Bab 190: Secret Base

Leon couldn't help but stretch his tense lips into a subtle smile.

As soon as he heard Eli's voice, the mess in his heart started to settle down and his mind became clear. 

"Uhn, I'm fine. We are able to do the operations successfully. But there's just something unexpected that happened along the way. But we are alright." Leon replied with an assuring tone. 

"That's good to hear!" He could hear the relief in Eli's tone. "Are you going home then?" He then heard her say with a gentle tone. 

Leon felt his heart get pinched upon hearing Eli's question. However, he had to ensure that the captives were secured first before going home. As much as he wanted to say that he would go home, he had to do otherwise.

"I still have to settle the aftermath. Eli everything's fine now, please calm your mind and take some rest." He answered in a coaxing tone.
