Chapter 340 - Have you heard of Rhionen Assassins? (1/2)

Aleksis was worried because even though Takeshi and Mischa are professionals and they could supervise her safety subtly, they couldn't escape Laurie's hawk eyes. No one could get away from him because he had hundreds of years of experience.

Everytime he was in a new place, he would always scan his surroundings quickly and accurately. Just by a second glance. he could know that these two people were also around when they were at the airport ...

Aleksis knew she had to do something to clear Lauriel's suspicion.

”Uncle, they are my new bodyguards, so it's only natural for them to follow me ...” Aleksis said in a whisper. ”I'll introduce them to you later.”

Lauriel frowned, then nodded in understanding.

Hmm ... these two men were very good bodyguards, he thought, they could keep Aleksis safe from a distance without attracting any attention.

”Do they also follow you to campus?” Lauriel asked.

”Yes, they helped me a lot yesterday when an arrogant girl tried to attack me ...” Aleksis said. ”Er ... but if I introduce you to them, I can't introduce you as my godfather. They are regular people who do not know the secrets of our people. They would be very suspicious if they come to know that my godfather looks so young and handsome ... hehehe ...”

Lauriel shook his head while ruffling Aleksis' hair for teasing him just now.

”So, you are you going to introduce me as … who?” Lauriel asked.

”I'll introduce you as my father's best friend, that is all. That way I'm not lying, right?”

Aleksis praised herself for her quick thinking and how she managed to find a solution to this problem. Carl and Sascha also did not know the secrets of the Alchemist clan. They work for Caspar without ever seeing their employer. They only met with Aleksis every time they were on duty.

Aleksis could use that same excuse for introducing Takeshi and Mischa.

She was very happy when Lauriel nodded in agreement. She immediately gave a signal to Takeshi and Mischa who were enjoying their lunch, so they both approached her.

Both Takeshi and Mischa looked very surprised to see Aleksis casually calling out to them. With hesitation, the two left their table and walked towards Aleksis and Lauriel.

”Uhm … Did Miss call us?” asked Takeshi with a frown. Mischa seemed to be studying Lauriel closely.

”Yes, I want to introduce you to Lauriel. He found out that you were tailing us, so I had to tell him about you two,” Aleksis said. She purposely emphasized that Lauriel caught Takeshi and Mischa following them, so that the two assassins would feel guilty for not doing their job well and that someone noticed them tailing Aleksis.

Takeshi and Mischa looked at each other. They were both shocked that someone noticed them and became suspicious. They soon realized that Lauriel was no ordinary person.

”Good day, Sir. I am Takeshi, I am assigned to protect Miss Aleksis,” said Takeshi finally, bowing slightly.

”My name is Mischa.” Mischa followed suit.

Lauriel glanced at them for a moment and nodded, ”I'm Lauriel.”

”Lauriel is my relative, he is my father's best friend, so you don't have to follow us anymore. I'm safe as long as I am around him. ”I'll call you tomorrow morning. You guys can now relax, and please finish your lunch. I'll be fine.”

Takeshi nodded. He and Mischa returned to their table and continued their lunch. Occasionally they threw glances at Aleksis and Lauriel who kept chatting in a relaxed manner. Looking at how close Aleksis was to the man, they must indeed be relatives, Takeshi thought.
