Jonathan was a local mafioso who smuggled drugs and uncommon minerals through the ship. Recently he got an order from overseas to smuggle a kind of medicine and sell it to local people which was quite harmful.
Fortunately, Rohan managed to get aware of it and banned it thereby attracting Jonathan's anger.
In an abandoned building a few minutes away from the cargo site.
Leon closed his eyes and focused on the building while thinking deeply.
Outside, there was a group patrolling consisting of ordinary people. Few of them had pistols while the ones inside had rifles and guns.
Leon also sensed the faint aura of the qi practitioner who might form the core of the group.
Assassinating or killing them was quite easy for Leon but saving kids in the midst of this wasn't a farce.
As for armed men, Leon's storage was already stocked with all kinds of weapons to the brim and he also had a bulletproof vest, all brought from Zephyr.
Leon hatched a plan and decided to begin with the five outside.
Waiting for the suitable moment, Leon took a step directly and appeared in front of a guy in an instant taking him in shock.One of them felt a breeze hitting before his vision rotated 180° with a faint crackle. An influx of pain swallowed him but by that time he had already died.
Killing and hiding one, Leon dismantled the other. His actions were calculated and his fist traveled with extreme speed, striking the men's throat and back of the head knocking them out.
Knocking the five, he held two guys and pulled them inside the building under everyone's eyes.
"What the fuck?"
"Who is he? How did he sneak in?"
Panic and chaos ensued immediately and the ones inside already loaded their rifles to shoot.
Leon immediately pulled the two to use as a shield and screamed.
"I mean no harm. I am here to meet the boss Jonathan. I just took them down because they attacked me."
"Identify yourself."
"Noel Star, a rookie businessman from Zephyr. You can inquire about me from the Branch manager Corry of Flame City," Leon answered.
With the concealment technique, he was just an ordinary person before a practitioner's eyes. His system also acts as a layer lowering his level by one.
There were ten men and a few workers who were unloading things. They stared at one another with confusion.
One of them informed the boss.
Dave, a Tier 4 Body enchantment realm who was in charge here, heard a buzz and took the call.
"Okay, boss!"
"You can come with me."Dave permitted Leon to smile.
"Good. It seems your boss knows how to do business."
Four people came and searched Leon. Except for the brown ring, they couldn't find anything.
Truly ordinary....Nothing outstanding.
Guarded by three men and Dave, Leon was taken to an upper floor.
Leon's nostril twitched as the heavy vulgar smell of smoke and weeds assaulted him. Those smells for some reason always irked him, that's why he stayed away from smoking.
While walking, hiding from everyone's eyes Leon observed his surroundings looking for cameras or any traps but it didn't look as if there were any.
The door of the room was opened, and a colorful sight hit Leon.
A burly man with tattoos all over his body, set on a sofa surrounded by three feisty beauties massaging him.
Two men were wearing black specks that seemed to be guarding him with the utmost attention.
Name:JonathanAge:49
Realm:Mid Martial Master
Leon raised his brows as he looked at the floating string of words.
'Isn't his level a bit high for a random thug boss?'
'His sidekicks are also at Martial Disciple. I also sensed other Tier 4 people here. Thank god, I didn't act haughty otherwise things might have become troublesome.'
He didn't want the two kids to pay with their lives for his madness.
"You harm my guards. And when caught, you are saying that you come here to do some business."
"They attacked me when I said..."
"Hold him."
The moment Jonathan ordered, Dave and three beside Leon grabbed him.
"What?"Leon screamed in a flustered expression.
Jonathan walked toward Leon, staring at him carefully, punched.
BOOM!
Leon's body bent down and his face distorted with a deep agony. The people holding Leon also felt an impact.
Streaks of saliva leaked from Leon's lips and his eyes became hazy.
"You are a newbie whom I have never seen before. With your meager strength, I don't think you are here to kill me. So, I can only think that you are sent by someone with ulterior means.''Jonathan frowned, tore Leon's shirt, and pulled out bulletproof inner clothes.
'Oh! That's the hard thing I felt.'
"Fool!''Jonathan spat, turning around and slapping Leon's face making his cheeks swell.
"AAH!"
"Throw him in prison and torture him until he forks out his true motives."
"I am here for a business believe me. Hey..."Leon pleaded and cried in panic.
Leon threw his arms around and tried to get out but the two people held him tightly.
"It's okay. We can proceed if we find out that you don't harbor any ill intentions. Just think of me as paying up for harming my guards. Also, one of you go and check on the ones he knocked out, "Jonathan smirked at Leon who was taken away while he jumped into the arms of the beauties who grumbled.
"What a useless prick!"
"Yes, he wasted our time for nothing."
"Don't worry girls.No there is one to distract us," Jonathan spoke with a lustful gaze.
....
Meanwhile, Leon was taken to a dark basement from where he heard pleas and sobs.
It was a huge cellar and Leon saw their dried corpses around the corner.
The place smelled like filthy rotten fish mixed with a pungent rotten egg, strong enough to open one nose blocked by cold.
Looking around, his eyes caught the sight of two frail figures.
"Please have mercy. At least investigate my background before torturing me."
SLAP!
"Shut up son of bitch. Stop screaming."
"Where is the confidence that you have shown before?"Dave ridiculed, making others laugh their ass off, and threw Leon.
THUD!
Leon fell onto the ground emitting a groan.
While acting, Leon sensed two kids cuddling with each other and shivering frightfully. They were alive and breathing...
There were few people outside but they didn't pose any danger to him.
"Take his ring also, it might be something valuable," Dave ordered his man.
Just as the men bent down, a chuckle echoed in the empty place.
"That might be a difficult request."
Swoosh!Swoosh!
Two flickers appeared in the darkness, which was followed by a spurting of blood.
Leon rotated his body and threw the dagger at a breathtaking speed.
Dave flinched back in terror. All he saw was Leon's hand whipping in darkness before his head popped like a watermelon.
[You have gained 20 KP.]
The dagger that made its way to the wall after bursting Dave suddenly vanished and appeared right in his arms.
Leon then walked toward the two shivering kids who seemed to be quite frightened. Fortunately, it was dark to see around properly otherwise who knows how they would have reacted seeing the live murder.
Seeing the sight of the stranger who was extending his hands in darkness, they closed their eyes in fear for what was about to come.
Their bodies quivered in horror anticipating the pain.
But instead of pain, what came was a warm soft touch caressing their head and a gentle kind voice touching their hearts.
"Don't worry kids. With Big Brother here, no one will be able to touch a single hair of yours."

The number would fluctuate slightly according to the minor stage and is different in the case of the protagonist. Moreover, the numbers aren't small, they are subjective as I want to start from small values so it doesn't get out of hand.
