Chapter 195: Training in Twilight Forest part 14 (1/2)

As soon as Leo heard Ash's question, asking him how he will give them a safe sanctuary, his mouth can't help forming a mischievous smile before he replied, ”I'm a City Lord, so how hard could it be for me to give your entire Eclipse village a safe sanctuary? I control my entire city, so anything I say is what should be followed by my citizens!”

*Bang!

”Ridiculous!” Sebastian immediately smacks the table in front of him with his hand as soon as he heard Leo saying that he's a City Lord. If this young man can indeed be a City Lord, then why doesn't he just become a King of a Kingdom, right? In short, it's ridiculously unbelievable!

”Lies! You see that that's an obvious lie! Just like what I expected, this young man is just playing with us! I shouldn't have come here and instead focused on dealing with our logistics.” Sele added as she shook her head in disappointment. Their operation right now heavily relied on the Elephant Division, since it's the Division in-charged of logistics. They were the ones who need to keep on transferring the Magical resources they have stolen from the cave of the Twilight Bears to their 5 Divisions camp. However, due to this meeting, the operation was expected to slow down. So, in her opinion, being here right now is nothing but a waste of time.

At the side, Dan and old man Torre can't help but be dumbfounded at what Leo had just said. It was really out of both of their expectations that Leo would actually persuade them using such a way. If Leo had used a different means, then he could have at least fool them, which would also give them something to work with. However, now that Leo had already said his words, which he can't take back anymore, they don't have any choices anymore but to also agree with Sebastian and Dan.

”Unfortunately, I also agree with what Sebastian and Sele had said. This conversation will get us nowhere, so it's much better to end it right now. We still have so much to do, and our operation right now is very crucial for the Eclipse village!” Dan said as he shook his head. He really expected something great from Leo, since he had earned 30% of Sky's approval, unfortunately, there was actually nothing great about him.

”Sorry, young man, if only you have used a different means, then you could have fooled us or something similar.” Old man Torre added.

Hearing them ridiculing him, Leo just shrugged off his shoulder as he pointed at Ash sitting up above the 4 Division's leader.

Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre also followed after what Leo had pointed at, and what they saw immediately rendered them speechless.

Ash, their leader, was actually staring with wide eyes straight towards Leo's position. It was like she saw something really unbelievable about him.

”Ash?” Dan quickly called out Ash's name to pull her out of her thoughts.

”Oh, yes?” Ash quickly fixed herself as she turned to look at everyone, ”What's the problem?”

”You were staring at something seemingly in great shock!” Sebastian replied, which Sele and old man Torre nodded in agreement to support Sebastian's claim.

Ash embarrassingly scratched her cheeks as she then replied, ”You see, what Leo had just said moments ago, it was actually not a lie...”

”WHATTTT?!” Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre exclaimed in unison.

”I was using the Mana of Truth spell ever since I have met Leo, which makes me 100% believe that what he had just said wasn't any sort of lie. He is indeed a City Lord, as to how was he able to become a City Lord, I, unfortunately, don't know.” Ash explained.

Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre slowly turned to look at Leo who was still wearing the same mischievous smile on his face.

They finally realized something...

They have actually noticed this from the very beginning, Leo was always wearing the look of a person who was full of confidence.

At first, they all just ignored it thinking that this young man looked down on them since they lived in a Danger zone, and on top of that too, they are only a part of a struggling and poor meager village, completely different from the boisterous, magnificent, and rich cities of Silver Kingdom.

Any person would most of the time feel that way, too. And they are already so used to that since that's the same look they have to get every time they meet some traveling merchants or adventurer unexpectedly passing by their 5 Division's camp.
