Chapter 708: Chapter 643: Dood
"Le...Leon-senpai..."
After being nudged out of the window by the big golden retriever, Laila, who had once again interrupted at a crucial mont with her head lowered, murmured softly:
"I... actually, I didn’t see anything..."
"..."
"Or... maybe I saw a little bit..."
Facing Leon’s speechless expression, Miss Zhuangpo seed to realize her "lie" was getting a bit too far-fetched and quickly continued to add:
"But my lips are sealed; I definitely won’t spread what you were... doing!"
"..."
Although, according to what I know about you, the things you’ve interrupted seem to have been spread? Besides, what’s up with saying we stole sothing? What did we steal?
"Miss Laila!"
Unlike Leon, whose voice was stuck with thousands of soldiers and horses, Princess Veronica, as a sowhat seasoned politician, had already initially suppressed her embarrassnt and regained so rationality.
Upon catching the unspoken aning in Miss Zhuangpo’s words, the princess, who had now learned her na, couldn’t help but frown slightly, reminding her with a sowhat unfriendly tone:
"Don’t you read the newspaper usually? Leon and I are an engaged couple, not what you think, so please be a bit more careful with your words!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing the slightly displeased response from the princess, Miss Zhuangpo seed startled, then first looked at Leon in surprise, and then apologized timidly:
"I...I don’t have much money, so I rarely buy newspapers, sorry, I...I said the wrong thing again..."
No, you didn’t say the wrong thing, in a way, you actually said it very well!
Noticing the direction of her gaze, Princess Veronica’s brow arched slightly, she then squinted at Leon.
This Miss Laila, who ca looking for Leon in the middle of the night, is the kind of person whose thoughts are particularly easy to guess. Her first reaction upon hearing about my engagent with Leon was to look at him in surprise.
Considering she walked in on our... secret rendezvous, her instinctive judgnt was that it was an "affair," does that imply that deep in her subconscious, Leon actually "belongs" to another woman?
...
"Laila."
Unaware of Princess Veronica’s speculation in her mind, seeing the anxious face of Miss Zhuangpo, Leon couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, then proactively asked:
"It’s already so late, why did you bring... uh..."
"Woof woof!"
"Oh, Miss Lisa."
With the young retriever’s bark as a reminder, recalling the na of the golden retriever, Leon nodded to the golden retriever, who was curiously examining the princess, then reopened his mouth to ask:
"Laila, why did you suddenly co over with Miss Lisa? Is there sothing going on at the office that needs
to return imdiately?"
"Ah! Yes!"
Upon hearing Leon’s inquiry, Miss Zhuangpo finally realized, quickly said:
"Leon-senpai, Director Olivia asked
to find you, hoping you could go back as soon as possible, the three deputy directors sent by the office to replace her have arrived."
Three deputy directors from the Non-Zodiac Branch? Only three?
Upon hearing Miss Zhuangpo’s relayed ssage, Leon’s expression instantly turned serious, realizing that sothing was likely brewing again.
No, because since the three deputy directors responsible for guarding the Kingdom are already here, then as the strongest fighter of the Virgo Branch, the director should still follow the original plan to head to the headquarters to guard against the attack by Aquarius Director.
But according to the news Laila "crashed" upon, the target of the Aquarius Director’s attack is actually the Virgo Branch, and the director has notified the boards about this, yet the boards not only didn’t have the director stay, they didn’t even send extra manpower, still only dispatching three deputy directors over.
Then this matter is certainly worth discussing.
After all, even if the boards don’t believe the intelligence Laila got, or assu it might be a smoke screen released by Aquarius, deciding not to act on it, taking extra precautions still wouldn’t hurt.
Even if urgently needing their director’s combat support, requiring her to be transferred to headquarters for "mutual defense," at least they could send more deputy directors for support, there’s no way the office couldn’t spare that manpower.
But the boards did not send extra personnel, still maintaining the original arrangent, only dispatching three deputy directors for support, then this probably could only be explained by one reason...
The headquarters likely wants to "bait"!
Based on the existing intelligence and speculation, judging that the boards might be trying to set a trap, Leon imdiately "switched" to work mode, with eyes shining brightly, he nodded:
"Alright, I’ll head back right away!"
After speaking, he instinctively took a step forward, wanting to return to the office imdiately through the Mirror World, but seed to rember sothing, turning back to look at the princess.
"Veronica, can you help
with..."
"Go with peace of mind."
Glancing at Leon’s eyes that suddenly "sparkled" and his entire body suddenly taut, Princess Veronica was silent for a mont, then with a calm expression, she gently assured:
"If you haven’t returned by tomorrow, I will explain to Anna’s side, also, although I don’t know what you’re going to face, but if just in case... I an just in case, if you really can’t co back, then they are my brother and sister."
Wow... this is already setting up flags ahead...
After a glance at her soft and firm eyes, even without touching the Black Goat’s horn, Leon instinctively understood, Veronica must be telling the truth, thus he couldn’t help but nod slightly in gratitude.
Although these words sound sowhat ominous, in facing the Aquarius Director with strange ans, he indeed has no confidence in being able to co out unhard, this sowhat ominous promise is exactly what he needs most right now.
"Thank you..."
"No need for thanks."
Princess Veronica blinked:
"If nothing goes wrong, rember to co back and marry , also, regardless of whether you co back or not, I will hold the wedding as scheduled on the third of next month."
"..."
Fight this battle and go back ho to get married, huh? Geez... this sounds even more ominous now...
Faced with a flag that’s wielded with such ferocity and pointed directly at him by the princess, Leon’s mouth twitched slightly, then spoke with difficulty:
"About this matter..."
"Regarding a woman willing to stay a widow her whole life for you, and promises to take care of your brother and sister for a lifeti regardless of whether you co back, do you have anything else to say?"
"..."
"Hmm?"
"..."
