The reason Levi lost to Zoey was that he wanted to see how powerful she was.
He could have used his skills and speed to avoid her blows and escaped unharmed. Moreover, if he had executed Forbidden Technique, Zoey would be doomed.
Although Wynona had urged him to unleash his full power, he had held back. After all, Zoey was his wife, so how could he bear to hit her with his full force?
Anyone who truly knew his abilities would know he could not have lost unless he did it on purpose.
Indeed, he was injured, but the reason for the injuries was different.
Huh?
The crowd gathered was puzzled by his words and attitude. They could not comprehend how someone so gravely injured could be so arrogant as to belittle all of them.
“Drop this arrogant act! You are a loser and had lost to Robed Slayer! You are a nobody now!”
“That’s right! Don’t forget you are injured. Even if you are not injured, Robed Slayer could easily crush you again. You will still have to bow.”
“Let me give you a piece of advice. Come with us to The Cardinal Hall. Don’t make a fuss, and you will be spared from more sufferings.”
Levi struggled to sit up and looked at the crowd with disdain.
“You are not thinking you can escape from so many of us, are you?”
“Stop daydreaming!”
All the top warriors of The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were gathered in Oakland City, so there was no way Levi could successfully flee from them.
“Let’s keep that aside. I have something to tell all of you!” Levi suddenly changed the subject.
“Quit your blabber. Are you trying to stall for time?” Kaiden and his team were getting impatient.
“Hold on. Let him speak!” A voice boomed from the crowd, and Kaiden and his team immediately stepped aside respectfully.
Kaiden and his teammates were from The Inferno, which was in charge of handling emergencies and gathering intelligence. In short, they were in charge of the daily operations of The Cardinal Hall.
The person who spoke was the deputy leader of The Inferno, codenamed The Dark Lord.
Compared to Kaiden and his team, he was much higher up in the hierarchy of The Inferno, and his wish was their command.
“Speak! I would like to hear what you have to say!” The Dark Lord stared at Levi and said.
“What I wanted to say is that this is part of Raysonia’s conspiracy. They had already brought forward their second stage of action! If you waste your attention and time on me, it would bring disaster to Erudia and our martial arts world!”
Levi proceeded to tell them everything he knew about Raysonia’s plot.
“As the most powerful organization in Erudia, The Cardinal Hall should look into this matter!” he urged.
“Continue your tall tale!”
“Yeah! Let’s see what other lies you can come up with. I never expect you would try to wriggle out of this in such a manner. You are such a disappointment!”
Although Levi shared everything he knew and all the facts he gave were logical, not many people were willing to believe him. They felt he was finding excuses to get himself out of trouble.
Even The Dark Lord was hesitant to believe him.
“I have proof to back me up! I captured one of the key members of the Raysonia gang. You can interrogate and find out from him directly. I do not want a confrontation with you now. Let me bring him here, and the truth will be revealed.”
Upon hearing that, everyone laughed.
“Oh Levi, are you taking us as fools? Let you go so you can bring him? Do you think that is possible?”
“That’s right! This rascal is taking us for a ride! Tie him up!”
The crowd was in an uproar, and none of them noticed a man had quietly sneaked away from the scene.
It was Ghost Samurai!
He had sneakily joined in the crowd and when he heard Levi had hidden Okano in another location, he left immediately.
“Forget it! I am wasting my breath!” Levi said as he gradually stood up from the ground. He knew he had to fight his way out after all.
“What? You are still thinking of fighting? Don’t you want to see your child, Levi?”
