Plans in motion

( Leo's POV, The Next Day )

With his business deal with Shane concluded, Leo collected his 2.5 million gold coins and loaded them into his carriage, before setting off for the Eastern Duchy.

However, shortly after departing, Leo transferred the gold from the carriage to his inventory as he had only loaded the carriage with the money for the sake of appearances and had never intended to transport it physically.

The risk of being looted by road bandits was too high to consider such a dangerous option, however, he did not wish to display his inventory ability in front of the NPC's either and hence he loaded up the carriage first for the sake of appearances.

"Back in your masked persona boy?" Ben asked, as he watched Leo get rid of the decent merchant clothes and change back into his comfortable assassin robes and his signature Virex Mask.
