“Levi, didn’t you say that this route was dangerous? We’ve gone through it safely. Where’s the danger?”
“Are you still insisting that we listen to you? Have you gone nuts?”
Phenix and the others chided the man.
The Wolf squad and over ten covert sentries broke into a fit of laughter.
“Did he take us for fools? The routes ahead are well within our control. There is no danger!”
“Were you just trying to make your presence known? You’ve contributed nothing to this mission!”
“So, do you still think that your suggestion is viable?” Drakon and the others asked.
Levi nodded his head. “Yes, I believe that there is a problem with this route. That’s why I suggested a change a route a while back.”
“I can’t believe how delusional he is! Let’s just dump him here, and let him wheel himself back to the city!” Drakon was about to burst from the boiling rage.
“Yes, I second that.”
The others harbored the same thought.
Levi was essentially challenging their judgement.
“Forget it. As long as we’ve completed our mission. There’s no need to squabble over minor matters.”
“Yes, the aim of our mission is to see the drug safely delivered,” Lenix resonated with the other neutral voice.
The others heeded her advice.
“Okay, we’re going to continue on our journey. We’re safe once we reach Oakland City and consider our mission accomplished after we’ve handed the drug over to the Dragonites.”
The Wolf squad and covert sentries pressed on.
They were at the boundaries of Oakland City, and everyone looked bright with smiles.
They assumed that nobody would strike them at Oakland City.
After all, Oakland City was a restricted area.
Levi could not refute the idea. When he was the God of War, everywhere in Erudia was restricted area to those who were trying to stir trouble.
Needless to say, Oakland City, which was the heart of Erudia, was under the most protection.
Since nobody had attacked them during their long journey, it was only natural to assume that their remaining journey right in Oakland City would go on smoothly as well.
However, as a matter of fact, they were wrong.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Just then, the air howled with rustling sounds.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, thick trees came rolling from all directions, hitting the jeeps with loud thuds, almost knocking them over.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A number of covert sentries fell after being shot to the ground.
The Wolf squad, which was just in the vicinity, sustained certain degrees of injuries.
Cars that sped along the way came to a sudden halt.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, catching everyone off guard.
At that moment, all colors drained from Drakon, Panthera, Lenix, and Phenix’s faces.
All of them turned pale as snow at the sudden turn of events.
Did someone just strike us?
Levi was right…
But we’re at Oakland City, the restricted area!
They’re striking us midday, no less…
They did not choose to strike during the night when rain poured down on us and instead chose to strike during midday, right in Oakland City.
Needless to say, it was out of everyone’s expectation, a possibility that they had never once considered.
Even the Dragonites had not expected the brazenness.
If they had anticipated the brazen attack, they would have sent people to welcome them right at the entrance.
The blind spot was that everyone thought Oakland City was safe.
Nobody had expected that anyone would dare to make a move within Oakland City.
However, there were people who were bold enough to strike near Oakland City’s boundaries in broad daylight.
The four members of Phoenix squad cast inexplicable gazes at Levi.
The man was right…
He did warn us beforehand.
If we had heeded his advice, our enemies would not have been able to make a move against us.
We would have been able to complete the mission without a glitch, and without casualties.
They had to admit that Levi was at a different level.
How did he predict that there was going to be danger ahead of us?
