“I want to go home. I want to go home now!” The more Ryker uttered, the more frightened Jefferson had become. His first and only reaction was to request to leave immediately.
“Trash! You’re a useless piece of trash!” Ryker went ballistic.
Subsequently, he reported the incident to Jefferson’s father, who was the owner of Cryptic Stream Corporation.
As a result, his family was enraged by Jefferson’s behavior, especially his father who was extremely disappointed in Jefferson.
In such a critical moment like this, what Jefferson says about Levi is equivalent to misleading the public with untruth. He’s creating chaos and planting fear in others. I can’t let him come home. It’s best he stays in Erudia.
“I won’t return as there’s only one way to find out if Levi would appear.” Ryker smirked.
After that, there was pin-drop silence at the Lab of Gods. Ryker was patiently waiting for Levi’s arrival.
A few days went by, but nothing happened.
Ryker approached the devastated Jefferson and jeered at him, “Where’s Levi? I’ve been waiting for him for days. Why hasn’t he shown up yet? Is he still appearing in your dreams?”
Jefferson turned ghastly. “Don’t speak nonsense! I have a strong feeling that he will come soon. It was the same with Byron, Bruce’s brother. Levi kept an eye on him all the time.”
“Hahahaha…” Ryker and the rest guffawed at his warning.
“This is too funny! You’re saying that Levi resurrected? It’s either you’ve read too many fictional novels or watched too many movies. Why don’t you claim that Levi’s a legendary deity from Erudia? He will come soon? Great, come and show me some magic.” Ryker laughed boisterously.
The rest chimed in proudly, “If Levi’s alive, ask him to come after us! We’re going to wreak havoc in Erudia. If he has the guts, come get us then.”
“Ah… Oh… Argh!” Right then, a few people, including Jefferson who was sitting opposite Ryker, stared strangely behind the latter and shrieked at the top of their lungs as if they had just seen a ghost.
They started shaking like a leaf as they pointed in the same direction with trepidation. Their faces turned pale. After what seemed like an eternity, they choked out a few words, “Back… back… back…”
Jefferson tried to speak up, but to no avail.
Drenched in cold sweats, he mumbled like a mad man, “Oh… oh…”
“Hahaha…” Ryker and his men continued bursting out in laughter.
Gradually, they realized that something did not add up right. Did Jefferson see something? What’s behind us?
Slowly, Ryker and five others turned their heads to the back, only to jump out of their skins.
There’s someone standing behind us and it’s Levi!
Not one person from the Lab of Gods and Cryptic Stream Corporation could forget that face.
He’s alive? Indeed, that’s him! So, Jefferson was right all along?
“Be careful of what you wish for. Dreams do come true. Get it?” Levi’s voice rang in their ears.
At that instant, everyone’s blood ran cold, and they almost passed out.
“Did I tell you not to linger around Erudia?” Levi’s gaze fell on Jefferson.
“Uh…” Jefferson gasped.
“This is unbelievable! You’re not dead?” Ryker was still overwhelmed with disbelief.
“You’re absolutely correct. Also, I did all that.” Levi smiled smugly.
Within moments, the room was filled with corpses.
Shortly after, the news about the deaths of Ryker, Jefferson, and other high-rank officials from Cryptic Stream Corporation went viral.
A dark cloud was hanging over the Lab of Gods.
They seemed to be living under the supervision of the mysterious force, which was haunting them continuously.
Coincidentally, Zoey had completed her seclusion meditation the same day.
“What? Jefferson is dead? No way, I won’t allow anyone to take revenge on my behalf. I’ll do it personally. The vengeance is mine!” She looked away in a far direction.
Upon finishing her meditation, she was more confident of her own capabilities now. It’s time to avenge Levi.
