Leo could only heave a sigh of resignation in his really troublesome situation.

Ethan and the other men can\'t help him even if they could, while no matter what he says, Cassandra and the other women won\'t buy it. In their opinion, the situation right now is entirely his fault, even though that wasn\'t really the case.

He admits that it is indeed his fault about the burning of the other letters from the sponsors since it was him alone who had completely decided to do such a thing and had not gone to consult the others. But he would seriously not accept that his action was really wrong.

There is a reason for doing what he had done, specifically he wanted Madam Flores to have a good impression of the Mischievous Lion Guild and give them even more resources because of his sincerity, which in the end, had totally paid off. 

If he hadn\'t really done that, then there is no telling whether the Elves Secret organization would have indeed sent a total of 10,000 men in their two previous operations to capture Galaxy-level Magical Beasts or not. He\'s guessing already that they would at most send 5,000 men only. 

Aside from that, the Mischievous Lion Guild might not even be given a chance by Madam Flores to become a part of the alliance created by the Evergreen royal family, which also meant to say that he wouldn\'t have gotten such a huge opportunity the last time to go to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle to meet Uncle Elfin and his family, let alone established a pretty close relationship with all of them.

Nevertheless, explaining to Cassandra and the others wouldn\'t really change a single thing. After all, it wouldn\'t change their current situation right now of needing to line up so as to order custom-made suits and dresses.

All of a sudden, a hoarse voice called out to Leo.

"Guild Leader Loki, is that you?" 

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Leo didn\'t hesitate to ignore Cassandra and the others as he then turned his head to looked at the person who called him. The reason for his action was obviously so that he could escape from his current predicament. 

The moment Leo turned around, he immediately saw a tall green-colored Orc while being followed behind by a few Orcs with red-colored skin. 

It was Orcborg, the Guild Leader of the Red Fist Guild, who he had met during the auction of the Elves Secret organization. And behind him were a few of the Blood Orcs that he had bought during the auction.

"Guild Leader Orcborg, I didn\'t expect to meet you here," Leo replied, neither sounding cold nor close, as he then slowly walked towards Orcborg. 

The first and the last time he had met Orcborg was during the auction at the Elves Secret organization. And although their first meeting wasn\'t really something he could consider as being pleasant, it was also not something he could say was unpleasant as well. To be more precise, they parted on good terms. 

"Likewise," Orcborg said with a gentle smile on his face. He then quickly changed the topic, "Let me guess, you are also here to order custom-made suits and dresses for all of them, right?"

"Yeah," Leo said before scratching his head in embarrassment, he continued, "We just run into a small problem though,"

"Let me guess again, the lines to enter all the Tailoring stores in the Emerald City are extremely long?" Orcborg easily guessed. 

"As much as I hate to admit it, you are correct once again," Leo said as he heaves a sigh of helplessness. He then asked, "How about you, what are you doing here? Are you perhaps also here to order a custom-made suit for yourself?"

"What else? Everyone who comes to this location of the Emerald City only has one goal in their minds, especially if it is on the day of the end of the Emerald Event," Orcborg nodded his head. 

"Indeed, and considering that you have been participating in the Emerald Event for many times now, you should probably already have one of those scalpers over there reserved you a spot, right?" Leo said, a bit envious of Orcborg since he probably doesn\'t need to line up anymore. 

"Of course not," Orcborg shook his head, he continued, "Even though Orcs like me doesn\'t have that much intelligence, I would still not choose to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of gold coins just to reserve a spot in the line from these greedy scalpers,"

"These big-names in the Tailoring Association are indeed good in tailoring nice suits and dresses, the same applies with the medium-sized Tailoring stores as well. But for me, I prefer those underrated ones,"

Raising his head, Leo quickly asked Orcborg in curiosity, "Underrated Tailoring stores?"

Looking at the really long line of the Pinkston Tailoring store, Orcborg said, "Since you can no longer buy custom-made suits and dresses from here, then how about you come along with me? I\'ll take you to a Tailoring store that I assure you and your people won\'t certainly regret," 

Hearing Orcborg\'s words, Leo immediately turned to look at Cassandra and the others to ask them first if they were okay with that. For him, as long as he could get a custom-made suit that is fit for the theme of the ball, he is okay with it. But maybe the others wouldn\'t have the same preference as him, especially Cassandra and the other women.

"Do we have any other choice? It\'s not like we can queue in such a long line, right?" Cassandra said before quickly holding Leo\'s hand. She was only angry at the very beginning because they don\'t have any place to order a custom-made dress, but since they have one now, even if it can\'t be compared with the custom-made dresses that the Pinkston Tailoring store could tailor for their customers, she would still deem it perfect. What\'s really important for her is that the dress was given by Leo.

It wasn\'t only Cassandra who felt such a way, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte also felt the same. Their only disappointment was they weren\'t fast enough to hold Leo\'s hand. They also can\'t hold the other hand as that would seem like they are so desperate. 

Unlike them though, Elaine and Sele went to hold Ethan and Edward\'s hands respectively, trying to express that they are fine now. 

And as for Ellen, she seriously doesn\'t care that much about whether she would have a new custom-made dress or not during the ball. For her, being with Sebastian was the only thing that really matters. This was because she was already very used to only having a few different dresses to choose from for every occasion, regardless of how important such occasion was.

Seeing their response, Leo turned to look at Orcborg as he nodded his head and said, "We will be in your care then, Guild Leader Orcborg,"

"Just call me Orcborg, Guild Leader Loki," Orcborg said. 

"Then just call me Loki, Orcborg," Leo responded. 

Just from their conversation alone, it could be easily guessed that they could be considered as friends with one another now.

Following the lead of Orcborg, Leo and the others arrived at the so-called underrated Tailoring store that the former had mentioned after tens of minutes of walking. 

Unlike what they have expected along the journey here though, the Tailoring store that had appeared in front of them looked extremely shabby and was very damaged. It was also located inside an alley where only people doing shady business would choose.

Observing the Tailoring store, they immediately noticed plenty of cracks around the walls as if someone had smashed it into such an unfortunate state, a few holes on the roofs with still some traces of Earth Spike spell left behind, and one of its glass windows was broken into numerous pieces. The door was also no longer completely fixed on its doorframe as its upper portion was hanging off to the side. And last but not the least, its store sign with the words \'Lance\'s Tailoring store\' on it could be seen on the ground, with many footprints all around it, showing that it has been stepped on by many people, either deliberately or accidentally.

Without caring about the state of the Tailoring store, Orcborg stepped inside while calling, "Lance, buddy, I would be needing your Tailoring service again for the ball tomorrow in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle. Also, I bought a couple of my friends with me that would like to order custom-made suits and dresses as well,"

As soon as Orcborg finished his line, a ruckus followed after by a series of footsteps quickly sounded in front of everyone. 

In the next moment, an extremely handsome male Elf with a long blond hair and eyes wide opened pop-out out from the door behind the counter along with a few cartoons of boxes falling to the ground, "Did you just say customers?! Ouch! Damn the entrance of my box fortress has been destroyed! I have to fix this later before that crazy woman returned here again,"

Seeing such a somewhat crazed sight of Lance, who looked as if he haven\'t had any customers for many days now, plus the mentioned of having a box fortress which pretty much confirmed their assumption that this place has indeed been attacked by some people before, Leo and the others can\'t help immediately taking a step back as they started hesitating on whether they should really continue their plan of ordering some custom-made suits and dresses from this Tailoring store.
