Chapter 237: The Underground World under the Lion Heart city (1/2)

”Let's meet up with one of the 12 Zodiacs and then we will settle in my house afterwards to rest for the day,” Leo said before walking towards the clock tower in the middle of the Lion Heart city.

”What, you have a house in this place?” Brad excitedly asked.

”As a member of the 12 Zodiacs, it's only reasonable for me to have a house here.” Leo replied.

”Is it easy to get a house here for the likes of us though, considering that the people living in this city are members of the Mischievous Lion organization and the people they have saved?” Princess Elaine can't help asking, ”I'm considering to have a place to stay in this city, it's not only peaceful and lively in here, but it's also surrounded by beautiful nature and scenery.”

”That would be hard, right?” Charlotte joined in, ”Especially since you don't want this place to be discovered by other people.”

”But if ever they won the war, this place shouldn't remain hidden from the outside world anymore. Am I right, Leo?” Princess Elaine argued back while looking at Leo.

”Basing on my Master's character, your expectations would most likely not be meet.” Leo shook his head out of helplessness, but he suddenly nodded his head, seemingly able to think of a good idea, ”Though, it should still be possible for you to buy a land in this city. After all, you're basically the Princess of the Blue Fin Kingdom. So, if the discussion about the alliance would be agreed upon by my Master Olivia and your mother the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom, then you should also be granted such rights to buy a land here afterwards.”

”Oh, that's indeed feasible!” Princess Elaine's eyes lit up in delight.

”How about us, Leo?” Venice can't help joining in, too. After entering this city, she quickly noticed that the people looking at them didn't show any sort of discrimination, racism, and the likes of them being Hybrids at all, but rather they were only showing the look of curiosity. Although it can also be attributed to them being with Leo, but for their eyes not to even show anything aside from curiosity, then it should only be because they don't care about whatever race they are.

”Considering your my men now, then you can simply stay in my place. However, it's still much better for you to stay in Heart city, in such a way I can easily take care of any problems, unlike here where you will have to take care of yourselves. Not to mention, that place is entirely owned by me, so there are almost no restrictions for all of you, of course aside from the rules and laws of my Heart city.” Leo replied.

”I guess I will be able to train here anytime I want, right?” Charlotte asked with expectations in her eyes. Truth be told, those training she had seen so far really made her blood boil of wanting to try them, especially that Death's Cage. No matter what her cultivation is right now, that Death's Cage would still be life-threatening for her, so she wants to try and experience it.

”Oh, you're interested with the training here, too?” Jasmine quickly approached Charlotte and asked.

”Yes, do you also want to try it?”

”Let's try it together?”

”Okay!”

”We also want to try them!” Number One joined in.

”Me, too!”

”Me, three!”

”.....”

Walking in front of everyone, Leo can't help forming a smile on his face while watching them treating things as happily as that. In his case though, he can no longer feel as happily as that, especially after seeing once again the thousands of people he had killed when he was still young.

Noticing Leo's genuine smile for the first time, really unlike the mischievous smile he usually wore, Princess Elaine suddenly asked, ”Is such a scene making you remember some happy memories in your past?”

”Nah, I'm just happy that they are also happy.” Leo replied, but deep in his mind, he wanted to say 'Such emotion is considered as a blessing for me, that's why I'm happy'.

Moments later, Leo and the others finally arrive in front of the clock tower.

The clock tower wasn't really big, it was only 10 square meters big and maybe 50 to 100 meters high. Around this clock tower were counters with people inside assigned for accepting people who desired to enter the Underground World under the Lion Heart city.

However, unlike any other entrances, only people with the Mischievous Lion organization token can get access to this entrance.

Leo carefully took out a gold token with a smiling lion symbol from the Storage Ring before passing it on a counter.

”Your excellency, Leo Heart, allow me to welcome you back to Lion Heart city!” The female assistant inside the counter welcomed while returning the golden token to Leo.

”Thanks!” Leo said before turning around to look at the fountain located just right beside them.
