Kind but intimidating

Leon felt thirsty after practicing physically in the courtyard of his residence. Lately he had been doing a lot of cultivation energy refinement. When he went to the kitchen and saw his sister who was lying on the bed, his steps stopped.

Leon found Sofia's face looking very pale, immediately Leon became worried and covered her sister's body with three blankets. Even so, Sofia still felt cold.

Sofia has a fever!

She once had a high fever when she was a child, at that time her body was so weak, she could not even eat and drink. Luckily, she was able to recover thanks to the medicine that her father told her through a dream while Leon slept.

Leon clenched his right hand, now he was the replacement for the head of the family, so he had to find medicine for Sofia again.

Leon does not want Sofia's illness to get worse, if he wants to get the medicine, then he must go to the middle of the forest looking for rare plants that grow on the edge of 'Tui Hill'. Leon felt confident, because when his father was alive he was a healer who concocted medicinal herbs, as well as the best doctor there.

Thinking of this, Leon turned his head to look at Sofia who had entered the dream world in bed. "No matter what, I will cure you!"

In the next second, as if thinking of something, Leon took out a pitch-black ring from his pocket, this ring was left by his late father.

That day, where his father held him tightly beside their residence. Leon who at that time still did not understand anything could not understand the meaning of the gaze of an adult like him.

And not far behind his father, stood a woman wearing a dark brown robe while sobbing. "If you leave, what about our fate?"

Hearing the woman's words,

His father smiled while embracing their bodies, then he looked at Leon and quietly put the ring in his pants pocket. "Leon, take good care of Sofia, take good care of yourself, and love your mother..."

After saying this, the man turned around and left without looking back. However, just a few hours after his departure, Leon and his mother received news that their father had died.

The sad news left Leon stunned, then his mother crying like crazy while he could only stare at her with a painful heart while hugging his younger brother. He didn't want to do the same thing as his mother and didn't want to scare his sister.Leon retracted his thoughts, his right hand held the ring tightly. The finger of his hand that was injured by the bamboo fence while practicing, causing the wound to open, and a drop of blood suddenly dripped onto the black ring.

The ring in his hand suddenly trembled, Leon was startled, his eyes staring at the ring in the hand, in the same second the ring turned into a black light and disappeared along with Leon.

In the starry and endless sky Leon reappeared. Not far in front of him, there was a black tower hanging, the tower had twelve floors, and it was hanging there. There were four huge black iron chains as thick as pillars around the tower, and at the top of the tower, there were three swords.

The entire tower looked dark and gloomy.

Leon suppressed the shock in his heart, he looked towards the main entrance on the tower on the first floor. On both sides of the door, there were two lines of black characters, like a series of words.

All of this was beyond his comprehension.

Immediately, Leon forced himself to calm down. He was confused whether this would be a good thing, or something that would harm him.

Leon finally chose to open the tower door and enter, he certainly wasn't willing to leave now. After entering, Leon looked around.

On the surrounding walls, there was something strange that he had never seen before. In addition, there were some mysterious gold-colored runes.

In the end, his eyes focused on something not far in front of him. There, a skull sat cross-legged, and a long sword stood beside the dead bones.

Leon read a line of letters on the ground, near the skull. "Swansea World Sword? Wait, this one word is very familiar." Leon frowned slightly, he looked down, below the writing was a fist-sized jade.

Sun Jade!

Leon's blood boiled instantly, as the tattoos on his right hand, which had been there since he was a child, shone with red light.

"What's going on!"

This kind of thing is very rare, although he has possessed spiritual power, but he has not yet possessed the roots that he does not understand at all. Leon was subconsciously about to go to get it, however, as soon as he walked, an invisible force blocked him, preventing him from advancing.

Leon was dumbfounded, "Why can't it pass?"

"Newcomer?"

At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded, Leon was startled by the voice echoing in his ears. He was curious and looked around, but found no one.

"Who's there?"

There was no response, Leon stayed silent waiting for the next words. And the voice came again, "Why are you so stiff? There's something important you should know right now."

Leon hesitated to answer, but exhausted curiosity made him immediately ask the question. "What important thing?"

At this moment, the owner of the voice explained. "You are the owner of the dual spiritual roots, so you have the right to possess the two things you saw earlier, no wonder your father chose you so much."

"Father? You know my father?" Leon thought about asking again. "Did father tell you anything about the dual spiritual roots?" Leon was full of confusion, "Senior, who are you exactly?"

The Mysterious Voice said, "You've grown up. It's time for you to become someone strong, at least now you have to save your sister, and a friend of yours."

"Right, I have to find a cure so that Sofia can recover. But, wait. What did you say earlier is not wrong? Which friend are you referring to?"

Suddenly a screen appeared displaying a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Leon scanned the place carefully. "Olivia..."

Matteo frowned.

"What does that mean? Ah, I don't care about that anymore."

Later that night, when Barack fell asleep. Matteo was sure that at this hour his father had really slept very well. He would not have been foolish enough to take the key to the room where the girl was kept. Unexpectedly Matteo had secretly made duplicate keys for each room in his father's house.

This had been planned before he left for abroad. Actually this was his mother's idea, Matteo was given another task by becoming a spy who spied on his father's activities because he suspected that Barack would have an affair.

Matteo shifts his focus to his original goal. Saving the girl from danger.

Ceklekk! When the door opened, the girl panicked and struggled. But Matteo did not care and immediately carried her out of there.

No matter how Matteo carried her, they arrived at the riverbank after walking for more than an hour.

"Sit under the tree, Miss!" he said, removing the duct tape that covered her mouth.

"Huft..." she took a deep breath as soon as her buttocks sat on a protruding tree root. It was obvious that the girl was tired with sweat pouring down her forehead.

"I will give you 30 minutes to drink or relieve yourself," Matteo explained as he untied her hands.

"Drink? Where?" He finally spoke and looked at Matteo with a confused face.

Matteo pointed to the rushing river behind the girl.

"Ta-but... it's just dirty river water." She tried to protest.

"I will not force you, but why did my father arrest you?" Matteo's gaze tried to interrogate.

The girl was downcast, her right palm rubbing her left wrist reddened by the rope that had bound her earlier "I don't know, I just suddenly..." she tried to remember what had happened before.

Her eyes closed for a moment, when she opened them the girl spoke again. "I only remember when I returned from the agency building... Um, I mean my friend who works at an agency company. The rest I don't remember anything."

"What about your name, you still remember right? Miss, I will not tolerate you. There are 25 minutes left," Matteo emphasized.

"Olivia. Yes, my name is Olivia..."
