Entrance to the Giant Curtain Forest——

In a stunned gaze, "Leo?" Bigg looked at Leo as he walked in, his face showing obvious surprise. He turned to Locke, his eyes filled with confusion and confusion. Turning to Locke, apparently looking for an explanation. The others reacted in much the same way, apparently confused by the sudden arrival of the person "Leo".

Locke smiled and explained, "Yes, he is my right-hand man. He looked at Bigg with a hint of reassurance in his eyes, as if to reassure his doubts. He explained with a smile, his eyes revealing trust in Leo.

Ariel frowned and looked at Leo, obviously having some impression of the name, but not a good one. "How did you come to him for help?" she asked, a little puzzled.

Apparently there are doubts about this not-so-good reputation Leo. "I've always felt that this guy is not very reliable, and he has a bad reputation. She was outspoken about her concerns.

Locke didn't answer directly, but turned to Leo. Locke smiled lightly, and instead of answering directly, he turned to Leo and said, "Leo, tell us about yourself." "

Leo walked out with a smile and gave everyone an elegant aristocratic salute. "Hello everyone, I'm Saad Leo, and it's a pleasure to meet you. His tone was confident and calm, and his smile was tinged with a hint of cunning and wit.

Brooke's eyes widened when he heard the name "Sade". "You say you're Leo from House Sad?" he asked, surprised, apparently with an unusual reaction to the name.

Leo looked at Brooke, smiled and nodded. "Yes, I am Leo of House Sadh. There was a hint of playfulness in his tone, and it was clear that he had anticipated the reaction to this first meeting

Ariel and Bigg looked at each other, clearly puzzled by Brooke's reaction. They glanced at each other, both with confused expressions on their faces, they didn't understand what the name meant?

Locke looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and decided to unravel the mystery for them. "Haha, let me answer it for you. There was a hint of a smile in his tone, "My full name is Saad Locke, and Leo is my distant cousin, so you can trust him!" Brooke nodded knowingly as he said his name, and the faces of the others showed a look of realization.

He explained, "Our family doesn't have a good reputation outside the home, so we've kept a low profile all the time. "

"I see. Bigg nodded, and the doubts in his heart were answered.

"Ah, what, I didn't

know the boss was from the Sade family!" Ariel said in surprise as he covered his mouth, "I thought you were an ordinary person like us, but I didn't expect you to have such a big background." But I was even happier in my heart. She has always been curious about Locke's identity and never asked, but she didn't expect him to come from such a famous family. She was secretly happy in her heart and felt that the relationship between the two had become closer.

Bigg was also a little surprised, and he looked at Locke with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "I didn't expect the captain to be a member of the Sade family. He thought to himself, and he had a deeper understanding of Locke's background. For him, though, Locke's identity is not the most important thing. The trust between them has long gone beyond the boundaries of the family and has become a family member who trusts each other. Everyone has their own story behind it, and what they have is that indestructible team feeling.

Locke smiled, not turning his head to look at Brooke. "Brooke, you're the first to follow me, and you should know who I really am. There was a hint of banter and ridicule in his tone.

Brooke was stunned for a moment when he heard Locke's words, and then touched his head in embarrassment. "Haha, boss, I didn't expect you to be from the Sade family. He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I always thought your name was Locke or Robert or something, just a family with the same name." "

"Oh my god, you have been hiding it from us for so long. Ariel pouted, and gently hammered her little fist into Locke's shoulder, clearly dissatisfied.

Locke looked at Ariel with a smile on his lips. He gently grabbed Ariel's fist and patted it gently. "Haha, I'm sorry, Ariel, I didn't mean to hide it from you. He explained with a smile.

Ariel glared at Locke, then lowered her head and looked at her little fist with her crystal clear blue eyes. "It's really unpleasant that you're doing that. She whispered, with a hint of grievance in her tone.

Locke couldn't help but laugh as he watched Ariel's cute move. He fondly touched Ariel's pretty head, his fingers running lightly over her silky hair, making her hair a little messy.

Bigg watched the interaction between the two from the sidelines, the corners of his mouth raised and a warm smile appeared. He didn't say anything, just quietly observed it all, enjoying the warm atmosphere.

Leo also looked at the two of them with interest, and his eyes revealed a little curiosity. He glanced back and forth at Locke and Ariel, as if speculating on their relationship. Then he nodded inexplicably, as if to confirm his guess.

As for Brooke, he had a full hiccups!

"Hiccup~".
