At this moment, Leo has already returned to his chair before Angel could turn around. His distance and her distance moments ago were just as good as 10 meters or so, so it would highly likely only take her 5 to 7 steps to see his silhouette behind the pillar if he doesn't get away from it. 

"Where did you go?" Cassandra asked the moment she saw Leo returned to his chair. They were just fighting a while ago, yet Leo has already vanished. She tried looking around with her eyes, but she really didn't see him. And now that he has returned, she can't help feeling curious about it.

"I just went to get some fresh air. It really feels so stuffed in this place," Leo replied with a smile on his face. Of course, he wouldn't just tell them the truth that he went to eavesdrop on Angel. With them almost treating each other as sisters, specifically Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica, they would most likely share their findings with one another, especially when this information is about him. 

"Indeed, I also feel weird while sitting in this place. I don't know why, but something feels off with the air around us." Elizabeth agreed with Leo. She had already noticed this a while ago, but had only thought that it might be because she drank a few mouthfuls of a cocktail. 

"Oh, I really thought that I was only drunk, and this feeling was just a sense of dizziness or something." Ash quickly added. 

Charlotte slowly put down her glass on the table as she said, "That is only natural. The moment Mages or Magical Knights breakthrough into 5 Star level, the Mana around their surrounding will always be attracted to their body, hence causing a lack of enough Mana supply from those locations. Though that is fine for the ordinary people, but to us Mages who always rely on Mana, it makes us feel uncomfortable." She paused as she pointed at the people around them, "If one can already cause a lack of enough Mana supply, not to mention dozens of them, right? Additionally, almost all of them are within the range of 7 Star to Galaxy level."

"Oh..." Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Ash all nodded in understanding. So what they're feeling right now is actually the feeling of uncomfortable due to having not enough supply of Mana around them. 

Leo doesn't know whether to laugh or not while listening to their conversation. He really didn't expect that his lie would easily become full proof. 

Suddenly, Angel returned with the same cold look on her beautiful face. 

"Where have you been?" Cassandra curiously asked Angel who was pulling her chair to sit. 

"Hmph! Now that I see her return, she must have had a private conversation with Leo a while ago. Both of them had suddenly disappeared. Let me guess, one of them returned earlier before being followed after the latter in order to avoid suspicion?" Elizabeth said as she pouted her lips, a little bit jealous. 

"Leo?" Angel turned to look at Leo, caution was written all over her face. 

Cassandra, Ash, and Charlotte also followed. 

Seeing this, Leo took a sip of his champagne, seemingly nonchalant about this before slowly putting it back on the table. He then turned to look at everyone as he said, "Don't start assuming some random things without any proof. First of all, I don't even know where she had gone to. Second, what kind of conversation can I even make with her cold character? Lastly, though, it is indeed still possible for both of us to hold a conversation with each other, but what kind of topic would we talk about?"

Cassandra and Elizabeth both nodded their heads in agreement. Even before, when they are talking about something, Angel would normally only reply with short sentences, and there are even a few times when she would only nod or shake her head in reply. 

"Don't know, maybe about romance or something!" Ash rolled her eyes, obviously not buying Leo's excuse. 

"Let's not lie with each other. As a fellow woman, we would know immediately if another woman is also interested in our man. It's like a natural instinct for us. So, it's definitely possible for her to talk romance-related stuff with Leo. Just tell us the truth, we won't be mad with that because it's already clear for all of our eyes to see that practically everyone present at this table is interested in being together with Leo." Charlotte quickly supported Ash's claim. 

"That..." Cassandra who already believed Leo's words moments ago immediately started doubting it. What Charlotte had said was indeed possible, because even though Angel has this kind of cold character, she is still a woman nonetheless. 

"Hahahaha, are you both stupid? It is indeed possible for Angel to do that, but with her character, do you think she would care if people are watching her or not when she desires to confess to Leo her feelings? She might just sudden-"

"I indeed like Leo." Angel cut off Elizabeth in mid-sentence before taking a sip off of her champagne, showing to everyone how calm she was.

Elizabeth was immediately dumbfounded as she turned to look at Angel, "You really did exactly what I want to say you would do?"

"What's wrong with that? Do you really think I would get some kind of advantage if I try to tell Leo that I like him in secret?" Angel replied, completely nonchalant about it. 

"....." Even Ash was in complete surprise with Angel bluntly telling that she likes Leo in front of everyone. If it was her, she would definitely not be able to do that. 

"Oh, then I definitely misunderstood her character right from the very moment I first saw her, HAHAHAHA! You're really good, I have only met a few courageous women in my entire lifetime, and you are one of them. I will also like to say that, I similarly like Leo in the same way as to how Angel feels about him." Charlotte said. She doesn't really know when it had started, she just found out one day that Leo is an interesting man, especially in every moment when he's serious. So, as straightforward as her personality, she didn't hesitate to desire that she want to become Leo's woman.

"You..." Ash muttered in disbelief while looking at Charlotte at her side. Is this woman crazy or something? She shouldn't just bluntly say such a thing, right? Confessing to a man is an embarrassing thing to do.

