Upon returning to his manor, Leo immediately began tearing through every corner of the space, determined to confirm beyond any doubt that the meditation manual was nowhere to be found, as he did not want to humiliate himself later if the manual did end up being within his own house.
Drawers were pulled open, shelves were swept clean, and cushions were flung across the room in a frenzy. Every corner, no matter how unlikely, was thoroughly searched, but his efforts yielded nothing.
The manual was not within his manor, and now he felt certain about that fact without a shadow of a doubt.
Hence, if one were to secretly plant the manual in his house later. He would not fall for it, and know full well that someone sabotaged him on purpose.
Leo's frustration about the whole situation grew with every passing moment.
