Everyone, aside from Leo and Cassandra, doesn't know whether they should laugh or cry after hearing this. If scamming people was as great as this, then they don't mind being scammed. Imagine, a product, even if it was a Magical resource, has actually earned Leo nine or ten times its original price, even the richest person in the entire Celestial World would accept this free money.

What's even more surprising was, Leo, the victim, was actually completely unaware of this. He's a Mage, so how did he not know about the price?

At the side, though, Leo is now fully aware of how it had happened. Firstly, he was just a beginner Mage at that time, and even right now, hence he has less than a month of experience and not to mention knowledge about Magic related stuff. If it was not Magic related stuff, then he could claim that he knew a lot of it. And lastly, Madam Silva was a 5th Galaxy Mage, so she obviously knew of a lot of things about Leo already but had just chosen to remain silent and act ignorant about them, which includes him underestimating the capability of Mages, meaning he's ignorant about them. He was really a fool to believe that he had successfully lied to Madam Silva. Considering those two reasons, it is pretty obvious to assume that she had used his weakness as a way to secretly invest in him, specifically his ignorance about Magic related stuff. Is this perhaps what they said as ignorance is a bliss?

After finding that out, his desire to know the reason why Madam Silva was supporting him so much has immediately reached another high level.

"Just what exactly is your reason for doing all of this...?" Leo thought to himself.

Everyone hides a secret or two, even he has a lot of secrets himself, too. But in his opinion, Madam Silva's secret is not as what he had thought in the beginning. It seems like it is something like his, but just bigger, specifically revenge!

He isn't really a hundred percent sure about his assumption, maybe around eighty percent or so, but based on the Blood Contract that they have signed in the beginning, specifically in the agreed term that he would lend a hand to her if she needs help though completely in his decision, and the effort of investing in him in secret with an obvious reason to make him develop faster, he can somewhat feel already that she's preparing for revenge. To be more precise, she's helping some people with high potential to become strong quickly so as to have them help her in her goal of revenge.

Although he doesn't know who Madam Silva wanted revenge from, but that person should be powerful for her to spend so much effort.

"Let's forget about that, I'll ask her myself later." Leo quickly changed the topic, "So anyways, do you know where Master Olivia is right now?"

"I think she's still in your manor's yard, playing chess with the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom." Cassandra answered.

"Oh, didn't expect it would be this easy..." Leo smiled mischievously. At first, he thought that his Master Olivia was in some secluded area, but it turns out it was actually just in his own house.

Without wasting any more time, Leo leads everyone to his manor. It was now time to focus on their invasion of the Silver Kingdom.

.....

After a few minutes of walking, Leo and the others finally arrived at the only entrance of the Mischievous Lion Academy, which is actually also the entrance of Leo's manor at the top of the hill.

Before entering the Mischievous Lion Academy, though, a guard walks toward them to ask for what their business was for entering a restricted area of Heart city.

"Student Council President Cassandra and Student Council Vice-president Elizabeth, may I ask why you have brought people who aren't students of Mischievous Lion Academy at our gate?" The Guard asked.

Just by basing on the Guard's words, it was pretty easy to guess that he's just new in the Heart city and that he hasn't yet completely finished his investigation about this place.

Although Cassandra and Elizabeth wanted to reply, it was Gretchen who walked in front to answer.

"You see that manor at the top of Mischievous Lion Academy?" Gretchen asked.

"Of course, that manor belongs to the City Ruler of Heart city, Leo Heart!" The Guard easily answered.

"Oh, so you know who owns the place but actually doesn't recognize him?" Gretchen sneered.

Everyone wasn't really intending to cause trouble for the Guard since they can't blame him for being ignorant about it, but it seems like Gretchen wanted to teach the Guard using the hard way.

"Of course I recognize him!" The Guard quickly replied.

"Oh, then how about you describe him to me?"

"Easy, Leo Heart is, of course, a man, he's old considering his achievements, but of course still handsome..."

Just that line alone, everyone chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" The Guard dubiously asked. But he then noticed that Leo wasn't, so he went to ask him, "Boy, why are they laughing?"

With that reaction, everyone wasn't chuckling anymore but was now all laughing.

"Don't mind them, just continue describing Leo Heart." Gretchen motioned while trying to stop from laughing, which she wasn't able to do so as she can't help herself to continue laughing right after telling the Guard to continue. She was indeed intending to teach the Guard in a hard way, but seeing how it develops now, she thought of wanting to see how it would end instead.

"Oh, okay..." The Guard nodded totally not minding their laughter anymore, "Some people said he's cold and serious, so despite being handsome his face should be full of wrinkles, right? Then, they said he always hunts for Magical Beast, and considering that he's already old now, he should be using a stick to walk. Lastly, his hair should all be white and there should be baldness in some places."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

With the Guard's description finished, everyone no longer cares trying to hold their laughter down as all of them laughed loudly.

The Guard once again turned to look at Leo, "Boy, did I say anything wrong?"

