Chapter 3432 Floyd Is On Pins And Needles
If I take the risk to remind Floyd now, I tend to put myself in deep water, right? There was nothing Gloria could do to turn back time. She could only keep her fingers crossed that Levi would not find out Floyd was the one leaking information to her.
Gloria hid somewhere right after much contemplation. She started working on the preparation for a backup plan in case Levi found out she was the mastermind behind everything.
On pins and needles, Gloria broke out in cold sweat. She was all tensed up about the tragic fate that might befall her.
In the meantime, Levi was back in the base.
“Boss! Master! You’re back!” everyone greeted him in unison.
“Gather everyone now!” he instructed grimly.
“Huh? What’s wrong?” someone asked apprehensively.
Even though everyone’s curiosity was piqued, they still assembled as instructed by Levi. Soon, everyone gathered right in front of the latter.
Looking intently at them, Levi stated solemnly, “I have the utmost trust in all of you, just like how you trust me!”
Hearing that, everyone sensed something amiss. Levi had never mentioned anything like that before.
Needless to say, Floyd’s heart skipped a beat instantaneously.
“Boss, of course! We’re well aware of that!” Azure Dragon responded earnestly.
“Boss, did anything happen? Please tell us now!” the others urged him anxiously.
The next second, Levi cut to the chase. “Someone had leaked the news about my trip to Yartran. The moment the Ecclesiastic Order knew about it, they set off to eradicate North Pavilion!”
His words sent everyone into a tizzy.
“How’s that possible? Boss, we’re the only ones who knew about your whereabouts all the while!”
“How could the news be spread within such a short span?”
“Could it be one of us had leaked it?”
Some of them squealed in bafflement.
A heated discussion broke out, and everyone started making wild guesses. Nonetheless, every single one of them was relatively trustworthy. They were sure as h*ll none of them would betray Levi and expose his whereabouts.
Huh? Expose his whereabouts? There was a drastic change in Floyd’s countenance.
Realization dawned on him that he could have exposed his master’s whereabouts in a way. But I didn’t tell anyone else other than Gloria. Since she’s already my woman, she’s considered one of our people! Hence, she couldn’t be the one exposing it!
On the other hand, Levi continued to reassure them, “I’m pretty sure nobody among us had exposed it wittingly!”
Everyone felt touched; their eyes glittered with sparkles. Undeniably, they had the utmost trust in Levi, just like how he trusted them.
“However, I have a hunch someone among us had leaked it unintentionally. Inevitably, we still cross paths with the Ecclesiastic Order and others in the outer world. Thus, anyone might have exposed it accidentally! Not to mention, the base is encircled by spies hiding not far away from us. Hence, there’s still a possibility it was exposed inadvertently. Can all of you try to recall if you’d liaised with any outsiders when I was not around earlier?” Levi uttered somberly.
Therefore, they started to recall by all means.
Floyd felt a surge of anxiousness from within him, but he was convinced that Gloria could not be the culprit. She’s considered one of us now! To me, she’s as important as Master! No way! It couldn’t be her!
Deep down, Floyd was overcome by another wave of uneasiness. He foresaw Gloria would be in deep water if he mentioned her name. She’s innocent! I can’t let her take the fall!
Zoey suggested, “How about getting everyone who’d stepped out of the base recently to step forward? It’s more precise to filter this way.”
“Huh?” Floyd’s anxiousness intensified. Undeniably, he had stepped out of the base earlier, and many among them were aware of that.
Shortly after, everyone who had stepped out of the base recently stepped forward.
Preoccupied with a sense of guilt, Floyd had no choice but to step forward as well. He knew it would only escalate the situation if he tended to act suspiciously.
Zoey cut the crap. “Tell us whom you’d met after stepping out of the base and the content of your conversations with them. Try to provide as many details as possible!”
