The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Fortunately, because the original owner liked to conduct fancy magical experiments, Leon didn't have many advanced and powerful magic spells, but he was quite skilled at all sorts of random spells like underwater breathing and lava bathing.

The seabed in this area is not very deep, with various trenches, corals, and some fish that Leon recognizes but cannot name.

These fish were much bolder than freshwater fish. Even as Leon swam past them, he remained leisurely and unhurried, like a fish that had nothing to do. If they were freshwater fish, they would probably have already disappeared before he even got close.

Near the Adventurer's shipwreck, there is an even larger shipwreck. This ship has obviously been submerged in seawater for much longer than the Adventurer, judging from the degree of corrosion by salt, it has been submerged for no more than six months.

The ship bore various signs of being pried open, indicating that the pirates had already sneaked inside. All the gold and silver treasures inside had been looted, leaving only some corpses stuck in the ruins. These corpses were not intact; the exposed skeletons were eerie and terrifying, being pecked at by small scavenging marine creatures.

Leon wasn't playing the role of a wish-fulfillment character; he was a villainous scoundrel, so naturally he didn't have Helena's luck. Therefore, he gained almost nothing from the ruins.

Colonel Ferrandi also discovered some valuable items that the pirates had left behind.

Leon wasn't interested in money, nor did he intend to compete with the Colonel for it.

Since they were already on board, after searching the pirate ship, Leon and Ferrandi boarded the Uttans.

The Utans was much busier, with a group of sailors sorting through the ship's belongings.

"Why are you picking up a button?"

As they passed by the two marines, one of them spoke to the other.

Sailors are just like people on land in the water. Apart from being affected by buoyancy, they can move around like normal people and can speak.

"What do you know? My maternal uncle's second uncle worked in the Guberlan Royal Palace. Although he was in charge of handling dirty clothes, some of them were the dirty clothes of the king and princes. I studied fashion design with him when I was a child and saw many clothes that I couldn't afford even if I sold my house. Just the exquisite craftsmanship of this button is worth at least this much!"

The soldier proudly held up three fingers.

"thirty?"

Another soldier was puzzled.

"Do not."

The soldier who was pointing a finger shook his head.

"Three thousand?"

"If the scale is too small, it will cost at least 300,000. There are usually three buttons like this on the lapel of a formal suit jacket. Paired with a tie, a complete set would cost at least two or three million."

The soldier holding the button said smugly, "I'm already preparing to buy a house in the Pan family's school district in Snow City."

"Three hundred thousand for a single button? Tsk tsk tsk, you're just bragging."

The other soldier clearly didn't believe it.

But this successfully piqued Leon's interest.

It's not impossible for a single button to cost 300,000.

After all, when Leon was in the palace, the formal attire he wore usually cost at least two million.

Those are all custom-made by renowned fashion designers.

Sigh, in my past life, Leon's heart bled even when buying something that cost a few hundred dollars.

Born into royalty, they live a life of extravagant wealth!

He could also say with the same magnanimity as Mr. Ma, "The thing I, Leon, am least interested in is money!"

Leon glanced sideways at the button in the soldier's hand, and then felt that the seemingly unremarkable button looked increasingly familiar the more he looked at it.

This……

That seems to be it!

Leon's facial muscles twitched suddenly.

This looks like the button I tore off my clothes that night!

Logically speaking, Leon shouldn't have noticed such a small detail; it was just a casual action made under the influence of the atmosphere.

However, because that day was the day he took over power and became the regent prince, and also the day the villain Leon was killed by Helena by the fireplace in the anime, Leon was extremely nervous when he changed his clothes and straightened his tie before the power handover meeting. His hands were trembling, and he failed to button the clothes several times. As a result, he successfully remembered the formal attire he was wearing that day, especially the buttons and tie.

"Your button is fake."

Leon smiled and swam over, regaining his balance.

Because the underwater magic hasn't expired yet, Leon is currently in the same position as a Sailor Extraordinary in the water.

"Fake? Impossible."

The soldiers didn't believe it.

"You should know who I am, right?"

Leon forced a smile in the water.

“Of course, Prince Leon of Fchester.”

The soldier answered, but without showing any respect.

Because Snow City is independent, it has nothing to do with Fitch.

This is like an ordinary citizen from a country known for its love of food encountering the prime minister of an island nation on the street.

You're someone else's boss, what does it have to do with me?

"Yes, I live in the palace, and I usually wear and use the luxury items you mentioned."

Leon replied, "After wearing them for over twenty years, how could I not know which ones are genuine and which are counterfeit?"

"Oh... so this isn't worth much?"

The soldier immediately put on a mask of pain.

"Why would I, a prince of the empire, lie to you? This is worthless, at most a high-quality fake, worth a dozen or so yuan. Anyone who really knows their stuff can tell the difference at a glance."

Leon said in a serious tone.

