With Madam Flores agreeing to Leo's condition, the both of them soon after swore an Oath to confirm everything and for both parties to not go back with their promises. 

"I'll be giving the Doombringer to Bagley. You can just get the item from him," Leo said before turning to look at Ash by his side and nodding his head to signal to her to give the Doombringer to Bagley. 

Understanding Leo's signal, Ash waved her hand, quickly taking out the Doombringer from her Storage Ring and handing it to Bagley. 

"Thank you, Guild Leader Loki," Bagley bowed his head by a bit. 

"Happy to have this transaction with the Elves Secret organization. Hopefully, we could do this again in the future," Leo said to Madam Flores in a teasing manner.

Madam Flores' lips immediately stiffen at the other side of the communicator after hearing Leo's words. But despite that, she still muttered in response, "Likewise,"

Regardless of how much Madam Flores despises Leo right now, she has no other choice left but to express appreciation and not say any displeasing lines. If she really did the latter, then she'd only be labeled as a petty person by Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild. And besides, this is the price to pay for carelessly giving the Doombringer without thinking about it thoroughly. Next time, she would definitely do some extensive research first in order to prevent the same situation from happening again. 

Nevertheless, Madam Flores still can't help herself from looking at Leo in a favorable light. This was because the conversation they just had has truly enlightened her about his true capabilities. She finally understood the reason why her friend Silva, and the ruler of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, King Elfin the Fourth, viewed him positively. 

In Madam Flores' mind, she thought, "Even though I lost in this transaction, I at least was able to establish a connection with such a capable person like Leo. As long as I use this wisely, then I would definitely be able to get something great in the future,"

Unbeknownst to Madam Flores, Leo was actually also thinking the same thought like her. 

Even though Leo had just caused a lot of trouble to Madam Flores in this transaction, he is still more than aware that he should do something to mend their relationship. After all, Madam Flores would no doubt become a very useful connection to help the development of Mischievous Lion Guild in the future.

As soon as the transaction was finished, Leo turned off his communicator and bid farewell to Bagley, Cassandra, and the others. 

At this moment, the fourth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition is already going to begin. As such, he is now making his way towards the stage of the Victory Arena. Otherwise, he would be late, which would immediately disqualify the Mischievous Lion Guild.

Not long after, Leo could finally see the arch entrance to the stage. From here, he could already hear the loud cheers and excited noises of all the spectators watching the Emerald Elven Battle Competition while calling out the name of the teams they supported.

"Mischievous Lion Guild!"

"Red Fist Guild!"

"Battle Maniac team!"

The teams being called out though, were mainly the members of their alliance, which honestly speaking, was within expectation, especially considering the three teams' great performance from the first game to the third game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. They basically dominated the three games and eliminated most of the teams. Not only that, but they also go right for the kill, making everyone's blood boil in excitement and satisfaction.

Listening to this, Leo can't help smiling in delight. However, such a smile didn't last that long as he began worrying for everyone.

This scene was completely contrary to what is currently happening outside of the Victory Arena right now. In here, everyone is still oblivious of the fact that a war against the Naughty Elves organization is happening all over the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. They don't even have a single clue that at any moment from now, a Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon would come and try to destroy their home. 

Actually, such a situation wasn't really that strange. This was because there are more than hundreds of different Magic Arrays, including Isolation, Concealment, Illusion, Land Stabilizer, and many other more, ranging from weak to strong, installed all over the Victory Arena, which protects everyone from anything outside. And apparently, these Magic Arrays also completely prevent the people inside from knowing what is happening beyond this place. 

Not only that, with the Emerald Tree nearby the Victory Arena, no Magical Beasts or Galaxy-level Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potion would approach this place. It was as if this place is in a completely different dimension from the rest of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. 

In addition to that, with Queen Tina in charge of the southern region, even soldiers of the Naughty Elves organization couldn't hope to approach the Victory Arena that easily. And even if they could indeed trespass her protection, there is still another huge problem that they need to face, specifically the Magic Academy that Queen Tina owns, the Emerald Magic Academy, which is located only tens of kilometers away after the Victory Arena. 

Considering all of those things, it became possible to completely isolate the Victory Arena from the war against the Naughty Elves organization. 

Nevertheless, this still doesn't guarantee everyone's safety from the incoming Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon, not even the slightest.

Naturally, only people like Leo and the other allies of the Evergreen royal family inside the Victory Arena are made aware of such information. As for the rest, they remained entertained by the games of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. Though, this was undoubtedly much better than having everyone panic. In that case, things would be really troublesome.

Amidst his thinking, Leo didn't notice that he had already exited the arch entrance.

The moment Leo exited the arch entrance, a bright light from the sun right after blocked his view in front. He can't help but raise his hands up to cover the sun's rays while at the same time slowly adjusting his eyes to adapt from it. 

In the next moment, Leo could finally see the entire stage of the Victory Arena. 

Circling around the stage are tall white-colored majestic and proud walls that have withstood the passage of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition from the very beginning until now. On top of this wall are the spectator stands where all the countless people watching them are seated.

On every edge of the wall, tens of flags of the Emerald Tree Kingdom hung high up on the top of metal polls while waving along with the strong wind gushing forth towards them.

Different bright neon colors could be seen all over the place, such as balloons, banners, and many other things that the spectators brought inside the Victory Arena.

"Seeing the stage upfront really gives another level of feeling compared to just seeing it from the room of the Mischievous Lion Guild or in the control room," Leo marveled in delight.
