Ch. 3001..3010
Chapter 3001 Swindlers Surrender
“That’s just narrow-minded thinking. You couldn’t see the big picture!”
“Let me tell you! We are guarding a super-spiritual ley line that is no lesser than the one under the South Pole!” the man said indifferently.
“What?”
Smythe and the others were about to go insane when he heard that.
They never expected that the forces behind Zarain also depended on a super-spiritual ley line to survive.
At the same time, they also understood the reason for their terrifying power.
The explosion of the super-spiritual ley line under the South Pole was enough to transform the entire world to this state.
One could only imagine the number of resources that had appeared around the world and the number of Deities created.
However, the forces behind Zarain had another super-spiritual ley line that was no less than the one in the South Pole.
Hence, Levi’s resources truly meant nothing to them. It was not even a drop in the bucket.
They wouldn’t be bothered at all, nor would they have such a cheap idea in their minds like Smythe’s.
There was no need for them to try to get the resources. It wasn’t worth their effort to help Levi.
No matter how many resources Levi had, they were just a fragment of the super-spiritual ley line under the South Pole.
The secret to Levi’s resources wasn’t much of a mystery to them at all.
That piece of information was simply too shocking for Smythe and Niel.
Before this, they had no concept of the forces behind Zarain and didn’t have any reference to gauge their strength.
All they knew was that they were powerful, especially when they were the ones who supported Zarain with all the advanced technology.
However, everything else was vague, and they had no accurate concept.
But now, the reference object they had was the super-spiritual ley line.
That was when they finally realized the magnitude of the forces behind Zarain.
It was extremely terrifying!
Their strength and power were evident in their ability to cure the poison.
Although it was just curing a poison, it showed its strength in multiple aspects.
When Shield had only analyzed a few components of the toxins, they could already completely cure it.
The difference between was indeed a huge gap.
“Levi, you must have never thought that your daughter’s poison could already be cured, right?” Smythe smiled and said.
Naturally, the thought never occurred to Levi who was in a state of desperation.
There was no hope, no matter how hard he tried.
Although the ice bed temporarily stopped Forlevia’s poison, there was no way to cure it.
Initially, he placed his hopes on the Ecclesiastic Order in Erudia.
Troy and the others searched day and night, but they couldn’t find a single clue to the cure.
He doubted its existence and thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He just couldn’t find them!
He anxiously asked Dr. Erebus to release the news and tell those who swindled his resources to surrender and return them quickly. Otherwise, he would kill everyone if he found out.
Soon, his announcement spread all over the world.
However, everyone laughed at Levi for making that threat after he suffered a loss at Terrandya.
Everyone took him as a fool!
Hydron received the news as well.
Their team was also getting stronger and stronger with the resources they swindled.
When they saw the announcement from Levi, they all burst out in laughter.
“Levi, not only did we swindle your resources, we also destroyed the blood alteration record! We will continue to stop you! Not just in the past, but in the future as well! And we will continue as long as you don’t seek Idrae out for revenge!
“Do you want us to surrender? Dream on! We will only trick you again and again!”
Hydron was extremely arrogant.
After several rounds of negotiation in Xyperia, they decided to send a messenger to Terrandya to discuss whether they could share the secret of Levi’s resources or they could at least get a piece of the pie.
Outside Tayhaven.
A terrifying aura engulfed the entire Tayhaven as Titan Lord arrived as a representative.
Chapter 3002 Unconvinced
“How strong! He must be the strongest among the deities! More than nine hundred of our Deities were never this powerful!” Godric III exclaimed.
Titan Lord wasn’t alone.
There were another eight Deities who came. All of them were terrifyingly powerful.
Even the Deities were classified by their danger rating!
Titan Lord belonged to the Deities who had utilized the spiritual energy in their bodies to the extreme.
Finally, Godric III welcomed Titan Lord and the others.
Titan Lord observed him and said with a smile. “Godric III, I see you’re still keeping a low profile. You didn’t even bring a Deity with you!”
“That’s right! There’s not even a single deity in the entire Tayhaven! Where are the thousands of Deities of Terrandya?”
“Not just that, there’s not even a prospect or any person close to even becoming a Deity!”
After their observation, Titan Lord and the others said astonishingly.
They looked at each other, and the first thought that came to mind was that all of the Deities of Terrandya must have gone out on a mission, and the mission seemed to have something to do with the secret of Levi’s resources.
