Female Novel
Chapter 1508
Levi closed his eyes for a rest without uttering any words. Since nobody trusts my words, I’d betterremain silent. Anyway, silence is golden.
The guard on duty gave him a sympathetic glance and let out a deep sigh. “It’s really not worthy of himto be stripped of his title as Crown King because of his impulsiveness!”
Many were overwhelmed to know that Levi was held captive in the detention chamber. Albus, Thierryand the others were convinced that there was something awry. They refused to believe that Levi hadturned into a cowardly deserter. Besides, it was out of their expectation that Malcolm would be killedone day.
Wilton and the others grieved for Malcolm’s death. They were mad with anger and claimed that Leviwas the culprit. Ever since then, Wilton bore a grudge against him. If not for Thierry, he would haveavenged Malcolm’s death by targeting Zoey. Where is justice? How could my son become the one tobe punished due to his desertion? My poor son was made a scapegoat because of him!
“Levi Garrison, don’t ever think that you can escape from me just because you are held captive at themoment! Once you are released later, I will settle a score with you!” Wilton bellowed.
Meanwhile, the Four Basilisks had started to discuss the matter of Crown King. They could foresee thatLevi would not easily give in and make a confession as demanded. Thus, sooner or later the title ofCrown King would belong to them. By then, even Eastern Hellhound and the other three from the FiveDragons of Erudia would be reverenced by others as well.
Others even suggested appointing Eastern Hellhound and the other three as imperial trainers so theycould contribute in cultivating talented new blood for Erudia. It would be a blessing for Erudia to havenew batches of young heroes like the Four Basilisks.
As for the thirty-eight surviving members of the Suicide Squad, Eastern Beast and the others actuallyintended to finish them off. Nevertheless, Western Monk stopped him from doing so as he did not wishto commit any more sins. After all, they had nothing to fear since they were currently in control of thethirty-eight survivors.
Apart from that, the Four Basilisks needed to keep them alive as witnesses who proved that they werethe ones who had slain the Northern Demon. Recently, they were aware that people started to doubttheir version of the story on the battle at the Ether training base. Some of them even suspected if thosemembers of the Suicide Squad were actually deserters.
The Four Basilisks started to feel the alarm bells ringing in their heads. They realized that they reliedvery much on the Suicide Squad to convince others by testifying for them.
Eastern Beast gazed at the surviving members of the Suicide Squad with a smirk. “Do you know why Ikeep all of you alive until now?”
When the Four Basilisks requested the Suicide Squad members to testify for them earlier, all of themwere reluctant.
“Fine, if you still don’t agree, don’t blame me if I can’t be assured of the safety of your family members.Ah! You have an adorable child who is three years old, right? Both of your parents are in their old ages,and you…” Eastern Beast continued to threaten them one by one.
“You will die a horrible death!” the Suicide Squad members gritted and cussed. They had no choice andended up testifying for the Four Basilisks. After that, nobody brought up the topic anymore or doubtedthe Four Basilisks’ words.
As time elapsed, Levi was still held captive in the detention chamber. He refused to give in by admittinghis so-called mistake. Even though the guard had stopped bringing him food and drinks a few daysago, he was cool as ever.
“What’s the matter, Levi Garrison is still oblivious to his wrong deed?” one of the council members ofthe Dragonites raised his voice.
“The Crown King does not feel guilty at all and insisted that he did not do anything wrong!” the guardreported to them respectfully.
“Damn it! How dare he challenge us! Alright, tell him that we will only give him three more days. If hestill refuses to admit his mistake, we will strip him of his title as Crown King!”
Upon hearing the council members’ words, the Four Basilisks were over the moon. They were surethey would be coronated as the new Crown Kings once Levi was stripped of his title.
Eastern Hellhound and the other three stroked their beard as they nodded in utter satisfaction. Theyreally looked forward to seeing their disciples’ success and coronated as Crown Kings.
Nonetheless, Levi only smiled disdainfully upon hearing the threatening words and remained silent.Soon, it was the day of the deadline set for him.novelbin
