Chapter 63 63: Vincent's Horror.

The young man stood outside the door, and stopped. After a few moments, he pushed open the door and went inside the room. Vincent Cardinal was laying in a bed, with a few medical machines connected to monitor his condition. His face was pale, and his brows furrowed. Leo spoke in a low voice, "Indeed, you cannot run away from your demons, especially when you sleep." He walked close to the bed and then he placed the bundle of black flowers across Vincent's chest. Then he looked at the side table and used the handle of a knife to poke the place where the saline needle was connected. The sharp pain made Vincent shiver and he opened his eyes. He looked around to see what caused the pain, when he froze. He saw a pale Leo looking at him with a smirk, and the latter said, "I knew you wouldn't be incapacitated like this. The brain hemorrhage and everything else was a facade you made to save the remaining dignity of the Cardinal Group. Still relying on the tricks that my dad taught you, Vincent. You are such a parasite." Vincent was so shocked that he could not say anything, because in his mind, Leo Cardinal was dead, how could he come here and say such things to him? He shivered in his bed, and said, "Le..Leo, h..how?" Leo smiled and leaned closer to the old man as he said, "I love it when you call my name shivering in fear. Tell me Vincent, did you have fun all these years after you took control of the Cardinal Group? Did you have fun sitting on the chair my Father gave up? Did you have fun sleeping in his room, wearing his cologne and watches? Did you enjoy driving the Antelope(Car name)? Did you have fun when I delivered Echo in a coffin to you?" Vincent opened his eyes wide, and Leo continued to intimidate him, "Did you think I would let you go because you are a member of my family? Did you think I was still that naive and happy go lucky, Leo? Hahaha, such a fool you are, Vincy." His tone was akin to that of a man chatting with an old friend, but his eyes were so cold that Vincent seemed to have frozen to the core of his being. The young man did not keep on talking, he pulled the stool and sat down there as he looked at Vincent. The lighting inside the room was dim, and the air felt heavy. Leo looked Vincent right in the eye, and asked, "Are you thinking that perhaps you are having a nightmare?" Vincent nodded, and Leo used his thumb and gauded it against the saline needle, and asked, "Does it still feel like you are sleeping, dog?" Vincent winced, and just when he was about to yell for help, Leo stood up and gagged Vincent with the stem of the flowers. Vincent tried to protest but he sensed a strong stinging sensation coming from his mouth. Leo said, "Resist more, and the thorns will shred your mouth. Then you won't be able to talk to anyone at all." Vincent froze again, but Leo chuckled and a spark of mania flashed in his eyes as he began to shake the flowers while gagging Vincent. The thorns did their job, and they left multiple light and deep gashes on the inside of his mouth. After a few minutes, Leo took out the bundle of flowers and then he let go and said, "Your end will be like this too Vincent, I will make you lose everything, and then I will have you give up the last thing you have, your own life. I will not kill you, but I will make you kill yourself. When the time comes, I will tell you where to do it, till then, just sit back, prepare yourself, because you can't do anything. Remember what you used to call me? The Lion of the Cardinals, now, the lion is back, and he is going to hunt you, the one who left a wound on his soul. A wounded lion is always more dangerous than a healthy lion, Vincent. Thank you for this lesson of yours. The game has begun, happy hunting, to me." Leo laughed, he was akin to a maniac, he did not care about anything, at this moment, the hatred in his heart had completely occupied his being and if possible, he would have chopped up Vincent and fed his corpse to the maggots, but that would be too easy for such a parasite. Leo calmed down after a few minutes, and then said, "For now, goodbye, but we will meet again soon. Till then don't die." Then he stepped out of the ward and closed the door behind him. Vincent took a few minutes, before he threw away the bundle of flowers and sat up on the bed. His mouth was burning and it was bleeding as well. He could not even move it, because if he did, it would ache even more. His eyes were brimming with fear, and his face was pale as well. He pressed the attention button and called for a nurse, as he shed sweat. His mind was a wreck and he didn't even know what to think. … Meanwhile, Leo and the guards got back in the car, and they left the place. Kyle thought about something and asked, "Sir, what if Vincent Cardinal tried to team up with Carole Primus?" Leo smiled and replied jovially, "I will simply have to destroy Carole sooner than planned, what else." Kyle asked, "Sir, how can you be so calm?

Leo chuckled and replied, "The war started four years ago, and now I am ready, no matter what they have to throw, I will return it ten fold."
