Chapter 2972 I Make My Own Decisions
Levi grew increasingly puzzled as they continued to rain a barrage of criticism on him.
What did I do? Why are they acting like they’ve gone crazy and attacking me like this?
Furious, Levi retorted, “What did I do that was so selfish? Please explain what I’ve done!”
The crowd’s leader stepped forward and asked, “Levi Garrison, isn’t it true that you have plenty of resources? Don’t you have heaps of magical herbs and spiritual energy crystals? Haven’t you been giving them away in buckets?”
Levi nodded. “That’s true. But this matter has never been kept a secret. Doesn’t everyone already know about it? Indeed, I have plenty of resources. Much more than you could ever imagine.”
Since the information was not a secret, he admitted to it readily.
“Exactly. You have plenty of resources, but have you ever given Erudia any magical herbs? Have you given the country a single piece of spiritual energy crystal? The answer to that is ‘no’!” Erudia has never gotten anything!” the leader answered angrily.
“He’s right! You’ve never shared any of your resources with Erudia! We had pinned our hopes on you, thinking you’d use your resources to help Erudia rise. However, our patience has been for naught. That’s why we’ve come straight to you!” another person added.
Those words stirred up the crowd’s rage, and they erupted into noisy protests.
Realization dawned on Levi.
He finally understood why everyone was so upset and called him selfish.
So that’s why they’re so mad. I’m selfish for not sharing my resources with Erudia. In their minds, the first thing I should’ve done was hand them over to the country, but I didn’t. Therefore, I’m selfish because I didn’t prioritize the good of Erudia, and I’m not worthy of being Crown King. How ridiculous! It’s downright laughable! Is this their definition of being selfish? Have they forgotten everything that I’ve done before this? The only thing they care about is that I didn’t give my resources to Erudia!
Of course, Levi knew that only a handful of people thought that way and that the majority were grateful to him.
He smiled wryly. It takes all kinds to make a world, including the good and the wicked. Hence, there will inevitably be people like these. These f*cking b*stards! Those resources are mine! I’ll be the one who decides what to do with them, and I’ll give them to whomever I want, thank you very much. Even if I were to toss them into the trash or feed the magical herbs to the dogs, that’s my call. I have no obligation to report what I do with the resources, nor does Erudia have such rules. I have no obligation to give anyone anything. The resources belong to me, and I’ll make my own decisions. They’d do well to mind their own business. Besides, they’re supposed to be used to find an antidote for Evie.
“I think there’s been some misunderstanding. Those resources have nothing to do with you. They’re for me to use in obtaining an antidote for my daughter,” Levi said coldly.
His response set off another flurry of angry protests from the crowd. “You’re right to use them to save your daughter, but do you need that much? You have an abundance of resources, so why don’t you give a portion to Erudia?”
“We heard that the Dragonites and those from The Cardinal Hall are also helping you figure out how to treat your daughter. Aren’t you grateful for their help?”
“Your daughter may be in dire condition, but Erudia is also in the midst of a crisis because we currently have no Deity! Why don’t you use some of your resources to save us?”
“Clearly, you don’t care about Erudia! When it comes down to it, you’d choose your daughter over your country. Erudia means nothing to you. You only care about her!”
“You lack the ability to see the bigger picture! For your daughter’s sake, you’re willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone in Erudia!”
“What I’d like to know is whether you think her life is much more valuable than all of the lives of Erudia’s citizens!”
“More importantly, you gave your resources to another country to save your daughter! The stronger they are, the more of a threat they pose to Erudia! Have you considered that?”
“What’s more, you still haven’t found an antidote, so everything you did was for nothing!”
