Villain Ch 48. Disguise
Zoe's heart raced with panic as Allen's question hung in the air. She immediately lifted her head, locking her gaze with his in an attempt to mask her discomfort. "Of course not," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm just a little tired. My mom and I have been leveling since morning."
She watched as a look of understanding crossed Allen's features. "Ah, I see," he said with a nod. "How many levels did you guys manage to get?"
Zoe took a deep breath, gathering her composure. "Not much," she replied, trying to sound confident. "We only managed to reach level 21."
She could see the surprise in Allen's eyes, and a part of her was relieved that she had managed to impress him. "That's the same as my level," he said, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Good then. This quest should be easy for us."
