Chapter 2722 The Simplest Mission
He knew too well about Levi’s unrivaled power. Thus, he tried to enlighten them.
Even so, the others from the Lab of Gods turned a deaf ear to his warning. Having no fear in anything, they paid no heed to the advice.
“Well, it can’t be denied that Levi Garrison is an intelligent man. I heard he even managed to obtain a lot of first-hand intelligence this round. But it was actually due to the trap that we set up earlier. Initially, we planned to take Erudia down without declaring war against them. But now, we’ll rely solely on our mighty combat prowess! Regardless of how smart he is, he is still not on the same level as us. We can effortlessly ruin Erudia with our unrivaled weapons and fighters!” Lucifer boasted.
Moments later, they continued with their negotiation.
Needless to say, both the representatives from the Labs of Gods and Zarain excelled at negotiating.
They spent a long time pinpointing each others’ weaknesses, playing mind games, and sounding each other out.
Zarain wanted the Lab of Gods to attack Erudia in full force so both parties would end up sustaining terrible losses. With that, Zarain would be the one standing to benefit.
On the other hand, the latter hoped Zarain would not join hands with Erudia.
After negotiating for a few hours, both parties could finally wrap their head around each other’s minds.
Smythe smirked, sneering inwardly. The Lab of Gods requested us to surrender? Pfft! That is merely their wishful thinking! Zarain is fearless of them!
Gazing at the futuristic city, he snickered. “Do you think that you’re the only one who is able to build this type of so-called futuristic city? Haha!”
Black Hawk, who was alongside him, was stupefied. Ah! Could it be Zarain is also having something in mind? Hmm, I’m sure the higher-ups of our nation are keeping a lot of things under wraps!
Anyway, he knew that he would not have access to any confidential plans of the nation at his current level. He presumed Smythe could obtain first-hand information more easily due to his position as the head of Shield.
After Black Hawk and the others left, everyone from the Lab of Gods wore a look of utter disdain.
One of them snapped, “How ridiculous! How could he say we will sustain great loss because of Levi Garrison? How is it possible for us to lose against him now?”
“I don’t believe his words too! D*mn it! How could he be so confident? I had almost unleashed my wrath at him just now!” the person alongside him fumed.
To all of them, Levi was just a nobody.
“But one thing for sure, Levi Garrison is good at scheming. He might not be able to defeat us in a battle, but I’m worried that he’s manipulating something in the dark. Thus, we can’t let our guards down!” Mr. X explained patiently.
“Yeah, he’s a cunning fellow! Who knows, he’ll blindside us at any moment? Based on my findings, he’s the one who talked the whole world into backing Erudia up!” Another person saw eye to eye with him.
Meanwhile, a few others snorted. “Hmph! He’s apparently playing some underhanded tactics. No doubt, he will turn into a threat bigger than any super Fighters!”
After pondering for a while, they finally agreed that Levi was somewhat a threat.
“Since he’s a major threat to us, why don’t we finish him off right away?” someone pointed out.
“I used to think that it’s easy as pie to kill him, so I was not interested in doing so at that time. Now that he becomes a pain in the ass, it’s time for us to get rid of him!” another member commented confidently.
“You’re right! We can get the matter resolved by assassinating him, isn’t it?” another person suggested.
Everyone took the same stance and felt they should get rid of Levi right away.
“So who should be the one to carry out the assassination?” Mr. X asked warily.
“Just assign anyone. After all, he’s weak as a kitten!” someone replied insolently. Undoubtedly, they tended to underestimate Levi’s combat prowess!
After scanning them, Mr. X made up his mind and instructed, “Lucifer, I assign you to carry out this mission. To play safe, I’ll assign another three people to go with you. Jester King, Kraken, and Hell Witch, I want you to assist him. After all, you are his arch-enemies since you had tried to kill him years ago. I hope you won’t let me down this round!”
Lucifer stepped forward and reassured him, “Noted, Mr. X. I bet Levi Garrison will never expect that we will assassinate him again!”
“But I hope history won’t repeat itself! Don’t end up meeting your end together with him again. I’d be too ashamed to ask Dr. Erebus to save you lot again!” Mr. X reminded.
“Don’t worry. We have enhanced our combat prowess tremendously throughout these years. We’re as powerful as Gods!” The four of them were buoyed with confidence.
After tracking Levi down, they set off to assassinate him, hoping to accomplish the so-called simple mission.
