At this moment, a long line formed towards the entrance of the north gate to the Emerald City. Such a line though was expected, considering the ongoing Emerald Event. After all, events as good as Emerald Event could easily attract a lot of people to join, either if they are Elves or Foreign races, whether from nearby territories or not.

With no other choice, Leo and Cassandra could only choose to fall in line.

This was also the moment that Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre decided to reveal themselves as they also have no other choice left but to show themselves to Leo and Cassandra since they would definitely be left behind by them if they really decide to wait for some people to fall in line behind them first for them to use as a cover.

"Next time, just join us, hahaha," Leo reminded Chief Lago and the others while chuckling.

"Hehehehe," Chief Lago and the others could only scratch their heads to express their embarrassment. They really didn't expect that they would be found out in such an awkward way.

Seeming out of nowhere.....

ROAAAAARRR!

A loud bellow of a Magical Beast sounded behind them, causing everyone in the line to turn their heads around to look at where it came from.

Tens of meters away in front of them, a group made up of Goblins was pulling a big cage with a Magical Beast inside.

Seeing the Magical Beast, Leo was able to quickly recognize it as a Dark Razor Caiman.

The Dark Razor Caiman has a dark-colored 10 meters long body with a huge build and is covered by extremely sharp skin that can easily cut through skins, which is where it has gotten its 'Razor' name from. It has a long deadly mouth that is covered with tens of sharp teeth that can easily break the bones of its target. And its eyes were covered by its thick skin in order to avoid easily blinding them, but its murderous intent can still be seen and feel nonetheless. As for its cultivation, it is a 5 Star level Magical Beast, fairly powerful to be exact.

As soon as the group of Goblins appeared, the people in the line that recognized them quickly started whispering with each other.

"Hey look, aren't they the members of the level 6 Copper rank, Hunter Goblin Guild?"

"Do you mean to say the Hunter Goblin Guild that is being led by an 8 Star Mage Goblin?"

"That's the one! I heard that they are considered as a medium-size Guild in the Emerald Tree Kingdom,"

"One of my friends had told me that despite their groups being entirely made up of a bunch of Goblins, other medium-size Guilds are actually not willing to casually offend them,"

"Tch, don't be fooled by the power of their Guild! To tell you the truth, the Hunter Goblin Guild is considered as a lecherous and perverted group of Goblins. A lot of information is currently circulating around the Emerald Tree Kingdom saying that their Guild owns a lot of Pleasure Houses hidden around the territory."

"Yeah, I also heard that those Pleasure Houses are actually full of female slaves from all sorts of different races. They said that members of the Hunter Goblin Guild would go to those Pleasure Houses to have 'fun' and 'play',"

"Idiots! Even if that is true... No, that is indeed true... Nevermind that, the important part here is that the Hunter Goblin Guild is considered as a powerful Guild. And look at that Dark Razor Caiman, it's a freaking 5 Star level Magical Beast!"

"That's not all; look behind them, there's still nine more of those Dark Razor Caiman with similar cultivation as the first one. Once they exchange all of them for points, they would be able to earn 500 points, enough to shoot them straight to one of the top 100,"

"Indeed! And the best part is, the majority of the participants in the Emerald Event right now don't even have that much of points yet. This means, their hunt today would be enough to create a wide gap from the other participants in the early stage of the event. As long as they keep their momentum, they would certainly be able to get one of the top 100 spots at the end of the Emerald Event,"

Leo was then able to somewhat understand who these people were just from listening to the conversation of the people around them.

To sum up every important detail in the conversation, they are called the Hunter Goblin Guild. Their President is an 8 Star Mage, famous for being lecherous and perverted, powerful, and should not be easily offended.

Although that is indeed the case, he clearly knew that the Hunter Goblin Guild is still not worthy opponents for the Mischievous Lion Guild. In fact, Ethan alone should be enough to single-handedly defeat all of them.

