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.