“Well, they’re not around for the time being.”
Godric III broke out in cold sweat.
If they found out about it, they might devour Terrandya. Hence, he didn’t dare to tell them.
Everyone else was trembling in fear.
After all, Xyperia sent someone over just after all their deities were wiped out.
Naturally, they would be anxious.
However, to Titan Lord, their anxious behavior seemed like they feared that they would question them about the secret to Levi’s resources.
If their roles were reversed, they would be nervous as well.
Titan Lord smiled and said, “We’re here just for one thing. We want to ask about the secret to Levi’s resources, and how the resources will be utilized in the future!”
“Yes. I believe Terrandya wouldn’t be able to handle Levi’s resources alone, right? We would like to offer some help!”
The Xyperian messenger spoke pretentiously.
They were just here to get a piece of the pie.
To put it simply, they just wanted the secret to Levi’s resources.
However, they were hypocrites, and they didn’t dare to express their true motives.
“Well…”
Godric III had already expected it. It was indeed a nerve-wracking topic to talk about.
“Sire, do you plan to take it all for yourself and not willing to share?” Titan Lord smiled and said.
At this moment, Godric III and the high-rank officials of Terrandya went into a state of hysteria.
They couldn’t reject them directly, fearing that Xyperia might get angry and start a war.
But they couldn’t cooperate with them either. They didn’t know anything about the secret to the resources.
Wait, that was not it!
They do know about the secret to Levi’s resources.
Levi once told them that his resources came from Rank One and Rank Two restricted areas.
But that only worked for Levi.
Only he could obtain that many resources from the Rank One restricted area.
Nobody else could.
Even if they told the other party the secret, none of them would believe it.
The Xyperians would only take them as fools.
“Are you trying to hide it from us?” Titan Lord asked.
“We saw ten of his aircraft that transported the resources here! And if he didn’t tell you about the secret to his resources, would you even let him go?” Titan Lord pressed on.
Godric III smiled and said, “We never received any of Levi’s resources. As for the secret to his resources, he got them from the Rank One restricted area.
Godric III gave them a tentative answer. However, none of them believed him.
Titan Lord sneered and said, “That’s a bit insulting. You didn’t receive any of his resources? Bullsh*t!”
“Yeah! Although there are a lot of resources in the Rank One restricted area, there are also many beasts. How could he even reach the resources?”
“How could Levi even explore the Rank One restricted area alone?”
“Do you think we’re fools? I think you just don’t want to tell us! You want to have it all for yourselves! But will we let it slide?” Titan Lord suddenly raised his tone, and the atmosphere became cold.
Chapter 3003 Miracle Doctor
Suddenly, Godric III got angry. “Yeah! So what?
“They say that Xyperia is the strongest in the world, but Terrandya is not afraid!
“Come and rob us! Let’s go to war! We’re not afraid!”
“That’s right! Let’s go to war! We’re not afraid!” The others got a grasp of the situation and chimed in angrily. If they continued to be obedient and timid, they would be oppressed by Titan Lord.
Then, everything would be exposed.
Hence, Terrandya had to be tough to hold them back.
It was also more suited to Terrandya’s aggressive nature.
As expected, Tian Lord and the others were bewildered, and they looked at them suspiciously.
The way they responded to Titan Lord seemed like they were ready to fight.
“In this case, we’ll leave!”
Based on their attitude, it wouldn’t be wise for Titan Lord and the others to press on the matter.
Otherwise, they might have to actually go to war.
When the Xyperians got back to their country, Titan Lord reported their observations to the high-rank officers.
“There’s something wrong with Terrandya! The atmosphere in the entire Tayhaven was lifeless and desolate as if it had gone through mass annihilation! All their Deities and Deity prospects were also absent. It’s so weird!
“But they were persistent! They refused to disclose the secret to the resources no matter what, let alone share them. If we force them too much, we might have to go to war!”
“Then send a large number of people to keep an eye on Terrandya! Have our people observe their every move!”
“Now that they knew the secret to Levi’s resources, they will definitely do something! As long as we keep an eye on them, we will eventually know where the resources came from!” one of the high-rank officials exclaimed.
Everyone applauded and praised, “What a wise move!”
Hence, they didn’t think of any other ideas besides keeping an eye on Terrandya.
