"I'm sorry to hear that," Leo expressed his sympathy for Orcborg's unfortunate experience. 

Although he hasn't experienced losing a wife and a daughter yet, he still understood clearly well the pain and suffering that Orcborg had probably experienced during that time. 

The loss of a family, especially when one is very closed to them, is unimaginable and an indescribable feeling that can't be compared with anything else in the Celestial World. It is no doubt one of the greatest loss that a person could ever experience in their entire lifetime.

Shaking his head while wearing a bitter expression on his face, Orcborg replied, "Honestly, I don't know for sure yet whether they are really dead or not. I was busy with my Red Fist Guild during the time the Naughty Elves organization decided to attack the Emerald Tree Kingdom. And when I finally returned home after sacrificing a lot of my men, both of them were long already missing,"

"I searched every nook and cranny of the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom and even turned almost half of the entire Emerald Forest upside down. But in the end, I still haven't found any traces of them. Even just their bodies, I found none,"

"Until this moment, I am faithfully and deeply wishing that they are still both alive, out there, somewhere that I haven't yet searched. But..." Orcborg paused to heave a heavy sigh. He then continued, "But the chances of that really being the case is as low as the chances of me seeing a Leviathan for my entire lifetime,"

Patting Orcborg's shoulder, Leo encourages, "No matter how low the chances are, a chance is still considered a chance. How about this; since the Mischievous Lion Guild would be going into many places anyways, then I'll send some of my men to search for their whereabouts in all the territories we stopped over. As soon as we found any traces of the two of them, I'll immediately send someone to report it to you,"

Orcborg's eyes instantly lit up after hearing Loki's words. He clasped both of his hands together and bowed his head by a bit to express his appreciation, then he said, "I'm really grateful for your help, Loki. Even if you still can't find them at the end, I will still owe you a favor for lending me a hand,"

"It's not really that much of an effort, I'm just doing it in the passing," Leo wanted to reject Orcborg owning him a favor.

However, Orcborg quickly shook his head after seeing Loki's reaction and said, "There is no free food in the Celestial World. If I want someone to help me, I would also have to help them in return," 

"This..." Leo wanted to say something, but Orcborg quickly interrupted him by saying, "If you still reject me, then I would take it as you calling the entire Orc race as an ungrateful bunch of people,"

Realizing that he can't seem to find any excuses to reject Orcborg anymore, Leo could only choose to helplessly accept the latter owing him a favor. 

Honestly, the exact reason why he really doesn't want Orcborg to owe him a favor was because he also intended to find his family, or to be more precise, his wife's whereabouts. 

There was only a single piece of useful information that he had gotten from Orcborg's story, which was the proof that confirmed the betrayal of the God of War. 

But fortunately, base on what Orcborg had just said, his wife seems to have been fighting against both the Asura organization and the Naughty Elves organization for a far more longer span of time compared to him. She probably knows a lot about the Asura organization, maybe even more than the majority of the entire Orc race. 

If he could find Orcborg's wife and learn from her the real and exact reason for the God of War's betrayal, then that is more than enough payment for the favor he had given him. 

Leo and Orcborg continued talking with each other in the garden for ten or so minutes more before finally returning back to the ballroom. 

Arriving at the ballroom again, Leo and Orcborg immediately spot their companions being surrounded by plenty of Nobles... No, to be more precise, it was only Cassandra and the other women, except for Sele and Ellen, who were being surrounded, while Ethan and the others, including the Blood Orc bodyguards, were doing their best to block the way. 

This kind of scene was strangely similar to how Cassandra and the others were being protected by Michael and his group of buddies from their desperate classmates at the Silver Mage Academy in the past.

"My lady, I'm Baron Simon, please let me have a dance with you!"

"I'm Baron Park, a member of a Viscount Noble Household. As long as you give me one dance, just a single dance would suffice, and I assure you that I will give you whatever you want in our territory!"

"Who cares about your mere Viscount Noble Household! I'm one of the brothers of the Heir of the Nero Noble Household, my lady. The name is Lloyd Nero. Whatever you want in the entire Nero Fortress, I will give it to you without any hesitations!" 

Just like what Leo had expected in the past; any men, including Noble Households, especially their young male members who are still so full of ambitions and desires, would no doubt flock around Cassandra and his other wives, simply because of their beautiful appearances, specifically even more beautiful compared to both Princess Tifa and Princess Tila. Additionally, with the combination of the dresses that they are wearing right now, they are like bright moons up in the sky, completely overshadowing every stars in the surrounding dark night.

"Do you need any help, Loki?" Orcborg offered to lend a hand. 

"No need," Leo shook his head. Since he finally decided to expose Cassandra and the others to everyone tonight, then it only means one thing: he is very confident that he has the capability to handle any sort of trouble that would come his way.

All of a sudden, a loud and clear command sounded throughout the entire ballroom, causing the people nearby the source of sound to turn around and look behind them.

"Suppress them!" 

In the next moment, five different powerful Magic Power burst out from the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild. Following after was different other considerably powerful Magic Powers.

That wasn't yet the end, because Orcborg's Blood Orc bodyguards, apparently assumed that was a sign for something, so they also started releasing their Magic Power as well, specifically all of them were 8-Star level Battle Mages. 

Sensing the dozens of different powerful Magic Powers, the Nobles who were flocking around the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild quickly retreated away in fear of getting injured, or worst, get killed. 

"Impossible..." 

Those Noble's expressions instantly showed the looked of complete disbelief in their faces.

Of course, these Nobles were long already aware of the information about the Mischievous Lion Guild having five powerful individuals, one was a Galaxy-level Mage, while the other four has 9-Star level cultivation. What they just didn't expect was those people would actually turn out to be these people right in front of them. This was mainly because they haven't seen their actual appearances yet, rather they only know their names.

From the very beginning, they all just simply thought that these people blocking in front of them were merely bodyguards or something similar to such kind of status. Never in their wildest imaginations have they expected that they are actually people they can't afford to offend. Even the forces behind them wouldn't just casually dare to offend these people without any proper reasons, which obviously exclude because of a mere bunch of beautiful women.

What was even more shocking to them was the fact that two of the women that they were trying to make a move just now would actually turned out to be two of the four individuals with the 9-Star level cultivation. 

Just how daring were they just now to actually try their luck on such powerful people?! They can't even be compared to a mere pinky of theirs, let alone have the right to ask them for a dance!

All of a sudden, their thoughts were quickly interrupted by a series of loud sound of footsteps ringing inside all of their ears as it slowly approaches closer and closer behind them. 

With frightful expressions on each of their faces, they nervously turned to look behind them and soon saw a familiar young man, with a fierce and cold look on his face, staring straight towards them.

As expected, it was the young Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild, Loki!

As if there was a powerful force pushing their bodies backward, they all parted together to make a sizeable path for Loki, which allowed him to continue walking straight towards the location of Cassandra and the others without any sort of hindrances. 

Before Loki could arrive, Cassandra swiftly pulled a chair nearby and put it in front of them. Everyone also quickly positioned themselves behind the chair depending on each of their statuses in the Mischievous Lion Guild.

The moment Leo arrived, he right after sat on the chair facing towards everyone and crossed one of his legs to the other. His lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile as he questioned those daring Nobles, "Who gives all of you the courage to dare touch my wives?!"