Hearing Angel and Charlotte's confession, Elizabeth suddenly shrugged her shoulders off before she pulled one of Leo's hand towards her and said, "Unfortunately for all of you here, I'm Leo's fiancée. But of course, with how capable my man is, it is just right for him to have many concubines, right, Darling?"

"What fiancée? Leo doesn't even remember you!" Cassandra also pulled Leo's other hand towards her, "And because he doesn't have any sort of memory about you, then I'm technically the first woman he has in his life, of course except for his mother and a few friends and others that we can't consider as having any sort of romantic interest with him, which obviously meant I would be the main wife!" 

"No, I would be the main wife!" Elizabeth pulled Leo's hand. 

"Dream on!" Cassandra pulled. 

Suddenly, Leo's entire body was pulled towards two peaks. Who else would be so brazen like that aside from Charlotte? 

"Hmph! As long as I'm still the most powerful amongst all of you present here, then I would be the main wife!" Charlotte said while locking Leo with her hug. 

"Shameless old witch!" Both Cassandra and Elizabeth exclaimed loudly while pointing their hands at Charlotte. 

"Old... old wit... witch... Did you just called me an old witch?" Charlotte said as a burning fury of anger was easily seen in her eyes. 

"Yes, we called you an old witch! Come, bite us!" Cassandra taunted. 

"Don't think so highly of yourself just because you are in the 9 Star level. Once my father comes here, you will see that someone like you are only as good as maids in our Noble Household!" Elizabeth loudly said. 

Suddenly, without anyone noticing, a White Fox race woman went to jump in front of Leo.

"Noooo!" Ash exclaimed before she suddenly pulled Leo away from Charlotte's breast, "He's mine!!" 

Seeing this, obviously, Charlotte wouldn't just let it go, hence she pulled Leo back, "What is a Beastman joining here for? Go and choose from those males that looked like a female from your Fox race!" 

"He's mine!" Cassandra suddenly pulled Leo towards her breast while Charlotte was speaking. 

"No, his mine!!" Elizabeth pulled Leo from Cassandra before shoving him straight to her breast. 

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!��

"Mineeee!"

At the side, Angel was simply taking a sip of her champagne, totally enjoying the show of Leo being passed on from one breast Ehem! from one place to another, "That's what you get from eavesdropping my conversation with my Master Silva!" 

Unbeknownst to Leo, Angel was completely aware of the fact that Leo had hidden behind the pillar and eavesdropped on her. 

Right this moment, everyone's attention was now attracted towards Leo, especially the men. They were all showing all sorts of different reactions while watching the scene. 

For the men, they were feeling envious and jealous of Leo. After all, being fought over by a bunch of beautiful women was their lifelong dream. 

On the other hand, some women were feeling disgusted by Leo since his being so lecherous for having a lot of women in his romantic life, while some others were feeling interested in him because in their opinions for a man to be fought over by woman, especially beautiful woman, only means they are really capable enough to sweep them over their feet.

"I've never thought our junior brother would be this popular to woman," George commented while interestingly watching Leo. 

"Ahhh, I'm so jealoussssss!!" Charles exclaimed in jealousy.

"Gretchen, has Leo always been a lecherous person?" Margaret can't help asking Gretchen by her side. 

"Of course not! He's always been a loner ever since we meet him. Although he leads the Smiling Lion group, most of the time he still works alone." Gretchen said before turning to look at the others from the 12 Zodiacs, "Right?"

"Indeed!"

"I agree with that!"

"In fact, this is my first time seeing him being treated like this!"

"....."

Over the table of Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain, they were also currently watching Leo. 

"Never thought your disciple would be so popular with the woman, hahaha!" Queen Maria said with a chuckle. 

"Hahaha, of course, he would! Even his older brother was also popular with women when I first meet him." Queen Olivia proudly proclaimed. 

"Oh, then you must be the same as those women fighting over Leo, right?" Madam Silva can't help asking. 

"With my strength, do you really think that there would be another woman that would try to take Leo's older brother away from me?" Queen Olivia replied while cracking her knuckles. 

"Interesting..." Elder Rain said. But, behind the mask, he was currently sweating as he can't help remembering the times when he was beaten up every time some other girls try to flirt with him. Even though he wasn't flirting back, he would still get beaten up by Queen Olivia. 

"Now I'm really worried about my daughter's life once she joins Leo's harem." Queen Maria helplessly shook her head. Though she was worried, she actually can't do anything anymore because a red string of Fate has now connected to one of her daughters when she proposed the idea of Leo marrying one of them. It was really astonishing, and she can't wait to investigate further more about this strange thing. 

"Don't worry, Leo would definitely not treat anyone differently." Queen Olivia consoled. 

"I hope so..." 

Meanwhile, Leo, who was the main character of everyone's topic was crying inwardly. Although it was good to be pass on from one breast to another, that was only for the other men. For him, this situation was troublesome, or rather the epitome of troublesome.

"Women are really the epitome of trouble!"
