Chapter 178 – LLE
"Oh, he's also helping clean the vases."
"He's cleaning the vases?!" Logan looked shocked, "Did he find sothing there?!"
I was surprised by Logan's sudden reaction when I said that Noah helped clean the vases. As if he had been hiding sothing.
"Yeah, he did," I replied. "What's wrong? You sound a bit too surprised."
"Ah… uh… did he find sothing while cleaning?" Logan asked.
"Nope, all he did was just clean vases anyway. What's wrong about that?" I raised my brows. "Or is there sothing that you're trying to hide?" I asked.
"What? Of course not!"
"Co on, just spill it out. You're talking with anyway, not so random person," my curiosity got , and I tried to pressure Logan to spill the beans, much to his disdain.
"I'm not hiding anything from you!"
"Oof, calm down, big guy. I hear you here," I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Since Logan didn't want to spill the beans, I could do nothing against it. Maybe it was sothing from his hidden mission that I couldn't touch.
But the blush on his face seriously got thinking whether it was sothing else.
"Anyway, I want to ask you sothing," I said.
"W—Well, just ask. I'll answer as long as it's not about my mission."
"Hmm… it's about the code that you carve."
"A code?" Logan frowned. "I never rember making any code. At least I'm not stupid enough to leave a code for my mission in so places you could easily find."
"Then how co Noah found a code that you carve inside the vase," I rolled my eyes. "Noah found a lot of vases with 'LLE' code inside. Mind telling what does LLE stand for?"
Logan looked absolutely astonished when he heard the word LLE, much to my confusion. Did I hit the right spot that it was actually a secret code that Noah accidentally found inside the vases?
"Well, Noah keeps insisting that LLE stands for Logan Loves Emmy. Which I found to be totally ridiculous. Can you imagine that you're actually so in love with that you start carving that kind of initial inside your handmade vases?"
…
"Y—Yeah! What an idiot he is!" Logan suddenly retorted after a brief silence. "Why would I fall in love with you? That's totally ridiculous! I'd rather date a snake than you!" Logan said out proud.
Okay, the last sentence was a bit unnecessary, but I got it.
However, I was a bit weirded out by his extre reaction and his face that turned even redder than before. It got worried that he might be catching flu or sothing else."
"Well then, why did you carve that LLE? What kind of code is that? Is it about your secret mission again?"
"Y—Yeah, it's about my secret mission. You don't need to know about it. It's ultra-secret," Logan warned . "You shouldn't think about it too much, or it might harm you in the future!"
"Whoa, whoa, that sounds serious… well, if you say so. I don't really have any interest in prying about your problem anyway," I shrugged it out. "Oh, you should probably wash your face with warm water now. Your face is too red. I'm afraid you might catch fever or sothing."
Logan imdiately darted his gaze towards the mirror hanging on the wall and cursed, "Oh fuck!"
He rushed out imdiately, and I could hear the bathroom door outside was slamd.
I seriously didn't understand his overreaction. But oh well.
**
Logan returned after a while. His face was damp, probably because he washed his face plenty of tis.
"What? Don't stare at like that!"
"Geez, so hostile, I'm just worried about you!" I yelled back.
"S—Sorry, I'm just… it's just…." Logan was lost in words and lowered his head in the end, looking defeated. I didn't really know what was inside his head, so I assud that he was just shocked that Noah discovered his secret so quickly.
"Alright, it's fine. You don't need to tell about that LLE thing. If it's too important for you," I said. I might be mischievous, but I wasn't a coercer who would push soone to do sothing without their consent, especially when that person was soone important to .
"Anyway, I want to ask whether you will stay in school after a while. You've missed school for so long, ya know," I said. "I need your help."
"A help? Is it about one of your targets or sothing?" Logan asked. Which I nodded to confirm.
"Elise and I have found out that Natasha and Barbara from the sophomore class have been directing those three stooges that were put to jail to attack and sexually assault Elise. I have sothing against Barbara Cornwell, an old wound, just say that. And Elise's original hostility is directed towards Natasha."
"So it's 2 vs 2 here," I explained, hoping that I could get his support.
"Wait a minute, an old wound? You have sothing against Barbara Cornwell before?" Logan's gaze darkened as I said old wound. "What did she do? I will make sure that she will pay for it—"
"Hey, hey, calm down, big guy. I don't want to talk about it, but it's sothing terrible," I tried to calm him down. Honestly, I didn't want to tell him about my problem with Barbara 'Barbie' Cornwell because it happened in my last life, not this one.
Barbie Cornwell was the one who sent Thomas and his gang to attack , just like how Natasha ordered them to attack Elise.
The reason for her attack on ? Because I was an eyesore.
Yes, that was literally it.
I happened to accidentally appear in one of her selfies with her gang, sitting under a tree while eating my lunch alone. When she found ruining the group selfie because of my ugly appearance, she suddenly bullied and sent Thomas and his gang to continuously beat . Because she found an eyesore in one of her selfies, she decided to beat .
She was a monster. Honestly, many teenagers were monsters, but few would actually take it physically, or even worse, manipulate or gaslight you, making you feel like shit for their own short entertainnt.
"I will always help you, Emmy. Just say what you need, and I will execute it quickly," Logan replied. "But…"
He suddenly looked hesitant and sighed, "I still have sothing to do. I can't join you in this one. At least not as much as what I did with Leah Carpenter before. My mission is still ongoing, and I can't leave it."
"It's fine…." I replied. I could take down those three stooges without his help—well, a small help with his suggestion, but the rest was done by , Elise, Noah, and that red rose man.
Oh, Mason as well, though I sort of tricked him rather than asking him to help directly.
"I just need so of your help later on because you're the one with the experience here," I said. "I know sothing about Barbara Cornwell that most people don't know. Originally, I want you to help in Leah Carpenter's sort of manner. You know, using your handso charm to bait her. But I know you won't like it, so I will not force you."
"You want to be the scout, you an? Searching for information left and right about her?" Logan asked.
"Indeed, I'll give you the order once I get a new lead. For now, you should focus more on yourself and your mission," I glanced at his bandaged hand. Turned out, he had taken off the one on the left hand in the bathroom while keeping the bandaged right hand, proving that his left hand was completely fine.
I rolled my eyes, "You should at least tell what happened with you. How co you arrived here with a bloodied fist? Did soone hunt you or sothing?"
"… sort of," Logan replied. He looked hesitant when telling this. "Soone is targeting , but I don't know who is. That person keeps on sending thugs to beat . At first, he sent a group of lowly thugs to beat up, but I could beat them easily."
My mind instantly replied to that scene where I accidentally found Logan beating the hell out of thugs inside a small alleyway. Maybe those guys were the thugs he could easily beat.
"But he starts sending more dangerous people. I just fought 3 skilled n. I bet they are private soldiers, sort of rcenary kind of soldier. Because they have so of the martial arts movent, it is quite common for soldiers and police to have."
"It was a difficult fight because I had to fight them all at the sa ti. I ca out victorious and beat the hell out of their life to extract information about this man who sent them.. But they said the man who sent them is a lot scarier than , no matter what would I do to them, they preferred that rather than facing their big boss after leaking his identity."
