The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"determine."

Hazel's pretty face hardened, and she nodded seriously.

"Looks like we were a step too late."

Leon sighed softly.

If Dora's predictive abilities had been interfered with earlier... although she would still have found E-Zero City, since she already knew that Helena had fled in the north, she would most likely have connected it to the Snow City, and getting to the Snow City required passing through the E-Zero Grassland and crossing the E-Zero Mountains.

But at least she won't lock onto Izero City so early, which would give her and Helena more time to prepare.

"So, Your Highness, what do you think... we should do now?"

When Hazel said this, she hesitated slightly at the pronunciation of "you think," but ultimately added "we" afterward.

Helena was Hazel's great benefactor, and Hazel herself regarded Helena as her best friend.

Therefore, as long as Leon is helping Helena, she and Leon will always be on the same side.

"Yes, what should we do..."

How to do?

How am I supposed to know what to do?

I'm just an ordinary college student in the new century, someone who only knows how to hide under the covers at night and ignore the risks to continue installing things!

The original anime didn't include the scene where Hibots chased Helena all the way to Zero City!

Originally, it was just that idiot Jack wandering around in circles near Guberland!

After Helena took revenge on the original owner of the body and escaped from the palace, there was absolutely no risk of her being caught and brought back!

Now it's basically completely detached from the original storyline, so the bug of knowing the subsequent plot on your own can be considered useless.

Leon stood up and paced around the sofa.

Leon...

It seems he was telling the truth.

His love for Helena was indeed genuine.

His anxious demeanor couldn't possibly be feigned.

in case……

If I were in danger

Would he worry about me like that too?

Watching Leon pace anxiously beside the sofa, Hazel felt a pang of sadness. Something that once belonged to her was now someone else's, even though it was her best friend... she just couldn't shake the feeling.

hetuituitui!

No, why should I think about these things!

I have no reason to care about him!

Whoever he loves!

Hazel quickly composed herself.

It's clear that relying on understanding the plot to launch a devastating attack, as before, is no longer an option.

My greatest advantage as a transmigrator—"knowing the plot"—is now useless!

and so……

From now on, we can only truly rely on ourselves?

but……

How did I manage to beat those seasoned veterans?

The world's corrective force is forcibly increasing the difficulty of its own survival.

Leon was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly miserable.

But there was no time for grief; he had to find a way to solve the immediate problem.

but……

What to do, what ...!

Leon felt as if he had woken up to find himself transported back to that day, and his emotions were somewhat overwhelmed.

“Leon… don’t worry too much. Helena is very smart. She should be fine. You—you still have me.”

Suddenly, Hazel, who was sitting on the sofa, walked over to Leon's side.

Seeing Leon pacing anxiously like that, Hazel felt she couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she took the initiative to go up and comfort him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Hazel, I lost my composure."

It was only then that Leon realized that his sudden standing up and turning around seemed rather impolite.

"Since you know you lost your temper, why don't you calm down a bit?"

Hazel didn't give Leon a friendly look.

What a clueless, wooden-headed guy!

idiot!

Can't he grasp the key point in my words, "You still have me"?

"Um, I'm sorry, Miss Hayden—please have a seat."

After taking several deep breaths, Leon finally calmed down. He apologized to Hazel and then invited her to sit back down in her original seat.

"Miss Hayden, what are your thoughts?"

After Hazel sat down again, Leon also sat back down. His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to hear Hazel's opinion.

"I...I'm thinking about it too."

Hazel spoke with a hint of embarrassment, and her answer surprised Leon.

I thought that she, being so intelligent, would have a good solution.

But thinking about it, it's normal. This kind of thing is too sudden. Even I, a transmigrator, find it troublesome. Asking Hazel to come up with a solution is just making things difficult for her.

So, you still have to rely on yourself...

It really proves Chairman Mao's saying: "Self-reliance leads to abundance."

"alright."

Leon smiled.

He quickly calmed down.

With his current abilities, Izero City is too far from Guberlan, and it would be difficult for him to have any influence there.

Furthermore, I'm not sure how far Chad and the others have progressed, let alone Helena's exact location.

So it seems urgent, but actually there doesn't seem to be anything to be in a hurry for.

Chad and Dora's attempt to catch Helena in such a large city, without knowing her exact location, is not an easy task.

After all, when it comes to gambling on luck, no one can beat the protagonist.

Therefore, the only way to capture Helena is through strength.

In that case, Chad and his men would still have to rely on the local government forces.

All I need to do is find a way to disrupt the local government!

The mayor of I-Zero City is...

If I remember correctly, it should be Bart.

Bart...

As he analyzed it, Leon gradually got a clue.

"Miss Hayden, how well does the Hayden family hold a foothold in Izero City?"

Leon turned his gaze to Hazel, who had been sitting silently beside him, her delicate face tense as she pondered how to respond.

"Your Highness—I don't know."

Hazel wasn't close enough to Leon to share the rich history of Hayden House.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and offended you."

Leon was telling the truth this time. He had indeed spoken in a moment of haste and had no intention of taking advantage of Hayden's estate.

“Miss Hayden, please sit here and wait for me.”

Leon quickly got up and walked to his desk to sit down.

He quickly adjusted the quill pen, spread out the paper, and then began to write furiously.

What is Leon trying to do?

Hazel looked at Leon with a puzzled expression, and that look lasted for almost twenty minutes.

"Your Highness Leon..."

Even with her handsome face, Hazel was getting tired.

"It's coming soon."

Leon ran his fingers through his smooth, blond hair, as if he were working on a calculus problem, thinking and writing something at the same time.

About two more minutes passed.

Leon walked up to Hazel.

"This is--"

Hazel took the letter from Leon, and after just one glance, her stunningly beautiful face trembled like a pear blossom. "A whistleblower letter! You want to accuse the mayor, the deputy mayor, and other officials of Illo City of corruption!"

Playing so big? !

"Yes, have the people in Hayden Prefecture rewrite this letter of complaint, add their signatures, and send it to me through the proper expedited channel."

Leon looked at Hazel intently.

This way, he could use the pretext of investigating and rectifying the collective corruption of local officials to personally go to Iling City and cause trouble.

Want to capture Helena?

LOL! Just wait until I, Leon, turn your little city of Illidan upside down!

At that time, those corrupt officials will be too busy taking care of themselves to cooperate with Chad in arresting people!

There was no other way. Leon didn't really want to make such a big fuss, but he really had no choice. He couldn't let these guys bring Helena back no matter what, so he had to bite the bullet and go for it.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be Leon's first political confrontation, and a bloody battle is likely to follow.

"But if we do that, the people that Hayden Prefecture has placed in Izero City will be exposed..."

Hazel hesitated.

If Leon fails to oust the Bart Party in Illo, the foundation that Hayden House has built up over many years in Illo may be uprooted by Bart and his group, which would be a huge loss for Hayden House.

However... if it's for Helena.

Someone always has to make a sacrifice.

“Miss Hayden, I know your worries right now. Please believe me, I will definitely bring down the Bart Party and make the brave man who wrote the real-name whistleblower the mayor.”

Leon quickly made grand promises.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Although it might not be so easy for Leon to bring down Bart, who had been based in Izero City for many years, for some reason, Hazel couldn't help but want to believe in Leon.

"Okay, go ahead."

Leon nodded slightly.

"Then I'm leaving?"

Hazel rose.
