“Yeah! You should bow to express your gratitude!”
“Lance went through a lot of trouble to help you rescue Evie. The least you can do is to give him a bow!”
“Hurry up! If it wasn’t for Lance, your daughter wouldn’t even be here right now,” uttered Aaron.
Zoey also chimed in, “Levi, hurry up and apologize to Lance. We are deeply indebted to him!”
She then turned her head toward Forlevia. “Eve, we must always repay our debt. Remember that.”
“But it was Daddy who…”
Forlevia was interrupted by Cora before she could finish her sentence.
“You should show some gratitude! Evie wouldn’t be here now without Lance’s help!” exhorted Cora.
“Do you understand now, Levi? The Nine Lords are leagues above the God of War. You are nothing compared to Lance. It took him less than two hours to successfully rescue Eve, whereas you took your sweet time and still failed miserably to do so,” insisted Shaun.
As far as they were concerned, Levi was way below Lance’s league.
Lance’s face was getting darker as the conversation went on.
With his head lowered, Lance looked pensive.
How did it come to this?
Everyone thinks I’m the one who saved Evie.
They are even telling Levi to bow to me…
What should I do? Lance was terrified.
“It’s fine. There’s no need to thank me. I wasn’t even involved in this in the first place…”
Lance looked agonized and was anxiously shaking his leg.
“You’re way too humble, Lance. That is why you’re so likable and popular!” Cora complimented Lance.
“Lance is such a good person! He was willing to help Levi even though Levi was the one responsible for his brother’s death.”
“Being the kind-hearted person that he is, Lance must think that saving a life isn’t something worth bragging about. That must be the reason why he said he wasn’t involved in this matter.”
Everyone had misinterpreted Lance’s words.
In the meantime, Lance was devastated.
You guys! are something else.
That was not what I f*cking meant!
I wasn’t the one who saved Eve.
Please just stop talking! Can’t you guys just be taciturn for a while?
Master is unequivocally going to disown me after this…
Lance had a despondent expression on his face.
“It’s only right for you thank Lance for what he did!”
“What are you doing, Levi? Kneel!”
“Yeah! Let us see you bow down to Lance!”
Everyone was vehemently exhorting Levi to apologize to Lance.
On the other hand, Lance felt like he was suffocating.
Staring at the back of Levi, Lance was sweating profusely with a pale look on his face.
Please just stop blabbering!
I really don’t need him to thank me!
Lance was on the verge of crying.
“Go and express your gratitude, Levi! He’s the one who saved Evie!” uttered Zoey.
Suddenly, Levi let out a chuckle. “I’m willing to express my gratitude to him. The thing is, would he be intrepid enough to accept it?”
Lance felt a shiver running down his spine.
No, of course not!
After hearing Levi’s response, the others were livid.
“What are you on about, Levi? What did you mean by that?”
“You ungrateful piece of sh*t! Lance saved your daughter! Shouldn’t you be thankful for what he did?”
“Levi, what we’re asking you to do here is basic human decency! You should thank him for helping you to save Evie!”
