Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2468



Leon Batton stood up and looked at Lte Batton when school ended for the day. "I have to train at the base later. You'll have to find your own way home today," he told her.

She nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll go home by myself tonight."

Then, they bid farewell in front of the school entrance before Leon drove to Team XS's base. His eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar figure by the road as he drove, prompting him to find a spot to pull over before getting out of his car.

Hannah Roland walked ahead of him holding a bag of cat food and a few slices of ham, muttering to herself. "I've bought so much food today. It should be enough for the kitten, right?"

Her pace quickened while Leon observed her curiously. He decided to follow her discreetly from a safe distance to avoid alerting her to his presence.

Eventually, he followed her into a dilapidated alley. He detected a scent of dampness as soon as he entered. There were puddles of muddy water on the ground.

Leon frowned at that, but Hannah seemed fine with the environment, so he decided to bear it.

Fortunately, the conditions improved after making a turn further down the alley.

He noticed her bent over not far away.

"Poki, Tanya, Cola, where are you?"

He suddenly became excited when he heard Hannah calling out those strange nicknames. He leaned back against the wall to continue observing her. Over a dozen stray cats appeared soon after she called out those names, much to Leon's surprise.

He remembered hearing that Hannah didn't have much money and even had to work to pay for her tuition. Yet, despite her circumstances, she was willing to buy expensive cat food to feed some stray cats.

He was taken aback by that.

The kittens seemed to recognize Hannah right away, as one of them came up to her and began brushing its body against her leg.

"All right, I know you're affectionate,

Poki," she said softly before

retrieving a small steel bowl and

pouring all the cat food and slices of

ham into it. Content belongs toBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"I brought a little extra food for you guys. Make sure you eat so you can grow," she added.

The kittens gathered around the bowl and finished everything within a short time, stretching lazily once they were done.

Hannah petted each of them gently, making them roll around on the ground as they seemed to enjoy the attention.

Leon watched her have fun with the kittens until his phone vibrated in his pocket again.

He glanced at his phone and looked at Hannah again before walking out of the alley.

Soon after he left, Hannah sighed and began to pour her heart out to the kittens.

"I don't have any friends, so you're the only ones I can tell all my secrets to. I'm so happy and excited that Leon ate the toasts I gave him today.

"He doesn't know they were from

me, but I'm still excited about it because the person I like enjoyed the food that I prepared. It puts me in a great mood, you know? Content

"Does that make me a loser to be excited about such an insignificant matter?" she chuckled as she rambled on.

"Honestly, think so, too. I'm such a

loser, but this is how it feels to like someone. Forget about eating the toasts made for him. I would be excited even if we just walked past each other."
