Chapter 178
Just as Leonard was about to deliver the final blow to Brad with his foot, suddenly, a cell phone rang. It was Brad’s phone, which had fallen to the ground.
Originally, Leonard planned to ignore it, but when he saw the caller ID [Dad] showing on the screen, which should be Brad’s father and the head of the Pitt family.
He hesitated for a moment but then answered the phone.
A dignified voice came from the other end. “Brad, have you got the Elixir of Longevity? If you have it, hurry back to the
northwestern border. If the news about such a treasure leaks, who knows how many people will covet it.”
Leonard could hear the excitement in the voice on the other end of the phone, indicating that the Elixir of Longevity was an invaluable treasure even for a prestigious family like the Pitt family.
In Leonard’s eyes, a hint of coldness emerged.
It seemed that instigating Aria to steal the Elixir of Longevity was not Brad’s sole idea
but was orchestrated by the entire Pitt family.
Leonard coldly responded, “You can forget about the Elixir of Longevity. Dare to steal my belongings. Your son has already paid the price.”
“Who are you? What have you done to my son?”
The person on the other end of the phone growled these words at Leonard.
Leonard simply smiled faintly, “Your son is dying now. I will send him to hell shortly. As for the Pitt family, today’s events are far from over. In the future, I will absolutely pay a visit to the Pitt family.”
“How dare you!”
An enraged voice came through the phone.
However, Leonard squeezed the phone in his hand, crushing it into pieces.
Meanwhile, in the northwestern area, inside the manor of the Pitt family, their head, Adam Pitt, slapped the phone on the table.
He was furious, his eyes filled with insane murderous intent.
Several of the Pitt family’s subordinates rushed in.
“Mr. Pitt, what’s happening?”
“Mr. Pitt, who has provoked your anger like this?”
Adam clenched his fists, veins bulging, and shouted with anger, “I don’t care who you are. Dare to kill my son, then I will tear you apart into pieces.”
Inside the villa, Leonard had just killed Brad with one blow, and now his gaze fell upon Aria.
In an instant, Aria trembled in fear.
She had already guessed her fate when Leonard acted against Brad, but she didn’t want to die.
Without waiting for Leonard to speak, Aria pleaded with tears in her eyes, “Mr. Santos, please, don’t kill me. I’m Mr. Bailey’s most trusted disciple. I request to see him one more time.”
Hearing this, Leonard sneered, “You dare mention Barrett? Barrett treated you like his heir, conducting experiments with you and even sharing all the Barrett Institute’s passwords with you. Yet, you betrayed him.
“Now you are telling me you want to see Barrett. I don’t think you want to see
Barrett. You just hope he will spare your
life. Do you really think I would grant your wish?”
Aria’s eyes filled with despair after she heard Leonard’s words.
She hadn’t expected her little scheme to be so easily exposed by Leonard.
She didn’t give up on trying to save herself and instead walked up to Leonard, reaching out to hold onto his hands.
“Mr. Santos, please, don’t kill me…”
Aria’s eyes were filled with fear at this
moment.
Resistance was impossible. Leonard was too strong. She, a defenseless woman who hadn’t even learned martial arts, was as easy for Leonard to deal with.
But the killing intent in Leonard’s eyes seemed genuine.
“What should I do?”
Her mind raced.
Aria let out a soft whimper, raising her head and deliberately pulling her clothes downward in an attempt to draw attention from Leonard, hoping that this might save her life.
Just at that moment, a sound of footsteps and screams came from outside.
The guards around the villa were being killed in a matter of moments.
Michael broke in with the managers of the Dragon Department, the Tiger Department, and the Leopard Department.
Since there had been no sounds for quite some time inside, Michael decided to check what was going on.
