Chapter 3392 Carrot And Stick
“Well, we didn’t go anywhere. There’s an underground facility in my master’s base camp where we hid ourselves,” Floyd spilled the beans.
Gloria finally had a grasp of the situation.
Lo and behold, Floyd and the others did not leave the base camp at all. They were not seen anywhere during the war because there had discreetly entered a secret annex.
At that moment, she connected all the dots and concluded that the pawn was still useful.
Instantly, the mystery was solved.
Floyd added, “First, I couldn’t contact you. Second, I didn’t dare to do it. What if the others find out? They will surely treat you like an enemy, and I don’t want that to happen.”
At that instant, there was panic in Gloria’s eyes.
That is indeed possible. It’s easier to expose oneself when there’s an emergency situation. Thank God I’ve brainwashed him to think in this direction.
“Phew, that’s good. I had ants in my pants the whole time. By the way, how was the battle? Did your master injure himself?” Gloria asked innocently.
Next, Floyd started bragging about how great Levi was, making Gloria feel rather uneasy.
Levi is too strong. He’s just like a mountain, firmly seated right in front of me, and I have no way to remove it.
Although she had never met him in person nor know him well, he was her archenemy, the thorn that pierced her heart.
Levi resembled a demon who had instilled great terror within her.
She trembled in fear whenever she thought about him.
Floyd looked at her and said, “Thanks for giving me some tips in advance, Gloria. Otherwise, my master wouldn’t have prepared himself for the war. You’ve contributed to his success!”
“Really? That’s awesome. Finally, there’s something I could do for you as well as your master.” Gloria pretended to be astounded.
Deep down, she knew that Levi’s victory had nothing to do with her because he was unbeatable.
That was an indisputable fact.
Nothing would have changed the results, regardless if there was an elite his match.
“Gloria, I think it’s time for me to introduce you to my master. What do you think?” Floyd stared at her with much anticipation.
“Huh?”
She did not expect him to make such a suggestion, so she was taken by surprise.
“I want to tell them that you’re the one who shared the news with me, and in turn, it helped us to achieve success. In fact, you’ve been helping us secretly in all those incidents in the past. I want to proudly introduce you to my master and friends and welcome you to the big family with open arms,” Floyd boldly shared his plans.
He had been waiting for the right moment for a while now, and thought that the time had come for him to take a step forward.
He gazed at her expectantly, waiting for her reply.
However, Gloria scoffed, “You’re putting me on the spot!”
“Huh? How is that so?”
Floyd’s expression turned ghastly.
“Bringing me to your master at this juncture? Who wouldn’t suspect that I have an ulterior motive? The Ecclesiastic Order has just attacked your master. I bet he views them as enemies now. Would he believe that I’m for him and not against him even though I’ve done so much for you and your gang in the past?”
“Eh?” Floyd was completely baffled.
Nothing turned out like what he had imagined. He mulled it over and realized that she had a point.
The war has just ended. If I bring Gloria back now, who would believe that she’s innocent? Conversely, they might consider what she has done in the past as a trap. Additionally, they might put the blame on her for exposing the base camp. They would even think that she’s got something to do with the missing God Crusher.
“One more thing, if I go with you to meet your master, the Ecclesiastic Order would label me a traitor, causing a deeper grudge between Levi and the Ecclesiastic Order. Are you trying to get me killed by both sides?” she refuted fiercely.
Floyd apologized immediately, “I’m sorry, Gloria. I didn’t think that far.”
Gradually, Gloria softened her tone. “I, too, am looking forward to meeting your master, but the timing isn’t ideal.”
With that, Gloria manipulated him with a carrot and a stick.
