BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82 - Leona’s Growth
"Yeah. This is not the first time. It started last month when I came back from a week-long mission from the guild. I may have been running the loansharking business but I am not someone who will literally f*ck up my customers. It\'s more like a money lending business but has a higher interest rate. Since my methods are not legal, my business is also a loansharking business still. But that doesn\'t mean I resort to extreme methods. For people to ask money for me again, I will make sure to help them and get a bit higher interest rate in return.
There are many people who have a debt in me managed to pay them off after a few months, allowing them to be able to breathe easy with my interest rate. I have a good reputation in this business and I am well known by many villagers secretly due to this. But it plummeted a bit after those false claims about debts that have been paid already to exist again and trouble the client just like your client\'s situation," Hyde explained.
"So you want me to help in finding this culprit then?"
"If you are free and willing to do so, then yes."
"I see. Then, I will assist you. If this will solve the problem of my client, I will surely help."
"Then, monitor Daniel\'s Wife for now and wait. If he was planning to collect the nonexistent debt from them, then the perpetrator will surely appear. That will be our time to strike. Of course, I am not asking you to do this for free. If we successfully captured the perpetrator of this frame-up, I will reward you for what its worth."
...
After a lengthy discussion on how to capture the culprit of this incident, I left the pub and recollect my thoughts about this matter. It is now tangled up and I have managed to dig deeper into this case. To think Hyde is just another victim in this quest. I am amazed by how the developers and writers managed to do this stuff. It was like they already programmed everyone to do their parts without any hassle.
I was on the way back to the inn so that I can already set up on how to catch the culprit when my interface has a notification on it. When I clicked the notification, I found out it was a notification from Leona.
Currently, Leona is still an infant and cannot level yet. But due to the tricks, I did to advance her level without having her in adult form caused her to go into slumber for a few days. I lost track of days for her growth due to the overlapping things happening after the patch. I just realized that today is the day she will undergo the Adult growth ceremony.
Since this matter is not yet viable for me to reveal in public yet due to how enormous a gryphon is, it will only cause panic to the NPCs around instead of awe and praises. Gryphon is a boss in this game after all and letting one appear will just cause the guards to attack and the whole populace to panic and cause chaos.
...
[You have discovered Solan Highlands]
It\'s not that far from the Capital and the area is quiet due to the level 30 to 40 monsters lingering in here and since players are not that high of a level yet, farming in this place and I am already high enough level to kill the mobs here, its a perfect place for me to hide Leona and let her grow up without any disturbance to anyone.
"Leona, its time for you to awaken!"
Unsealing her from the pet space where pets are contained, she suddenly emerged flying with her wings. She flew so fast that it created a small gust of wind in the surroundings and most of the monsters nearby who are just in neutral status against me are immediately killed. I am unaffected since I was the owner of Leona. Even my party members and NPC followers will also be unaffected by it if I have one right now but everyone outside of that will be immediately blown away and if they managed to hold themselves on the ground.
"What the hell..." I muttered as I stare at Leona.
My expectations of Leona\'s size would be around the size of a pickup truck but what I am seeing right now is Leona in a size similar to a truck. She was big, no, big is an understatement.
She is huge.
Leona\'s size is much bigger compared to the normal gryphon you can encounter in the mountainous areas. The boss version of the Gryphon is just a far cry in terms of the size of Leona. Even I didn\'t expect the size of Leona to come into this. After flying for a while, Leona returned and landed in front of me. After that, her panel popped out.

I rubbed my eyes when I read the stats panel and the tier of Leona. Leona as a baby is just a legendary tier but now that she became an adult, she has transcended that limit and became mythical! Her species also changed from Gryphon to Queen Gryphon which is the first time I have heard of. Aside from that, she also gained 10,000 points on her HP and MP which is already high.
Her level was also reset back to zero despite gaining quite a lot of levels when she was still a baby after I let her devour enemy corpses. Still, her stats are pretty high for a level zero! 200 Stat points are already absurd, but when you see all of the stat points of her stats are in 200, it was already too strong for a level zero pet! Isn\'t it too broken?
