Chapter 3822 All At Once
The journey was silent, and the crowd finally arrived back at the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect after a few days of hurrying. It was located within the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, its building large and magnificent.
Levi instantly unleashed his energy to run a check on Eclipse Sect. He felt many powerful auras within the group, thus getting a rough idea of its combined abilities.
“There’s no need to lurk around in the dark anymore,” he commented, unable to contain his laughter. These so-called fighters from Astre Lune Sect posed no threat to him at all.
Cheriette brought Levi to meet the sect’s council members as well as its leader right away. She naturally wanted to win his approval since such a formidable fighter like him was sure to bring their group’s power to the next level.
The leader of Astre Lune Sect, Quirina Morell, wanted to meet him personally after learning about how he had saved Cheriette and obtained the dragon ley line.
She was seated in the middle of the guest hall. She looked like she was in her thirties despite actually being past fifty years old.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the woman changed the subject. “Is there something you have in mind, Mr. Garrison?”
“I do, actually. I’m just not sure if you’d agree to it,” Levi answered with a chuckle.
Quirina froze momentarily. “What could you mean by that?” she asked, looking perplexed.
“It’s quite simple, in fact.” The man rose to his feet slowly and smiled. “Let me be the leader of Astre Lune Sect from now on.”
The entire hall went into an uproar after a brief moment of silence.
“What a joke! Does he really think he’s invincible just after killing a few guys from Eclipse Academy? Now, he’s trying to seize our group?”
“You’ve gone too far, Levi Garrison! We may not be a top sect, but you still have a long way to go before trying to rule us!”
“Those mere words coming out of your mouth would’ve caused you your death if you hadn’t saved Empyrean Cheriette!”
Many of the sect’s council members began to rebuke Levi, some even getting up and preparing to attack him.
Quirina narrowed her eyes.
“You’re not joking, are you, Mr. Garrison?” she asked, her voice sounding chilly and void of the amiability it once had.
A dangerous aura slowly emanated from the woman’s body alongside her change in attitude.
Cheriette was horrified. She didn’t expect Levi to make such an outrageous request.
Although the two hadn’t spent much time interacting with each other, she could tell he was the type who kept to his word.
Now that Levi was planning to take over the sect, there was no avoiding a war.
“How about we make a bet, then?” the man offered, disregarding the energy being released by the council members around him. “If you can defeat me, I’ll serve you from then on. But if you can’t, you’ll have to make me the new leader. Of course, if you choose neither option, I’m going to wipe out the entire sect.”
The audience could no longer contain their rage.
This is preposterous! He doesn’t give a d*mn about us at all!
Quirina silenced the crowd with a wave of a hand.
“Do you mean what you say, Mr. Garrison?”
She felt that if he were serious, it was worth the gamble.
It didn’t matter what methods they used or how many people they employed; if they could defeat Levi, that would mean gaining an extremely valuable comrade.
As the saying goes, an army of a thousand is easily obtained, but a good general is hard to find. Such was no exception even in Kenfort.
“Of course I do,” Levi replied sternly. “It looks like you’ve made your decision, Lord Morell.”
“Very well. It’s a deal.” To be on the safe side, Quirina added, “You won’t say we’re being unfair if we all attack you at the same time, will you?”
“Not at all. Come at me all at once,” Levi said with a smirk.
