Chapter 3697 Divine Perish
After leaving Levi’s room, Floyd no longer bothered to conceal his murderous intentions. If one were to look closely, one would realize that his eyes had already been blanketed by a purplish-black aura at that moment.
It made him look utterly demonic. Through his conversation with Levi, Floyd had ascertained that the man would never allow Gloria off the hook.
It’s probably only a matter of time before he makes a move against her. With Phoenix and the others instigating him from the side, there’s no way he’d change his mind. No matter who wants to stop me from being with Gloria, I’ll eliminate them all!
After turning it over in his mind, he ultimately decided to be with Gloria. At present, the greatest obstacle between them was Levi.
Only by killing him will I be able to spend the rest of my life with the woman I love. Although Floyd was being controlled by the Pill of Evil and Demon Incantation right then, he didn’t lose his mind completely.
In fact, his mind was even clearer than when he was at his peak form. Alas, he had plunged into a fanatical love toward Gloria, so extreme that it bordered on obsession.
Having returned to his room, he meticulously hatched an assassination plan.
Levi said he wants to go into solitary training and put me in charge of internal defense. This is definitely a godsend opportunity. As long as I transfer away all the guards near where he would be training, I’ll be able to take him in a surprise attack. Should I discuss this with Gloria?
Floyd started wavering. She previously advised me not to blame Levi, so she would likely stop me if I were to reveal such a plan to her rashly.
However, when he thought about how she was far more methodical, he still decided to inform her about it in the end. No sooner had he sent news to her than Gloria promptly replied.
She asked to meet Floyd before he acted to discuss an important matter with him. Wait for me, Gloria. I’ll rush over right away.
After replying to the message, Floyd quickly left the base and rushed to the designated meeting place. At the Glorian Order’s base, Gloria couldn’t help throwing her head back and cackling upon receiving the message.
“Haha… This useless creature, Floyd, indeed didn’t disappoint me. He has finally decided to make a move.” Smugness inundated her, for Floyd had always been a crucial pawn in the palm of her hand.
I never thought that he could still stab Levi in the back when hes now close to being cast aside. “How could such an insignificant character escape from you when you’re so ingenious, Lord Gloria?”
“Levi probably never would have imagined that his most valued disciple would stab him in the back!”
“Even if Floyd can’t kill Levi, he can still injure the man gravely by catching him off guard in a surprise attack with his current cultivation level.”
Xylas and the others stumbled over one another as they flattered her. Gloria was likewise feeling triumphant. Then, she turned to the old man beside her, who looked like a bag of bones.
“How’s the progress with the things I asked you to prepare, Bone Grandmaster?” she inquired. Back when she had first hatched the plan to use Floyd to stab Levi in the back, she had already given the order to make the necessary preparations.
After all, Levi was a pure physical cultivator and was at the consummate level at that. Even a fighter on par with him wouldn’t be able to do him any real damage with ordinary weapons, not to mention someone of Floyd’s capabilities.
“I’ve long since prepared everything, Lord Gloria.”
As Bone Grandmaster said that, he took out a customized short sword. If one were to look closely, one would notice a faint blue glow on the blade that appeared exceedingly strange.
“This is the poison I created painstakingly, Lord Gloria. It’s known as Divine Perish. It ranks second in the ancient Poison Handbook. As its name suggests, even divine beings would perish from it. Despite being a pure physical cultivator, Levi will be barely alive—if not dead—as long as the poison enters his body,” he explained confidently.
“Great job! Coupled with this powerful sword Grant provided, things will definitely go off without a hitch!” Gloria crowed, chuckling coldly.
