Chapter 3694 Observing Floyd
Levi felt everything suddenly make sense. Back then, not many knew of his plan and itinerary, so under usual circumstances, the mysterious woman should not know about his exact location—unless someone on Levi’s side had been ratting on him. Someone close to him.
At the time, Levi refused to suspect anyone around him. After all, they were either his family and friends or his disciples. If Levi were to distrust them, it would hurt their feelings, so he simply considered the whole incident a pure coincidence.
“Besides, Boss, you were certain that the mysterious woman was in the West Pavilion. That was why you pressured them and almost killed them all. Gloria turned out to be among them.”
Levi’s face fell as Phoenix continued recounting everything.
“A mysterious elder intervened and helped. That was how Gloria escaped in the end. According to our investigation, that old man is probably the Bone Grandmaster the Ecclesiastic Order’s Medical Guild banished. This man happens to be one of the top people of the Glorian Order and is definitely one of the council members.”
“So,” Levi concluded coldly, “we’ve all been fooled all this while. That makes her a worthy opponent.”
Initially, Levi was angered by what Gloria did, but his competitive spirit was ignited when he discovered that she was a formidable opponent.
“We also found out that Gloria is cultivating the extreme devouring technique Evie created. In this regard, I verified it with Floyd. He accidentally spilled the beans when I interrogated him and said he was the one who taught Gloria the technique. She’s once shown how powerful she was, and people saw it. They said she singlehandedly defeated Master Eusof. Even the Top Ten fell into the hands of the Glorian Order. Their spiritual bones were gorged out, so it’s highly possible she used them for herself.”
What Phoenix just disclosed was appalling, for everyone knew that even if someone were to acquire Evie’s technique, their body and spiritual bone would not be able to withstand the energy of extreme devouring.
On top of that, it would still be understandable that Floyd had accidentally revealed some intel of the base to her in his lovestruck state, but teaching Gloria the technique was undoubtedly deliberate.
The council members of the base were spared only because Xylas had gone easy on them the previous two times.
If what Phoenix said were true, Floyd had done an unforgivable thing, and there was no way he could make up for what he had done.
It could even be said he had played a substantial role in making a demon like Gloria.
“People also saw Gloria coming out of the Glorian Order base frequently. It seems like Gloria introduced herself as Lord Gloria to outsiders. Not only that but there are also rumors that—”
“That’s enough,” Levi interrupted Phoenix.
They fell silent when they saw Levi’s reaction. Although it did not seem like he was infuriated, they could still tell that he was deeply affected.
Boss is angry. No. He’s incensed.
Phoenix and the others shared the same thought.
Indeed, Levi was enraged. He would still dismiss everything as a coincidence if it happened once or twice, but at least three solid instances showed that Gloria was the culprit.
Thus, the truth was irrefutable.
Most crucially, Floyd was still unrepentant and even attacked Phoenix and the others. He even threatened them with death.
Levi was utterly disappointed and saddened.
“Don’t be angry, Boss. Gloria really knows how to make a man listen to her and even die for her. Although we didn’t expect Floyd to fall for her tricks, it’s understandable given Gloria’s cunningness,” Phoenix comforted.
Although Phoenix disapproved of Floyd’s actions, she could not bring herself to penalize him.
Levi kept quiet for a while before stating, “How we deal with Floyd depends on what he does next.”
