Chapter 3702 Doubting Floyd
Floyd breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. That’s the best thing I’ve heard from Phoenix recently. Phoenix is one of the most influential members at the base because she’s good at analyzing situations. Now, everyone’s going to think that the assassin was a fighter from Kenfort.
“Tell everyone at the base to strengthen our defense and activate all the defensive formations. We have to be prepared for an ambush from the tripartite alliance.” Floyd knew his chance to shine had arrived. Now that everyone is panicking, the calmer I am, the more people will trust me. I need to start paving my way toward being the leader of the base.
Indeed, a lot of people started to look at Floyd differently. Even Azure Dragon and the others, who had just had a fallout with Floyd, were starting to see him in a different light. They didn’t expect Floyd to be so calm under such circumstances.
Spurt! Right then, Levi spat out a mouthful of blood. “Master, how are you feeling?” Floyd quickly rushed up to him to take a closer look. He noticed that there was a hint of purple in the mouthful of blood Levi just spat out.
The blood had a pungent smell so bad that some of the people nearby—who were less capable in terms of combat prowess—felt dizzy when they smelled it.
Even Floyd was affected and fell into a daze for a moment. No wonder Divine Perish is ranked second in the Poison Handbook. It’s still so potent after getting mixed with blood.
At that moment, Levi looked deathly pale, and his breathing had gotten weaker. “Levi!”
“Daddy!”
“Boss!” Everyone approached Levi anxiously.
“All of you, leave! There’s nothing the lot of you can do here.” Zoey chased everyone out. She looked so worn out that it was as if she had just aged a dozen years.
With that, everyone left the secret room. Floyd then proceeded to set up the defenses at the base. Again, he made his presence known among the other members.
After he was done with the arrangements, he went to a secluded place to contact Gloria. Not only did he tell her that he had successfully ambushed Levi, but he was also bragging about his performance at the base.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Glorian Order in Corpse Pit, Gloria told everyone about what Floyd had reported to her. “Great! He’s done well! I can’t believe he actually succeeded!”
“Levi, I bet you never expected to get betrayed by your most valued disciple, right?” Gloria laughed in cruel delight. “Master, has that idiot Floyd really done it?” Xylas was doubtful. “Do you think it’s true?”
Before Gloria could respond, Bone Grandmaster uttered, “It has to be.”
“How are you so sure, Bone Grandmaster?” Gloria asked. In fact, Gloria doubted Floyd as well. Although he won’t lie to me, I know Levi is a cunning man. For all I know, Levi could be acting!
“Lord Gloria, you just relayed Floyd’s message. The description of Levi’s state matches the description of a person infected by Divine Perish.” Bone Grandmaster paused and continued, “He couldn’t have faked the effect. Besides, Floyd mentioned the peculiar smell of Levi’s blood. The smell is there because the blood has been affected by Divine Perish. Hence, I know Levi has truly been poisoned. Even if he ends up surviving by relying on his pure physique training, Divine Perish has already severely harmed him. There’s no way he can return to his best shape in a short period of time.”
“Oh, I see!” Those words had eliminated all of Gloria’s doubts. “It seems that improving Floyd’s cultivation during this period has worked wonders. However, Levi was courting death. He shouldn’t have gone into solitary training right before the war. By doing that, he had given Floyd the chance to strike.”
“Master, since that’s the case, should we act on the base next?” Xylas questioned.
