Chapter 2727 No Giving Up
Lucifer and his team were not back yet and did not dispatch any news to Diviniteria. Their friends back at Diviniteria were unsettled. Even Mr. X couldn’t stay calm and collected anymore.
He wasn’t too worried when they were late for a couple of hours, but to be delayed for five hours and not send any updates was simply not their usual style.
Looked like they had met with a mishap.
Soon, Diviniteria was rife with speculations and rumors.
“They can’t possibly have difficulty in dealing with Levi, can they?”
“Is Levi so powerful that the four of them could not finish him off?”
“How is that possible? Don’t we all know what Levi was capable of? Any one of them could have finished him off, let alone four of them working as a team!”
“Don’t tell me something was wrong in our intelligence gathering? Could it be that instead of the news we received that Levi was alone and unprotected, he was actually surrounded and guarded by many of his fighters?”
Someone threw up another possible scenario but was quickly shot down by another.
“That wouldn’t explain! Even if Levi had his fighters protecting him, it would not make any difference. Even if they were of Divine Brigadier’s caliber, they would not have been able to save Levi. Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken would have still been able to finish Levi off and escape unscathed!”
Everyone at Lab of God had unwavering faith in the capabilities of Jester King and his other three mates.
They had a pretty good idea of the abilities of the fighters of Erudia and knew it was impossible they could kill or trap the four elites from the Lab of Gods.
“Something else must have happened! Get someone to check it out this instant. See if there is news of Levi’s death, or if there are any unusual movements in Erudia!” Mr. X ordered.
The sophisticated intelligence network of Diviniteria went to work immediately, and within a few minutes, they came back with updates.
“That is strange! There is no unusual news coming from Erudia, and not a single change in their defense movement and deployment!”
That surprising news astounded everyone.
“What? Nothing? If something bad had happened to Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken, that news will definitely result in a huge uproar in Erudia. Yet you are telling us nothing unusual is detected in Erudia?”
Something was definitely amiss!
“Levi is still patrolling around Raysonia. Looks like he has not met Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken!”
Another update came in, and the news left everyone dumbfounded.
That meant Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken had mysteriously disappeared and did not head to Erudia nor went to confront Levi!
Lab of Gods’ intelligence department had tapped into all their channels, but none of them came back with any news of the four nor any leads that could point to where they could be.
As the four had tapped on Kraken’s superpowers and left for the mission via the underwater route, they left no detectable traces of their movement aboveground.
All the evidence pointed to only one possibility. After setting off for their mission, they had disappeared into the sea before they could reach Erudia or kill Levi.
It had been more than seven hours after their expected return, and they were still missing in action.
Mr. X was not about to give up on his four top subordinates, so he sent out more people to search on the open seas. Even if he could not find them alive, he would want to know what had happened to them.
“What about Levi?” someone asked.
After all, the four had set out to kill Levi, but he was still alive, so they could possibly gather some clues from him.
“That’s right! If we want to know whether their disappearance had anything to do with Levi, then we should send someone after Levi again! We can combine the mission to kill Levi with our search for Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken!” It was a great plan that could kill two birds with one stone.
“That’s right! Levi has to die! It would also be a good opportunity to find out if their disappearance had anything to do with him,” concurred Mr. X.
The next problem would be to identify the fighter to send on the new mission. The four who disappeared were highly skilled, so the next person had to be more powerful than them in order to successfully accomplish the mission and send back useful intelligence.
After glancing through the room, Mr. X’s gaze fell on someone standing in a corner.
He was fully covered in a black battle suit, and only his piercing dark eyes were visible.
The sight of him reminded one of the black hole. He had such an intense aura that one would involuntarily want to keep a distance from him for fear of suffocation.
