398 Visiting Fragrant Tea Abode (1/2)
”Alright, that is enough. Continue to monitor him and use the voice transmission tool to contact me when you have something new to report.” Chief Valencia said.
”Yes, chief.”
Darlene answered emotionless like she was a puppet. She had recounted to Chief Valencia about how much she had done it with Leonhardt when they were together.
Whether it was in the palace or here in the Barrenrock Courtyard, their time together was filled with nothing but lascivious actions and carnal pleasure.
Chief Valencia had listened to so much of Darlene's detail pleasurable experience recount that she became sick and tired of hearing more. She wanted to end the report there and return to the palace at once.
Outside of Barrenrock Courtyard, Leon was seen leaning against the back wall with his eyes closed. After leaving the courtyard, he did not go far before circling back to the backside to eavesdrop against the wall.
'I cannot let my guard down anywhere, can I?'
Leon thought amusedly with a smile before opening his eyes and left the area to look for Master Woodrow. He had heard enough.
Chief Valencia was truly not simple. Leon could fathom the depth of her intelligence network within the Darkmoon Tribe. Nevertheless, he was right to assume that everyone in the tribe could be her ears and eyes.
If he had not returned to the courtyard, he would not have been able to confirm that Darlene was a spy that Chief Valencia had planted by his side. Nevertheless, he had been suspicious since that night he passed out from drinking.
Even so, that lass was not bad. That girl did not tell the chief everything. Although he felt weird having his intimate moments with Darlene exposed to the chief, at least that lass did not mention her training and power over space.
All that effort into doting on her was not in vain.
He will continue to influence her and make her someone entirely on his side while pretending that he does not know anything. Only by keeping his cards hidden would he have more cards to play.
Shortly after strolling around the streets of Darkmoon City and asking people for directions, Leon finally arrived in front of Fragrant Tea Abode sometime later, the place Master Woodrow once mentioned previously.
The Fragrant Tea Abode contained three floors and was divided into two parts. The front was a tea store, while the back was his private residential home.
”Welcome to Fragrant Tea Abode, Young Master Leonhardt. How may I help you today? Are you here for tea, or are you here to look for Master Woodrow?” The female waiter greeted Leon at the entrance.
Leon studied the pretty female waiter who appeared to be another person with Void Body, feeling inwardly alerted.
”Young Master Leonhardt sure knows how to joke. Everyone in the Darkmoon Tribe knows who Young Master Leonhardt is after your benevolent act of treating the wounded warriors after the battle ended.” Responded the pretty female waiter and gave Leon an alluring smile like she was trying to seduce him.
Leon shook his head ruefully, thinking he might be overthinking. The pretty female waiter did have a point. His appearance was quite unique and easily recognized unless he decides to have a change of clothes.
She might not be another person under the chief, but it was too early to rule out that possibility.
”I'm here to see Master Woodrow. Is he available?” Leon asked.
”Understood, Young Master Leonhardt. I will go and inform Master Woodrow of your visit. Would you like to take a seat inside and try some of our fine tea while you wait?” The pretty waiter suggested.
”Sure.” Leon nodded.
”Right this way then, Young Master Leonhardt.” The pretty female waiter gestured with her hand for him to follow her.
After Leon followed the female waiter inside the tea store and took his seat on the third floor by the balcony where there were fewer people and better scenery, the female waiter left promptly to find Master Woodrow.
Leon glanced at the regular teapot on the table curiously before pouring himself a cup and have a taste of the standard tea.
The taste was ordinary and had no peculiarities about it, but that was a peculiarity in and of itself. The land was too barren to grow tea leaves.
Wherever the tea leaves were procured, it was not within the Infertile Plains, not unless a unique biome was set up to grow them. But that would also require the procuration of the tea tree in the first place.
While Leon was guessing the origin of the tea, Master Woodrow shortly made his way over in a jovial manner, ”Hahaha, Little Brother Leonhardt has finally decided to visit me. I am honored. How can I let you drink our Fragrant Tea Abode's standard tea? Nora, go prepare the premium tea for our special guest.”
”Yes, master.”
Nora curtsied.
She gave Leon a suggestive wink before swaggering off with her shaking hips to carry out Master Woodrow's order and prepare the premium tea.
Apparently, the name of the pretty waiter was Nora.
Leon smiled wryly and said, ”Brother Woodrow should really try to control your servants. This Nora girl has been giving me suggestive hints. If I am not getting the wrong message, I would think that she wants me to f*ck her.”
