Forlevia’s disappearance shook Levi to his core, but everyone didn’t care. No, they didn’t know, so they kept yelling and screaming at him. If they weren’t his family, Levi would have offed them right there and then.
He glared at Kaiden and his team. “My daughter’s abducted! I don’t have time to bicker with you idiots!”
“She’s abducted?”
Everyone was shocked, but then Kaiden sneered. “Impossible. You mean they took her right under our noses? You think we’re stupid?”
Jabez glared at Levi arrogantly. “Yeah. We were all in the manor. She was just a hundred meters away from us. You mean to tell us they abducted her even under that condition? Get real.”
“They’re right. You’re underestimating us. The enemy couldn’t have taken her away with us there,” Zelda agreed.
Gerald looked at Levi coldly. “Nobody can take her under our watch. Not to mention we didn’t notice them either. You’re lying.”
“Yes. There’s only one possibility here. You hid the child and blamed someone else for it,” Kaiden accused Levi.
Levi was the last one to see Forlevia, and they knew he was the Crown King. With how powerful he was, it was easy to hide Forlevia away somewhere.
Levi sneered. “You know why they managed to take her away under your noses? Because you’re trash. All of you.”
“You little…” Gerald gritted his teeth, murder swelling up within him.
Everyone was adamant that Levi had hidden Forlevia, since the evidence made it clear, just like the massacre of Paradise Villa.
“I don’t have time for this. I’m going to search for Evie.” Levi ignored everyone and was about to leave.
But Gerald stopped him. “You think you can leave?”
“Get the f*ck out of my way or I’ll off you.” The murder in Levi’s eyes was almost palpable.
“Get away from him, Gerald!” Kaiden told Gerald, and he backed off reluctantly.
“Why did you stop me? I won’t lose to him. And I have you guys backing me up.”
Gerald didn’t think he’d lose to Levi, even though Levi was strong enough to make it into the Gem List. After all, he was the strongest out of the four, and he was much powerful than a Rank Seven fighter.
“We’d better not cross him. If we back him into a corner, who knows what he’ll do?” Kaiden explained.
“What should we do now?”
“Keep a close eye on him. As long as we follow him, he’ll lead us to the girl,” Kaiden ordered.
“Don’t worry. We’ll get him to hand Evie over. Zoey, make sure he hands Evie to you, got it?”
The Lopez and Black families were trying to make the fighters happy, but they refused the offer. “No need for that. We can handle this ourselves.”
And they left.
“Levi’s gonna act soon. There’s only one simple reason he refuses to let the girl leave with us. He doesn’t want her to grow up as a righteous fighter. That’s why he wants to raise her himself,” Kaiden analyzed.
“We need to keep an eye on him and take the girl back. This is important.”
“We need backup. Levi’s a tough nut to crack.”
“Okay. Let’s contact The Cardinal Hall and tell them what happened.”
…
After Levi took his leave, he quickly contacted his old subordinates and told them to look for Forlevia. He even sent his strongest henchmen out just to locate his missing daughter.
He was panicking, but the silver lining in this was that the enemy abducted Forlevia instead of killing her outright. Obviously, they had a plan of their own.
Maybe their real target is me. That thought assuaged his panic a little.
At the same time, Forlevia was taken to somewhere in Erudia. When she arrived at the spot, they appeared. More importantly, those people were…
