"If it's okay, can you tell me more of that 9th Galaxy Mage called Barbara?" Leo asked. Now that his confusion was finally cleared out, he now needs to find out more about his opponent.

Madam Silva sat back in her chair before replying, "Barbara is a 9th Galaxy Special Mage. Her unique capability is to change into the appearance of the person she had killed, called Perfect Disguise, a unique capability for Uncommon rank Special Mages. She's one of the 10 Vice-president of the Black organization, specifically the weakest, but although she's the weakest, she's still very deadly due to her capability to completely change her physical appearance, hence most of her target was completely caught off guard by her."

"Since you've mentioned just now that Barbara is only capable of changing her physical appearance to those people she had killed, then how was she able to turn into your President when she has actually not been able to kill him?" Leo curiously asked.

"Just like any other Magic spells, the unique capability of Special Mages can also improve further in rank. Even those Special Mages who have a Mythical rank unique capability can also improve theirs, and so are those with Common rank unique capability too. So, not to mention Barbara, who basically has access to a seemingly unlimited amount of Magical resources for being the Vice-president of a Black organization. Moreover, she's also a Dark Apostle, hence she has the blessing of the Black organization's Dark God, which I'm assuming can also further improve her unique capability." Madam Silva replied.

"Oh, now I understand..." Leo nodded his head in understanding. Well, even his Red Cube has improved the more Magical resources he has used and the more he improves his cultivation.

"And since you secretly approached me, then does that mean you want to work with the Mischievous Lion organization to kill this Barbara? Or rather, based on your current circumstances, to interrogate her about the whereabouts of your President?" Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Investing in you was indeed a very, very, very smart idea, or more appropriately the perfect decision I have ever made in my entire life." Madam Silva nodded her head, "Just like what you've guessed, I indeed want to work a plan to defeat Barbara so as to interrogate her about the whereabouts, or rather some information about our President. However, you're also greatly mistaken. I actually came here not to discuss an alliance with the Mischievous Lion organization, but instead to work with you, to be more exact, to work with Leo Heart the leader of the Smiling Lion group, the City Lord of Heart city, and the favorite disciple of Olivia."

"Me?" Leo can't help asking whether what he heard was correct or not.

"Yes, you!" Madam Silva replied while her hand was pointing at Leo.

���Isn't it much more advantageous for you to discuss an alliance with the entire Mischievous Lion organization instead, compared to working together with me?"

"Let me correct myself," Madam Silva faked a cough, "Ehem! What I meant to say is, I want to post a job order to the Smiling Lion group, only. And I'm specifically requesting the leader of this group to accept this job."

"Now, do you understand it clearly?" Madam Silva said before pushing a piece of paper in front of Leo.

Leo slowly walked closer towards Madam Silva without feeling cautious or careful anymore since he already understood what she really wants. He then slowly picked up the paper, or rather a contract, and began reading it.

Moments later, he put down the piece of paper as he looked at Madam Silva deep in her eyes and asked, "Are you serious with this?"

The Contract was just similar to any other missions they have accepted in the past, specifically to help Sword and Magic capture Barbara.

However, the reward was unlike any other as it was mentioned that the Smiling Lion group, as in only his group from the entire Mischievous Lion organization, would be able to use all of the Sword and Magic branches in any Kingdoms and Empires as their outpost when executing any sort of missions. As a result, this wouldn't just increase the scope of their missions, but also the number of missions they could get and more exposure to their Smiling Lion group, too.

Although the Mischievous Lion organization was repeatedly mentioned to be the ruler of the Underground World, that is actually only when it comes to the Underground World of Silver Kingdom.

Despite the Mischievous Lion organization having a few missions outside of the Silver Kingdom as well, the numbers were only a few and most of the missions were only some easy kind which even the weakest of the organization in that Kingdon can complete, the only reason they even bothered completing it was for more exposure to their Mischievous Lion organization.

But, with the Smiling Lion group being able to use the Sword and Magic as an outpost, it also meant they can now accept missions given to the latter, use their branches as a base for any operations such as for planning and getting supplies, and lastly, the most important of all, their credibility would increase because they are in a partnership with Sword and Magic, and with credibility means clients would trust them and the reward would also increase, and not to mention the amount of tip would also increase.

Aside from being able to make use of their Sword and Magic branches as an outpost for their Smiling Lion group, the other reward once completed was Leo would be given an Honorary-Guest status, specifically a copper token, which is the lowest kind of VIP membership of Sword and Magic, hence his VIP status in Sword and Magic wouldn't only take effect in the branches of Sword and Magic in the territory of Silver Kingdom, but all throughout their branches in different Kingdoms and Empires. Though the advantages of having a VIP copper token aren't really that much compared to the treatment he has been receiving in the Sword and Magic branches of Silver Kingdom, but still it is manageable, at least for this moment.

Although there was no reward money, he doesn't really care about that because the reward was more than what money could even buy.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Leo asked. He really wants to accept this mission, no argument is even needed, but he is worried about one thing, specifically what is Madam Silva's other intention of giving him this much for a reward.

"You're not asking about whether I can really give you this reward or not?" Madam Silva asked in intrigued.

"I already know that your rank in Sword and Magic is high, just basing on your cultivation and also being one of the people that your President trusts the most. So, giving this kind of reward is indeed possible for you. What I'm worried about is, why would you give me this much? No, to be more exact, what is your other intention of giving me this much?" Leo finally revealed his thoughts.

"Oh, isn't it simple; because you will help me capture a 9th Galaxy Special Mage, that's why I'm giving you this much of a reward." Madam Silva replied while putting her chip on top of his clasping hand.

"Helping you simply meant that we will not be the one to capture Barbara, but the Sword and Magic themselves. The kind of help wasn't even mentioned, hence simply giving you information can be considered as help, too. So, no matter how I looked at it, this reward is just too much, and not to mention really suspicious as well," Leo replied as he sat on the chair opposite to Madam Silva, "So, what is your goal?"

Hearing Leo's words, Madam Silva can't help chuckling as she then said, "You're really unlike any other young people I've met, hahahaha! Rather than calling you smart, it's more appropriate to call you as an extremely careful and cautious guy!"

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with being so careful and cautious, especially when dealing with a behemoth existence like Sword and Magic," Leo replied with a smile.

"That is indeed reasonable, hehehehe," Madam Silva chuckled, "Tell me honestly, you have thought already of why I'm giving you this much of a reward, right?"

Leo nodded his head and replied, "For investment,"

"Exactly, for investment. Just like what the Blood Contract we have signed in the very beginning had mentioned, I would be investing in you and in return, you will help me when I need it, but of course, it is your decision whether to accept it or not." Madam Silva said before handing Leo a pen.

Leo accepted the pen, but before deciding to sign it, he asked one last question, "Is there really no other reason for you to give me this much of a reward? There should at least be another reason, right?"

"Leo, since you're a very smart person, then I'll give you a challenge, of course, it has a reward." Madam Silva said.

"What kind of challenge?"

"I'll give you three chances, if you can guess the exact reason why I'm helping you this much, then me and my men would be working under you." Madam Silva smiled.

"Would there be another contract to sign for that challenge, or would it only be a verbal agreement?"

"Don't worry, I have never gone back with my words."

Without wasting any more time, Leo signed his name on the contract, causing it to turn into numerous wisps of blue lights before it quickly went inside his consciousness.

"Along with this mission, I would also be accepting that challenge." Leo smiled mischievously as he handed back the pen to Madam Silva.

"I'll be waiting for that," Madam Silva smiled back as she accepted the pen.
