Chapter 63: First Time... Hits Hard!
"You’ve only got your aunt left, right? Hehehe....."
Those words alone were enough to tear Leo apart from the inside. As if the final thread holding his sanity together snapped in an instant. He didn’t even think—his body moved on its own. With a furious twist, he spun around with full force, his arm yanking forward.
From beneath his sleeve, a sharp knife slipped out like a serpent uncoiling. In a single, explosive motion, he drove it upward—clean and vicious—plunging the blade from below the chin straight into Kai’s jaw.
"HAHAHAHA—"
Kai’s mocking laughter died mid-breath. His head jerked, eyes stretching wide open in shock. For a moment, everything stood still. Blood gushed from his open mouth, thick and dark, like syrup overflowing a shattered cup, running down his throat in heavy trails.
The knife had pierced from the bottom of his jaw, slicing through the flesh and muscle, driving deep into his skull with a dreadful crunch.
"Don’t. Touch. MY. Family!"
Leo’s voice came low, raw, and murderous.
He wasn’t even looking at Kai—his glare was fixed on the floor. His hand trembled slightly, feeling the warm wetness spreading across his skin.
That heat wasn’t just blood—it was rage, sorrow, and something else mixing beneath his flesh like a fever.
The handle of the knife grew slippery, and the red liquid dripped in steady beats from his clenched fingers.
