"Leo, why are you panicking like that? This is very unlike you."

Felix commented with a calm look on his face.

On this matter, he resembled Rune a lot.

"I do not know how they did it, but…"

Leo extended his hand toward Felix.

There was no doubt about it.

"Were they hiding their strength…?" Felix questioned with an annoyed look on his face. He didn't like how things went awry from the start.

"That is most likely the case."
