Chapter 3657 Dissatisfied With Levi
Although such a phrase was commonly used between couples, Gloria had never been the one to say it first. As such, Floyd was on cloud nine. The yearning he felt for her intensified, filling his heart.
With as much sincerity as he could muster, he said, “I missed you too, Gloria! A day without seeing you is like a day without sunshine!” Gloria tamped down the nauseous feeling surging within her from hearing his declaration of love before replying in kind reluctantly.
She then changed the topic. “By the way, did Master Eusof tell Master about the situation? The Holy Guild has started urging about this, but with my current status, I don’t think I can enter the base.”
She was feigning ignorance. “So, you really didn’t know about this.” Floyd was overjoyed, and he felt indignant once again at being doubted by Phoenix and the others.
“Gloria, I’m really sorry. It’s because of my uselessness that Master Eusof was taken by Xylas again.” He proceeded to tell Gloria what had happened.
After he was done, Gloria asked puzzledly, “How is that possible? You guys were so close to the base! Besides, with Master’s capabilities, this shouldn’t have happened even if Xylas was strong, or if the Glorian Order tried to get in the way.”
In truth, this was precisely why Gloria had sought out Floyd.
According to the report given by the Fatalis Warriors who attacked the base, they didn’t see Levi trying to defend the place.
Gloria was perplexed by that, for Eusof was an important man, and Levi had no reason not to take action.
Floyd sighed. “Master’s missing.”
Gloria asked hurriedly, “What? He’s missing? You’re kidding, right? The Glorian Order’s itching to strike right now, so where could Master have gone to?”
Floyd replied helplessly, “I’d like to know that too, but Master’s indeed missing. Even Zoey and Evie have no idea where he could have gone to. Master Eusof wouldn’t have been taken away if he was present, and any suspicion against you would have been completely cleared. What a mess.”
Gloria comforted, “Yeah, it’s too bad that my name wasn’t cleared earlier. If I am, I can go back to the base with you.”
She then added, “But what’s up with Master? Why didn’t he tell you where he went? Aren’t you supposed to be his most valued disciple? Master Eusof would have been fine if you had known where Master was. Floyd, I’m not trying to speak ill of Master here, I just think that—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Floyd cut her off, “You don’t need to explain, Gloria. I know you’re just feeling upset for me.”
Although he didn’t show it, the dissatisfaction he felt toward Levi increased.
This was also what Gloria was aiming for. She believed that by leading Floyd on slowly, he would end up doing something unexpected sooner or later.
She then said, “Come on, don’t stress yourself over this. Maybe Master has his own reasons for doing this. Now that Master Eusof has been captured again, I need to continue my search for the Glorian Order. Everything will be fine once Master Thundera comes back.”
With a helpless look, she continued, “Once my name’s been cleared, I’d like to go to the base with you to meet Master. It’s just a pity we have no idea where he went or when he’ll be back. After all, the base is only safer with him there.”
Floyd couldn’t help feeling delighted when he heard that. “You’ll really come back with me, Gloria? I hope that day comes soon, then. As for Master, you’ll be the first to know when I find his whereabouts.”
A smile tugged at Gloria’s lips at that.
After chatting for a while more, she ended the call, putting on a reluctant act before she did so.
At the altar of the Glorian Order in Corpse Pit, Gloria narrowed her eyes, looking to be deep in thought.
