Chapter 124: The Greatest News
Leon lowered his head to the girl’s ear and whispered, "You did a great job, Allynna. You are the most talented person I have ever met. I’m really proud of you...." He sincerely praised her.
But, the moment he did that, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him intently. It was so sharp like a laser was trying to pierce his skin. He knew those eyes must belong to Grandpa Moon, Allynna’s biological Grandfather. He quickly let go of Allynna’s arms.
At the same time, Allynna let go of her embrace. She felt behind Leon there was Grandpa Leovaris with another person she had never seen before, standing beside Leovaris.
Allynna looked at the strange-looking Old Man intently. His hair was white, but his face did not age. There were no wrinkles on his face, but from the look in his eyes, she could sense that the man was the same age as Grandpa Leovaris. They had lived for thousands of years but had the same face and body as a person in their early fifties.
She could see the old man was looking at her sharply with a look that made her feel a little uneasy. The old man seemed to dig into her mind. Allynna tries to guard her mind with the strength she has right now.
Tightly she gripped Leon’s hand who was standing in front of her. He blocked her view from meeting the old man’s sharp gazes.
"L-Leon, I feel that old man is trying to read my mind...." Allynna speaks in her mind and allows Leon to hear her. Feeling stunned when he hears that, Leon immediately turns back to look at Grandpa Moon.
He was surprised to see Grandpa Moon was now staring intentionally at them. He could only bitterly smile when he heard Grandpa Moon’s mind. At that moment, Leon was sure it was impossible to hide it anymore. He should tell Grandpa Moon the truth.
Leon looked back at the little girl who was still hiding behind his body.
