Leo didn't have any ounce of suspicion of what Elmore had said. The latter's String of Fate is still green, meaning to say that he's not an enemy nor is he a member of the Naughty Elves organization. Though he doesn't expect that everything he had said just now was indeed the truth. There should be some slight variations to what had really happened. But, that's not what is important right now. 

The important thing is there is no trouble and that Elmore is obviously here to help them. 

Exactly what they needed...

"So, what's the next plan?" Elmore asked. 

"Well, you kinda already did it," Elmont replied. 

"You mean to say that you guys were supposedly only planning to catch Willis now?" Elmore asked, a bit nervous. He added, "Did I... maybe, ruined your plan?"

"No," Leo shook his head, he corrected, "Rather, you made the plan even more better!"

As soon as Leo finished his words, another person suddenly stepped out of the shadows behind another hallway.

It was Brother Elfin!

"Then how about if you include me in your little game as well?" Brother Elfin said with a smile on his face. 

"First Brother!" Elmore, Elmont, Princess Tifa, and Princess Tila immediately greeted. 

Once again, Leo, Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale bowed their heads a bit in greetings.

"So, what would happen if you include me, Brother Leo?" Brother Elfin asked again. 

With a smile on his face, Leo replied, "Of course, it would become a bigger game!"

"Sounds great to me, I'm in!" Brother Elfin exclaimed.

"Count me in, as well," Elmore joined in. 

"Well, I'm long already in," Elmont said.

Grabbing Princess Tifa's hand, Princess Tila said, "We both are also in!"

"So, what's the plan, Leo?" Elvis turned to look at Leo. 

Angel, Iasiah, Nightingale, Brother Elfin, Elmore, Elmont, Princess Tifa, and Princess Tila also turned to look at Leo.

"Very simple..." Leo began telling everyone his plan. 

.....

At this moment, the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle are now starting to feel a bit nervous as they had already heard that after Gato was successfully caught, Willis soon followed after. 

Unfortunately, because they can't risk their real identity getting accidentally exposed, they didn't dare to gather together to discuss about what they should do. 

They were all left speculating about what had exactly happened to Gato and how was Willis caught.

Although they have all been trained by the Naughty Elves organization on what they should do when they are caught by their enemies, but due to Willis getting caught after Gato, they can't help but think if Leo and the others actually had a method to make them tell the truth. 

Their lack of communication with each other and isolation from their accomplices was exactly what lead them to start feeling nervous. 

Just when they thought that it would be the end, more of their accomplices were soon being invited to the torture chamber by both First Prince Elfin the Fifth and Second Prince Elmore. 

This action by the Evergreen royal family immediately leads to panic amongst all the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization. 

Even though they long already knew the high risk of dying from the moment they accepted the mission of infiltrating the Evergreen royal family's castle. As a person, no matter how ruthless and heartless they are, they still can't deny the truth that if ever they were presented the chance to live and survive, all of them would undoubtedly choose to grab that. 

Additionally, their speculation before that Leo and the others have a secret method to get the truth from them is now more or less confirmed to be a fact as they saw more of their accomplices getting caught.

That wasn't all, their accomplices working in the Evergreen Shadow organization were also getting caught one after another as well, making them even more in panic and scared.

As such, when the numbers of members of the Naughty Elves organization getting caught reached a certain degree, the remaining other accomplices immediately started making moves to save themselves or to salvage the situation.

Some thought of going to the torture chamber to confirm the real situation of their accomplices. 

However, as soon as they tried to sneak inside, they immediately started falling into traps. In the end, all of them were caught. 

What's fortunate though is that they were still able to learn of the real situation of their accomplices. 

Unfortunately, their discovery almost made them go crazy as they found out that they were actually all fooled by the Evergreen royal family. 

If only they remained calm and didn't panicked, then everything would have been fine. Their identity would have still remained a secret and this would have not happened to them. 

All of them really wanted to escape to inform the others of the truth, but no matter how much they struggled, it was next to impossible for them to escape. 

The methods that the Evergreen royal family had used to trapped them weren't only the instruments in the torture chamber, such as the metal instrument for the mouth or the cross-shaped table, but also Magic spells that could completely prevent them from escaping, such as Ice Coffin, Rock Sphere, Water Bubbles, and many others. As long as they were trapped inside such Magic spells and with them also being cuffed by Magic Restriction Bracelet, they could do nothing else aside from just watch as even more of their accomplices were being brought inside the torture chamber. 

Some thought of escaping through the bridges or the lake secretly. 

However, all of their efforts were all for nothing as they were easily seen by the loyal soldiers of the Evergreen royal family and the members of the Evergreen Shadow organization.

Honestly, that was the stupidest decision for them to choose. 

In order to escape from the Evergreen royal family's castle, they only have two paths to choose from, specifically to cross one of the four bridges or to swim in the lake. 

The huge problem though is that the four bridges and the lake are akin to an open area.

As long as one has eyes, it would be extremely easy to spot a person crossing the bridge or swimming in the lake. 

To make matters even easier, there is still the bright sun hung high up in the sky. 

In such a situation, only a person without eyes would not be able to see any of those people. 

Although some were smart enough to wait until the evening before choosing to escape. 

Unfortunately, they were still easily caught because not only were there even more soldiers keeping a lookout in all possible escape routes around the Evergreen royal family's castle but there are also now thousands of soldiers sent by Commander Vargas waiting for anyone that had successfully crossed the bridge or had reached the land from the lake.

Lastly, some choose to remain in the Evergreen royal family's castle and hide. 

Nevertheless, with the ongoing search of the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle, they were all still eventually caught. After all, why else would they be hiding if they were innocent, right? 

Although some were smart enough to pretend to be loyal to the Evergreen royal family and had pretended to join the search. Their masquerade still bears no fruit, because at the end of the day, all of the people working in the Evergreen royal family's castle were gathered together to swear an Oath of their loyalty to the Evergreen royal family once again. 

With that, all the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle were all successfully caught. 

As soon as the morning sun appeared in the sky the next day, all of the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization that were successfully caught were immediately executed one by one in front of tens of thousands of crowds of people. 

This action was like an announcement from the Evergreen royal family to the members of the Naughty Elves organization hidden in the crowd that this is what their endings would be once they are successfully caught.

Leo, Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, Nightingale, and the five children of Uncle Elfin were all given a reward for their efforts of eradicating the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

But unlike the show of the execution of the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization that happened in the morning where tens of thousands of crowds of people were watching, their rewards were instead given only in the presence of King Elfin the Fourth, Queen Tina, Commander Vargas, and the representatives of a few other trusted allies of the Evergreen royal family that could attend the sudden summon to the Evergreen royal family's castle.

Dressed in his green-colored royal king's attire, Uncle Elfin stood in front of his throne with Aunt Tina, dressed in a beautiful green-colored royal queen's attire, standing beside him. 

Down below the two of them were Leo and the others who contributed to this event and farther behind them were tens of people. 

"I, Elfin the Fourth Evergreen, the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, hereby announce that through the combined efforts of Guild Leader Loki, Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale from the Mischievous Lion Guild, and First Prince Elfin the Fifth, Second Prince Elmore, Seventh Prince Elmont, Second Princess Tifa, and Third Princess Tila from the Evergreen royal family had successfully eradicated and purged all of the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle!" 

A round of applause immediately erupted after King Elfin the Fourth finished his speech.
