Since the Mischievous Lion Guild was already a very well-known Guild in the Emerald City, they don't have to line with the other people that want to enter the Emerald City anymore like in the past.

The moment the soldiers on top of the walls of the Emerald City saw the arrival of the carriages with the logo of the Mischievous Lion Guild, they immediately opened the gate wide and let them enter.

To express their appreciation, Leo gave the soldiers some money for themselves to use, or to be more precise, bribed them. It wasn't really much, just 10 gold coins for all of them to share with amongst each other. This was a common practice done almost everywhere, especially for businessmen, members of the Noble Households, and royal families, in which the main intention was to build a good relationship and good impression with other people, particularly soldiers working in the likes of the Emerald City.

Under many people's watchful eyes, the carriages of the Mischievous Lion Guild made their way towards the southwest of the Emerald City, which is the exact location of the numerous Craftsman stores in the Emerald City.

Leo's exact intention over there was still yet unknown for the members of the Naughty Elves organization secretly following behind them. But for the people that came along with him, they long already knew that the main reason they are going to the southwest was to order costume suits and dresses to prepare for the ball tomorrow. After all, they obviously can't be wearing casual suits and dresses for such a grand event, right? Especially considering that this ball is being held in the Evergreen royal family's castle with all of the participants in the top 100 rankings of the Emerald Event and the powerful forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom in complete attendance.

But of course, before finally going to the Tailoring stores, Leo wanted to make some detours first, which to be more precise, was mainly intended to confuse the members of the Naughty Elves organization secretly following behind them and waste their time.

Their first stop was the Alchemist Association.

Inside the third carriage, Dan and Sebastian were currently talking with each other.

”How confident are you that Ellen will really accept to come with you to this ball?” Dan can't help but ask.

Shaking his head, Sebastian replied, ”It is no longer a question of whether Ellen will accept my invitation or not, but rather whether I have the courage to ask her or not,”

”Oh, it seems like you are really confident that Ellen will agree,” Dan quickly understood the reason why.

”Well...” Sebastian began scratching his cheeks, slightly embarrassed about what he is going to say. In the next second, he continued, ”Actually, I have long been inviting Ellen to come with me to the ball ever since I started visiting her in the Alchemist Association. When I first asked her that question, she was thinking of it as a mere joke, saying that the competition to grab one of the top 100 places in the Emerald Event is extremely intense with no sure assurance of getting one of the 100 spots for themselves. But eventually, she started considering my invitation when the name of the Mischievous Lion Guild appeared in the third spot of the Emerald Event,”

”Damn, I can't believe that you can actually be that shameless,” Dan said before letting out a chuckle.

Sebastian rolled his eyes at Dan before continuing, ”Of course, she was feeling a bit hesitant at the very beginning. After all, we have only known each other for less than a month. Moreover, she already learned the truth that the Mischievous Lion Guild doesn't intend on staying in the Emerald Tree Kingdom for long. Any woman you will ask will definitely not want a boyfriend destined to leave them, right?”

”So, how exactly did you successfully persuade her?” Dan curiously asked, also a bit surprised that someone as stupid as Sebastian was actually able to successfully persuade a woman as smart as Ellen.

”Oh, I actually also don't quite know why she eventually accepted it, hehehe,” Sebastian expressed that he also doesn't know the reason.

Hearing Sebastian's reply, Dan can't help facepalming as he muttered, ”No wonder... I'm guessing that it is either because she just wanted to spend as much time with the person she likes while you are still here in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, or she plans to come with you once the Mischievous Lion Guild leave,”

Clicking his tongue together, Sebastian said, ”Who cares about whether she will stay here or come with me once we leave the Emerald Tree Kingdom. The only thing that really matters to me right now is, if I don't do this, then I will definitely regret it in the future. I don't really like that, so while I still have the opportunity, I will chase after her and express how much I love her,”

”You don't have to worry,” Dan patted Sebastian's shoulder. He thought inwardly, ”You might have a low IQ, but you definitely have a high EQ. As long as you continue what you are doing right now, then you will be able to eventually sweep her off her feet and make her yours. At that time, there is no doubt anymore that she will come with us,”

”Anyways, we are here now. Go on, quickly invite your girl to come with us so that we can continue to the next stop,” Dan opened the carriage door and pushed Sebastian outside. He then encourages him, ”The Sebastian I recognized will even dare to jump in the middle of hundreds of soldiers, let alone have the courage to invite a mere woman. Just invite her and leave everything up to Fate. Goodluck!”

”No need to worry, I can handle something as small as this,” Sebastian smiled in response before turning to looked at the entrance of the Alchemist Association, ”I hope...”

Seeing the wide-open door, Sebastian can't help but gulped down a mouthful of saliva as he felt like the door of the Alchemist Association is a place that exists in the Celestial World where nobody even dares to enter. But, he knows perfectly well that the moment he stepped out of the carriage, there is no longer any turning back for him. The only way left is to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
