Leon slept for three days straight, so when he woke up, he was starving. Luckily, it was time for breakfast, and he could smell Amanda's home cooking. In the kitchen, Leon saw Amanda and Maya eating.
"Morning," Leon said.
"The hero is finally awake," Amanda smiled. "You slept like a rock the past few days that we could hear your snore from all over the house."
"I don't snore... probably," Leon patted Maya's head. "Where is everybody?"
"They are cleaning the city," Amanda answered. "The number of demons and monsters is too high; if we leave them alone, the smell will cause diseases."
"Do we have enough hands for that?" Leon asked.
"Yes, fifty soldiers from New York came to help us," Amanda said. "You asked for their help, right? Anyway, we have another problem."
"What problem?" Leon frowned.
"Some survivors are questioning why you didn't help us earlier," Amanda explained. "The power of those two rings is unbelievable, so they thought they could avoid a lot of deaths if you had stayed with us. Some people recognized from the first time you came and then know that you are my brother."
"That equipment I got from William, Sanchez, and Alisson," Leon said. " If I had those before I would have let them in your hands."
"I know that, and that is why I explained that you left the Angelic Bow and the Grim Reaper Scythe when they heard that they calmed down a little since thanks to those we managed to buy a lot of time. Although I said that we have a problem, this situation should solve itself. The survivors are only upset because everyone lost some friends."
"I see… how many civilians died?" Leon asked.
"Only seven, the fact that you are also the reason that most people here can use earth manipulation is helping to calm down the nerves," Amanda explained. "Thanks to that kind of magic, people managed to create underground shelters under their homes. That is why we avoided a catastrophe."
"That's good, but that makes me wonder why you two didn't create one under your home," Leon said. "Sasha had a hard time against the dark slimes."
"We should have done that, but in the last months, we didn't have time," Amanda said. "Anyway, brother… can I ask why did you let the directors in that situation? We can't feed them, and we barely managed to give them water."
"That is more than enough; those guys are lucky to be alive," Leon said. "They used two of my friends as hostages, and they also blinded one of them. I had a tough time controlling myself not to kill them while I was traveling.
"I see… I don't remember seeing you so angry," Amanda said. "So, I guess they deserve that."
"Well, when Hector said that he had married you, I almost did the same to him," Leon smirked.
"Don't ever think of that…" Amanda warned.
Leon laughed and then started to eat. He stuffed his stomach until he got sick of it, even though Leon wanted to help, he had a few things to do. First of all, he needed to deliver the prisoners to Makoto, and after that, he had to check things in New York. Sarah sent help, but he still had to confirm things with his own eyes. Besides, he also was interested in how William managed to create magic items and choppers that used mana. That kind of information he would find in New York.
After breakfast, Leon went to San Diego to deliver the 'packages' to Makoto. Once again, he found the transporter in the middle of the day.
"Those are?" The transporter asked.
"William, Sanchez and Alisson," Leon said. "The founders of the Allied Forces of North-America. You are already probably aware, but they managed to get their hands on some powerful equipment. I think before executing them, His Majesty should 'ask' them where they got those."
"Don't worry; we will." The transporter said. "His Majesty was quite pleased when I gave him the other six prisoners. However, he was quite troubled when I said that you wanted him to forgive someone. When do you intend to visit him?"
"In three or four days, I still have a few things to solve in New York," Leon answered. "By the way… do you guys only collect information here? I don't think His Majesty would give the order to cause dungeon breaks, but is there a chance of some Japanese spy causing that even without orders?"
"… I can't deny that possibility," The transporter closed his eyes. "However, if that kind of thing happened, it should end, at least from our hands. We have information that spies from other nations are causing dungeon breaks all over the world."
"Their identities…" Leon said.
"It is impossible to identify them since they cover their faces when they are working in the shadows." The transporter explained.
"I suspected as much…" Leon said.
After that, Leon returned to Las Vegas to have lunch. He was still starving, and Amanda's food was much better than anything Leon ever made. Since Betty was probably helping Hector and the others, Leon decided to leave her behind. Besides, he would fly slower, transporting someone else.
"Considering that I will have to bring her to Tokyo no matter what, I should let her rest as much as possible. There is also the matter that her friends betrayed her… she needs some time to think things through."
Leon's job was about to end. However, he already knew a goal, and without a doubt, he will have a hard time reaching that goal. He would train to obtain the power to heal Gisela's eyes. That was the least he could do after causing her so much trouble.
