After drinking the **[Mint Tea]**, Leon didn’t immediately discard the “antidote” candy. Instead, he carefully stored it in a small box for safekeeping.

This was his backup plan.

The “Fate of All” event involving the **[Alchemy Room Disease]** had appeared so suddenly and suspiciously that Leon needed to be extra cautious.

He couldn’t be completely sure if his eldest sister had given him a genuine antidote, and he couldn’t afford to gamble on it either. So, he preemptively drank the **[Mint Tea]** he’d originally planned to save for the later stages of the game to remove the current negative effects of the disease.

If it turned out his sister was indeed trustworthy, he’d have a safe antidote he could use later.

All in all, this was a cautious move on Leon’s part.

Of course, he owed this clever idea to Rosvisser.

If she hadn’t given him the **[Mint Tea]**, Leon would likely still be agonizing over whether or not to take the antidote.

After a brief rest, Leon left his room again.

He went to the communal kitchen, retrieved the Black Sacred Stone he had hidden beneath the water tank, and then headed to the main hall on the first floor. After glancing around to ensure no one was around, Leon hid the Black Sacred Stone in a suit of guard armor near the entrance of the conference room.

This was something he had noted during the meeting that morning. The main hall on the first floor only had the conference room as a feature; there were no other task or fate-triggering scenes here. So, unlike the communal kitchen, this place was deserted outside meeting times, making it a relatively safe hiding spot.@@novelbin@@

After securing the Black Sacred Stone, Leon returned upstairs.

Coincidentally, he ran into his daughters from the [Friends Group].

Moon and Aurora, hand in hand, spotted Leon from the end of the hallway.

“Daddy!”

Moon’s sweet voice called out as she tugged Aurora along, running over to him.

Leon squatted down and asked with a smile, “What’s up? Doing a task?”

“Mhm! But it’s a three-person task, so we wanted to ask Daddy to join us,” Moon explained.