"Haha, West Germany, you should just stick to your job and forget about getting rich overnight."

The soldier's comrade was delighted to hear Leon's words and patted him on the shoulder in comfort.

"Well, how about this? Actually, I have a hobby of collecting buttons. Although your button is a fake, it has a unique charm. I can give you three thousand."

"Leon replied."

"A hobby of collecting buttons?"

The soldiers immediately became alert, but after thinking about it, they realized that a prince like Leon was not short of money and wouldn't bother to deceive them for a "button worth 300,000," so they dismissed their doubts.

"Okay, I'll take cash."

"Okay."

Leon took out his wallet from his pocket and then pulled out more than 21,000 Snow City currency.

The currency of Snow City is different from that of Fchester; there is an exchange rate between them. What Leon just mentioned was three thousand in Fchester currency.

Furthermore, Leon and the soldiers were protected by supernatural powers, so they didn't get wet at all despite being in the water.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The soldier was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the other person was referring to three thousand in Fchester currency, while he was referring to three thousand in Snow City currency.

Earn money with blood!

A counterfeit button, worth over 20,000 yuan!

The soldier happily stuffed the money into his pocket, then pressed the button into Leon's hand, and scurried away as if afraid Leon would change his mind.

The soldier who had just comforted him became envious and chased after him, shouting that the other party should treat him to a meal at a club.

Chapter Four: Divination (Part 1)

Today was no different from any other day; it was still snowing.

In the snow capital, it seems like the snow will never stop falling.

Leon walked on the snow-covered path in the north of the Snow Capital, each step leaving a deep and clear footprint in the snow.

He held a drawing in his hand, a simple hand-drawn map with crooked lines, the destination being Mr. "Wolong's" cottage in the snowy city.

That's right, it's Leon's teacher. He's the only one in the world who's so arrogant, calling himself a giant dragon lying dormant in the snow. He either doesn't make a move at all, or when he does, it's earth-shattering and changes the world upside down.

I wonder what Leon is learning from him every day.

Soon, Leon arrived at the gate of Mr. Wolong's cottage.

The wide wooden gate to the courtyard was covered with a layer of ice at the seams.

It seems this door hasn't been opened in a long time.

What Mr. Wolong?

Leon felt that this guy was probably a shut-in!

Standing in front of the door, Leon quickly straightened his formal attire and was about to knock when he suddenly noticed a gong hanging on the wall beside the door.

Leon immediately realized what was happening.

Then he raised his hand and struck the gong hard. The clanging sound of the gong reverberated in the howling cold wind. The gong was very cold and hard, and Leon's hand hurt a little from striking it.

After waiting for a while without any movement from Leon, he raised his hand to strike the gong again, just as the wooden door creaked open.

With a crash, the ice blocks in the door crack shattered and scattered all over the floor like rain.

The person who opened the door was a young girl wearing a thin cotton robe over a white turtleneck sweater on her upper body, and a cotton skirt and black stockings on her lower body.

Like Leon, the girl had a head of bright blonde hair that was already outdated and was jokingly referred to as "loser" by netizens.

Her face had a slightly chubby, childlike face, and her eyes were large, bright green, particularly lively and beautiful, giving her an air of intelligence.

Mr. Wolong's adorable daughter?

Leon's first thought was this, but he quickly returned to normal. After all, who this woman was was Wolong's private matter, and Leon wasn't interested. Even if she was Wolong's girlfriend, there was nothing strange about it.

After all, it's normal for young people to take shortcuts.

If he had the opportunity, Leon wouldn't have bothered trying.

"anything?"

The girl's gaze was also fixed on Leon.

"I'm looking for Mr. Wolong."

"Leon replied."

"Oh, I'm sorry, the teacher has gone out for a trip. Please go back, sir."

The girl spoke quickly, her tone so practiced it sounded like someone reciting a novel's comment section's poem about waking up in the spring.

"Alright, I am Prince Leon of the Fchester Empire. I have long admired the name of Mr. Wolong. I came here from the Empire and prepared a special gift for you. Since you are not here, I hope we will meet again in the future."

Leon took a step back with a look of regret, bowed politely towards the inside of the house, and then turned and left without hesitation.

"Cough cough."

At that moment, a soft cough from a man came from behind Leon, sounding distant yet remarkably clear.

"Hey!"

Then, the big-eyed blonde cutie shouted it out.

"what happened?"

Leon turned around without making a sound.

"Please come with me, sir."

The big-eyed, blonde, cute girl spoke in a clear, crisp voice.

"okay."

Leon didn't mention that you just said he wasn't there! After all, everyone knows the truth, so there's no need to expose him. Even Mr. Wolong needs to save face.

Following behind the beautiful blonde girl, whose legs were exceptionally straight, and even more so when paired with black stockings, she had a very beautiful pair of legs.

She called Wolong "teacher"?

Could it be that Wolong took in more than just Leon as a student?
