Chapter 2805 Lied To Levi
Zephyr heaved a sigh of relief after learning about the cause.
“Hopefully we’ll be able to harness the power of the spiritual ley line for generations to come!” Zephyr said.
We’ll keep this a secret as long as we live and take it to the grave! No one should ever find out about it!
“Crown King’s here,” someone announced Levi’s arrival.
Gary immediately kept the file away. “All right. Bring him in!”
Soon Levi arrived at the meeting room.
“What brought you here, Crown King?” Everyone was surprised to see him here.
Levi smiled. “I came over because I’ve nothing to do since someone has gone after the rest of the people from the Lab of Gods.”
He then took a sidelong glance at all five of them and noticed there was something off about their expression.
He smiled and asked, “It seems someone is still intrigued by the Atlantis project. Is that true?”
All of them were taken aback by the question they feared the most.
“I believe there must be other reasons the Atlantis project ended, right? Did all of you decide to stop the project because you had found or dug up something during excavation?” Levi asked.
He asked so casually as if he was not expecting an answer from them.
But the simple question had caused them to freak out instantly.
What a coincidence! What would he ask about it?
They exchanged glances and kept mum for a moment.
In the end, Craig explained, “The reason is simple. By right, we should have continued with the project but couldn’t because of the limitations of the technologies at that time.”
“Even with the technologies available today, excavating that place could still be challenging. Moreover, the place doesn’t seem to have any potential for further development.” Craig made this up to blindside Levi.
Since it was just a casual question, Levi did not pursue the topic further.
Had he paid more serious attention to this incident, he might have immediately departed for the base of the Atlantis project.
Nevertheless, the fact that they kept this a secret from Levi would eventually snowball into a bigger disaster in the future.
After Levi left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They were not afraid Levi might accidentally blurt out the secret.
They were afraid that they might arouse Levi’s curiosity. It would be disastrous had he decided to make a trip to the place.
“Thankfully, he didn’t ask anything about the Leviathans,” Zephyr said while tapping on his chest.
“But didn’t he say the Leviathans are not a concern? I’m sure he knows something about the Atlantis project. We mustn’t tell him the truth!” Craig said.
That was why he made up a story.
Meanwhile, Shield started keeping track of the number of hospital doctors in Zarain and its neighboring areas. They even noted down those who had retired and analyzed all the data about the medical field.
It was a herculean task.
They might have been clear about the direction of their statistical study, and they might have narrowed down their focus to a few designated areas, but Black Hawk and the others knew Dr. Erebus had been living in the city using a secret identity for decades or even centuries.
There was no way they could find him so easily, and no one could even find out any problem in his file!
It was not an easy task, as they had to go through the data patiently.
After tabulating the data, they found out that something was amiss with the seven to eighty thousand people in the sampling population.
Next, they would have to check all these people and find out about every detail of their lives, including their whereabouts, the things they bought, and their finances.
The special forces agents from Shield were experts in carrying out these investigations.
They had all the patience to dig out these personal details. Others would have given up on such a taxing task.
“Quick! Let’s not waste time! The boss has come to check on us again just now. I’ll get extra support if we need more manpower!” Black Hawk continuously exerted pressure on his subordinates.
