“The world is beautiful, don't you think? There's no need to mess with people you shouldn't mess with.” Leon stood on the narrow street while showing a smile when he saw the strange Hoodlum in front of him.

“Besides, do you really think that I'm unaware of what you guys are planning?”

In his hands at this moment, a woman in a black robe was writhing in pain. Her body seemed to be burning by a line of mana that slowly moved from Leon's fingers that were holding her neck.

“S-sorry. I-I didn't know that you were such a powerful Magus.” The woman begged while shedding tears of pain. She didn't dare to scream and could only grit her teeth while enduring the pain of the mana lines moving throughout her body.

To shorten what actually happened, when Leon was walking and enjoying the view of Maple City, this woman for some reason suddenly attacked him. Suddenly, without any warning, this woman used her magic and attacked Leon right in front of his face.

Initially, Zaratul wanted to come out of Leon's shadow and finish off the woman with his own hands. However, Leon didn't let Zaratul out.

This girl is strange. Leon glanced at it and felt an ominous feeling about the woman in front of him.

“Hmm… What should I do with a little kid like you?”

“Ah…. I- I'm sorry.”

The woman could no longer endure the pain she felt from the mana line that almost reached her heart. Leon let go and let the child fall to the ground.

That a Magus with 2 rings could withstand such terrible pain, Leon was quite surprised.

The magic he used previously was magic used to kill his enemies in a fairly slow but painful period of time. It was just a magic he made for fun while training the quick release system.

The results are quite good. It's just that to operate the quick release system, the brain which is used as the biggest operator experiences fatigue and drains a lot of energy and mental energy.

“You must be something huh? If another 2-ringed magus had felt that pain, he would have given up and told everything they knew.”

“But you seem quite different. But… what makes you different? This is quite interesting to investigate.” Leon said while showing a faint smile.

It was an ordinary-looking smile, but to the woman in front of her, it was a terrifying smile that looked like that of a devil.

'Zaratul, check the memories this girl has but don't go out of my mind.'

'Yes, master.' Zaratul mobilized a black shadow which was a small part of his body and entered the little girl's body.

After a while, Zaratul retracted the black shadow on his body. “Master, she killed herself.”

"I know." Leon slowly lost his smile when he saw the body of the girl who died horribly in front of him. “This girl is truly unusual.”

Leon looked at the mana lines still engraved on the girl's body. The mana line extended from the neck searing the flesh and carving the woman's spine. It spread throughout her body and injured various other organs and bones that the mana line passed through.

The pain must have been unimaginable. But because of this, Leon felt that this girl was not ordinary.

'What did you get? Leon sent telepathy to Zaratul.

'From the memories I got, she came from a prison on the outskirts of Maple City. There's not much I can find out, but the girl is related to someone called Angulus Wretcher.'

“Someone is targeting me. I don't know what the purpose is, but this is really troublesome.” Leon sighed while tapping the staff in his hand.

But what's the reason?

If it was related to the summoning ritual I performed on the Betlam family, it should have been forgotten due to the influence of Obscuring karma. I've been in this world for some time and don't have the slightest karma.

They should have forgotten about someone by the name of Leonardo Constantine. Because someone like that doesn't exist in this world.

Leon naturally understood how his Obscuring karma worked. Without karma, he would practically never exist in this world. Everyone who knew him, everyone who knew Leon would gradually forget him no matter who it was.

The best case is Alice. When the two met again, Alice would not remember that she had ever met someone like Leon. Because basically, there is no one named Leon in this world.

Only Leon himself knows that he exists. Who knows how far the influence this ability will bring, Leon still doesn't know.

But this was enough for organizations like Midnight Inn to be unable to track him or Austin Farmland to tie him down. In addition, the Contract between Austin Farmland was completely based on the magic Tower of Babel and not on Leon.

Caihong's father knew very well that there was no point in entering into a contract with Leon who had absolutely no karma.

After thinking about it for a while, Leon decided to see for himself. “The outskirts of the city… it's quite far. I'll take a look after I finish my business and Erick moves first.”

But not now.

There was still plenty of time and Leon wasn't in too much of a rush. After all, there was something he wanted to take before that. Soon, Leon disappeared from Maple City and returned to the Babylon domain.

In the house near where Leon disappeared, a family consisting of a husband and wife stared closely at the place where Leon disappeared.

“He disappeared again? Did you detect anything from that person's movements?”

"No. Even if I tried to see them with all the abilities this body has, I couldn't see any.” the husband answered while averting his gaze from where Leon was standing and closing the window.

“This is strange. Previously, the Betlam family investigated this person in various ways, causing a commotion that attracted various organizations to join in. But it all suddenly became so quiet as if they had forgotten it.” The wife prepared the dining table on the second floor while cleaning some fruit to eat.

“Even after the attack on the Betlam family, there was no trace of that person at all. Not only that, many other organizations suddenly forgot what they were doing.”

The husband and wife chatted while eating food cooked by the wife. It was a soup of tomatoes and smoked mutton mixed with spices.

In the middle of the conversation, the husband suddenly asked his wife.

“Who were we talking about earlier? Do you remember anything?”

"No. I do not know what you are talking about."

The two continued their meal as if nothing was strange. They eat food so heartily and deliciously.

***

In the Babel domain, Leon returned to the fifth floor of the library of the magic Tower of Babel. In his very spacious room, Leon immediately fell on the soft mattress he had.

"Ah…. It's so comfortable. Even the Betlam family mattress cannot compare to this mattress. Oh yes, system, how do I calculate the rewards I get?"

[The reward calculation was completed long ago. Is there anything you want in addition to the prize you got?]

“Wait a minute, you don't mind me speaking openly?” Leon looked at the shadow under his feet. Zaratul was still there and did not leave his place.

If it is according to the contract that both of them have, he has violated one of the provisions of the existing contract. Wouldn't he be replaced soon?

[Third Clause: The host/heir is not permitted to inform about the existence of the system directly or indirectly. If this clause is violated, the System will immediately terminate the contract and look for a new heir.

You are not violating the terms of this contract because there is no problem in telling your members that you have a similar system. Actually, this clause was created to prevent outsiders from endangering your life by being chased by crazy people who want to research you.]

"Then, what about the system that the members have?"

[You don't need to mind that. Even if they wanted to, they would never be able to reveal the system that the magic tower of Babel had. Unlike you who are not limited by the magic tower of Babel in making decisions, the members are limited by various kinds of very binding rules.]

“Then it's no problem. I want to see what reward I get.”
