The Dark Lord did not bring Levi back to The Cardinal Hall. Instead, he was taken to a villa in the outskirt of Oakland City.
The place looked like a vacation house, but in actual fact, it was one of the secret bases of The Cardinal Hall.
Housed in the basement of the villa was their intelligence section, staffed by many highly skilled warriors. There was also a prison in there.
Levi was blindfolded when they transported him, and when the blindfold was removed, he found himself in a prison.
It was a carefully designed, highly secured prison that was almost impossible to get out of.
He could forget about jail breaking.
“I thought you are bringing me to my family. Where are they?” he asked.
“Don’t forget you are now the most wanted prisoner in The Cardinal Hall. Do you think you can make demands and give orders?”
“If you stay good, we will not only let you meet your daughter and mother, but we will also ensure they have a bright future and a comfortable life.”
Levi was not so gullible as to think they would honor their promise. However, he had to play along with them as he did not know where The Cardinal Hall was, so even if he managed to fight his way out, he would not be able to find his family. More likely, he would place them in greater danger.
The only thing he could do was to humor them until he had a chance to meet his family.
“Fine, I will do as you command.” That was the only way forward for him.
“Lock him up!” The Dark Lord ordered.
In a flash, nine chains as thick as one’s arm were brought in, and it took almost a hundred men to carry them in.
Those nine chains were fastened onto Levi, and everyone let out a sigh of relief after that was done.
“He would not have expected that to be the famous Dragon Chain of The Cardinal Hall!”
“Yes, this is the legendary chain that could restrain a dragon! It may be a myth, but it is true that to date, no one had been able to break out of it!”
Yes, it was the legendary Dragon Chain that they used on Levi.
Based on The Manifest Court’s records, to date, the Dragon Chain had been used on seventy-eight occasions.
And of the seventy-eight prisoners it was used on, none of them managed to break free from it. What made it more impressive was that all those prisoners were super strong warriors.
As such, there was a belief within The Cardinal Hall that the Dragon Chain could restrain a real dragon, let alone a mere human.
Once the Dragon Chain was fastened on, no one could dream of breaking free.
That was the sinister plan of The Inferno. They had no intention of killing Levi, even though he was the biggest demon ever to exist.
He was of more value to them alive than dead, so locking him up would serve their interest better.
They planned to find out more about Cyrus and his secrets from Levi, such as where did Cyrus go, what was the secret to his skills, et cetera.
With sufficient information, they could work backward and identify Cyrus’ weaknesses so they could deal with him.
As such, they had absolutely no wish to kill Levi.
The Dragon Chain was created for people like Levi. Once he was restrained by the Dragon Chain, he would no longer pose any threat to The Cardinal Hall.
Huh?
It did not take long for Levi to sense something was wrong. The nine chains were slowly penetrating into his flesh and went deep in to lock onto his bones!
This is…? Oh no!
Levi knew things weren’t to his advantage, but he had to go through it to achieve his aim.
The special feature about the Dragon Chain was that it locked into one’s flesh and onto one’s bones. On top of that, spells had been cast onto the chains and it was infused with supernatural powers to further strengthen the already strong material. In short, all means had been deployed to make it unbreakable.
“So, can I meet my family now?” Levi asked.
“Don’t worry. You will soon be able to meet them!” Kaiden and his team teased.
Levi was at their mercy, and they could do anything they want to him. However, they did not want to create any animosity between them, as they needed his cooperation in order to get privy information on Cyrus.
In order to calm him, they would let him meet his family.
After Levi was captured by The Cardinal Hall, everyone had written him off as dead.
The Raysonia gang and Bruce were among those most excited by the outcome.
“Start stage two of our plan now!” The Raysonians were finally ready to spring into action.
