Chapter 3612 Targeting The Esoteric Guild
“Just because of a woman? That’s easy for you to say!” Floyd gave a mirthless chuckle, then asked, “If your loved ones were unjustifiably accused and doubted by others, would you still be reasoning with others so calmly? You can’t understand someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Don’t you even understand such a simple concept?”
He was very upset indeed.
The good mood I had after finding out that Gloria is safe and well is now ruined. Although many signs show she’s innocent, she’s still getting doubted by all these evil people. Moreover, it feels like their suspicions have intensified. That’s really crossing the line!
“Floyd, you’re Boss’ best aide and a brother to us. That’s why we’re saying all this. We mean well, but why do you keep taking our kindness for malice? Have you thought carefully about how much you actually know about Gloria?”
Azure Dragon was also getting a little angry. He even felt that Floyd was becoming increasingly unreasonable.
Why does his wisdom turn into stupidity whenever the issue has anything to do with Gloria?
“Azure Dragon, you’ve finally touched the crux of the matter. You’re right. If it weren’t because of our bond, I’d have already taught all of you a lesson. Forget it. People who have different values can’t work together. Some day, you’ll realize how wrong your suspicions are.”
With that, Floyd turned and walked away.
Everyone was stunned as they watched him leave.
After the obliteration of West Pavilion, there was also an attack on East Pavilion.
However, the number of casualties was not particularly high.
Of course, that was because the Ecclesiastic Order and other factions started forming defensive alliances after what happened to West Pavilion.
The mysterious force failed to cut off East Pavilion’s communication with the outside world.
Hence, reinforcements managed to arrive at the scene in time, leading to their success in dispersing the enemy.
The incident sent the Ecclesiastic Order into a panic.
My strategy has been to divert attention from my goal by pretending to take another course of action. All this while, my target has been the Esoteric Guild.
Knowing she had to eliminate any possibility of Levi interfering halfway to ensure her plan was foolproof, she summoned Xylas again.
“What are your orders, Master?” Xylas asked respectfully.
“The Ecclesiastic Guild has its hands full, so they’ll be too busy to pay attention to the Esoteric Guild. However, I’m not so sure about Levi. That’s why you need to bring your men near Levi’s base from time to time. That’ll make him think twice about leaving the place,” Gloria instructed in a low voice.
“Got it,” Xylas responded with a grin.
She pondered for a moment before continuing, “Another thing is to up the efforts on training the Fatalis Warriors. They’ll be the Glorian Order’s sharpest sword, a sword that’ll strike fear in everyone’s hearts!”
“Understood!”
Xylas was also very keen on training the Fatalis Warriors because all of them were currently his direct subordinates.
They would also be Xylas’ means to exact revenge on the Ecclesiastic Order and the Holy Guild.
After making all the arrangements, Gloria headed straight to the Esoteric Guild.
Outside the Esoteric Guild, the theurgists knew they were facing a formidable enemy.
Gloria was shrouded in black energy, and everyone present could not help trembling before her powerful and intimidating aura.
“I’ve heard of the Esoteric Guild’s ability to kill its foes with Heavenly Thunder, so allow me to experience its power.”
Gloria’s voice rumbled like thunder, causing a ringing in the theurgists’ ears.
“So, you’re Lord Gloria from the Glorian Order, the person who destroyed Yartran?” the master theurgist asked in a deep voice.
She smiled and said, “They were merely an inconsequential foreign force. Do you need to be so surprised by that?”
There was a collective sharp intake of breath.
Even someone as strong as Levi wouldn’t describe Yartran as such, would he?
“Initiate the Thunder-Summoning Technique!” the master theurgist commanded immediately.
His instinct told him that Gloria was there to destroy the Esoteric Guild. Hence, he decided to retaliate using the powerful Heavenly Thunder Formation so that they would not follow in Yartran’s footsteps.
