Leo pushed his sword into the heart of the man without saying another word widening the eyes of Cedric who was still laughing at Leo just a second ago.
His eyes filled with horror when a confident smile formed on the face of Leo but before he could relax and attack the man again, the man started to laugh like a crazy bastard.
"And you think this would be enough to stop me?" he asked with a chuckle when Leo noticed that his wound started to heal.
The cut on his body vanished as if it was never there. If not for the blood on the carpet, Leo would have thought it was his illusion that he attacked the man.
"What in the world?" he muttered as he looked at the ground with widened eyes.
"Now it is my turn." The man laughed and held Leo's neck with full force, raising him in the air.
Leo tried to struggle but he didn't let go of his daughter even in that condition. Cedric raised a brow as he was fascinated with the love leo had for his daughter.
"You know what.. There would be no fun in killing you when you love others more than your life." he let go of leo whose face had already whitened and then stared at his daughter.
"It would be better that i will kill this tiny human first." he extended his hands but only god knew how leo took out a dagger and attacked Cedric again with that weapon on his hands.
Cedric frowned as he stared at the wound healing and then at leo.
"Maybe you can not be hurt this way but I am sure it feels painful to be cut." he said with a calm voice as he attacked again.
With his years of experience with weapons, Leo was faster than Cedric. He was holding Renee with one hand while attacking Cedric with the other.
Cedric took a step back as he felt that Leo was crazy. He had cut his whole arm and chest countless times. Now the wounds were taking a bit more time than normal in healing itself but before a wound could heal, more than four new wounds were created on his body.
Sometimes he felt that he could not even see the moments of Leo while he was attacking.
A lot of blood had been splattered on the ground and for the first time in a long while Cedric felt pain.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at this fool. He was surely the son of that woman! He had the same spark as hers
Even when it had been years, he was still not able to kill her and even now.
It is not like he had let go of Leo. but he felt strange pain in his hands as if they were burning when he tried to kill leo.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the cut marks on his bodies, it looked like he was playing with the dagger.
He took a step back again when his eyes widened. He saw Leo taking a step back and running towards the other side and taking out a gun.
A gun! It would hurt like hell if the fool started to shoot bullets on him like he used a dagger.
"I will come back later to pay the price of today's incident." he muttered as he ran away towards the door.
Leo stared at his leaving figure but didn not try to chase him.
He only looked at his crying daughter and hugged her. He was relieved that she was not hurt in any way and he had not sprained her muscles or bones while fighting.
He slumped on the sofa with sweat covering all over his body. Now that Cedric had found him, this place is not safer anymore.
What if he came looking for him when only Evan and Renee were alone at home? The thought trembled him and he shook his head.
We need to leave this place. He held Renee and walked out of the home.
He scanned the area and when he was sure that the man was not lurking around anymore, he walked towards the house of Carl and Peter.
Just as he knocked the door, he could hear the laughing voice of Evan.
There were more people there.
"I must tell you that Peter has always been a scaredy cat when it comes to blood. He will puke with the slightest of blood that he did not go to the physician with the excuse that he is a strong man and he did not need treatment." Even laughed and so did the other girl standing beside her when Peter glared at them.
"That is not it. You are forgetting that Carl did not go to the doctor either. Why are you only mocking me?" he asked with a look of injustice on his face when Evan raised a brow.
"Seriously, are you comparing yourself to a ten year old boy now? Tsk tsk! I expected a better excuse from you." she said with a mocking tone when he pursued his lips and looked away.
He turned his head towards the door in anger but his eyes widened when he saw Leo standing there.
He was not surprised with the presence of Leo on their doorstep since Renee was still young and needed her mother anytime.
But what shocked him was the sheer amount of blood on his clothes. It looked like he had taken a bath in the blood before coming here.
Even his face was dripping with blood.
"What in the world happened to you?" he asked as he jumped from his seat when Leo walked in.
Evan frowned as she turned to look at the door but her eyes widened and she gasped while looking at him.
She stood up and ran to him as she hugged him with one hand while taking their daughter from him.
"Did we get attacked again?"
