The reason for his shock was that his daughter Forlevia was the last name on the Stone List!
The last name on the list was too glaring and stunned Levi, leaving him unsettled for a long time.
Who revealed information about Evie’s potential?
He made an effort to hide that from the Lopez and Black families. As for those from Wildefield, they badly wanted to keep Forlevia from the public’s eyes, so there was no chance they would leak out that information.
Who could have possibly leaked that information?
Levi knew Forlevia would never be qualified for the Stone List based on her ability at that point in time. Although he had been working with her on strengthening her foundation, he had not given her any training to improve her fighting skills.
The only possible reason for her to be ranked would be if they assessed her based on her potential.
That meant someone had discovered and acknowledged her hidden potential!
The most shocking fact was the reason The Manifest Court gave for including Forlevia in the list. They said she had the rare potential unrivaled by anyone in the recent one thousand years.
That immediately put Forlevia in the spotlight. If the assessment made by The Manifest Court was correct, that meant she could very well rise to be number one on the Stone List and then subsequently number one on the Gem List in the future.
Levi thought someone had intentionally leaked out information about Forlevia, but she was actually on The Manifest Court’s radar all the while. No one escaped their surveillance.
Levi could only manage a wry smile. Both father and daughter were on the list. One was on the Gem List, and the other on the Stone List. Ironically, both of them ended up at the bottom of their respective lists.
CalaMaster’s ranking shocked the world, whereas Forlevia’s ranking shocked Erudia.
Although the Stone List was for youths below the age of thirty and raring to go, Forlevia’s inclusion still created a stir due to her young age.
To be ranked when one was just a few years old was unheard of, and everyone who saw the list was stunned.
Who is she?
How could one possess such frightening potential?
Forlevia’s sudden fame spread far and wide, and the international community also took notice of her.
The fact that Erudia had many formidable warriors as in the Gem List, plus such a highly acclaimed future super warrior in the making, meant it would remain invincible for a long time to come.
When Levi rushed back to North Hampton, he found that the Gem&Stone List had created a furor at home too.
Zoey and all at home knew about Forlevia’s ranking on the Stone List. In addition to family members from both the Lopez and Black families, some members from the Great Family of Westford also rushed over, worried for Forlevia.
“Have you heard about it, Levi?” Zoey anxiously asked as she saw Levi walk in.
“Yes, I heard. It is my fault for not keeping the secret well hidden,” Levi replied remorsefully.
As a father, it was natural he wanted to protect Forlevia for as long as he could. It was unfortunate the news of her hidden potential could not be kept under wraps.
One could imagine the dangers Forlevia would face in the future.
Many parties, be it righteous ones or cults such as Wildefield or the Shadow Order, would want to take her in under their wings to groom her.
As many countries would fear she, with her future superpowers, would be a threat to them, they would also want to eliminate her while she was still young and defenseless.
Everyone at home knew being on the Stone List was not good news for Forlevia. She was too young and unable to fend for herself, and they did not think they had the ability to protect her as well.
“Don’t worry, I am here. With me around, I doubt anyone would dare mess with Evie,” Levi promised.
“You? Forget it! It is big trouble for Evie now! Many people are eyeing her now, so we may not even get to see her in the future.”
“Oh, my poor Evie… why do you have to be gifted with such a talent?”
The elder folks hugged Forlevia tightly in their arms, pained at the thought of all the dangers she could meet.
“It would be a different story if you were CalaMaster! But I heard CalaMaster is from Eragon,” they sighed.
As the Dragonites had done a great job keeping CalaMaster’s identity a secret, Levi could not rebut the elders, so he merely sneered, “I am Crown King, so I shall see who would dare to lay a finger on my daughter.”
