Chapter 3542 Could His Adversary Be A Woman
Floyd felt relieved.
Gloria truly loves me.
What came before was the stick, now, it was a carrot that had him steadfast in the belief that Gloria had told him off for his own good.
That is apparent now, more so than ever, as I was, after all, the one who reached out to her first this time. What is puzzling, or should I say unbelievable, was how gentle Gloria was…
Unbeknownst to him, Gloria was currently within the vicinity of the spiritual ley line.
In panic mode, she thus gave Floyd this reply, “I might have underestimated Levi again, thinking that he would remain focused solely on the two super-spiritual ley lines! To think that he had figured out my plans and begun to set his sights on the medium and small spiritual ley lines as well…”
Through Floyd’s cautioning and upon learning what Levi was up to, she was swiftly able to work out Levi’s mental approach.
He’s going to try and ambush me either at this medium spiritual ley line or the next one… but should I be trying to take him on in a straight fight?
Gloria was still quite wary about telling herself that she was already capable of crushing Levi outright.
Needing to bide her time so that she may continue to build up her own strength, she knew that she could not afford to be too hasty.
Turning to regard Xylas beside her, she said, “Your predictions have been wrong nearly a hundred times before. Only this time, you got it right, mostly. There is indeed an ambush set up nearby!”
That got Xylas all spooked and shaking in his boots.
“Does that mean that we are going to abandon this medium spiritual ley line…”
Stopping in her tracks, Gloria carefully probed her surroundings once more.
There are no energy fluctuations within the vicinity. It’s just too quiet!
That pervading stillness was somewhat foreboding and was, in her esteem, obviously problematic.
Gloria became increasingly certain of her own intuitions that she had sensed Levi’s presence lurking out of sight.
“Huh? What’s going on? Why have they stopped advancing?”
Levi sensed something amiss.
Could they have discovered me? This is impossible as I’ve already completely masked my own aura!
At that moment, a voice rang out from across the way, “You can quit hiding now, Levi, because I already know that you’re in there! However, I shall not be looking to meet you face to face, for the time being, so until next time… Hahaha…”
Those words that came like a bolt out of the blue caused the color to drain from Levi’s face.
Have I been exposed? This is not good! I have to give chase!
Spurred into action, Levi burst out in pursuit.
Boom!
Gloria immediately took to her heels as well.
Owing to the distance between them, Levi failed to reach her in time and, in the end, she managed to get away.
This…
Levi was positively stunned.
How? How did she discover me? Impossible! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Unless the ability of my counterpart exceeds my own, I could not have been detected so easily, but judging from my target’s decision to avoid confrontation, it would seem reasonable to speculate that he or she still lacked the confidence to deal with me handily.
Then, how was she able to discover me? The fact remained that she had picked up on my presence, and must very likely have done so herself. None of this would make any sense at all otherwise!
First of all, no one knew about my whereabouts, not even Floyd who could have leaked it.
Secondly, they could have known that I was lying in ambush here alone by myself because had that been the case, those guys wouldn’t have even shown up the way they did.
Thirdly, inferring from the trail of depleted spiritual ley lines they left behind, they could not have realized that I knew about the business with the small and medium spiritual ley lines and was already onto them.
To really be able to pick up on my presence, they must have been extremely, or even inconceivably resourceful!
Mulling over it all day had led Levi nowhere, but it would be inaccurate to say that there was no silver lining amidst all that.
Mhm? Female? Judging from the voice I had just heard, my opponent has to be a woman.
That was something that came to Levi quite unexpectedly.
A woman! How could a woman possess such capability? It’s unthinkable!
He was right in assuming that his opponent could very well be a woman, for he had, throughout his investigation into West Pavilion, paid far more attention to the men than the women.
