Chapter 1866 – 1870
The reason Levi lost to Zoey was because he wanted to see how strong he was.
He could use his skills and speed to dodge his punches and escape unscathed. Moreover, if he had executed the Forbidden Technique, Zoey would have been destroyed.
Although Wynona had urged him to unleash his full strength, he held her back. After all, Zoey was his wife, so how could he bear to hit her at full strength?
Anyone who truly knows his abilities will know that he will not lose unless he does so on purpose.
Indeed, he was injured, but the reason for his injury was different.
Huh huh?
The gathered crowd was confused by his words and attitude. They were unable to understand how someone who was seriously injured could be so arrogant as to underestimate them all.
“Stop this arrogant act! You're a loser and a loser from Robed Slayer! You are nobody now!”
"That's right! Don't forget you're hurt. Even if you are not injured, the Robed Slayer can easily destroy you again. You still have to bend. ”
“Let me give you advice. Come with us to The Cardinal Hall. Don't make a fuss, and you will avoid more suffering.”
Levi struggled to sit down and looked at the crowd with disdain.
"You don't think you can escape so many of us, do you?"
“Stop daydreaming!”
All of the top soldiers of The Cardinal Hall and Eragon gathered in Oakland City, so there was no way Levi had managed to escape from them.
“Let's put that aside. I have something to tell you all!" Levi suddenly changed the subject.
“Stop babbling. Are you trying to buy time?” Kaiden and his team are getting impatient.
"hold. Let him talk!” A thunderous voice from the crowd, and Kaiden and his team immediately stepped aside respectfully.
Kaiden and his team-mates are from The Inferno, which is in charge of handling emergencies and gathering intelligence. In short, they were in charge of the daily operations of The Cardinal Hall.
The person speaking was the deputy leader of The Inferno, codenamed The Dark Lord.
Compared to Kaiden and his team, he was much higher up in The Inferno's hierarchy, and his wish was their command.
"Speak! I'd like to hear what you're saying! ” The Dark Lord looked at Levi and said.
“What I want to say is that this is part of the Raysonia conspiracy. They had already put forward their second stage action! If you waste your attention and time on me, it will bring disaster to Erudia and our martial arts world!”
Levi went on to tell them everything he knew about Raysonia's plans.
“As the most powerful organization in Erudia, The Cardinal Hall should investigate this matter!” he urges.
"Continue your high story!"
"Yes! Let's see what other lies you can find. I never expected you would try to get out of this that way. You are really disappointing! ”
Although Levi shared everything he knew and all the facts he gave made sense, not many people were willing to believe him. They felt he was looking for a reason to get out of trouble.
Even the Dark Lord hesitated to believe it.
“I have proof to support me! I caught one of the key members of the Raysonia gang. You can interrogate and find out from him directly. I don't want a confrontation with you right now. Let me bring him here, and the truth will be revealed. ”
Hearing that, everyone laughed.
“Oh Levi, do you think we are stupid? Let you go so you can take him? Do you think it's possible? ”
"That's right! This bastard is taking us for a walk! Tie him!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and none of them noticed a man quietly sneaking away from the scene.
It was a Ghost Samurai!
He secretly joined the crowd and when he heard Levi had hidden Okano in another location, he immediately left.
"Forget over! I'm wasting my breath!" Levi said as he slowly stood up from the ground. He knew he had to fight his way out after all.
"What's? You still thinking of fighting? Don't you want to see your son, Levi?”
Pfft!
One question was enough to make the confident Levi instantly feel despair, his body trembling uncontrollably.
She doesn't know how Zoey is. His mother, daughter, and Mia were all in the hands of The Cardinal Hall.
It was a very challenging time for him.
“Don't worry, Levi. Your family's fine at The Cardinal Hall. Even though you are the heir of the Fiery Demon, that doesn't mean they will look the same! Your children and sisters are very talented and have been accepted as our students. Forlevia, with her rare talent, would be groomed as a future leader. Nevertheless, I feel you should visit them, "The Dark Lord slyly commented.
Everyone present had great respect for The Cardinal Hall, praising them for being generous towards that famous demon family. His family must be eliminated as well.
