The next morning, Leo woke up from his really beautiful dream, or should he treat it as a dream? If that was indeed a dream, then he half-wished to never wake up from it ever again.

In his dream, he had actually celebrated his birthday with his parents and older brother along with his newfound friends and companions.

After 10 years of relentless investigation, an unexpected day had actually come where he had shockingly discovered that his parents and older brother were actually still alive, which then allowed him to celebrate a joyous occasion and his life turned seemingly complete.

Quickly, though, Leo shook his head to dismiss such thoughts from his mind.

Last night, he had already fully accepted the fact that his parents and older brother were already dead and that there is no chance for them to come back ever again.

However, despite that, things don't seem to look that bad anymore.

He had already found himself some new people to call as his family. This time, he swore to do everything to protect them. He will not allow what had happened in the past to happen again in his present life, or even his future.

Slowly getting off from his bed, Leo soon after went to the bathroom to take a bath. After doing all of his morning routines, he then opened his door afterwards to go downstairs to eat his breakfast.

"Ha? What is this?" Leo said as he nearly stepped on 3 delicately wrapped presents. It was obvious that it came from the 3 missing women from yesterday, specifically Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica.

Leo can't help but let out a chuckle as he went to take the 3 presents from the front of his door, putting them above on his table along with his Master's present, which then seemingly showed an ugly duckling in a group of beautiful swam.

After putting the present on his table, Leo then returned to his main purpose of going downstairs to eat his breakfast.

Arriving downstairs, there was no presence of the 4 girls at all. Their room upstairs was also open and empty too, which made Leo thought that they definitely have gone out really early in the morning to go and complete the mission today, and they seem to be in a rush, too.

Well, the 4 girls haven't done any mission this week yet, so it's pretty natural for them to go out early to quickly cover their obvious lack of responsibility.

Since the 4 girls were already on a mission, Leo's only choice now was to go and complete missions alone, again.

After finishing his breakfast, Leo quickly went to Sword and Magic.

"Yow!" Evangelion greeted the moment Leo came inside the study room of Sword and Magic.

"Did the 4 girls went here to choose a mission?" Leo can't help but ask.

"Hahaha, they indeed arrived here very early. I guess they were rushing for something, right?" Evangelion replied.

"Well, they haven't completed any missions yet this week despite being the main force of my faction, so they are in a rush to complete some." Leo said as he let out a chuckle.

"Oh, that's a shame for them! The main force should be the main driving force of a faction, not a bunch of pigs to be raised by the other members." Evangelion explained.

Hearing Evangelion's calling the 4 girls a bunch of pigs, Leo can't help but let out a chuckle. Using that term to describe them wasn't really the right word. They were only unable to do any missions this week for the moment because they were busy doing something else, specifically resting and surprising him.

"By the way, what kind of mission would you like to choose today?" Evangelion quickly changed the topic.

"Oh, I'm actually not here to choose a mission, but instead to ask you a question..." Leo said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Leo was not here to complete a mission, since he had already completed one yesterday. It wasn't because he was feeling a bit of laziness, or he just wanted to leave the grinding to the 4 girls since he had already done his part already. But actually to stay low-key.

Yesterday, he had already destroyed one of the Black organization's secret operations. So, he immediately assumed that the Black organization would either be on high alert this time around or setting up a trap for him.

Well, it wasn't really a problem anyway. Whichever choice they choose.

If the Black organization was on a high alert, then they would not be going to go to the South Sewer Management this time. With an assassin around targeting them, then that obviously only meant that someone powerful was already paying close attention to their movements. So, with now a certain someone paying close attention towards their movements, surely that certain someone would also do something to prevent them from doing anything else anymore.

Hence, if the Black organization makes a move, there would be a high chance that they would meet the men of that certain someone, they might even fall into a trap.

So, going there himself would have no use, since he can't take away the 12 large Mana for himself easily.

And if the Black organization had thought about that but didn't feel afraid, then they would still go to the South Sewer Management. Not because they wanted to complete the last remaining operation about the Silver city sewers, but instead to set up a trap to the assassin which they still don't know was actually Leo.

