Chapter 168 - They have begun

Tim made a few phone calls to take care of the fight scene because seeing the mood he met Leo and his boys, coupled with Jerry being in that situation when his friend was totally against hurting him before, he could already guess what happened.

The boys whom he had considered to be useless as Leo pampered them too much.

If someone were to ask for his opinion about Leo's men, he sees no purpose for their existence in Leo's life, since they only train and never put those training into action.

To him, it was just a waste of talent, and they are too soft. But the looks he saw a few moments ago were bloodthirsty

Leo gave him the biggest surprise of them all. Even though he was a bit far from where he sat, he could feel the murderous chill emitting from him.

He looked so different.

Since the media has somehow managed to discover Leo's residence attack, it would only make it worse if they find out his uncle's residence got attacked as well.

People will pay extra attention and try to get to the root of it. 

They would wonder if someone is targeting the Raymond family. 

And trying to get Leo to talk would be a waste of time at the moment. 

****

Getting to the hospital, Clara didn't waste time and since Tim already knew the secret about her power, he helped in making the chosen guy get inside the ward without allowing any questioning from the doctors.

Leo was still avoiding talking to her, and Clara wanted to focus on Mick for now, before finding out what was going on with him. 

Seeing Clara returned, the little princess got to her feet. She couldn't wait to see her grandpa healthy again. 

Clara briefed her about what she was told by her grandma. She hadn't said much, before Belle said she understands the ritual. 

There are lots of things that she knew and Clara would benefit a lot from them if there are lists of her knowledge on papers, but didn't recognise what to ask in particular. 

Clara and the little princess went on their knees opposite each other beside Mick's bed, while the chosen guy who was now on sedation lay on the floor at the other side, leaving Clara and the little princess in between. 

They both closed their eyes and began muttering to themselves in a low tone that couldn't be understood. 

It was like a wizard channeling the spirit of destruction as the things in the room began to get unsettled where they laid.

Her little hand remained connected with Clara's own. The image doesn't look like a kid was doing something.

Rather, she even looked more serious than Clara. 

...

Outside the ward.

Tim, who now fully understood why Leo lost it, stood quietly beside him. 

Leo had not made any sort of eye contact with anyone since he arrived at the hospital. It's either he shut his eyes or looked away. 

He looked so tired, yet the air around him was still bloodthirsty, with his expression grim. 

His back leaning against the wall and legs crossed.

Suddenly, the lights outside the ward suddenly started to flicker, indicating that Clara and the little princess had begun.

Leo looked up at the flickering lights slightly before looking away. One of his boys who brought the chosen guy with him also looked up at the bulbs.

He was so lost about everything that was going on, but kept his confusion to himself. 

It was the doctors that were more confused because there was a patient that needed check up and they were asked to stay away from the premises. 

Who will take care of the patient? 

This throws them in a deep confused state but it's the chairman of the corporation that owns the hospital, so technically it belongs to him. 

They had to obey and not question him. 

Tim couldn't help it any longer. His worry kept growing as he didn't hear his friend make any sound. 

He turned his head to look at him before shutting his eyelids and let out a soft sigh. 

He moved closer to him and tried with the hope to at least let him know that he was not alone. "Everything will be fine, buddy. He will be alright." He said and patted his shoulder lightly, before giving his arm a little squeeze.

He felt like he touched something rough and looked at his hand to see it stained with blood. "You are hurt!" Tim exclaimed. 

He looked at Leo in horror because he just squeezed his wound, and yet Leo looked like he couldn't feel a thing. 

After they left the scrimmage scene, Leo had even forgotten that he got hurt. He just felt numb to everything. 

He had decided to tie a piece of cloth on the wound to stop the bleeding, under his boys' persuasion, but the bullet is still inside it.

"Dude, you need to get this checked out." Tim said, not receiving any response from him.

"Leo, please. Let a doctor tend to your wound. I'm here, okay?" He spoke up in a very soft tone that was unlike him. 

Seeing that he might not be able to reason with him till Mick's situation got resolved, he ordered Leo's boys to get some doctors to be on standby.

Immediately there's any positive changes about Mick's condition, he will try to make him get treatment as well. 

…..

Inside the ward.

The four of them were surrounded by a bright light that seems like it had a life of its own, because it made a few strokes, which connected Mick to Clara. 

Another one connected Clara to the chosen guy, and it was the same with the little princess.

Their hair floating in the air and eyes now wide open, looking cloudy white. Both looked very mesmerizing and it was indeed a sight to behold. 

Clara suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest and stomach.
