Chapter 110: The Mischievous Lion organization is finally making their move (1/2)
”Yow, we got to go now, Leo!” Alfred said as he bid farewell along with Michael, Adrian, Angelo, and Raffy.
Anna was again missing because she told Alfred when he went to fetch her that she was going to be busy trying to understand how business works, so she didn't have the time to come.
”Bye, Leo, see you in school next week!” Justine said as he bid farewell along with Carlos and the Savage Foxes faction.
”We need to go too, Young Master. Don't worry about General Kevin and Van, I'll tell them that you felt a little bit sad because they didn't come to celebrate with you this time, hahaha!” Butler Xiao said as he bid farewell along with Fatty Ben.
Leo really appreciated what they had just done this time. It might just be an ordinary birthday celebration for them. But for him, it was like one of his shackles from 10 years ago was broken.
Finally, after a very, very long time, he could now slowly walk again closer towards the only light that has long been shimmering in his dark road ahead, seemingly as if it's also the only thing accompanying him in such a lonely place.
”By the way, where are Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica?” Leo can't help but ask. The moment he had arrived, the 3 girls were actually not around. It was impossible that they will miss such an occasion, right? So, he became curious where they were right this moment for them to actually miss such a joyous occasion.
”Unfortunately, Elizabeth was called by the Snow Noble Household for some important thing, I think it's about her 18th birthday. This afternoon, Angel left too, after she received Madam Silva's gift for no explanation at all. And lastly, Veronica was unexpectedly dragged away by Princess Tiana to her palace. I heard that it was because the princess was bored due to Karl suddenly leaving for a mission today, so she dragged Veronica to accompany her lonely palace.” Cassandra explained.
Leo just nodded his head in understanding. There was really an important reason why they were not around. At the same time, though, he also suddenly became curious as to why Angel and Karlos left to do something on the same day.
Although Angel and Karlos were not in the same organization, nor knew each other very well, he could somewhat feel that what the two left for was in some kind of connection. He wasn't really sure, but he thinks that it is somewhat related to the Black organization.
Though, he quickly shook his head to dismiss such an idea. As long as what they were doing wasn't something that will threaten his life or cause his secrets to be found out, then he will not dive deeper into that.
Since the party was already over, Leo soon after left Alicia and Eric to clean up the backyard as he went upstairs to take his night bath and to finally sleep.
Today was really tiring. He was practically running, hiding, killing, fighting, dodging, and lastly, carrying a lot of his harvest, all day long.
Even though he was a Mage, he was still a normal person. And although his physics was also somewhat above a normal person, what he had just done was really energy-consuming, especially since that was his first time using Magic spells in doing some of his movements.
Arriving in his room, Leo immediately noticed a familiar presence around.
*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!
*Whoosh!”
The room's door suddenly close due to a strong wind pressure that pushed it, the window seemingly closed on its own too, and the lamp in the room was suddenly put off.
”Come out, I know you're around here!” Leo said as he looks left and right, while his right hand unconsciously moved towards the location of his hidden dagger.
However, a delicate hand suddenly went to stop his hand followed along with a sweet scent of perfume.
Soon after, a really familiar mature female voice sounded right beside Leo's ear, ”Seems like my favorite student's perception had fallen down. How come you can't recognize your own Master anymore? Is it perhaps, since you're living your life in peace for a long time, hence your skills had regressed?”
Leo quickly turns around to face this woman. But then, along with his turn, the figure also followed along, causing it to remain stuck close to his rear.
”Perhaps, I should take you away from this place once again and train you? Throw you into the deep pits of darkness and force you to survive for a few months while killing all those people with you in order to survive, again. No one can hide in the darkness around you before. Why did it suddenly change? Or maybe it was my skill that had improved?” The mature female voice quickly followed up.
”Master, stop playing games, you should already be aware that my skill didn't regress, it is you yourself that had improved!” Leo quickly defended.
