In unison, the two replied, “Yes!”
When they stood up, Leones had already disappeared from their sight.
“This new Dragon King sure is elusive.” Though marveled, Blancnau also suddenly realized that his body was drenched in cold sweat.
“Indeed, the man I’ve chosen is truly exceptional,” Viomwich mumbled timidly. “Unfortunately, he’s intimidating. I find it hard to enjoy his company…”
“Let’s

back to Undrago.” Blancnau sighed. “Alas, we nine have fought for so many years, but in the end, we’re unified under an outsider.”
Not long after Leones returned to the Cloud Nine, Mia knocked on his door upstairs. “The female neighbor from the foot of the mountain has come again, seeking to thank you for your medical
treatment.”
“Hmm?” Leones had just taken out the treasures from the Treasure Mirror when Veronica paid him another visit.
“I won’t see her.”
He found the treasures right in front of him more attractive than women.
Leones had his eyes on the Endless Sword and the Ocean Bead, completely smitten by them.
Once again, Veronica was turned down by Leones.
She and Ariella had no choice but to leave there.
“Verone, you said Kenton had saved you today?” Ariella asked curiously while on the way down. “That’s right.” Veronica gently stroked her wrist, fear lingering within her. “If it weren’t for him, I would have lost this hand.”
Thus, after she finished work, Veronica immediately returned there, hoping to express gratitude to the mysterious Kenton in person. Additionally, she wanted to meet the her adoptive father held in high regard.
Unfortunately, she was refused yet again, missing the chance to meet him.

young expert.
“Kenton is clearly a good person who saved both of us twice,” Ariella remarked in puzzlement. “Why won’t he see us? Could he have social anxiety?”
“Geez, I originally wanted to thank him in person and also ask him to take care of you.” Veronica sighed again.
“Take care of me?” Ariella was confused. “My leg is almost healed. I do not wish to trouble Mr. Bloom.”
“That’s not what I mean.” Veronica suddenly stopped in her tracks and her mood downcast. “I wanted him to act as your temporary guardian.”
It was just like how her adoptive father had protected the owner of the villa.
With an even stronger person residing in that villa, Veronica hoped he would lend a hand to temporarily protect those close to her.
“Protect… me?” Ariella was taken aback, looking at her friend with even more confusion.
Seeing that her best friend was the commanding officer of Sherland Guardians, Ariella didn’t understand why she would need someone else for protection.
“Verone, you’re acting strange today,” Ariella said in confusion. “What happened?”
“Today, I solved a major case, but I also offended a lot of people, and the consequences are dire.

I’m afraid it will involve the people around me,” Veronica confessed. “I plan to go see my adoptive father tomorrow to seek his advice. So, during the time I’m gone, please be careful. If you encounter any troublemakers, run up the mountain immediately and ask Kenton for help.
If he still refuses to see you, then just stay on the mountain and don’t leave. At the very least, he won’t ignore someone in need right at his doorstep.”
“Is it that serious?” Ariella chuckled. “By the way, your adoptive father is Zombric’s Cry. With him around, who would dare harm you?”
Veronica didn’t want Ariella to worry too much, so she said, “You’re right, my adoptive father is Zombric’s Cry! No need to worry too much! I’m just being cautious. Do you remember what I
said?”
“Okay!” Ariella nodded and smiled. “If there’s danger, I’ll go to Kenton. I remember.”
Seeing her friend’s innocence, Veronica couldn’t help but smile.
If she had just started working as an official, she might have been as naive as her friend. However, during her time working at the Commandery Manor, she experienced a lack of control over her own life and went through many things that couldn’t be openly discussed.
It wasn’t after dismantling Lewis Club that Veronica realized belatedly that she had stirred hornet’s nest.
At the same time, the list she held had also become a hot potato.

She was certain that many would lose their sleep that night, and more would be sharpening their knives, wanting her life.
It was likely that she wouldn’t be able to walk away unscathed.
“Kenton…” Veronica turned around, gazing once again at the villa halfway up the mountain, murmuring softly, “After I leave, I hope you can take care of Ariella. I’m counting on you…” Veronica condensed her voice into vital energy, and it drifted into the distance, carried by the mountain breeze.
