Chapter 2971 Levi Is Selfish
That was the thought that popped into the head of someone who wielded incredible power and influence.
Instead of beating around the bush like how Hawen did, they planned to steal the resources directly.
Since Levi possessed abundant resources, who wouldn’t feel tempted to rob him?
Of course, they probably would not have come up with that idea if they knew what had happened in Hawen.
Despite the advantages of a bounty, it also had its disadvantages.
It exposed the fact about the resources in Levi’s possession, causing many to plot against him so that they could take them for their own.
Levi also had no clue that even those in Erudia were after his resources.
They were the people Levi met during the vortex at the South Pole, and they were from the Ecclesiastic Order.
The four of them met up with a few others somewhere in Erudia to discuss their plans.
“I can’t believe the mountain of resources Levi has. The magical herbs he owns are the good stuff. They’re all of the highest quality! Even the purity of the spiritual energy crystals is out of this world. They’re way better than the ones we usually use!” one of them remarked.
Someone else asked, “I wonder how he got all those resources. Are we really going to take it from him?”
“Come to think of it, isn’t he trying to get treatment for his daughter? If that’s the case, we could propose a trade with him. We’ll offer to help treat his daughter in exchange for his resources!” another piped up.
“But I heard that she was poisoned with Final Malice. It won’t be easy to create an antidote for that.”
“So what? The Ecclesiastic Order has the second volume of the Poison Handbook. With that, we can create an antidote for all poisons!”
If Levi knew the Ecclesiastic Order had taken an interest in him and Forlevia, he would have jumped for joy.
His trip to Hawen had not been a waste of time. Without having to give anything, he had doubled his resources and even gotten an ice bed.
That allayed his worries slightly.
The ice bed actually worked to seal her body temporarily from the effects of the poison. Nonetheless, I’d better continue to keep a close watch. That poison is no ordinary poison, and all this could merely be an illusion.
When word got out that Levi had fulfilled Hawen’s outrageous request, many flocked to the former to offer their assistance.
They recommended the expertise of talented individuals, suggested a myriad of solutions, and even brought magical medicine.
Unfortunately, many of their suggestions were of no use.
But that day, a crowd suddenly showed up because they had a bone to pick with Levi.
Shouting loudly, they caused quite a commotion.
When Dr. Erebus informed Levi about it, the latter instructed that they let the rowdy group in.
After the hundreds of people entered, they began yelling at Levi. “As Erudia’s Crown King, you’ve been unbelievably selfish! We’ve never seen someone as selfish as you! You’re undeserving of your title!”
Levi stared at them in utter confusion.
Me? Selfish? What’s going on? How was I selfish? As Erudia’s Crown King, I’ve devoted myself to serving the country. I’ve invested most of my time and energy and even risked my life! All with Erudia’s best interests at heart! Danger plagues my days, and I’ve knocked on death’s door countless times. Regardless of my duty to the country or my title of Crown King, my conscience is clear. The people should be deeply grateful for my protection over Erudia! I’m constantly making efforts to protect the nation, both seen and unseen. There were two recent attempts at causing harm to Erudia, and I was the one who thwarted them. Selfish? How? When have I ever acted selfishly? When have I ever betrayed the country for personal gain? It’s all lies! Complete and utter nonsense!
Levi faced the crowd and demanded loudly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you come here and start accusing me of being selfish? What right do you have to do so?”
“Levi Garrison, are you still in denial?” someone bellowed.
“Do you still think you’re worthy of your title? Do you think you’re worthy of the people of Erudia’s respect?”
“Have you seen the state Erudia is in now? What about you? What have you done? Do you even care about what is happening to Erudia?”
“If your behavior isn’t selfish, then what is? Do you still need to ask us what you’ve done? Shouldn’t you know it better than anyone else?”
