“We’re counting on you again.” Everyone looked at the man in the corner. He was the one who impersonated Levi during the massacre at Paradise Villa.
“Fine,” the man answered weakly.
“Right. Let’s finish this ASAP.”
They were coming up with a plan that would shake the entire nation. At the same time, Jared was also going to start with his own plan as well.
Since he had confirmed that Levi wasn’t keeping an eye on him, he could do whatever he wanted. “Soon I’ll have authorization for Lab Number One. It’ll be the perfect place for my perfect experiment.” Jared laughed maniacally.
He wanted to finish his experiment in Lab Number Two, but that was crushed by Levi and Wynona. Thanks to that, Jared had a change of mind. Now, he wanted to complete his crazy plan using Lab Number One.
Lab Number One was the best laboratory in the training base. If Jared could use it to his advantage, it’d raise the chances of his experiment’s success.
Danger was fast approaching, and quietly too. However, that did not escape Levi. He was a sharp man, so he knew the calmer it was, the worse the storm would be.
It’s too quiet. Something big’s gonna happen. Levi even double-checked everywhere to see if he missed anything, but he got nothing.
He didn’t think much about the case with Forlevia though, since he thought everyone wouldn’t do anything to her thanks to his immense strength.
On one fine day, Levi was talking with the West Sky Lord about the recent happenings when someone from The Cardinal Hall came for him.
Their visit surprised Levi, of course. The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were the best defenders of the nation, and they held all the riches and secrets of the country as well. He wondered why they were here for him.
“Do you need anything?” Levi asked.
The four from The Cardinal Hall were glaring at Levi warily. Eventually, Kaiden stepped up. “The Crown King, I assume? We’re here for one simple thing—your child.”
Zelda explained, “We’ve decided to train your child, so we’re here to see if she’s up for it.”
“No need for that. I can train her myself.”
The refusal upset Kaiden and his team, but it worried them as well. If they couldn’t personally train Forlevia, she might be a threat to them eventually.
But before anyone could say anything, someone bellowed, “Why not? That’s the best place Evie could be.”
The Lopez and Black families heard what happened, so they came over angrily, glaring at Levi.
Cora and the others quickly came up to Kaiden and his team. “You’re finally here! At long last.”
The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were no secret as of current. Everyone knew how powerful they were, so they wanted Forlevia to join the organizations.
However, they weren’t privileged enough to get in touch with either organization. That was why they were over the moon to see The Cardinal Hall paying them a visit.
“We’re here for the child. Where is she?” Zelda asked.
“Zoey, get Evie here.”
A short while later, Zoey came back with Forlevia, and the people form The Cardinal Hall started testing Forlevia’s talent.
The Cardinal Hall had a way they could use to test a person’s talent. Most of the time, those who had the talent to cultivate would be split into nine classes.
A fourth or fifth class talent would be a rare find, while a sixth or seventh class would be an epic cultivator. An eighth class talent would be even rarer than that, sometimes only appearing once in a millennium.
Even though they knew Forlevia was a talented cultivator, nothing prepared them for what they were about to see.
To everyone’s shock, Forlevia was a ninth class talent, the highest class of talented cultivator in the world.
In other words, The Manifest Court was right. They didn’t exaggerate Forlevia’s talent. In fact, they might have underestimated her. Forlevia’s talent alone was enough to snag a spot on the Stone List.
Everyone thought she was only a seventh class talent at most, but she blew everyone’s expectations.
“Right, I’m taking this child back with me. She’ll be trained under The Cardinal Hall.”
Kaiden and his team wanted to see more before they made any calls, but after they realized Forlevia’s latent talent, he knew nobody would object his decision.
“I object.”
