Chapter 2621 Know Who You Are Fighting
Naturally, that wasn’t an option for Levi.
An alternative was for him to attack directly.
The fighters I trained are supposed to join me to crush the Lab of Gods entirely. Maybe we can reveal ourselves before the intended time and bring those machines down instead.
No, that is not feasible. The best option is still to play defense.
Fortunately, Levi still had the Sacred Organization and the Ancient Garrison clan on his side.
Their combined resources wouldn’t be enough to build a protective wall all over Erudia.
However, it should be sufficient to protect a few of the country’s islands.
I’ll just rescue as many people as possible. What else can I do? All that’s left is for me to try my best.
Still, Levi wanted to talk to the Divine Brigadier and figure out what the latter was thinking. Perhaps there was some way for them to join forces or something.
On the other side.
The Senior Disciple of the previous Dark Emperor had returned to Erudia after learning what the Lab of Gods was planning.
He went to the Carigrey Academy.
When the Divine Brigadier saw him, the former jumped in surprise.
His mind was blown upon realizing that the Senior Disciple was his own son.
“All I want is to know is the true identity of the current Dark Emperor, who is also the murderer who killed my mother.
“Tell me everything! Who is he? Who killed my mother?
“Things can no longer be turned around, so there is no point in lying anymore. Naturally, it’ll not be a difficult feat for you to lie to me, anyway. You’ve never regarded me as your son, after all.”
The previous Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple was demanding an answer from the Divine Brigadier.
The former was an intelligent man.
He knew that his words would put the pressure on the Divine Brigadier.
Those words tugged at the deepest part of the latter’s heart.
Two important people hung in the line. One of them was his junior in the martial arts school, while the other was his son.
His junior was the one who murdered his wife, but the man standing in front of him was his own flesh and blood.
The Senior Disciple’s emergence was not what the Divine Brigadier expected.
As suspected, the Divine Brigadier trembled and looked troubled as soon as he heard what was said.
It wasn’t right for the Divine Brigadier to say anything, but he couldn’t keep everything a secret either.
“Why are you hesitating? Do you have something to do with my mother’s death as well?” demanded the Senior Disciple.
His words stabbed the Divine Brigadier’s heart.
“No, I didn’t even know that it happened. I was in solitary training at that time, and she was already… gone when I return,” replied the Divine Brigadier.
“Then tell me who it is!”
The previous Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple suddenly raised his voice.
The Divine Brigadier was in pain when he said, “I can’t tell you. It won’t do you any good, and you won’t be able to exact revenge, so stop asking about it.”
“I want justice for my mother, even if it means I will die,” insisted the previous Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple.
“I am the culprit. What are you going to do about it?”
The Divine Brigadier was still struggling to answer when a figure showed up out of nowhere.
It was Levi, who had just returned.
He had long known about how the previous Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple had been investigating the Sacred Organization from behind the scenes.
That was why the former knew that the latter was somehow connected to the Lab of Gods.
I didn’t think he’d come and demand an answer from the Divine Brigadier… This may turn out to be a good thing for me.
“You…”
The Senior Disciple was shaken to the core when he saw Levi showing up as the Dark Emperor.
The former kept stumbling backward.
“I thought you want to know who I am. Come then. Follow me,” said Levi.
He stepped forward and invited the young man to come along.
“Please, I beg of you. Please don’t kill him,” begged the Divine Brigadier quickly as he followed behind.
That was his son, after all.
Levi brought the previous Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple to a secluded area within Carigrey Academy.
The latter started trembling.
It was obvious he sensed the incredibly powerful aura oozing out of Levi.
Avenging his mom? That was not possible.
I only said all those words to get to the Divine Brigadier, and they were all lies. I don’t actually have the guts to do that.
That statement was especially true after meeting Levi.
Heaven could bless the Senior Disciple with ten times the bravery he was born with, and that still wouldn’t suffice.
“Out of courtesy to the Divine Brigadier, I won’t kill you. However, if you are going to exact your revenge, you should at least know who you are fighting.”
Slowly but surely, Levi took his mask off.