Nobody was willing to accept the bounty after assuming that Terrandya had taken all of Levi’s resources.
Levi was deep in thoughts while he stared at the pile of spiritual energy crystals and magical herbs before him.
Who said Terrandya took all my resources? I obviously accumulated even more of them!
However, no one would believe Levi’s words anymore.
Levi was stumped.
He tried every possible method, but none of them worked.
How exactly do I cure Evie?
Suddenly, Troy sent a message from Erudia.
At first, Levi thought that they had found the Ecclesiastic Order. But that wasn’t the case.
Instead, Troy found a Miracle Doctor in Erudia.
However, the Miracle Doctor had always been lying low. He was just an ordinary merchant in the mundane world.
But Miracle Doctor’s identity was exposed when he finally couldn’t resist picking medicinal herbs at the Rank One restricted area after the spiritual energy revival.
His healing skills had reached the level of reviving the dead, and he became famous instantly!
He could also enhance a person’s physique and allow the human body to absorb spiritual energy with the highest efficiency.
He could even create a Deity if he had the spiritual energy crystals.
In fact, he had already created two Deities.
Many people in Erudia knew about this.
The Cardinal Hall had repeatedly tried to cover it up, but their attempts were futile.
It was only a matter of time before the Miracle Doctor became famous all over the world.
His way of creating a Deity might be more effective and simpler than that of Idrae and the others
Words could no longer describe his medical prowess.
In fact, the Miracle Doctor had already been discovered long ago, but some people deliberately covered up the news.
Troy and the others had never heard of him until now.
After receiving Troy’s message, he also received a message from the Divine Brigadier.
He confirmed the news as well. The Cardinal Hall had also begun to cover up the information.
The appearance of Miracle Doctor in Erudia didn’t surprise Levi at all. Instead, he was thrilled.
That means Evie’s poison can be cured!
“Let’s go back to Erudia right now!” Levi shouted.
Chapter 3004 The Amazing Chad
The spiritual energy revival brought out various hidden properties and abilities in people which was a common phenomenon.
After all, it was easy for powers derived from spiritual energy to manifest in an environment with such strong vibes.
During this time, many people hid within the city.
They seemed to know about the force and the super-spiritual ley line beforehand.
It was said that not everyone in Erudia had sought refuge during the spiritual energy storm.
Most of them had relocated at the very last minute to Shelter after the great move, while others stubbornly refused to move there.
Somehow, those who had remained survived.
There must be something strange about these people.
Some of them knew about the spiritual energy storm in advance, while others were simply fearless of its effects.
Chad and his family were among those who had stayed. It also showed the Miracle doctor’s confidence to survive the claustrophobic event unscathed.
The Holdens did not experience the radiation nor baptism from the storm which was highly suspicious.
There were many extraordinary recluses all over the mortal world. A handful of them with supernatural abilities grew tired of the constant strife and decided to live a normal life.
They would not reveal their true identities unless they had no choice. Or they had exposed themselves by accident like Chad.
The doctor led a mundane life in Chillshire selling tea and its medicinal effects had earned him a good name in the neighborhood.
Still, he probably stopped people from spreading the word. Otherwise, its fame would have attracted the attention of powerful forces.
Meanwhile, Zoey and her team arrived in Chillshire after they heard a miraculous healer’s existence in the area.
As Levi searched desperately all over the world for a way to neutralize the poison in Forlevia, Zoey also did not remain idle as she went into a mad frenzy to locate Chad who was still at his shop.
After he had unwittingly revealed his superb healing prowess and secret identity, the news spread like wildfire. Many people from all walks of life came to see him every day.
In view of his safety, the Cardinal Hall even sent guards to protect him.
They valued his ability to create Deities and saw him as their hope for Erudia’s future.
Since his true persona was made public, Chad treated anyone who came to him.
By now, he had come across numerous kinds of ailments and there was none he could not cure.
His healing skills were much more incredible than people thought.
Zoey joined the long queue outside his shop and waited for over two hours before it was her turn.
“Who is the next patient?” Chad asked without looking up.
He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary demeanor and appearance; one would hardly notice him in a crowd.
“I’m queuing for my daughter, but she is not here yet… I-It’s…” Zoey panicked in her rush to explain Forlevia’s condition.
“Since the patient is not here, step aside! You can wait over there. Come back when your daughter arrives!” Chad replied coldly.
