Chapter 167 - Too late to stop him from losing it

They began to drop their weapons and raised up their hands in the air. 

Leo's boys' bloodthirsty eyes shone and they quickly wanted to end their lives.

"Capture them alive." Leo's cold voice was heard, making the six boys shivered.

Bang! 

A gunshot was heard.

Leo had just shot one of the boys that was trying to escape, leaving them with five boys in total. 

The day had brightened up already. 

It was now 5:30am

They left the scene of dead bodies and numerous bullets lying on the floor.

*****

Tim stood up in shock when he received a call.

The caller informed him about Leo's residence attack and even asked him to turn on his television, as it was already on the news.

Without bordering to check, since the fact that it was on the news only added to his worry. 

It must be grave.

He rushed out immediately.

****

Clara woke up and was back to the human realm. Despite everything that she had to lose from what she was about to attempt, her eyes still shone in excitement. 

She can't wait to see him smile again. The image of his tears didn't sit well with her. 

She felt so bad, but now there's hope. 

She could help him. 

She got up on her feet and dashed out of the house in a rush. 

She had no idea when she had liked him this much. They still fought a few weeks ago and she told him not to show his face to her, but now she wanted to see him. 

To see him smile. 

...

Getting to the hospital, her heart couldn't stop racing, but after entering the ward, she couldn't find him. 

Belle still remained at the same spot without moving and holding the old man's hand. 

Her heart skipped, because Leo wouldn't just leave unless it's important, but what could be more important than Mick at the moment? 

"Where is Leo?" Clara asked the still dazed little princess.

The little princess slowly raised her head and looked up at her and then looked away, not answering her question.

She didn't shed a single tear or open her mouth to talk. 

Clara walked closer to her and knelt down beside her. "Baby, look at me. There is a way to save grandpa and I will need your help with the process.

You need to get a hold of yourself, just like you were strong when we helped aunt Ella. You can't help him if you keep blocking yourself out like this." Clara said, running her hand through her hair softly.

Hearing that there is a way, the little princess's expressionless face finally showed signs of confusion.

She turned her head and looked at Clara once again.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Clara nodded her head. "Yes, sweetheart. There is a way and I just spoke to grandma so you don't need to worry anymore. Where did daddy go?" Clara asked. 

The little princess finally let her tears fall while she shook her head, indicating that she had no idea. 

Seeing her finally let the tears out, Clara felt at ease and hugged her tightly. "I need to go and get daddy and we can begin. Do you promise to stay strong till I'm back?" Clara asked and Belle nodded her head. 

"Good girl." Clara pulled back and patted her hair before she made her way out of the ward.

....

Immediately she stepped out of the cab, in front of Leo's mansion, she saw Tim's car stopped behind the cab, and saw him rushing out.

They could already tell that they are both looking for the same person and just nodded at each other before they both made their way inside. 

Immediately they got closer to the center of the wide outer space of the mansion, they heard screams echoing to where they stood, which was coming from the direction of the base.

Without wasting time, they increased their pace and headed over there. 

....

The five boys were tied to a pole each, including Jerry.

Leo instructed his men to hit them continuously. All over their body, not leaving anywhere out. 

He took his seat where he could enjoy the view and just keep silent. His eyes deep red.

Jerry has lost his consciousness for the second time, as he couldn't withstand the toture. His head and other parts of his body were bleeding and swollen. 

The remaining three boys that were yet to receive their torture were shaking as one of them just went into a fainted state, while the next one was still getting hit with a heavy metal all over his body.

If the person manages to withstand the pain and refuses to pass out for a while, the next hit will be directed to his head.

Tim was the first to step inside and stood erect, while watching the scene with a shocked expression. 

Clara rushed past him toward Leo. Her heart was beating so fast and terror filled her heart. 

Getting in front of him, "please stop, I find a way." She said, reaching out and holding Leo's hand.

"What way?" Leo's chilly voice rang out, making her heart skipped. The painful part was how Leo did not even look at her.

His eyes kept looking everywhere but her own.

"I need a healthy body to do a life force exchange." Clara said. 

"Release that one and bring him with me." Leo said, pointing at one of Jerry's boys that hasn't undergo torture. 

He suddenly went silent and looked down on his lap, while retracting his hand from her own. "You leave with Tim, I will follow behind in my car." Leo said. 

Clara looked at him for a few seconds before turning back and walked toward Tim, who still remained at the same spot, looking at his friend.

"Let's go." Clara said to Tim who obeyed and walked out with her. She knew she was too late to save Leo from losing it.

Immediately they left, "kill the boys and resume with this bastard's torture when he wakes up." Leo said, referring to Jerry. 

He walked away with one of his boys who was pulling the chosen guy behind him.
