Chapter 39

Chapter 39 The Head Person Leonardo held Bianca’s hands and called out in excitement, “Aunt Bianca!”

Bianca flashed him a smile as she put the sweet potato soup on the table in front of her. “It’s late. Why are you still up? Is there something bothering you?” She paused before continuing, “No matter what that is about, come and drink the sweet potato soup I’ve made for you first.”

Leonardo nodded. Then, he picked up the bowl of sweet potato soup and gulped it down before sincerely saying, “It’s so delicious! It’ll be great if I can drink the sweet potato soup you make for the rest of my life, Aunt Bianca.”

A glint of satisfaction and joy flashed across Bianca’s eyes, but soon it turned into disappointment. “Silly boy. Sooner or later, you will get married. I can’t always be by your side.”

Leonardo hurriedly stated, “No. I won’t marry others except you. None of the women in this world is better than you, Aunt Bianca.”

Hearing that, Bianca smiled faintly. “You’re spouting nonsense again. I’m your aunt. Don’t try to make fun of me.”

Leonardo’s expression turned solemn as he looked up at Bianca. “Why should we care about those nonsenses? I only know that you’re the only person I want in this life, and I’ll never like any woman besides you.”

Bianca’s cheeks immediately turned red as though she was drunk. She was flustered for a moment.

A few moments later, she changed the subject. “By the way, what’s troubling you, Leon? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you out. Who knows?”

Leonardo had always known that there was a hurdle in Bianca’s heart, and he should not push her too hard. Hence, he did not dwell on the topic but told her everything about Jonathan. Leonardo had been close to Bianca since he was a child. Only to her could he be weak, sharing his emotions wholeheartedly.

After Leonardo finished speaking, Bianca immediately caught the main points in his words. “What’s your plan, Leon? Are you going to continue sending people to kill Jonathan?” she asked.

“Jonathan must die. If he doesn’t, the reputable name of Strikezone Martial Arts will be affected, and I myself will become a laughing stock,” Leonardo replied in a deep voice.

Bianca pondered for a moment before saying, “Something is not right. Listen. You should stop sending people to kill Jonathan.”

“Why?” Leonardo immediately asked.

“If Thundro and Damian had successfully killed Jonathan, everything would’ve gone without a trace. But now, Damian is dead while Jonathan remains unscathed. I believe the Southern District Police Station has found some clues now. Eventually, all the clues will lead them to suspect you. If you make a move now, it’ll definitely catch people’s attention in Yaleview. If a high-level person in Yaleview intends to come after you, you’ll be in danger.” Bianca analyzed the situation for Leonardo.

Leonardo felt chills down his spine upon hearing that.

He was convinced by the logic and reason of Bianca’s analysis.

All these years, things went smoothly for him. Since everything he had done was flawless, none of his subordinates had a thing to say. However, when one was too arrogant, it made the others furious.

For instance, the arrogant Shawn Quigley from Dellmoor.

He overtook his leader’s car in Dellmoor and had caught the latter’s attention from then on. It did not take long until he was eradicated in Dellmoor, though.

After all, power was no match for the state apparatus.

Leonardo was caught in a dilemma. He couldn’t help but ask, “Aunt Bianca, what should I do now?”

“Leon, you’re the smartest. It’s just that you are overwhelmed by anger now. Calm yourself down and give it a thought.

Eventually, you’ll figure a way out.” Bianca flashed him a faint smile.

Leonardo slipped into deep thought when he heard that.

A few moments later, he broke the silence. “I got it!”

Bianca was glad to hear that. “Tell me your thoughts.”

Leonardo answered, “I’ll incriminate Jonathan through connections. Once he is put in jail, my man will make a move. If he escapes, things will be easier. I can just send someone over to end him.”

Bianca responded, “That’s good. You should not do things hastily.”

After formulating a plan, Leonardo heaved a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, he stood up and wrapped his arms around Bianca’s waist, giving her a peck on the lips. “Thank you, Aunt Bianca. Without you beside me, I’m sure I’d have made many mistakes.

That’s why you can’t leave me.”

Bianca’s face instantly turned beet red. “Let go of me. You’re an adult now. Please mind your manners.”

Leonardo snickered. He purposely teased Bianca and only let go of her after seeing her reaction.

Bianca wasn’t dim, though. Somehow, the two of them enjoyed such a relationship dynamic, a flirtatious one.

Shortly after, Bianca said, “All right. It’s getting late. I’m going back to rest.”

“Let me send you off,” Leonardo offered.

“No way!” Bianca snapped while stomping her foot slightly.

The scene was mesmerizing, and Leonardo could not help but be taken aback by it.

Bianca then turned around and left.

There was an attic in the Young residence, which resembled a castle in the sky. The design was beautiful and luxurious.

Inside the attic was a place that looked like a palace. It was where Bianca stayed.

Apparently, Leonardo had spent a lot of effort on Bianca.

Soon, Bianca arrived at the attic. There was a snow-white swan’s feather carpet on the floor. It felt extremely comfortable when one walked barefoot on it.

Meanwhile, the attic was dark with no lights.

The first thing Bianca did when she entered was take off her shoes and step on the carpet barefoot. Then, she took off her gown, revealing her perfect figure.

She was wearing purple underwear, highlighting her curvy body.

All of a sudden, her expression changed. Wait, there’s a guy sitting in front of my bed!

Her movements were as fast as lightning. In a split second, she had already put on a purple nightgown, having her belt cinched.

