Chapter 19. Defeated Wildness
Leon smiled without saying a single word. He has three big villas in a
better location facing the mountain lake.
"Leon, please come over to my house. I'll wait for you. Let's talk some
more?"
The old man held Leon's hand before saying his goodbyes, although
Leon was a bit reluctant.
Sucyanti didn't look too enthusiastic.
She felt her grandfather shouldn't have treated Leon that way.
Before going, Sucyanti looked at Leon with hesitance.
After walking to another area of the hotel, Leon went to his room.
The hotel's daily operationality is under the general manager's full
control. No wonder the director's room looked empty. About a week ago,
Sebastian, the general manager, received info from Mawar that the board
of directors will attend today's meeting.
Sebastian never dared underestimate an agenda with the commissary. He
emptied his timetable today and waited for the commissary's arrival
throughout the morning.
When the commute came, he didn't know and didn't ask. He stuck to
Mawar's instructions. But once there is a mistake, he might lose his job. The Wijaya family is one of United States's most secretive families.
They are incredibly wealthy but mysterious. Not much is known about
their identities. Sebastian is lucky to gain their trust.
Working for the Wijaya family guarantees a smooth career and income.
Starting as a junior supervisor for five years, he finally settled as the
hotel's general manager.
Sebastian phoned Gerald. "Gerald, if you stop by the hotel, don't stir up
trouble! Whatever happens, please hold yourself! Don't embarrass me!".
"Dad, I'm at the hotel already. Trust me, Dad. You can count on me!"
answered Gerald.
"Don't try anything funny or I'll cut you out of the Chows!" Sebastian
threatened seriously.
"Yes Dad, I understand," said Gerald while secretly smirking.
Right now, Gerald is accompanied by Jason, who brought along a
Caucasian dog. It is a giant breed, as tall as a calf. The dog looks wild
and mean.
Gerald closed the call. An evil expression appeared in his eyes.
"Jason, find out where Leon is right now!"
"I found him, Sir. He's in the main commissary's room." Jason answered
while feeling weirded out.
"What? Why is he there? Are you sure?" Gerald seemed doubtful.
"Yes, I am sure Sir!" Jason replied shortly. "How could the idiot be there? Bring the dog and I'll catch up to you
later!" Gerald said while filled with curiosity.
Inside the room, Leon sat on the main commissary chair. He looked calm
and relaxed.
Even when he saw Jason coming in with the dog, Leon kept calm.
To him, Jason is an evil person. He betrayed his own brother, and now
he is going to let the dog attack him. Where is his moral conscience?
Jason did it all for a price of huge sum of money from Gerald.
"Leon don't blame me! This is Gerald's order!"
Jason's face burned with anger, and he held tightly to the dog's leash.
The dog is tough to control. At that moment, Gerald came.
"Leon, you're the dog. Jason, fight him!" Gerald commanded.
Leon stayed brave. He swung his hands.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two slaps landed on Gerald's face. The loud sound resembles balloons
popping.
Jason saw Gerald's bloody face. He lost his teeth.
Gerald looked shaken. He had no energy to look for his fallen teeth.
The slap is a Jutsu Leon recently mastered. It was so powerful he could
half a stone using his bare hands. Very dangerous! Gerald was in pain. Using all his strength, he shouted at Jason.
'Jason, release the dog! Kill that bastard!"
Jason was filled with anger. His face darkened, and he threw the chains
on the floor.
The dog immediately lunged at Leon; it was clearly ferocious. The two
smiled at what they saw. But their smile was gone when the dog froze
right in front of Leon. The vicious dog became calm as if it was
interacting with Leon.
For Leon, the dog is not wild at all. It could be easily tamed. Its natural
ferocity disappeared when it faced Leon. The two looked to be in a state
of peace.
The two exchanged stares.
Dog: "I don't want to be a slave!"
Leon: "Ah, you can talk?"
Dog: "Woof woof woof…"
The Caucasian dog immediately obeyed. It lay and curled on the floor,
no longer brave enough to face Leon. Its eyes showed a wish for mercy,
and that is understandable. The dog kept on licking Leon's shoes.
Gerald and Jason were taken aback at what they saw. Caucasian dogs are
notorious for being aggressive and brutal.
Why did it turn cat-like after seeing Leon? Gerald started to suspect he
was tricked by the dog seller. Perhaps Gerald didn't know Leon once survived from a wolf's den.
He fought, ate, and danced with the wolves. In the end, the pack leader
shied away from its territory and only watched from afar.
No matter how aggressive and brutal the dog is, he is no different than
the king wolf.
Leon then easily danced with the wolves and entered their place as if it
was his own.
To him, it is just as easy as flipping his palm.
Gerald and Jason are finished off even before Leon showed his full
capabilities.
They couldn't fathom how a poor student working as a delivery boy
could suddenly become like this.
This is weird!
Gerald's father saw all that happened in the President's room. He was
horrified and furious.
Looking at his son's bleeding voice, he asked Leon in a high voice,
"Who did it to him? You! How dare you hit my son in my own place!
You'll see what you've caused!
The weight in Gerald's heart fell once he saw his father's appearance,
and he became even more arrogant.
He smirked, pointed at Leon, and howled, "It is him who hit me. Your
son is tormented by him. If you don't finish him today Dad, it will bring
humiliation to our family!" Jason screamed along, "That is right Boss! Don't let him make it out
alive!"
"Both of you shut up! Don't tell me how to finish him. How
embarrassing, even the two of you is not enough to fight him!"
