Chapter 2397 You Have To Make The First Move
The divine brigadier’s aura shot up into the heavens and threatened to rip it apart. It didn’t take too long for the pill to fully heal him and raise his strength to unimaginable heights.
He was just like a living, breathing mountain right now. Every step he took rumbled the earth and shook the heavens. When he dispelled the air wall, the pressure coming off him slowly poured down on The Cardinal Hall.
Everyone felt it, of course, and it suffocated them.
“What power! That’s the divine brigadier for you. That’s the strongest man in the world.”
“He probably didn’t even do anything. All he had to do is just stand there and Levi’s already learned his lesson. I bet he knows he got himself into big trouble now.”
“Where’s Levi? Bet he ran away with his tail between his legs. He probably won’t come ever again.”
“Dammit, he got off easy. I really wanted to kill him.”
…
The divine brigadier heard what they were talking about, and he coughed violently, but he didn’t stop walking away from the scene.
At the same time, Queenie told Edmund everything that happened back at North Hampton. She didn’t manage to tell him earlier since Levi showed up too suddenly, but now she had the time to talk about it.
“What? Father wants to marry you off to Levi? Nonsense!” Edmund was enraged. “That piece of trash is unworthy of you! He’s just a baby making machine at best, and he already has a family of his own! I won’t agree to this!”
Queenie was touched that Edmund would go so far as to defend her. “Yeah, he’s a lousy match for me. Even if he’s single, he’s not worthy of my hand in marriage.”
Edmund nodded. “Yes, you’re right! You’re way out of his league.”
But then the divine brigadier made his entrance and barked, “It’s the other way around, you fool! He’s the one way out of Queenie’s league.”
Since he had just taken the pills, the divine brigadier’s aura was at its peak, and his pressure was overwhelming. Like what was mentioned above, he was a walking mountain, whose mere presence was enough to suffocate anyone who was near enough to feel it.
Everyone was shocked when they felt the pressure, but Edmund and Queenie looked proud. After all, this walking mountain was none other than their father.
Edmund was especially excited. “Congratulations on perfecting your new technique, Father. I can feel myself getting crushed just from your pressure alone.”
Queenie smiled. “Your power is terrifying, Father. There’s nobody in this world who can stand up to you now.”
“I—” The divine brigadier was not delighted because he was praised. Instead, he was annoyed, and his face twitched.
He took two pills in such a short span of time, and those pills were worth a wealthy nation each. If even a single one appeared on an auction, the whole world would launch a large-scale war just to get it.
Queenie noticed that her father’s face was caked with blood, so she asked, “Did you fight with Levi, father?”
“What? Father, did you kill him?” Edmund asked.
The divine brigadier shot Edmund a sharp glare. Can you just shut up? F*ck, can someone stitch this idiot’s mouth up?
If I am actually strong enough to kill Levi, I can rule the goddamn nation and wipe out all the dissenters. But I can’t. That’s why I’m still here.
The divine brigadier skipped that topic and told Queenie, “My child, I’ve laid out the path for you. All that’s left is for you to fight for your happiness.”
Queenie was confused. “What are you talking about, Father?”
The divine brigadier answered, “You’ll have to charm Levi and make him marry you. It’s all in your hands now. I’ve done all I can.”
If he interfered with the matter any further, he had no doubt Levi would come and kill him off once and for all. Now all he could do was to put his trust in Queenie.
“What? You want me to charm him?”
Queenie and Edmund couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