“Why are you here?” Bianca’s gaze was frosty as she looked at the man in front of her bed The man looked like he was only in his twenties. Cladding in a black suit, he wore a buzz cut, and his hair was all white.

He was Logan Xander, Bianca’s senior.

“Bianca, you have a wonderful body figure. Even I have fallen for you now,” said Logan while flashing Bianca a faint smile.

Anger immediately flashed across Bianca’s eyes.

“But your cultivation seems to have regressed. You did not notice my presence, even though I’ve been here for some time,”

Logan added.

Bianca grunted at his words. She knew it had nothing to do with her cultivation. It was Logan whose cultivation had reached the stage of Unification, merging with the space and environment.

He could travel through space without being notified by others, which was also the reason Bianca did not notice him in the first place.

“Cut the crap. What are you doing here?” Bianca asked coldly.

Logan flashed her a smile as he said, “Master requested you to go back, as you’ve been away for too long. Wait a minute. Do you intend to have an affair with your nephew? Oh, my! Don’t you find it embarrassing? How about the Young family? Can they accept something embarrassing like that?”

A look of rage flashed across Bianca’s eyes. She warned, “Be careful with your words.”

“Why should I? You better follow me back now. Master has already arranged for our marriage. You’re destined to marry me,” said Logan.

“Dream on!” Bianca replied coldly, “I will never marry you.”

Logan chuckled before saying, “It’s Master’s will. Can you bear the consequences of disobeying him? I’m asking you one more time. Are you going back with me? I’ll report to Master if you don’t leave with me.”

A glint of fear flashed across Bianca’s eyes when she heard that. After giving it a thought, she decided to give in. “I’ll follow you to see Master.”

“That’s more like it!” Logan smiled in satisfaction.

Leonardo wasted no time and went to see Bianca the following day. Back then, he had always sneaked into Bianca’s place early in the morning to get a glimpse of her or for an opportunity to be intimate with her. That was the most enjoyable moment for him.

However, things were a bit different today. When Leonardo arrived, he found that no one was in the attic.

“Aunt Bianca?” Immediately, his heart was filled with uneasiness that he had never experienced before. He instinctively felt that Bianca wasn’t washing up in the bathroom. Without further delay, he hurried toward the dressing table and found a note on it.

It’s her handwriting!

Written on the note were a few words: Leon, Master has summoned me, and I need to make a trip back. I’ll come back once everything is taken care of. Don’t miss me!

Leonardo’s face fell as soon as he read that. Bianca was safe, and eventually, she would come back. However, that would also mean that he would not be able to see her for a while. He could not bear being separated from her.

In Leonardo’s memory, Bianca had always been mysterious and affectionate. Since he was younger, his family had always been stern with him. Bianca only turned up occasionally, and her clan was mysterious. However, she was fond of Leonardo and took a shower with him every night.

In the end, Leonardo fell in love with her. To him, Bianca was the best person in his life.

He was unfazed by the taboos and only wanted to be with her.

Over the years, he had always disciplined himself and remained cold to other women because of her.

Meanwhile, Leonardo put away the note carefully. His mood was utterly terrible this morning.

After a while, he left the attic. He instructed the housekeeper of the Young residence to ensure the attic was well-cleaned up and that everything in the place was well taken care of.

Now that everything was settled, Leonardo began to think about Jonathan. Deep down, Jonathan was nothing but an annoying, nasty pest to him. It was Bianca who mattered most to him in his life.

Leonardo was having breakfast in the study when he learned that Jonathan was still being detained at Southern District Police Station. He instructed his men to monitor the case closely besides arranging everything with his connections in Horington to put Jonathan in jail.

Just then, he received an unexpected call.

He was slightly taken aback by the number on his phone, and his expression turned grim. The caller was Tobias Peterson, the retired head of the city’s security department.

Although Tobias had retired, he was still well admired and respected, having followers everywhere in the city. A righteous person like him also had a good reputation.

Naturally, Leonardo dared not to offend such a man.

He pondered before picking up the call.

“Is this Mr. Young?” greeted Tobias as he let out a warm laugh.

“Old Mr. Peterson, you’re being too polite. Just call me Leon will do,” Leonardo replied politely.

Naturally, Tobias would not address Leonardo in such a way. He laughed before saying, “Mr. Young, please forgive my abruptness. I hope you don’t mind me calling you today.”

“No, no, no. I should have visited you earlier. It is my honor to receive a call from you,” replied Leonardo.

“Mr. Young, you’re being too modest.” Tobias paused for a while before continuing, “I’ve made a reservation in Sunshine Hotel at noon. May I have the honor of treating you to lunch later?”

Leonardo’s heart skipped a beat as he instantly understood what was going on.

It must be Morgan, the Martial King of Fairlake. He wants to meet me through Old Mr. Peterson.

However, Leonardo could not reject Tobias’ invitation at that point. After giving it some thought, he responded, “Old Mr. Peterson, I’ll only be at Sunshine Hotel with one condition. It’ll be my treat, okay? I dare not to go if you refuse to accept that.”

“All right, all right. As long as you’re happy, Mr. Young.” Tobias chuckled.

“One more thing, Old Mr. Peterson. Just call me Leon. I feel uneasy when you call me Leonardo,” the young man added.

Tobias burst into laughter upon hearing that.

The call was ended shortly after.

Immediately, Leonardo’s polite and humble look vanished, replaced by a gloomy and angry expression.
