Ch. 3021..3030
Chapter 3021 The Ice Bed Is Destroyed
The phantom-like figure approached the ice bed where Forlevia lay.
Having spent the night exploring, Levi returned the next day.
The first thing he did was check on his daughter. However, he saw that her ice bed in pieces when he arrived at her quarters.
Even though it didn’t melt, it was still in pieces from being smashed by someone.
Forlevia was lying on the ground no longer frozen in ice.
Final Malice began acting up again. The relapse this time was more severe than it ever was.
In fact, the girl was showing signs of aging.
Despite just being a child, her hair had turned gray as her entire being lost its luster.
Filled with anxiety, Levi picked her up and began suppressing the poison by force.
Even with his abilities, it took him a long time before he could finally keep it under control.
He was cognizant that the subsequent relapses would grow increasingly severe, which also meant that it would be harder for him to suppress it, especially without the ice bed.
Now that they could not freeze the poison, his daughter would be prone to frequent relapses.
If they didn’t treat her soon, Forlevia’s life would truly be at risk.
“Chad!” Levi clenched his fists.
Despite being able to cure Evie, he just refuses to do so.
Filled with desperation, Levi felt the urge to kidnap him.
Also, who f*cking destroyed the ice bed?
“Are you trying to harm me and prevent my daughter from recovering on purpose? If you have the guts, show yourself instead of hiding in the shadows! Don’t let me find you. I’ll tear you apart if it’s the last thing I do! Just you wait, I swear to exact revenge for what happened today!”
Levi speculated the culprit who had destroyed the bed was in league with the group controlling Chad.
Whoever destroyed the bed must be really skillful. They managed to infiltrate the place and smash it without anyone noticing. If I hadn’t come over, I’m afraid no one would have noticed the bed was smashed.
When Levi told everyone about the ice bed, all of them were stunned.
They had eighty men in total. After Troy led fifty of them on a mission, there were thirty left to guard the place.
Despite all thirty of them being elite fighters, someone still managed to sneak in and destroyed the ice bed.
Given how structurally strong the ice bed was, smashing it would cause a huge commotion.
The perpetrator had to be exceptionally skillful to do that without raising the alarm.
“Can it be that Erudia has someone this powerful hiding within it still? Based on the two incidents, there’s no way it’s the work of someone from outside Erudia.”
“Master Garrison, who did you offend in our country?” the crowd asked.
Their questions reminded Levi to think of who in Erudia wielded such terrifying power.
The Ecclesiastic Order?
He figured that only a warrior from the Ecclesiastic Order would not see his men as a threat.
After all, there weren’t many such figures in Erudia.
Given that there was nothing mysterious about the incident. He was certain it had to be someone who bore a massive grudge against him.
The Ecclesiastic Order? How can it be? Aren’t they just legends?
No matter how he thought about it, he just couldn’t connect the matter to them.
Who else can it be? Someone close to me? But the Divine Brigadier and the others don’t have such power.
Levi failed to come up with any suspects; neither could his men.
I have plenty of enemies, but none of them is this formidable.
“I can’t just leave the matter like that!”
Consequently, Levi brought Forlevia to see Chad.
When he arrived, he questioned, “Chad, tell me who is the person controlling you? Or else, I’m going to kill you! You can choose not to save my daughter, but you may not harm her!”
Damn it! Since you won’t cure Evie, there’s no need for me to be cordial. If you anger me, I’ll just kill you!
Chapter 3022 Idrae Has The Antidote
Levi barging in suddenly had interrupted Chad’s routine.
“Crown King, what are you doing?”
“Can’t you see Dr. Holden is at work?”
Malcom and Maxwell admonished him given that they were Deities.
As for everyone else, they were equally upset.
Despite their respect for Levi, they were still capable of anger at such a crucial time.
Chad raised his head and asked, “What happened?”
“The person behind you has destroyed Evie’s ice bed, causing her poison to act up.”
Having heard the news, Chad looked at Forlevia and sympathized with her for a fleeting moment.
However, he quickly regained his composure and sneered at Levi, “What has that got to do with me? It’s not like I was the one who did it. Furthermore, why are you even here? I don’t even know how to cure your daughter!”
