"I want to confirm something…" He spoke so softly that only Hugo managed to catch it from reading Quill's lips.
Quill then takes a deep breath and goes closer to examine the body himself.
"S-sir you shou-" Maria tries to stop him but Lana blocks her from doing so and nods no.
Quill comes close to Leon's body and opens his mouth without damaging the Jaw.
Leon knew that the only thing which could be there was that he had a Silver molar cap on the left upper molar, 'does that hold any significance?'
After taking a look, the fierce aura around Quill became non-existent as he slowly steps away and then collapses, on the morgue cabinet while the others panicked.
"SIR!"
both Lana and Maria rush in unison but then Quill waved it off.
" I am fine…" He replied while his face was pale as if He has seen a ghost.
"Congratulations Chief, Looks like you're Hunch is true"
Hugo commented that he received poisonous gazes from Lana and Maria as a reward.
"Am I right sir Silvius?"
Quill Ignored Hugo and then holds Leon's face and feels his hair….
"we 'll give you some time sir" Maria cuts off Hugo's call as Hugo was about to speak and then walks away with Lana and exits the Morgue leaving Leon, His dead body, and his father in the room.
Quill just stares at the body, still in disbelief at what he had just confirmed…
Leon on the other hand stares at his father as he is seeing a side that he had never seen before… which filled the void once again bringing in the Guilt … and a hell lot of pain.
"So tell me, boy …. What did you do to suffer a fate like this…."
His voice was breaking as he spoke his thoughts while tears came down while he caresses Leon's cheek with his palm…
even though his brain has no memory of it, His heart was telling him…
'He is my son…'
Quill took a few minutes to regain his composure and then sanitize his hands and meet up with the girls who were arguing with Hugo outside the Morgue but stopped seeing the door open.
"Sir… are you al"
"I'll be fine thank you…. Please send the body to my Manor, I will deal with the funeral rites"
Quill replies to Lana after Interrupting her, but then she nods.
Quill then turns to Hugo
" I am going to personally Investigate this and I need your help" He requested.
"After you tell me how you confirmed it" Hugo replies, which frustrated the Ladies as this man clearly couldn't read the room!
"It's best I keep that to myself at this moment because there is a Big chance that my family is in danger of being wiped out of existence" Quill replied with a cold tone.
"Fine~ You got my help" Hugo raises his hands in surrender as Quill starts to walk away towards the elevator.
He enters the elevator and as the door closes and was away from the sight of people, His raging aura leaked out as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hard enough as the knuckle crack sounds became audible.
'I am going to find the bastards who did this and MAKE THEM PAY!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Leon saw his father leave, He decided to go check on Hiro and Alice… still reminding himself of his father crying over his corpse made him feel guilty and emotional, and rose to the ground floor and then went to the food court.
He saw Hiro and the boys hanging out and eating together which made him feel nostalgic when He would eat with them and then go over to his battle buddies Alice and Luke and eat.
'I wonder where are they?' he looks around the food court for a while but didn't find them.
'are they in the training arena?'
He then goes out to the Running ground to see Alice hugging Luke!
…
Then Alice hands him a water bottle and sits down next to him while laughing and having a fun conversation.
At that moment... A part of Leon died inside...
His eyes widened in shock the moment he saw those two hug and then talking casually,
Jealousy and despair kick into overdrive as he falls on his knees while still hovering in the air as he sees them... happy... making them seem like a couple in his eyes.
Leon then bit his lip and turned away from that sight and moves a random direction away from them as he clutches his chest and feels like his chest was just wrecked by a wrecking ball with a knife in front pointing at his chest.
'They would be happier together, I am bloody dead and no one remembers me anyways...' he tries to convince himself.
He continues to go in that direction, aimlessly going through different facilities with a dazed face
'Who am I kidding… happy for them my ass…
It fucking Hurts!'
Tears rolled down unconsciously as he continues to roam till he hears someone calling in his direction.
"OI ! STOP RIGHT THERE YOU EXHIBITIONIST GHOST!"
