Leo travels on his horse for many hours before he finally saw the silhouette of what was once the White River City.

At this moment, the White River City wasn't as beautiful as what he had seen a month ago. Right now, no beautiful flowers could be seen anymore, almost all the walls had fallen down and from time to time a few would fall down as the part that's holding them together is eaten by the rampaging Chaos Mana, only a few houses and buildings were left standing and even those had a part of them destroyed or slowly being destroyed by the Chaos Mana, and lastly, the White River City's landmark, the mirror-like river, was now an empty dry land with its still continuous gushing river water blocked by something in its front. Actually, it may look like something has blocked the water, but looking closely one would notice that the water was in fact also being eaten by the rampaging Chaos Mana.

In the entire area of the White River City, Chaos Mana was rampaging around, spreading and spreading throughout the unaffected area and causing further more destruction to the White River City.

"So unfortunate; how a once beautiful scenery has turned into a place akin to a disastrous tragedy..." Leo shook his head before disembarking from his horse. This was a safe enough location away from the rampaging Chaos Mana, so there is no need to worry about his horse accidentally getting killed. Also, trees were surrounding this area, which should somewhat hide the location of his horse and not allow someone to secretly steal it when he's not looking.

Leo then took the leash from his Storage Ring and tied the horse to a nearby tree with some nearby grass around that the horse could use to replenish its energy and hunger.

Surveying his surrounding, Leo then noticed that no one was around. He then began stretching his hands before walking towards the ruins of the White River City, specifically 500 meters away from his current location right now.

"Time to begin working!" Leo said with a smile on his face as soon as he arrived nearby the White River City.

With a wave of his hand, a small wisp of his Mana was quickly thrown into the middle of the rampaging Chaos Mana, immediately beginning his taking over.

Leo keeps on waving his hand as he keeps on throwing more and more of his Mana, hastening the speed of his taking over.

Soon, Leo stopped throwing wisp of his Mana as he noticed that he now has a big enough area under his control. And then, he began controlling all those Chaos Mana to spread even further to make the process even quicker.

Whooosh!

Leo's Chaos Mana spread deeper and deeper, going farther and farther as it keeps on infecting the other Chaos Mana.

While that was happening, Leo keeps on moving deeper as well as his range of control wasn't enough to completely take over the entire Chaos Mana of the White River City.

Unlike back then at Silver City, right now Leo was finally able to familiarize and master himself with this ability to control the surrounding Mana. Because of that, he was able to finish everything after two hours and a half.

"Begin conversion!" Leo thought to himself as he immediately began gathering all the Chaos Mana together, soon creating many Chaos Orbs.

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Chaos Orbs continuously piled in front of Leo until finally the last Chaos Orb was formed.

The last step now was to put all the Chaos Orbs inside the Storage Ring. But there was now one big problem...

"I lack enough space in my Storage Ring!" Leo realized. The Storage Ring that contains the Chaos stones before could only store around 1,250 Chaos Orbs since they were a lot smaller compared to the Chaos stones. But the problem is, there were a total of 5,000 Chaos Orbs, so his storage space is not enough.

"Did I just seriously forgot to consider such an important matter?" Leo can't help mocking himself. He had thought of how to make a profit, yet he actually forgot the most basic requirements, specifically where to store his profit.

"Now then, what should I do next," Leo began walking back and forth while pondering in his mind on what he should do to fix this problem. He can't just take 1,250 Chaos Orbs and then leave the rest here, that's, even more, stupider of him if he indeed chooses to do that. Also, the Chaos Orbs was an unknown Magical resource that has the potential of earning a lot of profit, becoming powerful as it could aid in Mages' cultivation, and could also be used to easily defeat opponents or enemies, huge emphasis on the last one, hence even more so that he shouldn't leave them here.

"Why didn't I first consider this problem before doing that?! " Leo can't help slapping his own face.

