Chapter 2485 Almost Like Gods
That’s implausible.
Who in the world is Levi to be able to have Eustace personally come to invite him to join the clan?
It’s just impossible.
“Hurry and tell us what you were talking about earlier. Don’t pull our legs anymore.”
Naturally, Zoey and the others did not believe in his words.
“He’s telling you the truth. They were here to invite Levi back to the Garrison clan,” Queenie said abruptly.
“What?”
All froze in shock.
No one believed in it until Queenie herself told them that Levi was not lying.
Then, when they thought about how Eustace had insisted on a private talk, they realized the talk must have been related to the inner affairs of the Garrison clan.
Moreover, they must not have wanted outsiders to see them asking Levi to join their clan.
Queenie was allowed to stay because of her affiliation with The Cardinal Hall.
Finally, realization had struck them like a bolt from the blue.
Zoey then exchanged a glance with the others as a thought entered her head.
The ancient Garrison clan must want Levi to return to the clan because of Evie.
Although Eustace said that he’s not afraid of The Cardinal Hall and Eragon, everyone knew that the ancient Garrison clan still dared not engage in a direct confrontation with them.
After all, Eragon was made up of several groups of people.
A mere Garrison clan was no match for the combined power of Eragon.
That was why they did not dare to make a move against them at all, nor did they dare to snatch Forlevia from the hands of The Cardinal Hall.
They wanted to get the girl through legal means instead.
Hence, they would have to establish a relationship with Levi first.
As long as Levi joined the ancient Garrison clan, then it was official that Forlevia was part of the ancient Garrison clan as well.
That way, the ancient Garrison clan would be able to take Forlevia in and train her instead.
Therefore, Forlevia was the reason for them to invite Levi to join the clan.
Upon realizing what was going on, the others stopped pestering Levi for answers.
“It’s best that you agree to it. It’ll be good for both you and Evie. As for where Evie belongs, I think you should get the Garrison clan to discuss it with The Cardinal Hall instead. You have to stay out of this,” Zoey said.
She did not wish any harm to befall Levi and Forlevia.
The Garrison clan was far too strong.
Thus, it was not a bad idea for Levi and Forlevia to join them.
“We’ll see. I’ll join them if they can agree to my terms,” Levi said.
“Your terms? How dare of you to do that? Aren’t you afraid of losing your life?” Zoey questioned.
Then, she looked at Queenie and continued, “If Ms. Birmingham is here, then I’m sure that it was a three-way discussion. I’m more reassured if that’s the case. Well, I won’t intervene then.”
In the meantime, Eustace and Humphrey had gone to the Garrison clan in Oakland City.
On their way there, they encountered the people from the ancient Garrison clan.
There were over a hundred of them there, and they were all council members of the clan.
Some elders, who had been living in seclusion for years, were even there.
Those were people to who even Eustace had to pay utmost respect.
They were all too excited after hearing that there was a powerful being among the younger Garrisons, so they had all shown up and wanted to welcome Levi.
The person leading the group was a solemn old man with a commanding presence.
That man was the head of the ancient Garrison clan—Gabriel Garrison.
There was no one else like him.
He was the man who had thrown Eustace into Prison of Darkness back then.
He was the only one who had control over Eustace.
Of course, there were also other elders around, including Phanuel Garrison, Kushiel Garrison, and Uriel Garrison.
Together, they were the four guardians of the ancient Garrison clan.
The council members of the Garrison clan were basically all gathered there.
Humphrey’s ranking in the clan was much lower than these people’s.
Their names all had something in common—their names had sacred connotations to them.
It meant that they were almost on par with gods.
“Huh? Why are the two of you back?” Gabriel could not help but ask when he saw Eustace and Humphrey.
“Nothing happened. Levi has listed his terms, but we can’t agree to them,” Eustace quietly said.
Some let out a chuckle before asking, “There are terms that you can’t agree to? I’d like to know what they are.”
“Levi wants to take control of the ancient Garrison clan and all the other Garrison clans in the world. He wants to take over your role,” Eustace said to Gabriel.
The moment those words went beyond his lips, everyone fell silent.
