“Go on then. We didn’t make a mistake, and we will not accept the false accusations. Burn us if you must.”
The harder they fought, the more they infuriated everyone else.
They were top disciples in honorable clans, but they were going all out to defend a despicable being.
How can we possibly not be angry at them?
“We will give you one last chance. Do you admit to being wrong?” roared the angry community.
Josephine had her head up high and shouted at the people, “I’ve never committed any sins!”
“That’s right! All of you have been conned. Levi Garrison can’t have been the Fiery Demon’s heir. We couldn’t have survived if he is,” chimed in Yasmin.
“Such insolence! There is no point in talking to them anymore. Burn them!” ordered the leader.
Someone set the fire ablaze immediately after!
Voom!
The smoke instantly rolled upwards…
“They have been brainwashed and assimilated with Levi Garrison. Only the flames can cleanse their sins now,” murmured Trenton.
“I am pretty sure you guys are behaving way more like sinners,” said someone from a distance.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, a gust of intense wind swept over and actually extinguished the overwhelming flames.
A figure slowly descended from some distance away.
Levi Garrison!
Ecstasy donned Josephine and Yasmin’s faces when they saw Levi there. In fact, they were so excited that they almost screamed aloud.
A hint of admiration burned in their hearts as well.
The hero they looked up to had shown up to rescue them.
“What? It’s Levi Garrison!”
The mere mention of his name was enough to instill fear and got everyone to panic so much that the place turned chaotic.
Even the Cardinal Hall couldn’t handle Levi, so what were the chances that they’d actually win a battle against him?
It only took a moment for thousands of people to stare fearfully at Levi.
Trenton was furious, but more than that, he was frightened because he knew just how strong Levi was.
Levi walked to Josephine and Yasmin before saying, “You can get up. Who was it that demanded the two of you to kneel?”
His words and actions further angered the crowd.
“So that’s it, huh? You two despicable traitors! You’ve turned your backs on your beliefs and become evil.
“Starting today, you are both disowned by the family. You two are our greatest shame!”
To everybody’s surprise, Levi chuckled at that and pointed out, “You guys claim that they are despicable and evil, but your behavior suggests that you are the greatest evil there is.
“You accused your own people before learning the truth! And burning them alive? How cruel can you get? Who gave you the authority or the right to do so?”
“We…”
A few of them wanted to complain, but they were scared silent when they saw the cruelty in Levi’s eyes.
“This is an internal matter within our family, and as an outsider, you have no right to butt in. How we treat them is none of your business!” growled an elderly woman.
“Awh, I don’t get to butt in?” challenged Levi, “This may be an internal matter within your family, but you are still on Erudia’s land. Every single one of you is an Erudian, and you can’t deny that you must obey the law. Given how cruel you are toward your own family, it’s easy to imagine just how much worse you are to others, you monsters!”
“You…!”
Levi truly touched everybody’s nerve.
“That may be right, but Erudia’s rules have nothing to do with you, and you can’t enforce its laws. You are Erudia’s enemy and a demon! What right do you have to reprimand us?”
“Yeah, and I can’t believe you have the audacity to call us evil or talk to us about obeying Erudia’s rules. Have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror? You’re the Fiery Demon’s heir! You and your men have done countless cruel and despicable sh*ts!”
“That’s right. You have no right to say anything. What? Do you fancy yourself as a hero like the Crown King?”
Trenton and the others were quick to retaliate and shout at Levi.
Their stance suggested that they wanted to skin Levi alive.
“We’ll admit that we can’t beat you, even if we gang up together. Still, you can forget about us ever bowing to you, you f*cking big demon!”
Levi grinned. He looked like he wasn’t angry at all.
Josephine and Yasmin, on the other hand, were nervous. They wanted to defend Levi.
Just then, a loud noise came from right outside…
