Leo completely ignored the latter line of Lance after he confirmed the price of the custom-made suits and dresses to be 150,000 gold coins. It was like his ears immediately shut down and doesn't want to hear anything that Lance is blubbering about anymore. Not because he was rude or something similar to that, but rather because he just can't believe that the price of the custom-made suits and dresses would actually reach such an expensive price. 

Earlier ago, he was already prepared to pay even 50,000 gold coins for all the custom-made suits and dresses that they have ordered, especially after considering how perfect the samples were. Yet in the end, it turns out that the price is actually thrice that amount!

"Ehem!" Leo cleared his throat before asking, "If it is okay to ask, what kind of materials do you exactly plan on using in making those custom-made suits and dresses?"

"Normally, I would be using 5-Star level materials, but considering that you are the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild, I thought of using 9-Star level materials instead. Only such a grade of materials would be befitting of someone with your status," Lance replied. 

"For... for everyone?" Leo staggeringly asked. 

"I really didn't expect that Guild Leader Loki is actually such a great joker, hahaha!" Lance said with a laugh. After laughing, he continued, "Of course not! I will only be using 5-Star level materials for the custom-made suits and dresses of the others. Only your suit would be made out of 9-Star level materials,"

If I really used 9-Star level materials for everything, then it would definitely cost you more than 150,000 gold coins. Even with the 50% discount that I have given you, you will still be spending more than a million gold coins for all of it,"

"Not to mention, with such superb and high-quality materials, I will definitely not be able to finish tailoring all of those custom-made suits and dresses that you have ordered from me for only a day or so of time given, which will cause all of you do not have any suits and dresses to wear in tomorrow's ball," 

"But if you really want though, then we can totally make a separate order for those kinds of suits and-"

Leo decisively interrupted Lance from finishing with his sentence, as he then said, "There's really no need for such a superb and high-level suit. I'm merely going to use it in a ball, not a battlefield or something of the likes. So, let's just go with the 5-Star level materials for everything!" 

"Are you really sure? You might be needing it for something really important in the coming days," Lance said while wearing a meaningful smile on his face. 

Seeing Lance's meaningful smile, Leo's expression immediately turned solemn as he realized what he meant with his words.

"I thought that you didn't know the Mischievous Lion Guild?" Leo asked, wanting to confirm whether his assumption was indeed correct or was it merely his imagination.

"Indeed, I don't know the Mischievous Lion Guild. And in fact, this is also just my first time hearing such a name. But Princess Tifa had mentioned something really interesting to me before she finally left after destroying my Tailoring store yesterday," Lance paused while wearing a gentle smile on his face. He then continued, "Even though it was somewhat vague and hard to decipher, and there was also no mention of the words 'Mischievous Lion Guild', but after knowing about your identity today, I finally understood what exactly she meant about with her words,"

"So, I strongly recommend that you will reconsider my suggestion to you, Guild Leader Loki. This is only for your own good, and most importantly, for your own safety," Lance finished his sentence with a slightly bow head.

Unbeknownst to Leo, that wasn't actually the only reason why Lance was doing this. 

First of all, the actual price of using 9-Star level materials to tailor a custom-made suit would cost more than the total price that Lance had just offered to Leo, even with a 50% discount. 

Just imagine, a Galaxy-level Magical Beast, which is only a single level higher compared to a 9-Star Magical Beast, could already be exchanged for five Elven Flyingboats. Even though these two levels couldn't be compared with each other that easily because the difference between the two is like comparing a hill and a mountain, it still doesn't change the fact that the both of them would cost more than merely hundreds of thousands of gold coins, even when they are dead. In fact, it might even be possible to trade a 9-Star Magical Beast, either dead or alive, for a single Emerald Elven Flyingboat. 

Although the 9-Star level materials that Lance had mentioned would only be needing a small piece of a 9-Star Magical Beast, while the rest would be other 9-Star level materials. The combination of all of them would still be very expensive.

As such, it is pretty much considered that the price Lance had offered to Leo is more than a bargain already since he had merely asked for 150,000 gold coins to tailor a suit made out of 9-Star level materials. Not to mention, he is also including the cost of the tens or so of pieces of custom-made suits and dresses for Cassandra and the others. 

The real reason why Lance is really doing this was because his parents were killed during the time the Naughty Elves organization had dethroned and killed King Elfin the Third in the past. His parents were one of those brave Mages who fought that battle and shed blood to defend the Emerald Tree Kingdom from the hands of their enemies. This explains his action of slightly bowing his head to Leo, as he really wanted revenge and to make the Naughty Elves organization pay for what they have done to him!

Lance is very much aware of the alliance that the Evergreen royal family had created to fight against the Naughty Elves organization, including the information that the Naughty Elves organization are planning to do something during the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, and that the alliance has a few new men that had just joined them that will be helping them in the inside of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition to fight against the enemy without the members of the enemy knowing about it. All of these informations he had gotten from Princess Tifa with a lot of difficulties, specifically by tailoring custom-made dresses for her free of charge and coaxing her for a very long time.

Since Leo and his Mischievous Lion Guild were probably those so-called new men that had just joined them, thus Lance decided to only give a price of 150,000 gold coins for all of the custom-made suits and dresses that they have ordered.. That 150,000 gold coins could be considered as merely their service charge to him.
