Chapter 2373 A White Lie

A different voice rang.

Everyone present traced the origin of the voice.

It was Floyd.

“Hmm? Why not?” Levi asked.

“Boss, we have no qualms handing over our technique books to you. However, we are not comfortablewith exposing our trump cards to others. Clearly, everything about our techniques will be made knownto others. I have to say that I’m not confident with that, not even to Garrison Industry!” Floyd admitted.

“Yes, we’re not comfortable with handing over everything to others. There’s really no guarantee to thesecurity of our data,” said the others as they voiced out their concerns.

After all, Garrison Industry was not only owned by a selected few like Azure Dragon.

It was only natural that they felt that the risk was too great to bear.

Azure Dragon then said, “What if we just gather a few technique books among us, and then a few morefrom others? That should already make up to more than a hundred techniques to be converted intodata points. This will be a safer way, no?”

Levi nodded his head. “Yes, that should work. Though the sample size was smaller, it should show thesame distribution.”

“Great, then we’ll go get ready. The rest of you may rest assured.”

Azure Dragon led Kirin and the others and left.

After they were out of Levi’s earshot, the rest of them questioned Azure Dragon, “Are you sure aboutgathering all our technique books for research purposes?”

“Do you really believe in what boss said?”

Azure Dragon merely smiled and said, “Of course not. It’s just something a relief measure. Otherwise,we’d be still at a stalemate with the others.”

“So, you sacrificed yourself to side with boss and agreed with the data analytics proposal only toappease him for the time being?”

The others were awestruck at his brilliance.

Azure Dragon continued to analyze the situation to them and said, “So, it’s set then. We’re not going forthe data analytics route for sure.” He had reckoned that it would be a white elephant project anyway. Ifwhat Levi said was true, people ranking at the top of Divine Leaderboard would already have realizedthat something was not quite right.

They wouldn’t need Levi to point it out. After all, Azure Dragon knew that his boss’ powers were quitelimited, and it would be impossible for him to have mastered all the techniques.

Otherwise, why would he rank only over three thousand on the Provisional Leaderboard?

In a worried tone, Phoenix asked, “Will boss get mad when he knew we didn’t walk our talk?”

“I’ve given up on everything now. I’m only going to concentrate on the basic technique that he’s goingto teach me. I will take all the responsibility if he really blames us for not listening to him!” Azure Dragonsaid in a resigned manner.

“Azure Dragon, it’s been hard on you. You’ve sacrificed yourself to save all of us!”

Kirin and the others patted him on the shoulder.

“It’s all right. I know that I have the least talent among us all. So, it’s really a no-brainer that I should bethe one to give up my technique. Keep on practicing guys. It’s going to be hard on you guys when youhave one less person carrying the team,” Azure Dragon said with a smile.

“Yes, we will try our best to perfect our techniques. We’ll see if the boss’ claim about our technique’sself-destruction was true.”

Everyone was quite positive that Levi’s claim was groundless, and they were eager to prove himwrong.

Meanwhile, Levi was giving orders to Sacred Organization as Dark Emperor.

He instructed Sacred Organization which controlled more than a third of the world’s forces to renouncepracticing their techniques.

However, there were simply too many parties involved.

It was not practical to ban the practice of the technique in one go.

Levi knew he could only go step by step in the matter, especially since he would be met with strongprotests from the people.

People like Asura from the Erudian Alliance surely would be skeptical.

Besides, since he had already mentioned it to them, Levi knew that they would surely grow suspicious.

Hence, Levi had not given the instruction to Sacred Organization hastily as well.

Instead, he only asked Death Fiend to enforce the ban gradually.

He did not wish for people from Lab of Gods or others to know.novelbin

Hence, those who had received the instruction only renounced the technique quietly while they stillopenly claim that they were practicing.

As for the forces that formed the Erudian Alliance, Levi thought it was not yet the time to inform them.

“What are you getting at, exactly?”