Zoey had no choice but to obey him and wait at the side for Levi and the others to arrive as informed by Troy.
Awe gradually replaced the amazement she felt while she observed the doctor at work. Although Chad seemed callous, he was immensely patient when treating the sick.
He could heal all kinds of complicated ailments using techniques that were out of this world.
Someone brought him a child who had wandered into the restricted area and consumed a poisonous plant by mistake.
The spiritual energy revival had produced not just magical herbs but also highly toxic plants.
Previously, Levi also found many magical yet poisonous plants when he explored the restricted areas.
There was no cure for the poison plant the child had ingested.
However, Chad had the remedy to purge the toxin from his young patient.
Zoey and others grew hopeful as they watched him.
Since he cured such severe poisoning, it meant he could heal Forlevia too.
Chapter 3005 I Will Not Treat Your Daughter
Chad did not use any medicine but solely relied on a silver needle to clear the contaminant in the boy’s body.
The crowd could not help but exclaim at the astounding sight.
“Dr. Chad, can you heal poisoning more severe than this?” someone asked.
“Yes, I have a magical medicine that removes all poison! It is recorded in the Poison Handbook.”
“Wow… A magical medicine that removes all poisons. Is there such a thing?” The others gasped in disbelief.
They kept hearing rumors about an antidote for all known poisons. It became the talk of the town especially after Forlevia’s incident.
Regardless, people still found it a little hard to believe.
Chad treated a patient while he explained, “Have you forgotten about the mysterious man and the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus from two days ago?”
“Yes! If such a formidable thing truly exists, we won’t have to die from the toxins!”
“I can’t even imagine what a Ten Millenium Snow Lotus could do!” another person added.
Echoes of oohs and aahs sprang from the crowd.
Then Chad smiled and said, “The magical medicine in my possession is double the potency of a Ten Millenium Snow Lotus! It can easily eradicate almost any poison, even if it’s–”
The doctor suddenly stopped mid-sentence and seemed to recall something.
He had a strange expression as he sighed inwardly.
However, the crowd did not notice the change in his behavior.
They were still shocked to find out Chad owned a magical medicine.
Ever since Levi fell for a scam, everyone thought the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus did not exist.
It turned out to be real!
They would not believe it if someone else had told them.
Their respect for the Miracle doctor grew.
Meanwhile, Zoey was so excited that her heart threatened to jump out of her chest.
Dr. Chad not only has incredible healing skills, but he owns a magical medicine comparable to the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus. He could purge any poison in this world, even one as serious as Evie’s! Based on my observation, he can heal using only his healing skills alone. He won’t need any magical medicine!
Zoey was not the only one excited; her companions shared her sentiments too.
That’s wonderful! There is finally a cure for Evie.
Troy and the others expected the magical medicine would cost a hefty sum. However, they knew Levi could afford to pay.
The latter would do anything within his means for his daughter’s treatment by the doctor.
Chad looked at the excited crowd and chuckled. “Don’t even think about getting the magical medicine! I am saving it for myself in times of need! It is too precious to sell! No one knows where it is despite records in the second volume of the Poison Handbook. I don’t think any of you would recognize it even if you see it…”
“Of course! We will never need to use that magical medicine as long as we have your healing skills!” someone said.
“Yes, who needs the Poison Handbook?” another person added.
Everyone laughed.
After some time, Chad demonstrated more of his amazing healing skills, prompting the crowd to gasp in awe.
Even Zoey and the others believed him impeccably now.
After waiting for another moment, Levi and the others finally arrived.
Zoey nearly cried upon seeing her husband. “What took you so long? Quickly! We have waited for a long time!”
Levi hurriedly carried Forlevia from the ice bed and ran after his wife.
Zoey went straight to Chad and said, “Dr. Chad, I was in the queue just now. My daughter is finally here! You said you would take a look at her once she arrived!”
“What’s wrong with your daughter?”
Levi took Forlevia to the doctor. “My daughter was poisoned by Final Malice, a combination of over eighty strongest poisons! Please, heal her. I will do anything!”
“Levi Garrison? I’m sorry. I can’t treat your daughter!”
Chapter 3006 I Will Never Treat Your Daughter
Chad slowly raised his head and glanced at the worried Levi.
The words that came out of his mouth had everyone stunned.
Levi’s and Zoey’s expressions froze.
They thought there was something wrong with their hearing.
