With both Great Protector Lucid and Guild Leader Floyd finished signing an Oath, Leo turned his attention to Emir and Dominic. They had just picked themselves up after dodging Eben Nero's body which Osborne had accidentally thrown towards their direction just now. Or was that really just an accident?
After switching off the communicator, Leo then said, "I already got what I need, brother Elmont and Osborne,"
"Understood!" Elmont replied before quickly disregarding Edgar Pierce and going to the right side of Emir and Dominic.
Simultaneously, Osborne swiftly finished tying up Eben Nero's body onto a tree and went to the left side of Emir and Dominic.
Leo was already in front of Emir and Dominic, so he only needed to make a few steps forward to be in a good position against the two.
"What are you doing...." Emir asked while slowly retreating.
"Yeah... Were... weren't you supposedly going to eliminate Edgar Pierce and Eben Nero, and... and only choose one of us?" Dominic made a stuttering remark.
"Eh? When did we say that?" Elmont raised one of his eyebrows while wearing a smirk onto his face in a teasing manner.
"If I remembered correctly, we only said 'I'll take care' or 'I'll handle him. Never did we ever say that we are indeed going to eliminate Edgar Pierce and Eben Nero," Osborne added.
"Were you actually planning this from the start?!" Edgar Pierce was rendered a bit surprised after seeing Guild Leader Loki and the others' action.
"Having a rival like you, Edgar Pierce, is truly such a relief because I don't have to explain a lot of things just to make you understand," Elmont nodded his head in confirmation.
"But why us?" Emir honestly doesn't know how he had offended Guild Leader Loki and the others.
"We... we can help you deal against Edgar Pierce and Eben Nero. How about you consider things for a moment, just a moment," Dominic quickly proposed.
"Even though that is such a wonderful proposal you are offering to us, Dominic, and as a matter of fact, we might have actually accepted that if the case right now was different," Leo said as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile.
"What... what do you mean?" Dominic asked while panic was now slowly building up inside of his mind.
"Don't think that we don't know about both of your secrets," Elmont pointed his sword towards Emir and Dominic.
"Yeah, we know what you are both hiding," Osborne positioned his sword and shield facing Emir and Dominic.
"Secrets..." Emir and Dominic muttered while slowly backing away. Their foreheads were now sweating profusely, implying that they somewhat understood already what is actually going on.
"I have already confirmed that Eme Clarity is one of us, so is Edgar Pierce in our side as well," Leo asked Elmont.
"Both the Pierce Noble Household and Nero Noble Household are one of us, so there is no need to worry about the two of them," Elmont assured.
"Oh, was Eben Nero really on our side? It didn't seem like so," Osborne sarcastically remarked.
"I am not asking about that. Let them help us," Leo clarified what he meant.
"Ah," Elmont finally understood what Leo meant as he then turned his attention to Edgar Pierce and said, "Don't let them escape. They are one of the cancers,"
"Cancers?" Edgar Pierce thought for a bit before eventually understanding Elmont. Without any further thoughts, he swiftly moved to the back of Emir and Dominic.
Although not understanding what is currently going on, Eme Clarity still followed what Edgar was doing and moved to surround Emir and Dominic.
Hearing the mention of the word 'Cancer', Emir and Dominic finally confirmed the facts. Evidently, their real identities as members of the Naughty Elves organization were already discovered by Guild Leader Loki and the others.
"Since when did you know?" Emir wanted to know how Guild Leader Loki and the others had found out the truth.
"I supposed they already know from the start," Dominic expressed his thoughts.
"Found out about what?" Leo raised both of his eyebrows, acting like he didn't know what they meant. Needless to say, with their lines, their real identities were already confirmed.
"You... don't tell me that you were just testing us?" Emir asked in disbelief. He really doesn't dare believe that Guild Leader Loki didn't know their real identities. Because if that's indeed the case, then was everything from the start just a set-up? A mere set-up to cast out the two of them? If that's true, then this Guild Leader Loki is one hella scary person!
Indeed, everything that has just transpired was merely to prepare for this current situation. To be more precise, Leo has planned all of this from the start in order to rat out the members of the Naughty Elves organization. From making the four players go to the side and Elmont and Osborne choosing to fight against Edgar Pierce and Eben Nero, and to him having a transaction with Eme Clarity and Faye. All of that was so that Emir and Dominic would be cast aside from everyone and be cornered.
The reason why he was doing all of that is that he requires a very reasonable excuse. After all, he needs a proper reason to explain how he knows all members of the Naughty Elves organization when even the Evergreen royal family doesn't know about them that much.
He could easily explain how he knows the others as members of the Naughty Elves organization since they were just people from lowly Guilds or some weak teams from who knows where they came from.
However, Emir and Dominic are different, as they are members of two of the major independent Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, specifically the Cross Blade Guild and Flying Hammer Guild. And not just any ordinary members, but the geniuses that they have painstakingly trained to specifically participate in this year's Emerald Elven Battle Competition. As such, it would be really hard to explain how he had successfully infiltrated the two Guilds and got the information. In addition to that, their respective Guilds would without doubt come to him to demand an explanation if he just killed their geniuses without showing any proper reason, especially considering how important the Emerald Elven Battle Competition is for both Guilds.
And since he now has a proper reason for killing both Emir and Dominic, hence he doesn't have to hold back anymore.
