The man who had spoken wore a Kuro Dragon mask, masking his features entirely.
His anger was, however, palpable.
“Impossible! The Dragonites may be strong, but they’re no match for the Four Devils! How could they fail?” The crowd was perplexed.
The man in the Kuro Dragon mask said, “I heard that they arranged for the Crown King to escort the entourage.”
“What? The Crown King?”
“I’ll give this to them. I didn’t expect the Dragonites to have the Crown King escort their precious cargo. Only they would’ve thought of such a plan!”
Kuro Dragon sighed. “I didn’t expect it either. He must be insanely strong if he defeated the Four Devils. Luckily we didn’t leave any evidence behind.”
“Sir, Prince William of Zarain wants to know if we got the drug.”
“Tell him we failed,” Kuro Dragon replied darkly.
The royalty’s reply came quickly. “Prince William said we can get what we want if we impress him with other means.”
“How about the deaths of a few people?” Kuro Dragon asked.
“Huh? Who?”
The crowd was curious.
“Only someone as stupid as Tenichi would think of killing Levi Garrison! What’s the point? He’s nothing but trash.”
“We need to go for the ones who are still in active service! Let’s go after Winsor and Minka and gift their heads to Prince William. He’ll appreciate the gesture, I’m sure of it!”
“Good idea!”
The suggestion quickly gained traction among the crowd.
Kuro Dragon smirked. “Alright, here are my orders. Our next operation is to hunt the Gods of War, and the targets are Minka and Winsor.”
Levi, on the other hand, returned to North Hampton that very day.
Even so, Minka’s guards had not noticed his return.
“North, bring me to the Lopez family residence. I want to visit Evie and Zoey.”
Levi missed them dearly, and he could care less about Cora’s restraining order, even if it came from the Great Family of Westford.
He would not let anyone in this world tie him down.
North Sky Lord sent Levi to the Lopez family residence quickly.
Forlevia was playing near the front door. Once she saw Levi, she pounced into his arms.
“Daddy!”
Levi cradled his daughter lovingly.
“Did you miss Daddy?”
“Yes!”
Forlevia planted a small kiss on Levi’s cheek.
She continued excitedly, “I knew Daddy would visit Mommy and me soon!”
Her commotion attracted the attention of everyone at home.
“What’s going on?”
The first person who arrived was Melanie Lopez.
At the sight of Levi, Melanie roared, “Levi Garrison! How dare you show up here? Put Evie down this instant! Are you ignoring grandma’s restraining order? You don’t have the right to visit Evie or Zoey!”
Levi gave her the cold shoulder and continued hugging his daughter.
“If you don’t put Evie down this instant—”
Melanie rushed toward him in a fit of anger, planning to grab Forlevia from his arms.
But before she could do anything, North Sky Lord had planted himself before her and grabbed her wrist, stopping her advance.
“Let me go! Don’t you know who I am?”
The Lopez family had become one of the most prominent families in Erudia, stronger even than the Garrison clan in Oakland City.
Melanie’s arrogance had ballooned to unimaginable proportions as a result.
She treated Erudia like her personal playground, and everyone else was beneath her.
“Like I care!” North Sky Lord sneered.
“Remove your hand right now, or you’re dead!” Melanie screamed.
North Sky Lord shoved her away in response.
Once she had regained her bearings, Melanie bellowed, “Levi Garrison is here! And he’s trying to take Evie away!”