The rest who stood were all stunned.
It was the first time that Chad had ever rejected someone.
They had been there for a few days and never heard Chad turned down any patient.
Chad had never said “no” to a patient.
He would try his best to treat every patient that asked for his help and never rejected anyone in need.
Yet, when he told Levi no, everyone at the scene couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
They couldn’t understand why he refused to treat Forlevia.
It was illogical and didn’t make any sense.
Levi was utterly confused.
Why wouldn’t he treat my daughter? Why? He rejected my request right after just one look at my face as though it was pre-planned.
Feeling puzzled, Levi took a good look at Chad’s face and tried to recall if the doctor had ever appeared in his life before.
Yet, no matter how hard he wrecked his brain Chad’s name and face still came up blank in his mind.
Levi was sure it was his first time meeting the doctor, and they had never met before. So there couldn’t have been a grudge between them if they had never seen each other before.
So why won’t he treat Forlevia?
Zoey and the rest were baffled.
They had spent the entire day waiting for Levi just for Chad to refuse to treat Forlevia in the end. The same question was running through their minds.
Chad turned to Zoey and said, “If I had known you were Levi’s wife, I wouldn’t have asked you to get in line. Go back, all of you! I won’t treat your daughter!”
Chad’s firm refusal struck Zoey and she wanted to ask for the reason when Chad cut her off.
“Don’t ask for my reason. I just don’t want to treat your daughter. Your daughter getting poisoned has nothing to do with me. That’s it!”
Levi and the rest were even more shocked at his answer because Chad had been kind and friendly all the while.
He had never been so adamant and scary.
Zoey’s words were stuck in her throat. The despair was eating her up, causing her entire body to tremble that she couldn’t get even a word out.
Levi asked, “Dr. Holden, have we met before?”
“No.” Chad shook his head.
“If we never met before that means we don’t know each other and therefore have no grudge between us, am I right?” Levi persisted.
“Yes, there’s no grudge between us.” Chad nodded, agreeing with Levi’s deduction.
Levi pressed his lips into a line. “Then, I supposed I don’t have any grudge with your friends or family. I’ve never done them any harm, right?”
Levi speculated that he might have harmed the doctor’s friends or family.
After all, he had killed too many people to count.
Chad replied coldly, “No! As I said before, there’s no grudge between us nor with my family or friends. Stop trying to figure out my reason! We don’t have any connection!”
“Then, why won’t you treat my daughter? I’ll agree to whatever you want. Whatever request you have, I’ll do it. Just say the word, and I’ll do it immediately,” Levi offered.
“It has nothing to do with that! Stop asking me! I won’t treat your daughter no matter what. Please look for another doctor,” Chad refused adamantly.
Despite his firm words, his eyes couldn’t help but peek at Forlevia.
“Huh?”
Levi and the rest were more confused now.
Why wouldn’t he treat Forlevia? He has no viable reason. It’s very confusing.
“As I said, stop asking or thinking about it! I won’t treat your daughter! My answer stays the same no matter what you say. I stand firm in my decision even if you kill me.”
Chapter 3007 Annoy Levi
Chad’s tone was resolute.
No one would have thought that Chad would refuse so firmly that he didn’t leave any space for negotiation.
He wouldn’t treat Forlevia as long as she was Levi’s daughter.
His refusal was merciless.
He repeatedly said he wouldn’t treat Forlevia no matter what Levi offered. Besides, he didn’t care if Levi threatened or killed him. He just wouldn’t budge.
Everyone could see there was something seriously wrong going on.
He had no qualms treating anybody elses’ condition, but there was a problem when it came to Forlevia.
Levi knew the doctor’s refusal was because of him.
Someone doesn’t want my daughter treated. Chad seems to be troubled by something. I bet there’s a mastermind pulling the strings from the back. There must be some kind of leverage that was held over the doctor’s head, forcing him not to save Forlevia. I’m sure of it!
Everything was planned! The mastermind knew once Chad revealed himself, I would be on his doorsteps to request him to treat Forlevia. So the mastermind must have plotted earlier to stop Chad from giving her treatment.
Levi stared at Chad with mixed feelings.
He didn’t expect things to turn out in such a way.
At the same time, Zoey and the rest began to panic.
How could they miss the chance when they finally found a doctor who could save Forlevia?
They dropped to their knees and pleaded with Chad to treat Forlevia.
