PREVIOUSLY: And the moment she stepped out . . . Each of them drew a kitchen knife off the table right away and pressed it against the other's throat.

"Eh? Is that how you treat your Father? Leonardo my BOY?!!"

Mia walked into the kitchen to check on the duo and then she saw . . . . Just the two of them washing the dishes.

Jonathan thanked them for the awesome meal, Leo waved him goodbye, for some reason these two were smirking at each other. Leo walked upstairs while Jonathan was walking to his Limo.

It was game time. Leo closed his room's door and Jonathan closed his limo's door behind him.

Jonathan took off his jacket while Leo put on his hoodie and mask. Seems like shit is gonna go down.

Leo holstered his two military combat knives and about ten throwing knives with hand grenades attached to their handles with adhesive tape. He doesn't usually use guns but he decided to keep them as a last resort.

Jonathan's Limo drove off. The serial killer was running across houses roofs, following through dark alleys, and keeping his eyes on the limo. Just as he prepared to throw one of the throwing knives with the hand grenade he heard Jonathan speaking on his phone thanks to his enhanced hearing.

"Are you at Nyxx's yet? . . . Good . . . . . make it quick then!" Jonathan hanging up his phone.

The serial killer's eyes widened upon hearing that, he jumped from a wall to another in the alley until he reached the top of the building, running off to Nyxx's house.

Nyxx was putting up a good fight against the Assassins hired by Jonathan, stabbing with a small knife and kicking right and left but still took a few cuts from their swords and knives, she had to take cover as two of them withdrew their handguns and shot at her.

And that's when she saw some creepy male in a hoodie and a mask falling through the glass of her mansion's roof on one of them stabbing the back of his neck with his blades.

He then landed on his feet, twisting both his knives around his fingers when the duo shooting with the handguns saw them, they both aimed at him but before they could get a clear shot, the Serial Killer threw both his knives. The two knives twirled in the air until each of them stabbed both the shooters' heads, a knife each.

Another two surrounded the Serial Killer's sides and each of them raised his Japanese Katana, trying to chop the Serial Killer to pieces. At that moment Leo thought he was in some creepy Ninja Turtles movie.

The serial killer withdrew two throwing knives from his belt and raised them to intercept both the swords, he then pushed them up, away from him in an attempt to push both of the assassins backward, and in a swift motion he stabbed both of them in the torso with both the throwing knives, he then jumped up and kicked the first one in the chest with his right toe and the second one with his left toe, kicking both of them at the same time away from him. Both of them got kicked and fell on their asses when they noticed the grenades attached to the knives handles and holy shit the grenades rings were removed.

The Serial Killer raised both the grenades rings, showing them to the assassins like they are some sort of wedding rings.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!-..."

BOOM! BOOM!

"Wow" Nyxx was amazed as the Serial Killer managed to take them all out on his own, saving her cute little billionaire butt.

The Serial Killer walked to the two shooters' bodies, picking up his military combat knives.

Slich!

He holstered them and walked towards Nyxx to check on her until he heard one of the Assassins laughing, well last one of them who survived the blast somehow and dying due to the internal bleeding and many injuries he had on his body.

"Ahahaha coughs! . . . You're too late . . . . The officer's family is pretty much slaughtered by now . . . ahaha-... coughs!-" and with that last cough, he slowly fell to his right side, dead.

The Serial Killer made sure Nyxx had no visible injuries before rushing out, when he ran away, something fell from his pocket, however.

Leo kept jumping from a building to another, trying to reach Smith's house as fast as he could, he was racing time, without any rest he kept running, running and running. He was finally there, however, all he could hear was two of the three assassins talking.

"All that's left is cleaning this shit up and going back home."

"Yeah, the boss has the girl by now, he wanted her alive and he never said the same about these two."

And out of sudden, the Serial Killer jumped through the window, performing a dragon sweep tail move with his right leg, knocking them both down, he quickly stabbed both their necks the moment they went down.

Mia was already dead. Smith was on his side, barely able to focus, with cuts all over his body.

The third Assassin came from behind in a fast motion, placing his katana at Leo's neck, trying to force its sharp side against Leo's neck with both his hands but Leo intercepted it with his knife. They both kept struggling with each other until Leo noticed Smith's handgun on the floor, he gritted his teeth and slid the gun with his right toe backward towards Smith behind them. Smith quickly grabbed the gun and shot the assassin's back three times.

Smith crawled to his wife, he started crying, watching his wife, surrounded by a blood pool, dead.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God!" Smith while crying. Leo stood there, he felt terrible witnessing that scene. It was painful, a moment filled with pain and agony, it was unbearable.

The police sirens approached the house from the end of the street.

"Get out of here, Leonardo."

Leo was shocked that the detective knows about him but it didn't matter now, he was concerned about Kira.

"But please, help Kira, I don't want to lose her too." The father looked him in the eyes with tears falling on his cheeks.

Leo nodded to him and escaped the house through the back door, he ran through the dark alleys, slipping right and left through them with high speed, all concerned about Kira's safety. It's not over yet. But it sounds like our Bloody Murderer is losing grounds and Jonathan is slowly winning this war.

Q: How is this war gonna end, Who's gonna die, and who's gonna survive? What's Jonathan's true objective behind kidnapping Kira? And what's Leonardo's plan? Does he even have a plan?
