The moment Leo and the others had gotten far away from Lance's Tailoring store, a few men currently wearing black cloaks suddenly appeared from the opposite alley and right after walked casually straight inside Lance's Tailoring store. 

"Oh, new customers!" Lance exclaimed delightfully with a bright smile on his face, completely in contrast to the surrounding of his Tailoring store. But as soon as he observed the aura of the men wearing black cloaks closely, he inwardly turned solemn. In spite of that though, his face still maintained the welcoming look. He then asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Are you the tailor?" One of the men wearing a black cloak asked with a serious tone in his voice. Though the deep inside of him, he could somewhat guess already that this person is probably named Lance and that he is the person who owns this Tailoring store. This was exactly because he felt no other aura inside the Tailoring store aside from this person in front of him.

"Tailor Lance, at your service," Lance introduced himself while slightly bowing his head and still maintaining the same exact welcoming smile on his face.

Hearing Lance's response, all of the men wearing black cloaks instantly started conversing with each other while using an Isolation Magic spell to block all of the sounds of their conversation and preventing Lance from hearing anything that they were talking about.

Nevertheless, Lance still wore the same exactly welcoming smile on his face, showing that he is unconcerned about their action and totally not bothered with it.

After a few minutes of talking, the same man wearing a black cloak dropped a small bag with a few tens of gold coins inside on top of the counter in front of Lance as he then asked with a threatening tone on his voice, "How about you tell me what those guys had come here for and I will give you this small bag full of gold coins? Of course, you can also choose to reject doing me a small favor and not to say anything about them. But there would definitely be some consequences that you would be required to pay if you really choose to do that if you know what I mean,"

Honestly, all of the men in black cloaks were a bit hesitant when one of them had proposed the idea of threatening Lance. This was exactly because they felt a powerful Magic Power coming out from him. Basing on what they have felt alone, Lance is definitely the person with the highest cultivation level in this room right now.

As soon as that man wearing a black cloak finished his sentence, Lance immediately acted to gulped down a mouthful of saliva while sweating profusely. While acting in panic, he pushed the small bag full of gold coins inside back to the man wearing a black cloak while saying, "I can... tell you everything that I know about them... and you also don't need to pay me anything... really... you can just simply consider it... as me befriending all of you, kind sirs..."

"Great," The man in the black cloak said while heaving a silent sigh of relief under the hood covering his face. He then continued, "You may begin then," 

While sneering inwardly as if to express his mockery of how easily he was able to fool all of the men wearing black cloaks, Lance began telling them everything that he knew about Leo and the others. 

Of course, not literally everything, since Lance could already easily guessed inside of his mind that these people are all members of the Naughty Elves organization. 

And besides, Lance is honestly not scared even for a tinny tiny bit with all of these men wearing black cloaks. If he was facing Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago instead, then he would definitely not have the confidence to pull this kind of stunt. But in his case right now, he is very confident to claim that even if they all realized that what he's telling them is not true, they would still not dare to fight against him. 

Lance's confidence all steamed from the fact that even if all of the men wearing black cloaks combined their strengths together to fight against him, they would still not be able to compare to even a single finger of his hand. After all, he is a 9-Star Mage, while all of these men wearing black cloaks are merely a bunch of 4-Star to 5-Star Mages. 

If ever a fight really breaks out inside Lance's Tailoring store, the fight would no doubt just be the same as a bunch of weak and malnourished kids fighting against a strong and healthy adult.

While Leo and the others were still inside Lance's Tailoring store, Elvis's presence in the Evergreen royal family's castle was already made known to the Naughty Elves organization from their members secretly observing the castle from across the lake.

Because there was only a small suspicious action that the Mischievous Lion Guild had done throughout the entire time, which was they have suddenly brought all of their Executives to the Emerald City. Additionally, because of the fake confession from Lance to the members of the Naughty Elves organization that have visited his Lance's Tailoring store, dropping their suspicion of the Mischievous Lion Guild was further solidified. 

As if it wasn't enough yet, the Evergreen royal family actually chooses to not announced that Elvis is in their castle to anyone else, even to the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

This action of the Evergreen royal family implies that they don't plan on letting the Mischievous Lion Guild know about what they are planning to do, which also meant that they are not involved in any of their scheme or anything of the likes. 

Of course, the suspicion that the Mischievous Lion Guild might have long already expected Elvis' arrival in the Evergreen royal family's castle that's why there is no longer any point in informing them, was still included in their list of assumptions. But they have merely concluded that there is only a little possibility of it really being the case, so they dismissed the possibility.

Therefore, at this moment, the Naughty Elves organization's suspicion of the Mischievous Lion Guild could be basically neglected already. 

As long as the Mischievous Lion Guild doesn't do any suspicious action until the Emerald Elven Battle Competition finally begins, then the Naughty Elves organization will never be able to find out that they are actually part of the alliance that was created by the Evergreen royal family.
