nWhen Leo was choosing a restaurant before, he wasn't only thinking of the food, but also the people who frequent the place. It was because he wanted to avoid from any trouble. But, he soon realized that with Cassandra, no matter how much he tries to avoid trouble, it would be trouble himself that will look for him.
nLeo just stared at the 5 men as if looking at a bunch of idiots. He quickly understands that these 5 men were newbies from an ordinary small gang. He had long learned that big and medium-size gangs don't operate in such a way; it was only those small gangs that weren't still fully exposed to the cruel rules of the Underground world that act in such rude behavior. He, after all, had sponsored a gang in this kingdom too, hence he naturally knew a lot of knowledge about how gangs work.
n
"Did you hear what our boss said, kid?!
" A henchman of the thirty-year-old man yelled towards Leo.
n
"What if I don't?
" Leo replied nonchalantly.
n
"What if you don't?!
" The thirty-year-old man repeated what Leo said like a fool.
n
"Are you deaf? Do you want me to repeat what I said?
" Leo replied, further provoking the old man. It was one of his joy to provoke people to make them angrier. For him, the angrier a person is, the less they can think of anything else aside from wanting to punch his face.
n
"Good, good, good, you got guts, kid! However, you should know that there are tall mountains and small mountains, and I'm obviously a tall mountain!
" The thirty-year-old man said, cracking his knuckles before he pulled Leo's collar close to his face.
nLeo became really amused hearing such lines from the old man. They were actually aware of such words, yet they still went off and offend a Noble. 'Bunch of stupid people! Also, its taller mountains above small mountains...
"
nLeo started laughing loudly while the thirty-year-old man was holding his collar.
n
"Did he become crazy?
"
n
"Was he that scared to the point that he had turned mad?
"
n
"What a coward, kid! He acted all calmly before, yet he immediately became crazy when our boss made a move. Way to go, Boss!
"
nThe thirty-year-old man just became more arrogant after hearing his underlings complement. He turned and looked at Cassandra, who was also looking at him.
nThe old man thought,
"Look, she is obviously attracted to my toughness. She should date the likes of me and not this scholar looking kid who obviously looks weak!
"
nObviously, Leo knew that it was because of Cassandra that they dare to offend him, just basing on how they looked at her from time to time. But he still wasn't planning to do anything aside from making them much angrier.
nLeo just continued to laugh in front of them, making them more enrage.
nWhen the thirty-year-old man noticed that Leo wasn't planning to stop on laughing, he felt really infuriated. He quickly made a ready-to-punch-his-face motion aim towards Leo's not so handsome face.
nHowever, before the old man could really make his move, he suddenly heard Leo whisper to him,
"Bunch of fools!
"
nSuddenly, a loud crash sounded behind them. Turning around, the 5 men quickly realized that the crash was caused by dozens of soldiers that suddenly barged inside the restaurant.
nThe soldiers quickly looked around their surroundings after barging in as they quickly noticed the 5 men. Their eyes immediately turned ferocious as if like wild animals and they charged forward towards the 5 men.
nIn no time, the 5 men lay on the floor unconscious. The thirty-year-old man, which was obviously the boss, was in a really miserable state. Leo can't even tell whether the old man is still alive or not.
nLooking at the soldiers, Leo just nodded his head.
nThose soldiers were actually Leo's soldier station inside Silver city, specifically, these people were Fatty Ben's men who were ordered to protect Leo from any danger inside Silver city.
nSince it was already dark, Leo had naturally ordered one of his men, who he had seen hiding to secretly protect him, to call a few of his team to escort him to the Heart city after they finish his and Cassandra's dinner.
nLeo was already long aware that his men would surely arrive. He had noticed before when the waiter who took their order awhile ago, has suddenly rushed out of the restaurant. The waiter obviously went to report to the nearby soldiers that a Noble was being attacked.
nAn ordinary person attacking a Noble was obviously a huge crime. Everyone throughout the entire Silver Kingdom was made aware of such a rule. However, there were still some people who don't care or weren't aware about such a rule. So, the Silver kingdom could only encourage people to report if ever an ordinary person attacks a Noble.
nCoincidentally, when the waiter run outside to report, the soldiers he had met were Leo's men who were currently on standby outside the restaurant.
nThat was the reason why Leo was just laughing awhile ago. Because he had already seen the future of those 5 men. A really miserable future...
nQuickly, Leo ordered his men to empty out the restaurant for a moment.
nAs soon as no one was present anymore, Leo immediately turned towards Cassandra with anger in his eyes,
"If you don't plan to protect me then what other purpose do you still have for me to keep you alive?!
