"Master, what exactly happened during my absence?"
Leon didn't respond, but his steps came to an abrupt halt, and his handsome face turned slightly pale.
Miranda's words sank in, sending a chilling shock through him.
"Damn it! What's going on?" Leon inquired inwardly, his nerves tightening.
From Miranda's earlier explanation, he quickly realized that something had gone wrong without his awareness.
The reason he couldn't reach her when he was on the cliff wasn't because Miranda had deliberately ignored him, but due to some unknown force.
That force prevented Miranda from contacting him, and he couldn't reach her either.
He had no understanding of what that "force" was, only recognizing its oddity after hearing Miranda's earlier explanation.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Leon closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anxiety creeping through him.
