Arriving outside the Sword and Magic, Leo suddenly saw Richton opposite to him, leaving the shop called Black Magic as the latter somewhat looks like a person who just went through a battle that lasted for a few weeks.

Richton's body at this moment was exhausted. Actually, not because he was tutored physically, but because Caynis's way of torture was by tormenting him mentally and spiritually. The one being attacked was his Spirit, which automatically also attacks both his body and mind at the same time.

Because Caynis was a Mage, he wasn't someone with a strong physical body. Hence, his torturing method was always by using his Magic to attack the Mage's Spirit. But this way of torturing was really tormenting. It's even a lot worse compared to torturing someone physically, especially towards a Mage.

The Spirit of a Mage was the most important part of their existence. Any damages inflicted to the Spirit would be tens of times or hundreds of times more damaging compared to purely physical or mental attack.

Fortunately, Richton was only being tormented. So, Caynis Spirit Magic assault was only meant to make him feel the pain of being attacked in the Spirit, hence causing no actual damages to his Spirit at all. If it wasn't only a torment though, then his life as a Mage would be no better than being over.

After all, the way for a Mage to cultivate was by using their Spirit. Making their Spirit absorb the Pure Mana in a Mana stone, or nourishing their Spirit by using resources or cultivation technique in order for their power as a Mage to increase.

"What the heck had happened to this guy. Is the Black Magic shop perhaps a hidden brothel or something of the likes?" Leo can't help but said before quickly getting into the public carriage that he had just hailed.

Just like all this time, the large Mana stone that Leo had was now put in a brown sack. Hence, no one could see anymore what was inside, unlike the net bags which were the same as using plastic.

Even if someone from the Black organization saw Leo, they would only suspect that the sack was a sack full of gold and silver coins, since he had just obviously sold the Magical Beast that he had hunted in a mission to the Sword and Magic.

.....

After less than 30 minutes of travel in a public carriage, Leo finally arrived at the villa.

Curiously, the villa this time was a lot brighter compared to the usual moment Leo would arrive. Hence, he quickly went inside to check the situation as to why the 4 girls had livened up the place today.

The moment Leo goes inside, though, he was immediately greeted by everyone from the Mischievous Lion faction and the Savage Foxes faction with party poppers and a birthday cake with a candle on top while being put up in front of him by Cassandra.

"Happy Birthday!" Cassandra said with a smile.

"Brother, why didn't you inform us about the date of your birthday? We could have prepared something much more grander than this time!" Alfred said as he put his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Here is my gift to you!" Justine said as he put forward a beautifully wrapped box in front of Leo.

"Mine!" Carlos said.

"Here's mine, too!" Michael said.

"....." The others from the Mischievous Lion faction and the Savage Foxes faction also gave their gifts one at a time.

Leo was feeling nostalgic while he stared at the smiling faces of his friends as he can't help but thought in his mind, "How many years had it been since the last time I experienced something like this? I think it was when I was still 7 years old or something, right...?"

It has indeed been a very long time since Leo experienced something like this. His birthday being celebrated by the people he knew or was only acquainted with his friends and family was something he had long forgotten.

To be honest, such joyous occasion such as a birthday celebration had long been buried in the deepest part of his mind, with him having no actual plans of ever pulling it out once again.

Actually, after the death of his parents and brother, a birthday celebration or any joyous occasion would only make him feel uncomfortable.

Often times, Butler Xiao, General Kevin, Fatty Ben, Van, and the others from Heart city, would plan to surprise him in the past. But, every time they do, he would just skip it and tell them to just continue the celebration themselves since he would always feel a sense of longing for his parents and his older brother every time he sees something like this.

After all, his birthday has always been celebrated with his parents and older brother's complete presence. But, ever since they died, such joyous occasions seem like incomplete or lacking for him. It just breaks his heart further into pieces. So, he tends to avoid it as it may unexpectedly cause him the last piece for his entire being to finally crumble and fall.

Unexpectedly, though, someone had actually dared to pull it out once again.

And although he, all the time, felt that sense of incomplete and lacking. This time however was really different.

It was like his parents and older brother, despite already gone, seem to fade away in the background once again, but were then quickly replaced by such happy and joyous new people.

It unexpectedly made him forget the sense of incomplete and lacking. It was like a seemingly empty jigsaw puzzle before, had its pieces suddenly slowly being put back in place once again. Only this time, though, it shows a different picture.

