The box suddenly opens on its own and the Mysterious Red Cube inside jumped towards Leo's right palm. It was very fast that he didn't even have enough time to be able to think and dodge the incoming Red Cube.

After the Red Cube landed on Leo's palm, it immediately started digging itself into his skin. He didn't feel any pain though, but itchiness.

Leo started shaking his hand when he noticed that the Red Cube was getting embedded deeper in his right palm. He kept on trying to get it off, but the Red Cube was only inserting itself deeper into his right palm the more he shakes.

As the second passes, the Red Cube was embedded itself deeper and deeper until it was nowhere to be found on Leo's right palm anymore. He thought that the problem was over, but he suddenly started feeling something weird in his hand.

At first, Leo only felt itchiness on his palm. But, as the minute passes, his hand began to heat up slowly. The heat wasn't really that hot from the very beginning. It was like when someone moving their finger fast to a candle flame. However, it just got hotter and hotter as time goes on, with no way of cooling down. The heat wasn't only felt towards his right palm; it was slowly spreading from his entire right hand until to his entire body.

Leo tried to run towards the bathroom to try and cool it the hotness down, but he was horrified when he realized that he was actually unable to move even a single step anymore.

At this moment, Leo was covered in sweat as he realized the direness of his situation. If he could turn back the time, he would surely not come any closer to the box, even a single millimeter.

However, it was too late to regret it now. Soon, the heat finally covered Leo's entire body. He became so worn out, trying to endure the heat. He was even struggling to keep on standing. His energy had been slowly being depleted to the very bottom, while his mind and spirit had reached their very limit.

It was just so hot for Leo to endure any further.

Suddenly, Leo fell to the ground in pain. His view was slowly getting blurry until his eyes finally closed. He became unconscious.

What will happen to him now?

What was that mysterious Red Cube?

Was he going to die now?

Leo had too many unanswered questions in his mind. It would be so depressing if he could not get any answer to those questions.

.....

Two hours later, Leo finally woke up from being unconscious. His body was aching all over to the point that it became hard for him to even make a slight movement.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he wasn't dead. He quickly looked around to confirm whether he was still in his room or not.

Soon, Leo became relax as he saw his bed at his side, the still familiar floor, the mat, and his room's wooden door.

Quickly, Leo tried to move his body from the floor, but he realized soon after that moving his body was really hard, it was like he was inside a box with nails surrounding him. Every movement he makes would surely cause him to hit the nails around the box, hence causing pain all over his body.

It was really painful!

Sweat had even covered Leo's head just by trying to move his fingers.

Finally, being able to somewhat endure the pain, Leo tried to push his hand to try and stand up. However, he soon noticed that his head was actually not on the floor, but was on top of something soft. He tried gripping the unknown soft thing to try and identify what it was. But he really doesn't have any idea on what it was.

Leo was aware that he became unconscious on the floor, so he should be touching a floor instead and not something soft-like object. He can also not gripped a floor, so it must be a pillow, right? But, even if Butler Xiao had noticed him on the floor unconscious awhile ago and had then transferred him to his bed, he was still really familiar with how a pillow felt like. The softness of this object in his current laying his head on was not akin to a pillow, it was more like a person's body.

Finally, Leo realized something as he tilts his head a little to the side. Just like what he had thought, it was indeed some part of a person's body, specifically the lap.

But who's lap, though?

Leo turned his head to be looked up as he soon stared at the beautiful face, "Hey, what are you doing here in my room?"

Leo was now staring at Cassandra, who was currently as red as a tomato at this moment due to his constant gripping on her lap. Although her looks have somewhat become unfamiliar, he was still able to identify her clearly.

"Stupid!" Cassandra said before suddenly pushing Leo to the floor from her lap. She then quickly stood up and walked out of the room.

Leo wanted to scratch his head in confusion, but it was really hard to do so because of the pain in his every movement. He was still really muddle-headed right now too, so he wasn't able to clearly think of the reason of why Cassandra suddenly became annoyed.

"Aysstt! Women are sometimes really hard to understand!" Leo said before he tried to stand up again.

However, halfway through when he was pushing his body to stand up, Leo's legs suddenly turned soft, and he immediately fell back down to the ground.

Leo's mind became blank and his eyes closed. He lost consciousness, again.

It was already morning when Leo woke up. Unknowingly, he was sleeping on the bed now instead of the floor... or Cassandra's lap...

Leo could still remember clearly just how soft Cassandra's lap felt like. He quickly shook his head to stay away from such a perverted thought.

Leo quickly noticed that there wasn't anything wrong with his body anymore at this moment. In fact, it wasn't aching or in pain to move anymore. He breathes a sigh of relief before he slowly stood up from his bed.

Obviously, someone had carried Leo to his bed when he lost consciousness for the second time. He thought that it might be Butler Xiao, since he knew that Butler Xiao would always check his room every night before going to sleep. So, it was probably him that carried him on his bed last time, or maybe Cassandra...

Leo quickly shook his head as he turned his attention towards the empty box at the corner and then to his right palm where the Red Cube had embedded itself last night. He was sure that he wasn't imagining or dreaming what had happened last night. The Red Cube had indeed jumped to his right palm and embedded itself within.

At this moment, Leo was thinking of a reason why it had jumped to his palm. But he was only able to think of one reason for it, and since it had already happened, he had no other choice but to believe in what his parents had told him before.

Base on what Leo could remember, his parents had told him repeatedly that the Red Cube has its own consciousness. That it would only activate itself when it could sense that something was threatening their life in the near future.

Since Leo was the only remaining person from the Heart family, then surely that something threatening would happen to him... But what was threatening his life, though?

Cassandra? Leo shook his head. A slave could never hurt his master.

Butler Xiao? Fatty Ben? General Kevin? Van? If they wanted to hurt Leo, then they should have done it a long time ago. So who was threatening his life?

Why would his life even be threatened in the first place? Leo could remember clearly that he had not offended anyone in all this time. Also, he didn't hear that there was someone after his life or even someone that hated him. So, why did the Red Cube suddenly activated itself?

There was only one thing Leo could think of... The Crimson Rose Kingdom!

"Did they discovered that Cassandra was with me?" Leo said. But his thoughts were telling him that it was impossible.

Leo had clearly burned everyone from the Blood race that they had met yesterday to ashes. Even if the other Blood races could discover those ashes, they would still not have any clue as to who did it.

And, even if they could use some kind of powerful spell to get information from those people even though they're dead, those people would still not be able to get any information about Leo's whereabouts since those who died didn't even have any idea who Leo, and the others were, hence it was really impossible...

That wasn't what's important here, though...

"If ever it can sense that something threatening would happen to me..." Leo fell into deep thought.

"Don't tell me it has a sense that something dangerous would happen to me in the near future!" Leo said as he became really shocked with the thought of such an idea.

If Leo's idea was indeed correct, then what the heck was that Red Cube. Where did his parents even find such a mysterious object? It was really scary thinking that it has the ability to sense something from the near future.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened, again......
