Seeing Leo Ray turn and leave, all of our strong allies naturally followed suit without a moment's hesitation.

Including the two Tier 6 elder presidents, everyone clearly understood that Leo Ray represented the highest authority of the Human Clan and held the fate of all humanity in his hands. Every step he took required utmost diligence, especially when stepping into the unknown Outer Region.

Therefore, even in the face of opponents who clearly just wanted to use the Human Clan as pawns without being candid, no matter how amiable they seemed, Leo Ray would never let it be. Though removed from the Outer Region for ages, the Human Clan, despite limited power, had never bowed their heads.

Realizing this, everyone felt a surge of inspiration. With the unyielding Leo Ray as the helm of the Human World, the uncertain future indeed shone with a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, the Administrator's anxious voice rang out again from behind our group, "Your Majesty, as long as the Gravity Polyhedron Crystal is revealed, the Shadow Market will owe Your Majesty a favor, you should know its significance!"

Upon hearing, Leo Ray's steps did not pause for a moment.

Just as we had discussed earlier, given how the other party had gone to great lengths to have us exert ourselves, it showed great desire for the Gravity Polyhedron Crystal and difficulty in obtaining it by other means. Therefore, such an empty promise was undoubtedly insufficient.

Only by having the other party speak frankly and reveal the truth could we truly gain the upper hand in negotiations, and only then could we better assess the future situation and derive more benefits from the other party.

"I must ensure the other party clearly understands my intentions; only then will they be compelled to relent."

Although Leo Ray outwardly appeared calm, he harbored some trepidation within.

In other words, he was now in a game with the other party, revolving around their desire for the Gravity Polyhedron Crystal. As long as they faltered, we would naturally win this match.

Sure enough, as Leo Ray walked a hundred meters away, just about to soar off, the Administrator's anxious yet resigned voice finally sounded again.

"Your Majesty, please wait, I am willing to reveal the truth, please do not take the Gravity Polyhedron Crystal away!"

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray finally sighed in relief internally.

The Shadow Market was key to repairing the Land of Divine Favor and a crucial bridge to entering the Outer Region. If missed, he would undoubtedly face a dire predicament and would have to return, but fortunately, the other party conceded first.

Despite the inner turmoil, Leo Ray's expression remained calm as he slowly led everyone back.

"I underestimated Your Majesty's determination."

When they were close, the Administrator's somewhat awkward voice immediately rang out, "I must say, from the beginning at The Demonic Shadow Forest, Your Majesty swiftly ruling over the entire Human World proved truly extraordinary."

"You're too kind, Your Excellency. Does this mean you've been observing me for quite some time?"

Leo Ray lightly smiled and casually inquired.

"About when a small group of 2,500 Half-Orcs quietly invaded The Demonic Shadow Forest."

The Administrator responded with a raspy voice filled with respect, "At that time, I never imagined that Your Majesty would forge ahead to today and eventually be crowned as the Emperor of the Human Race."

"Well, wasn't that just as I arrived?"

The words filled Leo Ray with surprise.

Unexpectedly, amidst his conquests, there was such a remarkable force observing from the shadows, which was quite unnerving.

"Please, Your Majesty, do not worry. We are merely observers and have always maintained some distance from Your Majesty, as well as your former opponents. We have never left the market, which is an unbreakable rule of the market that no one can defy."

Noticing the slight change in Leo Ray's demeanor, the Administrator quickly explained, "After all, the market, like the Human Clan's three former Neutral Organizations, has never participated in the struggles of the Ten Thousand Clans, maintaining our position as a trade connector for Three Thousand Years. The market's credibility is indisputable."

Feeling not genuine enough, the Administrator added, "Presumably, Your Majesty has also noticed the hidden mysteries within the Shadow Market invitation. Therefore, even when sending invitations, we have never left the market."

The Administrator flipped his palm, revealing a brand new market invitation, and continued to explain.

"Every invitation from the Shadow Market is imbued with two non-offensive mystical spells."

"The first is the Following Spell, which keeps the invitation in an almost invisible state, always hovering near the target until it lands automatically at a specific location."

"The second is the Font Synchronization Spell, allowing remote real-time content updates on the invitation, revealing the specific date on the blank spot promptly."

Hearing the Administrator's explanation, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

No wonder the invitation suddenly appeared in the King's Hall of Lion Castle. As it turns out, there was no so-called Messenger, but after the rampaging roots concluded, someone with access to the King's Hall unwittingly brought it in.
