The next day, Leo quickly gathered everyone outside of the Smiling Lion Village where all the Flyingboats of the Mischievous Lion Guild were docked after he left his office. He gave everyone a brief summary about the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon that they would be capturing next, which includes the characteristics, battle style, strength, and weaknesses of a Vineyard Dragon that he had gotten from his conversation with Elsa last night.

After ten minutes or so of the briefing, he then signaled to everyone to get on the Flyingboats as they would begin the journey to the Vineyard Garden. The real planning would begin once they arrive at the Vineyard Garden and collect sufficient information about everything they needed over there.

Unlike the previous two Galaxy-level Magical Beast that the Mischievous Lion Guild has captured before, they have competitors for the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon. 

Time is already not on their side, and with the addition of these competitors, they could no longer afford to even waste a single second of time. 

However, before Leo could get on the Flyingboat, a request from King Elfin the Fourth was surprisingly delivered by a squad of soldiers from the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

"Guild Leader Loki! His majesty, King Elfin the Fourth, would like to request for your presence to the Evergreen royal family's castle today," The Squad Captain quickly announced the reason for his visit.

Leo can't help feeling a bit surprised after hearing the words of the Squad Captain as his mind then immediately began thinking of the possible reason why King Elfin the Fourth had requested his presence. 

Honestly, he doesn't have a problem with King Elfin the Fourth's request for his presence. It's just that, base on all of the things that the Mischievous Lion Guild had done ever since arriving in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, they have done nothing really serious to the point of making the Evergreen royal family move personally on them, let alone making King Elfin the Fourth, the ruler of the Emerald Tree Kingdom himself, move personally.

Even when they captured two Galaxy-level Magical Beasts, the Evergreen royal family had only sent Commander Vargas to receive them.

Thus, he really can't think of any possible reason why King Elfin the Fourth had requested his presence.

"Guild Leader Loki, should we postpone the operation?" Ethan asked as he arrived by Leo's side.

"No," Leo shook his head in rejection to Ethan's question.

Since King Elfin the Fourth requested for his presence in the Evergreen royal family's castle, then he naturally can't come in this operation with the Mischievous Lion Guild to capture the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon as he would have to take care of this really important matter.

Although he could actually just simply ignore the request of King Elfin the Fourth so that he could still come in the operation just like what he had done to the other request that he had read in his office before. But doing so might just make him offend the entire Evergreen royal family, or worst, the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. After all, ignoring the request of the ruler of the Emerald Tree Kingdom is preposterous and straight-out disrespectful. And besides, this is just a simple request of his presence, or in other words, an invitation to visit the Evergreen royal family's castle and speak with King Elfin the Fourth. Therefore, accepting the request is really not that bad at all. 

Although it doesn't necessarily mean it is good as well, but accepting the request is not troublesome, at least as of now...

Anyways, his absence doesn't mean that the operation of the Mischievous Lion Guild to capture the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon should be postponed as well. It was only him who was needed, not the entire Mischievous Lion Guild. So, they can proceed with the operation. 

However, because he is going to be absent, then he needs to assign someone else to lead the operation.

Fortunately, it's not really that difficult to choose. Who else is better suited to lead this operation aside from him if not Ethan. 

"Ethan, you will now be in charge of this operation," Leo turned to look at Ethan.

"Yes, Guild Leader Loki," Ethan nodded his head in affirmation. Making him the Leader for this operation is not a big of a problem for him, at all. In fact, he could confidently say that he will achieve success in this operation.

"Cassandra, Elizabeth, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Elaine, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre will follow Ethan, while Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale will stay here with me," Leo said as he turned around to face the squad from the Evergreen royal family and continued, "I'll go prepare myself for a moment, can you all wait here for a bit?"

"No problem, Guild Leader Loki," The Squad Captain delightfully complied. He turned to look at his men and informed them to rest for a bit while they wait for Guild Leader Loki to return.

