I Thought You Were in Love with Each Other

Hearing Chrollo's words, Luo Ye was completely baffled.

Something about this was seriously off.

Having watched the anime, he considered himself quite familiar with the Leader's personality. By all rights, shouldn't Chrollo have concealed Pakunoda's ability, stolen their information, and then figured out a way to steal their abilities?

Why was this different from what he had expected? Or did the Leader genuinely want to find an ally this time?

After several thoughts flashed through Luo Ye's mind, he decided to get away from this suffocating atmosphere first. Otherwise, his blood pressure was about to shoot up to one hundred eighty! He forced a smile as he flattered Chrollo and headed outside.

"That really is quite a special ability. Fortunately, she has a good constitution, or I wouldn't have been able to wake her so quickly. Still, she was unconscious for several days, so she should eat something nourishing. You must have already taken care of those ingredients, right?"

Who knew what Pakunoda was thinking? Shouldn't she say something when she saw her companions? Yet when she first saw Chrollo, she simply lowered her head in silence?

Had she done something wrong and not dared to face anyone? If she had been willing to speak, the atmosphere here would not have been so strange.

Now he had no choice but to desperately smooth things over himself. Just coming up with excuses was giving him a headache.

"Alright, it should be ready soon. Let's go over, or it'll all get cold." Seeing how desperately Luo Ye wanted to leave, Chrollo tactfully spoke up.

"Then let's go. Don't keep them waiting!" Luo Ye hurriedly tugged Chrollo outside, not forgetting to call back, "You guys follow on your own!"

This was not a place to linger. Getting out first was the wiser choice!
