Leo and Madam Silva talked for a bit before finally bidding farewell.

This time, Madam Silva and the others won\'t be returning to Sword and Magic yet, and instead would be traveling from each of the Underground World to gather their hidden members and to also request reinforcement secretly to the Sword and Magic Headquarters.

"Are you really sure that this is not a trap?" Charlotte can\'t help asking.

"Whether it\'s a trap or not, we would only be able to know about it at a later date. As for now, we need to gather everyone to continue our travel to Heart city." Leo replied. But in his mind, he already knows the answer; it wasn\'t a trap because the Blood Contract they have signed had said so.

Charlotte nodded her head in understanding.

Although the Pathway of Elites was destroyed, that still doesn\'t mean they can\'t travel to other cities throughout the entire Silver Kingdom.

The Underground World under the Lion Heart city is the Capital of the Underground World of Silver Kingdom, therefore all of the Underground Worlds throughout the Silver Kingdom are connected to the Capital, hence they can use it to travel from city to city.

.....

Moments later, Leo along with Charlotte finally meet up with the others, specifically at the location of the destroyed Pathway of Elites.

"Leo!" Gretchen called while motioning her hand to make Leo come.

"Fortunately, you were able to find out of the Sword and Magic\'s plan, or else they would have discovered the Lion Heart city\'s location." Gretchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you dismiss all of your men, I need to tell you something." Leo suddenly said.

Gretchen didn\'t bother questioning Leo as she quickly dismissed all of her men and guided Leo to a seemingly inconspicuous corner.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gretchen curiously asked.

"It\'s about this attack," Leo said, "It\'s actually not done by the Sword and Magic, but instead the Black organization."

"Huh?" Gretchen became dumbfounded as she then quickly asked, "We have already checked some of their bodies, and all of the evidence we have gathered so far pointed at the Sword branch of Sword and Magic, not the Black organization. So, how can you say it\'s the Black organization instead?"

"I know the people leading this operation. In fact, we have talked while you guys were busy fighting." Leo didn\'t bother hiding his talk with Madam Silva. Anyways, Gretchen was someone she really trusts, and not to mention she\'s his Master Olivia\'s right hand, "They said that the Sword and Magic that arrived in Southern Fortress are actually not their people, but instead the Black organization, which is lead by one of the Black organization\'s Vice-presidents, Barbara, a 9th Galaxy Special Mage."

"A Special Mage...?" Gretchen thought for a bit as she then continued, "So, what you wanted to say is, this Barbara can change her physical appearance, and that the Vladimir, the President of Sword and Magic, is actually her in disguised using her unique capability?"

Leo just simply nodded his head in response.

"However, let\'s say that what you have said is true, then why were they leading those men to capture you?" Gretchen said with a doubtful look on her face.

"They were actually leading them to do a suicide mission." Leo quickly corrected, "Have you ever wonder why we were able to easily beat them? In fact, I\'ve only used 2 of my plans out of the 5 I\'ve prepared. And also, imagine this, Sword and Magic, a behemoth existence comparable to Empire\'s in strength, was actually beaten by a country-bumpkin living in a Kingdom while at the age of 19 years old. Do you really think that\'s possible? Or let\'s say it is, but do you think I can do that?"

"It\'s possible..." Gretchen nodded her head in reply.

"Have you ever meet the Guardians of each Sword and Magic branches in Silver Kingdom?" Leo asked.

"Guardians?" Gretchen curiously asked. They have already investigated all the things about Sword and Magic thoroughly, but this is her first time hearing about them having Guardians.

Just like what Leo had expected, Gretchen doesn\'t know about their Guardians. In fact, even he only knew about their existence back when he was escorting Veronica to Silver city.

"They are the people who are tasked to safeguard the interest of Sword and Magic secretly in Silver Kingdom. To be more exact, aside from the Sword branch, they are also the ones who protect the Sword and Magic." Leo explained, "And the people leading this operation were two of the Sword and Magic\'s Guardians, one is capable of Teleportation in a large distance, and the other one can easily send people into an illusion. With them working together, do you really think they still need hundreds of men to capture a 19 years old young man living in a manor with only 17 people standing guard around?"

