Receiving offers from Zarain and other countries was not a good thing. Levi was aware that some people were expecting him to betray Erudia by succumbing to the temptations. After all, they all saw him as a threat.
Hence, he had pretty much anticipated the Dragonites’ arrival. Since his technique book was no longer a secret, many people would keep an eye on him, including the Dragonites.
Now that they had found out about it, they would certainly make a move. After all, he was now only an ordinary person, so they needed to replace him with someone else.
Replacing him was an easy job, particularly since Lance had resolved this matter, which meant the Nine Lords were qualified enough to take over his place, especially if they managed to obtain the technique book too.
Little did they know, I was the one who solved the problem. Bearing that thought in mind, a smile crept onto Levi’s face.
“Since you have decided to be an ordinary person, let’s do it properly. Otherwise, you’ll remain in this circle,” advised Severus.
“Yeah,” Rico agreed. “That’s the only way you can fully live like an ordinary person. No trouble will come your way anymore.”
“You mean to say that I should hand over my technique book, right?” Levi smiled.
“Yes. Exactly.”
“Not only that, you’re also required to incapacitate your martial prowess.”
Upon hearing that sentence, Levi was stupefied.
I have to do that too?
Before long, Levi burst into a laughter.
Ah, that’s right. No ordinary person should possess any martial skills.
“You’re also aware that other countries are trying to snatch you over. In case you can’t resist the temptation, or if your family receives threats, it would be a disaster for Erudia. The only way to prevent that is for you to return to being a completely ordinary person. If you have no value, people will stop disturbing you. We hope you’ll understand our decision. This is also for Erudia’s safety. You can regard this as your final contribution to the country.
At this moment, everyone stared at Levi in anticipation of his reply.
Scanning their faces, a bitter smile appeared on Levi’s face.
“Have you all come up with this unanimously?” he inquired.
“Yes. Here’s the list of everyone’s signatures,” replied Severus as he handed Levi a piece of paper.
Glancing at the list filled with the signatures of all members of the Dragonites, Levi knew they were serious about it since their existence was solely to erase any forms of threats that could bestow upon Erudia. Never would he have envisioned that there would come a day where he was also one of the threats.
“Since it has already come to this extent, how could I not agree? Very well. I will do as you requested.”
Having heard his response, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
In the end, Levi surrendered the technique book which he had obtained back in prison.
The covers of the book had turned yellowish, whereas the papers inside were severely damaged. Despite the book’s appearance, the Dragonites confirmed that it was real after thoroughly checking the item.
“Here. I’ll rid of my martial prowess right before you.”
Right after Levi made that remark, his body emitted loud cracking sounds as blood gradually trickled down the corners of his lips.
“Are you happy now?” He smiled.
Exchanging looks with one another, Severus, Rico, and the others signaled for them to proceed with their plan.
Upon getting the message, a few elites emerged from their hidden spot and rushed toward Levi.
“Forgive us for doing this!” exclaimed one of them as they continuously and vigorously tapped on all of Levi’s martial veins to disable them.
With this, he definitely could not do any sort of combat training any longer.
Not only did he return to an ordinary being, but he was also disabled now.
Retch!
Vomiting blood out, Levi wiped his face with his hand before letting out a smile. “I will remember this day!”
