Chapter 3611 Turn Against Us
Word of the bloodbath at West Pavilion soon reached Levi.
It was evident that the mysterious force was behind it, and after further investigation, they discovered traces of Xylas’ and the Fatalis Warriors’ handiwork.
However, this mysterious woman’s whereabouts and actions are extremely strange. I simply can’t guess what her next step will be.
“She may very well be planning to attack the base next,” he mused.
With that thought in mind, Levi redoubled his efforts to find a place for his friends and family to go into hiding.
I’m eager to metamorphose using the three super-spiritual ley lines. Hence, I have to think of a way to ensure everyone’s safety first so I can do so without any worries.
Meanwhile, Phoenix and the others were still investigating the massacre at West Pavilion and soon obtained a piece of crucial information.
Almost everyone who died used to be Gloria’s mortal enemies, including those who had bullied and mocked her.
As for those on good terms with her, they either survived or were nowhere to be found.
Such an occurrence was quite intriguing indeed.
“If there were only one or two such cases, it could be a coincidence. However, there’s clearly something fishy if there’s that many of them,” Phoenix said, voicing her concern.
The others agreed with her.
If it’s really Gloria’s doing, it’d be easy to explain the situation. Or in other words, only if she were the person behind it would what had happened make sense.
“We must inform Boss of this so that he’s aware of how things stand,” Azure Dragon suggested.
Feeling unsure about that, Phoenix replied, “He’s very busy now. We’d better wait until we have more conclusive evidence before telling him.”
Just then, Floyd arrived back at the base.
Since ascertaining that Gloria was alive and well, he was in exceptionally high spirits, and even the sight of Azure Dragon and the others did not make him as angry as before.
“You don’t have to continue investigating. Gloria is still alive, and the bloodbath at West Pavilion definitely has nothing to do with her,” he announced.
The others were dumbfounded. They did not think Floyd would actually succeed in tracking down Gloria’s whereabouts.
Could it be that just like we suspected, he and Gloria have been in touch all this while?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Phoenix could not refrain from asking, “Floyd, how are you so sure that she’s innocent?”
Floyd replied, “That’s because I saw many West Pavilion people with her. They all survived after fighting hard. If she was the culprit, wouldn’t she have slaughtered every last person?”
He thought his question would render them speechless.
After all, he felt that his reasoning and logic were flawless.
“Floyd, that just shows how good she is at fooling others,” Phoenix sneered.
Noticing that Floyd was about to fly into a rage again, Azure Dragon hurriedly explained, “Don’t get angry just yet, Floyd. After our investigation, we found that the members of West Pavilion who survived or we have no news of are those who were friends with her. As for those who bullied and ridiculed her, practically all of them suffered a horrible death.”
The angry expression on Floyd’s face froze immediately.
Suddenly, he recalled how he had devoured the powers of the deceased disciples from West Pavilion.
He seemed to recall that Gloria did say they were those who had bullied her.
That was also why he felt slightly less guilty about what he did.
“That’s impossible!”
Floyd’s thoughts were in turmoil. Nonetheless, he still could not bring himself to believe that Gloria was the real culprit.
“I even injured her not too long ago. Would she be so weak and helpless if she’s really that mysterious woman? Why are all of you so fixated on doubting her? What has she done to offend you? If you’re unhappy about something, take it out on me,” said Floyd.
He became increasingly worked up as he spoke, even going so far as to assume a fighting stance.
“Floyd, are you going to turn against us just because of a woman?” Black Tortoise asked in a low voice.
