hunting light

Following his breath, Leon came to the atrium, identified the direction, and was a little uncertain whether Ian was heading towards the west wing or the front door.

There was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps in the direction leading to the backyard.

Kent was yelling angrily, "Are you sure he's in the house?"

"That's right," his brother Luke whimpered.

"Find it for me!" Kent shouted.

"Let me remind you, Brother Kent." Sangxia's voice was still sweet and obedient, "This is the Parthenon Manor, not our home. I'm afraid it's not good for you to bully the Duke's eldest son so wantonly."

"Who's 'our family' with you, bastard!" Luke scolded, "he's just like you, just a bastard!"

"Shut up, Luke!" Kent yelled. "Don't you think today is not ashamed enough?"

Leon sneered, and hid in a small preparation room next to the stairs, listening to the group of people running around the building like frightened mice.

It was stuffy in the prep room.Leon tore off his bow tie and took off his hat, his bangs were already wet with sweat.

Why don't you go away?Leon thought.

He was so annoyed that he wanted to kick the door open and jump on Kent for a fight.But Father Ian would definitely be unhappy.He really doesn't like fighting with others, and even saying a few provocative words will make him frown.

Ian hopes that he can be a calm and smooth person, try not to use simple violence, but use more advanced and sensitive means to resolve disputes.

It was quite a test for a boy who was not yet 13 and had never been taught much about it.

Leon exhaled a hot suffocating breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to pop out of his chest.But looking at the heart rate records on the bracelet, all values ​​are normal.

"Where the hell?" Kent complained outside.

"Where is it?" Leon also muttered in the small room, "Father... Ian..."

"Maybe this nurse is Xiali's friend. He's just funding his friend through the foundation." The Duke of Oran raised his legs and didn't care. "Because you've been giving money for more than 80 years, are you suspicious?"

"No." Ian said, "Of course I know that there are many secrets in this kind of private charitable foundation, and I don't want to ask about it."

"Why?" asked the Duke, "because of loyalty to Charade?"

"Because of responsibility and power, my lord." Ian raised his eyes to look at the Duke, "I have only been granted very little power by him, so I don't want to take on the responsibility of prying into his privacy. Besides, we all have different It can be seen that the original sin of man is a weakness that we must overcome. I also want to retain my respect and love for the archbishop in my heart, and choose to keep a little distance from his privacy."

"Not stupid." The Duke chuckled, affirming the priest's IQ, "But you still kept asking, didn't you?"

The young priest was still half leaning on the sofa, his back was straight, and one arm was still hanging abnormally.It can also be seen from his trembling fingers that although his face is calm, his body is still immersed in the aftertaste of panic and pain.

"Yes, but it wasn't intentional." Ian lowered his eyes again, his slender eyelashes blocking his eyes, "That month, the remittance to this account was unexpectedly returned, and the reason indicated was that the other party died and canceled the account. .I wanted to report this to the archbishop. But the secretary—in fact, he didn’t like me and thought I was going to flatter him—he stopped me and sent me to express condolences on behalf of the archbishop.”

"So you came to the door on the orders of the Duke?" the Duke.

Ian nodded: "When I came to visit, the son of the other party knew that I belonged to Archbishop Xiali when he saw my robe. He was very kind, thanked the archbishop, and immediately took me to meet someone."

"Who?"

"One..." A sharp fire alarm rang through the mansion.

The alarm lights in the room started blinking.To make matters worse, the fire sprinkler head sizzled and began to spray fire extinguishing agent.

The extinguishing agent is a clear liquid with a low-quality chemical fragrance.And because the Parthenon Manor is full of antiques and wooden furniture, it is a serious fire hazard, so the fire sprinklers are installed like beans, all over the ceiling.

The small room instantly turned into a shower room, and the fire extinguishing agent splashed down, making Ian and the Duke unable to open their eyes.

"Damn it!" the Duke cursed, furious, "I must strangle this bastard to death!"

2 minutes ago.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the back hall, Leon slipped out of the preparation room gently.

The father's rigorous training of the boy is showing results.The blond boy was tall and slender, but as nimble as a leopard cat.He walked steadily, mobilizing every muscle in his body to walk, breathing long and softly, without disturbing a feather, and fused himself with the surroundings.

He passed behind two chatting Kent footmen without even needing to hide.The other party didn't notice anything unusual.

"He must be hiding, coward!" Kent gritted his teeth. "I have another fight with him tomorrow. I'm afraid he won't dare to come."

The children were laughing and laughing, and you started to make fun of Leon.

"Boom—" An abnormal sound came from a small salon.

Kent immediately motioned for silence, and whispered: "I can smell that kid's stench. He's hiding there!"

He then said loudly: "The room has been searched, and there is no one there!"

While waving to his companions, he quietly approached the small salon.

There was only one lamp on in the room, and the light was feeble.

