Chapter 2227 Still The Strongest Of The Era
His words caused everyone else to grimace before glaring at him.
They were clearly blaming him for being brutally honest.
Indeed, they all had the same thought—Levi hadn’t progressed at all during the past three years!
That was what they thought, but none of them dared to say that.
Why did Floyd say that out loud? He’s our master, after all. Though there’s no rule stating that a disciple can’t be stronger than his master, we still need to respect him!
The constant reminders would sound like they were insulting Levi.
Kirin and the others were incredibly nervous, for they had explained the same thing to Levi earlier.
Is Floyd going to repeat the same thing all over again?
By now, Floyd realized how blunt he was.
After rising through the ranks, there was no need for him to remain in the dark. He was straightforward and ended up blurting his honest thoughts.
Everyone present gave Levi anxious stares, for he was still their master!
Levi merely smiled. “You think you’re stronger than me, right?”
“No, Master. That wasn’t what I meant. You’re always the strongest to me!” Floyd insisted.
“Yes, you’re the strongest man in our heart!” everyone else chimed in.
Of course, they were lying through their teeth.
It was a show of respect for their master.
In fact, they assumed Levi was weaker than them.
“Master, don’t worry. You can be proud of us. We can take over your mission!” Floyd and the rest exclaimed.
Without warning, Levi revealed, “I’ll be honest with you. Three years ago, I was at the top. Now, I’m still at the peak.”
Their expressions changed the moment they heard his announcement.
However, they said nothing as the same thought flashed across their minds.
Levi’s just too stubborn to admit that he’s weaker than his disciples. He doesn’t want to embarrass himself.
The elders hiding in the shadows shook their heads. “I think he is neither stubborn nor too proud. He seriously believes that he’s still the strongest! Perhaps he is still clueless as to how strong and cruel the new era is. He just doesn’t know his place!”
As no one uttered a word, Levi smiled wryly and spun around to leave.
Before the rest could go after him, Kirin stopped them. “Let him have a moment alone! You went overboard earlier. Sometimes, there’s no need to be too blunt. You must’ve hurt his feelings! Do you think he doesn’t know his place? That he isn’t as strong as us?”
Phoenix added angrily, “Yes! It’s hard for him to accept the truth for now. You’d feel the same too if you were in his place! Besides, he used to be the top fighter back then. Now that he’s weaker than us, it’s normal for him to feel upset. How could you continue to insult him?”
Floyd suggested, “It was my fault. But we can help him by protecting him and his family. That way we can help to provide him with some time and chance to improve his prowess!”
“That sounds like a good idea.”
“Floyd’s suggestion sounds great. No matter what, we have the utmost respect for him. Let’s all think of ways to improve the situation for his sake!”
“Remember, stop talking nonsense. Look at how he has left because he felt embarrassed!”
They thought that Levi’s claim that he was still at the peak was just a lie to salvage his pride.