"Wait!" Cassandra quickly stopped Leo from leaving, her face showing she's really displeased with his decision of not taking her with him to visit the Evergreen royal family's castle.

Elizabeth, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte were also feeling the same as Cassandra as they stared in irritation and jealousy at Angel who is now showing the expression of a woman who was specially chosen by the man she loved out of all the women he loves.

In spite of all of Cassandra and the other's look, Angel completely ignored them as she hugged Leo's arm as if to annoy them even more.

"Is there a problem?" Leo asked despite already knowing the obvious reason why Cassandra had called out to him. 

"Le- Loki, explain the reason why you are only taking Angel with you?!" Cassandra demanded while crossing both of her hands in front.

"Indeed," Elizabeth, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte also crossed both their hands in front to express that they also wanted to know.

Seeing Cassandra and the other's expressions on their faces, Ethan and the others quickly distanced themselves far from them as they don't want to be implicated in Leo's mess. They also didn't forget to signal the Squad Captain to get as far away as possible to save himself and his men, to which they quickly complied without any questions asked.

"I already took you and Elizabeth on a date before, so it's just right for me to take Angel this time, right?" Leo explained reasonably.

Supposedly, at first, he was only planning on taking Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale with him. 

Both Iasiah and Nightingale would be enough to protect him without causing any trouble and at the same time also take him away quickly if ever there is any trouble. While on the other hand, he decided to take Elvis as he suddenly realized that maybe he's actually the real reason why King Elfin the Fourth had requested his presence. After all, they are both friends. He's assuming that maybe he's just a bridge for a reunion between the two, which honestly speaking, isn't really troublesome, especially if he could use this to establish a better relationship with the Evergreen royal family.

It was in the last second when he also realized that he could actually also use this opportunity to remove another troublesome problem, so he decided that he might as well just take Angel with him too. Anyways, adding another person isn't really that much of a problem, especially if it's Angel, specifically his woman who causes the least amount of trouble to him.

"That's different!" Cassandra immediately objected. 

"Why so?" Leo furrowed his brows together. 

"Because..."

"Hmmm..." Leo can't help smiling mischievously while looking at Cassandra and the others who are too embarrassed to express their true feelings. Consequently, after seeing their reaction, he immediately bore in mind that every time they try to cause him trouble again, he would just tease them to shut them up.

"Nothing..."

Cassandra and the others could only say that it's nothing as they are really too embarrassed to say that they are jealous, especially with many people watching them. But inwardly, they didn't forget to cursed at Leo for the unfair treatment, especially Cassandra and Elizabeth, as they were only taken on a date around the Emerald City, while Angel would be spending his date with Leo in the Evergreen royal family's castle.

Just the thought alone of Leo introducing Angel as his woman in front of King Elfin the Fourth and the entire Evergreen royal family instantly made all of them overflow with jealousy. 

Why can't it just be us?! Unfair!!!

"Take care of yourselves and don't cause any trouble to Ethan, okay?" Leo reminded Cassandra and the others before finally leaving to prepare for his visit to King Elfin the Fourth. 

Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale also quickly followed after to prepare themselves as well. 

They obviously can't just go and meet King Elfin the Fourth wearing their armors, right? It might cause other people to misunderstand them that they are going to the Evergreen royal family's castle to start a war with the Evergreen royal family.

Unbeknownst to Leo, as he was leaving, Cassandra and the others quickly sworn deep inside to cause Ethan a lot of trouble in this operation since that would be the same as causing Leo trouble. 

"Be sure to enjoy yourself today, because the moment we returned, we assure you that you'd be facing a lot of trouble!" 

Women; creatures that shouldn't be offended, especially by men...

"Let's go!" Ethan called out to everyone to get on the Flyingboats. 

In the next moment, all the Flyingboats of the Mischievous Lion Guild began flying one after another.. The Flyingboats of the Elves Secret organization soon followed behind them.
