Chapter 3149 The Joke Of The Ten Millenium Snow Lotus
The noise subsided almost instantaneously as the crowd held their breath in stunned silence.
The appearance of the tree branch rooted them to the spot in fear as if a gust of freezing gale rushed up from beneath their feet and enveloped them in a block of frost.
What a shocking turn of events.
They were awaiting the treasure but nobody expected that to be it.
It was an outcome none of them expected.
Dr. Erebus, however, was greeted with the very scene he predicted.
They will no doubt be left speechless when they see this.
From where he stood, the motionless crowd looked more like statues instead of people.
Nobody had recognized the wooden box until the withered branch appeared alongside it.
It was only then that comprehension had dawned upon their faces.
Wasn’t that the box we sent to Levi as a final insult when we lied to him about the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus? How could we have forgotten? It was the most offensive thing we ever did to him! There is no way we will forget that! We might not have recognized it if either one of the items were produced but when both appeared together, every single one of us in the crowd would know. In fact, the ones who do not know, also the ones who wanted to avenge themselves, have been killed by us.
The rest who survived conspired to defraud Levi.
To Agent 7, the realization collapsed upon him like a thunder strike.
Being the one to have picked up the dried branch, he knew better than anybody else.
Back then, they had only intended to go through with the deception as the gesture of sending the wooden box for an additional layer of insult was too troublesome.
However, Agent 6 felt it prudent to go through with the humiliation and suggested sending an empty box. It was met with genial applause.
Upon gaining everybody’s agreement, the plan was quickly put into action.
The people who had invited Levi bought a wooden box.
Agent 7 was not satisfied. He picked up a dried branch from beneath his feet and put it into the wooden box.
“We did not lie to Levi,” Agent 7 joked at that time. “Isn’t this the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus he’s after? Here it is!”
Soon, it had become a running gag in their group.
Whenever they saw a withered branch like the one in the box, they called it the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus.
Even if they forgot about the box, the withered branch would no doubt leave a deep impression.
The crowd recognized the withered branch immediately, which was a particularly memorable sight to Agent 7 as it was a severe blow to him.
No wonder the wooden box looked familiar! It was taken from us!
At that moment, there was nothing else except thoughts of the treasure on their minds.
The seven decision-makers turned a nasty shade of green at the sight of the withered branch.
The rest of the crowd was becoming unhinged with shock.
Is that it? The treasure? More importantly, why did Levi bring this here to show us? Could it be…
Suddenly, a terrifying possibility occurred to them with the ominous and sudden crash of a thunderbolt.
