The much anticipated moment had arrived.
This would ben God Scepter’s first activation.
The world would finally get to see the wrath of God Scepter!
Bruce was covered in sweat with the launcher in his hand, and all eyes were on him.
“Goodbye, Byron!” Bruce exclaimed and pushed the button, flopping onto the chair behind him immediately after.
At that instance, everyone there was stuck with a huge sense of relief and let out a deep sigh.
It’s finally done!
All the parties in Zarain had their fists clenched while they waited for the arrival of God Scepter.
One second.
Two seconds.
……
More than ten seconds had passed, but there was no sign of anything happening.
It was like God Scepter completely missed its mark, and everyone was in shock.
More time passed, and there was still nothing.
“What happened? What is this?”
“What the hell is going on right now!”
…
The people of Zarain were all asking similar questions
The lab in charge of God Scepter was especially dumbfounded at the situation as well.
God Scepter did not launch after Bruce pressed the button.
“What’s happening?”
Everyone there was initially stunned, but eventually started reacting.
They were all astonished by what just happened, or more specifically, what didn’t happen.
“What?” Bruce got up from the floor and roared. “Did it not launch? How could that be? Check it! Check it now!”
The whole lab erupted into chaos. Everyone was scrambling to examine and check for errors.
“Sir! The launch system malfunctioned! That’s why the launch did not go through!”
They quickly find the reason.
“Fix it! Quick!”
“How long does it take to finish the repair!” Bruce exclaimed.
“It’ll take at least twenty minutes. sir!”
“We’ll try our best!”
……
The technicians started the repair procedures immediately.
No one could have thought that an error like that would occur at such crucial timing.
That critical twenty minutes had resulted in Levi leaving Zarain without further problems.
We can’t just use God Scepter on another nation’s soil, right?
The whole base was in dead silence while Bruce smashed the desk in front of him out of frustration.
That said, when her turned around, there was a smirk on his face.
Truth be told, he was behind the malfunctioning of the launch system.
The reasoning behind his action was simple. He did not want his brother, Byron, to die.
Bruce was a man who placed family above all.
Otherwise, he would not have done all the maniacal things back then.
He would never be able to kill his own brother. To him, Byron was far more important than the pride of Zarain.
The humiliation they received from Erudia could always be repaid, but Byron only had one life.
And so, the malfunction of God Scepter’s launch system signified Zarain’s failure to stop Levi from leaving the country.
Meanwhile, Levi stood at the borderline with the two men with him.
He laughed. “Didn’t you say they’d kill me?”
“You… “
Byron and Jared were both surprised to see that Levi would reach the border that easily.
“Let’s go! It’s time to face the punishments you deserve back in Erudia!” Levi said as he crossed the border with them.
After that, Levi stuck the broken sword he had on Zarain’s borderline.
His intention was clear as day.
That sword was proof that Levi had entered Zarain and left with two of its men.
It was proof of the greatest humiliation Zarain had ever experienced.
