"Levi, you come with us," Leo called out to Levi, who was shuddering in a corner, afraid that Leo would scold him after causing him trouble just now.
"Okay..." Levi replied nervously. He really didn't mean to cause Leo any trouble. Vox and him were just simply playing together a while ago and then they decided to come to this place thinking that nobody was here as it was so silent. But then when they got inside, they found Eilajah hatching some Magical Beast's eggs. Eilajah turned to look at them in curiosity, and it was then that his identity as a Leviathan was discovered, which is honestly something that he didn't expect to happen because despite already meeting a lot of people after all of this time, it was only at this moment that his identity was discovered.
"Be sure to behave, and take this," Leo said before throwing a Storage Ring to Levi.
Levi quickly caught the Storage Ring, and without any hesitation, he looked inside of it.
Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
In the next moment, Levi started circling up on the air to express his happiness. He soon landed on Leo's shoulder before rubbing his head to Leo's cheeks to express his affection.
"Soon, we will sign a contract with the help of Eilajah, and after that, you will officially become my Beast Companion, just like what your parents had told me to do," Leo rubs Levi's head.
"Okayyyyy!" Levi nodded his head excitedly before flying back up again.
"Parents?" Eilajah asked in shock. He continued, "You mean to say that you have met more Leviathans before?"
"Yes," Leo replied, but he heaves a heavy sigh before explaining, "But unfortunately, both of them had died as they decided to sacrifice themselves to save everyone,"
"That's really unfortunate..." Eilajah expressed his pity. Based on the book that he had read before about the Leviathans, there were less than a hundred Leviathans to ever be recorded to exist. So, if one of them died, that will cause their total population to slowly come closer to extinction. The mere thought of having such a powerful species of Magical Beast becoming extinct is really such an unfortunate thing to happen. Not only because they will cease to exist in the Celestial World but also because every knowledge that could be learned from them will disappear and never be discovered again.
If Leo knew about what Eilajah was thinking right now, he would definitely mock the latter for having such shallow thoughts. The purpose of the Leviathan's existence in the Celestial World was never just to merely provide the people like them with more power or knowledge, but rather it was to protect them from the Gods of the Celestial World. That's why if ever the Leviathans cease to exist, the people living in the Celestial World would lose one of the chances to fight back and protect themselves from the Gods of the Celestial World.
Soon, Leo, Levi, and Eilajah arrived at an office room that occupies an entire floor located at the top-most floor of one of the hotels that the Mischievous Lion Guild has finished building. It was the place where Ethan and Elaine were busily working on some important matters concerning about the Mischievous Lion Guild, which includes accepting members or deciding important decisions, along with the members of the Bravo Lion team.
Walking inside the office, Leo immediately noticed that it was almost covered with stacks upon stacks of papers. Some stacks of papers even reached up to 10 feet high.
Coincidentally, Elvis was also inside, currently talking with Ethan about something that seems to be serious.
Ethan had reminded Leo before to come here today as he has something to give to him. He also said that he was going to introduce to him his own office, making him a bit excited because he finally has a proper place to work, unlike before where he could only work inside a tent.
"Mister Loki, you're finally here," Ethan called out to Leo after he noticed him walking inside. He quickly stood up from his chair and stored a few stacks of papers by his side inside a Storage Ring. And after doing that, he walked towards Leo and handed him the Storage Ring.
"What are all of those papers for?" Leo can't help asking after receiving the Storage Ring from Ethan.
"Those were all important documents that can only be signed by the Guild Leader himself," Ethan replied as he then quickly explained, "It includes job request from the Noble Households, request of cooperation from the top Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, invitations by some prominent figures from both politics and military, which also includes some invitation letter from noble ladies, for you know, that kind of thing that I don't need to mention about... and curiously, there's a strange request for sponsorship,"
"I don't really know what exactly that sponsorship-thing is for, but Elvis here was the one who sent that letter to me just now. As he was going to explain to me about it, you suddenly came inside, so I'll leave the explaining to him instead.
