Moments later, Leo and Charlotte arrived in a small room. Inside the room was Madam Silva sitting on a chair with a table in front of her, while Evangelion was serving her tea at the side.
"Leo!" Madam Silva called out immediately while waving her hand as soon as she saw Leo walking inside.
"So, what does the great Madam Silva want with this lowly person?" Leo quickly greeted back.
"Drop the courtesy, we don\'t need that when talking with each other." Madam Silva said before taking a sip of her tea.
"Okay! Then, let me guess, Evangelion leading a few men to attack the Pathway of Elites but only using one single Golem was actually all part of your plan to call me here, right?" Leo didn\'t bother hiding what he had thought about.
"Just like what I have expected, you were indeed able to understand what I wanted to say." Evangelion joined in.
"Actually, I wasn\'t able to tell, but I indeed suspected it for a moment." Leo said with a smile, "Anyways, what do you want? It shouldn\'t just be because you simply wanted to have tea with me while a chaotic fight is currently happening outside that you have thought of calling to me, right? If that\'s indeed the case, then I would be leaving because no matter how I see it, your Sword and Magic already lost this fight."
Hearing Leo\'s words, Madam Silva can\'t help laughing, "HAHAHAHAHA!"
Leo was obviously attracted to the laugh, so he stopped in his motion of leaving as he turned around to looked at Madam Silva.
"Actually, the only reason why they lost was that Evangelion and Clydesdale\'s intention right from the very beginning was to send them into a suicide mission." Madam Silva revealed.
Leo became surprised as he dubiously asked, "Suicide mission?"
Madam Silva stood up from sitting as she looked at the window behind her, looking at the chaotic fight happening between the Mischievous Lion organization and the Sword and Magic organization in the Smiling Lion street.
"I know that you have been wondering why we thought of attacking you."
"I know, it\'s simply because you want to use me as a bargaining chip to my Master Olivia." Leo replied with a smile.
"If you think of it that way, then I can only say that you still lack experience, Leo," Madam Silva said as she turned to look at Leo with solemn eyes, "To tell you the truth, the name of the operation we are doing right now is actually named \'Slay the Queen Lion\'s Cubs\', which simply meant to kill you, and your two senior brothers George and Charles. From the start, there was not a single bit of intention of just simply abducting you so as to use you as a bargaining chip for you Master Olivia."
Leo became shocked right after finding out. He really didn\'t expect it to be like that...
"Fortunately for you, the people assigned for this operation was Evangelion and Clydesdale, and the first target was also you because for Vladimir you are a hidden thorn that should be eliminated first due to you being able to conquer Southeast Fortress the moment you\'ve returned, therefore I was able to secretly come with them without any problem along with Angel." Madam Silva explained. She then continued, "At first, Evangelion and Clydesdale were really intending to kill you. They were even sharpening their weapons when I walked inside their tent." She turned to look at Evangelion and Clydesdale, who were both turning their heads away while whistling some unknown song.
Leo at the side can\'t help gulping down a mouthful of saliva after hearing that Evangelion and Clydesdale was actually the one assigned to kill him and they were even seriously intending to kill him, too. He is a hundred percent sure that they would be able to easily kill him, no matter how many guards he positioned around him.
"If that was indeed the case, then what made them change their minds?" Leo can\'t help asking. Even if Madam Silva tried to stop Evangelion and Clydesdale, she would definitely be powerless because it was the President of Sword and Magic himself that ordered the kill, after all.
"This," Madam Silva suddenly threw Leo a letter.
It was Charlotte that caught the letter, thinking that it was some kind of weapon.
"You sure have a really cautious and at the same time powerful bodyguard, she\'s also perfectly suited to a person such as you, as well." Madam Silva chuckled.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the letter, Charlotte handed it carefully to Leo.
Leo slowly opened the letter and began reading the content. While reading his face slowly turned solemn every passing second, then at the very end of the letter his face turned into something in between shock and fear.
