Levi closed his eyes for a rest without uttering any words. Since nobody trusts my words, I’d better remain 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 him to 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, Thierry and the
others were convinced that there was something awry. They refused to believe that Levi had turned into a cowardly
deserter. Besides, it was out of their expectation that Malcolm would be killed one day.
Wilton and the others grieved for Malcolm’s death. They were mad with anger and claimed that Levi was the
culprit. Ever since then, Wilton bore a grudge against him. If not for Thierry, he would have avenged Malcolm’s
death by targeting Zoey. Where is justice? How could my son become the one to be 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 the moment!

Meanwhile, the Four Basilisks had started to discuss the matter of Crown King. They could foresee that Levi would
not easily give in and make a confession as demanded. Thus, sooner or later the title of Crown King would belong to
them. By then, even Eastern Hellhound and the other three from the Five Dragons of Erudia would be reverenced
by others as well.
Others even suggested appointing Eastern Hellhound and the other three as imperial trainers so they could
contribute in cultivating talented new blood for Erudia. It would be a blessing for Erudia to have new batches of
young heroes like the Four Basilisks.
As for the thirty-eight surviving members of the Suicide Squad, Eastern Beast and the others actually intended to
finish them off. Nevertheless, Western Monk stopped him from doing so as he did not wish to commit any more
sins. After all, they had nothing to fear since they were currently in control of the thirty-eight survivors.
Apart from that, the Four Basilisks needed to keep them alive as witnesses who proved that they were the ones who
had slain the Northern Demon. Recently, they were aware that people started to doubt their version of the story on
the battle at the Ether training base. Some of them even suspected if those members of the Suicide Squad were
actually deserters.
The Four Basilisks started to feel the alarm bells ringing in their heads. They realized that they relied very 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 I keep all of
you alive until now?”
When the Four Basilisks requested the Suicide Squad members to testify for them earlier, all of them were
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 and ended up
testifying for the Four Basilisks. After that, nobody brought up the topic anymore or doubted the Four Basilisks’

As time elapsed, Levi was still held captive in the detention chamber. He refused to give in by admitting his so-
called mistake. Even though the guard had stopped bringing him food and drinks a few days ago, he was cool as
ever.
“What’s the matter, Levi Garrison is still oblivious to his wrong deed?” one of the council members of the
Dragonites raised his voice.
“The Crown King does not feel guilty at all and insisted that he did not do anything wrong!” the guard reported to
them respectfully.
“Damn it! How dare he challenge us! Alright, tell him that we will only give him three more days. If he still 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 sure they 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. They really 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.
