"Back then, Vork hadn't even been born yet. It's likely Alfred was behind this on his own, especially since Deka was killed fifteen years ago. Now that Leo has returned, I swear in the name of the king that we will seek out the truth of that incident! But there are still two things that need clarification. Who was in charge of the Research Institute after Alfred's death? And who destroyed the Research Institute?"

Perhaps no one present had ever imagined that it was the new breed of Skullbreakers, who targeted officials, that destroyed the Research Institute. However, who was giving them instructions remained another mystery.

"Young king, I accept your oath. Now that the old king and the courtiers involved in the incident have passed away, I will naturally fight alongside the new generation of humans. Although I was used as a human experiment, at least with this young body obtained through experiments, I can do something!"

Under Anwar's sincere persuasion, Leo was successfully convinced to put aside past grievances and continue to serve Homeland. Under Mock's leadership, Leo met with the people. Currently, Homeland is in a dark period plagued by several troubling events, and his reappearance brings hope to humanity once again.

Then, after Leo briefly reunited with the Academy of Huntector, he gathered with the king and the courtiers for dinner. Vice-commanders such as Aoino, Sakura, Geroge, and Zinchel were also present to congratulate him.

During the banquet, Anwar ordered a city-wide celebration to be held the next night to celebrate the return of this legendary hero.

After dinner, Leo requested to meet Baron alone for a reunion. The two of them went to the roof of the Academy of Huntector, where they drank and chatted. In the moonlight, their figures, one large and one small, resembled those of a father and son.

"We haven't done this in ages, have we? I thought we'd never see each other again." Leo thought he would spend the rest of his life at the Research Institute, but he never imagined he would be able to start a new life.

"Haha, just like old times." At this age, being able to reunite with a friend made Baron happier than anything else. "By the way, so many big things happened this year. How much do you know?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL4a65SkOn
"Just a little."

So Baron recounted to Leo about Fakeslave, the new breed of Skullbreakers, the deaths of two important officials, Flamape's siege, and other events one by one, as well as the important events over the past few decades.

"So you see, your appearance has opened the door to victory for humanity's counterattack. You are our spiritual leader."

"My identity isn't that important. Now that we have some free time, would you be interested in a little competition? I doubt you'll find anyone who can pique your interest since my disappearance."

Leo flashed the smile of a young challenger, his ContQi circulating throughout his body, eager for action. However, Baron remained calm and smiled peacefully.

"I may be old, but you're still young. There's no need to be polite, and tomorrow there's the 'Imperial Ceremony.' You should come along, I'll talk to the king about it."

"Alright. I'd like to see the skills of the younger generation too."

After a few more drinks, they each went home to sleep. That night, Leo slept the most peaceful sleep he had in decades, finally able to sleep soundly without any worries.

At dawn, Anwar dispatched Mock, Enyama, Honora, along with Zinchel and several members of the Huntector and Research Institute teams, to thoroughly investigate the destroyed underground research facility.

With Leo present, Anwar wasn't concerned about his own safety. Unusually, he sent out three Kingsides for the investigation because he was more worried about potential dangers in the ruins.

In the early morning, Gravin stood alone at the city gate, enjoying the scenery. As a Kingside, he didn't need to patrol; he simply came out to breathe fresh air after so much had happened.

As he gazed at the scenery outside, he recalled the thrilling scene of Flamape's siege. If they had arrived just a moment later, Grandecy would have been destroyed.

While Gravin observed the empty space in front of the city gate, a huge metal armor wielding a longsword and shield suddenly appeared out of thin air. The helmet had no visible openings, and its height was four times that of an average person, even smaller than Flamape.
