Contrary to what Madam Flores was expecting, Leo merely responded, "That was Ethan and a few other's opinions, not mine, and neither does it represent the entire Mischievous Lion Guild. If you don't believe me, then try asking Charlotte and the others again. That shouldn't be difficult since most of them are with you right now,"

Hearing Leo's words, Madam Flores' expression immediately turned ugly. If it was a while ago, then she would definitely get everyone's support as she had moved all of them with her great acting before. But now that they knew the truth that she was actually only making a fool out of all of them, then there's no doubt that they will change their minds and no longer support her.

Madam Flores slowly turned to look at Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, only for her to find out and see their unfavorable and displeased expressions on their faces. 

Although Madam Flores is the President of the Elves Secret organization branch in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, this doesn't necessarily mean that everyone will just easily forgive her for her mistakes. Well, if it was the people living in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, then there is a very high possibility for them to indeed do that. But the Mischievous Lion Guild are unlike those people, as they have plenty of chances to establish a connection with the Elves Secret organization in the future. After all, they would be traveling in a lot of places around the Celestial World, including many other more Elf race territories. Meaning to say they will visit more branches of the Elves Secret organization in the future and could just simply establish a connection with them from there. 

Aside from that reason, Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild are smart enough to understand what exactly Leo wanted to do. As such, they will naturally support him, especially considering the fact that this was beneficial for the Mischievous Lion Guild.

As expected...

"Now that I think about it again, we actually didn't lose against the Black organization in the past since the Lionheart Kingdom wasn't destroyed in the end. So, we don't mind turning back and abandoning the Emerald Tree Kingdom," Ethan grinned at Madam Flores. 

"Oh yeah, so this means there is no pride and honor for us to retake from this war against the Naughty Elves organization," Sebastian acted as if he had just realized something which made him correct his mistake. 

"As much as I hate it, but I agree with you again," Dan repeated the same line that he had just said before, but this time it was reversed. 

"Just this once, I also agree with Sebastian," Sele nodded her head in agreement.

"Likewise," Iasiah added. 

"If my twin agrees, then I will also agree," Nightingale put one of his arms around Iasiah's neck before turning to look at Madam Flores and winking at her as if to say, "Now, what will you do?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Madam Flores could only grit her teeth in helplessness and frustration. In her mind, she blames Leo for why everything had turned out this bad for her. 

However, it didn't take that long for Madam Flores to forget about such a thought as she realized that everything was her fault to begin with. If only she told the truth and didn't bother scheming against them, then things would have still remained favorable for her. 

"Time is ticking, Madam Flores. Tick, tock! Tick, tock! Do you hear that sound? That simply means that you need to come to a decision quickly because time is running. Otherwise, the Emerald Tree Kingdom will indeed stand no chance winning against the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon," Leo annoyingly reminded. 

It was very evident at this point in time that Leo was going all out in causing trouble to Madam Flores. What else would be the reason aside from making her pay for trying to trick him, and most importantly, for playing with the feelings of his woman, Charlotte? 

Unbeknownst to Madam Flores, though, if only she had stuck on persuading him, regardless of it being a scheme, then she would have long gotten what she wanted, and things would not have to go through this lengthy development. 

The reason for that is because the Emerald Tree Kingdom is something that he doesn't want to lose as well since he needs them for the future development of the Mischievous Lion Guild. If it's gone, then they would have to look for another Elf race territory to replace them and get what they needed from there, which, honestly speaking, is a lot of trouble as they would have to establish fame and connections once again. Not only that, the ruler of that territory will also no longer be someone whom he can just treat as his uncle. 

At the side, Bagley could only shake his head to express his sympathy for Madam Flores. As much as he wanted to help her, he couldn't do anything else since things had already turned irreversible for her. Not only that, at this moment, he is now surrounded by Cassandra and the others with no way out of the room of the Mischievous Lion Guild. Even though he could easily defeat them as simple as lifting a finger, but that would cause even more trouble for Madam Flores. Thus he'd rather not do that and just remain quiet as if he doesn't exist. 

"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be the only one who will become helpless and powerless this time," Charlotte smiled mischievously as she watched the once domineering Madam Flores being outargued by her man, Leo, and have the table completely turned against her favor. Subsequently, she felt really grateful and appreciated her man's effort to protect her. Though he might not have said it out loud, as his woman, she could easily tell that he was helping her have her revenge. 

Time continues to pass, with Madam Flores still not coming to a final decision. 

Elfin the Fifth, Queen Tina, Elmore, and Elvis had long already finished their discussion and are now looking towards the direction of Madam Flores and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, curious to know of what they are doing. 

In the end, Madam Flores, who was left with no other choice, could only heave a heavy sigh of resignation before saying, "I accept your condition,"
