Secret Killer

Chapter 25 - Fan

Leon grabbed the kid and looked at the woman. After seeing the petrified expression on her face, he scoffed and uttered, "Do you enjoy getting beaten?" he asked the woman.

The woman shook her head and reached her hand to the kid, but Leon pulled him back and placed his leg on the woman's shoulder to hold her back.

"Do you enjoy getting beaten?" Leon asked again.

The woman shook her head violently and looked at the kid with tears in her eyes.

Leon sighed and placed his hand on the kid's head. Then, he glanced at the woman and asked, "Do you enjoy getting beaten?"

"No!" the woman yelled.

"What about this little monkey?" Leon asked the kid.

The kid looked around ten years old. However, his body was malnourished and hadn't developed enough.

The kid looked up at Leon and asked, "Do you like beating people?"

Leon was surprised by that question. He didn't expect the kid to ask him such a question.

"I love it," Leon replied. Then, he moved his hand from the kid's head to his face and asked, "What about you?" What do you prefer? Getting beaten or beating?"

The kid didn't reply and looked at his mother.

The guard regained his posture and dashed at Leon. "I will kill you!" he yelled.

He swung his fist at Leon, but he missed and fell to the floor with a thud. Leon could smell the scent of alcohol from the guard.

Leon looked at the woman and asked, "Do you enjoy seeing other people getting beaten?"

The woman pondered for a while, but she couldn't answer.

Leon shook his head in disbelief and walked to the guard. He picked him up and threw him in front of the woman and the kid. Then, he sat on the couch and uttered as he threw the belt at the woman: "Kill him."

"But—"

The woman tried to say something, but Leon interrupted her and said, "Or I will kill you and your son."

The woman froze and looked back and forth between her son and husband. She stood up and picked up the belt. She raised her hand to whip the guard but stopped and looked back at her son.

"Turn your face away," she said to the kid.

"Uh uh." Leon waved his finger and said, "You can't make orders here. The kid will see everything."

The woman made a painful expression on her face and started whipping the guard. However, her whips were so light that they weren't even making any noise. Even the guard who was half passed out wasn't reacting to her lashes.

"Belt won't do," Leon uttered. "Take something else."

The woman threw the belt on the floor and went to the kitchen to grab the knife.

"Uh uh. Not a knife. That would be too easy. I want something entertaining." Leon glanced around the room to find a suitable weapon and saw a hammer hanging on the wall. He pointed his finger at the hammer and said, "That. Use that."

The woman grabbed the hammer and stood in front of the guard's body. Then, she crouched down and looked at Leon. "What should I do with this?"

"Hmm~" Leon hummed as he pondered. "How about you fix his brain?"

The woman bit her lips and began hammering on the guard's head.

"Harder!" Leon snorted.

The woman kept hammering on the guard's head and cracked it.

"That's enough." Leon stopped the woman.

"Is he dead?" the woman asked with an anxious and curious look on her face.

"No," Leo replied. He turned to the kid and said, "Now it's your turn, kid."

"Please no!" the woman yelled and hid the kid behind her. "Don't make him do something like this."

"Keep your mouth shut, woman," Leon uttered in a solemn voice. "Kid, take that knife and take out all your frustration."

The kid picked up the knife and started stabbing the guard. He first stabbed in his stomach, and the blood immediately started coming out.

"Stab it on the face, too," Leon advised.

The kid stabbed the guard's face, but he couldn't penetrate the bones.

Even though the guard was dead, Leon wasn't satisfied because he died without feeling any pain.

"This is why you shouldn't drink alcohol," Leon muttered.

He stood up and grabbed the kid. Then, he placed the knife on the kid's neck and asked the woman: "Do you want to die first, or should I kill the kid first?"

"Please spare my kid!" the woman begged. You can kill me, but don't hurt my son!"

"Tell me one reason not to kill you," Leon uttered.

"I… I watched your live stream where you killed the president! I enjoyed it!" the woman said with an anxious look on her face.

"So, are you my fan now?" Leon asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

The woman repeatedly nodded in response.

Leon pondered for a while and said, "Alright. I won't kill you. But I will kill this kid."

"No! I will do anything! Please spare him. He has done nothing wrong."

"Then tell me a reason. Convince me not to kill him," Leon remarked.

"I will make him like you when he grows up. I will make him a killer," the woman proclaimed.

Leon glanced at the kid and asked, "Are you interested in that?"

The kid nodded and muttered, "I like it."

Leon sighed and pushed the kid into the woman's arms. Then, he walked to the door after saying, "I will leave this house immediately if I were you."

After that, he walked to the station, waited for his train, and went home.
