Chapter 416 The danger that Leo\'s potential could bring

After finishing with the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm\'s side, Leo immediately proceeded to the Sandpit Worm tribe\'s side. He can already expect that he would be earning the majority of the profit from there, considering there were tens of thousands of Sandpit Worms that belonged in that Magical Beast tribe.
Moreover, the Chaos Orbs he would be able to harvest from that place would definitely be a lot. He isn\'t even sure whether all of those loots would really be able to fit inside his remaining Storage Rings.
Hopefully, it would...
Leo soon arrived at the location of the Sandpit Worm tribe.
At this moment, in front of Leo, were piles of loots. There were tens of thousands of Sandpit Worm\'s carcasses just lying around the sand, some only have a fourth of their body remaining while the majority only have half body, there were also some Sandpit Worm\'s eggs which he can somewhat already guess that came from those Sandpit Worms carrying eggs, and lastly, Mana stones.
There were really a lot of loots, but the most valuable here was only the Chaos Mana. After all, the price of the Sandpit Worm carcasses would most likely only be around 10 to 50 silver coins, considering that its damage as well, the price would definitely go down.
He had only used around 20 pieces of Chaos Orbs to attack the Sandpit Worm tribe in the chase. But right now, he could already feel that he would be able to create 500 pieces of Chaos Orbs, twenty-five times than he had used. He can\'t even help thinking that, "What if I can keep on repeating this kind of hunt again and again? It would be very likely for me to harvest Chaos Orbs as many as what I have harvested from a single city back then at Lionheart Kingdom, right?"
Unfortunately, he has already decided not to keep on using Chaos Orbs so as to avoid leaving evidence that can be used to investigate him in the latter future.
Although Chaos Orbs were powerful, really, but it always comes with a great risk every time he used it. Like right now, more people have gotten to know about his secret. It was really fortunate for him that it was only Cassandra and the others this time. If there were other people he doesn\'t trust involved, then he would not have any other choices left but to kill those people. After all, dead men tell no tales.
Honestly, if only Ethan\'s group weren\'t in a really dangerous situation, then he wouldn\'t have chosen to use the Chaos Orbs, but rather just use his Elementals in the fight instead and escape.
However, since he had already decided to use the Chaos Orbs, he thought that he might as well no longer hide it and use it to eliminate the entire Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm. In such a way, he was at least able to gain a profit after revealing his secret.
It turns out, his decision was indeed correct.
"Time to begin harvesting the loot," Leo said as he ordered his Elementals to help him gather the loots. While they were busy with that, he also started creating the Chaos Orbs.
.....
Meanwhile, the Green Eagle Flyingboat was already hovering above Leo.
Cassandra and the others were staring at Leo with open wide eyes, expressing their great shock at the scene happening in front of them at this very moment.
"Leo can actually control the Chaos Mana?!" Cassandra exclaimed.
"That\'s not the important point here, those unknown and powerful items he\'s creating right now are." Elizabeth said.
"With such great capability, it wouldn\'t be strange for Leo to become one of the powerful Humans to ever appear in the future." Angel added.
"Indeed, the potential he has shown right now would be enough for him to attract Human sects to recruit him. It might even be possible for him to become a member of the 3 powerful Human sects." Veronica expressed her thoughts.
"The three of you really has a limited amount of knowledge about the Celestial World," Ash shook her head before explaining, "To tell you the truth, Leo\'s potential is already enough for him to be recruited into the Sects of those neutral races. I am even sure that if a small Dragon race sect knew about this, then they would certainly try to recruit Leo."
Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Sele, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre also expressed their agreement.
At the side, though, Charlotte coldly harrumphed before calling them, "Idiots!"
Hearing Charlotte calling them \'Idiots!\', Cassandra and the others immediately turned to look at her, showing her a confused look. They can\'t help asking inwardly why they were idiots?
Charlotte explained, "All of you are really a bunch of idiots! Honestly, I don\'t want to call you guys in such a way, but all of you are absolutely idiots! Can you please not only think of the positive effect Leo\'s potential could bring? Let me educate you; if Leo\'s potential is actually revealed to anyone, trust me, they will certainly not think of recruiting him, but rather how to eliminate him first."
"Don\'t forget, Leo is also capable of summoning Elementals, which could not only increase in numbers the more he grows but can also become even more powerful. Now adding his capability to control Chaos Mana and also those unknown yet powerful items; he would certainly become a threat to anyone against him. Like for example, the Black organization." Charlotte explained with a worried look on her face. She continued, "It is already a fact that we all know that the Black Organization will not just sit there and wait for Leo to knock on their doors and slaughter all of them. Their Leaders would definitely think of something to fight against him."
"I can already expect that; first, they will try to handle the problem themselves. But, once they discovered that it\'s impossible for them to fight him alone, they would then try inviting others to fight alongside them, which will be the start for Leo\'s potential to start spreading. Once Leo\'s information is revealed to the public, the next thing that would happen would be a large-scale manhunt."
"At that moment, Leo would be in constant danger since numerous people will keep on trying to hunt him. Maybe a few of them would try to recruit him in the very beginning, thinking of using his potential to benefit themselves. But the majority of them would surely choose to kill him as they would consider him as a threat. Think about it, whoever successfully invites Leo would be akin to having a killing machine. And we all know that no one, absolutely no one, would want to see such a killing machine pointed at them, so they would instead destroy this killing machine first before it could destroy them. Of course, unless..." Charlotte paused, "If Leo could become powerful enough to defend himself. Until then, I suggest all of us to try to keep this a secret. Much better, if we can help Leo avoid revealing more of his capability."
"I propose that it\'s time for all of us to make up our minds and start being serious about becoming powerful. I know that some of you are serious, but I also know that the majority of you aren\'t actually even sure yet. Maybe you\'re only helping Leo because you have other goals. Maybe you\'re only here because you want to repay the favor that someone has given to you before. Maybe you\'re only here to join in the fun. Or maybe, I\'m actually mistaken, and that all of you are actually serious. But one thing is for sure, if we lost Leo, it will be the end of all of this. So, if you don\'t want to lose him, then become powerful to protect him." Charlotte finished her words before flying off the Green Eagle Flyingboat straight down towards Leo.
Cassandra and the others were left standing still while trying to digest all of Charlotte\'s words. In particular, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre were the ones that were affected the most.
What Charlotte had said was very straightforward. To translate it into the simplest form possible would mean that, "If you are not serious, then you can leave while it is still early so that you will not be implicated in the future danger that Leo would surely bring to any of you. But if you are, then become powerful enough to protect Leo!"
Even the most stupidest person in the Celestial World would be able to understand this hidden meaning, not to mention smart people like them.
Ethan, Elaine, and Edward choose to come along with the main intention of finding the Dream fruit to help their mother, Madam Triana, wake up from her coma. Maybe after they are done with that, they will stay for a bit to repay the favor or perhaps just leave and think of another way to repay the favor.
On the other hand, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre only choose to come along in order to repay the help that both Ash and Leo had given to their Eclipse Village until now. Maybe once they think that what they have given is enough, then they might just choose to stop and find other paths to walk.
Or maybe all of them will actually choose to stay.
No one could really tell what lies in the future path ahead.
However, one thing is for sure; they need to be prepared for it!
Cassandra and the others already have their answer to Charlotte\'s question, so they gathered together to discuss about becoming powerful once again. The last time they talked about this, they weren\'t able to have a clear conclusion, so this time, they would aim to have one.
While Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre looked at each other, waiting for one of them to begin the discussion.
