Chapter 718 – The Lowly Human’s Prayer
Arriving at Edmund Immanuel's house, Leon and Wayne were greeted with enormous anger from Edmund and his father, Johnny.
"You are really careless, Leon. Didn't I tell you to continue to make sure your men are doing well, but why is it going like this? You know, Jack is not a stupid man. He is smart, he will definitely find us quickly!" Edmund said loudly, his eyes were wide as he spoke.
Leon looked at Edmund fearlessly. "I've done my job, even by the time they were about to walk to Jack's house, I also contacted them not to make a mistake."
"But what is this, huh? It's not just a mistake, Leon. This is a complete failure! A complete failure." Johnny Immanuel, who had been silent for a long time, joined in the conversation.
Leon was silent. He then took out his cell phone and connected it to Edmund's laptop which was connected to the projector.
"See that, all the conversations I had with those two idiots. You can read for yourself, I even repeatedly asked them to leave the house immediately when caught, not to shoot," said Leon coldly when Wayne showed his conversation with the two executioners who were currently had died because they were shot by Luis' men.
Edmund and Johnny looked at each other after reading the chat between Leon and the two executioners whose identities were now being sought by the police in Luxembourg.
"Have you secured everything? I mean, what about the traces of the two men?" asked Edmund again.
"Relax. My men have handled everything in Luxembourg. As soon as the two men died, all their IDs were destroyed, including all the electronic equipment they used. So at this point, I'm pretty sure the police won't be able to find evidence from these two idiots," Leon answered confidently.
"Why are you so sure? Even if they don't have IDs, they still have fingerprints, the police will definitely check them for fingerprints," said Edmund flatly, showing his annoyance at Leon.
Leon smiled. "That's exactly what I want."
"What do you mean?" Edmund and Johnny asked in unison.
"The two men are citizens of a country whose citizenship was revoked after they proclaimed themselves to be part of a terrorist group in the Middle East. In other words, the two men do not have real identities. If the police find out their names using fingerprints then what will come out are their real names, which of course are not recognized by any country, so you two take it easy. I'll make sure we won't be dragged into this case," Leon answered at length full of confidence.
Johnny took a deep breath, looking calm. "Good. At least, you're still of some use. Not so stupid."
Hearing someone else insulting his master, Wayne Scott's anger came. He almost waved his hand to teach the old man a lesson if he wasn't calmed by Leon who immediately blinked one eye.
After the tension ended, Edmund then invited Leon to continue their conversation and to devise a new plan to continue the plan that had fallen apart. At this point, they decided to give Jack some peace first, and waited for him to let his guard down to attack again.
The group of brokenhearted people united to separate a husband and wife who had been blessed by God. They forget that Jack and Anne were not a couple who had only been married for a year or two. Their relationship even existed for a long time before they realized that they had feelings for each other.
Meanwhile, in the hotel room next to Leon's room, at this time, a woman, who had just wiped the blood from her nose, was smiling broadly after seeing the news on the television about the terror that the Clarke family residence in Luxembourg. The woman, who was none other than Steffi, smiled after learning that no one was injured except for the terrorists at the Clarke family residence.
"Thank you for helping me Lord," the woman said quietly, looking at her face in the mirror.
The pale and sad face was clearly reflected on the mirror. The owner of the face that was once fresh and fit now looked very weak after leukemia had eaten away her body.
"Calm down, Anne, as long as I'm still alive, I will try to help you from afar. At least, with this, God will lighten my punishment a little."
Unbeknownst to Leon or Edmund, Steffi who lived next to Leon's room managed to find out all the plans that Leon made to kidnap Christian. Therefore, Steffi bravely infiltrated Leon's room at night when Leon was calling two prostitutes to satisfy his desire. Steffi managed to get Leon's cell phone and gave orders to the two executioners to shoot immediately if they felt threatened. Steffi, who already knew the condition of Jack's house in Luxembourg, deliberately gave such an order so that Jack's men would shoot them immediately so there would be chaos. At least, with such chaos, Jack would be more alert. And what Steffi hoped for had happened, because now the news of the attack had spread to almost all European countries, not just the Schengen countries.
At the doctor's verdict, she lived on borrowed time. Steffi was desperate to break into Leon's room, who was still her husband, to disrupt the crazy man's plans, as Steffi had realized all her mistake and was trying to repay Anne's services in the past. Even though in the end Steffi became a prostitute after being framed by Leon, she felt calm because she was not burdened with her ambition to become Mrs. Ganke again.
Steffi felt that her fate as a prostitute had been ordained by God. If at that time Anne had not saved her, she might have become a prostitute by now. Because of that, Steffi didn't regret her new job after being kicked out by Leon. At least, by being a prostitute, she knew that Leon was actually more crooked than the men who have paid for her services to serve them in bed.
At least, according to Steffi, those mashers still have the conscience to give her money after being given pleasure by her, unlike Leon who never thought of him as a woman.
"Cough … cough …"
Fresh blood poured out of Steffi's mouth again after she coughed. Instead of crying and be afraid, Steffi actually smiled when she realized her condition was getting worse.
"Five more days, Lord. I beg you to prolong my life for five more days, nothing more. I have to protect the woman, who saved me, and her family, I want to repay her for her services to me, Lord. I have to protect her from those bad people, I beg of you, please grant the request of a despicable human like me this time, God," said Steffi softly with red lips due to the blood stain.
Slowly, Steffi's consciousness disappeared. The woman was lying on the carpet which had changed color because of Steffi's blood. A smile appeared on her face as she lost consciousness.
