62. Don't Kill Him

Marco hissed sarcastically. The man realized that Leo's game was just a trap. If his guess is correct, then Caterina will know that he killed Dante. However, if he was wrong, Leo would definitely kill him. Marco glared when he saw Leo tug at the corners of his lips sarcastically.

The room fell silent. Everyone looked eagerly, waiting for Marco's answer, but the man froze. Obviously Marco guessed correctly because he shot Dante in the head. Leo's trap really kills the opponent. Apart from being good at fighting, Leo is also very cunning in games. He always has brilliant ideas to knock out opponents. That's why until now, no one can beat Leonardo Bianchi from La Vendetta. Even his cruelty among the mafia has been recognized throughout the world. Whoever dares to go against him will end up wearing down. Leo also doesn't look at his opponents, whether they are from the upper class or not. For Leo, fighting Marco was nothing he should be afraid of.

“You are truly cruel and cunning.” Marco clenched his fists.

"You just have to answer it. Shouldn't you still remember where the muzzle of the gun is pointed? You were clearly standing in front of me at that time," Leo sneered.

“Hurry up. You shouldn't need much time to think because I'm sure you still remember it.”

Marco didn't move. His sweat had soaked his back and palms because he was nervous. Marco looked at Caterina; he didn't want to disappoint her. If the truth is revealed, then he must be prepared to lose the woman he loves forever.

“I sped up the time to five seconds. You have to answer in one, two, ...”

Marco clenched his fists. His eyes glanced at the gun placed on the floor, and he prepared to take it to attack.

"Enough! Don't waste any time and get out of here before I kill you myself, Leo!” Caterina shouted from behind.

“...three, four, five. You failed.” Leo's laughter sounded annoying to Marco's ears.

Leo put both hands in his trouser pockets, then intimidated Marco with his sharp gaze.

“Look at how nervous this bastard is, Kate. He didn't dare answer because he felt trapped. He certainly remembers where the gun was pointed, but he doesn't dare answer for fear you'll hate him.”

Leo laughed mockingly. Seeing how nervous Marco was made him happy. At the same time, Caterina immediately took over the firearm that had been left lying on the floor and pointed it at Leo.

“You all step back, or I'll kill him now!” Caterina shouted at Leo's troops, who had already taken up their stance.

“Damn it!” Leo cursed.

Leo moved quickly by locking Marco's movements and hiding behind Marco's body. Marco couldn't move because his hands were locked behind his back by Leo.

“You've exhausted my patience, Marco. You made a mess, but you tried to wash your hands and pit everyone against each other. If you don't want to admit your crime, I will kill you with my hands!”

Leo's left hand moved quickly and pulled the tie he was wearing around Leo's neck. In one tug, the tie was wrapped around Marco's neck, making it difficult for the man to breathe. Caterina panicked. He couldn't focus because the two people in front of her were moving a lot.

“Lower your weapons, you fool! You can kill my brother!” Rossie ordered.

“Let him go! Quickly let go, or I will shoot you!” threatened Caterina.

“You can pull the trigger, Kate. Let's find out together who will die. Me or this damn bastard.” Leo pulled the tie around Marco's neck again.

Marco's face started to turn red because he was having difficulty breathing. This made Caterina and Rossie panic.

“You have to make that guy let go of Marco! Do whatever it takes to keep Marco safe. If anything happens to him, I swear I will kill you!" Rossie threatened Caterina.

Caterina put down her gun and raised both hands in the air. Hoping that that way, Leo would also let Marco go. On that occasion, Leo immediately pushed Marco and hit Caterina on the back of the neck until the woman fell unconscious. Marco, still catching his breath, immediately ran towards Caterina, but Leo blocked him.

“Say goodbye to everyone here because you are going to die!” said Leo.

Leo beat Marco blindly. He kicked, punched, and attacked without mercy. Seeing his opponent battered actually made Leo even more enthusiastic. Because his patience was running out, he beat Marco until he was satisfied. Marco made false accusations about her, and it made her very angry.

Rossie started to panic. Seeing Marco running out of strength and falling down made her think about helping. Rossie looked around and found the firearm that Caterina had placed. When Rossie was trying to aim at Leo, the sound of the bullet fired by Ben hit Rossie's leg and made the girl fall. Rossie tried to remove the bullet that penetrated her skin while groaning in pain. When she had managed to remove the bullet from her leg, she dragged her leg to reach Marco.

Ben cocked his firearm and pointed it at Rossie again, but Leo warned Ben to stop.

"Enough! We have nothing to do with her," said Leo.

Ben put away his firearm according to his superior's orders.

Leo crouched down, lifted Marco's helpless chin, and grinned.

"I've told you many times that you are no match for me," he said softly but firmly.

“You were the one who shot Dante, but you manipulated it and used me as a scapegoat. I'm cruel, but I don't want to be a scapegoat."

Leo threw Marco's chin, then slapped the helpless man until his nose bled. Rossie held her leg while trying to approach Marco.

“Please, stop. Enough. Forgive him, please. You came here because you wanted to take Kate away, so please take her away now. Don't kill Marco. Please," asked Rossie while hugging Leo's leg.

"Get out of the way, bitch!"

Leo jerked his leg, but Rossie continued to beg and beg for forgiveness.

“I beg you not to kill him. I promise this problem will end here and will not happen again. Take the woman as far away as possible so Marco can't find her again. Marco loves him. Don't let Marco see him again."

Rossie used the last chance she had to ask for Leo's magnanimity. Seeing that Marco was no longer opening his eyes, Leo finally agreed to let his enemy go. He was quite satisfied after making the man battered. He had also succeeded in making Caterina faint.

“Okay, I will forgive him. I will also keep your promise. Don't let him appear in front of me again. Make sure he has forgotten about Caterina when he wakes up," said Leo.

"Thank you very much. I will take care of it.”

Rossie dragged her injured leg and approached Marco. He called his men, who were still conscious, and asked them to take Marco to the room for treatment.
