Leo looked at all the skills he had accumulated over the last few years. His focus was always on increasing his longevity and his chances of survival. He had picked up a few good skills, especially those that could improve his agility, which was his priority. He had no doubt he could not kill even a low-level enemy, but with his high physical constitution and agility, he could at least escape.

His experience with summons over the last few years had not been as fruitful as he imagined. He had only drawn seventy-eight knights, five great knights, three silver knights, and a single golden knight; there was no other heavenly knight as he had expected.

After the Icereach Kingdom's annexation, he continued living peacefully. No one came to bother him anymore; he meditated for a few hours daily, spending the rest of his time with his numerous maids. He now has over 100 maids and more than 200 children, most of whom he hadn’t even visited once.

It could be said he had failed as a father, but he provided enough money to all of his maids, so his children were quite lucky to have him as their father.

"My children will ascend with me; when I conquer the world, I will make them kings and queens!" Leo thought.

He could live for a long time with skills like "Metabolism Slowdown" and "Aging Resistance," along with a high physical constitution and spirit, which was not far from a Rank 1 official mage. Five hundred years would not be an issue, and once he reached the rank of official mage, he might be able to last for 1,000 years! He is only 30 and has been in this world for less than 20 years, but even in such a short time, he already has many knights, including a heavenly knight under his command. From his perspective, his rise was only a matter of time. If he kept drawing cards, he would eventually get lucky with a draw and reach the top in one step.

After the annexation, he disbanded the bandit group and decided to earn money differently. He asked Caelan to conceal his identity and began integrating into the Knight Association. Years passed, and now Caelan was his spy within the association. Not only that but as a golden knight, every task Caelan received was rewarded massively. Over the years, Caelan sent millions of gold coins Leo’s way. Essentially, Leo had no financial issues, relying on the income of a golden knight.

He didn’t try to expand his territory; even his own two mines were abandoned, with "obligated workers" either released or, for those who couldn’t be freed, eliminated. The city under his control still had a tiny population of 12,000 and was inconspicuous. No one from the outside could guess that thousands of well-armed soldiers, a golden knight, and even a heavenly knight resided there.

"Let’s see the next draw! I hope I draw another heavenly knight!" Leo wished. With another heavenly knight, he could start his plan to conquer the surrounding areas fully.
