The next day, a letter from Commander Vargas arrived bearing the news that Mister Loki and his Mischievous Lion Guild are now official participants of the Emerald Event.

Without any hesitation, Leo quickly gathered the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, specifically Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, old man Torre, Elvis, Lex, and Virgil.

"I just received a letter from Commander Vargas telling us that we are now official participants of the Emerald Event," Leo informed everyone about the good news.

"So, how should we divide the work?" Ethan quickly asked.

"We have a total of two hundred members in the Mischievous Lion Guild aside from us right now. Fifty are from the Smiling Lion group, another fifty are from the Eclipse troops, and the remaining one hundred are all my slaves," Leo said before grabbing a pen and paper before beginning to write something.

After writing, Leo then said, "The members from the Smiling Lion group would be in-charged of gathering information for the location of the Magical Beasts. My slaves would continue the construction of the Smiling Lion Village. And lastly, only the members from the Eclipse troops would be assisting us in capturing the Magical Beasts for the Emerald Event. If you have any suggestions, please bring them up,"

Cassandra raised her hand and asked, "Wouldn't it be more productive if we only allocate fifty Slaves to continue the construction of the Smiling Lion Village?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "I'm very confident that we would be able to easily rank at the top 100 of the Emerald Event. So, we need to quickly finish the territory of the Mischievous Lion Guild in order to give the best accommodation for our members and to also attract more members to join. I also want to open the Smiling Lion Village to the public as early as possible in order for us to generate income and hence quickly earn back the money we have used to construct this territory-"

"Why do we need to quickly earn back the money we have spent for the Smiling Lion Village?" Elizabeth can't help interrupting.

"Because I believe that we would most likely only be staying here in the Emerald Tree Kingdom for two months or so. Therefore, to prepare for our future journey, we need to get the money we have spent back," Leo replied.

"Fair enough," Elizabeth nodded her head in agreement.

"Indeed," Angel seconded.

"I agree!" Veronica expressed her agreement, she then explained, "With the additional four and a half square kilometers of territory we have expanded yesterday, finishing its construction with only fifty people would certainly take a month or so, thus only allowing us to earn back what we have lost for a month or so, which honestly speaking, is really not enough of a time,"

"I'm fine with that as well. But, how many teams could fifty members make that will allow them to move safely and at the same time effectively?" Ash curiously asked. Having fifty people to contribute to the Emerald Event is alright, but reaching top 100 would be very difficult.

"Five teams, each team will have ten members with an Executive as their Leaders," Leo replied before adding, "Anyways, if you don't have any more suggestion, I'll start assigning the Executives to the five teams,"

"No suggestion," Charlotte said.

"You can continue," Ethan added.

"Okay," Leo nodded his head, "Team Alpha Lion would have me, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte. Team Bravo Lion would have Ethan and Elaine. Team Charlie Lion would have Chief Lago. Team Delta Lion would have Sebastian and Dan. And lastly, Team Eagle-Lion would have Old man Torre. Any objections?"

"None,"

"Nope,"

"No problem,"

Everyone was quickly able to understand the reason for Leo's allocation.

Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte were all ticking time bombs that only Leo could handle, hence allocating them to his Team Alpha Lion would be the best choice since giving them to the others might just cause a lot of trouble to the entire Mischievous Lion Guild.

Ethan and Elaine are husband and wife, hence the reason for the both of them in the Team Bravo Lion.

Chief Lago is a 9 Star Mage, so he alone is enough to handle Team Charlie Lion.

Sebastian and Dan are a good duo, one is good in the assault while the other is good in support. With the two of them cooperating, it would certainly be enough to lead the Team Delta Lion.

Lastly, old man Torre is a Defensive Mage, so he alone could take care of Team Eagle Lion.

Actually, if Edward and Sele were here, they would have been allocated to a single team together, allowing Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre to be in a single team. But since the two were currently still investigating the Wolf Howl organization, they can't be part of a team yet.

"Then let's proceed," Leo said as he stood up from his chair and left the meeting tent.

Everyone quickly followed after as each of them then began preparing for finally joining the Emerald Event.

Meanwhile, Leo quickly went to look for Slave One to Slave Twenty after leaving the tent. He would be assigning them to manage the construction of the Smiling Lion Village while they are busy with the Emerald Event.

It was only noon when everyone finally finished preparing. Without wasting any more time, Leo and everyone left the Smiling Lion Village as they began taking their own paths to begin catching Magical Beasts.

The Team Alpha Lion that Leo had assigned to himself and Cassandra and the others were made up of members with a cultivation of 2 Star to 4 Star level. He also decided to recruit Ahmed, Jasmine, and Brad to join this team, as the three of them were candidates to join the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

Leo and his Team Alpha Lion choose the north as their destination. It's simply because this was the place where the Magical Beasts only have the cultivation of No Star to 5 Star level according to the map.

With the strength of the entire Team Alpha Lion, choosing this location was the best for them as they could experience a bit of difficulty while at the same time not losing any of their members.

Although points are very important for the participants in the Emerald Event in order for them to qualify for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, that excludes their Mischievous Lion Guild.

The reason for that is simply because after they would successfully capture a Galaxy level Magical Beast and submit it to the Evergreen royal family, their qualification for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition would be a sure guarantee. Therefore, there is no need to bother with earning points. In fact, the only reason why he still decided to capture Magical Beasts was to use the points they would earn to exchange for other things from the participants of the Emerald Event. In such a way, he would be able to earn plenty of benefits.

Aside from that reason, he also wanted to start a secret competition in the Mischievous Lion Guild.

Whoever earns the most points in the Emerald Event would get some rewards from him. For example, Magical resources that they can use to improve their cultivation, equipment, weapons, and many more that he had been buying all this time in the Emerald City, and a powerful Magical Beast mount that both Eilajah and Steve are currently taking care of right now. As for the Executives of the team that won, he would give them an Element Orb of their own choice.

He will not be telling anyone about this secret competition so that he will be able to see clearly which team has made the best effort without being told to do so. After all, if a competition is mentioned, every member of the Mischievous Lion Guild that is currently participating in the Emerald Event would obviously start making an effort to earn as many points as possible to win and get the prize of the competition. Although that is actually the best for them in this Emerald Event, but in turn, he will not be able to see clearly which person is worthy to invest.

It's understandable to see every member making an effort for a competition with a prize that will allow them to become more powerful and improve their cultivation. But what he wanted to find are those members that are really putting an effort not only because there are a competition and a price at the end, but even without any competition they would still put an effort because they genuinely wanted to grow and reach greater heights in their life. In other words, members with a much more bigger ambition than the other members.

Only those kinds of members could really help him in his goal of fighting against the Gods. Of course, everyone could help him, but what he needed are members that can give him a big help, a large help, or a huge help. That's what he needed, not members that are only giving him small help. Though he clearly knows that a small help, when added together, could result in a much more bigger help, but what if an already bigger, larger, or huge help is added together? It would definitely result in something that a mere small help added together could not be able to compare to.

Of course, he will not just ignore the so-called small help, because help is still considered as a help. That's why each member was put into random teams so that even if he found those people he wanted, the rest would still be able to benefit out from it. Also, only Fate knows, maybe that so-called small help would unexpectedly become a big help once they earned those benefits.