Leo's head was twitching in annoyance already, and hearing the Guard asking him what's wrong with his words, he almost wanted to smack the Guard's head and send him flying out of his sight. Fortunately for the Guard, he saw that this was Gretchen's change of intention from the moment that the Guard started describing him.

"Oh nothing is wrong, but you see that girl who asked you a question." Leo pointed at Gretchen.

"Yes? What about her?" The Guard focused on listening.

"You obviously didn't notice this, but she was actually trying to make you look like a fool. Jus looked at them laughing at you. So if I were you, I would immediately call for backup and catch her. Imprisoned her into the manor's underground prison, and make her repent for her action, understand?" Leo explained.

The Guard was obviously smart enough to connect the dots of them laughing at his own description, so without any hesitation, he signaled the other Guards behind the gate to come.

Seeing this, no one bothers laughing anymore as the atmosphere quickly turned serious.

"Hey, don't believe that guy. To tell you the truth, we were laughing because the person you were describing is that guy in front of you!" Gretchen quickly defended herself.

"Oh, still trying to make a fool out of me?" The Guard pointed his sword to Gretchen's face, "Everyone, catch her, I'm feeling that she is a spy of the Silver royal family!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"I suggest that you call more people, I can feel that she's not easy to handle!" Leo added more fuel to the already burning fire.

The Guard nodded his head before quickly ordering a guard nearby, "Call for more reinforcement!"

After doing that, Leo then turned to look at Gretchen as he smiled mischievously while he slowly formed his mouth into the word, "Let's... see... how... you... handle... this...!"

In Gretchen's level, she obviously can easily handle a bunch of No Star, even without breaking any sweat. But she has started this mess so she obviously can't just be so unreasonable as to beat them up, not to mention Queen Olivia was in the manor right now while playing chess with the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom, so she obviously can't cause any trouble here. But, because the Guards were now calling for more help and had already surrounded her, she has no choice anymore aside from fighting back or to come with them voluntarily and peacefully. No matter what choices, though, it means she lost the fight against Leo. Oh, she can actually also run as well, but she would obviously be using a troublesome method to get in the manor without raising any sort of attention, especially when crossing the other wall before entering the land of Leo's manor, which meant the same thing as the other two prior choices, specifically she lost!

"I give up..." Gretchen raised both of her hands in surrender. Since she was going to lose anyways, then why bother finding a way out, right? Anyways, this was just a friendly fight.

Seeing that Gretchen has surrendered, Leo quickly motioned a few guards who he can see has recognized him to stop.

"What are you waiting for? Immediately catch her!" The Guard was stunned seeing them stop, but he quickly continued with his intention to catch Gretchen.

"Sir, this person is indeed Leo Heart, and look at your sword." The Guard nearby Leo's side said while pointing at the sword pointing at Gretchen's direction.

Turning around, the Guard was dumbfounded after seeing the blade of his sword has actually been destroyed into pieces with Gretchen's hand alone.

"I..." The Guard finally understood his mistake as he quickly wanted to kneel down to apologize.

But Leo, who noticed this quickly stopped him, "Don't kneel, we were only having a silent fight, so it's fine."

"But..."

"Don't worry!" Margaret added with a smile to make the Guard calm down. As Gretchen's friend, she naturally understood that Gretchen just wanted to see how their conversation with the Guard would develop. Unfortunately, though, Leo obviously didn't like it and had then turned the situation completely in his favor.

"Hahaystt..." Gretchen sigh in surrender.

"Let's go!" Leo motioned for everyone to enter.

Soon after, Leo and the other entered the Mischievous Lion Academy. They immediately saw a few buildings for the classrooms, a library, an arena under construction, a training ground for the student, and many more buildings commonly found in any other Mage Academies.

Leo didn't bother wasting any more time in observing the Mischievous Lion Academy since he has time for that later on. He leads his group straight towards the manor.

This time, the guards guarding the gate before entering the manor were immediately able to recognized Leo, so they opened the gate without asking any questions.

Moments later, Leo and the other finally arrived at the manor. They then quickly went inside and went to the yard.

Over there, Leo then saw his Master Olivia playing chess with a beautiful woman with blue wavy hair. This woman almost looked identical to Princess Elaine. The only difference is her face is much more mature and her aura is much more refined.

"Oh, Leo, you've finally come!" Olivia stopped playing chess as she turned to look at Leo, "Oh, Gretchen too? Sorry for bothering you to help my disciple."

"No problem at all!" Gretchen said. Queen Olivia didn't actually ask her to help Leo, she just decided to help him personally because of the benefits of the mission.

"Elaine?" The Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom turned to look at Princess Elaine in surprise.

"Hi, mother!" Princess Elaine slowly approached her mother before kissing her cheeks.

"What are you doing here?"

"Would you believe me I came to visit you?"

"Of course I would, everything you say is always the truth."

"Hehehehe, my mother really knows me the best." Princess Elaine smiled. She then turned to look at Leo and the others, "Everyone, this is my mother, the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom, Queen Maria."

"Greetings your Highness Queen Maria!" Leo and the other immediately greeted with one of their knees kneeling on the ground.. This was the simplest yet courteous way to great a Queen of any Kingdom.
