While walking towards the opposite corner from Edgar Pierce, Leo was constantly listening to all the reports being sent by their allies about eliminating the hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization during that short break that they had created.
That's right. The plan that he had prepared just now wasn't only for the benefits of the Mischievous Lion Guild and the Red Fist Guild but also for the Evergreen Royal Family.
During the moment that they were recuperating, their allies, who were disguised as one of the spectators, began moving secretly and eliminated all members of the Naughty Elves Organization that were taking a break.
Needless to say, all of them knew that the people they had killed weren't the only hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization. After all, they don't know all of their members that have disguised themselves as spectators in the Victory Arena.
Regardless, after seeing their comrades suddenly disappear, those hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization that they have not identified yet should start moving to look for them.
And that's precisely what is currently going on right now.
When the hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization returned to their seats and noticed that a few of their comrades still didn't return, a few of them were immediately dispatched to look for them. However, those people also didn't return after some time passed. As such, they later realized that the people of the Evergreen Royal Family had started hunting them down.
Hence, a fight has started without the knowledge of any uninvolved people. With how big the Victory Arena was and the fact that it is under the control of the Evergreen Royal Family, it's pretty easy for them to prevent anyone from noticing that a fight is currently happening. In addition to that, with the fight between Guild Leader Loki and Edgar Pierce going to happen soon, the majority of the people can't be bothered by anything else other than the main show.
"All the entrances to the spectator's stand are already completely blocked. There's no possible way for the members of the Naughty Elves Organization to get back inside or to call for more reinforcement,"
"Roger! All teams, start moving!"
…..
"West wing is clear!"
…..
"East wing is clear!"
…..
"South wing is clear!"
…..
"North wing is clear!"
…..
"All locations are clear! Time to head back to the spectator's stand to start cleaning the rest of their members!"
"Roger!"
…..
Hearing the last command of the leader of the operation, Leo can't help taking a glimpse at the location of the entrances to the spectator's stand.
"As expected," Leo muttered to himself after seeing a few organized people secretly blending in with the crowd.
"How efficient. Our allies really move so quickly that it didn't even take more than twenty minutes for them to clear all members of the Naughty Elves Organization outside the spectator's stand," Orcborg said through the communicators.
"They won't be called the Royal Magical Knights of the Evergreen Royal Family if they can't even handle ordinary members of the Naughty Elves Organization," Elmont explained.
"What do you mean they're ordinary members?" Leo asked, a bit curious at what Elmont meant.
"Apparently, they plan on doing a suicide bombing in the Victory Arena in order to attract the attention of our forces here. In other words, they planned on making a diversion," Elmont replied.
"Don't they know that their people have already lost?" Orcborg asked dubiously.
"They know. But it doesn't matter because everything has already been laid out, and it's time for their final piece to make a move," Elmont heaves a heavy sigh.
"Don't worry, one of Madam Flores's trusted team has already taken the Doombringer and is now escorting it back to the Emerald City," Bagley interrupted.
"Doombringer? Was that the Magic weapon that was said to be in the Galaxy-level? Do you actually have that item?! My father has been looking for the person who bought it since the President of the Elves Secret Organization sent him a letter a few months ago to retrieve that item no matter what, telling us that it would help us in times of danger," Elmont voiced out his surprise. He added, "Luckily, it was in brother Loki's hand all along. If it was anyone else, there's no doubt that they would hide it and use it for themselves only,"
"What… what?! What do you mean?!" Bagley expressed his shock at Elmont's words.
"Oh, I almost forgot! You guys in the Secret Elves Organization are really careless! Why did you just give the Doombringer to someone random and not hand it to the representative that we have sent to attend your auction?!" Elmont berated Bagley.
"Why are you blaming us?! Even Madam Flores doesn't know the reason why the Headquarters gave us the Doombringer. They only informed us to do everything we can to sell it, not telling us to who and why?" Bagley exclaimed.
"Even if that's true. You can't just hand it to someone random! What if it wasn't brother Loki who bought it?"
"Correction, I did not buy it. They force it on me," Leo corrected.
"What?!!! You gave it to them forcefully?! Just how stupid are you guys?! You're really fortunate that it was brother Loki who you gave it to. Otherwise, things would not be the same as what is currently happening right now," Elmont continued blaming the Elves Secret Organization for their dumb mistake.
"Tell that to the Headquarters for giving us vague instruction. Tell your father that the next time they give an instruction, it should be as clear as day!" Bagley continued defending.
Knowing that this bantering between Elmont against Bagley about who's right and wrong would not stop any time soon, Leo turned off his communicator. He focused his attention again on Edgar Pierce, who was long already waiting for him to get ready.
"I apologize. I was checking the content of my Storage Ring. Just making sure that I have everything prepared before the start of our fight," Leo said.
"It's alright," Edgar Pierce waved his hand indifferently. He continued, "So, are you done with your preparation?"
"Yes! We can now start the fight," Leo nodded his head in response. If he doesn't start the fight soon, the spectators will notice something strange around them. For example, the missing people around them. He can't let that happen, so he'd have to distract them with his fight against Edgar Pierce. In his mind, he thought, "I need to do everything to make this fight last long so that I can buy our allies enough time to clean all the members of the Naughty Elves Organization before they start suicide bombing,"
This was an emergency situation, so the staff who was assigned for Guild Leader Loki and Edgar Pierce's fight approached slightly closer to the former and secretly transmitted a message using his Mana, "I leave everything to you. I hope you'd buy us enough time to distract the spectators,"
"Rest assured," Leo smiled.
After hearing Guild Leader Loki's response, the staff raised his hand above his head before waving it and saying, "Let the fight begin!"
Contrary to what Leo and the staff were hoping to happen, the instant the start of the fight was announced, Edgar Pierce unexpectedly did what they were afraid the most to happen.
"I surrender," Edgar Pierce muttered. He did not wait for the staff to say anything and started walking back to the side where Osborne was waiting.
"This…." The staff can't believe what just happened.
Leo was also feeling disbelief. But he quickly pulled himself together and exclaimed, "Stop!"
Edgar Pierce turned around nonchalantly as he asked, "Why? Isn't this what you wanted from the start; to proceed to the Battle Royal? Oh, are you perhaps going to thank me right now? Since I helped you with your plan. And in addition to that, you don't even have to use any of your stamina and energy. However, there's no need to thank me. I just hope that you will disband your alliance with Osborne and fight fair and square against me. That is all I am asking. If you don't let that happen, then I guess I was just hoping for nothing,"
"No, that's not what I mean," Leo shook his head.
"Eh? Then is it that you are not allowing me to surrender? Why? Is it because you and Osborne can surrender while I am not allowed to surrender?" Edgar Pierce felt pissed. He continued, "Sorry, but I surrender. Whether you accept it or not, it doesn't matter. Let's fight again in the Battle Royal,"
Seeing that it's impossible to stop Edgar Pierce from leaving, Leo could only heave a heavy sigh before calling out the staff in front of him.
"What are we going to do now? Since Edgar Pierce had already surrendered, we have no way to distract the people," The staff started feeling a bit panicked deep inside of him.
