Power and weakness

Leo's original plan would be to kill the guard that was patrolling infront of the cigar lounge before breaching and shooting anyone that actually was inside the lounge, but that wouldn't be possible. The gun would make too much noise and he would get swarmed by guards.

Leo was considering what to do but couldn't think of any real good plan.

He couldn't leave any traces of blood in the hallway since it would alert other guards, so he had to kill the guard patrolling outside of the lounge quietly without making a mess.

Then there was the fact that Leo didn't know how many guards were inside the lounge itself.

For all he knew it could be zero, but it could also be three.

Leo was at a complete loss since he still wanted to make some additional funds. In total, he would get paid 5 million for the job, 20% of 25 million.

However, he needed more for his future plans. All of the sudden, Leo heard a voice in his head.

"Do not neglect the potential of the powers I have bestowed upon you."

Leo instantly recognized the voice, it belonged to Ion.

"Right..."

Leo was mostly busy with his shapeshifter powers, not realizing that the sarkic powers bestowed upon him by Ion also had a lot of potentials.

Leo looked around and realized that no other guards except the one in front of the lounge were close.

Leo walked up to the guard and extended his hand.

"Nice to see you again."

The guard was a bit confused but shook Leo's hand.

"Why are you being so formal?"

In the meantime, Leo channelled his hate and anger, but managed to control it.

A sinister form of energy released from Leo's body and the guard instantly collapsed.

Leo had used his sarkic powers to rupture the man's heart and to close his throat off completely.

The moment the man dropped Leo put his hand on the door and channelled more energy.

A small eye grew on the opposite side of the door, controlled by Leo.

It appeared that there was one more guard in the room and Leo quickly entered, dragging the collapsed guard with him.

"I need your help I think he's having a heart attack!" yelled Leo.

The guard that was inside the lounge itself panicked a bit before running toward Leo. He took out a radio and was about to call for someone to call an ambulance but was stopped by a blade to the skull.

Leo didn't have to worry about making a mess inside of the lounge since no one would be entering any time soon

. However, Leo did take the time to move the corpses out of sight.

"That was surprisingly easy." thought Leo.

The voice of Ion once again echoed through his head.

"Learn to combine both your powers efficiently, once you do you will become stronger."

Leo acknowledged what Ion said and continued looking around the cigar lounge.

Nothing really of value could be found except for some cigars ofcourse, but Leo left them for now since they were too bulky to carry around.

If he wasn't detected by the end he would take it with him, he didn't know much about cigars but he doubted that they would be cheap.

Now that Leo secured the cigar lounge, he was preparing to move on to the bedroom.

He had no idea how many guards were there, so he would have to scout it out a bit first. After all, he didn't want to make a sloppy move.

Leo approached the bedroom and noticed that it had two guards standing outside of it, on high alert. They kept eyeing every guard that passed, and it was understandable.

Someone could easily trap the bedroom so that when the target would enter they would die.

For a bit Leo considered if it was worth going into the bedroom since he would have to be quick and he didn't know if any guards were in the bedroom itself. However, the rewards could me massive, so in the end he decided to commit.

Leo sighed as he thought about what Ion said.

"Combining my powers... Shapeshifting and a sarkic blessing..."
