LEO

I was up at till midnight writing Letter to Shelly. It has been a long time since I contacted her. After writing the letter I was going to bed when I felt some strange presence.

I carefully ran towards them and I saw two men with their faces covered taking Leo. They saw me and started escaping by jumping from one roof to another. I followed them until they lured me into a dark alley. All of a sudden I was surrounded by about six men.

The man said - "so you're the brat that took our beast treasure"

( Beast treasure? They must be talking about the tiger)

I said - " free Leo , he's not yours. If you don't want to get hurt hand him over and go back to the place where you came from"

Man : "aren't you an arrogant little brat, but you shouldn't speak nonsense like this. You can't do anything you're just a little kid."

Two guys attacked me from behind, two from sides and the other guy attacked from front. Judging from their clothes and weapons that they carried, it seemed like they were high class assassins. I kept dodging their attacks , they were trying to overwhelm me with continuous attacks but for some reason their attacks felt slow to me.

I thought it was ideal time to test the hand to hand combat style of ultimate artform that i learnt from the dragon commander. By using wind force i punched one guy and knocked him out. I took other two guys by same method. There were three guys left, two were continuously attacking me and one was holding the tiger. I used mid range fire type attack to take out two more assassins. There was only one left now.

He said (putting knife on tigers neck) - " don't come any closer i am warning you"

I hit him with a punch by using shadow step method which allows me to travel at supersonic speed but in a limited distance nearly making me invisible. After rescuing Leo i interrogated the man.

I asked him : "tell me who sent you who was behind all of this?"

At first he refused to answer then by holding him with his neck I said "if you don't answer me i am gonna burn you alive"

He said- " please don't.... we don't know his identity, we never saw his face. He left some money and a letter at my doorstep which said to steal the tiger and was going to notify afterwards where to deliver it."

Judging from how terrified that man was i don't think he was lying. He did give me that letter though. But it was exactly as he said. There was no clue who was behind all this.

I took the tiger with me and headed back. At my way back I encountered Damon and Emilia who were looking for me. Damon saw me running out so he and Emilia followed me but then they lost sight of me. They were both scared for me then I explained the whole thing to them.

Damon searched for that man who hired assassins but there was no luck.
