The man inside the room was about to leave, but two figures suddenly entered the room. The man glared at them. Since the man has a good memory, he recognizes them.
He saw these two figures at his son"s game. "The heck? I got that anonymous message from these two?"
"You people contacted me to come here and made me wait? Who do you think you are?" The man growled, clearly displaying the displeasure on his tone. One of the things he hates the most is waiting for people, of course, there are other people who he can tolerate and willing to wait for.
"Please, making you wait does not concern me." One of the figures said with a nonchalant look on his face. "Besides, you"re the one who decided to come here. I did not force you to go." He continued.
The tone that he is using making the man angry. He remembers that there is a certain person who used to talk to him like that, and he always told that person to not talk to him like that because the only one who is allowed to is Mary.
The man squinted his eyes trying to figure out who is this man. His background seems deeper than he thought. The way they contacted him really angered him. They put a virus on his computer and after long hours of removing that virus, the first thing he saw on his computer screen is a message from them that says: "Congrats on removing the virus. Now, please meet us at this exact location, x.x.x x.x.xX x.x.x"
"Come on Leo, don"t look at me like that. You"re hurting my feelings."
Leonardo"s was slightly shocked that they know his name. He only saw them at the game and never spoke to them, not to mention he never told them his name.
Calming himself down, Leonardo returned to his seat and looks at the two figures with clear suspicion on his eyes. "How did you know my name?"
With a smile on his face, the man removed his mask and showed the true appearance of his face. "How can I not know your name when you are very famous in the eyes of the public."
Leonardo"s eyes shook when he saw the man took off its mask, and its real appearance is shown. Leonardo stood up again, and marched his way towards the man, then punched him in the face with great force.
"You…!" He said in anger.
The man could have avoided the punch, but he decided to take it, thinking that he deserves it. The man"s body kissed the ground, feeling the pain on his cheek. "Wow. That"s one way to greet your long-time friend." He said with a laugh.
"Friend? You call yourself my friend? How dare you! Ever since you left Mary, I never once considered you one of my friends, Arion!"
At this moment, Leonardo has the urge to kill the person in front of him. After all these years, Arion finally decided to show up. Leonardo knew that all this time, Arion is alive and that he is somewhere on the planet. But he did not expect that Arion is that close to them, and yet he could not find the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who left his best friend behind.
"You decided to show yourself now when your children are already big and can take care of themselves?" If Arion had shown himself years ago, he might have been less angry than he is now.
"I have my reason for leaving, and me showing up now, means that something big has happened," Arion said as he helps himself up, and wipes off the blood on the corner of his mouth. It has been a long time since he felt a punch on his face, and somehow it made him feel refresh despite the pain throbbing on his cheek.
"Reason? For G.o.d"s sake, Arion! Whatever reason you have, that doesn"t mean you should leave your family behind! You have no idea how much pain you have caused to Mary the moment you left her!" In Leonardo"s perspective, Arion should not have left his family. No matter what kind of trouble it is, Arion should have told Mary, after all, they once promise together that they will overcome anything together.
But look at what happened. It seems to Leonardo that Arion has already forgotten that promise. "And you"re telling me that you are not going to show yourself if nothing big has happened? G.o.dness, you"re the biggest jerk I have ever met."
Seeing how many words that Leonard has spoken, Arion is convinced that Leonardo is not gonna forgive him anytime soon or he won"t forgive him at all.
Knowing that Mary and Leonardo are close enough to say that they treat each other like brother and sister, Arion can guess that Leonardo will try and convince Mary to divorce him, and obviously, Mary will consider it because the man she trusts the most other than him is Leonardo.
"I can"t let that happen. I should start coaxing Leo as soon as possible." Arion inwardly commented.
"Look, Leo, I know that I"m at fault for leaving my family behind, but I need you to listen to me. It is not just my family who is in trouble, you and the others are also in trouble." Right now, Arion does not want Leonardo to keep cursing at him because they are only gonna waste each other"s time, and they both don"t want that. Leonardo can curse at him whenever he feels like it once the problem is solved.
Hearing that, Leonard looks at Arion. Seeing how serious his face is, Leonardo sighed and held his anger back. "Fine. Spill the beans, you a**hole."
After minutes of explaining things to Leonardo, Arion wishes that Leonardo"s anger at him would decrease a little, but that wish is a bit too much when.
"You expect me to believe that?" Leonardo said with a doubt in his tone. He won"t believe Arion"s words that easily, after all, his trust in him is already gone.
"Leo, do you also think that I will fool around without any reason? My wife and children"s" life is at stake, I would not dare to fool around."
