Chapter 412 - Interrogation Room

After the strong spatial aura dissipated, Leon began making his way over and gave Darlene's inner self a quick diagnosis with his divine sense.

He was relieved to see that she has broken all the through to 1-Star Ranked Awakener Realm smoothly and without any lingering problems.

Seeing Darlene kept her eyes closed, Leon smiled and softly said, "You can open your eyes."

"How are you feeling?" He asks.

Darlene felt a bit disorientated and confused, but after a moment, she adjusted and recovered. She started feeling the changes to her body before her eyes lit up with joy.

"I felt like I am overflowing with energy!"

"That is because you have broken through many levels and reached 1-Star Ranked Awakener Realm in a single cultivation session—no, it was not even a session. It only lasted a few moments. You won't have this kind of effect the next time you cultivate. Even so, this kind of speed can be said to be heaven-defying and invites the envy of others."

"Uwaaa~! Thank you, hubby!" Darlene exclaimed joyfully and leaped into Leon's arms, giving him many pecks on the cheeks while oblivious to her surroundings.

She did not know how strong the 1-Star Ranked Awakener Realm was, but the feeling of becoming much stronger made her heart bursting with joy. She began to look forward to the future with hopeful expectations. She was not useless!

Seeing how overjoyed Darlene was reacting, Leon found her to be very cute at this moment.

"Ahem!"

Chief Valencia interrupted Darlene with a cough, causing her to be startled. Seeing so many pairs of eyes glancing in her direction, she became mildly embarrassed. She distanced herself from Leon to calm herself down.

"Your strength should be around the same level as a person in the early Fighter Realm, but the spatial ability will give you an edge over them. Why don't you go there and practice on your own for now, while I deal with Chief Valencia?" Leon said to her.

Darlene subtly glanced at Chief Valencia, who was giving a vague 'I'll be talking to you later' before she nodded compliantly to Leon, "Mm, I will listen to you."

She briefly hesitated before giving him another peck on the cheek before running off to practice and adjust to her new strength in the corner of the courtyard.

"Are all Void Bodies able to become like her…?" Chief Valencia carefully asked, unsure if her question was touching upon a sensitive topic to Leon.

She vaguely sensed the power coming from within Darlene. It was still weak and insignificant compared to her own strength, but it gave her a strange and cautious feeling. In any case, Darlene was no longer as useless as she used to be.

She had been completely transformed by Leonhardt and bloomed brilliantly like some peerless treasured flower coming into being.

"It should be possible for all Void Bodies to unlock this ability, but whether they can reach the same level as Darlene in a short time is another matter," Leon explained.

Chief Valencia was surprised and thought of something before she shook her head. She did not believe his words. If Darlene could do it, it should be the same for every other Void Bodies too.

"Little Brother Leonhardt has not been entirely honest with me. This must be the real reason you wanted those other female servants with Void Bodies, right? I suddenly regret giving them away to you so easily." Chief Valencia said with half a smile.

She believed Leonhardt had the method to awaken all the female servants' special abilities with Void Bodies. This would give him a group of people with strange powers.

"You can choose not to believe it if you want. I truly just asked for them to satisfy Darlene's wishes." Leon said in response with a nonchalant shrug.

Unless he also popped the cherries of these female servants and enjoy intensive copulation with all of them, the chances of them breaking through to 1-Star Ranked Awakener Realm upon awakening was very slim.

"All of you, leave."

Chief Valencia smiled wryly and dispersed the crowd watching from afar, outside of the courtyard. After they left, she curiously asks, "I wonder if Little Brother Leonhardt is willing to talk more about this 1-Star Ranked Awakener Realm? What kind of realm is that?"

"It is the realm of an entirely different cultivation system."

"No doubt, Little Brother Leonhardt also has the method to practice this set of new cultivation system, right? Is Little Brother Leonhardt willing to sell this method to me?" Chief Valencia asked with interest.

Leon gave Chief Valencia a profound smile and said, "That depends on how much Chief Valencia is willing to pay for it. However, let us put aside this matter for now. This isn't the best place to discuss this."

Chief Valencia quickly agreed with this point.

