Chapter 74: Is This For Your Revenge Too?
First of all, anyone with a strong sense of smell would immediately realize that Olive was slightly reeked of smoke. Yes, the meals being served in the restaurants camouflaged it, but it still didn’t escape him.
His sense of smell was higher than the rest, giving him the advantage of retaining the smell of anyone, even if it was just a few seconds or minutes of the meeting.
Last night, when Olive walked into the restaurant, he was able to tell that Olive was there due to the smell that he had retained. It was possible because they had met before, at the ceremony.
Now, not only did Olive smelt of smoke, but his white shirt was also smeared with ashy dirt, hinting at the fact that he had been in a place where something was burning. He was very sure that even Olive himself did not notice the ash, as even his hair was a bit colored by it.
Last but not least, his shoes were way too dirty for someone who had left his house on a bike and arrived at the restaurant. This concluded that he had been somewhere else before making his way to the restaurant right from there.
"So, Olive works for you? I see, I see." Valentine chuckled.
He needn’t confirm this because, from his conversation with Olive earlier that morning, he could tell that Olive had some sort of connection with Draven. His expression whenever he spoke of Draven was not that of someone who had no idea who was being talked about.
Also, as crazy as it may sound, he did overhear what Olive had muttered then concerning how messed up both he and his older brother had been. He may have acted like he didn’t hear it completely, but this was because he wanted Olive to repeat his words.
To be honest, he did have his suspicions, but he needed a lot more to convince himself and come to a conclusion.