Chad was filled with the urge to cure Forlevia of her poisoning, for just by looking at her, he could tell how serious her condition had become.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t because he was adamant about not getting involved in Levi’s matters.
Levi replied coldly, “I know that the group who controls you is the same as the one who destroyed the ice bed. Just tell me who the mastermind is, or I will kill you!”
Boom!
Suddenly, Levi exuded a murderous energy that enveloped the entire room.
“Levi, what are you doing? Are you actually going to kill Dr. Holden?”
Malcom and Maxwell blocked Levi’s way.
“Crown King, you definitely can’t do this!”
The Dragonites’ four leaders rushed forward to restrain Levi.
Given that Chad was extremely important to Erudia, there was no way they could allow Levi to kill him.
“Fine. Sooner or later, I’ll get to them. Just you wait! Also, I’ll cure my daughter’s poisoning myself. Who needs you anyway?” Levi snapped before storming off.
Throughout the exchange, the doctor didn’t look up nor show any emotion.
Even though he appeared to ignore Levi, Chad murmured under his breath, “I hope you’ll never encounter them. Otherwise, your circumstances will be even worse.”
As of then, the situation was so difficult that Levi wanted to break down.
Not only did he fail to find a cure for Forlevia, but there was also someone desperately trying to stop her from recovering.
Why hasn’t the Ecclesiastic Order appeared? Where is the second half of the Poison Handbook?
Meanwhile, Dr. Erebus sighed the moment he arrived and heard what happened.
He was equally infuriated over the destruction of Forlevia’s ice bed.
“Mr. Garrison, we have arrived at a crucial time. Desperate times call for desperate measures. All this while, there are many occult methods to treat her, but we have always refrained from doing so due to the significant risk of side effects involved. For example, she might become utterly mad or fall into demonic ways.
“That was the reason why we rejected suggestions to attack the poison with a different poison when we offered the reward earlier. But with Evie’s condition, I suggest that we take this route. Regardless of the implications down the road, our priority is to remove the poison first!”
When Dr. Erebus made the proposal as a last resort, Levi fell silent.
All this while, he was the one who rejected the use of occult methods, for he wanted to cure Forlevia the normal way so she didn’t need to suffer their side effects.
But now, he was left with no other choice.
“Let me think about it first.”
Levi was confused and wasn’t willing to make a decision just yet.
Soon, something unexpected happened.
The Idrae had gotten in touch with Levi and informed him they had the antidote.
It became a matter of whether Levi believed them.
If he did, he would have to meet them for the exchange.
Chapter 3023 For His Daughter
“Lies, absolute lies! If they had the antidote, they wouldn’t have waited till now to tell us. It’s a miracle that they could even formulate the poison. Therefore, it’s impossible for them to be in the possession of the antidote!” Dr. Erebus protested.
Digital God added, “On top of that, there’s no way they can formulate the antidote in such a short time.”
Both of them were certain that this was Idrae’s plot to get the better of Levi, just like how the mysterious power had cheated them of significant resources previously.
The Idrae always harbored the intention of tricking Levi and had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to do so.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Hydron deceived Levi before its rival could do so.
Consequently, Idrae could only wait until Levi became desperate before making their move.
By then, the man would have no choice whether to believe them.
In his despair, he would be resigned to grasping at straws.
Without any doubt, Levi had finally arrived at that stage, for the ice bed was now destroyed and Forlevia’s poison was acting up.
Idrae was just trying their luck by showing up now.
It didn’t really matter whether Levi believed them since they had nothing to lose.
In fact, they would have a lot to gain if they managed to swindle him.
Dr. Erebus and Digital God looked in Levi’s direction. “Mr. Garrison, it is a ploy. I can bet my life on it. All they’re trying to do is to trick you into giving them resources.”
Everyone else agreed. “That’s right, they must be faking it. Idrae is obviously trying to cheat you. It would be great for them if they succeeded. If not, they have nothing to lose too. Ignore them. This isn’t something worth exploring.”
Everyone stared at Levi and waited for him to express his thoughts.
