Hearing Iasiah and Nightingale's words, everyone inside the meeting room, excluding Leo and Angel, instantly became shocked. 

None of them had really expected for the current situation to suddenly take such a huge turn for the worst. From merely Elvis being absent in today's meeting, to Elvis being missing, and now to Elvis being kidnapped and is in the hands of the Naughty Elves organization. The development was just so fast, or more appropriately, the changes of the conversation happened in an instant.

If it was only Leo who had assumed that to be the case, then they could understand it perfectly well, considering that he is an extremely cautious person. But seeing that even Iasiah and Nightingale believe it to be the case, and from Angel's expression, it also seems like she had thought the same thing as well, this only means that there is a reason for all of them to believe that. 

But, a few of them still doesn't believe it to be the case, such as Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago. 

"That is impossible," Ethan shook his head to express that he doesn't believe their claim.

"Let's just say that Elvis is indeed now in the hands of Naughty Elves organization," Elaine said as she looked at the others before continuing to explain, "But the question of whether Elvis will cooperate with them or not would still remain. And most likely, he will choose not to cooperate even with the risk of dying. So, there is no use in capturing him. I would rather believe that Elvis is dead already than the assumption that he is kidnapped by the Naughty Elves organization,"

Edward and Chief Lago quickly nodded their heads in agreement with what Elaine had just said. 

In their minds, they strongly doubt the feasibility that the Naughty Elves organization would kidnap Elvis. If that is really true, then what for? 

To use Elvis' talent to make maps? But he could just simply reject their orders as long as he wanted to, and forcing him to do it by threatening to kill him is also going to be impossible because he would certainly rather die than to make the same mistake that he had regretted so much in the past. 

And most likely it is going to be next to impossible for the Naughty Elves organization in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to use the Mischievous Lion Guild to threaten Elvis since destroying a Guild with a Galaxy-level Mage and four people with 9-Star level cultivation is not that easy to achieve, especially without sending some of their core members who are less likely to be stationed in such a small Kingdom territory, nor could they also use the remaining members of the Night Ear group because all of them are now currently members of the Mischievous Lion Guild after buying them from the Slave Houses.

If the Naughty Elves organization is also planning to use Elvis to do other things for them, then just like what was previously mentioned; he could always just choose to reject them as long as he wanted to and die.

No matter what the Naughty Elves organization wanted Elvis for, it is one hundred percent impossible to make him cooperate, especially when death is one of the accessible options that he could choose.

In spite of Ethan and the other's opinion though, Leo and the others who knew about the possible reason for Elvis' being kidnapped by the Naughty Elves organization didn't care about whether they believe it or not. Unlike them, they have already discovered plenty of evidence to prove their assumption. 

"But they have already made a lot of Elvis' clones, so what is the use of kidnapping him?" Angel asked in curiosity. 

"Indeed," Iasiah nodded his head in agreement. 

"Unless if they want the original because the fakes can't outperform Elvis," Nightingale expressed his opinion. 

Hearing the mention of 'Clones', 'Originals', and 'Fake', Ethan and the others completely became dumbfounded. 

Cassandra and the others also felt the same as they really don't have any sort of clue what Angel and the others were talking about. 

"Wait, wait, wait..." Ethan quickly interrupted. He then turned to look at Leo and asked, "What do you mean about Elvis' clones, originals, and fakes?"

"If only you and the others don't keep on interrupting us, then we would have long already finished informing all of you about what we have discovered during our visit to the Evergreen royal family's castle!" Leo said, a bit irritated of Ethan and the others others' constant interruption.

"Oh..." Ethan began scratching his head in embarrassment. 

On the other hand, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago quickly began doing some other things so as to push all the blame to Ethan. 

Heaving a sigh of helplessness, Leo explained, "Previously, I have already assumed that Elvis is going to be related to whatever the Naughty Elves organization was planning to do. But because I have no proof to prove my claim, I choose to put my thoughts aside until I find some evidence," 

"And coincidentally, during my visit to the Evergreen royal family's castle, Uncle Elfin revealed to me that they have discovered the Naughty Elves organization are making a lot of clones of Elvis using their newly invented Magic Technology,"

"Until now, aside from the Naughty Elves organization, no one else still knew about what they are exactly intending to do with those clones of Elvis,"

"But one thing is for certain, that is; Elvis is definitely related to whatever the Naughty Elves organization is planning to do in the Emerald Tree Kingdom," Leo finished explaining. 

"Elvis is related to the plan of the Naughty Elves organization...?" Ethan slumped back on his chair as he really didn't expect to hear such a shocking revelation. 

"If that is really the case, then why didn't you tell us in advance so that we can at least protect Elvis?" Elaine asked in frustration. One of their Executives was kidnapped by one of their sworn enemies, and despite the fact that their own Guild Leader knew about it, he actually still chooses not to reveal any of the information to them. Almost all of them came from the Lionheart Kingdom, but yet it feels like he still doesn't trust them that much to reveal some of his secrets. 

"Yeah," Edward nodded his head, feeling a bit disappointed in Leo for not telling them what he knew. 

"One of us could have come with Elvis and prevented the Naughty Elves organization from successfully kidnapping him," Chief Lago paused to shake his head, he then continued, "Now what? With Elvis in the hands of the Naughty Elves organization, we surely can't make reckless moves against them anymore! And I know for sure that the majority of us here would definitely object to sacrificing Elvis,"

Although the others wanted to defend Leo, especially Angel, Iasiah, and Nightingale, but listening to what Ethan and the others had just said, they can't help but also agree with them. Since Leo knew about it, then why didn't he told any of them?

It didn't take that long though for them to know the exact reason why...

"Who said that we would need to sacrifice Elvis? I mean, yes, I did choose to sacrifice him, or at least I had used him in order to benefit us, but not in the way that it would literally kill him, rather I was merely using him to find the whereabouts of the Naughty Elves organization," Leo said as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile, he continued, "While the majority of you were away, the Naughty Elves organization dared to scheme against us by secretly putting a Savage Fox Potion in the carcasses of our 7-Star Storm Sparrows, causing us to have no other choice left but to kill all of our 8-Star Storm Sparrows after feeding them those carcasses, which then affected the quality of our future sets of Magic armors,"

"I really hate the feeling of being oblivious of the things around me. That feeling when none of us were able to know about the scheme of the Naughty Elves organization until it finally strikes us was so annoying. So, this time, we will also do the same thing to the Naughty Elves organization as well. We will make them have a taste of the mischievousness of the Mischievous Lion Guild!" 

Indeed, back then, he wasn't mainly sending Elvis to investigate about who had put the Savage Fox Potion in the carcasses of those 7-Star Storm Sparrows. He had many plans in mind behind that order. And one of those plans was by sending Elvis to investigate, he was also giving the Naughty Elves organization the perfect opportunity to kidnap him. 

With Elvis investigating the Naughty Elves organization, it would be very easy for them to secretly lead him under his nose towards a trap that they have already prepared as long as they provide him with the correct information that he wanted to know. 

However, unbeknownst to the Naughty Elves organization, Elvis was actually also a walking trap as well. There is this thing that only he could see attached to Elvis, specifically the String of Fate. 

By just simply following where the green-colored String of Fate of Elvis leads him towards, there is no doubt that he will definitely be able to easily find the whereabouts of the Naughty Elves organization and at the same time also save Elvis. 

As for how exactly he was so sure that they will not kill Elvis; honestly, he wasn't even sure about that.... No, what he means to say is, he didn't even believe that he could actually make use of this plan, that's why he was also feeling a bit doubtful when he first heard that Elvis is currently missing since this situation right now was somewhat unexpected for him to really happened.
