Chapter 3696 Made Up His Mind
As Floyd spoke, he surreptitiously observed Levi’s reaction. When he mentioned about being angry at the latter, the man’s brows furrowed slightly.
Noticing that, he hastily changed his tune and fibbed, “Of course, I also know that you only did that for my own good. As time passed, I learned to accept it.”
Sure enough, the man’s brows smoothened out after Floyd said that, and his expression reverted to its usual calmness. “I’m glad you understand my good intentions.” Gratification was written all over Levi’s face.
Contrarily, Floyd sneered inwardly. The primary source of his fury stemmed from the fact that Levi almost killed Gloria a while ago.
Yet, he’s now pretending as though nothing ever happened, inquiring about Gloria with fake concern. What an utterly pretentious, two-faced man!
“Actually, Master, I recently obtained some information regarding Gloria. It popped out from nowhere like a swarm of bees,” Floyd remarked.
Smirking, Levi drawled, “Are you saying that the information is fake?”
“No, Master. It’s just that I think someone seems to be manipulating things behind the scenes, deliberately leaking some information out lately,” Floyd hastily clarified. “If Gloria is indeed the lord of the Glorian Order, we naturally have to deal with her in full force. But if someone else is trying to mislead the public, we can’t allow the culprit to remain at large either.”
“You’re right.” Levi first affirmed Floyd’s words. Immediately after, however, his tone turned serious as he continued, “But, Floyd, you must remember one thing. The situation is delicate right now, for a lot of evidence is indeed pointing at Gloria. As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without a fire. We’ve still got to put an end to all this. No sloppiness is allowed at such a time. After all, it’s better to be wrongly harsh than wrongly lenient.”
In a flash, Floyd’s mood plummeted to rock bottom.
At that instant, he finally understood Levi’s true attitude toward Gloria.
Even if he had spared Gloria previously, as long as someone continues to instigate things, he’d most likely persist in his bid to kill her. It looks like I must make the ultimate decision soon!
Unbidden, murder flashed across his mind. Nonetheless, he wasn’t at all surprised.
“What’s wrong?” Levi asked with a frown.
Jumping in fright, Floyd swiftly reined in his murderous intent and answered, “Nothing. I merely feel that you’re absolutely right, Master. Gloria can’t be allowed to remain. I’ll go and investigate her whereabouts right away. Regardless of whether she’s the lord of the Glorian Order, I’ll take her life.”
While saying that, he furtively observed Levi’s reaction from the corner of his eye. As expected, he saw the latter nodding in approval.
“There’s no hurry. If it really comes to that, I’ll personally make a move,” Levi declared, stopping him from doing so.
“All right, then.”
The wrath within Floyd blazed once more. Out of the blue, he found the man too much of a hypocrite.
He has already made a move, yet he’s claiming otherwise now. Such behavior makes him totally unworthy to be my master. He’s probably afraid that I would be resentful of him, so he intentionally put on a show and stopped me pretentiously. That must be it!
He felt that he had seen right through Levi’s intentions.
“Whatever the case, don’t contact Gloria anymore henceforth. If I discover that you’ve done so, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship,” Levi warned.
“Got it, Master. I won’t contact her anymore.”
Despite answering thus, Floyd groused incessantly deep within.
How pretentious! He’s making it sound as though he showed great regard for our relationship in the past! Since you first betrayed me, Levi, don’t blame me for doing the same!
He was seemingly close to the verge of snapping.
“Okay, you may leave now. I need to go into solitary training for a few days. Don’t disrupt me unless there’s something urgent.”
Waving a dismissive hand, Levi ended their conversation there.
“Understood!”
Floyd whirled around and walked away, the corners of his mouth turning up a fraction.
Solitary training? Even God is on my side!
He felt that his opportunity had come.
