Peter Jung stood still, rendered speechless by Mathias's actions.
Did he just go against him? Mathias did?!
He never once thought that this day would co!
As the Pri Minister was in such a shock, silence fell upon the villa for a while. Even Leon was at a loss for words.
"Are you choosing this way, Mathias?" Peter Jung finally spoke up after what seed to be forever. "All those years, I told you that there is no turning back in my life. You grew up hearing that."
"Uncle -"
"It's too late now, Mathias," Peter Jung argued in a stern voice. "I know there's no out for . However... I refused to die before I finish my task."
"So you insisted to create more victims." It was Leon who spoke up this ti. When the Pri Minister shifted his gaze to him, he t his gaze and asked, "What will be enough to make you stop, Father?"
"You must retreat if you don't want to get hurt, Leon," Peter Jung firmly said. "I don't want to hurt you or Mathias. You should go back and stop interfering in my business."
"If I insisted to stand in your way, will you kill too?" Leon Jung inquired, ignoring his father's warning.
"Leon!" Peter Jung snapped with rage. "You know I'm not that patient of a person. Don't test ." Narrowing his eyes at Mathias, he said, "Both of you should leave this place before it's too late."
"Where is Nicole? Let her go first."
With anger rushing through him, Peter Jung finds it hard to be still! However, he tried his best to keep himself in check, refusing to resort to violence again. Last ti, he lost control and did that to Mathias. He regretted it a lot and he didn't want it to happen again! However...
"Don't move!"
Daniel Gu's shouting shook the Pri Minister who was almost lost in his rage! When he looked at Leon, he noticed the handgun in his right hand!
Will he threaten to hurt him so that he could let Nicole go?!
However, the muzzle of the handgun was still pointed at the floor.
Seeing the handgun made Mathias quickly stood up. "What are you doing?" he uttered. He didn't even know that the potter brought a gun with him and... he wanted none of this!
Ignoring Daniel Gu's warning, Leon pointed his handgun at his father with one swift move. As the well-trained Young Master of the Blackhood, handling a gun was too easy for him. After all, he knew that Daniel Gu couldn't shoot him without his father's order and the chance of his father giving him such an order was... unlikely.
At his movent, Daniel Gu tightened his grip on his gun, firmly pointing at him.
"This won't work, Leon," Peter Jung said, impassive. "I'm the one who raised you. I know you well than anyone. You won't shoot anyone, let alone ."
He was reminding him that no matter what, he was his father and that he still had a place in his heart. Leon hated to admit that but... it was the truth.
"I know, Father," he uttered. "Unlike you, I'm not capable of killing anyone but... " Another swift movent and the muzzle of his handgun was pressing against his own head! His sudden and strange movent took the other three by surprise!
"I'm capable of hurting myself," he concluded with all seriousness.
Now... Peter Jung's calm deanor just a few seconds ago was completely gone! Staring at his son with horror, his face turned pale!
The ti when Leon was rushed to the hospital crossed Peter Jung's mind. When Leon thought that his mother was dead, it took a huge toll on him. One ti, he was even found unconscious in his room as he took many sleeping pills. His life was barely saved back then.
The Pri Minister still rembered how anxious he felt that day, thinking that he might lose his son. He could never forget it and now... Leon was standing before him, pointing a gun at himself.
"Leon... " he muttered, slightly reaching out his hand towards his son who was standing a few steps away. "Put that down. It's dangerous!"
Leon Jung didn't move at all. As he was too tired of all this ss, he couldn't even think properly. He truly wished for rest and to end everything. Thinking of all the things that his father did was pure tornt for him.
"I'm really tired, Father," he muttered. "Everyone I love and cared about... they always ended up suffering in your hands."
"Put that gun down, Leon!"
"First, it's my mother. Then Shara. Now, it's Aston and Nicole too."
"Leon!"
"Those 4 persons are the only ones I care about, Father. Why must you always hurt them? You can hurt instead! That will be less tornting for ."
"Listen to , Leon!"
"Because of you, I feel too ashad to even face them! Why must you turn my life into hell?!"
Peter Jung stared at Leon's lifeless eyes. He realized that this wasn't good. He will really be willing to press the trigger if this goes on!
"You want to let go of Nicole. I will do that," he quickly said, trying his best to get Leon's attention.
"Sir!" Daniel Gu exclaid with disbelief. He will really give up on this plan?!
"There won't be another chance. Please think twice," he pleaded with his Master.
"I can find a way," Peter Jung grunted. It's not like harming Nicole Yang was in his plan! Why risk his son's life for it?!
"Leon, believe . I will release Nicole. I didn't lay a hand on her, not even once," Peter Jung uttered, shifting his attention back to his son. His voice was sohow desperate and it was rare coming out of soone like him!
Standing a few steps beside Leon, Mathias was unsure of what to do. It seed like his uncle was really willing to relent this ti and that's a relief, but... the seriousness in Leon's eyes made him felt uneasy!
He really won't shoot himself, right?
"What are you waiting for?!" Peter Jung grunted, eyeing Daniel Gu. "Go and bring her here. Hurry!"
Though Daniel Gu felt hesitant, he still complied with the Pri Minister's order like he always did.
"Leon, listen to . I will do whatever you want," Peter Jung said, cautiously. Eyeing Leon's index finger that was on the trigger, anxiety swept over him like a tide! What's more, Leon's silence was killing him!
"I will release Nicole. I will do anything. So, please... put down that gun," he pleaded once again.
"Why did you care whether I live or die, Father?" Leon finally muttered again but... his voice was too lifeless. His unstable ntal state used to be triggered when he was put under too much pressure or when he was too desperate and that's what exactly happening right now.
"You never care about my tornt. Even if I died, it won't make any difference to you," he added.
"That's not the case, Leon!" Peter Jung grunted. When he noticed Daniel Gu coming out with Nicole, he quickly turned back to his son. "Look, Nicole is fine. I will fulfil my promise and let her go. But you should put down the gun."
Nicole had no idea about what happened when Daniel Gu ca to get her. But now that she saw Leon, she started to understand what was going on. However... she instantly felt troubled by what Leon was doing!
What if he really hurt himself?!
