After counting all the heads and getting the total amount of 88 Magical Beast Head, Christian immediately gave Leo the Official Seal of Completion with the 880 points recorded inside.
Leo calmly received the Official Seal of Completion before hurriedly leaving from the East Sewer with the net bags.
He knew that the Black organization would eventually return to the cave to get the 12 pieces of large Mana stones, and obviously, they will find out that all of it was now missing. So, he wanted to quickly leave the place to avoid any trouble.
Arriving in the street, Leo went to hail a carriage and told the chauffeur to go to Sword and Magic.
Since Leo had been in East Sewer Management, obviously, even if he tried to avoid trouble, he would still be unable to do so since those people from Black organization will investigate everyone that went in and out from the East Sewer the moment they found out that the 12 pieces of large Mana stones were missing.
So, Leo wanted to create some misleading leads that will make him out of the suspicious people listed.
Going to Sword and Magic, Leo would sell 3 pieces of large Mana stones and Magical Beast bodies to Madam Silva.
Madam Silva would obviously just record the Magical Beast bodies in the list of items that he had sold at Sword and Magic, and not the 3 large Mana stones since that is something that shouldn't be listed transparently.
So, the moment the Black organization went to investigate, they will only find out that Leo had sold Magical Beast bodies and nothing more, hence getting him out of the suspicious people list.
Obviously, with Leo's relationship with Madam Silva, there wasn't really a need for him to really give her the 3 large Mana stones. She might not even bother about it and just nod her head without inquiring the reason why.
However, that is such a disrespectful and not honorable way of doing things, and he wasn't the type to use someone without any reason or exchange. Since she would help him unknowingly, then the 3 pieces of large Mana stones are his way of repaying the help, also unknown and inconspicuous.
Arriving at Sword and Magic, Leo asked to meet with Madam Silva from Evangelion, which the latter nodded and guided him to her office.
Knocking on Madam Silva's office door, Evangelion said, "Madam Silva, sir Leo is here to talk business with you!" then he bowed and left.
Hearing about Leo wants to discuss business with her, Madam Silva calmly dropped all the things she was currently doing before replying to the former to come in.
"Come in!"
Leo slowly opened the door before walking inside while carrying four net bags with Magical Beast bodies inside.
Looking at the four net bags, Madam Silva's eyes suddenly lit up brightly. She obviously knew that the net bags weren't only holding Magical Beast bodies, but also another treasure covered by the bodies.
"Oh, so you found another treasure again?" Madam Silva asked.
"Hehehe, yes... But unfortunately, I can only sell to you 3 pieces of large Mana stones this time out of the 12 that I had found again. Since I needed the other 9 pieces to prepare for the upcoming monthly competition at Silver Mage Academy." Leo quickly explained, while using the excuse 'upcoming tournament', for his real goal in mind.
What Leo had said was actually not just an excuse, but also the truth. He was indeed going to use the large Mana stones that he had found to increase his strength, to prepare himself for the upcoming end of the month competition. After all, after today there would only be 2 weeks more remaining before the coming end of the month competition. So, strengthening himself was now really important for him.
"The Silver Mage Academy end of the month competition, hmmm..." Madam Silva suddenly paused as if thinking about something, then her eyes lit up as she quickly continued, "Ah...! I almost forgot, be sure to perform well in one of the competitions, much better if you can win it. The President had sent me a letter saying that he would be coming to watch you at that event. I don't really know the reason why, but it might be because he's thinking of investing more resources on you, or maybe to officially recruit you to Sword and Magic!"
Hearing Madam Silva's reminder, Leo immediately became dumbfounded, "The President of Sword and Magic was actually going to come and visit me during the end of the month competition! An existence akin to an Emperor was actually going to come and watch me perform?"
Sweat suddenly covered Leo's forehead. The expectations were just too much for him to handle. The King of Silver Kingdom watching them perform would be fine since he was obviously going to watch everyone perform.
However, an Emperor's existence watching was different, that existence is akin to the ruler of multiple Kingdoms. So its existence was akin to many Kings watching. Moreover, this Emperor's existence was going to specifically watch him and only him, too.
"Okay..." Leo said, unable to think of a better answer.
"Okay show me the large Mana stones!"
....
Meanwhile, at East Sewer, a group of men in black clothes with many different tokens on their chest slowly made their way inside with the help of someone from the East Sewer Management.
It was just like what Leo had expected. Someone had helped them within. But, what he didn't really expect was this person that would help them was actually someone really powerful within East Sewer Management, someone capable of making all the workers within East Sewer Management to empty out the area if he wanted to.
This group of Black organization members went straight to where Leo had found the hole before, obviously since they were really familiar with this place.
Getting inside the hole, they went straight to where the Sewer Lizard was lying dead at as if expecting already that the Sewer Lizard would not attack them or anything else.
Arriving at the place, a man wearing a black robe with a golden token with a symbol of a black tree approached the dead Sewer Lizard. Afterwards, this person smiled cunningly as he motioned for the others to proceed to the place where the 12 pieces of large Mana stones were.
However, after a while, one of the members that had gone deeper to check the large Mana stones had suddenly run back in panic.
"Sir! The 12 pieces of large Mana stones are missing!"
"What!!" The man in the black robe replied in shock before frantically running to the end of the cave.
As soon as the man in the black robe arrived at the end of the cave, he immediately looked up only to see 12 empty holes. Those holes were supposedly where the 12 large Mana stones were embedded at.
"Who dared to offend the Black organization! Everyone spread out and investigate who this foolish person is. To actually steal something that our great priest needed for his grand plan, that person must die as a punishment!" The Black robe loudly ordered everyone.
Those men in black clothes nodded their heads in reply before running out of the cave to begin their investigation.
