Misunderstandings
Leo admitting that his master was none other than the notorious assassin Ben Faulkner made many heads turn with most not turning the good way.
Since in the future he was going to be a noble, his master having a criminal background was not going to reflect positively on him, especially amongst the highly judgmental noble society.
While his assassin skills were top-notch, Leo still wasn't far-sighted enough when it came to politics and trade as while the essence of his request to the Emperor was simple, it was going to eventually end up costing him a lot of opportunities under the alias of 'TheBoss'.
However, while there were some people who disapproved of Leo's association with Ben Faulkner, there were some who could not be more proud.
'The Uprising' for one was an organization that was thrilled to learn that Ben Faulkner was Leo's master.
