In the hollow compartment, he found three ancient manuals, a piece of torn sheepskin, and a black token.
He was positive his mentor had left those items for him.
Levi lifted the antique books and the sheepskin with trembling hands.
The torn sheepskin looked like a map, but was incomplete and torn at many places. From the material and the wear and tear of the skin, it was also another piece of antique.
Levi had no clue what that black token was for, but his eyes lit up when he flipped through the three books.
They were very valuable books!
Although his mentor had never acknowledged him as his disciple, he had allowed Levi to inherit his valuable knowledge and possessions.
I hope we will meet again somewhere!
Levi took away his mentor’s possessions and cleared off all evidence of their visit to the prison.
When he arrived home with Forlevia, he received a solid scolding from the family.
“How could you run around with Evie during this dangerous time? Are you asking for trouble?”
“What if Evie gets in harm’s way?”
Levi knew they were concerned for Forlevia, so he kept quiet and bore with their scolding.
While Levi was away, the family had been actively looking for a strong backer to protect Forlevia.
They had shortlisted a few renowned and influential parties and made initial contact with them.
Many impressive warriors had emerged in recent times, so to them, Wildefield was no longer up to standard.
“No, no. This would not do. The fighter is only a Rank Six!’
“That is right! Evie’s master must be at least a Rank Seven. Only a Rank Seven could protect her from harm and guarantee her a good future.”
The family was engaged in heated discussions, as the few they had shortlisted had leaders who were Rank Six in class.
They wanted a Rank Seven fighter as Forlevia’s master, but it wasn’t easy to find a reputable one.
Actually, after the Gem&Stone List came out, even a Rank Seven was nothing impressive.
“If only we could get one of those on the Gem List to take Evie as a disciple… Even CalaMaster, the lowest ranking among them would do! Evie would be guaranteed a bright future if we could do that!”
Levi wasn’t interested in the family discussion and went back into his room to study the books his mentor left for him.
Just then, Floyd sent him a message.
There was news on the dark web that dozens of warriors were heading to Erudia for Forlevia. They were either going to take her away or kill her.
“This matter is of utmost importance, Master! It is an emergency! They could have arrived in Erudia already!” Floyd was very worried.
“Don’t worry. We will get them all at one go once they arrive! Keep an eye on them for me!”
Levi was hoping they would gather and launch their attacks at the same time, as it would be too much of a hassle for him to have to deal with them individually.
In the meantime, over at the training base of Gamma Tech, Jared’s plan was proceeding smoothly.
He had already completed nine of his experiments in that short period of time.
He did them in the name of advancing the technological development of Erudia, and even Wynona, who was watching him closely, did not detect any abnormality.
When Jared returned to his room, he crossed out another item. In his plan chart, there remained just one last experiment to be done.
As soon as that last experiment was completed, he could proceed with his ultimate plan.
His eyes revealed a crazed look as he studied the data from his experiments.
“It won’t take long, Levi! Soon, you will see another side of me! I will crush you with my own hands! Even Zoey and the kid would not be spared!” Jared muttered to himself, a deranged look on his face.
Not only could he develop a superweapon like Deicide, with the aid of technology, he himself could also be turned into a God of Slaughter.
“Tomorrow is the day of the last experiment. That will also be the day I stun the world!” Jared smiled widely as he whispered to himself.
He glanced around the base and looked at his colleagues with pity. To him, they were tools of his and will be nothing but dead bodies soon.
Wynona shuddered when she saw the insane look in his eyes.
“Did you guys notice the scary look in Jared’s eyes?” she asked her colleagues.
