Chapter 139 (2/2)

Penelope.

She was an undercover investigator for Kyle. Muell, who had spurted black flames in both of his hands in alarm, managed to extinguish the flames.

Penelope gripped Noah’s arm and dragged her up to the old stairs in the corner of the hallway. Nervousness was apparent in the woman’s face and every step she took was laced with caution; it was as if someone was watching them.

In addition, Muell, who was carried in Noah’s arms, also stiffened. Noah couldn’t face Penelope properly until they arrived inside the lab on the second floor, where she and Kyle had been the previous day.

Before she could even ask the reason for her actions, an urgent question fell from Noah’s lips. “Sir Leonard… Is he on his way?”

“He left last night.”

“Last night? Why did he leave so early…” Oh, lord. I can’t catch someone who has already left.

Then, Noah bombarded Penelope with a series of questions like a waterfall.

“How long will it take to get back from Noviscosha? No, how long does it take to get down to Noviscosha? I’d like you to make a call to the Noviscosha Substation. As soon as possible!”

“The captain…”

The room of the lab was dark, casting a shadow on Penelope’s face. Noah suddenly felt an ominous premonition as she saw Penelope avoiding her gaze.

“He’s gone to Central Edman, Lady Asil.”

“Edman…? But yesterday he said he was definitely going to Noviscosha.”

“That’s…”

“Why Edman all of a sudden?” Noah asked in bewilderment. Not long after, she grasped the situation at once after hearing Penelope’s explanation.

“That’s crazy. So he was demoted and was sent to Edman because of a scandal with me?”

“Similarly, I have an order from the Minister not to return to the capital for a while.”

“Wow, I’m really going crazy.”