However, if one were to read the implied, especially his last sentence, one would understand it just the opposite.
Urging Levi to visit his son and mother could have a double meaning. Literally, he says that Levi The Cardinal Hall takes good care of his family. His hidden meaning is that his family is in their hands and he should do as he is told. It was actually blackmail in disguise.
Your mother and your son are in our hands. Don't you dare fight us! That's the real message they're trying to convey.
Levi can only answer without power, “Sure! I want to see my mother and son.”
He had no choice because he understood the veiled threat, and hence, he had to submit to them.
No matter what happens, he cannot risk the lives of his mother and son.
It is more important to see for yourself that they are safe.
He plans to go to The Cardinal Hall first, hoping he can save Forlevia, Emma, and Mia.
Before leaving with the Dark Lord and the other warriors of The Cardinal Hall, Levi secretly left clues for the Seven Demons, in order for them to know his whereabouts.
Levi had many urgent matters to resolve at that moment.
In addition to the safety of her family in The Cardinal Hall, Zoey is her other concern, but at least she has Wynona to protect her. Levi had already seen Wynona's impressive combat abilities and knew other than the top three on the Gem List, there was no one else suitable for her.
Another serious concern is the actions of the second stage mentioned Okano ...
Too many urgent things needed his attention, so he had to plan his movements carefully.
“Take Levi away! We will announce the findings of our investigation and decision the other day,”The Dark Lord ordered, and Kaiden and his teammates stepped forward and took Levi away.
Tens of thousands of people witnessed his arrest.
“Hahaha... Finally justice is served!”
“The heir of Fiery Demon is captured! This is the end of evil forces!”
“Today is one of the proudest moments in Erudia history!”
The crowd exploded with cheers and loud applause.
News of The Cardinal Hall's success in capturing the heir to the Fiery Demon, who was ranked second on the Gem List, instantly made headlines in Erudia.
The news also made a scene in the international world.
Those who pride themselves as a true camp are very excited and go into celebration mode.
On every corner, one could see people celebrating the arrest of Levi, a symbol of evil.
“The truth will always win! This is the destiny of the one who does evil!”
“Give yourself! The Cardinal Hall will chase after all of you!”
"Ha huh! Robed Slayer can finish off Levi, so what are the other cult members to him? He can easily crush you like an ant! You better give up. ”
Everyone mocked the Seven Devils and their followers.
The news of Levi's fall was warmly welcomed by Bruce and the Raysonia officials.
Bruce secretly brings back his loot from Erudia to Zarain, and Raysonia is getting ready to launch the second stage of their mad plan.
Wynona knows the situation is very worrying, so she takes Zoey and Okano to a very remote hideout.
"What's wrong with you, Zoey?" she was crying worried.
And suddenly, Zoey opened her eyes!
“Zoy!” Wynona carefully moves away from Zoey.
He intuitively tensed up and went into combat ready mode. Clearly, after witnessing Zoey's shocking ability, she became scared and wary of him. He knows if Zoey goes into that crazy mode again, he won't be able to stop her.
Okano, who was with them, had fear written all over her face, worried that Zoey would get scared and kill her with a single blow.
Wynona's reaction left Zoey confused, so she asked, “What's the matter, Ms. Wilcox?” There was a look of confusion in his eyes.
He seemed to be returning to his gentle self, with no sign of the previous ferocious beast within him.
Wynona is completely confused and even begins to wonder if she had hallucinations before, and that Zoey's monster doesn't exist at all.
are you okay, Zoey? he anxiously asked.
“I feel fine. What's wrong? I thought I was dreaming, and I was fighting with someone in that dream.” Zoey was massaging her head, and trying hard to remember. He had a very faint impression but could not remember what had happened.
Her power also seemed to have been drastically reduced compared to before, as Wynona could not feel much energy on her. This was Zoey whom he knew and knew.
"Did you not remember what happened before?" Wynona asked in surprise.
“No, I can't. What's going on?" ask Zoey.
“You just got into a battle. You fight with ... some bad guys, and then you pass out. ” Wynona barely mentioned Levi's name, but she managed to stop herself in time. She remembers the name that triggered Zoey and made her go berserk.