Suddenly, Leo thought of something as he immediately took out the Storage Ring that contains the 10 million gold coins. That Storage Ring could contain 10 million gold coins, so it should have a big space inside, right?!

After taking out the Storage Ring, he then quickly put his consciousness inside and immediately noticed that there was still a bit of free space remaining in this Storage Ring that has 300 cubic square space to store the Chaos Orbs, specifically enough to store around 2,000 Chaos Orbs.

"This is still not enough, but I'll store what I can store first," Leo said before immediately storing 3,250 Chaos Orbs inside the two Storage Rings.

After finishing storing the 3,250 Chaos Orbs inside, Leo could then only stare at the remaining 1,750 Chaos Orbs helplessly.

"This would definitely leave me in a pinch, but I don't have any choice left but to do this," Leo firmed his mind before taking out 1 million gold coins inside the Storage Ring to free up some space to store 1,750 Chaos Orbs.

"Money can still be found, but Chaos Orbs are so hard to come by. I don't even know when would the next time I will encounter this chance to create more Chaos Orbs." Leo said to console himself while painfully storing all the 1,750 Chaos stones inside his Storage Ring.

When he was finally done, Leo didn't hesitate anymore to return to the horse that was tied to a tree 500 meters away from him. He knows that staying here any longer would just hurt his feelings even more.

"Ahhh, the pain of losing 1 million gold coins is really painful to the heart!" Leo said while clenching his left chest. "But I don't have any choice..."

The moment he arrived beside his horse, he then untied it before quickly mounting on its back. After a few minutes of contemplating, in the end, he still thought that what he had done was worth it.

Slowly, Leo turned around to take one last look at the pile of 1 million gold coins. Unexpectedly, what he saw next immediately rendered him speechless.

A group of 15 Bandits was currently basking in the piles of 1 million gold coins, showing joy and delight on their faces.

"Those fucking bastards!" Leo exclaimed in irritation as he thought of charging straight towards the Bandits and killing all of them. He had just walked away for a few minutes, and the moment he turned around again a group of Bandits had actually already arrived and benefited from his own misfortune? His own freaking misfortune?!

Is Fate perhaps rubbing salt on his wound right now? But isn't Fate supposedly on his side? Fate, don't you know that what you're doing here is called a friendly fire? So then, what are you waiting for, go and quickly make them scram away from my fortune!!

However, Leo suddenly formed a mischievous smile on his face as he noticed in one of the Bandits' hand a Magic tool that made his eyes lit up.

Storage Ring!

"So this time trouble isn't knocking on my door anymore, but rather it is luck itself! Yes, come in, come in, don't be shy, get inside my house, and let me enjoy all of your benefits!" Leo said as he immediately urges his horse to charge towards the Bandits. At the same time, he was also summoning his Elementals, specifically 2 Wind Elementals, 2 Earth Elementals, 2 Nature Elementals, 2 Water Elementals, and 1 Fire Elemental.

It was very clear to see that Leo doesn't only plan on stealing the Storage Ring from the Bandits, but also to beat the crap out of them to release his irritation moments ago.

Meanwhile, the Bandits who were still oblivious of Leo who was charging at them were currently swimming and jumping around the piles of 1 million golds. Someone was even planning to make it rain gold coins.

"Whala, bask yourselves in this rain of gold coins, my dear Bandit brothers!"

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

"That stupid guy before should be extremely rich because he had actually just left this much of gold coins without any problem!"

"Indeed, he had just walked inside the forest after leaving all of these gold coins!"

"Maybe he was actually planning to die inside the forest, so he decided to leave all of his fortunes here!"

"Who cares about that guy? What's important here is... We are rich, my dear Bandit brothers!"

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Without any of the Bandits expecting, tens or so of attacks made out of different Elements suddenly came raining down at them.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"Save me!"

The Bandits who were just enjoying and expressing their delight a while ago were now screaming in pain and agony as they received Leo's wrath.