Finally, he let out a sigh. “What more can I do? Evie has tried everything, but nothing worked. I’m well aware that Idrae is trying to con me. But what if they really have the antidote? Even if it can only ease the symptoms, I’m more than happy to accept it. I must take the chance as long as there’s a sliver of hope. After all, those resources mean nothing to me especially since I have an unlimited supply. Evie’s health is what truly matters!”
Upon hearing Levi’s reply, everyone heaved a long sigh.
After all, no one would choose to believe in something with such a low probability of success if they had a choice.
Levi looked at Dr. Erebus. “Erebus, contact Idrae and tell them I believe them. Also, invite them to Erudia for negotiations.”
Dr. Erebus let out a long sigh before he agreed because trusting Idrae was considered an utter insult to them.
They knew Levi hated Idrae more than them and he had made the decision out of desperation.
When Dr. Erebus saw how Levi was forced into submission by his own circumstances, he felt indignant on the latter’s behalf.
“All right then. I’ll get in touch with them.”
With that, Dr. Erebus did as he was instructed.
“I—” Meanwhile, the infuriated Digital God clenched his fists in rage.
Glancing at Levi, he had a lot to say but swallowed his words instead.
They understood he was making the right choice as a father, even if Idrae was lying all along.
At the very least, he would have no regrets knowing he had done his best for his daughter.
Compared to curing Forlevia’s poisoning, being deceived was a small risk to take.
Chapter 3024 Stop Levi From Being Conned
Meanwhile, at Idrae’s base in Xyperia, their nine leaders stood in a row and waited for Levi’s answer.
Oedipus sneered, “If Levi agrees, it will mean that we have successfully tricked him. To be honest, he knows we are taking advantage of him. It’s just that he has no choice but to take the risk.”
“Do you think he will agree even if he’s well aware of our deception?” Orpheus asked while looking at the rest.
“I suppose we have a fifty-fifty chance.”
At that moment, one of their subordinates hurried over to report, “Sirs, I have shocking news. Levi has agreed to deal with us. However, we must go to Erudia for negotiation. He must be worried we’ll ambush him in Xyperia!”
Oedipus sprang to his feet. “All that matters is his agreement. Regardless of where the negotiations are held, he will end up being swindled.”
Sweeping his gaze at the other eight men, he asked, “Who wants to go and cheat Levi?”
All eight leaders raised their hands to express their interest.
Evidently, all of them were eager to do so, as it was a glorious achievement to be able to con Levi successfully.
“No! Only three will lead a team there. Jarvis, Jerome, Jeriah, you will go while the rest stay back,” Oedipus ordered.
“Understood!”
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
“Remember, this is a clandestine deal between us and Levi. Xyperia knows nothing about it. Therefore, we can only travel there without Deities. Also, Hydron is watching us. If they find out about our trip, they’ll definitely plan to assassinate us!” Oedipus speculated.
The three leaders led a team of over ten elite warriors and headed for Erudia.
To show their allegiance to Xyperia, Idrae had never used the resources they obtained to build Deities for themselves.
They relied entirely on Xyperia’s Deities for protection.
Nevertheless, it didn’t escape them that Xyperia’s Deities were both there to protect and monitor them at the same time.
That was the real reason they didn’t dare to have Deities of their own.
Soon, the three leaders and their entourage arrived at one of Erudia’s restricted areas without anyone’s knowledge.
Having reached the meeting place ahead of time, they rehearsed their plot to fool Levi.
They could already imagine how he would fall for their trick.
Despite knowing that it was a setup, Levi had no choice but to play along and give in to all their requests.
If they told him the antidote was in Xyperia and that small piece of information cost ten tons of spiritual energy crystal, Levi would have no other choice but to comply.
After all, he was betting on a sliver of hope. Regardless of its veracity, he had to try.
Meanwhile, Levi and his men met an obstruction on their way to the venue.
Maxwell and Malcom had led a group of youths from the Cardinal Hall to stop him.
Someone who knew that Levi was going to make an exchange with Idrae had leaked the news about the meeting.
“Levi, what’s wrong with you? They’re obviously lying!”
“Idrae are the ones responsible for poisoning Forlevia. How can you hope they will give you the antidote? It’s just not possible! Don’t fall for their scheme!”
