    Leo can''t help feeling a bit sad. Ten or so of years ago, his father, Red Heart, died along with his mother, Rose Heart. It was the most darkest and depressing moment of his life.


    "I really didn''t expect that I would meet the son of my friend today," King Elfin the Fourth smiled. His impression of Leo now immediately turns for the better. Back then, he was still feeling a bit hesitant and skeptical about involving Leo in their secret operation, as he really can''t see what was special about him. But after knowing that he''s the son of his friend, he believes that there shouldn''t be that much of a problem. Additionally, just like Red Heart, base on what he had observed from Leo so far, thetter is also a capable person. As for how capable exactly Leo is, that would be something he would find outter on.


    "It should be because of Fate," Leo also smiled in response. He had just activated his unique capability to see the String of Fate, and in front of him right now, he could see a green-colored String of Fate connected from him to King Elfin the Fourth.


    This should be one of the reasons why they have this conversation today because right from the very beginning, they were already destined to meet. If it wasn''t this day that they have met with each other, then it would definitely be the next time.


    As long as the String of Fate remains green, a day would be destined toe where they would meet and help each other.


    However, unlike Elvis and Ejah, it would be next to impossible to invite King Elfin the Fourth toe with him to the Horizon Empire and help him with the Mischievous Lion Guild. After all, he''s a King and has a huge responsibility called the Emerald Tree Kingdom on his shoulder. Unless if the Emerald Tree Kingdom is unfortunately destroyed along with other more huge life-changing events, it might only be at that time where he would have a chance to persuade him.


    As of now, the most their rtionship could reach would most likely be close allies.


    "Fate?" King Elfin the Fourth turned to look at Elvis who also said the same exact thing a while ago. He let out a chuckle as he said, "It might indeed be because of that,"


    Deep inside of his thought, King Elfin the Fourth was feeling a bit unsure about iming that Fate is really the reason why they have met today. If their meeting today is really because of Fate, then does that also mean Red and Rose''s death were destined to happen ten or so of years ago? If so, then such a thing just sounded so unfair for them. Even though everyone would eventually die someday, but the thought of dying because it was their turn to die ording to Fate, who they don''t even know really exists or not, just doesn''t sound right and fair. Everyone should have the right to decide when they want to die and how they want to die, not ording to something called Fate, because if that''s really true, then all Mages might as well just stop cultivating because such a thing just makes all of their efforts as Mages meaningless and useless. Anyways, Fate is such aplicated and hard thing to exin, so there is no need to think any further about it. If his meeting with Leo today is really because of Fate, then Fate it would be.


    "I don''t really know a lot about my father''s past. He was such a mysterious man that likes to always keep everything to himself. Even my mother sometimes doesn''t know what my father is thinking about. So, I really apologize that I wasn''t able to know anything about you in advance," Leo said as he bowed his head a bit.


    "No need to feel sorry about it, even I didn''t know you were actually Red''s son. If I knew that from the very beginning, then I would have definitely weed you personally when you first arrived in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Though doing that now is already toote," King Elfin the Fourth shook his head. He paused for a bit to think about something before saying, "How about this... During the gathering the Evergreen royal family will host in the Evergreen royal family''s castle at the end of the Emerald Event, I would introduce you to the important people of the Emerald Tree Kingdom?"


    "That..." Leo really felt that King Elfin the Fourth''s choice was just so unnecessary. He really doesn''t need such a wee from one of his father''s friends. And besides, even with or without the introduction of King Elfin the Fourth, the important people of the Emerald Tree Kingdom would stille to know of him when the Emerald Elven Battle Competition finally begins. At that time, he would be showing to everyone that watches him how capable and strong he is.


    "Yes, let''s exactly do that. You don''t have to decline, just treat this as a little request from me. If you really dare to decline, then I tell you what, it would be the same as disrespecting me. Also, at least let me show my friend that I''m not mistreating his son, okay?" King Elfin the Fourth insisted,pletely not allowing Leo to have any excuses to decline.


    Leo could only have a helpless look on his face. But he still didn''t give up on his n to decline King Elfin the Fourth''s idea. He quickly began thinking inwardly about what he should say to decline. Wait... he could say that-


    However, before Leo could say anything, Angel immediately pulled him back as she said, "We will dly ept that, your Majesty,"


    King Elfin the Fourth smiled in delight as he said, "I like this woman. As your father''s friend, I hereby announce that I approve of Angel to be one of your women!"


    "Hehehehe," Angel can''t help giggling.


    Leo could only shake his head after seeing that it was already toote for him to decline. Well, being introduced to the important people of the Emerald Tree Kingdom by King Elfin the Fourth himself doesn''t really sound that bad.


    "I heard that you also have more women... I mean wives, with you, so bring them along as well. Since your parents can''t no longer check them and see for themselves whether they have the qualities and have reached the standards to be your wives, then I''ll do it for them," King Elfin the Fourth said with a wink. He added, "And most importantly, call me Uncle Elfin from now on. Your Majesty or King Elfin the Fourth sounded so distant, I don''t like it,"


    "Okay, your... I mean, Uncle Elfin," Leo nodded his head in resignation. What else could he do? Even if he declined it, King... Uncle Elfin would still look for another reason to forcefully make him ept it. He might just even use his parents again like a while ago, leaving him unable to refute it.


    Seeing Leo''s resignation, Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale immediately startedughing. They really find it so hrious seeing Leo continuously feeling helpless to the point that he was unable to defend himself against King Elfin the Fourth''s relentless insisting and could onlypletely give up and ept his Fate.


    Even though they are already long aware of the fact that Leo would definitely make them pay forughing at his unfortunate situation, they all still choose to continueughing. In their minds, they all thought, "We will ept our punishmentter, but you will never be able to stop us fromughing at you this time!"


    Indeed, Leo was unable to stop Angel and the others fromughing at him. It wasn''t because he doesn''t want to, it is simply because stopping them would be the same as admitting to them that he was defeated by his Uncle Elfin.


    Even if he was indeed defeated by his Uncle Elfin, which he honestly can''t deny, but at least let him keep his dignity intact, right? After all, he''s still the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild. It would be bad for him to let his men make fun of him because he admitted that he was defeated by his Uncle Elfin.


    It would have been fine if he was defeated through a battle, as that would be understandable considering the fact that his Uncle Elfin is the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom and also a Gxy Mage. Not to mention, he definitely has more battle experiencepared to him. However, he was defeated by an extremely simple argument.


    That''s apletely different story. The former wouldn''t be shameful for him to admit, but it would certainly be for thetter.


    Just you wait, Uncle Elfin. I''ll definitely make you pay for this in the future!


    After swearing revenge inwardly, Leo and his Uncle Elfin continued talking about different topics.. This time, Angel and the others were also finally included in the conversation and weren''t left to the side to listen.
