The two figures were none other than Leo and Hathaway, returning hand in hand.
Hathaway looked at the shadowy figure, who seemed to be sneaking around, with a slight furrow in her brow.
Upon seeing them, especially their clasped hands, the shadow shuddered and quickly forced a forced smile.
"Ahaha… Miss Hathaway, and this gentleman… what a coincidence!"
"I—I'm fine, just... out for a walk, enjoying the grandeur of this magnificent city."
Leo, meanwhile, was studying the shadow with great interest.
He could clearly sense the unique aura of Koro emanating from him.
But he didn't point it out, instead smiling and staying silent.
Seeing the intimate way Leo and Hathaway were holding hands, the shadow cleared his throat and quickly came up with an excuse.
"Oh! I just remembered! I left some soup simmering back at home!"
"You two, take care! We'll meet again soon!"
Without waiting for a response from Leo or Hathaway, the shadow vanished without a trace.
