Chapter 2281 Who Did This
“Yes! He’s here to steal the technique book and serums!”
“Yeah! He knows his place in the new era! He knows he’s old news now, but he won’t go down without a fight. He wants to get back to the top, so that’s why he’s here. To take the best technique to power himself up and boost himself as soon as possible.”
“So that’s why you came here? To steal?”
Everyone started scolding Levi, thinking he was here to steal. Even the top brass thought the same thing after listening to the accusers.
Levi was acting strangely, and he was alone in the control room for one hour. Of course, they’d suspect him, and after Edmund told them what he thought Levi was up to, only then did they ‘realize’ what Levi had been doing.
He’s here to steal the technique to boost himself.
When they saw the box of serum Mia was holding, they realized what she was doing.
So she’s his spy.
However, unbeknownst to them, the serum Mia was holding was used to suppress the special element in Levi’s body. It was ignorance on their part, so they thought Mia was holding the serum to boost Levi’s power.
Everyone thought Levi was a thief, but Robed Slayer had a different opinion. He knew Levi more than most people, so he knew Levi wouldn’t steal. He was someone who’d rather die than lose his honor.
Even if he lost his glory, he would never do something as underhanded as stealing someone else’s fruit of labor. Besides, with how proud Levi was, he wouldn’t even practice the technique even if someone gave him as a gift. Hence, there was no way he’d steal.
Levi sneered. “You think I care about trash like that?”
But his attitude only made everyone laugh, especially Edmund and his lackeys.
“Trash? Well, this stuff is not the top, but it can easily make the top five. And you call this trash? Don’t make me laugh,” Edmund sneered.
Everyone was glaring at Levi as well. They wouldn’t take that comment lying down. Levi was insulting the company and their hard work after all.
“You call ourselves trash? Look at yourself. You’re weak and pathetic. You don’t have the right to call us trash, you scum.”
“You call this trash, but here you are, stealing the very thing you call trash.”
Levi scoffed, “I was not stealing this trash, you buffoons. I was looking at something else.”
Edmund looked at him and shook his head.
Those guys at The Manifest Court said the guy who broke Skyward Sword feels similar to Levi? How could it be? They are not alike.
Levi’s a thief, not a grandmaster. He’s a humiliation to us all.
“Fine, I’ll let you off the hook this time. You are the company’s founder, and you have a lot of friends here. But if you do it again, I won’t let you go that easily,” Edmund said coldly.
“You’re so generous, Sir. You’d even let him go after what he did?”
“I bet you’re really glad now, Levi. Why don’t you thank Sir?”
Everyone praised Edmund, but he looked at everyone and warned, “If this happens again, I’ll punish all of you. That’s the rule.”
But then, Levi saw Robed Slayer looking pale and bloody. He went up to Robed Slayer and asked, “Who did this?”
“I-I’m fine. I hurt myself during training,” Robed Slayer answered nervously. Of course, he wouldn’t say the truth.
But Levi saw through him and turned to look at Edmund. “He did it, didn’t he?”
Edmund admitted, “Yeah, I did it. He let you in, and that’s against the rules. So what if I taught him a little lesson?”
Their gazes met, and sparks flew.
