Chapter 1236 Suspiria (1/2)

”Leonard, are you sure that you want to keep digging?” One of the hooligans had grown flustered upon seeing Leonard's intent of digging. Beside Leonard was a small pit, around which mud was piling up.

Upon hearing the remark, Leonard pulled a long face. He raised his head and looked around. The eerie silence that enveloped them was terrifying.

”Here you are! Now, it's your turn!” Leonard glared at the two men. Without warning, he heaved the shovel toward one of the men.

It hit him on the arm before landing with a clunk inches away from his feet. He frowned but kept quiet.

The two men kept digging. After an hour of labor, they found nothing.

”Leonard, is it possible that we're digging in the wrong place? There seems to be nothing here.” One man couldn't help but ask.

”Go on and dig in another place then. They said that the body is here. It must be around here somewhere. Quit being lazy. Dig as fast as you can. Make sure it's done before dawn so that no one will find us out.” As Leonard ordered the men, he lit a cigarette.

After what seemed like a long while, one of the hooligans screamed. He hurled the shovel to the side and backed away, looking terrified.

Seeing this, Leonard was overjoyed. He immediately dropped his freshly-lit cigarette.

He hurried over to the pit, and as expected, there lay the rotting corpse.

It was hot, and the corpse, which had been underneath the wet earth for a whole day, stank to high heaven. Leonard covered his nose with one hand and ordered the men, ”You two, hurry up. Put on your masks and gloves. Carry the body out of here. Quick!”

”Leo... Leonard, where are you going to k-keep this?” The hooligan stuttered as he spoke. Confusion and fear had prevented him from speaking coherently.
