The Smiling Lion street soon after became boisterous as numerous customers began haggling with the shop owners and the shop owners shouting for more customers to be attracted to their own stand.

What the majority of the people don't know though, while they are busy with that, numerous fights were actually happening.

A member of the Sword and Magic that wants to quickly escape the place after noticing how dire the situation had already turned out to be, was suddenly stabbed by a woman in the heart while walking and his body was now being hugged by that woman to not attract any unwanted attention.

Another member of the Sword and Magic who was using the roofs to escape was immediately surrounded by ten people before getting kicked off the roof, and his dead body was soon after caught before reaching the ground.

A dozen of members of the Sword and Magic that want to transfer to another residential house to discuss with the other members inside about what to do next was immediately ambushed the moment they all got inside.

Similar situations were happening, and almost all of it was about the Sword and Magic members getting killed.

In the beginning, it was the Sword and Magic who has the advantage because the Mischievous Lion organization was the one in need to adapt to the changes. But right now, the initiative has already been taken away by the Mischievous Lion organization, hence it was now the Sword and Magic that needed to adapt to the new changes. However, with how fast things were going on right now, would they even be able to successfully adapt before all of them die?

No matter how skilled and well trained the Sword and Magic members were, they were in the territory of the Mischievous Lion organization. Additionally, they have already fallen into Leo's trap, therefore they were now put into a very disadvantageous position.

All of those people that want to escape or were doing suspicious moves, even if they are not members of the Sword and Magic but rather were just some passerby, they were still immediately eliminated as silently as possible, even those people who have witnessed their deaths were pulled into the mess.

This was just how the dance of the dark that Leo had mentioned works. Two sides dancing in the dark, obviously unaware of their surroundings, so whoever they hit while dancing would only have the fate of death.

.....

Meanwhile, inside the manor, Leo and the others finally heard the Sword and Magic members breaking in the windows of the 2nd and 3rd floor of the manor. They don't even care anymore whether they would get found out or not, as the only thing they care about right now was to complete their mission.

Leo quickly signaled everyone to get inside the study room to hide as he quickly closed the door. They also did the same thing to the meeting room but the inside right now were a bunch of explosives.

"Where are they?"

"Our report said that our target is inside the study room, but there are also people hidden inside the meeting room."

"Then what are we waiting for, eliminate the people inside the meeting room first in case of causing us any trouble!"

"Okay!"

*Cring...

"Sir, I see no one-"

Before that person was able to report, the meeting room suddenly exploded.

*BOOOOOM!

"F*ck, it's a trap! Go to the study room to get our target!"

*Cring...

However, the moment everyone got inside, they found no one aside from a bomb with its lead lit on.

"Hide!!"

*BOOOOOOM!

At this moment, Leo and the others have already quickly escaped the study room and were now running towards a nearby residential house. Since the study room was just located on the first floor, going through the window doesn't post them any problems at all.

Although the Sword and Magic could have attacked them through the window of the study room, but due to the nature of their mission right now, specifically to secretly capture Leo, they can only choose to do it in a hard way.

"Leo, where are we going next?" Charlotte, who was not informed of what to do next after escaping from the manor asked.

"Have you noticed their cultivation?" Leo asked.

"Yes, they are a combination 2 Star to 4 Star in level. With their leader being a 6 Star." Charlotte quickly replied.

"Then hide and eliminate them one by one." Leo said.

"Okay!" Charlotte said, feeling excited. Of course, with those people's cultivation, they wouldn't be able to easily defeat her. In fact, as a Battle Mage and a user of Twin Daggers, she works best within this dark place as she can slowly cherry-pick them.

"Number One to Number Ten, you know what to do, spread out!" Leo soon after ordered.

Without any further questions, Number One to Number Ten quickly spread out towards the other residential houses where Libra's Police were known to still be hiding at. Well, those houses were basically open while members of the Libra's Police were motioning them to get inside, that's why it was easy to find which house to get inside.

Suddenly, 5 members of the Sword and Magic appeared to block Leo, Princess Elaine, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice path.

"Come with us, Leo!"

Just like what Leo had expected, he was indeed their target. And for them not to kill him immediately and had instead asked him to come with them, it was safe to assume that they want to use him as a bargaining chip.

Unfortunately,

*Shing! *Shing! *Shing! *Shing! *Shing!

Five people from the Scheming Shadows department appeared behind them, immediately slitting their throats one by one.

"Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice be sure to guard the three of them." Leo reminded.

"Yes!" Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice nodded in response.

"And the five of you, guard them with your life too, or rather since the bunch of you are not known to be good in guarding people then just eliminate anyone that post a threat to them." Leo immediately ordered the five people from the Scheming Shadows.

