"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruby heard the words and after a moment of bewilderment, she gave Levi a blank glance.
But Levi looked at her seriously and was about to speak, but his phone suddenly rang, interrupting his words.
Levi frowned at the caller and saw that it was Chester calling before he answered the phone with a black face, "What's up?"
"Mr. Levi, today another group of forces from outside the country have entered Sea City, all of them ranked high on the hunter list, in the recent month, hundreds of hunters have entered Sea City one after another, the highest ranked is Lagus. Mr. Levi, what exactly is it about Sea City that attracts them so much? This time there are actually so many people coming all at once that even the FBI has been alarmed and is recently arranging for people to come over to H Country." Chester couldn't help but speak up about the situation in Sea City today.
Levi gave Ruby a thoughtful glance and did not reply.
"Mr. Levi, what are we going to do? The new Colonel Sean Grant doesn't care about these things at all, and has instructed us not to continue to keep an eye on those people, just let them move around in Sea City." Chester added when he did not receive response from Levi.
"Got it." Levi hung up the phone straight away.
"A group of hunters have recently arrived in Sea City, and I reckon they're coming for your grandmother." Only after Levi hung up the phone did he look at Ruby with a serious expression.
"What?" Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked at Levi.
"Your grandmother's identity is a high level secret, I can't tell you exactly what her identity is, but one thing is for sure, she has a rather important piece of information on her body, which everyone at home and abroad wants to get. As long as this information stays in her hands, sooner or later she will attract the top ten people on the hunter list to come out and kill her. She is in a very dangerous position now." Levi thought that Ruby did not know the seriousness of the situation nowadays, and seriously explained to her.
"What do you want to say!?" Ruby asked.
"I need to stay at your home and protect your grandmother close twenty-four hours a day in case of an accident." Levi answered Ruby in a straightforward manner.
The corners of Ruby's mouth twitched, this man had actually found such a grand reason for staying overnight.
She shook her head, gesturing to the sofa, "You can sleep on the sofa if you want to stay."
Ruby's room had a small two-seater sofa, which was not particularly large, so a petite girl can sleep on it, but it was a bit difficult for Levi, who was tall, to sleep on it.
Levi glanced at it and his eyes fell on the floor: "No need, I can sleep on the floor.
"
"As you like." Ruby stretched her hand indifferently.
She went inside and got a new set of quilt and threw it to Levi.
Levi laid down directly on the floor, the movement was so skilful that Ruby was amazed: "Do you always play on the floor? Why are you so skilled?"
"When I go out on missions, I often have to sleep on the ground, many times I don't even have a quilt. You can go to sleep, don't worry about me." Levi smiled and replied casually.
Ruby was silent for a while, and said nothing.
Ruby was more or less uncomfortable with the extra person inside.
The atmosphere was quiet and harmonious as one lay on the bed and the other on the floor, moving in neat and unison as they looked at the ceiling, neither speaking.
It was only after a long time that Levi spoke softly, "I wasn't joking just now, I was serious."
"What!?" Ruby heard Levi speak and did not react at once, subconsciously asking.