“That’s right! Given how strong the poison is, there’s no way they have the capability to formulate the antidote.”
Chapter 3025 Lacking Objectivity
At that moment, everyone blocked Levi’s way, thinking he was a fool.
It wasn’t his behavior that irked them but the fact that he was going to waste a huge amount of resources. They felt it was a shame since those resources belonged to everyone.
Can’t he just give them to Erudia? Why must he waste them just like that?
Staring at them, Levi snapped, “Move aside! This has nothing to do with you.”
Maxwell retorted at once, “That’s not true! Your resources belong to Erudia, and that’s what makes it our business.”
Malcolm added, “By meeting Idrae, you are just giving away the resources for nothing. You will become the victim of a scam again. Until now, there are still those who ridicule you for being tricked the last time. And yet, you’re on your way to being conned again. Have you gone mad? Instead of wasting such a huge amount of resources, you might as well give them to Erudia.”
“Listen, the chances of Idrae having the antidote are much lower than the probability of me convincing Dr. Holden to help you. Therefore, you are making a mistake by giving the resources away.”
Malcom and Maxwell took turns to persuade Levi.
They didn’t really care if Levi was going to be cheated.
All they were worried about were the resources.
Instead of being swindled by Idrae, Levi could put those resources to better use in Erudia.
That was all.
“Get out of my way! How is this your f*cking business? Whether I’ll be cheated in the end or not, I’ll never give my resources to you. This is my personal affair. It has nothing to do with anyone else!” Levi sneered.
How dare they try emotional blackmail on me?
“Levi, what do you mean? You would allow yourself to be deceived, despite knowing it’s a charade?”
“I’m begging you to wake up! Stop giving away resources to our enemy. No one can stand this.”
“We’re not asking you to give the resources to Erudia. But at the very least, don’t give it to others, all right?”
At the end of the day, Malcom and Maxwell’s focus was on the resources.
They didn’t care about curing Forlevia and were only concerned about the resources falling into the hands of others.
“Enough! Stop harping on the resources. What do they have anything to do with you? They belong to Mr. Garrison, and he can decide what he wants to do with them, not to mention that he is using them to save his daughter,” Dr. Erebus couldn’t resist admonishing them.
Digital God threatened, “Leave now before we make you!”
“No way! What do outsiders like you know?”
Malcom and Maxwell refused to back down, causing tension to build in the air.
Just when sparks were about to fly, Daxon and DG Leo arrived with their men.
“What’s going on? What are you doing?”
“Since when do you have the authority to stick your nose into the Crown King’s business?”
“Even if you’re a deity now, you still have no right!” the crowd thundered.
Only then did Malcom and Maxwell step aside.
Without another word, Levi continued his way, followed by Dr. Erebus and the rest.
“Levi, you deserved to be scammed!”
“The wisdom you used to have is long gone!”
Levi had barely left when he heard Malcolm and Maxwell’s faint voice ring out in his ear.
In spite of that, he ignored them and continued to meet Idrae.
In truth, everyone knew the entire matter was a farce.
Given that they could see it clearly, they were puzzled by why Levi had fallen for it instead.
Is it because he lacks objectivity due to being directly involved? Will he only accept the cold hard truth after he has been cheated?
Even though Dr. Erebus and the others saw it that way, they still believed that Levi wasn’t allowing himself to be scammed. Instead, he was just trying his best to save Forlevia.
Consequently, they supported his choice and decision.
Before they started their journey, Digital God even asked, “Mr. Garrison, do you want me to bring the resources along?”
“Fine, take them along with us. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter to me,” Levi plainly answered.
Evidently, he didn’t really care about it.
Chapter 3026 A Brazen Scam
Soon, Levi and his men arrived at the agreed meeting place.
When the three leaders of Idrae saw Levi, smug smiles crept onto their faces.
Levi’s presence was a testament to the success of their scheme, causing them to be filled with triumphant ecstasy.
He’s finally here!
Levi’s arrival was the equivalent of them striking it rich.
