Upon hearing Jared talk, Levi was even more surprised.
He’s no longer the timid and submissive Jared that I know.
As the conversation went on, Jared revealed that because he wasn’t satisfied with his appearance, he had undergone plastic surgery in Keerea.
“Everything can be changed these days, so there’s no need to hide about getting plastic surgery,” Jared said candidly.
“What are you working on now, Jared?”
“I joined a technology organization after I graduated from university. But afterward, I decided to go solo. Now I’m managing a technology company that researches and manufactures new weapons. We even have partnerships with various foreign groups!”
Everyone stared in shock and awe as soon as Jared finished speaking.
Based on achievements alone, Jared was only second to Zoey, and that was very impressive.
“Out of all of us, you and Zoey are the most accomplished. You know about martial artists, don’t you? Zoey is now a Supreme class warrior, so powerful that she can destroy the world if she wanted to.”
To everyone’s surprise, Jared was hardly impressed. “Martial artists are so wildly exaggerated. Modern technology is perfectly capable of defeating them!”
“How’s that possible? Supreme class warriors are known to be able to go up against small nuclear weapons.”
With that, everyone fell into a heated discussion about martial artists and modern weapons.
Levi, who had been listening silently, furrowed his brows.
He had an inkling that Jared wasn’t bragging for the sake of belittling martial artists.
Jared was too confident and seemed to know a lot about Supreme class warriors. There was a high chance that he was telling the truth.
To think that an ordinary person like him can scoff at our best warriors. That sure is scary!
However, Levi decided not to put too much thought into it and continued to enjoy the gathering.
As soon as it ended, Levi left with Forlevia to get the car, only to see Zoey and Jared arguing when they returned.
Naturally, Zoey was still fuming when she finally got in the car.
Levi saw the darkened gaze on Jared’s face through the rearview mirror.
As it turned out, Jared had confessed his feelings to Zoey.
He claimed that he wouldn’t mind her past, that he’d accept Forlevia as his own, and that Levi was no longer good enough for her.
“He’s crazy! He was such an honest kid back in school. How did he become like this? The more I look at him, the more I think he looks like a demon!” Zoey spat as rage continued to sear through her.
Levi nodded. “My sentiments exactly. I think the success of his business has gotten to his head and changed his entire personality!”
“All right, let’s not talk about him anymore. I don’t wish to see him again either!”
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of Stellar City’s Triple Group headquarters, a mysterious guest had paid a visit.
“Let’s cut to the chase. The purpose of my visit is to invite Triple Group to join the allied army. Here’s the list of all the members and organizations who have already joined,” the guest said as he slid a name list over to everyone.
Upon looking through the name list, the color drained from everyone’s faces. “What? They’ve all joined?”
Despite the many gasps and exclamations, it didn’t take long before Triple Group came to a decision.
“Count Triple Group in!”
Triple Group might look like a run-of-the-mill company, but in reality, they were a powerful force.
They had kept the true extent of their power well hidden until Gods’ Promise got destroyed.
Only then did they gradually show their prowess.
“However, Triple Group has a request.”
“What is it?” the guest asked quizzically.
“When the time comes, you have to give us Levi!”
Their request was simple, but it amused the guest so much he started laughing. “What has Levi Garrison done to be the number one target? Everyone has made the same request, which is to hand him over!”
The people from Triple Group froze for a moment before asking, “What? Who else is asking for Levi?”
“There are so many I’ve lost count. But I can tell you that there are at least thirty forces in the allied army that want Levi and more than a hundred individuals who want Levi dead!”
