137 Chapter 137 - The Screening for ‘Léon: The Demon’

“How have you been, Leon?”

“Good.”

“Okay. Let’s talk business then.”

The screening for ‘Léon: The Demon officially began.

It did not have a beautiful operatic performance like the opening of ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ Instead, it went straight to the point.

The opening cut scenes of the dark and messy Squirrel Street, the close up and simple conversation between Léon and his employer… they’ve established the prevailing theme of the movie.

Why… would it be the Squirrel Street?

Having lived in Norland year-round, Kaos was extremely flabbergasted by it.

There were only ice-cold ‘firearms’ and a bunch of underground associations engaged in the ‘magic craving crystal’ trade.

When the grim demon hitman used his special ‘weapon’ to utterly crush and then kill the members of those underground organizations, Kaos was able to hear many noble ladies among the audiences screaming in fright.

The noble ladies living sheltered lives were momentarily unable to comprehend the scene filled with blood and corpses.

Kaos frowned. He did not expect for the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe that were known for their graceful and gorgeous performances to film such a bloody scene.

In the movie ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ not a droplet of blood could be seen. As for ‘Léon: The Demon, it was filled with blood right from the start. Accompanying the blood were over a dozen corpses.

Later on, the fat leader of the underground association took out an arcanotech ‘communicator.’

The hitman Léon slowly walked out from the shadow behind him and placed his knife on the fat leader’s neck. At that moment, Kaos felt his body shivering from head to toe. It wasn’t because he was afraid. Rather, it was because that scene was simply too cool!

The beginning scenes had completely revealed to the audiences how powerful that demon hitman was.

What will happen later? Would they meet the main female lead played by Miss Gallolei?

The law enforcers in charge of the ‘magic craving crystals’ trade unleashed a ruthless massacre upon Mathilda’s entire family.

During the first massacre, many noble ladies were able to handle it. But, this massacre caused them to all open their eyes wide and cover their mouth in astonishment. Some of the younger nobles even had their eyes covered by their parents.

The darkness and bloodiness of this world was once again bared naked to the audience by that massacre.

The close-up scene showing the features of the leader of the law enforcers, Stansfield, caused the person seated next to Kaos to jolt back in fear.

Kaos knew that the character Stansfield was a villain. Furthermore, he was completely crazy and unhinged. But, Kaos kept feeling that the villain possessed a special sort of charm that made it difficult for one to dislike him.

In less than an hour since the movie started, two bloody massacres had occurred. This had completely informed the crowd that… this movie was not a romantic fairy tale!

“Fortunately that little girl wasn’t home…”

Kaos was able to hear the rejoicing whisper from an audience. But, perhaps the director has seen through the heart of the crowd, the scene was intentionally and maliciously cut from the blood-drenched massacre to Mathilda who was out getting groceries.
