"So fast?"


    Legs was surprised at first on being asked before he soon remembered that he was the only NPC with a virtual interface, he improvised with an excuse on the spot. "Yes, I made preparations before now".


    "One of my beast pets is good at recording, he recorded it".


    "Oh, as expected of the great master".


    As Master Dan and Prince Christensen focused on praising his feat, Legs put his attention back on their current situation. Apart from Christensen''s goal, his main motivation for taking this risk was for benefits.


    If he could get only the Beast Integration Summoner knowledge, then this risk was well worth it already, every other gain would be bonus.


    Despite the benefits, to survive, he needed to calcte urately.


    ''With the Enhanced Leadership, my control over Predator and the others would increase by at least 80%. Ak''s leadership over the wolves will also increase which will yield a great increase in my effectivebat strength''.


    ''In our present situation, I approximate an increase of 20%''.


    Considering the benefits that were up for grabs, an increase of 20% in his effectivebat strength gave him the courage to go through with his n.


    A 20% increase due to just 1 ss knowledge was pretty ridiculous, but this was the difference between intermediate and basic summoner knowledges.


    Legs turned to face Master Dan. "How can I ess the exclusive library of the psychopaths of the Clown Society?"


    Master Dan sighed with a deted shoulder. "Great master, I don''t advise that, their exclusive library is one of the most defended locations in the pce".


    "I heard that it''s where all their higher-ups stay".


    Legs was determined to get his hands on the Beast Integration knowledge, but he would notmit suicide to achieve his goal. If Master Dan so vehemently opposed it, he was obliged to lessen his stance on his goal.


    "Then, if we can''t ess their exclusive library, we need your help to ess the prince''s room".


    Master Dan turned to face Christensen who exined through gritted teeth. "I forgot the ne that my mom gave to me, I just could not live with the fact of parting with it, it will serve as my motivation to grow stronger".


    "Ok, I will help you".


    …


    2 minutester, Master Dan came back with the 2 suppliers that he previously left with. "They''re innocent". He announced haughtily.


    "It was a misjudgment on my part".


    Instead of getting annoyed at him, the leader of the supply group instead heaved a deep sigh of relief on hearing that. "Thank you master, I''m relieved to hear that, so can we offload the goods now?"


    "Yes, you can".


    "Thank you master".


    As the suppliers worked on offloading the supplies, Master Dan''s 2 apprentices who disguised as suppliers also joined in the work while Legs and Christensen already took a back road deep inside the pce.


    A few minutester, all the supplies were offloaded.


    "It was nice doing business with you, see youter". The leader of the supply group bade his farewell to the masters with a wide smile on his face.


    The supply group left not long after on their Earth Horses.


    …


    Despite it not being long since the takeover, both Queens of the Palm Ind already made significant changes to theyout of the pce.


    Christensen needed Master Dan''s map to navigate through his own home.


    Navigation was hard though, after the takeover, perhaps to guard against scenarios like when their parents were killed, security increased in the pce.


    To get to Christensen''s room, they had to climb in through the fire vent at the ceiling. To do this, they did not have to go outside, they simply scaled through the stairs without being caught to the highest level of the pce.


    There, they entered the roof through the ceiling.


    To their shock, there were guards also in the roof.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    Legs pounced on them before they could ring the rm.


    After bringing down the 4 guards in quick session, he urged Christensen. "We need to move fast, it won''t take long before we are discovered".


    Legs sprinted as he led Christensen through the maze-like structure of the roof until they arrived at the vent that led straight to Christensen''s room.


    Legs cut the corners of the vent with his dagger before entering, Christensen followed soon after as they made their way into the room.


    Thud! Thud!


    As soon as theynded, Christensen looked around in a daze. "Nothing changed…, it''s still my room".


    Bam!


    Legs smacked him on the head. "Reminisceter, find the ne now!"


    "Ahh…, yes, sorry boss".


    Christensen barely started walking before a click reverberated from the door, the doorknob twisted slightly then it opened to reveal a familiar face.


    "Bianca…?!"


    "What a surprise!" The intruder pped her hands, showing genuine surprise. "And what is my foolish little brother doing here? Looking for this?"


    As she raised her hands up, Legs''s eyes narrowed. ''Bianca, the Frost Artist''. At this moment, she looked nothing like her menacing self in the future.


    Bianca was a pale-skin beautiful youngdy with light blue hair, light blue eyebrows, and light blue lips. She had an innocent demeanor, but knowing her, Legs knew that this was all a fa?ade.


    "H-how did you know that I was here?" Christensen stammered.


    "Foolish brother, you never change, I guessed". She tsked her tongue in a teasing tone before finally turning to face Legs. "And what do we have here? Are the rumors true? You actually got a friend…"


    "Don''t disrespect my master!"


    "Oh…!


    A lot of things went through Legs''s mind in an instant as all this transpired, then he made a decision. "Change of ns Christensen".


    "Get your ne, I''ll go get the Chefron".


    Almost at the same time that he spoke, Legs retrieved his G-96 automatic pistols as he aimed at the blue little demon before pulling the trigger.


    Bianca dodged right on time, also activating her Ice Elementalist barrier as a second fool-proof n before the bullets left the muzzle.


    Legs did not intend to kill her though, he charged through the now open door outside straight towards the location of the pce pool.


    "Oh…, he left you? Funny…"


    "Shut up!" Christensen clenched his fists.


    Unlike before, Christensen grew to have respect and reverence for someone other than himself for the first time. He did not see Legs''s actions as abandoning him at this moment, he rather saw it as a test.


    He soon remembered Legs''s words. ''To learn under me, the first step is for you to ovee your fears''.


    "Ahhh!" Christensen charged towards his sister.
