"Leonardo. For what reason did you come here… You should know this place has violated the order!"
All of them raised their visions as they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. This was the first time they saw someone at this level.
After all, no one expected that Leonardo would have a hard time blocking a single attack.
Theo couldn't help but think, 'I have learned the history back in Thersland… The world couldn't fly up the satellites because they would always get shot down.
'Sir Leonardo's strength alone is already shocking… And the one there is even stronger. And just like humans, they should have a few more guys like him.
'Were they the ones preventing the humans from advancing in this world? Just like Avarice said, everything was due to the order.'
Theo closed his eyes as if he understood something.
On the other hand, Leonardo had no time to talk with them as he couldn't even protect himself against this monster.
Hence, Leonardo shouted, "I am here to fix those so-called orders. Since this is the human's fault, I will be the one fixing it. I promise you that the ones who cause all this ruckus will receive their retribution.
"Besides, shouldn't you thank me for knowing about the disruption so early? If not, I don't know what will happen." Leonardo squinted his eyes.
"It won't happen if you, humans, don't invade this place."
"You're saying something stupid." Leonardo snorted.
The thunder rumbled as if the monster behind the cloud planned to attack again because Leonardo had angered him.
However, the lightning stopped before he said, "You have one year. If not, I will destroy all your cities in this area."
"I understand. I will see it through." Leonardo nodded with a serious expression. "You can leave it to me."
"Hmph. Remember one year." The black cloud started to disperse as the figure disappeared. He didn't forget to leave one message. "I leave not because I respect you… May the moonlight bless you with its presence."
"!!!" Leonardo widened his eyes and gasped. He looked around for a split second before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
The moment the black clouds disappeared, the peace was restored as if nothing had happened.
"Grandfather?" Lorenzo bit his lips and clenched his fists to the point his palms bled just to withstand the fear in his heart. "That…"
Leonardo took another look at the surroundings. Since there was only Ava, Theo, and Lorenzo near him, he said, "That's the guardian of this area. One of the World Class Monsters, known as the holder of the Lightning Authority. Unfortunately, even I only know his status, not his name."
"World Class Monster!" Lorenzo gasped.
"Lightning Authority?" Theo looked down, becoming confused. He muttered inwardly, 'Authority? Not orders? But he mentioned moonlight earlier… Did he know something about the mark given by Avarice?'
Theo gulped down as he wondered whether the World Class Monster had marked him or not since he would die if that monster chased him.
As if noticing Theo's expression, Leonardo sighed, realizing Theo was the one the World Class Monster was talking about.
Leonardo thought for a moment and turned to Lorenzo. "Can you go home first? Theo and I have something to do after this."
"…" Lorenzo obviously didn't like to be left out, but he chose to obey after seeing their expressions. He realized it wasn't the time for him to overstep his bounds.
He politely nodded. "I understand. I will return first."
"Yep. Thank you." Leonardo smiled as he saw Leonardo using his Teleportation to return home.
After Lorenzo disappeared, Leonardo asked, "I have taken a look at this area from the sky and found nothing. Now that we're already safe, I can see there's a gap underneath the ground… Is this it?"
"Yes." Theo nodded with a serious expression.
"To be honest, I'm surprised that you have befriended a King Class monster." Leonardo smiled and patted his shoulders.
"Huh?" Theo tilted his head in confusion, refusing to admit it.
"It's okay not to say anything. When you get closer to the truth of this world, you will figure out about orders and how we need to maintain that order. So, you calling me to this place is the right situation.
"If that monster found this place first, Italy would lose all their cities on this side… There's even a possibility of a monster outbreak in Italy. That's why the trade has been fulfilled. I will give you a reward later. Of course, I will also teach you how to take revenge without getting involved directly. You will hear the report later."
"Thank you." Theo nodded.
"Anyway, I will wait for the others to leave this place before investigating the facility. You're going to be my guide, right?"
"I will do my best."
"Though I believe you have gotten everything." He shrugged. "Don't worry. I am not going to force you to hand it over to me. You will understand why I did this after the revenge."
"Is that so?" Theo looked down, contemplating whether he should keep the information or not.
"Anyway, that's all. I'm going to wait there." Leonardo pointed at the cage.
"Yes." Theo suddenly fell silent and asked, "Sir Leonardo."
"Hmm?"
"Ehm…" Theo rubbed his cheek gently with his fingers. "I want to ask you something. Can my assistant know this information?"
"Oh?" Leonardo raised his eyebrows, showing a slight excitement. Although his eyes were staring at Theo's eyes, his Awareness was observing the girl who seemed to be the closest to Theo. "It's your assistant. You tell her whatever you want her to know. However, her safety and problem will be your responsibility."
Theo was stunned for a second before nodding. "I understand. Thank you."
"No problem." Leonardo waved his hand and started walking away.
After that, Theo turned around and walked to the group, approaching the same girl as the one in Leonardo's mind.
"Theo?" She was about to leave, so his visit surprised her. However, Theo's question was a bigger shock to her.
"Do you happen to be interested in becoming my assistant, Agata?"
