The First Target

Rex Treshvire stormed into his voice-proof office and slammed the door shut. He didn't want Marissa to see him in his most terrifying state. His weak eyes were bloodshot, his ears were red as though they were puffing out steam and his breathing was deep and heavy.

Although he expected a few stakeholders of his empire to be disappointed by his decision, he never thought that Rodriguez Sacramento would dare oppose and try to kill Leon and his wife.

"So this bloody fool has been pretending all this while so that he can remain in my good books?" Rex thought aloud. "He dares make a move on my son and brother! Oh... Rodriguez, you are a dead man." He spat out angrily.

Rex picked up his phone and dialed Leon's number.

"Hello dad, how are you today?" Leon said in a cheerful tone.

"I'm doing great, son." Rex could pick up the masked pain and anger in Leon's voice. He took in a deep breath to regain his calm demeanor before speaking.
