He knew well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Leo slightly raised the corner of his mouth. As expected, Robin was a smart man.

"It's simple, just join my Dalton."

"Dalton?"

Robin mulled over the name, his mind flashing with countless thoughts, his expression changing several times.

Finally, he took a deep breath and decisively nodded.

"Alright! I'll join!"

He trusted his judgment and instincts.

This time, he was betting his future on it!

Leo smiled in satisfaction and grabbed Robin's shoulder.

The next moment, both of them reappeared at the city gates.

When Albert and Wendell saw Leo bringing back a stranger, their faces showed confusion.

"Sir, who is this?"

Leo smiled. "We'll talk more once we're inside the city."

He extended his finger and gently touched the indestructible light barrier.

The barrier rippled like water, opening a small entrance that allowed only a few people to pass.

"Come on in."

Leo led Robin and stepped through first.

Albert and Wendell exchanged a glance before following closely behind, with Selas in tow.

Outside the barrier, those who witnessed the scene were immediately stunned!

"They... they got in?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Damn it, the entrance is too small, we can't make it in time!"

"Why were they able to get in? Could it be that they are already people of the city?!"

"..."

In the days before, only a mysterious girl had been rumored to have successfully entered, and no one else had managed to break through the barrier.

But now, five people, including someone who had been waiting outside like them, had so easily gotten in!?

For a moment, the minds of the onlookers outside the city began to stir.

Various speculations and plans began to form silently.

Inside the city.

The moment they stepped inside, the group was immediately stunned into silence by the sight before them!

The residents of the city were few, but everything else—from the architecture, the energy concentration, the strength of the laws, to the environment—was beyond their imagination!

The scarcity of residents was clearly due to the light barrier blocking outsiders.

Wendell and Albert's faces grew increasingly filled with shock and delight.

Had they known that Dalton was such a place, Albert probably wouldn't have hesitated and would have chosen to join immediately.

Though Selas didn't understand magic, she could still feel the city's extraordinary nature intuitively.

As for Robin, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter!

He had won his bet!

At that moment, dozens of powerful auras surged from deep within the city, rapidly heading toward the city gates!

Sensing these auras, Wendell immediately protected Selas behind him, his expression alert.

Albert raised an eyebrow, ready to respond.

However, Robin stood calmly, a look of anticipation on his face.

The next moment, over twenty figures appeared before Leo, with Vincent and others at the forefront.

"We greet President!"

Upon seeing Leo return, Vincent and the others were all smiles, filled with genuine joy and respect.

They hadn't expected President Leo to return so quickly.

Leo nodded slightly, about to speak when a bright, joyful voice came from a distant corridor.

"Dad! You're back!"

Leo turned his gaze toward the voice.

He saw Lilith happily running toward him, holding the hand of a strange girl.

But when Leo's eyes landed on the unfamiliar girl, his smile instantly froze.

Buzz—

Without hesitation, Leo waved his hand.

A gentle yet powerful force immediately enveloped Lilith, bringing her back to his side.

"Dad? What's wrong?"

Lilith looked at Leo in confusion.

But Leo's gaze was fixed firmly on the smiling girl in front of him.

His voice became low and serious.

"Who are you?"

At that moment, Leo could clearly sense that the girl was at the Supreme Saint level, and had already reached its peak!

Looking around at the many starfields nearby, such power could be called invincible.

This was the first time Leo had personally encountered someone of this rank.

A powerful and mysterious figure deliberately approaching his daughter—Leo would definitely investigate this.

Meanwhile, Wendell and Albert's expressions became serious as they kept a tight watch on Eileen.

Though they were both at Sanctuary Lord rank, there was still a vast gap between them and a Supreme Saint, and they knew exactly how formidable Eileen was.

At this moment, if Eileen made a single wrong move, they would act without hesitation, even knowing they were no match for her.

Hearing Leo's question, Eileen's eyes flickered with an almost imperceptible tremor, but she quickly regained her composure.

"My name is Eileen, and I'm Lilith's good friend."

Eileen smiled at Leo, still wearing that innocent and bright expression.

Upon hearing this, Leo let out a cold sneer.

Did she really think he was an easygoing person?

Leo's aura shifted slightly, and the very structure of space around him underwent a bizarre transformation!

Seeing this, Eileen's face changed drastically, and she immediately attempted to cast magic.

But in the next instant, both Leo and Eileen disappeared from their original positions without a trace!

Seeing this, Vincent and the others inside the city paused for a moment, then relaxed.

Since President Leo had personally intervened, it would certainly be foolproof.

If even President Leo couldn't solve it, their interference would be pointless.

Lilith also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dad was finally back!

Ever since Eileen first entered the city, she had sensed the girl's ill intentions.

Her previous closeness had only been a stalling tactic. The fact that Eileen could ignore Leo's protective barrier showed that her strength was unfathomable.

It was too risky to confront her head-on, and even Vincent and the others might not be able to defeat her.

But now that her father was back, this hidden danger would finally be dealt with!

Her gaze shifted to the newcomers her father had brought.

When she saw Selas standing beside Wendell, she paused for a moment.

Dad brought a woman back?

But the next moment, she brightened up and walked over with a smile.

"Hello!"

Wendell and the others were momentarily taken aback when they saw Lilith.

Before they could speak, Robin immediately dropped to one knee with a loud thud and said in a booming voice,

"Subordinate Robin, greetings, Miss!"

Everyone: ??

Even Lilith was a bit caught off guard.

He really knows how to play the part, doesn't he?

"Uh, please, get up,"

"Thank you, Miss!"

Robin loudly replied, then stood up.

He had clearly heard that the beautiful girl called Leo "Dad."

And the people inside the city referred to Leo as "President."

Though he didn't know exactly what "President" meant, he quickly deduced Leo's identity.

He was the master of this godly city!

So, the girl in front of him must be the master's daughter!

If he didn't show his loyalty now, when else would he?

Wendell and the others quickly understood and bowed to Lilith.

"Greetings, Miss."

Lilith nodded, but her gaze was fixed intently on Selas, standing beside Wendell.

"Cough, may I ask who this sister is...?"

Selas slightly bent her body and softly replied,

"My name is Selas, and..."

She glanced at Wendell beside her, her cheeks turning slightly pink.

"I am Wendell's wife."

Upon hearing this, Lilith immediately relaxed, grateful that things were not as she had imagined.

She then cheerfully took Selas's hand and led her aside to chat.

After spending so many days playing along with Eileen, always on edge, and pretending to be clueless, it had been suffocating.

But if Eileen knew Lilith's thoughts, she would probably scoff.

All she needed to do was tone it down a little to seem convincing!
