Chapter 221 221:A Look Into Past[IV]

"How can you do that? Aren't you all enforcers of justice so how can you do that and turn a blind eye to other pleas?"

Unable to bear it anymore, the man shouted.

"Throw him out of this place."

"You can't do this.."

"Throw him out.."

With that, Leon was forcefully thrown out of the station.

Getting up, Leon wiped his tears

"I can't lose hope. There are still other places."

Leon's heart sank as he left the police station, his hopes dashed once again. But he refused to give up. He moved on to the next station, and the next, repeating his plea for justice with each new encounter.

In several places, he was even beaten to death. His body had been filled with bruises and fractured bones nevertheless he persisted.

On his way, he visited the Church and temples to pray and heard the priest

He believed in God.

He believed in the teachings of God.

Since there is God, there is justice.

Someone would surely help him and he just needed to find someone.

This was his trial and test.

A mission that he thought God issued him.

At each station, he was met with the same response, apathy, indifference, and a reluctance to take his case seriously. But Leon refused to give up.

He begged and pleaded, his words falling on deaf ears as he desperately sought someone who would listen, someone who would help him uncover the truth.

But as the days passed and the hope began to set, Leon's resolve began to waver. With each rejection, his hope dwindled, until he felt like a lost soul adrift in a sea of indifference.

However soon he found hope again.

The officer named Micheal sighed, his patience wearing thin. "We'll look into it," he said, his tone lacking conviction. "But we have other cases to deal with, you know."

"And it won't be easy," He reminded me.

"Thanks.Thanks for accepting the case.''Leon shouted and kowtowed before the gray-bearded policeman.

"Finally...Finally someone good enough..."Leon cried in tears of joy.

"Thank you, god!"

Leon didn't forget to pray and thanked God.

He knew that God was watching him.

He knew that he wasn't abandoned and all of this was a test for him.

And he thought that he finally overcome it but.....

The next day when he came to the station.

"Hey, I apologize...."Micheal muttered, bowing his head.

"What? Why?"Leon's voice quivered seeing the man who had accepted the case yesterday had closed it down and it hadn't even been 24 hours since he filed the complaint.

"I am sorry Leon, I can't do anything."

"Why? Why are you all like this?"Leon burst out unable to contain his emotions.

He jumped forward held Micheal's thigh and screamed tearfully.

"Aren't you the one who maintains law and order? Are you all who symbolize justice so why aren't you listening to my pleas."

"What would a common man do if even the server of justice won't do it? On whom can one depend in time of need."

"I...."

"Micheal, who is making a scene here? Stop this nuisance now?"

Micheal's superior shouted seeing which Micheal stared at Leon with pity.

He took out a hundred dollar note and tugged it down in Leon's pocket.

Then he held Leon's shoulder and shook his shoulder forcefully.

"Kid, listen to me, Leon. This world is biased. We weak can't fight against the strong. The death of your parents is mysterious and there are several political figures involved in it so no one can do anything unless you can become someone high up in the government or become a reputed person."

With this, Micheal pushed Leon who desperately clung to his legs but with a grave heart.

He pushed him out and closed the door.

Finally, as the last station closed its doors for the night, Leon sank to his knees in despair, his tears mingling with the cold, hard pavement beneath him.

He had pleaded and begged, but his efforts had been in vain. His parents' murderers remained free, their names tarnished by false accusations, and Leon was left with nothing but his shattered dreams and a heart full of sorrow.

"Become someone stronger. Someone of higher authority."

Micheal's words echoed in Leon's mind.

Even in his darkest moment, a flicker of determination burned within him.

He would not rest until he had uncovered the truth until justice had been served for his parents and their names had been cleared. And with that resolve burning brightly in his soul, Leon rose to his feet once more.

Staring at the sky, he roared in fury to show his resolve.

"I...I won't give up matter what...I won't give up when I find those scum and make each one of them pay."

However, just as he made a declaration, the sound of thunder struck the place, and dark clouds covered his vision.

Seeing the huge clouds made him feel how small he was.

He didn't even know who framed his parents and who set them up.

He didn't know anything at all and as the officer said several political figures were involved in it.

Feeling lifeless he sat there at the side of the pavement. With dim eyes, he slurped on the floor.

After his hopes were crushed, all he could see was a huge darkness blocking his sight.

"What should I do?"

"Mother….Father….What should I do…"

"Everything is dark..."

BOOM!

A ray of lightning pierced through the sky lightening the sky

Drops of rain started to splatter onto him washing his whole body and drenching him in rain.

He didn't know whether his cheeks were wet due to rain or tears of helplessness.

At that time, the rain hitting him suddenly stopped and a huge umbrella covered him, taking him by surprise.

"Why are you standing here like a statue? You will be sick."

Then as he turned his head, he saw a small petite figure shouting while grasping an umbrella.

"Just looking and come closer."

A small blonde-haired girl swaying in the rain held the umbrella to protect him from the rain.

"What are you doing?"He asked with a confused expression and stepped back.

"Protecting you from rain!"

"Why?"Leon asked, unable to understand the girl's thoughts

"Does one even need a reason to help someone?"The girl asked, tilting her head.

No one had ever shown him sympathy and maybe this girl would be the same after he learns that.

"You won't say that after you know who I am?"

"Huh! But I know you…Aren't you Leon living at Pity Children Orphanage and you are very famous as your parents were involved in a very huge case like killing many. "

"Then shouldn't you avoid 'cause I am a bad guy."

"Who said that? You are a good guy, I saw you save the cat a few days ago, and just because your parents were bad doesn't mean you are also bad."

"You…."Leon was baffled by the girl's thinking and wondered if she was sane.

"What are you? Stop wasting time and come closer."The girl screamed and pulled Leon closer to her so that he could be shielded properly from the rain.