"Chief Valencia should have another reason for coming to see me, right?"

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot this matter, now that you've mentioned it. But before that, is true that Little Brother Leonhardt used some uncanny ability to remove the demon core from Old Tailor's son and cure his Demon Possession disease?"

Leon rubbed his chin and said, "Why ask what you already know? You should have already validated this information from Old Tailor himself, no?"

"That is correct, but I just wanted to confirm with the person in question myself. It's important, so I hope Little Brother Leonhardt can answer truthfully." Chief Valencia requested with a respectful tone.

"Un."

"That's great!"

After Leon gave Chief Valencia the silent nod of admittance, Chief Valencia clapped her hands together.

She proceeded to explain, "We've caught a few spies from the Great Ironhawk Tribe, but we have also been unable to extract any information from them. I thought Little Brother Leonhardt might be interested in knowing, considering they have been making attempts on your life."

"Brother Woodrow—Ahem, you weren't able to obtain any information from them even with the help of Master Woodrow and his hypnotic mysticism?" Leon asked with surprise.

He figured that they would be able to extract any information they seek from a person they target with this ability.

Leon did not doubt that Chief Valencia had already learned the awakening cultivation system and ranks from his adoptive mother and other ex-disciples.

For example, the reason she still asked him about it was to lead him into the topic and probe his willingness to sell his own cultivation method to her.

"We did request the Venerable Shaman's assistance in the matter. However, it was useless. There's a big problem stopping us from proceeding with the interrogation process."

"And I supposed this big problem is something I can deal with, is that right?" Leon presumed.

Chief Valencia nodded but shortly shook her head after.

"I am not too certain. However, if Little Brother Leonhardt cannot solve it, then I do not think anyone in this tribe can. How about it, Little Brother Leonhardt? Are you interested in paying a visit to the prison cell with me?"

"Alright, just give me a moment." Leon agreed.

"Of course, there's no hurry."

Leon returned to Darlene's side and said, "Come with me. We will be taking a trip to the palace. We can also pick up your sisters on the way back."

"Right now? Are you find going out like this, hubby?" Darlene asked in surprise and glanced down at his soaking wet and dirtied pants. "How about taking a quick bath while I wash the dirty clothes for you, hubby? Will the chief be fine with waiting?"

Leon pondered for a moment before he nodded in agreement, "It should be fine. Let us do as you suggested."

After giving Chief Valencia a heads up, he entered the room to undress and enter the cold wooden bathtub. At the same time, the dirtied wet clothes were taken away by Darlene to wash.

About ten minutes later, Leon exited the room in a fresh set of clothes. Darlene was still washing Leon's clothes, but he did not plan to keep the chief waiting further.

"Come, you can continue to wash it later."

"Ah—!"

Darlene was happily washing Leon's manually over a small wooden bucket of water when she was suddenly lifted and carried away by Leon.

Chief Valencia mentioned that they had caught some spies, meaning there were still more enemies out there. It was too dangerous to leave Darlene home alone, lest they decide to move against her to get to him.

After they met up with the chief outside the courtyard, Chief Valencia nodded to Leon. She had no problem with Darlene tagging along and asks, "Ready?

Leon nodded back.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived within the interrogation room next to the prison cells, located under the colossal amphitheater next to the palace.

The place reeked with a strong smell of blood and all sorts of torture tools hung on the sidewalls. However, none of these were currently needed with Master Woodrow around.

"We meet again, Little Brother Leonhardt."

"Yes, much sooner than I expected, Brother Woodrow." Leon and Master Woodrow greeted each other with a handshake.

"Oho, quite the firm grip you got there. I see that you have become much stronger in the short time frame since we last met." Master Woodrow said with surprise.

Leon smiled without commenting.

Chief Valencia gave Leon a quick glance. She also felt the changes to Leonhardt's body. However, she had not said anything until because Darlene's changes came as a greater shock to her.

"So, what is the problem with these two people, that it would render Brother Woodrow helpless from extracting information from them?" Leon gazed towards the center of the room and asked.

Two warriors laid on top of stone beds at the center of the room, bound and unconscious… This was to prevent them from resisting and committing suicide.