“I won’t agree even if you’re on your knees. I have told you that I wouldn’t treat her. Now get out of my sight!” Chad shouted.
Levi offered, “Tell me if you’re having any troubles, and I can help you with it. If there’s something you need to find, I can help you with that too. Money is not a problem. Just tell me how much you want.”
He deduced Chad was being threatened or blackmailed.
Levi didn’t care what his issue was as he would solve it if Chad told him.
However, Chad merely glared at Levi. “I’m sorry to say I don’t have any troubles, nor do I want any of your help. I don’t want to treat anyone related to you, so just leave already! I’ve said many times that I won’t treat your daughter no matter what. Next, please!”
Chad continued to consult the next patient and ignored Levi’s presence.
Levi and the rest simply stood there silently, unwilling to leave.
Chad lifted his head and taunted, “I’m confident about treating your daughter, but I won’t!”
It was maddening!
He didn’t want to treat Forlevia and even rubbed it in Levi’s face admitting that he could.
No one had any doubt that Chad could cure Forlevia’s poison.
From his reaction, he was firm in not treating Forlevia. He even rubbed it in my face with the fact that he could do just that. Thus, I’m sure somebody is behind this and the person doesn’t want Forlevia cured. But who can it be? Idrae? Or maybe it’s the mysterious organization that destroyed the blood alteration record?
I don’t think any foreigners know about Chad arriving in Erudia. So can it be someone from Erudia that’s targeting me since I have moral blackmailed many people?
There’s also a possibility that the news has spread. Idrae has an extensive network, so it’ll be the first to know news like this. Yet isn’t it way too fast? Chad had just revealed himself, then someone had already plotted the next few steps.
Great! This is great! I won’t give up on Chad because I’m ninety percent sure he can treat Forlevia.
Despite his deadpan expression, rage had exploded within Levi.
As long as there was hope, he vowed to find a cure for Forlevia.
That hope he was searching for was standing right in front of him, but the doctor was insistent on not saving Forlevia.
Why else can I do?
Helplessness and despair loomed over him.
What should I do? I can’t actually force Chad to treat her.
Zoey suddenly recalled something and asked, “Dr. Holden, we understand that you refuse to treat Forlevia, and that’s fine. However, I hope you can sell us the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus. We’ll agree to any request you have.”
Chapter 3008 Over My Dead Body
“This doesn’t change your principle, does it? No one asked you for a cure. We just wanted the magical medicine, regardless of the cost. Say it and we will pay accordingly,” said Zoey.
Hearing so, Levi came to his senses immediately.
There’s a magical medicine as good as the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus? This brings us great hope!
Instantly, he asked, “What magical medicine? Can you sell it to me, Dr. Holden? I’m willing to do anything for you in exchange for it.”
Levi was more than qualified to give such a huge promise.
Based on his current prowess and abilities, there was nothing he could not do except hand-picking up a star from the sky.
“That’s right! Dr. Holden, please sell the magical medicine to us. We’re sure it doesn’t go against your principle…” the rest chimed in.
Chad was stunned as he did not expect to hear Zoey’s words.
However, he had made up his mind. “That’s impossible! I’ve been hiding the magical medicine for several decades. It’s meant for my own use. I’ll never bring it out to show anyone, let alone sell it to Levi.”
Suddenly, Chad seemed to recall something and added, “I won’t sell the magical medicine to anyone. Nobody knows where it is. I’m warning you guys not to have designs on it!”
He was extremely resolute, especially when he heard Levi’s name being spoken.
“I beg you, Dr. Holden. I really want to save my daughter. I’ve tried all means but to no avail. Please… You’re our last strand of hope!” Levi fretted.
“I will do anything you want me to, even if it means being your slave. Just name it, and I’ll do it for you. I can even give up my life to save my daughter. She’s just a little child. I can’t bear to see anything untoward happen to her…”
Zoey and Dr. Erebus were shocked to the core.
It was their first time seeing Levi begging for help so earnestly.
That was definitely a rare moment.
It also went to show that Levi was at a loss for solutions.
“Tell me if you’re facing any difficulties. I swear to help you resolve them. I know you have your reasons, but… Please tell me so that I can…”
“Get lost!” Chad bellowed in rage before Levi could finish his sentence.
