After all, Levi had blown things out of proportion.
They could punish him however they pleased.
“Are you here to reward me?” Levi asked.
“You! How stubborn!”
His question enraged them.
Levi has killed people and ruined Hidden Dragon. How dare he ask for a reward! Is he out of his mind? Does he
know what he’s doing?
Levi was stunned by their response.
I’ve done Erudia a great favor. Not only are they not going to reward me, but they blame me for no reason.
“We’re furious! To be honest, you’ve stirred up such a huge trouble. In fact, you’re destroying the fate and future of
Erudia!”
The men shot daggers at him.

However, they interrupted him mid-sentence.
“Cut the nonsense! We’re not here to listen to your excuses. You’ve murdered people, and you should be punished
for your wrongdoings!”
“Alright then. I’ll see how you’re going to punish me,” Levi sniggered.
“According to the rules, you’re utterly doomed. However, considering your previous contributions to Erudia, we
decided to give you a second chance. If you admit your fault publicly and apologize, we will not hold you
accountable for this matter.”
The corner of Levi’s lips quirked up. “What if I don’t do it?”
“Otherwise, you’ll be sentenced to life imprisonment. We’ll give you three days to mull things over. As long as you
apologize, we won’t pursue this matter anymore. I hope you’ll stop being so bullheaded!”
Unexpectedly, Levi let out a snicker. “Hah! Fine! Is this the second time already? Back then, you believed in some
scumbags and locked me up, demanding me to take the fall. That really broke my heart! This time, you did it again,
asking me to take the blame! Hahaha! It’s exactly the same as the last time.”
A rueful smile appeared on Levi’s face.
His words baffled everyone present.
He was right, but that time, it was Four Basilisks who told lies.
Nevertheless, Levi did kill people this time. Besides, he had ruined Hidden Dragon.
“Levi, that’s not true! Do you have any proof?” the crowd asked.
“Go back and investigate Xaire, and you’ll know the truth.”
“Hmph! We’ll look for you three days later. Hopefully, we won’t be putting you in jail then!”
Everyone left after reminding him.
Levi’s advice about investigating Xaire fell on deaf ears.
They were adamant that Levi was at fault.
Even if there were shreds of evidence, they wouldn’t bother looking for them, as they only believed their own eyes
and ears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Levi couldn’t care less about their sudden appearance and warning.
Why should I admit it’s my fault? What have I done wrong? There’s no way they can imprison me. Who has the
power to do so? Yes, I killed someone. So what? The ones I killed are wicked! I’d like to see who has the guts to lock
me up.
At Hidden Dragon’s training base.
Xaire and the other disciples had a new instructor and continued training, but there was obviously no result at all.
The situation was poles apart from the time when Filipe and Luther were around.
Infuriated, every single one of them wished they could kill Levi right now.
“Isn’t his punishment too light? He can get away by just apologizing! That’s not fair!” Xaire and the rest protested in
annoyance.
Right then, something unexpected happened.
Out of the blue, the color drained from Xaire’s face as the man broke out in a cold sweat. Feeling feeble, he was on
the verge of collapsing.
The others experienced the same symptoms as well.
The side effects of Filipe’s drug had kicked in.
