章 81: Ten Ancient Poisons and Slightly Desperate

Nighttime

In his room, Leon prepared coffee at the minibar table situated at the far end of the room.

Once finished, he took the coffee and grabbed a cookie, then returned to the reading desk to set down his coffee and snack.

Afterward, he approached the door of his room, ensuring that no one was nearby, and then double-checked the lock a few times.

Satisfied that everything was in order, Leon returned to his reading desk and settled into his chair.

"Huft~ My heart is racing," Leon exclaimed slightly, with a hint of excitement, as he took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on the book resting on his desk.

Tonight, he was determined to complete reading the book on poisons authored by Jared Crimson.

Because Fiona, always attached to him and eager to play, sought his company this afternoon, Leon could only resign himself to postponing his reading and spending the day indulging her requests.