"You don\'t need to reply, because obviously, they don\'t need them. So, why bother even sending them, right? Even if they also need people to help them, they would only be needing some, not hundreds of men. And in fact, do you think that we can survive if ever the Sword and Magic really sent out hundreds of their men? We won\'t, and that\'s an undeniable fact."

"Moreover, didn\'t you just see how disorganized they were? Some were still trying to capture me, some were escaping, and some were even trying to climb up the Pathway of Elites. Although nothing is wrong with that, but think about this, those people trying to capture me already know that even if they can indeed capture me, they won\'t be able to escape anymore; those people escaping didn\'t even bother blending in with the masses or hiding and wait for the right time to escape, but had instead thought of only escaping as soon as possible; and lastly, they don\'t even know anything about the Pathway of Elites. If they\'re indeed members of the Sword and Magic, do you really think they would be so careless, especially on something that leads to their opponent\'s greatest secret?" Leo added more facts.

Those 3 reasons were exactly the things he was very curious about and had even labeled those actions as something only stupid people would do. However, after talking with Madam Silva, he finally knew why.

Those people that want to capture him were actually only thinking of using him as a hostage for them to escape, or rather use him to escape before finally killing him.

Those people that want to escape didn\'t bother blending in with the crowd or hiding and wait because they want to report to Barbara that Madam Silva and the others already found out about their secrets as soon as possible.

And lastly, those people going up the Pathway of Elites were sent by Evangelion with a very simple reason; send them in the middle of the enemy territory, meaning he wants to send them into their deaths.

Obviously, those people going up the Pathway of Elites were still ignorant of the fact that Madam Silva and the others have already found out, hence they didn\'t hesitate to follow their orders. With how far away were the members of the Black organization from one another, it is just reasonable that they won\'t be able to have good communication, which is actually still part of Evangelion\'s plan.

"I also found their plans as very stupid, so that\'s actually the reason why." Gretchen finally believed Leo, "But why are you telling me this, though?"

Hearing Gretchen\'s question, Leo suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Oh, no..." Gretchen can\'t help shaking her head helplessly. With how many times she had worked with Leo in the past, he was already long aware of what that smile meant.

"I need your help."

"Okay, okay," Gretchen replied with a sigh of helplessness, "Since I\'ve already fallen into your trap, then what kind of plan do you need my help for?"

"It\'s very simple, gather all of your men because we would be helping the Sword and Magic in capturing Barbara!"

Although the contract had said that Madam Silva would need Leo\'s help to capture Barbara. It had not specifically mentioned what sort of help, hence he can do any kind of help. And the help he would be doing would require a lot of manpower.

.....

Because the Pathway of Elites was already destroyed, Leo\'s only choice left is to travel to the Underground World of Blue Coral city and then go up the surface from that location to travel to Heart city.

Although they can simply use his fountain in front of his manor back at Smiling Lion street, that place was blown into pieces when the entire manor was destroyed, hence it is unusable for the moment. If he wants to use it, then he would need to repair the entrance to the tunnel first, which would take them a lot of time, considering how much damage he had caused.

Also, he was in need of more members of the Mischievous Lion organization, hence he now needs to visit the Blue Coral city to gather them up. Right now, Blaze, Haze, Glaze, and all of their men would be following him along with Grethen and her men, while leaving the sulking Headguard who would help repair the Pathway of Elites with his men and of course with the help also of the people back at Lion Heart city who are obviously already thinking of fixing the Pathway of Elites, since it is something they really needed in order to help the inhabitant of Lion Heart city with their lives.

"Are you all ready?" Leo asked Charlotte, Gretchen, and Blaze.

"Everyone is prepared." Charlotte replied.

"Be sure that I will be receiving a reasonable reward for this! I have even left thousands of my customers just to help you!" Gretchen exclaimed.

"I\'m so excited, I have never tried working with Leo before." Blaze clenched his fist in excitement.

"Right, right, right, this would be a new experience for us brothers!" Haze excitedly said.

"But don\'t forget that we are only doing this for Young Master George!" Glaze reminded, which Blaze and Haze just simply rolled their eyes in response. Of course, they would be doing this for their Young Master George, but there was no need to remind them that since it would just destroy their excitement.

Hearing that everyone is finally ready, Leo then began leading the group.
