Alexander nodded, his eyes flashing with understanding. He knew that Leonardo was a skilled fighter, but he also knew that his place was in the shadows, pulling the strings and manipulating the game from behind the scenes.
The team moved out, their footsteps echoing in the night.
Alexander and his team fought bravely and swiflt, taking down the assassins one by one. But the leader, a tall, menacing figure, managed to escape. Alexander chased after him, his sword flashing in the moonlight. Finally, he cornered the leader in a dark alley.
"You're not going anywhere," Alexander said, his eyes glinting with determination.
The leader snarled, his eyes blazing with hatred. "You'll never take me alive," he spat, his sword flashing in the moonlight.
Alexander smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, but I will," he said, his sword clashing with the assassin's.
The leader was no match for Alexander, and soon he was subdued and taken to the Salvadore mansion. Leonardo was waiting for him, his eyes gleaming with a fierce intensity.
"So, you're the leader of the assassins," Leonardo said, his voice low and measured. "I must say, I'm impressed. You're quite skilled."
The leader glared at Leonardo, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I'll never talk," he spat. "You'll never get anything out of me."
Leonardo smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, but I think you will," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "You see, I have something that you want. Something that you need. And I'm willing to trade it for information."
The leader snorted, his eyes flashing with disdain. "You don't have anything I want," he sneered. "You're just a foolish mortal, trying to play games with someone far more powerful than you." he smirked, oblivious to the fact that he was in the midst of a pure blooded vampire family who could kill him in an instant.
Leonardo chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, but I think I do," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "You see, I have your life. And I'm willing to trade it for information."
The leader's eyes widened, his face pale. He realized that Leonardo was not joking, that he was willing to do whatever it took to get the information he wanted.
"Okay, okay," the leader said, his voice trembling. "I'll talk. I'll tell you everything."
"The M-Master is looking for Valeria. He's been searching for her for years, and when he finds her, he'll destroy her and there's nothing you can do to save her."
Leonardo's eyes gleamed with interest. "And who is this Master?" he asked, his voice low and measured.
But the leader just shook his head, his eyes flashing with fear. "I can't tell you that," he said, his voice trembling. "He'll kill me if I do."
Leonardo's face hardened, his eyes cold. "You should have thought of that before you tried to attack," he said, his voice dripping with menace.
And with that, he nodded to Alexander, who stepped forward and shot the leader mercilessly. The leader's eyes widened, his face pale, as he realized that he had made a fatal mistake.
