Because Elvis had learned a lot of informations from the Naughty Elves organization about their different plans in the Emerald Tree Kingdom through a reverse interrogation during the time he was being tortured by some of their members without anyone of them knowing, plus they have also collected plenty of relevant informations from one of the laboratories of the Naughty Elves organization, Leo immediately decided to call a meeting with Uncle Elfin, Madam Flores, and the rest of the members of their alliance the moment he returned back to the Smiling Lion Village, hoping to make some small or big changes in their plans against the Naughty Elves organization.

But unfortunately, the response that Leo had received the very next morning from the alliance was to be patient and wait because the Emerald Event is coming to its end today. Though there is really no need for him to wait that long since the date of the meeting was simply agreed to be held during the date of the ball, which would be the day after the end of the Emerald Event. In other words, tomorrow evening.

After receiving their response, Leo quickly understood the exact reason why. 

This ball was the celebration for the closing of the Emerald Event, and which is also the mark of the beginning of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. 

The entire population of the Emerald Tree Kingdom would actually also be celebrating for this day, but only the participants in the top 100 rankings of the Emerald Event are given invitation letters to attend the ball which would exactly be held at the Evergreen royal family's castle. It is definitely because of such a reason why the date of the ball would be the perfect disguise to hold the meeting. 

Although the Naughty Elves organization is already completely aware of the existence of the alliance created by the Evergreen royal family to fight against them. But they would definitely not be able to expect that there would be a meeting being held during the ball because it is only natural for not only the participants in the top 100 rankings of the Emerald Event but to also all the forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to attend this grand celebration of the Evergreen royal family.

He also quickly realized the consequences of suddenly gathering all of the members of the alliance for a meeting, especially gathering them right after the destruction of one of the laboratories of the Naughty Elves organization. Simply put, it is not the wisest decision to choose. After all, the Naughty Elves organization is not so stupid as to not get suspicious that something is wrong after discovering such a move of the Evergreen royal family.

Even though the Naughty Elves organization is not yet fully aware that the people that had attacked one of their laboratories are actually the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild, especially considering how inconspicuous they were during their secret operation and that they didn't even leave any members of the Naughty Elves organization alive. However, just basing on the fact alone that the original Elvis was rescued while leaving the fake Elvis dead, then it is only natural for them to include the Mischievous Lion Guild in their list of highly suspicious suspects. 

To begin with, the Naughty Elves organization is already a bit suspicious of the Mischievous Lion Guild being one of the members of the alliance that the Evergreen royal family had created to fight against them, especially because the day that the Mischievous Lion Guild had visited the Evergreen royal family's castle was coincidentally also the same day that all of their secret members were purged. 

Truthfully, if only the Naughty Elves organization didn't receive the news in advance that it was Princess Tila who had invited the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild for a date, which is already a very common information throughout all the people close or those people that are paying attention to the Evergreen royal family, then they would have definitely long already assumed that the Mischievous Lion Guild is indeed a part of the alliance of the Evergreen royal family.

Currently, the Naughty Elves organization is mainly believing that the Mischievous Lion Guild had involved themselves because; firstly, they were coincidentally in the Evergreen royal family's castle at that moment, thus they have the biggest opportunity for the most important reason of all, they hope to get close to the Evergreen royal family. The reason that they have arrived at this conclusion was after considering the fact that the Mischievous Lion Guild has been eagerly capturing Galaxy-level Magical Beasts during the entire span of the Emerald Event. What else would their purpose be for going to great lengths? At least aside from exchanging those Galaxy-level Magical Beasts for items that can't be bought by money from the Evergreen royal family.

As such, in order to avoid the truth from getting discovered, the Evergreen royal family used the ball as the disguise for the meeting. Only by doing so would the Naughty Elves organization not be able to pinpoint the involvement of the Mischievous Lion Guild and not ruin what they were planning to do, at least only until when the Emerald Elven Battle Competition finally begins. 

Uncle Elfin also specifically mentioned that they should hide Elvis in the meantime, so that the Naughty Elves organization would only think that it is the Evergreen royal family that had rescued Elvis. After all, if there is ever someone who would really plan to rescue Elvis, has the ability to destroy one of their laboratories without leaving anyone of their members alive, and could even spot the real Elvis from the fake Elvis, then it would only be the Evergreen royal family, or to be more precise, King Elfin the Fourth. 

Leo slowly put down the letter on top of the table in front of him before raising his head to look at everyone around him.

At this moment, everyone was gathered together in the meeting room to discuss about their countermeasures after destroying one of the laboratories of the Naughty Elves organization and their response to Uncle Elfin's letter.
