Chapter 310: Obvious hidden signs (1/2)
The next morning, Leo woke up when the ray from the sun hits his face. He stood up from his bed before stretching up his body.
”What a good night's sleep!” Leo exclaimed. This was his first time having such a good night's sleep once again ever since the war in Silver Kingdom began. Back in the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance camp, it was so hard to sleep inside a tent because they were only sleeping on a mattress on the floor. The moment they woke up, their back would hurt so badly.
After finishing with his stretching, Leo immediately went down to the kitchen to eat his breakfast.
The moment he arrived, he immediately saw Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte conversing with each other. All of them turned to look at him before letting out a cold harrumph at the same time and then returning back to their conversation. Their action almost looked like they had rehearsed such action many times just to greet him coldly.
Seeing this, Leo simply shrugged his shoulder off before walking forward to sit on a specific chair at the table.
”It seems like all of you also had a good night's sleep,” Leo said, trying to make a conversation with them, which only ended up being ignored. It really seems like they were really displeased with him eavesdropping yesterday, which truthfully he wasn't.
Leo coughed and said, ”About last night...”
”LAST NIGHT?” Cassandra immediately turned to look at Leo, which also prompted the others to do the same.
”DID YOU HEAR SOMEthing?” Elizabeth added as her attention turned to look at Leo.
”.....” Angel simply turned to look at Leo without making any sound, but the look on her face was enough to explain what she wants to say.
”Did someone make any WEIRD NOISES last night?” Veronica acted like he can't help asking.
”Actually, there was, it was so weird, but I don't know WHAT WORDS they were speaking.” Ash replied to Veronica's question before turning to look at Leo.
”TELL US, Leo!” Charlotte said while acting intrigued.
Leo finally understood why they were ignoring him. From the very beginning, their real intention was for him to bring up the topic of last night. Adding to the fact their obvious signs, specifically LAST NIGHT, DID YOU HEARD SOME WEIRD NOISES? WHAT WORDS, TELL US!
It was such a sophisticated sign, but he was still smart enough to understand it. Or was there even a need to use his brain? Because they made it pretty obvious already.
”Yes, last night, why did Veronica and Charlotte suddenly run out of the room when I went to check whether you were all asleep? Were you actually playing some sort of games?” Leo said before quickly acting like he was thinking. He then continued, ”Was it perhaps about who can scare me the best?”
Hearing Leo's reply, Cassandra finally gave up hiding and decided to just go straight to the point instead of beating around the bush, ”Let's just stop hiding it. Just tell us honestly if you heard our conversation last night.”
”What LAST NIGHT? Did we even have any CONVERSATIONS? Didn't we immediately sleep the moment we get INSIDE THE ROOM?” Elizabeth still continued on with her hidden signs.
”Just stop,” Angel said as she rolled her eyes.
”Yeah... we aren't getting anywhere with this if we keep on sending secret messages through our words.” Veronica nodded in agreement.
”But it's EMBARRASSING, if we immediately say the WORDS, right?” Ash argued back.
”Just please stop, look at him, he's obviously ignorant of our secret message in our words.” Charlotte said as she pointed at Leo, who she doesn't know was actually acting ignorant about it.
Seeing that some of them finally gave up hiding their real intentions, Leo decided to stop acting and said with a serious face, ”I'm fully aware that all of you just wanted to know if I know LAST NIGHT CONVERSATION INSIDE THE ROOM about some EMBARRASSING WORDS. I'll tell you, in all honesty, I didn't hear a single clear word. You obviously don't know this, but the rooms in this manor can isolate the sounds pretty well because of its unique design. Although I still heard that you were having a conversation last night, all I heard were muffled noises. And just a little tip, if you have just closed the door in your room, then I might not even be able to hear those muffle noises unless I really put my ears against the wall of your room.”
The moment Leo finished his words, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte seemingly had a perfect understanding of one another as they immediately run upstairs to test whether his words were true or not.
”Quick, do you remember how big was the open of the door last night?” Veronica asked, sounding really frantic.
”I think it was this big, right?” Cassandra replied.
”Maybe,” Angel couldn't tell.
”Then I'll go inside and say some words.” Elizabeth quickly volunteers.
”Okay, okay, we will listen outside!” Ash agreed.
”Now go and speak.” Charlotte signaled.
Leo could only shake his head while listening to the noises they're causing upstairs. What he had said was actually the truth. Just take his manor back at the Underground World of Lion Heart city, for example, the Black organization wasn't even able to know that they have escaped through the windows despite being in front of the door. It wasn't because they have silently opened the window; it was simply because the noises made inside the room once the door is closed becomes pretty isolated.
”Try again one more time!”
”Just to be sure!”
”Exactly!”
”Okay, okay, okay!”
”Ready?”
”.....”
.....
Five minutes later.
”Try again!”
”Okay!”
”...”
”Alright!”
”Go!”
”.....”
.....
Ten minutes later.
”Third time is the charm, but the fourth time is assurance. So, let's try again for the last time!”
