Chapter 2481 The Invincible Garrison Clan
“W-When did you come?” Eustace shakily asked.
He had been so wrapped up in his world of terror that he never noticed Humphrey coming.
Back in the day, that would be impossible.
If Humphrey were his enemy trying to assassinate him, Eustace would have been dead.
Humphrey then sighed. “I’ve already noticed something amiss with you. You were lying when you were explaining how Death Sword broke, right? There was an error in your logic. You know better than anyone else the material of Death Sword. It’s indestructible, and even you can’t break it. So, I’m guessing that someone broke your Death Sword.”
It was a guess that Humphrey felt that was almost impossible, but the keyword was almost.
Therefore, he had voiced out his guess.
To his surprise, Eustace nodded. “Yes. I wasn’t the one who broke Death Sword. I couldn’t have broken it, so someone else did.”
“What? Really?”
Humphrey was horror-stricken.
Someone else really broke it?
“He has a sword that’s hundreds and thousands of times stronger than my Death Sword, and he broke it so easily. However, that’s not the main point. The main point is his power. He had easily defeated me, and I doubt he has used even ten percent of his strength! As it turns out, he went to seek me out to test his sword,” Eustace said, telling Humphrey the tale of how Levi had sought him out to test his sword the other day.
Humphrey was startled.
W-What?
Eustace was defeated?
He could not think of anyone in the ancient Garrison clan who could defeat Eustace.
Yet, there was someone in the world who could easily defeat him.
“Do you know who the person who defeated me was?” Eustace asked.
“It… It can’t be Levi Garrison, can it?”
For reasons unbeknownst to him, that name had popped up in Humphrey’s mind.
“That’s right! That’s him.”
It was then realization struck Humphrey.
Everything seemed clear to him now.
Now, Eustace’s peculiar series of actions made sense to him.
It was not that he wanted to attack Donald and the others out of malicious intents, but that he was protecting the Garrison clan by doing that.
If not for his protection, the Garrison clan would have been annihilated.
In fact, the ancient Garrison clan might even be dragged in the mess.
It was a smart move, and Humphrey was impressed by how quick Eustace had been to react to it.
“I never thought that the ordinary Garrison clan would have such an outstanding member among them. He’s definitely made to lead even if he’s in the ancient Garrison clan. I can’t think of anyone who can be his match.”
Humphrey inhaled sharply.
Eustace nodded. “It’s only horrifying because we can’t figure out how powerful he is. Even I don’t know where the limits of his power lie. I… I’m a piece of trash. I’ve never been defeated before this, but the first defeat of mine is a horrendous one.”
“You don’t need to feel so upset. Think about it. Levi is of the Garrison clan’s bloodline too. It’s not like you’ve lost to an outsider; you’ve only lost to your descendants,” Humphrey consoled.
At that, Eustace’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! I’m his elder in the clan!”
In seconds, his mood was lifted.
“But if he’s so powerful, then why does no one know about him? Why are fools like Donald still trying to pick a bone with him?”
Humphrey tilted his head to the side and mulled over his words. “Maybe he has some kind of plan that makes him not want to tell anyone else about his true power yet. Well then, we’ll have to keep this a secret for him too. After all, we can’t ruin his plans.”
“Mm, definitely!”
“Since there’s such a mighty person among the junior Garrisons, won’t the Garrison clan be more powerful than The Cardinal Hall’s Eragon if he joins us?”
Eustace nodded fervently. “of course. He’ll have to join the ancient Garrison clan. That way, the Garrison clan will be invincible in the world!”
“We have to inform the ancient Garrison clan about someone like him being in the clan. We’ll have to have a meeting with all members of the clan, and we have to take him back into the clan with the most honorable homecoming.”
Eustace agreed with Humphrey’s suggestion. “We have to invite a man like him back into the clan regardless of the cost.”