“Mr. Garrison, it’s unfortunate that your daughter’s ice bed has been destroyed. We’re also sorry to hear the poison in her is acting up again. Nevertheless, we swear Idrae is only responsible for poisoning her. As for the destruction of the blood alteration record and the ice bed, we had nothing to do with it,” the three leaders of Idrae declared, as if poisoning Forlevia was an honorable thing to do.
In response, Dr. Erebus and Digital God clenched their fists in frustration.
They are just blatantly taunting us!
Nevertheless, Levi simply stared at them from afar.
Jerome and Jeriah continued with a smile, “Mr. Garrison, we would like to express our sympathies over what happened to your daughter. Therefore, through our relentless efforts, we have formulated an antidote for Final Malice. Your daughter’s poisoning can now be cured!”
The two had no sooner spoken than Dr. Erebus was filled with doubt.
He asked, “Are you sure you’re not lying? Where’s the antidote? Show it to me.”
Digital God added, “That’s right. Stop bragging. If you really have the cure, you should just show us!”
Jarvis cracked a smile. “Hold your horses. If you don’t trust us, this transaction will never go through. Isn’t that right, Mr. Garrison?”
He looked in Levi’s direction, but the latter simply continued to give them an icy stare.
Jeriah took a step forward and asserted, “Today’s transaction is simple. First, you have to trust us. Or we won’t be able to continue. Second, we’re here to negotiate our terms for the antidote, as we can’t give it away for free. After all, we have spent a lot of time and resources on its research.”
Dr. Erebus asked directly, “Tell us, what do you want?”
“In a nutshell, we want all the resources you have on hand. Only when we have everything would we show you the antidote,” Jerome demanded as he stood up.
Dr. Erebus pressed on, “Does that mean all our resources are only enough for the deposit? And that you’ll only show it to us instead of giving it?”
Jerome and Jerome nodded in unison. “That’s right! If you want to get your hands on the antidote, you will have to hand over both the resources and their secrets!”
“Exactly! The reason we are asking for so much is that of the difficulty of formulating the antidote. As a result, we want all your resources and the secrets of how you obtained them.”
Idrae’s ridiculous demands sowed doubt in Dr. Erebus and the rest regarding whether they actually possessed the antidote.
What they’re asking for is outrageous! However, their confidence is backed up by the fact that they may really have the cure.
A sudden realization dawned upon them.
“Are you trying to trick Mr. Garrison and take advantage of his predicament?”
“The aircraft behind us is filled with resources. Nevertheless, we’re not going to let you trick us into giving them to you easily.”
Dr. Erebus and Digital God smirked.
“Even if you are planning to con us, shouldn’t you at least show us something useful?”
They stared at the men from Idrae.
Feeling self-conscious, Jarvis shot the duo a glare. “Your words mean nothing here. What has this got anything to do with you?”
He turned to Levi. “Mr. Garrison, what do you think of our terms? Do you agree?”
From their perspective, only Levi would be deceived while everyone else still had a sound mind to recognize the scam.
Chapter 3027 Kill The Three Leaders Of Idrae
Everyone, including the three Idrae leaders, turned their attention to Levi.
After all, he was the idiot who came forward despite knowing that it was nothing but a scam.
For the choice he made, he couldn’t be anything else other than a fool.
Perhaps, it was simply due to him being mired in the situation, for everyone else could objectively see the charade.
There was never any antidote to begin with. It was just a scheme to prey on his desperation.
Even though Dr. Erebus and the others saw through the deception and wanted to dissuade Levi, they knew the latter was driven by his responsibility as a father.
Hence, they held their tongues and refrained from doing so.
All they could do was pray he would come to his senses and not take the bait.
They hoped he wouldn’t end up giving away those resources for nothing.
Suddenly, Levi walked up to the three Idrae leaders without saying a word.
“That should be the way. As long as you accept our conditions, your daughter will be saved!”
“Precisely! Since those resources are useless to you, exchanging them for your daughter’s cure is well worth it!”
When the three leaders saw him approaching, they assumed he had agreed.
Breaking into vibrant smiles, they were so ecstatic that they almost jumped for joy.
Levi has taken the bait! He has no choice but to believe us!
Dr. Erebus and the others sighed in resignation because they had failed to stop Levi.
