The others were surprised at the Lopezs’ request.
So they had come to ask Levi to bring the others back and also return their names as a citizen of Erudia.
No matter how much the older family members scolded them, or how much they had betrayed their ancestors.
After all, how could they bear to let their children suffer out in the unknown?
Despite that, it was still hard to save them.
For one, at such a crucial time, none of them were supposed to leave Erudia.
Apart from that, Henry and Fabian didn’t have any identification. They couldn’t enter Erudia either way.
Not even martial artists were exempted to this rule.
After Eragon had emerged and defeated the Ruling Union, martial artists could no longer do whatever they wanted.
They had to listen to the Dragonites.
So even though they badly wanted to bring Henry and Fabian back, they couldn’t do anything about it.
That was when they heard that Levi had returned and rushed to see him.
To someone like Levi, getting Henry and Fabian back as well as returning their identification was just a matter of putting in some words.
It was as easy as lifting a finger for him.
“Yes, they have betrayed Erudia and their ancestors, and deserve to be punished for that. However, we can’t just watch them die in a godforsaken unfamiliar land.”
“We’ve decided to bring them back. Who cares if we get scolded and ridiculed for it?”
“Levi, we came here to ask you to get them back.”
“That’s right! You only need to put in one word for them to come back and restore their identities.”
……
It was the first time Cora and the others had ever been even remotely polite to Levi.
“Have they officially estranged themselves from the country?” Levi asked.
“Yes! Those unfilial kids thought Erudia was done for and ran off without even listening to us!” Meredith said through her tears.
Levi chuckled. “They’re all adults now, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are. What’s wrong?” Harry replied without thinking.
“Since they’re all adults now, they should take responsibility for their actions. I’m sure they didn’t suddenly decide to betray the country in the spur of the moment. After leaving Erudia, everything they do is purely up to them,” Levi said seriously.
“What?”
“W-what’s that supposed to mean?”
The Lopez family members stared at him, then they realized what he meant.
“What I mean is that I’m not going. Since they decided to leave Erudia, they should never come back. In fact, I’m going to let everybody know that no one who left Erudia is allowed to come back, no matter what.”
Levi was firm in his decision, causing everyone in the room to gape in shock.
“How dare you?” Cora yelled.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Levi said with a cold chuckle.
“They left, didn’t they? They’re no longer Erudians, so there’s no need for me to go bring them back.”
–
“What are you saying? They are still family! You can’t just get your revenge now because you had spats with Logan in the past,” Meredith said.
“That’s right! We’re still family! How could you bear to see them die in the middle of nowhere?”
“Who do you think you are? No matter how powerful you are now, you still can’t leave your family behind like that.”
All of the Lopez family members were chattering and arguing.
Even Emma and Caitlyn piped up, “Levi, you should just help them out. It’s an easy errand for you after all. Just look at how worried they are.”
Cora suddenly thought of asking Zoey to persuade Levi.
However, Zoey stood firm. “I’m with Levi on whatever he says!”
“I’m not going to care about them. They can die for all I care.”
