Leo hid his daughter behind him as he stared at the stranger that was trying to behave creepily closer to him.
"I do not know who you are and it would be better that you leave now!" he warned the man who raised a brow as if he had heard a great joke.
"Oh come on, Leo. Do not lie. Did your mother not tell you about me recently when she had come to see her granddaughter?" he said with an amused look on his face as he patted the shoulder of Leo but Leo took a step back.
"Or did she forget about me, hmm? Shall I go and torment her further so that she would never forget about me in the future?" he titled his head as he asked so in a provoking voice.
But to his surprise, Leo kept standing there coldly as if he did not know what this strange man was talking about.
"Oh my, you are too cruel Leo! Your mother had placed her safety in danger to save you and I warned you and you are acting like you did not know her at all. How heartless!" His smile was so creepy that everyone would have felt goosebumps when they would have seen him smiling but Leo just stood there with an emotionless face.
"I do not understand what you are talking about and who you are. I have already asked you to leave my house. Did you not hear it? If you will not leave now, I am going to throw you out." he warned as he held Renee from one hand and his other hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
The man was noticing every action of Leo with interest as if he had found a new toy to play with.
He looked at his action and then laughed.
"Leo, Leo, Leo! Your act is too lousy, it would not work on me. I know you are trying to hide the facts so that you could save that old woman but it was not going to work.`` In reality he was not sure either.
He had sensed the presence of that woman when he was passing through, so he stopped.
But when he looked at leo's face, his eyes turned darker. Even a blind could see they were cousins.
He had thought all his life that Leo was dead. But not only was he not dead, he even had a daughter! A daughter
Hey remember that ominous foretelling that his death was written with the hands of a woman wizard.
Since then he had captured all the women and killed them or imprisoned them but who would have thought one of them was still alive.
"I will not mind your rudeness if you let me hold my niece for once." he asked as he extended his hands in the air but Leo took out a dagger and pierced the palm of the man to warn him to not take a single step closer.
He frowned as he stared at his injured hand and then at Leo who was ready to attack again if needed with a smile.
There was no anger or hostility on his face but amusement that was irking Leo. The man who did not show his true emotion was more dangerous.
"I asked you to leave. If you will not leave, the next attack would be on your chest straight at your heart." he threatened this time with the dagger in his hands when the man sighed.
"You are a bad host Leo! Who behave like this with their relatives when they visit home for the first time. But now that you only want to kill me, I had no other choice too."
He licked the blood dripping out of his palm with mirth in his eyes and in the next second, strong winds started to blow in the house with closed windows.
Leo looked around when he felt those strange winds that were ready to blow everything off.
Things started to shake and blew in the air when he looked around. He heard the laughter of the man when he felt that even his daughter was getting entangled with the strange wind and his grip on her was loosening.
He tried to pull her hard but even his feet started to shake. The pull was much stranger than he could bear for a long time.
Renee had started to cry as if she had sensed danger. He closed his eyes and tried to use all his force to get himself away from the pull and held his daughter lightly.
"You are too weak to be called my brother. You are not able to handle a bit of wind, how will you handle strong attack Leo? And here you were trying to scare me with a small knife that is only a play thing for me. Tsk tsk!" The voice was provoking and mocking at the same time but Leo did not have time to worry about it.
The cries of Renee were getting stronger and though he had held it from both hands and hid it in his chest, his own balance was hard to maintain.
The man was still there and if he would not pay attention to him, there was a chance that he would attack him. He had to be alert in such a situation.
Leo took out his sword this time and forced his eyes to open again.
The strange man was still standing at her previous position at ease as if he was not at all affected by the strong gale of winds.
He was staring at Leo with a smirk on his face not at all affected by the sword in his hands.
"Let go or I will kill you this time." he warned again when the man felt Leo was a fool.
"Do you not know any other kind of threat only repeating the same words again and again?"