"I think celebrating now seems a bit late, right?" Leo said as he seems to look for the right mood to express himself in this situation. With 10 years or so with no joyous occasions such as this, it was only natural for him to be unable to find the right feeling to express.

"We know! But better be late than never, right?" Butler Xiao quickly explained as he slowly walked closer towards Leo along with Fatty Ben behind him.

Celebrating Leo's birthday today indeed seems to be really late. The truth was, his birthday was actually on the 10th day of the 7th month of every year, which was specifically the 3rd day of the 2nd week of this month, and today was the 4th day of the 3rd week, hence this celebration could only be described as really late.

Nevertheless, though, it was indeed still better to be late than never, right?

Although, Leo can't help but also imagine what General Kevin and Van's expression was at this moment since the two seem to be left out once again in such an important event.

Obviously, General Kevin and Van's feeling right now was agonizing and depressed because they had actually missed the day where their Young Master's birthday was finally celebrated in such a joyous way once again. Though, they also can't help but feel a little bit of joy, since their Young Master's life seems like to slowly return back around to what it had once been before.

Although, General Kevin and Van also knew that such a life of their Young Master like before would never come back once again. But still, doesn't it seem like their Young Master had already suffered in silence enough? Shouldn't it be the right time now for their Young Master to have back the life that he had once lost? Though with different people this time around, their Young Master's life should still move forward, right?

The past that Leo had gone through was not a chain that should bind him to be stuck forever in that place. It should instead be his inspiration or a reason in the present, hence to make him continue moving forward in the future.

At this moment, Leo seems to feel like one of the chains that had bound him in a really dark and endless place was suddenly broken, causing him to be able to finally move forward from a long time of being stuck in one place once again.

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a tear that had long been an unfamiliar reaction for Leo, had suddenly escaped from his eyes as it then slowly slid down on his face.

"Huh?" Leo unconsciously catches that teardrop with his hand before staring at it as he felt some sort of unfamiliar emotion.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Did you remember your parents and older brother once again?" Butler, Xiao said as he felt panic.

*Bang!

Fatty Ben immediately hit his head really hard to the floor to express his deepest apology, "Sorry, Young Master, it was me that had thought of a plan to celebrate your birthday once again!"

*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!

"No, no, no, it just... My body seems to suddenly break something that had always bounded me in one place. This tear is actually just my way of expressing my joy! Yes, my joy!" Leo said quickly as he wanted to stop Fatty Ben from hitting the floor any further with his own head.

"Oh..." Fatty Ben said as he immediately stopped hitting his head to the floor. Well, it was indeed the right time to stop now, since the floor was now already covered in his own blood, hence causing the joyous occasion to turn into some kind of horror or gruesome atmosphere.

"Hahaha, Let's just start celebrating!" Leo laughed as he received the cake from Cassandra and walk towards the backyard. From his place, he could already see that the backyard was already decorated for such a celebration.

At the side, Leo can't help but take a glimpse at a large box currently located near their staircase that was wrapped into a birthday present as he can't help but asked, "Whose gift is that?"

"Oh, that was delivered by the Sword and Magic this afternoon, they said that's Madam Silva's personal gift for you!" Cassandra immediately replied.

"Isn't it just me or does anyone else feel like Leo, is like a secret lover of Madam Silva, after seeing that large size gift!" Alfred suddenly said towards Michael, Adrian, Angelo, and Raffy, as all 4 of them let out a loud laugh soon after in agreement. Though their laughter was quickly stopped as the 4 of them received a murderous stare by the Sword and Magic soldiers currently guarding the villa, "That was just a joke, right? Right? Hehehe..."

"Eh?! Is there some sort of relationship between Leo and the Head of all the Sword and Magic branches in Silver Kingdom?" Justine quickly asked as he felt really curious about the reason why Sword and Magic gave Leo such a large gift, and it was actually described as a personal gift of Madam Silva too, the Head of all the Sword and Magic branches of Silver Kingdom. Obviously, for her to give such a personal gift, it only means to say that the Madam Silva and Leo have a really close relationship, "I need to further deepen my relationship with Leo!"

"Don't you know..." Alfred quickly started explaining.

Leo just ignored them though as he walked towards the table where the food was prepared and put down the cake.

"Why don't you make a wish before blowing the candle?" Cassandra suggested soon after Leo put down the cake.

Leo nodded his head as a reply before he turned his head towards the cake and made a wish in his mind, "I wish..."

The birthday celebration continued after Leo blew off the fire on the candle along with the secret wish that he had just made....