Their objections were futile since the resources belonged to him.
As Levi approached the three leaders step by step, he kept mum all the way.
When he came up to them, Jarvis gave him a pat on the shoulder by reflex.
Slap!
The moment his palm touched Levi’s shoulder, he remarked, “You—”
Jarvis had barely spoken when the latter grabbed his right arm in a flash.
Crack!
A loud shattering sound rang out all of a sudden.
All that was left on Jarvis’ broken arm was bloody mush and a protruding bone.
“Argh!” he screamed in agonizing pain.
The sudden attack caught everyone by surprise.
Before anyone could react, Levi sprang into action. And that was just the beginning.
Boom!
Swinging out his hand, Levi landed his palm on Jarvis’ head with such force that it exploded like a watermelon.
A mix of warm blood and paste-like flesh splattered onto Jerome, Jeriah, and everyone else.
A sudden realization dawned upon them, but it was too late.
Slap!
With another slap, Levi killed Jerome.
Slap!
This time, Jeriah slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Everything happened so fast that no one could react at all.
When they saw the three leaders exploding from Levi’s strikes, Dr. Erebus and Digital were dumbstruck.
Wow! This is the Levi Garrison we know. Only he could do something like that. It’s unbelievably satisfying!
By the time the rest of the men from Idrae realized what was happening, Levi was already upon them.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
One by one, he gave them each a slap, causing consecutive blood mists to spew into the air.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten men collapsed onto the ground.
Levi had slapped to death twenty men from the Idrae entourage, leaving no survivors at all.
With only a hundred and eighty members despite its long history, the deaths were a devastating blow to Idrae.
More importantly, three of its leaders were taken out.
After killing all those men, Levi’s chest was heaving heavily.
It wasn’t because he was tired. Instead, he was relishing in the satisfaction of killing the men he had long targeted.
Chapter 3028 Killing A Few Men To Lighten My Mood
In fact, the sensation he felt transcended simple satisfaction.
His blood was actually boiling with excitement.
“Amazing! This feels unbelievably amazing!”
When they saw Levi panting and covered in blood, Dr. Erebus and Digital God felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their chest.
This is fantastic! Levi isn’t a fool at all! Not only did he reject their terms, but he also killed all of them in one fell swoop! Even at death, the three leaders from Idrae had no idea what happened. But why did Levi suddenly attack without saying a word? Isn’t he supposed to exhaust all possibilities for his daughter’s sake? How did he end up killing them right away without asking for more information? Did he actually come here with the intention of getting the cure?
Everyone was extremely confused. It was something they would never fully understand till the day they died.
Levi gradually turned around and explained, “I’m just in a bad mood recently. Killing a few enemies cheers me up.”
The men finally knew he had never planned to take the bait.
He was fully aware of Idrae’s plan from the very beginning.
There was no antidote in Xyperia. They were just trying to trick him into handing over all his resources.
Levi must have been utterly annoyed when the Cardinal Hall sent men to dissuade him from this meetup. He probably knows better than anyone that it was nothing but a charade from the very beginning. There was never any need for anyone to dictate it to him. After all, he was clearly aware of his own situation and the fact that Idrae was just trying to take advantage of it. The only reason he agreed to the meeting was just so that he could kill them. As expected, their slaughter couldn’t be any more satisfying!
Under normal circumstances, Idrae’s members would never reveal themselves, especially with Hydron hunting them.
They would always stay within the confines of Xyperia.
Even when they left, they would usually be heavily escorted by Deities.
Levi expected them to meet with him after he readily agreed to their proposal, for that was his way of luring Idrae out to be assassinated.
The results were better than he predicted. He got to kill three scums instead of one!
Now that he got the tension out of his system, he exclaimed, “This feels great!”
After that, he let out a long sigh.
“Do you really think I am a fool to believe you actually have the antidote? What a joke! Even if you do, would I dare use it?” Levi burst into hearty laughter.
“Hahaha, we really thought you would agree.” Dr. Erebus and Digital God smiled in embarrassment.
Levi shot them a glance. “Do I look like I’m a pig in a poke? Besides, the previous fraud succeeded because I let it happen. I was curious to see what they had hidden up their sleeve. Anyway, we will get back at them sooner or later.”