*Swoooosh! *Swooosh!

With only him remaining after everyone was positioned in their places, Leo finally doesn't have anything anymore that holds him back.

Putting his hand up in front, Leo quickly began summoning 5 Fire Elementals.

"Burn down the manor!"

The Fire Elementals seemingly nodded their heads before quickly shooting a barrage of fireballs straight towards the manor.

*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!

*Booom! *Booom! *Booom! *Booom!

With fireballs thrown repeatedly and seemingly inexhaustible, the manor was quickly covered in flames, immediately burning or suffocating the Sword and Magic members who still weren't able to get outside.

The burning manor also pushed those people after him to get far from the manor which would immediately lead them to where Charlotte was waiting at.

After burning the manor down, Leo quickly unsummoned 3 Fire Elementals and replacing them with 4 Earth Elementals and 4 Wind Elementals.

The remaining Fire Elemental began shooting up in front of him, the Earth Elemental putting up earth walls behind him, and the Wind Elementals spread all over the place to look for any Sword and Magic members hiding around.

"Shoot, 12 o'clock!"

*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!

*Booom! *Booom! *Booom!

The residential house located at 12 o'clock was immediately shot down with a barrage of fireballs from the Fire Elemental, quickly causing it to burn down and also pushing out the Sword and Magic members outside.

"Get him!"

Unfortunately, the moment they revealed themselves to Leo, a combination of Magic spells and weapons began shooting towards them from the houses where Number One to Number Ten were at along with the Libra's Police.

"Argh!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Noooo!"

Leo also added furthermore to their suffering by ordering one of the nearby Wind Elemental to push down the burning house towards them using Wind Manipulation.

*Booooom!

"Further to our 9 o'clock!"

*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!

*Booom! *Booom! *Booom!

Another batch of Sword and Magic members were pushed out of their hiding spots, but since they were located just behind Charlotte, there was no need for the same attack as she quickly handles them herself.

*Shing! *Shing! *Shing!

In no time, all of them were soon after killed.

After doing that, Charlotte quickly went beside Leo. There were no longer any targets remaining for her, so she decided to wait for Leo to reveal their location.

"The building to our 2 o'clock!"

*Whoosh! *Whooosh! *Whoosh! *Whooosh!

Even before the Fire Elemental could shoot out a barrage of fireballs, Charlotte already vanished and appeared in front, waiting for the building to burn down and push the Sword and Magic members out.

*Booom! *Booom! *Booom! *Booom!

The Sword and Magic members were one by one killed by Charlotte before she returned back beside Leo as she already finished all of them.

"Damn, if only I knew this would happen, I would have to assign Number One to Number Ten a different job." Leo can't help commenting.

"This Six Headed Snake Twin Daggers is the reason why I'm able to easily kill them." Charlotte said with a toss of the Twin Dagger to the air and quickly caching it.

"Since we are already done with this, let's meet up with the others!" Leo said before motioning for Charlotte to follow after him as he moved to where the barricade of Mischievous Lion members was located at.

The moment the manor's meeting room was blown to smithereens, the Gemini Dagger group, Claw of Cancer group, and Aries Weapons group quickly took the task to barricade the entire place, blocking the escape route of the Sword and Magic and at the same time not letting more uninvolved people to be pulled into the mess. They have already killed bystanders who have witnessed them killing the Sword and Magic more than their hands could count, and they of course can't keep on killing them any more than that, as it might ruin the image of the Capital of the Underground World. Although that would actually be advantageous for them, since it would incite a hoard of anger and displeasure towards the Sword and Magic, they wouldn't risk having this double-edged sword deeper into their body as it might cause them some unimaginable feedbacks as well, such as them also receiving a portion of the hoard of hate and displeasure.

Moments later, Leo along with Charlotte, Number One to Number Ten, the remaining Libra's Police hiding nearby, finally saw the others nearby the barricade. Princess Elaine, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice were also over there looking at them.

"Leo, it's really great to see that you're safe!" Gretchen said worryingly. But her attention was immediately attracted to the Elementals beside Leo, "By the way, are those yours?"

"Let's talk about that later, first let's kill all of this Sword and Magic members remaining inside." Leo quickly changed the topic. He wasn't really hoping to evade this topic, but since they have something even more important right now, they obviously need to handle it first.

"Okay, I'll ask you later!" Gretchen replied to Leo before quickly turning to look at Haze, Glaze, and the people of Claw of Cancer group, "Eliminate any Sword and Magic members inside!"

Without wasting any more time, the Mischievous Lion organization quickly charged inside.
