Noticing the tense atmosphere between them, Leon quickly got to his feet and stepped in to separate them.
He knew that if he didn't intervene immediately, they might start fighting right then and there.
As Leon spoke, Liliana and Athena gradually regained their composure, though their hostility lingered as they turned away with cold snorts.
Leon felt a headache coming on but chose to remain silent as he sat back down.
"Ahem! Alright, let's discuss this matter carefully," Leon said, clearing his throat.
He then turned to Athena and asked, "Is it really necessary to exclude Liliana from this discussion?"
Athena nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, Leon. This needs to be discussed privately."
Leon was taken aback by her firm stance and regarded her with a doubtful expression.
"Then, could you at least tell me what the topic is?" he asked.
