Chapter 260: Gossip (Part 1)

Especially Fabio Zelaya, ever since she helping him repair his artifact, he has been held herself in high regard.

Now, Fabio Zelaya, however, wore an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

Even though it was just a glance, she still noticed it.

"Say whatever you want directly," Amalia remained as steady as ever.

Fabio Zelaya hadn’t expected to be caught, so he cleared his throat, and said: "N-nothing, really."

Amalia calmly stated, "I don’t like people who beat around the bush."

Not wanting to be disliked by Amalia, Fabio Zelaya hesitated for a moment.

After organizing his thoughts for a while, he then saying to her with a flushed face, "Amalia, the military camp is full of gossip. The things like what happened last night, you should be more cautious in the future. The light can cast shadows on the tent."

Amalia was confused, but because she was accustomed to facing everything with composure, she calmly replied to him, "Alright, I understand. Thank you for the reminder."

Fabio Zelaya couldn’t help but admired her inner strength; even after he spoke so clearly to her, yet she still keep her calm expression.

He couldn’t help but being impressed by her.

"Amalia, rest assured, we won’t spread word about your relationship. Romantic relationship in the military camp is not uncommon, so we understand it."

After leaving a few comforting words, he then left.

With a stern face, Amalia turned arouneld to find Kenny Lin.

She hadn’t done anything last night, yet today everyone knew about her relationship with Kenny Lin.

Besides Kenny Lin, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

Kenny Lin was inside General Silva’s tent.

Although the soldiers outside recognized Amalia, they still dutifully stopped her.

Unauthorized personnel couldn’t enter the general’s tent.

The sound probably reached the people inside, and Kenny Lin pushed aside the curtain and walked out.

"Why are you here? Do you want to come in?" he asked.

"Are you sure you want me to come in?" Amalia’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The soldiers at the door looked surprised when they saw it; doesn’t she come here to met him?

Kenny Lin hesitated for a moment, "Well, then I’ll go out."

He turned back and said something to General Silva, who waved his hand from inside.

As the two walked a few steps, Amalia suddenly grabbed Kenny Lin’s clothes and dragged him into a corner.

"Shouldn’t you explain to me what happened last night and why today everyone ’knows’ what we ’did’ last night, but I, the person involved, know nothing, hmm?"

"Calm down, I didn’t do anything, they just misunderstood. I’m also confused too." Kenny Lin blinked innocently.

"You definitely did something, don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me," Amalia galred at him.

She did not trust his words even a little bit.

Kenny Lin locked eyes with her for two seconds, "Okay, I admit, I did something, I just kissed your shadow, who knew someone would see it."

Amalia finally understood what Fabio Zelaya meant by the light casting shadows on the tent; Kenny Lin used misplacement to create a scene of them kissing, which giving the outsiders a false impression.

"So, are you so desperate now that you can even kiss the air?" Amalia couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated.

"If you let me kiss you, I wouldn’t be so desperate, but you never let me..."

Kenny Lin’s words were cut off as a cool pair of lips suddenly pressed against his cheek, and swiftly withdrawing again in less than a moment.

Kenny Lin froze for about a second, his gaze darkened like ink, he staring hungrily at Amalia’s lips that had just kissed him.

The emotions inside his heart was so intense to the point where he could barely contain himself.

"You’re crossing the line, sneaking a kiss when I’m not paying attention."

Kenny Lin’s voice was much huskier than usual.

"Tell me honestly, have you been secretly in love with me for a long time?"

Amalia: "... Believe whatever you want."

She had given up on arguing with Kenny Lin.

"I knew it, you’ve long been captivated by my charm, right? It’s just that you couldn’t bring yourself to confess due to pride and saving face?" Kenny Lin’s noble and charming face was somewhat marred by his smugness.

Amalia: "..."

Now she understood what "give an inch and take a mile" meant; this guy was a typical example of someone who brightened up at the slightest bit of attention.

"Admit it, you’ve been fantasizing about me for a long time," Kenny Lin continued to push his luck.

Amalia: "... Shut up, if you keep pushing me lol, I’ll kick you out."

Kenny Lin immediately fell silent, but after a moment, he couldn’t resist saying, "Since we both have feelings for each other, you can’t keep making me sleep outside the tent in the future."

Amalia gave him a strange look.

In fact, she had expected Kenny Lin to take advantage of the situation, and she was even prepared to handle it.

But it seemed this guy, despite his charismatic appearance, was actually more innocent than a virgin.

"As long as you don’t annoy me," Amalia decided not to remind him, whether it was true or not, and left after saying those words.

Amalia’s reputation in the legion had soared, with more and more soldiers seeking her out to repair their artifacts.

On the other hand, Commander Weisman’s side, aside from a few close associates, no one else came to him for repairing their artifact.

His subordinates noticed his worsening mood day by day and didn’t dare to disturb him.

One morning, with no one around, they were feeling uneasy when suddenly Commander Weisman summoned one of them.

"Where’s Pequino? It’s already so late, why hasn’t he shown up yet?"

Commander Weisman, who usually preferred to sleep in, had gotten up early today specifically to meet Pequino Zargas for repairing his artifact.

Pequino Zargas has been made an appointment to repair his artifact this morning, but there was no sign of him now.