"And last but not the least, a request to join the Mischievous Lion Guild. I'll leave all of those things to you to handle, while I'll be busy over there dealing with the matters about the construction of the Smiling Lion Village, again..." Ethan quickly returned back to his table in a bad mood after he finished explaining and buried himself back again with mountains of work. To be honest, his situation right now is no different back then when he was still the Fourth Prince of the Silver royal family. Though he also understood that this is only for the meantime, as the Mischievous Lion Guild is still at its beginning phase. It still can't change the fact though that he's in bad mood right now.
"Okay..." Leo was a bit speechless at Ethan's action just now. It seems like Ethan is not happy about the fact that his working inside an office while the others are currently doing a lot of interesting things outside, including his older brother, Edward.
Leo turned to look at the inside of the Storage Ring while thinking about how many papers exactly were inside. In the next moment, he can't help heaving a heavy sigh of helplessness.
No wonder Ethan was not happy just now, just his work alone already needs him to sign thousands of papers. Not to mention them, who all have over, ten... fifty... one hundred... or so of stacks of papers to finish working.
"Eilajah, come with me, let's finish with your matters first before I'll handle the rest of these," Leo said as he walked straight towards a room where he saw a sign with the word 'Guild Leader Office' written on top.
Soon, he sat down on his chair and took out all of those stacks of papers inside the Storage Ring, mostly consisting of request to join the Mischievous Lion Guild, which honestly speaking, is something he shouldn't be the one to handle since this job can be handled by the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild.
However, what can he do?
Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica are currently being trained by Ash to prepare for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.
While on the other hand, Charlotte, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre are currently preparing themselves to capture more Galaxy-level Magical Beast along with their respective teams.
Lastly, Lex and Virgil should be out there somewhere leading some members from the future Intelligence Department to collect more information that will help them in both the Emerald Event and Emerald Elven Battle Competition. As for Elvis, he's busy running back and forth with a few other members to report the information they have received.
Therefore, as someone who has nothing else to do, he would have to help Ethan and Elaine handle the so-called paperwork, specifically the most easiest but at the same time mentally draining job of all.
Honestly, he should start assigning other members here soon, in particular, those weak but intelligent slaves he had bought, to handle all of this work here.
It's really not appropriate, and not to mention wasteful, to assign Ethan, Elaine, and the Bravo Lion team to handle the work here. They should be out there along with the other teams, completing productive missions like capturing Galaxy-level Magical Beast, and contributing more resources to the Mischievous Lion Guild.
"Here," Leo handed Eilajah a contract, which states not only he can't betray the Mischievous Lion Guild and the other necessary details that all the members needed to follow, but also that he should keep the secret about Levi's real identity as a Leviathan to himself.
After finishing reading the contract and finding no problems with any details about it, Eilajah then signed his name on it.
Whoooooosh!
The contract turned into Mana particles as they went inside Eilajah's consciousness.
"Now you are officially a member of the Mischievous Lion Guild," Leo said with a smile on his face. He continued, "Your first job is to successfully hatch ten thousand Magical Beast's eggs. Once you're done with that, write a detailed report to me and I will give you the next task, understand?"
"Yes, Guild Leader Loki," Eilajah nodded his head.
"You can leave now," Leo said as he motioned his hand toward the door.
"Okay!" Eilajah replied before quickly leaving to return back to the Magical Beasts Center.
After seeing Eilajah leave, Leo then motioned his hand for Elvis to get inside his office.
"Yes, Guild Leader Loki... I mean, Guild Leader Leo," Elvis said.
"So, what exactly is this sponsorship-thing for?" Leo quickly asked. He's really curious to know about this sponsorship-thing that Ethan and Elvis had mentioned to him.
Honestly, he has long been intrigued about the idea of sponsorship from the first time he encountered such a thing from Madam Silva in the past. That's why he wants to know if this sponsorship is the same as the sponsorship that he received from Madam Silva? Or is this something else?
No matter what it is though, as long as he could benefit from this sponsorship without him giving something that he can't afford to lose, then he will accept it.
But first, he should listen to what Elvis is going to explain to him....
