Chapter 3596 Floyd Tested Gloria
Floyd was truly prepared to give up his life, but the sensation of her soft palm around his wrist snapped him out of it.
Upon looking up at Gloria, he saw a hint of concern on her face.
Gloria couldn’t bear to watch me die! I knew it! She still loves me! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped me from taking my own life!
Floyd felt touched to the core that his eyes brimmed with tears.
“Gloria, have you forgiven me?” Floyd asked with a pleading look in his eyes.
The corner of Gloria’s lips twitched slightly when she heard that, and she was starting to regret stopping him.
On the one hand, she wanted to put up with the disgust for the sake of her plan. On the other, she wanted to just let Floyd take his own life.
At that very moment, the scale was starting to tip in the latter’s favor.
“Not yet!” Gloria replied with a snort and quickly let go of his wrist.
If not for the reason to prevent him from growing suspicious of her, she would’ve washed her hands on the spot.
She felt utterly disgusted even though she was touching him through his shirt sleeve.
“I will never forgive you if you try to take your life again!”
Naturally, Floyd was elated when he heard what she said.
She clearly doesn’t want me to die! She’s just too shy to say it to my face! Oh, I love it when she’s acting all shy like this!
“All right. I promise I won’t try to end my own life easily anymore.”
Floyd then got to his feet as he continued, “By the way, what have you been up to lately? None of us were able to contact you!”
Gloria knew he would ask her about that, so she had already prepared a few responses beforehand.
Even so, she deliberately put on a conflicted expression and said after a brief pause, “Look, I’m only telling you this in view of our relationship. The Holy Guild has tasked me with a secret mission to locate Master Thundera. You know how arrogant the members of the Ecclesiastic Order can be. They’d never yield to someone else willingly!”
Floyd’s eyes went wide as he realized what she meant.
The members of the Ecclesiastic Order are all very arrogant people, so they must hate having to answer to Master all the time. It makes perfect sense for them to desperately search for Master Thundera.
“What about cutting off communication—”
Gloria cut him off once again, “In order to avoid exposing our location, the higher-ups forbade us from contacting outsiders. It all happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to brief you on the situation.”
“Ah, I see.”
Floyd didn’t suspect a word she said as it all made perfect sense to him.
The tech experts would be able to track the location through her communication device if she contacts anyone. It’s all clear to me now! I shouldn’t have doubted her one bit!
Gloria broke into a sneer when he wasn’t looking.
She knew Floyd wouldn’t investigate it because he would need to go through Levi, and he would never risk exposing her like that.
Although Floyd had obtained all the answers to his questions, he still had some doubts when he recalled the findings of Phoenix and the others.
I need to test Evie’s technique out to be fully sure!
With that in mind, Floyd said, “Gloria, I’ve been practicing my cultivation ever since you scolded me that one time. I think I’ve gotten a lot stronger now. Would you like to assess my level of cultivation?”
He felt a little nervous as he feared Gloria would turn his request down.
I can’t insist on it if she turns me down, or I’d come off as trying too hard. Gloria is a smart woman, so she’ll definitely know I’m testing her. It’d be bad if I end up ruining our relationship!
To his surprise, Gloria agreed to his request without any hesitation.
“Sure thing! I’m curious as to how much stronger you’ve gotten!”
Pfft… You fool! You can’t deceive me with your little tricks! Well, whatever. Since he still has doubts about me, I’ll just play along with it!
