章 186: Capturing Igor

"Eli.. I don't want to put you in danger." Leon shook his head and replied to Eli in a gentle tone. 

He understood what Eli wanted to do. But now that the tracking knight had deeper connections to the enemy, Leon would never dare to be careless and expose that 'Elise' was actually alive. 

"But-" Eli actually wanted to retaliate, but she froze after seeing the determination in Leon's eyes. That one seemingly gentle look was speaking a thousand words. However, her face still showed intense unwillingness over the matter.

Just as she was about to reply to express her unwillingness of the matter, she heard his patient voice saying, "I don't want you to be hurt, so I'm sorry for not giving in to your request." 

Leon knew that Eli had a mind of her own. Most of the time, her words and opinions would be heard and followed clearly. But he knew well that in this situation, he had to be firm in his decision.
