Chapter 628 - Are You? (1/2)

Leonel used what remained of his Wind Domain's momentum to blow the white tarp away, leaving behind what looked like a garage yard of scrap metal and splintered wood.

Nigmir was finally caught by one of the Valiant Hall members and now many were looking toward Sael to figure out what to do. But, the young woman suddenly felt stifled.

She had come here after receiving reports on what happened to Gersan, but the investigation led to a matter she had no idea how to deal with especially since Leonel was involved. To make matters worse, while her own prestige and that of Valiant Hall was on the line, Leonel had completely turned his back to them as though they were worth nothing in his eyes.

Sael grit her teeth. ”Help the others!”

The Valiant Hall squad members looked at her in confusion. Were they really not apprehending this brat? What was going on here?

”Can't you see how many of them are buried beneath a pile of rubble?! Are you going to take responsibility when they all die?!”

Sael held onto her final lifeline. It was only then that those around remembered that Cormus and Ardryn had been buried beneath a pillar of Earth, their life and death completely unknown. They had almost forgot how terrible this matter could become.

Leonel found what he was looking for and pulled up a beast skin map. He had seen through the flap opening earlier… Obviously, this had happened before he sent one of the Peace Keepers flying. But with Leonel's memory, that split moment was all he needed.

He spread the map out with his hands, scanning through it. As expected, there were no small number of mines marked on this. The territories of the King of Ores faction, along with their competitors, were all marked out.

Of course, Leonel knew that the most valuable mines were most definitely not marked on this map. Sarrieth's caution was made obvious by the fact he didn't let anyone know which mine he was travelling to. However, even still, there were more than 20 mines marked here alone.

Leonel memorized the map with a single look then incinerated it. As for whether the King of Ores faction needed it or not? Who cared?

After he was done with that, Leonel flicked a finger.

At that moment, a large swath of Ores shot up.

With a single look, Leonel could tell that all of this wouldn't fit in his spatial ring which had shrunken in size considerably since coming to this world. And, it definitely wouldn't be convenient for him to carry it around like this.

Unfortunately, Leonel had left the Segmented cube with Aina. And, since she hadn't reacted to all of this, in all likelihood, she had her head down, training, just like Leonel had for the past half month. In fact, if it wasn't because his Mage Arts had shattered during his breakthrough and he had happened to hear Thetris' voice, Leonel likely wouldn't even be here.

Leonel could use a few of the snowglobes he had kept in store for himself just in case he would have need of them. But... He decided on doing something different after a moment of thought.

Leonel's gaze shifted and it happened to land on Kaela.

”You want these?”

Kaela was startled. ”I…”

Leonel's hand spread out. A portion of the Ores went to Kaela while the rest spread out to the merchants who had gotten caught up in the battle.

In an instant, a small fortune's worth of Ores was given out for free.
