_Lion King's Headquarters_
Arnold and his men had just arrived at Lion king's headquarters. They were welcomed by the Lion members.
"Welcome, Snake king."
The voice belonged to Lion King who greeted Arnold with a helping hand.
"It's great to be here, Lion King."
The Lion King only nodded happily. Then he invited Snake's troops to come in and sit on the sofa that had been provided. Food and drinks are also available on the table.
Without lingering for long, Snake immediately exposed his idea to attack Tiger and snatch Aila.
"Aila's been transferred to the hiding villa. And it'll make it easier for us to attack the mansion, without worrying about hurting Aila."
"I won't attack Tiger's mansion as long as my son and daughter are still in Tiger's hands."
The idea was rejected raw by Lion. He did not want to go to war or attack Tiger, because he thought that attacking would only make Tiger angry and end up killing Hubo and Aila.
"You don't have to worry about that. Tiger wouldn't hurt Aila in the least. I can guarantee that."
"You don't know Tiger, Arnold. He's a young boy filled with grudges over the deaths of his parents and younger brother. You know, I was the one who killed them. So, how can you possibly guarantee that Tiger will not hurt anything else kill Aila!" Lion explained firmly.
Arnold denied that. "Those who don't know Tiger, Lion. Tiger loved Aila so much, it was evident by how she hid Aila in her secret villa. The villa no one knows where it is other than Tiger and his henchmen."
"Whatever it is I will not attack the Tiger mansion. If you want to do that, please. But, don't ever involve me and if until my son and daughter are hurt by your assault later, I'll make sure Snake is out of my hands."
Arnold chuckled amusedly at the words coming out of the old man's mouth. "So you choose to keep quiet without trying to take your sons and daughters back? Really you are too naive or maybe because you are old you become weak and timid."
"Mr Arnold keep talking to you!" Shouted Ben while pointing his gun at Arnold's head. The baron also did the same, he placed his weapon right on Lion's head.
For a moment the atmosphere became rowdy. But, then Lion asks Ben to lower his weapon. Inevitably Ben also lowered his weapon which was also followed by Baron.
"There won't be any more bloodshed this time, Snake. If you want to attack Tiger, attack yourself do not involve Lion. I am old and weak. But, didn't you yourself come to ask for the help of this frail old man."
That sentence left Arnold tick dead. It is true that the only one who can help him to eliminate Tiger is only this old man. Snake did not have enough weapons and troops to attack Tiger. If desperate, it means digging your own grave.
"How about this way, Lion." The baron took over the conversation. "To prevent the bloodshed, we must lure Tiger and his knights out of the mansion. When they let their guard down, I will accompany young master Adrian to meet miss Aila. Before that, Mr. Lion should know, that miss Aila and young master Adrian have a special relationship. Miss Aila will come right away if young master Adrian picks her up."
Arnold and Lion looked at each other. Then they looked back at the baron.
"What about my son?"
"Your idea is good, Baron. But, how do you lure Tiger and his knights out of their lair without any bloodshed?" That's Arnold's voice.
"This time, leave everything to me, sir."
"Whatever it is as long as it can cause bloodshed, I won't agree."
"No, Lion. We can take Miss Aila and young master Hubo without any bloodshed."
"How is it? You said Miss Aila was put in a secret villa, while no one knew where it was" Chirped Ben was curious.
For a moment Baron caught his breath. " No need to worry about that, man. Someone has betrayed Tiger and he will show you the way to the secret villa."
"You sure it wasn't a trap?"
"Of course you're sure, man. The eyes I placed in the Tiger mansion are trustworthy."
"Then how did you get Tiger and his strongest knight out of the mansion. Because if they stay at the mansion, I think your plan to come to the villa to pick up Miss Aila will be in vain, man."
"Tiger had a woman he thought was like his own sister. Her name is Lyn. Tiger loved Lyn. If Lion wants to help kidnap the woman, and hold her back, Tiger and his knight Seon will save Lyn without a care."
"You sure about that?"
"Very sure, Lion. Did you forget that when your knight withheld his knight, Tiger immediately came without any attack at all. He only took his knights and only caused minor injuries to some of the Lion troops. So you don't have to worry about bloodshed."
Lion King and Ben nodded in agreement with what Baron had said just now.
"One more time, Snake's son will kidnap Kinan and Pin. Two reliable hackers Tiger. That way, the other knights would run to save his hackers. That's when we can enter the mansion freely. Most only need to fight jotos and give a little injury to the guards of the mansion. I guarantee there won't be any bloodshed."
"Your father is very good, but how to kidnap the three people you mentioned earlier. They're very intelligent Tiger people and they're not easy to trick." Ben asked, who was starting to wonder.
"Use civilians."
"No. Don't bother civilians let alone turn them into bait. Don't risk the lives of people who aren't guilty." Lion refused firmly.
"Just make them bait, without hurting them, Lion. Tiger would never attack civilians. That's why I planned this. It's profitable to carry out our mission." The baron chuckled with his plan.
Lion seemed to think. "alright. Continue this mission, but if there's any bloodshed, I won't hesitate to kill anyone who starts the bloodshed."
"Good Lion king. Your terms we accept."
The baron bowed his respect to Lion king. Arnold laughed in his heart. Lion will not be able to dwell if I make Aila shield to become the ruler of the mafia world. I think Lion would trade anything for his daughter, even if I wanted Tiger's head.