“Get lost, Levi! I won’t cure your daughter, and neither will I help you no matter what you do. So, stop asking and thinking about it! You have two choices; either kill me now or leave my sight right away. Whatever it is, I repeat, I won’t treat your daughter!”
Everyone gaped at Chad’s big reaction.
Why is he so enraged? He seems to have a bitter and deep-seated hatred for Levi. Otherwise, Chad wouldn’t be so heartless. This is truly unbelievable.
With that, Levi and the rest were left with no other way to persuade him further, so they had to leave.
Had they persisted, Chad might get more worked up and even harm himself.
Levi was starting to wrap his mind around the situation.
Chad’s stance is unwavering. He’s determined not to cure Evie, regardless of what I do or offer. But why?
Levi was frustrated as he had no idea why Chad would not lend a hand to treat Forlevia.
With that unresolved question in mind, they chose to leave temporarily with the hope of discovering more clues soon.
If I had a chance to get Chad out of the quandary he’s in, I’m sure he would cure Forlevia of her poisoning.
With a heavy heart, Zoey was dragged away by Levi.
After Levi and his men left, Chad returned to his normal self and continued to treat other patients.
Nothing would affect him one bit as long as Levi did not appear in his sight.
Meanwhile, three individuals cackled as they watched on stealthily in the dark.
“Levi, oh Levi, dream on! Don’t even think about healing your daughter. It’s a mission impossible!”
“Hahaha… Give it up! He won’t get involved.”
Chapter 3009 Chad Wants To Save Her
“Levi, death awaits your daughter because no one else can treat her now.”
Malice flashed across the eyes of those three men, who seemingly held a deep grudge against Levi.
Just as Levi had speculated, there was a mastermind behind all these.
Someone doesn’t want Evie to live, whereas Chad is just a pawn in this orchestrated incident. Did someone get ahold of his weakness to the extent that he’s willing to die instead of curing Evie?
Levi could not figure out who wanted to harm Forlevia.
Besides Idrae and the blood alteration record, some other malefactors seemed to be in play too.
Anyhow, there was nothing Levi could do if Chad refused to change his mind.
As a follow-up plan, he instructed Troy to watch Chad closely and try to find out the people he came into contact with.
At this point, discovering the person who was controlling Chad’s actions was key to unlocking the whole mystery and saving Forlevia from a possible tragedy.
However, considering how adamant Chad was, Levi knew that the chances were slim.
Perhaps, the success rate of getting the cure through Chad is zero. I might need to think of an alternative. This is so disheartening!
This was an incredibly challenging feat for Levi. Despite having found the person who could cure Forlevia, the latter would not budge on his decision.
It was so mentally tormenting for Levi that he wished he could abduct Chad and coerce him into doing it.
Then again, he knew very well that a hasty and rash action from his side would lead to undesirable consequences.
Chad would choose to do the unthinkable. If that happens, we’ll lose everything. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Therefore, Levi did not take the risk.
After Levi and his men left, Chad’s eyes flitted in the direction where they were heading to.
An unfathomable emotion brewed in him as he struggled alone in a dilemma.
“Levi, I don’t have a choice. Though I can heal your daughter, I can’t. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do about it. As a doctor whose primary duty is to heal others, it pains me when I can only watch on as my patients suffer. But I can’t help you no matter what. You don’t know what I have to go through. There’s no point even if you do because it’s not something you can help resolve. You don’t have the power to do so.”
Anguish and dejection washed over Chad.
“By the way, Erebus, do investigate Chad’s magical medicine. Once you’ve found it, steal it.”
Besides arranging for his men to spy on Chad, Levi also commanded Dr. Erebus to find out more information on the magical medicine.
His intention was to steal it since they could not get Chad to sell it to them.
“Noted. I think this might work. It’s definitely more promising than waiting for him to perform treatment on Evie,” Dr. Erebus agreed.
In the subsequent days, he got himself very busy, searching for information in the restricted areas around the world.
Though he had learned much, nothing useful to Forlevia’s case was found.
Since no one explored the restricted area in Erudia, Levi thought of trying his luck.
Chad might have gotten such precious medicine from Erudia. After all, it’s a place blessed with rich resources. For all we know, it could have magical herbs too.
At that thought, he left Forlevia under the care of Zoey and ventured into Chillshire.
With Troy and so many fighters guarding this place, I’m sure nothing will happen. After all, I’m not going too far. If there’s danger, I’ll return in a flash.
