“Any objections from anyone?” Avery asked.
Everyone turned to look at one another and came to a consensus. “We agree to your proposal. That is the only way
we can save Wildefield.”
“That’s right! We should not take such a risk for Levi.”
“Moreover, even if we hand over the kid, The Cardinal Hall is not going to hurt her.”
So it was decided that Wildefield would hand over Forlevia and her family.
Once the decision was made, Avery rushed out to inform The Cardinal Hall. And within a few hours, the army from
The Cardinal Hall arrived at Wilderfield.
They immediately escorted Forlevia, Emma, and Mia out of Wildefield and headed straight to The Cardinal Hall, not
leaving any opportunity for Levi to intercept them.
That was a twist of event that Levi had not thought of.
“Excuse me, Sirs, but would Levi come after us over this matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery and his team were worried Levi would seek them out and kill them after he got to know about their decision
to send Forlevia away.
“Don’t worry. Levi would not get to live beyond today. We have already identified his hiding place and the elite team
from The Cardinal Hall is after him. However, if you are worried, we can provide a hiding place for you.”
“That would be great!”
With that agreement, Avery led his followers into hiding while the warriors from The Cardinal Hall brought Forlevia
away from Wildefield.
“I thought the kid was kidnapped by some foreigners. Little did I know Levi had staged that act to deceive us!”
Zelda brooded.
“Now we see the true colors of Fiery Demon’s heir! Not only does he practice dark skills in order to achieve
unbelievable prowess, but he is also good at cunning deceitful acts as well. What a terror!” Kaiden gasped.
“Well, now that we have his mother and kid in our hands, let’s see how arrogant Levi can be!” Zelda gloated.
“Our men are already after him. It would be perfect if they can kill him off. In the event they failed, we can use his
mother and daughter as a bargaining chip to force him into surrender. But we are not unscrupulous people out to
kidnap them in order to blackmail him. Our intention is to protect his family from harm,” she added in self-
justification, and her fellow teammates slyly smiled, pleased with the plan.
In the meantime, Levi brought Okano to a deserted place. Just as he was about to interrogate Okano, he got news
from his men.
“What? Avery handed Forlevia to The Cardinal Hall?” he exclaimed in shock.
He had positioned some men around Wildefield to guard Forlevia. However, The Cardinal Hall sent a formidable
army over and they made an effort to embark on their mission stealthily, so by the time his men detected their
move, it was too late.
“You are in big trouble, Avery!” Levi roared, startling Okano.
Levi had not foreseen the weak link to be Wildefield, but it was also due to the unexpected issuance of The Cardinal
Order, or TCO in short. It was unlikely Avery would have made that drastic decision to let go of Forlevia if not for
TCO.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLevi did not feel assured entrusting his family to The Cardinal Hall, so he had to get them out of that place.
However, he had no intention of engaging The Cardinal Hall in a head-on clash as that would be exactly what their
foes wanted to see.
If he could figure out and expose the plots of Raysonia before meeting The Cardinal Hall, that might help prevent
the foreseeable bloodshed.
“Tell me who is the mastermind! Otherwise, you will regret it!” Levi turned toward Okano and howled.
Seeing his desperation, Okano laughed out loud instead.
“That information does not matter anymore. We have already activated our second stage of action! Moreover, now
you are in deep trouble yourself, so do you think you have the ability to protect other people?” he hooted.
“What? The second stage of action?” Levi frowned at that revelation as it meant serious trouble ahead.
“That’s right! Because of the issuance of TCO, we brought forward our second stage of action. Hehehe… Levi, how
are you going to decide? Do you want to protect your family or your country? What is your choice?” Okano gleefully
asked.
“What is that second stage of action? Tell me!” Levi yelled at Okano in desperation.
