Chapter 244: The Sword and Magic lost? part 2 (1/2)
Moments later, Leo and Charlotte arrived in a small room. Inside the room was Madam Silva sitting on a chair with a table in front of her, while Evangelion was serving her tea at the side.
”Leo!” Madam Silva called out immediately while waving her hand as soon as she saw Leo walking inside.
”So, what does the great Madam Silva want with this lowly person?” Leo quickly greeted back.
”Drop the courtesy, we don't need that when talking with each other.” Madam Silva said before taking a sip of her tea.
”Okay! Then, let me guess, Evangelion leading a few men to attack the Pathway of Elites but only using one single Golem was actually all part of your plan to call me here, right?” Leo didn't bother hiding what he had thought about.
”Just like what I have expected, you were indeed able to understand what I wanted to say.” Evangelion joined in.
”Actually, I wasn't able to tell, but I indeed suspected it for a moment.” Leo said with a smile, ”Anyways, what do you want? It shouldn't just be because you simply wanted to have tea with me while a chaotic fight is currently happening outside that you have thought of calling to me, right? If that's indeed the case, then I would be leaving because no matter how I see it, your Sword and Magic already lost this fight.”
Hearing Leo's words, Madam Silva can't help laughing, ”HAHAHAHAHA!”
Leo was obviously attracted to the laugh, so he stopped in his motion of leaving as he turned around to looked at Madam Silva.
”Actually, the only reason why they lost was that Evangelion and Clydesdale's intention right from the very beginning was to send them into a suicide mission.” Madam Silva revealed.
Leo became surprised as he dubiously asked, ”Suicide mission?”
Madam Silva stood up from sitting as she looked at the window behind her, looking at the chaotic fight happening between the Mischievous Lion organization and the Sword and Magic organization in the Smiling Lion street.
”I know that you have been wondering why we thought of attacking you.”
”I know, it's simply because you want to use me as a bargaining chip to my Master Olivia.” Leo replied with a smile.
”If you think of it that way, then I can only say that you still lack experience, Leo,” Madam Silva said as she turned to look at Leo with solemn eyes, ”To tell you the truth, the name of the operation we are doing right now is actually named 'Slay the Queen Lion's Cubs', which simply meant to kill you, and your two senior brothers George and Charles. From the start, there was not a single bit of intention of just simply abducting you so as to use you as a bargaining chip for you Master Olivia.”
Leo became shocked right after finding out. He really didn't expect it to be like that...
”Fortunately for you, the people assigned for this operation was Evangelion and Clydesdale, and the first target was also you because for Vladimir you are a hidden thorn that should be eliminated first due to you being able to conquer Southeast Fortress the moment you've returned, therefore I was able to secretly come with them without any problem along with Angel.” Madam Silva explained. She then continued, ”At first, Evangelion and Clydesdale were really intending to kill you. They were even sharpening their weapons when I walked inside their tent.” She turned to look at Evangelion and Clydesdale, who were both turning their heads away while whistling some unknown song.
Leo at the side can't help gulping down a mouthful of saliva after hearing that Evangelion and Clydesdale was actually the one assigned to kill him and they were even seriously intending to kill him, too. He is a hundred percent sure that they would be able to easily kill him, no matter how many guards he positioned around him.
”If that was indeed the case, then what made them change their minds?” Leo can't help asking. Even if Madam Silva tried to stop Evangelion and Clydesdale, she would definitely be powerless because it was the President of Sword and Magic himself that ordered the kill, after all.
”This,” Madam Silva suddenly threw Leo a letter.
It was Charlotte that caught the letter, thinking that it was some kind of weapon.
”You sure have a really cautious and at the same time powerful bodyguard, she's also perfectly suited to a person such as you, as well.” Madam Silva chuckled.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the letter, Charlotte handed it carefully to Leo.
