Chapter 1945

Levin stood by the young woman's side, his eyes filled with respect. When he saw her grim look fade into a smile, he whispered, "Is Master Levi planning to do something?"

A frown creased the girl's forehead as she stared at him. "What are you getting at?"

Quickly, he answered, "I-I just wish to keep up with Master Levi. Matthew's a cripple now, but we still have the Restoration Pills to deal with."

The young woman's face darkened upon hearing that, and she gruffed, "Paddock, silence is golden, especially at times like these. Your desire for an answer will prove to be your end. Are we clear?"

Horror crept onto Levin's face, a stretch of silence swooping down on him. "I-I understand… B-But I still wish to be of some use to Master Levi. I-If he so wishes, I mean, m-my family is more than happy to ask for the pills in his stead."

"Silence!" the girl roared, fury apparent in her voice. "Are you trying to order me around? Trying to order Master Levi around?"

A cold shudder ran down his spine, his legs almost buckling. He begged for mercy. "No! I didn't mean it that way! I would never dare to do so!"

The girl shot him another nasty look. "This is your final warning, Paddock, so take heed. Do not assume anything. Master Levi does whatever he wishes to. Nobody can lord him around. Just stay in your lane and keep your eyes on the mission. Never ever snoop around. The answers to your question can also lead you to your doom. Easily, if I might add."

"Yes, of course. I understand," Levin answered right away.

The young woman shot him a look of scorn. "I shall be reporting this to Master Levi. Remember, stay in your lane. Protect Matthew and do nothing else until Master Levi gives his orders."

He nodded vigorously in response. "Yes, of course."

"And don't tell anyone about our meeting. Except for Master Levi, no one can know about this, not even Phoenix and the crown prince."

"What about Madam Quirk, then?" He froze for a moment.

"What are you? An oaf?" The woman flew into a rage. "Except for Master Levi, you are to tell no one about this meeting."

Levin was a little shocked, but he hung his head low right away. "Yes, I understand."

The woman shot him another look. "What happened here, stays here. Tell anyone, and you'll not live to see the next day."

Satisfied, the girl nodded. Then, she left the Paddock Residence in silence.

Levin saw her off. Once she was gone, he plopped down onto the couch, his back drenched with sweat. He looked in the direction she walked off for a long while before a frown creased his forehead.

"We're hiding this from Madam Quirk as well? This is getting interesting," he murmured to himself as he leaned against the back of his couch. Updated at Draмąոоvels.cоm
