Chapter 267 267: Socrate Seeks Meeting.

Leo and Simon drove the car to the South Street Pub. They parked in the back and then got out of the car. Just when Leo was about to take Matilda out of the trunk, another car stopped next to theirs. Snow came out of the vehicle and walked over to Leo. Just when she was about to say something, she noticed that his left sleeve was covered in blood.Her mind went blank and she asked, "What happened?"

Leo didn't know how to reply, when Simon said, "Sir was shot by Matilda Luger."

Snow opened her eyes wide and reached out to grab Leo's hand. The young man didn't even flinch he was that numb at the moment. Snow said, "Let's get inside and Axel call a doctor."

Leo sighed and said, "I have something much more important to handle at the moment rather than the doctor."

Snow looked at him and then followed his gaze that was locked towards the trunk of the car. The young man opened the door, and the two unaware people saw a figure inside. They were shocked, but what shocked them even more was that Leo reached over, grabbed the groaning woman from her hair and easily dragged her out.

Matilda was dazed from the pain coursing through her body, she was very delicate and her age was catching up with her as well. Snow wanted to tell Leo to be careful so that Matilda doesn't die, but when she sensed the hatred dripping from his visage when he looked at Matilda, she understood that it was already a good sign that Leo hadn't chopped her head off.

He dragged Matilda inside the club from the back door, and his cruelty shocked everyone. All the goons who had joined the Silence Security Company shivered, they knew first hand how cruel Leo was when he destroyed the den but today, his aura was so cold that it caused the blood within their veins to freeze up.

They entered the basement from the back door and nobody at the front knew what was going on. Snow looked at Simon and said, "That SUV, it belongs to you?"

Simon shook his head and replied, "It was taken from the mansion."

Snow nodded and turned to Axelsaid, "Immediately send someone to burn it and then crush it. This things must never be found. Do you understand, Simon?"

Axel nodded and then went forward to deal with it on his own. Then she followed Leo and entered the basement where she found a man tied to a chair. His mouth was gagged, while his body was tied to a chair.

She looked at Leo who flung Matilda away and grabbed a chair to sit down. Snow knew that he would not bother with an hospital and going to an hospital would cause things to even worsen.

Leo looked at Kyle and said, "Tie this bitch to a chair."

Kyle nodded and completed the instruction. Snow then calmly took off Leo's coat and then tore off his shirt sleeve with her bare hands. She was also stronger now, her body had changed, although she didn't know how, but it did happen that if she was to slap someone with all her might, that person might end up with a concussion.

She saw the wound and found that while it wasn't bleeding, the sides were swelling, she said, "The bullet is still inside."

Leo nodded and replied, "It isn't lodged in my bone so you can use a forcep to take it out."

Snow looked in his eyes and asked, "How are you so sure?"

Leo shrugged and replied calmly, "I have read some manuals."

Snow took a deep breath and said, "Kyle, do you know how to extract a bullet?"

Kyle nodded and replied, "I will handle it right away, Madam."

He ran upstairs grabbed a couple of bottles of alcohol and a pair of forceps in addition to the first aid kit. He came back and gave a bottle to Leo as he said, "Sir, drink some, it will allow you to numb the pain out a little."

Leo sighed and chugged down a few mouthfuls of whiskey from the bottle, before Kyle used another bottle to clean up the wound and the forceps. He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, it's gonna hurt."

Leo rolled his eyes and everyone watched as Kyle pushed the forcep inside the wound and then he felt the bullet before he applied some force to pull it out of the muscle. Leo could not use instant recall skill that he had because Snow would definitely ask what is going on and he had no idea on how to answer.

The bullet was pulled out and people heaved a sigh of relief. However, none of them heard even a single groan from Leo, he sat through the whole process like it was just a simple dental check up. Kyle then took out a suture kit and made two stitches to close the wound before applying a sealer.

He said, "Sir, please avoid wetting the wound."

Leo nodded and stood up as he walked towards Matilda while pulling the chair with his right hand. The young man sat down on the chair and locked his gaze with the man sitting next to Matilda and asked, "Do you know what you have done?"

The man shivered, he knew how his employer was handled, how could he suffer any less and this fear originated from the very core of his being. He turned to look at Matilda and Leo nodded as he spoke with an understanding expression, "Fine, I know that this bitch made you do it, now, I will give you one chance, and one chance only. If you can tell me one good reason as to why you did it, I will let you go out of here alive. I will not lay a hand on you."

The man froze but then he nodded his head and Leo looked at the guard standing behind the man, who quickly stepped forward and took off the gag. The man said, "Sir, I have a family, and my parents are old. My mother needs a surgery and I was short of money when this woman gave me the money. Before this I have never done such a thing. I was living an honest life in the countryside."

Leo sighed and said, "While I understand your predicament, do you not know of NGO's that help people in such matters? Why must you walk this path? Today, you not only abducted my daughter, and hurt her, but you also shot my friend. The one guarding my daughter, you will not get away this easily. I will make sure to pay for your parents care under your name, but you will never get to see that. I will flail you alive."

The man froze, and Leo picked up a knife from the side, then he placed the blade on the man's thigh. He was about to start cutting the man up, because he could see that his disregard and open cruelty was causing Matilda to loss her composure. The hatred in her eyes was now tainted with fear.

Leo raised his knife and was about to draw blood when Snow said, "Love, wait!"

Leo turned to look at her, and Snow said, "On your phone, Socrate is calling."

Leo gestured for her to take the call, and Snow walked over after putting the call on speaker. The person on the other side said, "Leo Cardinal, if you dared to lay a hand on Matilda, I will make sure you suffer..."

Leo directly terminated the call. After a few minutes, the call connected again, Socrate yelled, "Who the fu..."

His words had yet to finish before the call was terminated again. Socrate took a deep breath and after forcing himself to calm down, he dialed the number again.

This time he maintained his composure and asked, "What do you want?"

Leo replied calmly, "For starters, stop thinking that you are above me. Understood you old ballsack? You are just a dildo that this bitch used in the morning. If you raise your voice one more time, I will cut her tongue off. Believe me, I will."

His tone and pace baffled Socrate, who asked, "Can you tell me what you would like to have have in return of her?"

Leo shrugged and said, "This bitch, lay hands on my daughter and they lay hands on my family because I told her that I was not interviewing in the feud between you two families. Now, please tell me what do you think is the appropriate compensation for the life of this whore?"

His words at the closing end caused Matilda to blush in humiliation. This was far hurtful for her than she could even imagine.

Socrate said, "You can take a few companies that I have in the Angkor City."

Leo frowned and Snow said, "We will give her back to you but before that, your company will walk out of the Angkor City from all paths. Do you understand?"

Socrate knew that if his wife knew he came to fuck Matilda, she would kill him. And this business retreat would be huge loss for him. After some thought he said, "Can we meet?"

Leo replied, "Fuck off. She dies now."

The call was terminated but not before Leo stabbed the man on the table and caused him to scream which shocked Socrate.