On the mountains in Chillshire, Levi saw a Rank Two restricted area, followed by another Rank One restricted area.
He decided to try his luck with the first one.
After successfully entering the Rank Two restricted area, he realized that it was indeed a piece of treasured land.
All of the magical herbs and precious gems were of premium quality.
In fact, they were all better than what he had seen in other places.
Since ancient times, Erudia was well known for its rich resources, causing many to have their eyes on these valuable goods.
The spiritual energy revival contributed to even more abundant resources in Erudia.
As he explored the Rank Two restricted area, he heard a series of fighting sounds.
It was followed by someone escaping in his direction.
Chapter 3010 Becoming A Stronger Faction
Levi could not be bothered with what was coming as long as his mission was uninterrupted.
As such, he strode forward without changing his route.
A few minutes later, seven people staggered toward him.
In their midst, there were three young men, two young ladies, and two elders of both genders.
All of them were wounded and covered with blood, albeit to different extents.
Since the spiritual energy revival, it had been a norm to see factions battling each other to death.
Hundreds would die in the pursuit of a spiritual energy crystal.
Hence, it was not surprising to see people trespassing the restricted area for magical herbs.
Thankfully, there were no large-scale explorations being carried out in Erudia. After all, there were no Deities to protect the people against dangers.
Yet, many forces could not suppress their urge to traverse through the restricted area.
Hence, the number of murder cases and battles kept increasing.
This was especially evident among the hidden forces, who hid in the Shelter during the spiritual energy revival.
Now, they were drawn to the outside world because of the high concentration of spiritual energy.
At one glance, Levi could tell how powerful the two elders were. Their combat prowess was on par with those of the Deities.
Besides, the youngsters were not too bad themselves.
The group who trailed behind them was even more powerful.
Who said there’s no Deity in Erudia? Lo and behold, there are many hidden talents here.
After all, there were many techniques available in Erudia to guide people to make the most out of their spiritual energy.
It was something that no other country could achieve.
The Deities were exposed to more spiritual energy compared to others. However, it did not guarantee a high combat power.
Anyhow, this was the perspective of Levi, which was obviously different from the rest, who regarded the Deities as something phenomenal and god-like.
Seeing Levi walking in the middle, they started roaring angrily, “Get away! Don’t block us.”
“Darn it! Are you nuts? Get lost!”
“Hurry up and leave, or face death.”
To their disbelief, Levi seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what they said and continued walking ahead calmly.
As a consequence, the group of incoming fighters slowed down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meanwhile, a massive amount of energy shot up rapidly to the sky as someone appeared from Levi’s back to ambush the seven escaping souls.
“Do you think you can flee? I won’t let that happen!” A burst of eerie laughter ensued.
The attackers cast a glance at Levi and uttered, “Thank you for helping me to block them!”
Instantly, the seven fighters glared at Levi with strong murderous intent.
Clenching their fists, they hated Levi for being a stumbling block that prevented them from escaping.
It’s entirely his fault!
“B*stard! I told you to get lost! Are you deaf? Look what you’ve done！” one of the women, Brianna, yelled.
Another lady, Ophelia, stared daggers at Levi while going ballistic. “You’re the one to be blamed! D*mn you!”
One of the young men, Braxton, shouted in rage, “I really want to end his life. He’s the one who brought this upon us. Now, we’ll all have to die here.”
Meanwhile, the rest sighed in despair.
It was obvious to them that their journey was going to end soon.
Just as expected, more elites appeared and besieged them all, leaving no room for anyone to scurry away.
“Hand over the remaining twenty-eight pieces of spiritual energy crystals and thirteen stalks of magical herbs, and I’ll consider letting you go.”
The leader of Black Sky Union let out a sneer while his members burst out laughing.
Their gazes were drawn to the voluptuous figures of both Brianna and Ophelia.
“That’s right! Pass us what we want now. Kill the men and keep the women!”
A trace of greed flashed across their eyes.
“You…”
Hearing those words, Brianna and Ophelia flipped out.
After the spiritual energy revival, many small factions merged to form bigger coalitions in order to achieve a win-win situation and survive in this dog-eat-dog world.
Once a more powerful force was established, they started acquiring other weaker ones to have a higher chance of getting more magical herbs and spiritual energy crystals.
The number of people who had lost their lives in a cruel process as such was uncountable.