With an assassin around, their operation would obviously always be disrupted. They can actually just simply kill that assassin, but who knows if that certain someone, who they assumed had hired that assassin, would actually just simply send in another one, and hence disrupting their operation once again. So, the only reason why they set up a trap for that assassin was in order for them to ask for information about the employer, that is, if they successfully caught that assassin.

With that, it just further adds to the reason why he should not go to the South Sewer Management this time.

There is actually another option. The Black organization is doing an investigation today to investigate for any traces the assassin had left behind, personally.

Leo was still not worried about that, since he wasn't that stupid to leave easily to find traces that will lead to him. He might have gone to the North Sewer Management, hence his name being in their logbook was one of the traces to get himself suspected. But he had actually left traces of him in another faraway place from the cave, so they would surely not suspect of him being that assassin.

To be honest, before Leo had really gone to the Vice-Head of the North Sewer Management to hand over the Magical Beast he had hunted, he had first covered up his traces being nearby around the cave.

It wasn't hard to do it. With his years of being an assassin, he was quick to know how to hide his traces in such a situation.

With his name in the logbook, the only way for him to cover up his traces was by simply creating another trace.

If he wasn't really the assassin, then he would have surely been doing something else while in the north sewer, right?

If Leo had registered his name in the North Sewer Management, yet there were no traces of him being in any places in the north sewer, then he would automatically be suspected to be that assassin.

Who on Celestial World would be so stupid not to even see clearly that someone just went and register their name in the logbook of the North Sewer Management with the sole reason of completing a mission, yet no signs of completing any kind of mission being found around the north sewer? If Leo wasn't that assassin, then why weren't there any traces of him completing any mission in the north sewer?

Even a blind person could already see that Leo was the assassin with such solid evidence being around.

Unfortunately, though, Leo had done once again the same thing he had done back in the East Sewer Management. He again did something that would remove him from the suspect list easily just by simply providing 'I'm indeed around but definitely not related to you' kind of evidence.

In the East Sewer Management, he had successfully stolen the Black organization's 12 pieces of large Mana stones by simply harvesting the other people's crops. Though there were no traces of him doing something around the east sewer despite being in the East Sewer Management, he was still able to successfully removed himself from the suspect list of stealing the large Mana stones just by simply providing evidence of selling all the stuff he had brought along with him, which then became his alibi that he didn't have any of the large Mana stones since there weren't any signs or record of him selling any despite going straight to the Sword and Magic after leaving the East Sewer Management. Too bad, the Black organization informant in Sword and Magic wasn't of high rank, so that person wasn't able to get any useful information about Leo.

The Black organization didn't really remove Leo from the suspect list, since the list of records wasn't solid evidence to prove his innocence yet. But they had definitely moved him away to the very bottom of the list, since there was only a small chance for him to really be the thief.

Also, they hadn't actually seriously injured the 1 Star Magical Beast guarding the cave on the exact same day as Leo going in his mission, so the other students who had gone to the East Sewer Management could also be considered as the suspect, even the staffs themselves could also be a suspect, too.

Moreover, looking for traces in the sewer was really hard to find because all the missions related to such places were either cleaning the trashes or cleaning the Magical Beast which in both cases simply means the students involved in completing the mission was cleaning, obviously that might include cleaning the evidence.

This time though, in the North Sewer Management, there was solid evidence of Leo completing a mission around the north sewer, specifically some traces of Magical Beast blood that he 'purposely' didn't completely clean, and some part of the Magical Beast bodies that he had naturally taken from the cave. Those traces will definitely give the Black organization the impression that he might have been in the north sewer, but what he was doing doesn't have any sort of relationship or connection with what they were doing.

In conclusion, it was really hard for the Black organization to prove Leo as being that assassin. They also couldn't just abduct him, torture him, and kill him afterwards, either, since a Noble getting killed or even just being missing for a long time, especially a ruler of a city like Leo, was a really big case, which would surely be traced back towards them and hence their plan would be revealed. So, they could only abandon that sort of plan.

"Staying low-key is a must!" Leo thought to himself.
