Chapter 2408 Trembling At His Name
Edmund was no different as he too was traumatized by the beating Kuroki gave him.
That was also the first defeat he had ever experienced in his life.
He had unleashed all the techniques of The Cardinal Hall, including the organization’s
secret moves.
Unfortunately, everything he did was futile in the face of the Iron Golem Technique.
Having been utterly thrashed by Kuroki, the only emotion he felt was despair.
The moment he heard Kuroki’s name, his body shuddered in fear as cold sweat broke out
on his forehead.
“Queenie, don’t worry. Kuroki is here just to spar, not to kill you.”
The moment he finished, Edmund fled.
The rest of the warriors were in more miserable conditions than Edmund was. Their faces
had lost all color while they were drenched in cold sweat. Many of them were even
hobbling as they fled.
Kuroki’s name alone was enough to scare the living daylights out of them.
In a blink of an eye, everyone who came to lay blame on Levi vanished because they no
longer had the courage to face Kuroki at all.

If they ever saw him again, they would likely be traumatized for life.
Therefore, all of them fled at the mention of Kuroki’s name.
Meanwhile, Levi was shocked by their response.
“Hey, don’t go. I’ll show you how I’m going to whoop their ass. Don’t leave…”
Levi tried to grab those he knew.
Unfortunately, all of them bolted like horses that had been let out of the stable.
“You can go ahead and die alone. As for us, we are terrified of Kuroki.”
With that, all of them ran, leaving only Queenie and Levi at the scene.
Mia and Cyrus were also present. However, they weren’t aware of what was going on
outside given that they were in solitary training.
“Why are they so terrified? This is hilarious!”
Levi was amused.
Stroking his chin, he remarked, “I’ll need an excuse to kill both master and disciple later.
What should I say? Are they wreaking havoc in Erudia? However, they have only gone
around challenging others and haven’t killed anyone nor caused any suffering yet. Hence,
this excuse doesn’t seem good enough. Wait, I have it…”
Levi finally thought of a good reason to take out Kuroki and his disciple.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Having not heard a word from her, Levi realized Queenie had been quiet the entire day.
When he turned to look, he saw that she had already turned pale and was trembling
uncontrollably as if she was beset by a serious disease.
Evidently, she was terrified by everyone’s response, especially that of her brother.
Edmund was a proud man, who had never been defeated before. Therefore, his reaction
made a big impact on her.
Other than their father, Edmund didn’t see anyone else as his equal.
In fact, he didn’t even know what fear was.
Hence, when she saw how scared he was of Kuroki, Queenie could deduce how terrifyingly
powerful Kuroki was.
Consequently, she was equally seized by fear.
As the last person on the Divine Leaderboard to be challenged, she had inadvertently
become Erudia’s last line of defense.
If she were to be defeated, it would mean all of Erudia’s champions on the Divine

With such a heavy burden on her shoulders, and the fact everyone else was frightened to
death, Queenie felt as if she would collapse under the immense pressure.
In fact, she felt as if her soul had already left her body.
Levi was dumbfounded.
Kuroki isn’t even here, and you’re already panicking? What happened to that arrogant
character of yours? Aren’t you extremely powerful? Isn’t your father invincible? Why are
you so terrified? Furthermore, your father instructed The Cardinal Hall not to get involved
because he knows that I’ll deal with it sooner or later. Even he realizes that Kuroki isn’t a
threat at all. That’s why he isn’t worried. What a bunch of ignorant fools.
“You’re not the one who is being challenged. Of course, you’re not afraid. You have no idea
what we’ll be facing after all!” Queenie retorted.
Soon, Levi and her could sense that something was approaching.
Boom!
An intimidating aura suddenly enveloped the surroundings.
Just like a crashing meteor, it felt as if it could obliterate North Hampton.
Having heard the noise, Queenie trembled with greater intensity.