"With that kind of strength, they are not worthy to become one of our competitors, thus no need to pay any further attention to them," Leo thought to himself as he informed Chief Lago and the others to just ignore them.

After a few minutes, the Hunter Goblin Guild finally arrived behind them as they then surprisingly continued moving towards the gate of the Emerald City.

ROAAAAARRR!

Seeing this, Leo can't help feeling curious as to why they are not falling in line. He looked at the gate and soon after finding out the reason why.

In front, the main gate was slowly opening, obviously intended to let the Hunter Goblin Guild enter the Emerald City without any hassle.

"Oh, so there is actually some kind of privileged for those people that participated in the Emerald Event," Leo quickly understood the reason why the Hunter Goblin Guild doesn't need to fall in line anymore. It's understandable, considering that they are pulling ten cages of 5 Star-level Magical Beasts with them.

While Leo was thinking though, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre suddenly moved forward to block for him and Cassandra.

"What do you need?" Chief Lago said with a serious tone in his voice.

Hearing Chief Lago's words, Leo quickly turned his head and looked at what is going on. And to his surprised, a muscular Goblin was actually in front of Chief Lago right now. Behind this muscular Goblin were ten tall Goblins, each showing a menacing look on their faces.

Observing closely, Leo quickly found out that the muscular Goblin has cultivation of 5 Star level while the ten tall Goblins behind him are all 4 Star level.

"Move weakling," The muscular Goblin threatened as he tried to push Chief Lago to the side using his green-colored left hand.

But before the muscular Goblin's hand could even touch Chief Lago's body, he had already grabbed the hand while saying, "And what if I don't?"

"Heh," The Muscular Goblin formed a sneer on his face as he looked straight at Chief Lago's eyes full of killing intent and saying, "Then don't blame me for losing your li-"

Whooosh!

Seemingly out of nowhere, a muscular green-colored hand suddenly flew up into the air before quickly being followed after by a green-colored blood spurting out from the shoulder that connected the hand that Chief Lago had grabbed just now.

"Ahhhh!"

Right after, an ear-splitting shriek sounded from the Muscular Goblin's mouth.

"Oh, did I perhaps used a lot of strength just now?" Chief Lago asked with a mocking look on his face while looking at the Muscular Goblin screaming out of pain.

"You..." The Muscular Goblin stared in disbelief at Chief Lago while his right hand was clasped on his bleeding left shoulder and at the same time casting a Healing Magic spell to stop the continuous flow of blood.

On the side, Leo's expression quickly turned dark. Without him realizing it, a troublesome situation has already appeared in front of him. Unlike the last time though, this time trouble was no longer just simply knocking on his door but had instead forcefully pushed the door open.

Remembering the information he had gotten from the conversation of the surrounding people about the Hunter Goblin Guild just now, Leo quickly turned his head to look at Cassandra by his side.

Just like what he had expected...

Sensing Leo's gaze, Cassandra slowly turned her head to look at him while biting her lips and showing him an apologetic and almost tearing look on her face.

"Just now..."

"I know," Leo shook his head to stop Cassandra from explaining. He put his right hand forward and grab the hood that she was currently holding with her trembling hands as he then slowly pulled it up to cover her face once again. After doing that, he pulled her to his body as he slowly looked at the Muscular Goblin currently in the middle of a confrontation with Chief Lago and the others.

Just before he turned his head to look at the main gate slowly opening in front of them, he had heard one of the Dark Razor Caiman loudly bellowing nearby them. The sound it has produced should have brought a powerful gush of wind, enough to cause the hood to slip off from Cassandra's head.

He could already somewhat guess that before Cassandra could move her hands to cover her face with the hood again, she realized that it was already too late as the lecherous and perverted members of the Hunter Goblin Guild had unfortunately already seen her.

However, what he doesn't know though was that why did her hand seemed to stop mid-motion and at the same time was also trembling? Did the members of the Hunter Goblin Guild perhaps cause her to feel afraid? Or is there actually another reason why?

Anyways, that's not the important problem right now...
