138 Chapter 138 - Open The Door
Due to the dark bloody events embellishing the movie, Kaos actually felt so nervous he found breathing to be difficult the moment the scene shifted.
She’ll die! Kaos promptly concluded that if Mathilda was to return at this time, she will definitely end up dying.
Even though the people that massacred her family were law enforcers, those law enforcers were not followers of the principle of not killing the innocent. For their own interest, they will definitely kill Mathilda to silence this matter.
This was the darkness of human nature. Kaos was able to understand it. The darkness that emerged in this movie was much scarier than the villain in ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ It was also much more realistic.
Unfortunately, Kaos was unable to change the plot of the movie. He cannot warn that pitiful little girl.
All he could do was watch as the little girl walked toward home, a scene of death, with groceries she just brought.
At this moment, the camera deliberately closed up on Mathilda’s looks of anticipation. Furthermore, the motion of the movie even slowed down.
When the classical background music slowly started playing, the scene shifted again. The groceries Mathilda brought had appeared outside the hallway to her family’s apartment.
When Mathilda discovered her family had been killed by the law enforcers, she pretended to know nothing about them in order to survive. Under the attentive gaze from the law enforcers, she walked past her family’s apartment and arrived before the door of her neighbor’s apartment, the hitman Léon’s apartment.
Apart from being completely stunned, Kaos was unable to find any other way to describe his current emotions.
Mathilda began to sob quiet tears as she pressed on Léon’s doorbell nonstop, begging him to open the door. The impression that scene left behind in the audiences’ hearts far surpassed all those gorgeous characters in stage plays.
That little girl was real. She was so very helpless. At this moment, everyone wanted to extend a helping hand to her.
“Open the door! You’re a hitman, you’re not afraid of killing people, so why are you afraid of opening the door?! C’mon! Open the door!”
While Léon was hesitating, Kaos could hear the soft screams from the young girl sitting beside him.
But, Kaos knew that in a situation like this, the truly cold-blooded assassins would instead choose the preservation of their own safety and disregard a stranger’s cry for help.
If Léon was to open the door, it would be equivalent to saying goodbye to his former life.

But, after repeated hesitations, the demon that was living in disguise in Squirrel Street acted with much kinder heart than the human law enforcers and opened the door.
“Why… their relationship has been so good before!”
The young noble girl refuted with resentment. But, she did not receive a response from General Fred.
Kaos was someone who has experienced the greater world following his teacher. Because of that, he had interacted with some of this world’s cold-blooded assassins. As such, he knew very well that the demon hitman was in a terrible situation. If he was to bring along a little girl with him, he would be in desperate straits.
Because of that, he began to understand why Léon would point his weapon at the sleeping Mathilda. But, in the end, that demon’s kindness made him incapable of doing that cruel thing.
“Maybe he will be able to give up on his dangerous profession as a hitman,” Kaos tried to be more optimistic toward this story that was going to inevitably become a tragedy.
“That’s impossible. Those dyed with others’ blood will one day receive their payback. That demon is destined to only be able to do that job for all his life. That little girl will only bring him misfortunes,” said General Fred.
“But, that demon is still choosing to protect her…”
Kaos understood why his teacher said that the demon was lamentable. At the same time, he realized what was truly great about that demon killer.
