Chapter 266: Carnage.

Leo stepped through the doors, and the security guard at the gates finally managed to muster up the courage and pressed the alarm button on the side of his desk. The doors began to close, and the building echoed with blaring sirens.However, Leo Cardinal walked without any care. Inside the mansion there were three dozen of bodyguards equipped with blunt weapons, and they were all rushing out towards Leo Cardinal.

The young man picked up the pace, and dashed forward to face them head on. With his blunt force, he would be able to break these men like dry clay sculptures.

...

On the other side, Kyle and the rest were scouring the entire city. Milo had told them about a few things that suggested where Lily could have been taken by that man, so they were chasing every lead. Snow was standing in the living room of the mansion with a cold gaze set on the portrait of the man who kidnapped their daughter.

She was pissed off, and after a thought she looked at Axel and said, "Get me Simon Silence."

Axel quickly called the man, and put the phone on speaker. Simon was their underling now, and after the call quickly connected, Axel said, "Madam wishes to talk to you."

Snow asked calmly, "Where is Leo?"

Simon replied, "He is inside the Mansion where Matilda Luger is living."

Snow raised her brow and she asked, "What is going on there?"

Simon replied calmly and quickly, "He is inside and from what I presume, he is fighting the guards. We have surrounded the place, and none can escape."

Snow nodded and after a deep breath she said, "I want you to direct all the man that you can spare and have them help Milo and the rest to look for Lily. Simon, I want my daughter back with me, and you lot have two hours max."

That said, she turned and left the living room to head for the stairs. She was going in the study to coordinate these things better. Axel said, "Simon, you heard her right?"

Simon replied, "I did, Mister Axel. It is already happening as we speak."

...

The entire city was shocked, the common people have never seen the police patrolling this much and neither have they seen the goons working so hard. The city folk could tell that the two parties were looking for someone but whom they had no idea about that.

Milo suddenly called Kyle, who had just finished looking inside one of the dead end leads, and said, "I have her location. They are in the fishermen market. He is holding her in the cold storage. Hurry Kyle, hurry."

Kyle sprang up to his feet and all the forces were delegated to the location. The cops weren’t informed, because Milo and the rest had one intention only. That was to torment the kidnapper in a manner where it would regret being born in this world.

...

Leo had reached the elevator and behind him lay one dozen of guards, none of them showed any movement, because this man had directly taken them all out with one blow each, and that was when he was holding back. Leo Cardinal was a terrible killing machine, that could literally kill these men with ease.

The elevator didn’t work, so Leo headed towards the emergency stairs and as soon as he was about to start climbing, he found that many people were rushing downstairs to attack him but he wasn’t bothered at all. He moved ahead like an emotionless machine set out to kill.

The staircase echoed with battle and the sounds of pain. However, none of it caused Leo’s expression to falter. Every two steps, he took out one man, and the situation continued for five minutes until he beat up the last guy in the doorway leading to the to floor. Leo looked around and then he walked towards the protected door of the penthouse.

The door was made up of thick solid wood, but Leo just simply raised his leg and kicked it directly. The thick door caved in. The hinges and the locks managed to hold the other trimmings in place but the center of the intricate wooden door was destroyed with one simple kick.

Leo stepped through the threshold and said, "Matilda Luger, if you wish to live, please come forward, or believe me, even if you fuck the devil, you won’t live."

His voice was calm but strangely it spread through out the place. He said, "You have five seconds."

He was so enraged that he wished to tear Matilda Luger with his hands and bathe in her blood. The lady walked out of the bedroom, holding a revolver in her hand. She aimed it at the young man and asked, "Leo Cardinal, what do you think you can do to me?"

Leo looked at her and said, "You shouldn’t have messed up with my family over this. I told you I have no interest in waging a war against anyone, but you didn’t listen."

Matilda Luger sneered and said, "None can get away from me after refusing to my offer."

Leo sighed and walked towards her as he asked, "Where is my daughter?"

Matilda Luger shrugged and said, "I have no idea, I only hired a man ahead of time and got him a job at her school. He just did it when he was confident. I only paid him and ensured that his buttons were pressed right. Also, I need you to stop or I will shoot you."

Leo nodded but he didn’t stop moving forward at all. Matilda Luger frowned, she didn’t see an ounce of fear in Leo’s eyes, thinking that he was an enraged father, she asked, "Do you really think I won’t shoot you?"

Leo didn’t bother to reply, and was five meters away from Matilda, who panicked as she sensed his cold gaze, she squeezed the trigger and Bang!

A bullet hit Leo in left arm, however, the man didn’t even flinch let alone cry. He said, "This is a shot of penance because I let you reach my daughter."

Matilda was shocked but before she could do anything else, Leo had already reached within the distance where he reached out and grabbed her revolver and unarmed the woman. He flung the gun to the side and walked even closer to Matilda.

The woman was so stunned that she even forgot to take a step back, and Leo suddenly smiled. Just before she could figure out what happened, he slapped her so hard, that not only did she pass out, she even lost her teeth and jaw was shattered.

Leo then clicked his tongue, but his phone rang, he picked up the call, as he asked, "Tell me."

Kyle said, "We have found Young Miss, and that man has been taken into custody as well. What shall we do?"

Leo replied with a question, "Is Lily awake?"

Kyle replied, "No, she is still out of it."

Leo nodded and said, "Take her to the mansion and hand her to Snow. Gather at the South City Pub."

Kyle nodded and then Leo disconnected the call, he grabbed Matilda by her hair and then he spat on her face. She woke up a little and tried to curse but she was assaulted by a strong pain coursing through her jaw. Leo said, "You will come to regret being born in this world. I promise you that, bitch."

Then he dragged her back through the place while holding her hair. He was not going to take it easy on this woman. He dragged her through the staircase and through the hordes of men fallen on the ground. It was now Matilda realized his full horror. She had not expected him to be so cruel, after all, he was still young.

Leo had said many times, that he didn’t mind becoming a demon for his family, and today, he was just that, the demon of carnage.

He placed her inside the trunk of an SUV standing in the parking lot on the ground floor and then got in the driver’s seat before he started the car and drove out. The guard on the security gate saw Leo in the car zooming toward the steel gate, and he had to press the button to open the gate.

Leo called Simon and said, "Come with me."

That was it, Simon had already been waiting in front of the building and with the command he got in the car and they drove away.

...

Snow cradled Lily in her arms as she checked the girl for injuries. She sighed when everything was fine, and then her gaze turned cold and she asked, "The man, where is he, Kyle?"

Kyle replied, "The Souther City Pub, Young madam."

Snow nodded and tucked Lily in the bed with Anastasia sitting beside the girl to watch over her. Snow said, "I am going out, Ma, will be back soon."

The Cardinals were out for blood, and the ones who tried to harm the family would have to pay in tenfold.
