Chapter 3462 Links To Gloria
If something was amiss, there was only one possibility—Floyd was lying!
In other words, he was the one who leaked everything. At the very least, he was aware of the situation and had been colluding with the other force.
That was a huge possibility.
However, it was impossible for Levi to believe that because he trusted Floyd unconditionally.
Even if he felt that something was off, he wouldn’t suspect anything of the man.
Floyd was his most trusted disciple, so he had no reason to doubt him.
For that reason, he acquiesced silently.
Without a shadow of a doubt, news of me stalking Callahan was leaked by Floyd. Nonetheless, the leak only happened when he was investigating Callahan. Then, that won’t be a problem. It’s fine as long as it wasn’t the third unknown force that directly discovered my tracks. I’ll just remind him to be more careful next time.
“Floyd, don’t be reckless when investigating anything in the future. Follow my orders and don’t reveal any of my affairs or whereabouts. Do you understand me?” Levi instructed.
In response, Floyd nodded. “I understand, Master. I’ll ask you for directions before I do anything in the future!”
Then, he inquired, “Oh yes, why did you summon me, Master?”
“Well, nothing’s the matter anymore. Callahan is dead, and you know that, so it’s no longer of import.”
He has already told me everything I wanted to ask, so what else could I say?
“Okay, then. Please excuse me, Master!”
Floyd left at once.
Despite having dispelled Levi’s suspicions, he was terrified earlier and was merely forcing himself to feign calmness.
Right then, he was on the verge of breaking down.
As Levi stared at Floyd’s retreating back, he wondered whether he should send someone to tail him and see whether he was lying or conspiring with the enemy.
On second thought, however, he nixed that idea because he felt that he shouldn’t be suspecting his own disciple.
He believed that if Floyd really made a mistake, the latter would personally admit to it.
Alas, it never crossed his mind that the man had changed.
He was no longer the Floyd of the past.
Subsequently, Levi chuckled.
“The other force only managed to avoid me the past few times because they knew what I was doing. Moving forward, if I tell no one about my whereabouts or whatever I’m doing, I’ll be the only one who knows all that! We shall see how the lot of you can evade me!”
He promptly had an idea and decided to never breathe a single word about his whereabouts to Floyd and the others.
Then, they wouldn’t be able to glean any information.
Unfortunately, the Holy Guild had long since been tricked.
They only had evidence the other force tossed out one by one, not something they found.
Therefore, Levi felt that it was necessary for him to visit the Esoteric Guild and explain the situation to them.
At that time, the other force wouldn’t be able to make their move, nipping them in the bud.
Naturally, they would then reveal their true colors.
After Floyd was certain that he had left Levi behind, he instantly collapsed to the ground.
He was sweating profusely as though he had been drenched in the rain.
He breathed so heavily that he was panting for breath.
He appeared calm just now, but he was merely putting on a façade.
If it had been any longer, he would definitely had crumbled.
After all, he was lying earlier.
He never investigated Callahan, nor did he know that the latter was a spy from the Esoteric Guild.
All that was a script Gloria taught him.
In order to protect her, he lied to his master’s face.
That was already the third time I lied, yes? Anyhow, I’m glad that Master believed it in the end. Otherwise, it’d be troublesome.
Verily, he hoped that Gloria could get along with Levi and the others without getting into a fight before they even met.
However, the problem then was the fact that Gloria left in a hurry after he told her that his master was keeping an eye on Callahan.
Right after that, Callahan died.
That piece of news could only have been leaked by him.
No one else could have done it.
That made it clear that Callahan’s death was undoubtedly linked to Gloria.
Earlier, he was occupied with dealing with Levi, so he didn’t give it further thought.
However, things were different at that moment.
