“Why did you do that, Levi?”
“Have you any idea how much we’ve lost within the past three months? This is a huge blow to Erudia!”
“Yeah! And it’s all your fault!”
Utterly confused by the accusations, Levi stared at the crowd in front of him.
What’s that got to do with me? They asked for the book, and I gave it to them.
“I’ve already handed over the book. Sure, it had missing steps before, but I’ve fixed them myself,” he replied seriously.
“What do you mean you have fixed it? Sounds more like you’ve tampered the steps.”
“That’s right! He must have deliberately messed it up!”
“Levi, you better have an explanation for what you did!”
Frowning at their words, a chilly aura exuded from his body.
“I’ll say it one last time,” he warned. “There’s nothing wrong with the steps.”
“Impossible! Why does no one get results then?
“Yeah! How are you going to explain that?”
Reaching his limit, Levi’s aura intensified as he shouted, “Scram!”
His roar stunned everyone present. Right at this moment, they felt like they were facing the former Crown King. Terrified, all of them dared not make any eye contact with him. But then something clicked in their minds—Levi was an ordinary person now. What was there to be afraid of?
“We’ll get straight to the point, Levi. Hand over the real technique book, or else we’ll not let this issue slide.”
“If you don’t see yourselves out, I’ll kill you right now!”
“Go for it, then,” the men challenged.
“You asked for it!”
When Levi was about to launch his attack, Lance showed up at the right time.
“What are you guys doing?” he asked. “Just because my master’s an ordinary person now doesn’t mean you can bully him. Do you wish to face the wrath of the Nine Lords?”
Intimidated by Lance, the men’s faces lost their colors.
“No. We’re here for something else, Lance.” With that, one of them proceeded to recap the current event regarding the technique.
After hearing the story, Lance sneered, “I suppose every one of you here knows everything Master did for Erudia these past years, so how could you even accuse him of something that could bring harm to the country? Besides, considering he’s an ordinary man now, surely he doesn’t need the technique anymore. If none among the hundred warriors have gotten results, then it must mean that not everyone’s worthy of that technique!”
Everyone was astonished by his words because it was true. Since Levi was willing to incapacitate his own martial prowess, what did he need the technique for?
“We’re so sorry! It seems like we’re the ones who didn’t do it properly!”
“Hurry up and get lost!”
With that said, everyone immediately set off.
“Don’t you dare come bother my master again!” Lance seethed.
“Well, you’ve granted them a chance to continue living,” Levi uttered, shaking his head helplessly.
“Don’t worry, Master. As your disciple, I vow to protect you and your family for life! I bet the others will too. You may be an ordinary person, but we’re not.”
“I don’t need protection,” Levi sniggered.