"So what you\'re trying to say is the President of Sword and Magic, Vladimir, a Constellation level Mage, has, unfortunately, died when he was going to Silver Kingdom?" Leo asked in disbelief.
Madam Silva only heaves a sigh of helplessness in response.
"If that is indeed true, then who is that Vladimir who had appeared in Southern Fortress right now, a clone, a twin, a duplicate in case if your President died?"
"A member of the Black organization, or to be more exact, she should be the Vice-president of the main-branch of the Black organization, Barbara, a female 9th Galaxy Special Mage that has the unique capability to change her appearance to whoever she had killed," Madam Silva explained, "But don\'t worry, Vladimir hasn\'t actually died, because if he indeed had died already, then he shouldn\'t have been able to send out a letter to me. We just don\'t know where he is right now, but if my guess is correct, then it should be related to his unique capability as a Special Mage like you."
"What if the letter was actually not really from him? Like for example, the Black organization is making you think that the Vladimir that has appeared is Barbara when the actual Barbara is actually the one who had sent you that letter." Leo voiced out his thought.
"That is impossible because only the President can activate the seal in me," Madam Silva said before suddenly releasing a powerful Magic power of a 5th Galaxy Mage.
"At first, I was also thinking the same as you, Leo, because ever since we joined Sword and Magic organization, we have always thought of Madam Silva as an ordinary person." Evangelion added.
"Indeed, never did we expect that she\'s actually a 5th Galaxy Mage. Well, we should have at least suspected that, right? Because she became someone only under the command of the President," Clydesdale said.
"Who would even think of that, right? With how kind and good our President is, it is only normal for him to recruit an ordinary person, not to mention someone with Madam Silva\'s capability!" Evangelion argued back.
"Yeah, that\'s indeed correct..." Clydesdale nodded in agreement.
"You both are clearly stupid, do you think a Mage like me would just accept someone as their Master if they were only just normal people?" Angel rolled her eyes. She had already knew of this, she just didn\'t reveal it because her Master Silva doesn\'t want others to know.
"That..." Evangelion and Clydesdale can\'t help becoming speechless. They were indeed wondering about that question from the moment they found out that Angel is actually a disciple of Madam Silva. Imagine this, Angel is a Mage and Madam Silva is an ordinary person, so how could she even teach her the way of Mages, right? And her teaching had even made Angel one of the Sword and Magic organization\'s elites.
"Hmph... you both are just blind for failing to see the real Madam Silva." Angel harrumph coldly.
In front of Madam Silva, Leo was struck dumbfounded. It wasn\'t just out of his expectations that Madam Silva is actually a powerful Mage, even thinking of that thought for him was something only the stupidest person in the entire Celestial World would even think about.
From the moment he first meets Madam Silva, there was no sign of Mana at all, or even a slight fluctuation of Mana around her. She was just an ordinary person, act like an ordinary person, and even live like an ordinary person, nothing more and nothing less. But yet she\'s actually a 5th Galaxy Mage?!!
"This..." Leo was also as speechless as Evangelion and Clydesdale.
"Don\'t tell me you actually didn\'t notice it, Leo?" Charlotte suddenly asked.
"Well, did you?" Leo shoots a deadly look at Charlotte.
"Of course, that\'s the exact reason why I even bothered catching the letter for you. No matter how small and tiny an object is, as long as they are thrown by someone in the level of Galaxy, they could turn into a deadly weapon, even an ordinary leaf." Charlotte replied seemingly like stating the obvious. Another reason why she knew about it was that Madam Silva\'s aura in terms of her cultivation was similar to her dead Master.
"Why didn\'t you told me?" Leo became dumbfounded.
"Well, you didn\'t ask, Master Leo..." Charlotte quickly defended herself.
"Aysttt..." Leo realized that he can\'t really blame Charlotte, because even if she had indeed told him about Madam Silva being a 5th Galaxy Mage, he would still react the same way because he just can\'t believe that information.. Even after seeing the proof in front of him, not to mention it was Madam Silva herself that had shown him the proof, he was still having a hard time believing it.