After Levi and his men returned, Malcom and Maxwell came to see them again.
“Have you given all your resources away? Do you feel better now?”
“Levi, have you finally realized what an idiot you are?”
The two deities asked consecutively.
Slap!
Slap!
The only response Levi gave them was a forceful slap each.
Stunned by the strike, both men were dumbfounded.
How dare Levi hit us?
Even then, Levi had shown them mercy simply because they were from The Cardinal Hall.
Were anyone else had dared to annoy him, Levi would have killed them with the two slaps instead of just giving them a warning.
Tens of seconds later, the two men cupped their cheeks as what happened hit them.
Given that they were Deities, they felt humiliated by Levi’s slaps.
“Levi, this will be the end of you!”
Both men saw red and attacked.
Chapter 3029 Do Not Ask What You Are Not Supposed To
They had never been humiliated like that before, especially since they had become the Deities of Erudia.
After all, they were Erudia’s pillar of support.
By slapping those two official Deities, Levi had utterly embarrassed them.
Just when Malcom and Maxwell wanted to attack Levi as retaliation, Dr. Erebus and Digital God stepped forward.
“I dare you to take another step forward! Are you itching for a fight? If you are, feel free to come at me!”
“Come on, let’s fight! I’ve been waiting for ages to beat you up!”
Dr. Erebus exuded a powerful aura, while Digital God was on the verge of losing his temper after suppressing his fury for a long time.
Even Deities had hierarchies amongst themselves.
As such, when they noticed Dr. Erebus and Digital God’s terrifying auras, Malcom and Maxwell were stunned.
They quickly became aware of the fact that they were not on the same level as Dr. Erebus. In fact, even Digital God was stronger than them.
They knew that if they fought, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, now that they had already rushed forward, it was difficult for them to back down.
Luckily, at that moment, Daxon and the rest showed up to break up the impending fight.
Daxon knew that if those two men went up against Levi, they would definitely be on the losing end.
Only then did Malcom and Maxwell have an excuse to retreat.
“Crown King, did you really give your resources to them?” blurted someone who was unable to hold himself back anymore.
Levi turned around and glanced at him. “That’s none of your business. Don’t ask what you aren’t supposed to ask.”
Meanwhile, at the Idrae training base in Xyperia, they received news that all twenty people had been killed.
“What? Jarvis, Jerome, and Jeriah got killed?” exclaimed the other six leaders in shock.
Those three men had been with them since the last century.
They have never faced any danger all this while, but Levi killed them just like that?
“Is Levi crazy? Shouldn’t he take advantage of every opportunity for his daughter? Even if it offers only the slightest hope, he should’ve still agreed to it!”
“How can he kill them just like that?”
“I get it now. Levi’s plan was to lure us out so it’s easier to kill us!”
“This grudge between us will never be forgotten, Levi! Don’t even think about curing your daughter’s poison. In fact, we’ll go to all lengths possible to stop you!”
Levi had infuriated them completely.
This outcome was something that they had never expected.
Everyone thought that there would be no problem as long as Levi agreed, but he ended up killing everyone.
Right from the start, his aim was to kill.
This turn of events caught everyone off guard.
On the other hand, Levi was much more relaxed.
Gazing at Forlevia, who was fast asleep, Levi heaved a deep sigh. He mulled over Dr. Erebus’ suggestion to cure her poison using dark magic.
Even if dark magic might lead to unwanted consequences, such as Forlevia losing her mind, it was still the only solution left.
After all, the Final Malice was evolving so rapidly to the point where each relapse was more severe than the previous one.
Levi could not stay still any longer.
Even if Forlevia ends up losing her mind, it is still better than being tormented by the poison again.
“Shall we give it a shot?”
After thinking about it for a long time, Levi heaved a sigh. He had no choice but to relent.
When he told his decision to Dr. Erebus, the latter immediately started looking into dark magic treatments to cure the poison.
Naturally, he needed to keep a low profile when doing that.
Since offering a reward was out of the question, he went to look for the treatments secretly.
As for the magical medicine that Chad mentioned, it was so well-hidden that nobody could find it.
