Chapter 3449 Days Are Numbered
Why would the mastermind abandon the bodies? It doesn’t make any sense!
Well, there is another possible explanation— The Esoteric Guild is overly confident that no one can trace it.
Nonetheless, Levi thought the explanation was rather unlikely.
Judging from the mastermind’s style, he was cautious and mindful of every tiny detail.
Therefore, Levi couldn’t believe that the mastermind would casually abandon the corpses.
After considering every aspect, Levi began to think it could well be the masterminds’ plan to frame someone else for their crime.
Therefore, Levi opined that he had to keep a close eye on the West Pavilion, for the so-called evidence could be a false front to distract him and the Holy Guild.
If Levi’s inference was correct, the mastermind could be brewing a horrible plan now.
It is the only explanation!
At that time, Levi felt he was close to the truth but couldn’t be entirely sure.
All things considered, Levi’s best course of action was to keep a close watch on the West Pavilion.
Unlike Levi, the Holy Guild didn’t have the same doubts because it discovered the evidence.
Due to the discovery of the seemingly solid evidence and the moles, the Holy Guild didn’t think otherwise.
“Next, we must focus on finding the Top Ten and the four cornerstone divine tools. If the Esoteric Guild is the mastermind, I believe we’ll get the answer very soon. Anyway, remember that it must be done secretly. We mustn’t alert them that we’re investigating them.”
Solocus added, “All the while, we had been investigating it by searching the areas outside the Esoteric Guild. Now, we have to infiltrate the Esoteric Guild!”
To ensure that everything could go smoothly, Solocus picked the best men to go on the mission.
After making the arrangement, Solocus began to plan the step forward. “If it turns out that the Esoteric Guild is the culprit, we can team up with Levi to destroy the Esoteric Guild first!”
“Oh? Did you say teaming up with Levi? Will he agree to it?”
Everybody present was astounded at Solocus’ proposal.
Solocus put on a faint smile and explained, “I understand Levi better than all of you. Although we haven’t met in person, I know Levi has zero tolerance for schemers. Therefore, if the Esoteric Guild is the culprit, he will never let it off the hook!”
With that, everyone nodded in agreement. “Master Solocus is right. After all, Levi’s sword was also stolen. Once the truth surfaces, he won’t let the culprit off the hook.”
“In that case, we’re natural allies and can team up easily! Moreover, we can stand to benefit if Levi and the Esoteric Guild suffer heavy losses!”
“I guess you’re right…”
Everybody present thought that Solocus’ plan was workable.
It had to be said that Gloria’s move was brilliant, for she successfully diverted the attention of both sides.
Now, all she had to do was wait for the transplant of the spiritual bone.
Everything was progressing very smoothly.
As Gloria’s spiritual bone had been removed, the new devourer spiritual bone was about to be transplanted into her body.
Meanwhile, Sonja and the rest witnessed everything from the beginning till the critical juncture.
Deep down, they hoped that either Levi would come or Gloria’s spiritual bone transplantation would fail.
However, their wish didn’t come true, for God and good luck seemed to be on Gloria’s side.
Neither did Levi come, nor did any accident happen throughout the transplantation process.
On the contrary, everything progressed just like Gloria wished.
Although the Bone Grandmaster wasn’t involved in the transplantation, he watched the entire process as though he enjoyed looking at his piece of art.
“The Ecclesiastic Order’s days are numbered, for the new Demon King is about to be born! Hahaha…”
The Bone Grandmaster burst into laughter as he watched the transplantation.
Although Gloria had informed Floyd beforehand, he still wished to keep in touch with her all the time.
After all, Floyd had grown increasingly dependent on Gloria over time.
Eventually, he couldn’t hold back his desire to contact Gloria.
However, Floyd’s attempts were to no avail, for Gloria never answered his calls.
Something isn’t right. Could it be that Gloria is in trouble?
It was the first thing that popped into Floyd’s mind.
In addition, Floyd recalled something was amiss when Gloria contacted him recently.
It was as if something was about to happen soon.
Floyd didn’t realize it back then, but now he thought Gloria could be in danger.
