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.

While others didn’t know who he was, Elyse knew him very well.

But the more she knew, the more terrified she was. Her ears rumbled, and she was so weak that she lost the strength to stand upright.

Her legs turned wobbly. She wasn’t sure how much Leo had found out. Hence, she could only try to deduce from his facial expression.
