Chapter 3960 Bearer Of Ill Luck
The reason Gloria was able to uncover solid leads on the robber that quickly was because of the immense expansion of her influence back then.
The primary faction helping her was Fatalis Warriors, led by Xylas and Wade. They successfully traced the robber’s track back to Prime Association in Lightspring, which was the last location the robber was spotted.
While high-rank officials in Prime Association kept a tight lip on Levi’s and the others’ identities, no information in the world was absolutely secure.
Furthermore, there were plenty of fighters from other sects who witnessed the battle that nearly broke out between Levi and Prime Association’s fighters back then.
It wasn’t difficult to get insider information from those fighters, especially when benefits were involved.
Therefore, Xylas was able to identify Cheriette as one of the robber’s accomplices in a short amount of time.
Upon learning the news, Gloria speedily recalled that the last known location of the members of Eclipse Academy before they disappeared was Astre Lune Sect.
Thus, she focused her investigation on Astre Lune Sect.
In the past, she probably wouldn’t have succeeded.
Following the news of Levi’s death in Dragon’s Grave Valley, two distinct opinions about what to do next gradually emerged in Astre Lune Sect.
While Quirina tried her best to placate everyone, she ultimately failed to control the sect completely.
In the end, Gloria’s subordinates managed to unearth a piece of crucial information—the robber had seized control of Astre Lune Sect.
Without delay, Gloria submitted the news to Walden.
Smack!
When Walden slapped the table made of tough, purple crystals, it shattered.
“That b*stard! How dare Astre Lune Sect abet the robber! I’m going to crush them into dust!” he roared.
Anger was already bottled inside him when many of the members he sent to apprehend the robber returned empty-handed. He was glad he finally had something to take his wrath out on.
“Please calm down, Lord Slabey. There’s no need for you to destroy such a weak enemy. I’m willing to lead a team of elites to eliminate the robber’s accomplices,” Gloria offered on her own accord again.
After a brief moment of silent contemplation, he agreed with her suggestion. With an elated tone, he praised, “You’ve done very well, Gloria. Once you return from exterminating Astre Lune Sect, I’ll personally hold a celebration for your achievements.”
He was surprised Gloria was able to uncover so many details in just a month. At the same time, it made him think even more highly of her.
“You can rest assured that I won’t disappoint you, Lord Slabey,” Gloria replied.
After her conversation with him, she gathered many fighters in preparation for attacking Astre Lune Sect. She was going to use that battle to strengthen her position in Eclipse.
Meanwhile, Astre Lune Sect had received news that they were about to be eliminated.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was dreary and quiet, like the calm before the storm.
Quirina sat in the middle while wearing a horrid grimace.
“This is your fault, Lord Morell. You refused to listen to us, and now, it’s too late to ask Eclipse for forgiveness.”
“What should we do? While the people attacking us this time don’t belong to Walden, I heard they are a team handpicked by the new Empyrean.”
“The new Empyrean is rumored to be exceptionally talented and that she easily defeated all her opponents during the selection. Her strength is unquestionably greater than Larissa’s.”
“With her leading a team of elites from Eclipse, there’s no way we can win.”
Various high-rank officials were unable to hide their panic as they discussed the matter.
Quirina was at her wit’s end, and the depressing conversation didn’t help. Of course, she was aware Astre Lune Sect would be doomed the moment Eclipse attacked.
“If you ask me, I say this is all Levi’s fault! We tried preventing him from entering our sect back then, but he threatened to destroy us!”
“Now that he’s gone, he’s letting us deal with the sh*tty mess that he left behind! Ridiculous!”
“That’s right! Levi’s a bearer of ill luck! He disappeared right after he got into big trouble and forced us to clean up after him!”
The crowd continued to admonish Levi furiously.
