Chapter 81 - It's trying to make you sleep with me

At Tim's side.

"Did you get her location when he first switch on her phone?" Tim asked.

"Apparently, he is not the type that forgives, and there is no way he is going to let them get away with what they did."

"Yes sir, it's at croachfield, I will send the details now." his caller said.

"Don't worry, I know the place, he just purchased it recently, good work," Tim said and ended the call.

After he ended the call, Leo's men whom are with him wanted to go as well, "can we go with you?" L1 asked, they are all aware of Tim's personality, he must still be angry at them.

And as expected of the devil, he dismissed them, claiming their boss is fine, so they should go back home. Without leaving them a chance to argue, he left with his own boys.

They all felt useless and went away feeling ashamed of themselves. 

.....

When Tim get to the house with his boys, he was lucky as Jimmy and his boys just arrived as well. 

Unlike the Lboys, Tim's guys were armed, before the fight even started, three of Jimmy's boys was already shot and killed.

Jimmy panicked, as he didn't prepare this much, and he knew how ruthless the king of the underworld is, Tim would show no mercy to anyone who crosses him.

Jimmy quickly escaped with few of his boys, leaving the rest as shield.

After killing the remaining boys, who didn't managed to escape as the rest, Tim does not feel contented, and wishes they could just head straight to Jerry's place and end everything once and for all, but he knew Leo wouldn't want that, so he respect Leo's wish and ask his boys to let them leave.

.....

"How is it?" Jerry asked as he saw Jimmy appeared.

Jimmy replied him with a pensive expression, "we failed."

Jerry's eyes widened, "what!" he exclaimed.

"Timothy and his men attacked us." Jimmy said.

Jerry who was about to begin his complaining and hitting Jimmy, suddenly calm at the mention of Tim's name.

'Why did he interfere all of a sudden?' he wondered, as the fact that Tim and Ella weren't after him made him more confident to attack Leo, believing they are minding their own business, which is a blessing to him.

He had no idea it's Leo who asked them to stay out of it.

"Get Alex to come see me." Jerry said.

.....

Clara and Leo finally arrived at her house.

After getting inside the living room and had taken off their shoes, they settled on the brown leather couch.

That was after Clara gave him a towel to clean the side he wanted to sit on, which he gladly took without minding it.

Leo was the first to speak up. They were sitting on the same chair with a decent amount of space between them, which Clara created, "what's going on? how did you do that?" He turned to face her and asked. 

Clara understood immediately and knew that it's time to explain everything to him.

"First of all, I am not a human." she said, also looking into his eyes.

"What are you?" Leo asked.

"I am the last guardian of earth, and you Leonard is my other piece….." Clara explained everything to him not leaving out a single thing. 

Leo creased his brow, "why do I feel like all these are memories that I have forgotten and finally regaining?" Leo asked.

Without feeling surprised, "that's how it's supposed to be." She said. Their other piece will surely feel it to be true, even if their head is doubting.

"So, your hair is your greatest power?" Leo asked. Everything sounds ridiculous, but he witnessed the impossible already.

Clara began explaining to him, "It is called the guardian shield and is a living being itself. We could coexist in this body. When it took over my body, all attacks against me will backfired." 

Hearing the word coexist, Leo suddenly thought of something, "is it possible for it to appear anytime it wanted?"

Clara shook her head, "no it can't. that is only possible when I'm having an emotional instability. It will come forth, so I wouldn't use my power unknowingly and hurt someone." she said. 

Leo finally understand what happened when they kissed the last time, it was not Clara who kissed him. She didn't even kissed him under the influence of alcohol. It was her shield.

Leo felt a bit disheartened by this, which made him wonder what's really wrong with him, but quickly shook his mind off it, as the answer surface in his mind after his wondering, "why do I feel like your hair is trying to seduce me?" he asked, raising his brow teasingly.

He expected Clara to be surprised, but she remained calm. Of course she knew how her hair has been shamelessly seducing Leo, falling down each time they are close to each other or alone. 

Clara tried to explain the best way she can, so that she won't be dragged in her shield's immoral assault, "how about this. Think of it as someone that was given a mission and has been stuck for a long while, not being able to accomplish the task, but then suddenly….."

"Clara please stop. What kind of story is that? I don't understand it." Leo didn't let her complete her explanation.

Clara grit her teeth and came clean, "it's trying to make you sleep with me so it can be fully awoken." she said.

Leo smirk at her, "you know I wouldn't mind awakening it right now." he said.
