Leo immediately returned back to his tent after finishing with everything.

Laying down on his bed, Leo immediately started counting the profit he has earned today.

Right now, inside the 4 Storage Rings were a total of 5,000 Chaos Orbs, each Storage Rings has 1,250 Chaos Orbs inside.

All of these Chaos Orbs were of the highest quality. Therefore, although there was a huge amount of Chaos Mana around the entire Silver City, it was only able to produce 5,000 Chaos Orbs. Anyways, he wasn't really disappointed, considering that all of these Chaos Orbs were earned for free and the benefits a single Chaos Orb could give is already a lot for not only a single Mage but tens or so of Mages in terms of boosting the speed of their cultivation.

"If I indeed cleared out all the Chaos Mana in the other cities of Silver Kingdom, then I would have around 45,000 Chaos Orbs. However, if I do that, then it would cause a much more bigger commotion..."

Leo began pondering with himself on how he should handle the other Chaos Mana of the rest of Silver Kingdom's cities.

He can already expect that the next day, when everyone shockingly found out that all the Chaos Mana around the Silver City are gone, it would immediately attract everyone's attention, causing everyone to investigate about it. After all, a huge amount of Chaos Mana has just entirely disappeared in one day. No, in just one night, to be exact.

As a result, everyone would begin investigating about the cause. And if he isn't careful, then his secret would definitely be found out.

Although almost everyone knows that he is capable of summoning Elementals, that can still be easily covered up by categorizing him as one of the Special Mages.

However, on the other hand, the capability of absorbing all the Chaos Mana in just one night and turning all of them into Chaos Orbs, specifically Magical resources that contain a pure concentration of Chaos Mana, was something completely unheard of.

No one amongst the Human race has ever been recorded having the ability to create such a thing in the past. And even if they looked at the Foreign races, they would still not be able to find the existence of Chaos Orbs or even the Element Orbs, because such Magical resources can only be created by the Fate Cube.

Actually, his secret getting found out by the people living in the Silver Kingdom wasn't really considered as a big deal for him. The exact problem, however, is that he was aiming to make a name for himself outside of Silver Kingdom to attract a lot of people to him. Hence, as his name becomes more known, different forces would definitely send people to Silver Kingdom to investigate about him, which would eventually make them discover about such a secret of him being able to create Element Orbs if ever he carelessly allowed people from the Silver Kingdom to know about his capability to create Element Orbs.

In order to avoid that from turning into a reality, he would need to do everything in secret.

The problem, though, is how he should do that?

As of now, he can already expect that tomorrow, people would find out about all the Chaos Mana being cleared out in just one night. So, the investigation would definitely begin tomorrow. Because of that, his movement would certainly become limited. He won't be able to purify all the Chaos Mana and turn them into Chaos Orbs from all of those cities of Silver Kingdom.

"Let's see," Leo took out a map of the entire Silver Kingdom and laid it out on the table right beside his bed. He then began pondering on what he should do in order to not get caught.

"The area with the biggest profit right now is the Northern region, specifically the Williams City, White River City, Will City, Honoris City, Crystal Skull City, and Snow City." Leo draws a circle on the 6 cities he has mentioned. He then continued, "However, once the investigation begins, the first to be investigated would definitely be the Crystal Skull City and Snow City, since the both of them is the territory of the Snow Household. As for the Williams City, Will City, White River City, and Honoris City, they are already abandoned cities, so it would take some time before an investigation team arrives."

"So..." Leo carefully draws a straight line from Silver City going straight to north, which is the White River City, "I'll go to the White River City first," He then draws a straight line west, "Then cross the Yellow Forest to get to Will City," Lastly, he drew a straight line to the north again, "Then my last stop would be the Honoris City."

"As for the Williams City, although I can indeed earn profit from that place, it's still considered as an unknown variable." Leo made a cross mark on the Williams City.

Despite already knowing that the Black organization has left towards the Twilight Forest, no one can say for sure yet whether there are still remnants of the Black organization over the Williams City or not.

Therefore, just to be safe he will, unfortunately, be avoiding going to Williams City.

"First, I'll sell all of the Chaos stones I've stolen from the Black organization, which is a total of 400 pieces to the Sword and Magic tomorrow. Then I'll gather Cassandra and the others to begin the journey of leaving Silver Kingdom, which would be following this guide I've drawn." Leo slowly folded the map before putting it inside his Storage Ring, "Before that though, I will get myself some sleep first."

After saying that, Leo then positioned himself comfortably on his bed before finally going straight to sleep.

He still needs to do a lot of things tomorrow, which will require his energy and stamina.

.....

The next day, Leo quickly stood up from his bed, swiftly finished his morning routines, change into a new set of clothes, before leaving the tent to meet up with Ethan and Edward.

The three of them have already planned to meet up early morning and look for Madam Silva to sell all the Chaos stones yesterday.

As soon as Leo arrived at their agreed spot, which was at the entrance of the Sword and Magic camp, he immediately spotted Ethan, along with Edward and surprisingly also Sele, who were both clearly flirting with each other.

"Yow," Leo greeted both of them. He also turned to look at Sele as he said, "Didn't expect that you'd tag along. By the way, did Ash already inform you on what to do?"

Sele immediately stopped flirting with Edward as she fixed herself and replied, "Yes, Chief Lago and the others have already arrived in Heart City yesterday to settle down all the Eclipse troops and immediately went to Southeast Fortress afterwards. Just a while ago, I received a report that they are already in Blue Coral City going towards Heart City. So, maybe around afternoon, he would return here along with Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre."

"How about the Mischievous Lion faction? Did any of them respond to my invitation?"

"All of them responded, saying that they really want to go with you, especially Alfred as he keeps on saying that he wants to meet you and express how grateful he was when you saved his life in the past. However, they unfortunately still can't leave the Mischievous Lion Academy as it was specifically mentioned in the rules that once they enrolled in the Academy, no one would then be allowed to leave the premises of the Mischievous Lion Academy without any permission granted by the Principal, which is actually Queen Olivia herself. They explained that if they break the rules, they would immediately be expelled, and no special treatment is allowed. Although it's okay for them to get expelled, but as a result to that their help would be limited as they are all still inexperienced and weak. So, they said that they will follow you once they graduate, specifically 3 years from now." Sele finished explaining everything.

Leo nodded his head in understanding to the situation of Alfred and the members of the Mischievous Lion faction.

In the past, he would have gladly accepted such a rule without any hesitation as he understands that the meaning behind such strict management is for everyone to focus on training and learning. Unlike the Silver Mage Academy back then, that gave all their students a lot of freedom with their time on learning Magic, which in turn resulted in the weaker students becoming reliant on the powerful and hardworking students as they all just wanted to slack off.

However, right now, he no longer views the Mage Academies in the same light as in the past. For him, it's much better to experience the outside world than be restricted by the rules of Mage Academies. Of course, doing so would mean a lot of risks, such example is easily dying because of being inexperienced, or getting tricked by others into becoming their tools to benefit themselves.

It's still good to go and graduate from Mage Academies, but not on his case right now, as he already has a lot of knowledge about Magic after his memories were unsealed, and not to mention he already has a lot of experience about how the outside world works. Of course, his knowledge about Magic is not yet considered enough, but he decided in the end that he will just learn about that himself rather than through the Mage Academies. Anyways, he would definitely be meeting a lot of capable Mages soon, so he'd just asked from those people if ever he can't find answers himself.

"Then, let's go!" Leo said before leading the way.
