand in a swift grabbing motion.

"Isn't it a bit too excessive to point your gun at a woman and a kid?...I mean, I understand that she did your hand in real good… but really? I'm disappointed in you, even if you're the trash of society and has nothing better to do." Leonard mocked the thugs as he flicked the bullet back at it owner at an extremely high speed that was much faster than when it leaving the gun barrel.

*splash, the man head exploded like a tomato being squashed by a sledge hammer.

"Oop, sorry, I made a mess in your house, I promise that I will clean it up later." he smiled innocently as he turned back to the woman and kid who looked at him in a stunned stupor.

"Close your mouth kid, don't you know opening it like that will attract flies ?"
