Pfft!
One question was enough to make a confident Levi feel despondent instantly, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He did not know how Zoey’s condition was. His mother, daughter, and Mia were all in the hands of The Cardinal Hall.
It was a really challenging time for him.
“Don’t worry, Levi. Your family is doing very well at The Cardinal Hall. Although you are Fiery Demon’s heir, that doesn’t mean they will be seen in the same light! Your child and sister are exceptionally talented and have been accepted as our disciples. Forlevia, with her rare talent, will be groomed as a future leader. Nevertheless, I feel you should pay them a visit,” The Dark Lord slyly commented.
All those present were full of respect for The Cardinal Hall, praising them for being magnanimous toward the family of an infamous demon. His family should have been eliminated as well.
However, if one read between the lines, especially his last sentence, one would understand it was quite the opposite.
Urging Levi to visit his child and mother could have a double meaning. If taken literally, he was telling Levi The Cardinal Hall was taking good care of his family. The hidden meaning was that his family was in their hands and he had better do as he was told. It was in fact blackmail in disguise.
Your mother and your child are in our hands. Don’t you dare go against us! That was the real message they were trying to send across.
Levi could only helplessly reply, “Sure! I would like to see my mother and my child.”
He did not have a choice as he understood the veiled threat, and so, he had to submit to them.
Come what may, he could not risk the lives of his mother and child.
It was more important to see for himself that they were safe.
He planned to head to The Cardinal Hall first, hoping he would be able to save Forlevia, Emma, and Mia.
Before leaving with The Dark Lord and the other warriors from The Cardinal Hall, Levi secretly left hints for the Seven Fiends, so they would know his whereabouts.
Levi had many pressing matters to attend to at that moment.
Besides the safety of his family in The Cardinal Hall, Zoey was his other worry, but at least she had Wynona to protect her. Levi had already seen Wynona’s impressive combat abilities and knew other than the top three on the Gem List, no one else was her match.
His other grave concern was the second stage of action that Okano mentioned…
Too many urgent matters needed his attention, so he had to plan his moves carefully.
“Take Levi away! We will announce the findings of our investigations and decision another day,” The Dark Lord ordered, and Kaiden and his teammates stepped forward and took Levi away.
Tens of thousands of people witnessed his capture.
“Hahaha… Finally justice is done!”
“Fiery Demon’s heir is captured! This is the end of the evil powers!”
“Today is one of the proudest moments in Erudia’s history!”
The crowd broke into loud cheers and applause.
News of The Cardinal Hall’s success in apprehending Fiery Demon’s heir, who was ranked second on the Gem List, instantly became headline news in Erudia.
The news also created an uproar internationally.
Those who prided themselves as the righteous camp were especially excited and went into celebratory mode.
At every corner, one could see people celebrating the capture of Levi, the symbol of evil.
“Righteousness will always win! This is the destiny of those who do evil!”
“Turn yourself in! The Cardinal Hall will be coming after every one of you!”
“Haha! Robed Slayer can finish off Levi, so what are the rest of the cult members to him? He can easily crush you like ants! You had better surrender.”
Everyone was taunting the Seven Fiends and their followers.
News of the fall of Levi was also warmly welcomed by Bruce and the top guys of Raysonia.
Bruce secretly brought back his loot from Erudia to Zarain, and Raysonia was getting ready to launch the second stage of their crazy plot.
Wynona knew the situation was deeply worrying, so she brought Zoey and Okano to an extremely secluded hiding place.
“What is wrong with you, Zoey?” she cried worriedly.
And suddenly, Zoey opened her eyes!
