“What? His consciousness is still there? It means that he is still alive! That’s wonderful!”
Feeling jubilant, Bruce waved his hands in the air.
In fact, he even poured a glass of whiskey to celebrate.
With Jared still around, both his and Zarain’s power would increase significantly.
“Send a group of men to find Mr. Schmidt at once. Determine his condition and provide assistance when necessary,” Bruce instructed.
“Understood!”
A moment later, he changed topics immediately, “By the way, are there any updates from all the different teams? Look for him! We have to find him before they realize what we’re up to. Once Levi has been dealt with, The Cardinal Hall will turn their attention to us!”
The smile on Bruce’s face disappeared.
Evidently, their mission in Erudia was more important than Jared.
“Mr. Johnston, do you need us to rescue your brother?” someone asked.
“Not at the moment. You will inadvertently alert them if you do. Once Levi is dead, we will be able to free him anytime.”
Bruce already had a plan in mind.
“All right. We’ll try to locate Mr. Schmidt first.”
Using their equipment, the few technical specialists began scanning for Jared’s presence.
A few minutes later, someone remarked in surprise, “Oh? Why did we lose the signal of his consciousness? Did something happen?”
Even Bruce was jolted.
“What? Did you lose the signal? Continue searching! We need to confirm if Jared is still alive!”
Everyone was shocked by the development.
Jared consciousness was there for a second and disappeared in the next.
Therefore, no one was sure about what was going on.
Meanwhile, inside a private hospital in Oakland City…
Zoey was holding her head and screaming. If not for Wynona restraining her, she would have fallen off her bed.
“Again?”
Wynona was dumbfounded.
Ten minutes earlier, the same thing had happened to Zoey without warning.
Just after she had managed to calm down, another attack followed.
This time, Zoey reacted more hysterically than before.
In the end, she simply fell unconscious from the pain, causing Wynona to call for the doctor.
Despite having examined her brain nerves again, the doctor didn’t find anything wrong and advised her to rest.
Whenever it was necessary, he would inject her with medication that would calm her down.
However, the same phenomenon kept repeating itself.
Both Wynona and Zoey knew something was wrong but couldn’t tell what it was.
They had to find a Miracle doctor to examine Zoey.
Hence, Wynona managed to contact one via her contacts.
Meanwhile, the Raysonians, who were behind everything, were busy plotting still.
They were at the final stages of their scheme.
“We need to accelerate the plan by bringing forward the second stage!”
“Firstly, Levi knows that someone is masquerading him and has even crossed swords with the impostor. Also, he knows of our existence and is closely watching us.
“Secondly, The Cardinal Hall has issued The Cardinal Order. Hence, Levi would soon be killed, and they would turn their attention to us very quickly! Therefore, we have to work faster amidst this chaos.”
“Understood! The plan will be brought forward at once!”
It was true that the moment The Cardinal Order was issued, everyone’s attention was focused on Levi while everything else was being neglected.
Therefore, as long as anyone could ascertain Levi’s location, elite fighters would gather to eradicate him.
Once TCO was sent out, Robed Slayer, who was now relegated to third place from second on the Gem List, emerged.
Back then, Levi had torn up his clothes which was equivalent to spitting in his face.
Obviously, Levi had no respect for him at all.
Hence, Robed Slayer had both personal and professional reasons to meet Levi.
The man who dominated an entire era was on his way.
Meanwhile, Levi returned to the Gamma Tech training base.
“Hmm? Zoey’s scent?”
Levi was delighted as he was certain Zoey had come by the place.
Suddenly, Levi bellowed, “Who is it?”
