Chapter 3546 My Opponent Was A Woman
“I really wanted to know where you’ve been and what you were up to because I wanted to help! Master, I wished to help you with your problems and also help Azure Dragon and the others get their revenge, but I was too scared. I was afraid that if I got involved, I’d be blamed if anything were to go south. I got fearful that I dreamed about your suspicion toward me! I guess this isn’t all bad. Since you kept me out of the loop, you can’t blame me when something happens.” Floyd smiled bitterly and seemed like he was about to cry.
Immediately, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.
They never expected to hear Floyd say something like that since they did not suspect him, but they felt guilty nonetheless, especially Azure Dragon and the others. If this really has nothing to do with Floyd, we’ll be guilt-ridden!
“I won’t ask any of you about Master or if you need help ever again! Never! From now onward, whatever you do is none of my business,” voiced Floyd while glancing at Forlevia since his words were meant for her.
Forlevia could feel her heart shatter after listening to the man’s harsh words.
Although nobody wanted to admit it, they did shut the poor man off.
Floyd was sensitive, so he dared not to ask them even though he wanted to know what they were up to.
He was worried about getting blamed for getting involved should things go sideways.
Since Floyd was so pitiful, nobody had any reason to suspect him.
Shaking her head, Forlevia decided to let the man off the hook.
Floyd then stole a glance at Forlevia and was relieved to see how she had reacted because he put on the act for her.
His plan was to make Forlevia feel sorry for him so she would not suspect him.
With a careful maneuver like that, Floyd would be able to make Forlevia think that it was her idea to tell him about Levi’s whereabouts instead of him asking for it.
Hence, he would not attract unwanted suspicion.
Had Floyd asked about Levi’s location directly, things would have turned out differently.
The man was convinced that he did a pretty good job since Forlevia stopped suspecting him.
“I’m sorry, Evie. This is the only way to keep the secret safe. Otherwise, you’d be putting Gloria in danger,” muttered Floyd to himself with a slight sense of guilt that did not last very long. For Gloria’s sake, I’d do anything, including lying.
After listening to Floyd, everyone began comforting him because they had no idea what happened between him and Forlevia.
They felt nothing but guilt when they were told how they had shut him off.
“It’s not that we don’t trust you. We were just looking out for you,” explained everyone.
“It’s fine. You guys go on. I should leave now before I hear too much.”
In order to stay in character, Floyd turned around and left.
He did not stop, no matter how the others tried to dissuade him.
“Forget it. We’ll talk to him later,” sighed Levi helplessly after watching the man walk away. “Let’s continue to analyze the possible outcomes.”
“This time, it’s not entirely fruitless,” informed Levi, looking at the crowd.
“Really? So there are other discoveries?” Everyone shifted their attention back to the man.
“Yep, that’s right! I never thought that my opponent would be a woman.”
Immediately after hearing Levi, everybody was stunned, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
Floyd, who did not get far, was stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the revelation.
