Chapter 3150 Like A Sword
Though the day was bright and sunny, it felt to the crowd as if the sky had turned an ashen gray.
Their minds went paralyzed with shock. As a dull hum filled their ears, hallucinations of complete annihilation were conjured before their eyes.
What a frightening thought! How could that be? Hasn’t that been thrown away? How does he still have it? Does that mean he has found out about the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus deception?
The crowd became even more horrified at that thought as they emitted a collective gasp.
Impossible! We were so careful! Though we all did play a role by voicing our enthusiasm for participating in the deception, Agent 3 was the one to have orchestrated it. He has always been a careful man and would not have left any clues behind. Even the people who investigated in his wake yielded nothing. How could Levi remain calm if he knew the truth? Besides, if he really is already aware, would it make sense to lie to him again? The resources were transported by us which makes it impossible that he could have known!
As the crowd had already declared their support for Levi to face Hydron, they were struck with horror at the proof that lay before them.
They began harbor a suspicion at the delayed arrival of Levi’s resources.
Every eye was on Levi whose expression could not be read.
Does he even know about what’s going on? It’s hard to tell!
The seven decision-makers, especially Agent 7 and Agent 3, began to feel frightened.
After Agent 1 did his best to regain his composure, he turned to Levi. “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Garrison? Where is the treasure? Could you have brought the wrong item?”
The others chimed in, feigning ignorance. “That’s right. Where is the treasure? Enough games, Mr. Garrison. We want to see it!”
They intended to test if Levi was aware of the truth.
He smiled, the mysterious sense of foreboding growing deeper to the further confusion of the crowd as he spoke. “It’s right here!”
“Stop messing around, Mr. Garrison,” Agent 1 pleaded wearily. “That’s a withered tree branch! How could it be the treasure?”
The others chimed in. “This withered branch is barely comparable to the resource. How could it be a treasure?”
Levi was insistent. “This is it.”
“Eh?”
Before the others could interrupt, Levi posited the question as he held out the withered branch. “What do you think this branch resembles?”
The crowd appeared thoroughly confused, still uncertain whether or not Levi was aware of their deception.
However, they felt obliged to humor him. “Like magical herbs?” Agent 1 answered tentatively.
The others offered their guesses. “Ginseng? Snow lotus?”
Levi shook his head at all of the responses. “No, look at the shape. What does it remind you of?”
He shook the branch in his hand as though guiding their inference.
Agent 1 and his men could not for the life of them figure out what Levi meant.
“We don’t know, Mr. Garrison,” Agent 1 conceded. “Our imagination is too limited, it seems.”
At that moment, a voice came from the corner. “It looks like a sword!”
