Leonard and John had planned it all with the thugs, it was all set, they know what to do. He got home that night and immediately dashed into the kitchen to prepare dinner, his stomach was rumbling, he was f**king hungry. Remember, he didn't eat anything before rushing to John's house.
He felt like preparing rice balls and stew, but that would take time, and he was too hungry to wait for long. So he decided to prepare his favorite, noodles, that wouldn't take time to prepare. He did the necessary stuff needed to be done to prepare noodles, he put in the necessary ingredients, and before he knew it, the noodles had done.
He dished them into a plate, brought it to the parlor, and began eating. He was done eating within minutes, he took the plate to the kitchen, and washed it alongside other plates. Done with that, he came to the parlor and began thinking about his discussion and plan with those thugs. The plan had been set and it was valid, the only thing was, would it work out on Eva?
OK, let's say it works out, and Eva falls for Leonard, what of the banging aspect? Would she allow Leonard sleep with her that night? Leonard hadn't completed his quest if he doesn't have sex with her. Seduce and bang, both of them must be accomplished for him to live. And the worst part of it was that it was remaining only two days, just two more days. If he doesn't accomplish it tomorrow, then it would be remaining only one day.
He was trying his best to shake off the negative thought from his mind and think about the best, but it wasn't just possible. He was still immersed in his thoughts when he heard the system's voice,
[ Two days to go, complete your quest, or you die]
"I'm doing my best". Leonard uttered with a gloomy facial expression.
[ Two more days to go, and you aren't sure if you'll complete your quest. Seems like you'll die]
"I don't wanna die, but it seems like that would be the case. Why don't you just tell me now, how would I die? How would my death be like?". Leonard inquired.
[ When the time comes, you'll find out. There's still hope, try to complete your quest, She Lord, gone]
Leonard sighed, so this is the type of life he'll be living on this earth for as long as who knows...an unfree life? The TV was right in front of him, but he didn't feel like putting it on at all...not even a single bit. His phone, yeah, he didn't feel like operating it too. All he wanted to do now was to go to sleep, and that's what he did, he strolled straight into his room and landed on the bed.

Leonard knew that he'll have to get permission from the manager to leave work on time today, before closing hour. Today was the day that he's to implement his plan, and he didn't want to be late. He and the thugs had scheduled the time they'll meet and plan things over again to avoid mistakes. They have to implement everything before Eva even gets the chance to enter her house.
Leonard was at work already, he was sitting on his desk, and telling the manager that he was gonna leave on time was what was circulating his mind at that moment. He wanted to tell the manager on time so he'll know that he has handled that. He didn't know when he stood up from his desk and began sauntering towards the door of the manager's office.
As usual, he received stares from the employees as he strolled to the manager's office, but no one dared question him...even, Felix. He got to the door of the manager's office, knocked on it, the manager asked who was there, he said it was him...and he received a 'come in' from the manager. He stepped into the manager's office, and the manager offered him a seat, and he sat. Then the manager uttered to him,
"Wow!, Leonard, you're in my office again, any problem? Do you need some more cash?".
"No, sir, I need something else". Leonard retorted.
"And what could that be?".
"I need you to grant me permission to leave on time today, before closing hour. I've got something important to handle at home".
"Hmm, how important is that stuff you wanna handle?".
"Very important, sir".
"OK then, you have my permission, you can leave before closing hour".
"Thank you, sir, I really appreciate". Leonard uttered with a smile on his face.
With that, he stood up from the chair he was sitting on and departed from the manager's office. Coming out of his office, he strolled straight to his desk and balanced on it. Felix stared at him, but he didn't ask anything. The rest of the activities in the company took place, it got to lunch hour, and everyone went to the lunchroom to eat the delicious meal the cooks had prepared.
About one hour remaining for it to get to closing hour, Leonard stood up from his desk, it's about time to leave. You know Felix, it wouldn't be possible for him not to ask where Leonard was going.
"Leonard, are you heading somewhere? You wanna go purchase something outside this company?".
"No, Felix, I'm heading home". Leonard responded.
"Home? But it isn't closing hour yet".
"Yeah, I've gotten permission from the manager, you saw me going in and out of the manager's office, right? I went there to get his approval to leave on time. I've got something important to handle at home".
"Hmm, OK, you're free to go".
He smiled a little before he began sauntering, he received 'Byes' from some of the workers. He descended the staircase, reached the last floor, and sauntered out of the company.

It was evening already getting very close to complete nighttime, Eva was just coming back from work, her fashion designing enterprise. She was in her car, and she was supposed to drive straight into the compound of her edifice, but it wasn't possible...the gate was locked. So she did the usual, she came out of her car and began sauntering towards the gate to open it.
But before she could reach the gate, three guys attacked her, they were all dressed in black outfits...those were the thugs. They held her like they were trying to kidnap her or something, and she was screaming for help. They didn't hit her, they were just trying to carry her. But they halted when they heard a voice behind them say,
"Hey, leave her alone".
They turned around to see who made that statement, and there Leonard was standing dressed in dark blue hooded clothe and looking so cool. He covered his head with the hood, and he was staring directly at the thugs. Eva was staring at him, she knew he was familiar, but she hadn't recognized him completely. One of the thugs questioned him,
"Who do you think you are?".
"I don't know, none of your business, just leave her alone".
"You think you can handle us, uh?".
Leonard said nothing. One of the thugs began running towards him with a fisted hand, he planned to punch Leonard hard on the face. But the moment he got to where Leonard was standing and threw the punch at him, Leonard shifted aside a little as the punch passed his face, now, there was complete opening. Making use of the opening, Leonard punched him on the stomach, then punched him on the face 'causing him to fall hard to the ground.
Another one began running towards Leonard while shouting, 'Arghhhh'. He got to where Leonard was standing and threw a kick at him, but unfortunately for him, Leonard caught his leg and kicked him on his scrotum...he fell to the ground immediately. The other one didn't learn from what he had seen, he ran to Leonard and tried punching him, but Leonard caught his hand and punched him in the face.
The three of them were lying on the ground groaning in pain. Leonard said to them,
"I'll let you guys go, but if I catch you guys in such act again, a lot would happen".
They stood up from the ground and scurried in pain. Leonard then turned around as he was now facing Eva, and he didn't expect what happened next. She ran to him and hugged him tightly, then she uttered,
"Thank you".
Leonard smiled and said, "You welcome, anything for you".
Hugging him to her satisfaction, she glanced directly into his eyes and voiced out,
"I know you, I remember you".
