Chapter 130: There Was Her Perfume on You
Arend Island, Leon made his way from the pier into the mountains, passing through the stronghold built in front of the Labyrinth.
Although it was deep into the night, his subordinates were still standing guard along the mountain path and around the Labyrinth. Even deeper inside the Labyrinth, there were people watching over the Magical Beasts they were raising. As he walked through the stronghold converted from a mine, every subordinate he encountered greeted him with utmost respect.
Leon crossed the mine-refitted stronghold. At the end of the road stood a single-story house converted from an old warehouse. This residence was now the home where he and Rena usually lived.
By the door, several wooden crates covered with black cloth were piled up. Leon knew they were merely disguises made from wooden boards. Inside was actually a beast cage. The Pack Alpha of the Demonic Wolf pack they raised was hidden within, acting as a guard. If it detected the scent of a stranger approaching, the Demonic Wolf would immediately enter a state of alert.
If Rena encountered any situation, she only needed to give a whistled signal, and the Demonic Wolf would break through the wooden boards used for disguise and rush toward the sound.
As Leon approached the door, there was no movement from the crates. The Demonic Wolves raised here all remembered Leon’s scent and would not show hostility toward him.
Leon took out his key and opened the door, discovering that the hall was still lit. Rena had not gone to sleep and was sitting at the table reading a volume of Church Doctrines.
Hearing the door open, Rena immediately looked up and stood. The moment she saw Leon, her eyes lit up—but then she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
“What’s with that expression?” Leon could not help but laugh.