Alpha's keen hearing allowed Kent to catch a little bit of movement behind it.He pointed behind the couch and made a outflanking gesture.

The children split into two groups and went around behind the sofa.

"Aha—" Kent rushed over with the ecstasy of venting his anger, but he didn't expect to miss it.

There is no one behind the sofa, only a doll played by a little girl is placed in a sitting position leaning against the foot of the sofa.The doll's face is weird, with an extremely large nose that takes up almost half of the face.

"What are you doing?" Kent grabbed the puppet.

In the corner outside the door, Leon said softly to the bracelet: "I like Kent very much."

The puppet's nose popped out with a cough, right into Kent's nostril.

"Pfft—" The children's laughter was the most genuine and frank.Everyone laughed at Kent's appearance.

Leon also jumped up at this moment, and slammed the door of the small salon.Immediately, with a hook of his long legs, he picked up a tall foot next to him and pressed it against the doorknob.

With the fierce light in his eyes, he pressed his palm on the touch screen of the fire alarm.

The alarm identified his identity and sounded the alarm when no fire threat was detected.Sensitive fire sprinklers were turned on one by one, spraying fire extinguishing agent overwhelmingly, turning the entire manor house into a water town.

Except for the door blocked by Leon, all the doors opened automatically to facilitate people's escape.

The guests in the chess and card room left the card table angrily, and the lovers crawled out of the dark corner disheveled.

And Leon finally smelled the breath he had been looking for in the low-quality perfume-like fire extinguishing agent, and quickly locked the direction.

The Duke of Oran rushed out of the room cursing, helped a fallen female guest, and kicked away the male guest who was rushing to get in the way.

"Let the lady go first, you piece of cow dung! Go forward, the door is on the right side of the hall. Don't worry, friends, this house has not died in more than 100 years, and you will all leave it safely. Rhodes, what the hell Where is the fire?"

"Someone started the fire on purpose..." the butler whispered.

"Then turn off this thing for me!" the Duke roared.

Ian also walked out holding his dislocated arm, and happened to be mixed in with the panic-evacuating crowd.The Duke turned his head to look at him in his busy schedule, told the butler, then turned and walked towards him.

"Come here." The Duke said, but his hand was already grabbing Ian's other arm, pulling him closer to him.

Before Ian could figure it out, the injured arm had already been grabbed by the Duke.

"Wait!" Ian bent over in pain, but did not dare to struggle.

The Duke, however, did not hesitate to take pity on him, grabbed his hand and moved it suddenly in one direction.

The clicking sound of the joints being reset and Ian's cry of pain were covered by the screams of the guests.

Ian broke out in a cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably, with his forehead resting on the Duke's shoulder.He really suffered a lot today.

"My craftsmanship has always been highly praised, Father." The Duke patted Ian's arm triumphantly, and said lightly, "You only need to treat the contusion of the soft tissue when you go back."

Leon went up against the crowd and roughly pushed the two male servants away, but the scene in front of him made him stop suddenly.

"I'm sorry for the roughness just now, Father." But the Duke's tone sounded like he was going to discount the apology by [-]%, "You just said..."

The alarm suddenly ceased and the fire sprinklers were shut off.

"Anthony, my God!" the Duchess's shrill voice followed the sirens at exactly the same second. "Chris's still upstairs!"

The Duke took a deep look at Ian: "Our conversation is not over yet, Father."

"Yes, sir." Ian nodded gently.

The Duke ran upstairs with several servants.

Ian turned his gaze away from the Duke's back, and landed on the blond boy standing blankly in the middle of the corridor.

"Leon?" Ian subconsciously grabbed the collar of the torn robe, his face froze.

Leon didn't say a word, staring at the wrist exposed under the priest's loose cuff, there were a few clear finger marks on it.

"The fire alarm has been cancelled." Ian walked slowly towards Leon anxiously, "I heard it was a false alarm. Are you scared?"

Leon's eyes followed the priest's bare fingers and fell on his messy collar.The red marks printed on the snow-white skin are as dazzling as petals in the snow.

And as Ian approached, the sweet pheromone rushed to his face.It is as strong as if it has been fermented, piercing like nostrils, straight to the sky, making people dizzy for a while.

This was the smell that remained on Ian's clothes after sweating due to estrus.

Although Leon is not yet 13 years old, he already has a certain understanding of personnel.He knew that this was the breath of Omega after estrus, not to mention the pheromone that was left by the Duke of Oran, which was as strong as spirits, wafted in the corridor.His father was in love too!

The boy's cheeks that were bloodshot due to restlessness and strenuous exercise faded quickly, but the beast in his chest that had been restless for several days bumped into the cage frantically, finally squeezed its head out of the deformed cage, and let out a deafening roar towards the outside world.

"What's wrong with you?" Ian became more and more uneasy, looking at Leon's face, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

His hand went to the boy's forehead.

When the fingertips were about to touch Leon's wet blond hair, they were snapped open by the other party.

"shameless."
