Unbeknownst to that Dark Elf who had just left to report to the President of the Wolf Howl organization about his shocking discovery here in the Smiling Lion Village, behind one of the trees nearby where he was hiding just now, Edward's figure could be seen slowly walking out.

"Just like what Ethan had expected, someone had indeed appeared," Edward said to himself.

Ethan had long already expected that someone from the Wolf Howl organization would be nearby to keep watch on Elvis and his Night Ear group, perhaps to confirm whether they have died or not. So, before bringing Elvis to meet with Leo, he told Edward first to keep watch on the surrounding area of the Smiling Lion Village in case that his assumption was indeed correct.

"And according to the plan, I would secretly follow them so as to find out where their group is hiding," Edward said with an excited expression on his face.

While Edward was preparing to follow after that Dark Elf, Sele suddenly appeared.

"Edward?" Sele called out.

Hearing Sele's voice, Edward's eyes suddenly lit up as he turned to look at her and said, "Perfect timing!"

"Perfect timing for what?" Sele curiously asked. But as soon as she noticed Edward's expression, her face suddenly blushed as she said, "You're not thinking of doing perverted things again, are you?"

"Hehehehe," Edward mischievously chuckled in response as he slowly approached Sele.

"You... we would definitely be caught by someone if we do it he-"

Whoooosh!

Before Sele could finish her words, Edward had already hugged her waist as he then carried her to fly up the trees and follow after the Dark Elf.

"Don't worry, I know what to prioritize first," Edward replied as soon as he landed on top of one of the trees. He then jumped from another tree to catch up with that Dark Elf.

"What do you mean?" Sele quickly asked as she was still confused about what's going on right now.

"We have a job to do," Edward said as he pointed at the Dark Elf currently in front of them, still completely unaware about their presence.

Seeing the Dark Elf jumping from one tree to another, Sele quickly understood what Edward meant with his words.

"I'll remind you first before you decide to do something stupid again like the last time when were gathering information in the Emerald City. We are not to kill that person, instead, we would only be following behind until he takes us to their base. After that, we will return and report to Leo about what we have found, understood?" Edward asked as he looked straight at Sele's eyes.

"Hehehe," Sele scratched her cheeks in response as she felt ashamed at what she did the last time. She eventually nodded her head in response.

Edward smiled as he kissed Sele's forehead and let go of hugging her waist, dropping her carefully down on the top of a stem of a tree that he had landed.

"Try to keep up," Edward said as he then went ahead.

"I will," Sele nodded her head, her face right after turning solemn before quickly following behind Edward.

.....

As soon as Ethan noticed Edward's presence had disappeared, which surprisingly also includes Sele, he quickly understood that his older brother should be now chasing after that person who he could guess should be a part of the Wolf Howl organization.

"Mister Loki," Ethan called out, intending to report to Leo about what just happened.

Leo turned his head to look at Ethan and asked, "Yes?"

"Before arriving here, I've told Edward before to keep watch on the surrounding area of the Smiling Lion Village in case someone was actually watching Elvis and his Night Ear group in secret. And just now Edward's presence had disappeared along with Sele. So I believe that he had spotted someone which I assume is from the Wolf Howl organization and should be following after that person right now to find out about where their base is located at," Ethan reported.

"Good," Leo nodded his head.

"Wouldn't they be in danger if they get found out?" Elvis can't help asking as he heard Leo and Ethan's conversation.

"You don't have to worry, Ethan's older brother, Edward, is actually a 9 Star Mage and Sele with him is a 6 Star Mage. If something goes wrong, their strength alone should be enough to let them safely escape," Leo waved his hand to express that there is no problem.

"I see," Elvis nodded his head in understanding. With the strength of a 9 Star Mage, it's indeed safe to say that they can escape safely once something dangerous happens while they are following behind the members of Wolf Howl organization. Consequently, deep inside of him, he was also feeling shocked again after hearing that revelation. It seems like he has still vastly underestimated the strength that the Mischievous Lion Guild possessed. Now he knew that aside from having a 1st Galaxy Mage, they also have someone with the strength of a 9 Star Mage. He can't help wanting to know if there are actually still more people who are powerful in this Guild. But based on the information he had learned so far, there might indeed just be more aside from Ethan and Edward.

"Anyways," Leo turned to look at the others behind Ethan, Elaine, and Elvis, specifically the four injured Elves and those members of the Mischievous Lion Guild who had rescued them. He had seriously almost forgotten about them just now. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Take them to the Healers before continuing with your given task."

"Roger that,"

After seeing them leave, Leo then turned to look at Ethan, Elaine, and Elvis again and said, "I need to discuss something very important to the three of you. It's about the development plan of the Mischievous Lion Guild."

Ethan, Elaine, and Elvis' faces quickly turned serious after hearing the mention of the word 'Something very important.' They all quickly sat on the nearby chairs.

"It's like this," Leo said as he turned to look at Elvis. He continued, "With the addition of Elvis in the Mischievous Lion Guild, we could finally begin the establishment of the Intelligence Department of our Guild."

"No offense, but I still doubt that Elvis is really capable enough," Ethan doubtfully asked. His doubt is not because Elvis is still a new member of the Mischievous Lion Guild, since in the first place Leo had personally recruited him. But although he fully trusts Leo's judgment, he still doesn't trust that Elvis was indeed capable enough for them to really begin the establishment of the Intelligence Department of the Mischievous Lion Guild. Simply put, he doesn't fully trust yet that Elvis could indeed lead their Intelligence Department.

The Intelligence Department of the Mischievous Lion Guild was one of the plans that they have discussed about before arriving in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

This plan belongs to the important category of the development plan of Mischievous Lion Guild. As such, they are required to treat it with full seriousness. They absolutely can't afford to be casual about it because one wrong move and it would spell trouble for them... to be more precise, serious, huge trouble.

Every proper Guild has their own Intelligence Department. It's basically a place where Information Dealers and the likes, such as Elvis and his Night Ear group, though the difference is they are members of the Guild, would be gathered together and are given the task to gather all sorts of information both inside and outside of their Guild. The information they have gathered would help the Guild prepare against their enemies.

It might seem to be an easy job, but in truth, it's actually one of the most difficult jobs in the Guild. Their main responsibility would require them to infiltrate, blend in, and gather information inside their enemy's bases, or worst case, headquarters, without getting found out.

Once they are discovered, then they would have no other choice left but to commit suicide. It's simply because they hold a lot of information about their Guild, which their enemy would definitely want to get their hands on in whatever means possible. Of course, they can also choose to live, that is if they can indeed successfully escape alive. But in most cases, they always die.

The main problem is, staying hidden without getting found out while gathering information is an extremely difficult job to do, especially with the existence of many methods to find out the truth.

That's the exact reason why Ethan believed that Elvis doesn't have enough capability to complete such a job. In his opinion, such a job requires a strict standard to have in order to get that position, so they can't just randomly pick someone and say, "You will take the responsibility to create the Intelligence Department of our Guild!"

At the side, Elvis chooses to remain silent as he knew clearly what Ethan meant with his words. In fact, he also agrees about what he had said, that he still isn't capable enough. And to begin with, they shouldn't even think of giving him such a responsibility yet because he is still considered as a newly accepted member of the Mischievous Lion Guild. He's really curious as to why Mister Loki had thought of giving him such a responsibility. Is he perhaps an idiot of a person? Or is there actually a deeper meaning behind his decision right now? That's what he wanted to know.
