Chapter 903 - Temporary Relief

Amidst hall members' shock, there were also joy and disbelief, but mostly joy. The young master's presence immediately dispelled the heavy atmosphere.

"Bahahaha! I knew Young Master Leonhardt wouldn't fall in a place like the Eternal Night Secret Realm!" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman laughed heartily.

Although the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman strongly believed Leon was alive, nothing was more rea.s.suring than seeing the person in the flesh.

"It's great that you made it back alive, Young Master Leonhardt. How did you manage to stay back in the Eternal Night Secret Realm?" asked a Half-step Battle King from the Crimsonfog Tribe.

"I don't think that's important right now, is it?" Leon glanced at the Half-step Battle King calmly.

At the same time, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and several other members in the hall directed their gazes at the Half-step Battle King disapprovingly.

Daring to question the young master about something that could be regarded as a tight secret right from the start This person has no tact.

"Young Master Leonhardt is right," Chief Valencia voiced her agreement.

"Since Young Master Leonhardt is here, I hope you can provide some insight into our dilemma. Right now, we are facing a food shortage. The Central Region's conflict is too much for us. Thus, we are thinking of hunting for food sources in the demon's territory."

"What do you think, Young Master Leonhardt?" Chief Valencia asked shortly after.

Although Chief Valencia appeared calm on the surface, she was actually nervous and feeling a bit of relief.

She was part of the majority that didn't believe Young Master Leonhardt was alive. Fortunately, she didn't do anything to the person's maids and adoptive family.

Nevertheless, after Leon heard Chief Valencia's question, he stared at her silently for a moment before asking, "The Teleportation Array You didn't think about getting food supplies from the Human Domain?"

Chief Valencia opened her mouth before closing them again without speaking. She was at a loss for words, unsure of how to reply.

Naturally, the thought of getting help from the Human Domain crossed her mind on multiple occasions.

However, she always had her misgivings regarding the strength of the Human Domain, considering it could produce someone like the Young Master Leonhardt.

Thus, she feared the Crawford Empire would blame her tribe for the young master's 'death' and become hostile instead.

"Well, I guess you'll need me to mediate between the two sides anyway," Leon added shortly after, not intending to put Chief Valencia on the spot.

"Since there isn't any immediate threat on this side, I'll return to the Human Domain and organize the food supply chain. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but this should relieve your food burden temporarily."

Shortly after Leon spoke, he waved his hand and unloaded a giant sea monster body into the empty center of the hall.

The sea monster's body was quite large but not enough to feed all three tribes for even a single day.

"Of course, this is just a sample," Leon stated. He had enough modesty not to fill the entire hall in the fishy scent of sea monster bodies.

"Take me somewhere I can unload more of these sea monster bodies."

"I'll do it! Follow me, Young Master Leonhardt."

Once Leon made the request, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman immediately volunteered before anyone else could voice their eagerness.

Shortly after Leon nodded, he followed the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman outside the hall. Aria, Darlene, and Duna didn't stay; they followed the two out as well.

Silence returned to the hall. However, the heavy atmosphere was long dispelled, thanks to Leon's return.

Many members in the hall slumped back in their seats with a long sigh of relief.

"Our problems were so easily resolved with Young Master Leonhardt's return. No, our problems aren't even real problems with Young Master Leonhardt around," Old Tailor sighed.

"Young Master Leonhardt is more than qualified to lead us all," Chief Skyhawk commented.

Several Venerable Shamans and Half-step Battle Kings nodded in agreement, albeit for different reasons.

While some believed in his charisma, some believed in his raw strength, especially the latter.

Although it was just a brief interaction, the Half-step Battle Kings felt intimidated and overshadowed by the young master's presence.

There was something about his aura that made them cower in submission; it felt grand, majestic, and authoritativeexactly what a mighty warrior should have.

After Chief Valencia summoned some servants to take the giant sea monster body away for processing, she resumed the meeting.

"Since Young Master Leonhardt has resolved our food problem, we'll continue with the regular report," Chief Valencia stated.

All members in the hall nodded.

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman led Leon outside the palace before glancing around at the empty plot of land.

"I think this place will do just fine. What do you think, Young Master Leonhardt?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman asked.

Leon reviewed the area and nodded. It was certainly s.p.a.cious enough.

He turned his gaze to Aria and Darlene before they immediately understood his silent intention.

Then, they took out numerous sea monster bodies from their interspatial rings, enough to form mountains outside the palace.

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was mentally prepared, but the sight of so many sea monster bodies pouring out of the ladies' interspatial rings still shocked him.

"With this much sea monster meat, we'll be able to last two months at the very least," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman said with surprise.

Little did the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman know that it was only a fraction of what Aria and Darlene had in their interspatial rings.

Furthermore, Leon could always summon fresh sea monsters directly from the Radiant Heaven Realms.h.i.+p if he wanted.

However, Leon had no intention of exposing his secret.

"Senior One-Eye, what has happened in the last three weeks? Would you mind filling me in on the details while we are here?" Leon requested.

"Your words are wasted on this Old Man, Young Master LeonhardtNo, Lord Leonhardt. You can just call me, One-Eye, my Lord," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman said.

"Very well, One-Eye," Leon agreed.
