Acting For Real

Leo felt his heart beat out of his chest as he began making his way out of Lin Mu's room towards his own.

Thankfully, the Royal Maid was too stunned by the murder of the Royal Counselor to shout for a while, as Leo got to enjoy a good 10 seconds headstart, before the screams finally materialized, alerting security nearby.

Also luckily for him, on his way to Lin Mu's room, the Royal Counselor had reduced the hall security near Lin Mu's corridor as he did not wish to be seen moving to a lady's room by many, so late into the night.

This helped Leo cover a distance of 100 meters away from Lin Mu's room rather easily, as he managed to reach a bigger corridor with a fountain of a lady spitting water from her mouth, before encountering his first set of guards.

Having heard their approaching footsteps, Leo took cover immediately, as he watched them rush into the corridor he had just come from with hurried steps.