At the moment, Chad, who had just started resting, sighed. “I wonder how Levi’s daughter is doing. I could’ve cured her poison, but I can’t. This feels horrible.”
The reason was mainly that the poison within Forlevia was too powerful.
He would need to be completely focused and use all the techniques that he knew.
Even then, success would still be uncertain.
If he used other less-intensive methods to cure the poison, such as brewing herbal tea, they would not work.
Chapter 3030 Arrived At This Step
There was another effective treatment, which was the magical medicine that Chad claimed to have.
In fact, Chad had purposely revealed the existence of said magical medicine because he wanted Levi to look for it.
Otherwise, he would have never mentioned such an important magical medicine so easily.
Unfortunately, the magical medicine was no longer with him. It had been taken by those mysterious men and was swiftly hidden by them.
Chad could only pray that Levi would find it.
“Levi, I know that you’re worried about your daughter, but I am worried about my own daughter, too! If I cure your daughter’s poison, my daughter will die. Just like you, I’m willing to sacrifice anything for my daughter. I will do anything for her safety. So I understand how you feel all too well!”
Chad kept sighing.
Since the other party had control over his daughter, she would die if he dared to cure Forlevia.
This was why he was acting so ruthlessly.
Chad reckoned that if their roles were reversed, Levi would do the same too.
Even if he wanted to help Levi, he could not.
Since the other party was monitoring his every move, he would get caught if he did anything suspicious.
Furthermore, even he had no idea who dared to target Levi like that.
In other words, he was still clueless about who had his daughter hostage.
He was still trying to find out who those people were.
When he created Deities for Erudia, they did not stop him.
After he had created Malcom and Maxwell, he was in the midst of creating another batch.
Even then, those mysterious forces had never said anything about it. They were only targeting Levi and preventing his daughter from being cured.
Because of that, Chad suspected that they were from Erudia.
By creating Deities for Erudia, he did not breach any of their principles. In fact, it would even benefit them.
However, it seemed to be disadvantageous to them if Levi’s daughter get cured. Hence, they were frantically targeting Levi.
Besides, when Chad exposed himself, those people quickly found him.
Other than Erudia’s internal forces, no one could have done that.
The only point puzzling him was that those people were simply too powerful.
It seemed that every other existence in the world was nothing to them.
Even though it had been ages since the spiritual energy revival, Erudia still did not have fighters in such a high class.
So how can one explain that? This is why I’m still confused. If I must make a guess, it can only be those people.
Chad’s eyes lit up at that thought.
But I guess it does not matter whether it was them or not, for regardless of how strong Levi is, he still wouldn’t be their opponent.
In the end, Chad had no choice but to drop some clues about the magical medicine.
However, Levi still could not find it.
If Chad did not know who was targeting Levi, it would be even less possible for Levi to know.
Unbeknownst to Chad, Levi had already given up on searching for the magical medicine.
Now, he instructed Dr. Erebus to quickly seek out dark magic treatments all over the world.
Rodunst, who was willing to help, secretly sent some people to look for and choose those treatments with Dr. Erebus.
They ended up finding many witches and wizards who practiced all sorts of crazy dark magic.
Eventually, Dr. Erebus selected a few methods that were more powerful.
However, they all shared a commonality—regardless of whether the outcome was successful, Forlevia would still suffer from backlash.
There was a ridiculous example. According to what a witch said, they could summon an evil spirit to chase the poison away. But, regardless of whether the poison could be eliminated, the evil spirit would still possess Forlevia.
Of course, Levi did not believe in those nonsensical and unreliable explanations.
Even though the outcomes were uncertain, he was still certain of the fact that Forlevia would definitely suffer some negative impacts.
As a result, he couldn’t bring himself to go on with the plan.
Hence, he instructed Dr. Erebus to continue searching for other reliable treatments.
At the very least, they must yield some results for Levi to accept them.
If the outcomes were uncertain, no one would know what would actually happen.
Apart from getting Dr. Erebus to help, Levi had also sent out Venom Fiend because a creature like him would be more experienced in this.
“We’ve arrived at this step, huh?” mumbled Levi as he gazed at Forlevia.