"
nCassandra turned solemn the moment she heard Leo's voice full of anger.
n
"If you still think that you are a princess, then I'll force you the see the reality of your current life!
" Leo said before he ordered the Blood Contract, which Cassandra had signed, to punish her.
nAside from binding the Blood Contract also has the purpose of punishing the one who doesn't follow the order. It was purposely established that way so that slaves would become obedient to their master and to also avoid from any possible betrayal.
n
"Ahhhh!!!
" Cassandra immediately shouted in pain as soon as the Blood Contract punishment took its effect on her. She then fell on the floor while black lightning could be seen around her entire body from time to time.
nWhile on the floor, she was twitching due to the pain. Her eyes were looking at Leo tearfully, too.
nHowever, Leo just looked at her coldly. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, but it was as if he didn't hear a single sound at all.
nNaturally, Leo had his reason for punishing her.
nLeo had long noticed awhile ago that Cassandra was actually not making any moves on purpose. She was just sitting in her chair, watching how the scene would unfold. Obviously, she waiting for him to get punch or something, before finally making any attempt to protect him.
nThough it wasn't really a big deal that Cassandra didn't make any move. However, if Leo indeed allowed her to continue acting in such a way because it wasn't a big deal, then this would eventually backfire on him.
nIt might even cause Leo his own death!
nThis time, it might just be 5 ordinary men trying to harass Leo because of wanting to have Cassandra. But what if one day the ones to harass him were powerful people who will unreasonably kill him immediately the moment he disagrees or show any form of disagreement? Such ruthless people would obviously do such ruthless action. Although he wasn't stupid to really provoke such people, but what if a day indeed comes where he shouldn't care about provoking them?
nWould Cassandra wait until Leo gets beaten up into becoming a cripple? It was a logical thing to do, since the moment he becomes a cripple, the contract wouldn't take effect anymore. Cassandra had, after all, added in the contract that the Blood Contract would lose its effect the moment Leo loses the ability to grant her off her side of the deal.
nWould Cassandra just watch Leo die? It was also a logical thing to do. Since the moment he dies, the Blood Contract would also lose its effect. His death naturally means that the contract would not be realized anymore.
n
"If you want a chance to make those people pay, then show me that you deserve such a chance to be given to you!
"
nLeo had thought,
"Since it might threaten my life, then she needs to learn her place and to also see her current reality!
"
nBecause of that, Leo was forced to show her the reality of her life. He wanted her to understand that she was no longer the princess of the Crimson Rose Kingdom, but his slave!
nFace it or die denying the current reality!
nAfter a few minutes, Cassandra finally passed out due to the extreme pain. Leo just shook his head while looking at her unconscious body laying on the floor. He bent down his body to carry her up before putting her on his back and then making his way out of the restaurant.
nOutside, Leo's men were already waiting for him.
nThe soldiers could clearly see and hear what had happened inside since the restaurant was covered with glass to make the customer see the view outside and it wasn't also soundproof. Although they don't know the reason why their Young Master had punished the Young Miss, they still didn't voice out any concern. Since their Young Master did such action, then obviously he had his reason to do so.
nUnexpectedly, Madam Silva was also outside with her men the moment Leo exited the restaurant.
n
"I rushed out immediately after receiving the news, but it looks like you were once again prepared. We're you long planning of making her see the cruel reality of her life?
" Madam Silva immediately said as soon as Leo arrived in front of her.
nLeo just nodded his head before looking at the unconscious Cassandra silently laying on his back, kindness could be seen in his eyes. His eyes at this moment were two worlds different from before.
nLooking closely, Leo noticed that there was a tear that suddenly escaped from her eyes, which he then unconsciously wiped off before he returned his attention towards Madam Silva.
n
"Aren't you a little bit cruel to your beautiful princess slave?
" Madam Silva said in concern.
"She might not follow any of your orders anymore after this...
" She added.
n
"I'm only doing this for her own sake, in my own way...
" Leo said before walking towards a carriage that his men had long prepared for him.
nLeo was already exhausted, adding to the fact that he wasn't even able to eat his lunch-dinner in the restaurant. His body doesn't have any more energy left to explain his reason to Madam Silva.
nAs soon as Leo got inside the carriage, he immediately fell asleep.
