Leonel''s eyes were blinded for a moment. All he felt was that he hadnded upon a soft patch ofnd. It was only after his sight finally came back to him that he realized he was standing atop just one of a series of rolling hills.


    There didn''t seem to be anything particrly special about this ce other than the fact the air felt particrly fresh in an earthy kind of way. The Earth of Leonel''s time had already put a lot of resources into developing clean energy and had saved the long ago. But, its air still felt somewhat artificialpared to this ce.


    Leonel found it hard to exin, but he could only say that the air of his Earth felt almost too clean while this ce carried just the right amount of impurity, It made people feel at ease.


    Not long after Leonel regained his bearings, a silver boat appeared in the skies. And, not long after that, M rushed in with Mayfly, Violet Rain, Big Buddha and Mountain.


    Upon entry, it was no surprise that 11 pairs of eyes fell upon Leonel. Some were of curiosity, some of disdain, and some of rage. The rage and disdain was mostly seen on the yer Legion side while the curiosity came from the Adurna side. Though, thetter seemed to carry a hint of disdain as well.


    This only made sense, after all, Leonel was the only one here without a supporting cast. He was all alone and seen as an easy target.


    They all knew the rules of this ce. The rewards of a Zone were already set in stone in terms of their quantity. In that case, if they killed Leonel, it meant that there would be one more set of rewards for them.


    At this point, Leonel was also feeling a bit tired. It had taken quite a bit of effort to obscure the little girl''s vision with his Light Elemental Force. He hadn''t thought that such a simple action would take so much out of him. He would definitely have to interrogate the dictionary about a better method.


    Still, he wasn''t feeling anxious. Actually, he smiled toward the little girl.


    "You sure caused me a lot of trouble."


    There didn''t seem to be any anger in his voice. He sounded like a big brother speaking to his little sister. In fact, he wasn''t angry at all. He found it difficult to be angry at such an adorable little girl. She couldn''t have been more than 13 or 14 years old.


    The little girl who went by Nana seemed scared of Leonel''s gaze as she hurriedly hid behind another young woman who was closer to Leonel''s age.


    The youngdy red at Leonel as though to give him a warning to not bully her little sister, but Leonel onlyughed. He had always been an only child, but seeing such a scene, he felt that having such an adorable little sister wouldn''t be so bad.


    "Young man, you go by Leonel, correct? What say you to bing a retainer of my Adurna family?" Matteus suddenly spoke.


    He had seen Leonel''s strength. Plus… From what he overheard from M''s conversation with him…


    M, who had just been nning a move on Leonel, suddenly paused, her brows furrowing slightly. They were already outnumbered by one. If Leonel joined them, it would be by two.


    She had already been forced to enter due to the appearance of Matteus. If she didn''t, their side wouldn''t have anyone who could stand up to him. It could be said that this training experience they set aside for the youths waspletely ruined now.


    M sent a re toward Leonel as though warning him of the consequences of epting. It was very likely that the Adurna family would just snatch his treasure and not mind him at all.


    Leonelughed lightly. How could he not know of what Matteus was thinking? However, instead of directly refusing, he suddenly thought of something.


    "Oh? Are you sure you want to ept me?"


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Matteus raised an eyebrow. After a moment, he ''understood''.


    "Don''t worry, there are no irreconcble differences between you and the yer Legion. In fact, M''s actions could be considered a senior bullying a junior. You have every right to leave."


    M''s expression darkened while those who followed her in seemed somewhat embarrassed. They had been so enraged by Leonel''sments that it seemed they forgot they were the ones initially in the wrong.


    However, Leonel shook his head to these words.


    "This isn''t what I meant." Leonel said with a light smile. "I''m already aware of certain things. Old Hutch has a decent impression of me, if I inform him of what happened, dealing with this really wouldn''t be much of a problem.


    "What I mean to say is that I once almost destroyed a Fort of The Empire, are you still certain you want to take me in?"


    Matteus'' expression changed. It wasn''t just him, but M''s as well as everyone else.


    M frowned. Was there such a thing? She had to admit that she didn''t investigate Leonel much past knowing he was affiliated with Hutch. That was about all.


    After a while, Matteus recovered.


    "Just The Empire? Nothing but a puppet on some strings, yet it dares to call itself an Empire."


    Leonel''s brows raised. This was exactly why he said so much. He wanted to know more about the rtionship between The Empire and these hidden families. Matteus'' response was quite… interesting.


    "Oh, that''s good." Leonel pretended to be relieved. "I also killed a few members of the Brazinger family, is that alright too?"


    At this point, everyone almost fainted. Was this person a ma for trouble? If it was anyone else, they might have thought he was lying for some fame, but didn''t they see his boldness with their own two eyes? He even dared to forcefully enter a Zone owned by the yer Legion.


    Matteus'' lip twitched. But in the end, his expression became solemn.


    The rtionship between the hidden families weren''t so simple. They couldn''t be considered to be allies, but they couldn''t be considered to be entirely not either. They all shared a simr goal or goals.


    By now, Matteus was already thinking of using Leonel in exchange for a favor. If he brought Leonel in, gained that treasure of his, and gained a debt of gratitude from the Brazinger family… Just how many birds was he killing with this single stone?


    However, what he could have never expected was for Leonel to start sinking into the ground right before his eyes, leaving him stunned once again.


    "I''ll think about your offer." Leonel said with what seemed like a genuine smile.


    "Boy! Hold it right there!" Big Buddha stepped forward to try and stop Leonel. "Don''t you think you''ve broken enough rules?!"


    Unfortunately for them, Leonel had caught thempletely off guard with his questions. They couldn''t even react before his head disappeared and the earth that had once been mud went back to normal.


    Beneath the ground, Leonel held his breath before bringing one of his silver green whistles to his lips.


    ''Those families really don''t fear The Empire… And what was that about puppet on a string…? And that sh in his eyes when I mentioned the Brazinger family… It seems that their rtionship isn''t simple either…''


    Leonel shook his head, it was about time he found out just what this ce was…

    Leonel''s expression became weird. King Arthur shouldn''t have been a real person, many believed he was just an embellished legend. Beyond that, though… another Merlin''s Prophecy Zone? Who the hell was this person? He should have been fabricated too…
