And when he was all dressed up, he made his way to the dining table where Leo had requested him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon was sitting down opposite Leo at the dining table. And only tea and some pancakes were served to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien casually stood at the side of Leo, watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent for a while as Leo enjoyed his tea. Eden did too before he spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seemed to have enjoyed your sleep,\" Eden said with a soft smile, staring at him. \"I suppose I did something right for once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo said nothing. He still had his eyes on the teacup for a while, and then he added, \"I wonder what magic trick you used this time around...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily,\" Eden smiled. \"It was just some tricks I learnt along the way. It’s not necessarily sorcery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so...\" Leo nodded, his eyes on the tea before him. He gently stirred it with his spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should stop your drugs and seek a healthier means of getting better. That would do you a better deal,\" Eden casually said while taking a bite off the pancake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo hesitated. \"I don’t think I need your medical advice on anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him as he muttered to himself, \"How ungrateful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stood there without saying anything. He stared at Leo, who was saying the opposite of what he wanted him to say, and then stared at Eden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides... we have bigger issues to tackle. Your time is already up. So don’t waste further time and tell me what I really want to hear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo sipped from his cup and then looked up at Eden. \"Tell me results from the mission I handed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him with a deep sigh. \"How ungrateful. I helped you last night. Don’t you think you should be rewarding me now for it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo’s eyes were cold. \"I don’t have time for that. We can grant you some money if that’s what you want. But you’ll have to provide the information needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden blinked with a deep sigh. He almost rolled his eyes at the thought of getting a cold because of some jerk like this. \"You... What do you want from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s simple. Hand me the information and everything will be easier,\" Leo said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had his eyes on Leo. They were quiet for a while as though they were studying each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then Eden said, \"Then I guess I’m afraid to tell you that I don’t have any information for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Leo was almost shocked at his words, as though those were the last words he was expecting to hear from him. \"What do you mean by that...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just as it is,\" Eden shrugged, eating his pancakes. \"There is no information to bring to you. I didn’t find anything. So basically I just lied that I did so I’ll enjoy some accommodations, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said this while enjoying his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had his reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering what Leo was going through, his trauma which led to his current state, Eden had also concluded that it was a terrible idea to tell him about anything of the sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn’t want to tell him anyways, that was more reason for him not to even bother doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think he was ready to find out what really went down. Eden felt he should first heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent. Very silent. Leo and Damien had their eyes on Eden, who was enjoying the meal before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stared at Leo, whom he was sure was already boiling up. He could feel his pain — the impact of the news that had befallen him at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already expecting his wrath to start falling upon Eden at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leo casually said, \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien blinked. Shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden smiled at him. \"Yes. That’s so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So. You didn’t find anything at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden shook his head. \"Nothing at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not even a name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden shook his head aggressively. \"Not even a game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo kept his cool. \"And you didn’t tell me this on time so you would stay over...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden nodded. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why though?\" Leo was still trying to keep his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing much. I guess I just wanted to spend some time with you,\" Eden smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo hesitated for a while, staring at Eden as though trying to figure out how his brain worked. And then with a deep sigh, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... you really don’t have anything...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden shook his head. \"Nothing at all. But at least I have something that you can benefit from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo stared at him. He didn’t ask what it was, but Eden said it anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least I have a means of helping you get over your insomnia. So if you keep me around closely, I can be of good help to you,\" he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden figured it’d be a great deal if he agreed to it. Especially for the fact that it would at least keep him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t seem Leo was okay with the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I said, I don’t need any medication from you. So you don’t need to worry about that,\" Leo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him for a while. \"Oh. Is that so? Then I guess I don’t have any need for that. I might as well be on my way home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush though,\" Leo stopped him, his lips sipping from the teacup before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden watched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because even though I won’t need your medical advice, I’m quite curious about something,\" he looked at Eden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden’s eyes were on him too. \"And what’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tool you made...\" Leo hesitated. \"I have to say I’m most intrigued by your craftsmanship of transformation. To make such a tool like that... is rather interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden now stared at Leo, shocked. He couldn’t help but wonder if this ungrateful jerk was praising him for something now or?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-06T12:26:44.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","835ccebc3adaaa91481539b095264f780d3b68b865cb1b6eba4ed5239d78fe0e","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-66","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-65",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-cover.jpg"]
