YM778.TV Chapter 120 - Bloodlust Animal
Her father always chided and spoke behind Leon Harmon\'s back but she never believed him thinking her father is hungry for power hence he detests everyone. Nope, she doesn\'t distrust her father, she failed to identify Leon Harmon\'s extremely kind and loving side was just fake.
Now, it wasn\'t hard for her to realize that Leon Harmon was using her and manipulating her all along but not another way. She had thought Leon Harmon was believing her act of pity to get Aeon Harmon.
Tsk, what a presupposition!
Yet, yet she tried to enter the office with a flicker of positiveness. She desperately wanted that brief hope to turn into reality but a strong, muscly arm appeared in front of her like an iron gate hard to move.
Her fist clenched tight to sound uptight to have her way inside, "How dare you to stop me? Did you forget who I am? Move aside." She tried to push his arm aside but her force didn\'t even shake his iron-strong arm.
"Miss. Craft, please leave. Return with an appointment of President Harmon." The toneless voice of the security man was hoarse and cold.
"You-" Her finger raised pointing him in fury but his emotionless gaze shut her lips clearly knowing it wasn\'t useful to argue with him.
Billy who stood and watched his daughter had expected her to worry about him and ask what had happened in the mall but not ignore him.
Mia\'s brain worked a little finding the way to reach Leon Harmon. Her plan was to plead and put on an act of pity but was scared to be thrown out. Her gaze landed on her father to use him as a shield.
If the security hadn\'t stopped her, she was ready to pluck the ripe fruit for herself, since the chance of fruit being rotten is miserably high, she was ready to share it with her father.
The one thing she understood hanging around with Leon and Billy was, power is everything, you need to be extremely wealthy to stand in the higher level of the food chain even if she has to use her family as a stepping stone.
"Dad, let\'s leave, it\'s of no use." She said in a sorrowful tone as though accepting defeat.
Billy wanted to retort but he was pulled away from there by his own daughter that fueled his anger more and more. He was her father, after all, he wanted to use her for climbing the higher tier of the food chain or probably to reach the top of the food chain. Consequently, he knew why Mia always ran behind Aeon Harmon and also why she took a huge risk of creating the fake reports of the mentally ill. Those reports could destroy her whole damn career.
Mia muttered as she took him away from the sight of security guards, "Dad, don\'t create a scene here, I have a plan to reach Uncle Leon. Keep quiet."
Billy\'s face turned ugly as a scarecrow hearing her order through her teeth, "Is this how you talk to your father? What Uncle Leon? Do you even know what he did?"
Mia buried her irritation against him and vaguely asked to keep him distracted from running back to the entrance, "What?"
Billy handed his mobile to show what his company messaged him. A glance and Mia understood Leon sold his shares of the Craft family at a cheaper rate than the market value as soon as the news broke out.
Her lips smirked evilly and started riling up his father against Leon as they entered the parking lot from the basement, seeing the guards nearby, they climbed the stairs for two-story and entered the elevator.
By the time the security team realized it, they had reached the forty-seventh floor. Using employees as shields, father and daughter reached Leon Harmon\'s office too.
Billy didn\'t care to see the office room state but Mia did. She shut her lips tight and backend away trying to make herself invisible cornering herself when she heard Billy shout at Leon who was watching outside.
"Leon Harmon, you finally showed your true color to me, how could you sell your shares so cheap? Are you hitting when I am down? If you are thinking I will let you off like others, then you are absolutely wrong. I-I..." He stuttered and his voice faded as a chilling cold ran through his spine numbing his legs freezing right in front of Leon Harmon.
Leon Harmon slowly turned around. He looked so plain that it was hard to define what he was going to do next but the air around him was cold as the wind in the antarctic.
Billy gulped in nervousness analyzing he was standing on a broken mobile and Leon\'s leather chair was near to him but he didn\'t have the guts to move his eyes away from Leon nor speak another word. He strongly believed that his second distraction could be the end of him because this was what Leon\'s expression was throughout the day they tortured and killed the girl.
Billy still had a question about how the girl offended him and why he was dirtying his hands torturing a weak girl but he didn\'t care about it anymore. He wanted nothing other than saving his life hence he encouraged himself to look at the blazing fire that lit in Leon Harmon\'s eyes, he also dared to take a step back with his shaky leg but the next movement his eyes widened in shock.
It wasn\'t unexpected and Leon\'s slender long finger wrapped around the neck of Billy and swung him around and crashed his back to the glass wall. Mia was a wooden log, she was frightened to even breathe to avoid grabbing Leon\'s attention and cowered down to the floor to be away from his sight.
She felt like jumping to the hungry lion\'s den but didn\'t dare to save her father from the lion\'s mouth prioritizing her own life
The throbbing pain from the sudden clutch was enough to disorient his thoughts, Billy tried to put up a fight but his legs listened to Leon than himself. When his back crashed hard on the glass wall, he started losing breath, eyes bulged staring into Leon\'s dark gaze, it was so dark that his spine trembled vigorously.
He let out a moaning yelp in desperation but there was none to tend to him. In the option of the fight and give up, he didn\'t want to die in his hands and fight back? He could only try to pull away from the strong arm of the dark demon who had immense strength to outwit him easily.
It was a cruel and sickening pain when he tried to grasp for air but it seemed nothing was going down his throat. As though it wasn\'t enough to curb the demon inside the Leon Harmon, he lifted Billy pushing his hand harder on his throat against the glass wall.
Billy felt his lung burn due to lack of oxygen and his eyes became dull and lifeless as his eyes started to dart all around losing his focus. His hands that were trying to stop Leon eventually weakened and fell aside, the legs which were dangling around trying to kick Leon also went still.
Mia placed her palm on her mouth watching it live. While watching her father losing his life, her eyes fell on Leon Harmon\'s reflection, and felt her blood freezing in her nerves. She desperately wanted to go away from there but her knees were weakened just by watching and tears rolled down without her knowledge.
"Brother Leon…" It was audibly soft but held no warmth.
Leon snapped back and he left Billy. The latter fell down and slumped on the ground desperately trying to catch the oxygen coughing hard as he soothed his lungs and the rapidly beating heart.
Wealth? Status? Power? He wanted nothing but his life. He was ready to abandon everything to be safe and sound. He wouldn\'t mind living a poor life to save his life.
\'What was I thinking? Winning on the bloodlust animal?\' He might kowtow to Leon if the latter asked him just to earn the forgiveness but he didn\'t get a chance to utter a word.
Leon stepped on the leg of his swivel chair that brought the chair up. He caught the handle and steadied it on the ground before turning around and adorning the luxurious black leather chair.
He peered down at the coughing mess of Billy and smirked coldly. Billy felt his hair rise looking at him and started to apologize but stuttered without being able to complete his words, "I-I S-So…"
"Dylan, sell my shares of Craft at least possible value…"
Billy\'s eyes widened without understanding why his team sent a message stating Leon sold the shares when he hadn\'t.
Leon\'s order didn\'t end there, "Terminate Craft\'s investments from all the projects that are with us…"
Billy grabbed his leg and shook his head, "D-Don\'t…"
Leon shrugged Billy from his leg and crossed it over another leg leaning back on the chair sitting like a king of the city that was in his sight gazing outside, "Pull all our investment out from Craft\'s projects."
Billy who was kicked away slumped back on the floor thinking how did his wish to live as poor against his life come true right away. He lost all the color wishing for death instead of lowly life.
Mia who was trying to crawl out heard a deafening deathly tone freezing her on the spot, "MIA CRAFT."
