Chapter 145

“L-Leo?”

Hesitantly, she turned to Leo with trembling lips. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, the man standing in front of her fashioned a short buzz cut and had a rather stumpy physique.

His face was rounded, coupled with a pair of crafty eyes. On both sides of his lips was some facial hair, and he looked a little like a successful person.
