Although there were now more of them traveling, the journey to Blue Coral city was still very troublesome, since they were traveling in the Underground World. In fact, they were delayed by tens of times already due to ignorant people looking for a fight after getting attracted to Charlotte, Gretchen, and Princess Elaine's beauty, hence getting beaten up by Leo's group in no time.

To be honest, there were plenty of times that they really want to reveal themselves as members of the Mischievous Lion organization so as to easily avoid all these troubles, but Leo always reminded them not to because it would only attract some unnecessary attention to them, which would also most likely reveal their current whereabouts to the Black organization.

It was only a day later when they finally reached the Underground World of Blue Coral city, a place known for being the best at smuggling goods and pirates.

Walking in this place, although it was a bit similar to Lion Heart city's Underground World where it is built literally underground, they could still see that there were a lot of difference, such as the numerous sea-related stuff, not only with the items they were selling but so was how the place was built, specifically like an aquarium.

Their ceiling was a combination of the seafloor and some Magic glass to see above them. There were also a few tube-like things where it is used for launching people speedily up on the surface of the ocean using Magic, specifically where their boats would most likely be waiting for them, and there were also some cave-like parking places for the boats of much richer people.

Because it was located right by the sea, this place also became like an outpost or a docking area for people from other Kingdoms and Empires, either of Humans or Foreign races, that want to rest and gather more supplies before continuing their journey.

Moments later, Leo and the others finally arrived at the Mischievous Lion organization base.

Because of how secretly hidden was the Mischievous Lion organization, their base was only a house, not anything fancy, big, or something great, just a normal-looking house located at the very corner of the Blue Coral city's Underground World. Though this place actually has an underground facility, but it is still considered as small, which is actually still enough for them considering that the Mischievous Lion members-only returns to this place whenever they want to accept a mission, for a meeting, or to hand over the completed mission and hence receive the reward from the client.

"Welcome, your Excellency, Leo!" A woman in her 30s greeted Leo's group as soon as they entered the house.

"Margaret!" Gretchen called out while waving her hand.

"Oh, your Excellency, Gretchen, is actually also here!" Margaret immediately ignored Leo and went to approach Gretchen.

Seeing this, Leo didn't care about Margaret ignoring him because he was long aware that Gretchen and Margaret are best friends, and the latter is even one of the trusted subordinate of the former.

"What brings you here?" Margaret asked curiously.

"To visit you!" Gretchen replied before hugging Margaret.

After hugging each other, Margaret then suddenly said, "As if that's the only reason," She turned to look at Leo, "Excellency, Leo, is even with you, and with the current war going on right now, it's very obvious that you are doing some secret mission."

"Hehehehe," Gretchen awkwardly laughed, "Well, it isn't really something that requires us to hide what we are doing to our fellow Mischievous Lion members, and in fact, we would also be revealing it to this branch, later on, hence there is no problem telling you first."

"Oh, so does this meant I'm also going to be included in this?" Margaret can't help asking.

Gretchen nodded her head and replied, "Indeed, you will be included in this, just simply because you are one of my subordinates."

"That's great!" Margaret clasped her hands in delight, "Let's get inside first,"

"Okay!" Gretchen nodded her head before motioning for Leo and the others to follow after her.

The moment Charlotte and the others entered the house, they immediately became dumbfounded. What greeted them was something similar to every normal houses; it has a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom upstairs. Absolutely nothing in this place could really lead to it being the base of the Mischievous Lion organization.

"So, what kind of operation is this? What is the reward, or rather how much is the reward?" Margaret asked while pouring Leo and Gretchen a cup of tea.

"I'll let Leo discuss to you about this operation," Gretchen turned to look at Leo, seemingly like signaling him that it was now his turn to speak as her task is already done.

Leo nodded in return before finally discussing his plan with Margaret. It was pretty much a repeat to how he had discussed to Gretchen before.

.....

"Oh, then we are talking about tens of thousands of gold coins here?" Margaret walks in a circle while thinking. There was nothing wrong with the reward. In fact, the mission Leo had told her can be put in the same category as big missions. Usually, they would only be able to find missions like this once in every week, and the reward would only be in the thousands of gold coins as well. However, the only problem was that this mission requires a lot of manpower.

"Then I'm in, but as you have mentioned, you need more people, right? But, there are only a few remaining in this place, specifically 20 people only, as the others had already gone to meet up with their respective leaders or had formed a group to join in the war. However, you already know that we can't just leave this place unattended, so only 10 people could come with you, which of course includes me!" Margaret said.

"Every man counts." Leo didn't have a problem with that. Well, he actually has another plan, which is to use slaves again. Aside from that, he would also be putting up a job that can be accepted by thousands of people, specifically a bounty hunting job, and with that, he can recruit more manpower. Of course, he would only be giving it to other organizations in the Underground World that the Mischievous Lion organization can be trusted, secretly of course, since they can't openly recruit manpower as that would also reveal their intentions to not only the Black organization, but to the Silver royal family as well.

"But, we can't complete it with only less than a hundred of people." Margaret thought otherwise.

"Who said we only have less than a hundred of people?" Leo said before taking out a map of the entire Silver Kingdom, "Charles and George would be attacking the west of Southern Fortress, my Heart city would be attacking their north, the Southeast Fortress would be attacking the east, the Sword and Magic would be attacking inside, and lastly, not to mention we have her..."

Leo pointed at Princess Elaine, "Let me introduce to you, Princess Elaine, she would help persuade her mother, the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom, to agree with the alliance with Mischievous Lion organization. And with all of that finish, the Black organization would be surrounded in all corners, turning them into a cherry that we all can simply pick as we wish."

"Since it's only helping them, then doesn't that also meant we would be claiming the Southern Fortress as our base after this?" Margaret asked with excitement evident in her voice.

"Not only that, because after this, Sword and Magic would become our ally to fight against the remaining Black organization at the Williams city, and then the Silver royal family at the remaining other cities, hence finally claiming the entire Silver Kingdom as our, Mischievous Lion organization's, territory!" Leo finished with a mischievous smile on his face as he also draws a big circle encompassing the entire Silver Kingdom on the map.

"That's marvelous!" Margaret began clapping her hands, "I have finally witnessed for myself the mischievous smile of the smiling lion."

"Then what are you waiting for, Margaret, begin gathering the remaining members to this place. We need to begin this operation as soon as possible." Gretchen said.

"Roger that!" Margaret nodded before quickly leaving to call out the others.

With Margaret gone, Leo then turned to look at everyone as he said, "All of you go choose a place to sleep, we will be leaving for Heart city once Margaret returns. Except for you, Charlotte, I would be needing your help in a bit."

Princess Elaine and the others immediately nodded their heads as they began searching for a comfortable place to sleep. Fortunately, the men were courteous enough to give the 2 rooms upstairs to the ladies, specifically for Princess Elaine, Venice, and Jasmine.

"What is our next plan?" Gretchen asked Leo who was writing something on a piece of paper.

"Simple," Leo said while writing the last part on the paper as he then passed it to Gretchen afterwards, "Can you read this to the other organizations that we can trust? Tell them the same thing, that this mission would reward them tens of thousands of gold coins, depending on the result. Just don't mention to them who we would be fighting against as we only need the daring ones, not those careful organizations."

Gretchen accepted the letter, read its contents, before nodding her head with a smile on her face, "You can count on me!"

After saying that, Gretchen also left the house.

Now that everyone has either left to do something or taking a rest, leaving Leo and Charlotte alone, he could finally continue his cultivation that he was only able to do from time to time due to being extremely busy.