She did not dare to mention that name again in the presence of Zoey, as no one could stop her if she went crazy again.
"Zoey, do you feel uncomfortable?" Wynona.
Zoey stopped to check her own feelings, then shook her head and said, “I don't feel strange or different. Before, I seemed to have some mental block in my mind, but it was gone! I must thank you for bringing the doctors to treat me!”
Gone off? He has recovered? How did that happen?
Wynona is confused, because she knows Bruce is not a doctor, and she is there with an evil motive to drive Zoey crazy.
“What can you remember, Zoey? Can you remember something?” Wynona continues her investigation.
There was a void in his memory. It was as if someone had taken some of her memories of her husband.
Huh huh? She can't remember Levi? What the hell's going on?
Wynona's dumbfounded!
What happens is Bruce tries to stimulate Zoey's brain into overdrive, causing the two consciousnesses within him to clash. He wants to help Jared's consciousness prevail over Zoey, so that he can take over her mind and thus control her body as well.
However, that was not the case as Jared only had a portion of his consciousness transferred to Zoey. In addition, Zoey is a strong-minded person, so when the two clash, Zoey wins. Jared's consciousness assimilated into Zoey's consciousness and ceased to exist.
However, there are side effects. Jared's remaining consciousness turns into hatred and takes root in Zoey's mind. The person she hated the most was Levi, so the end result was Zoey unknowingly seeing Levi as her greatest enemy.
It was like a command given to Zoey—'s brainkill Levi!
With that assimilation, Zoey loses all memory of her husband, and Levi becomes her greatest enemy.
That was the reason why he went berserk and went into murder mode as soon as his name was mentioned or when he saw it.
“Calm down, Zoey. You will be fine after a good break.” Wynona quickly comforted him.
As for Levi, after being taken away by The Cardinal Hall, he did not get the chance to see Forlevia. They lied to him.
The Dark Lord did not bring Levi back to The Cardinal Hall. Instead, he was taken to a villa on the outskirts of Oakland City.
The place looked like a vacation home, but in truth, it was one of The Cardinal Hall's secret bases.
Housed in the basement of the villa was their intelligence piece, staffed by many highly skilled warriors. There is also a prison there.
Levi was blindfolded as they transported him, and when his blindfold was removed, he found himself in prison.
It was a carefully designed and very safe prison that was almost impossible to get out of.
He could forget the prison break.
“I think you brought me to my family. Where's them?" She asked.
“Don't forget now you are the most wanted prisoner in The Cardinal Hall. Do you think you can make demands and give orders?”
“If you keep good, we will not only let you meet your daughter and mother, but we will also make sure they have bright future and comfortable life.”
Levi wasn't so gullible as to think they would honor their promise. However, he had to play with them because he did not know where The Cardinal Hall was, so even if he managed to fight it out, he would not be able to find his family. Most likely, he would put them in even greater danger.
The only thing he could do was comfort them until he had a chance to meet his family.
"Well, I'll do as you say." That was the only way forward for him.
"Key him!" The Dark Lord's Order.
In an instant, nine chains as thick as one hand were brought in, and it took nearly a hundred people to bring it in.
The nine chains were tied to Levi, and everyone sighed in relief after it was done.
“He did not expect that it was the famous Dragon Chain from The Cardinal Hall!”
“Yes, this is a legendary chain that can withstand a dragon! This may be a myth, but it is true that to date, no one has been able to crack it!”
Yes, it was the legendary Dragon Chain that they used in Levi.
Based on the records of the Court of Manifest, up to now, the Dragon Chain had been used as many as seventy-eight times.
And of the seventy-eight prisoners used, none of them managed to break free from it. What makes it even more impressive is that all of those prisoners were extremely powerful fighters.
Because of this, there was a belief within The Cardinal Hall that the Dragon Chain could withstand real dragons, let alone ordinary humans.
After the Dragon Chain was tied up, no one could dream of breaking free.
It was The Inferno's evil plan. They had no intention of killing Levi, even though he was the greatest demon ever.
He was more valuable to them alive than dead, so locking him up would serve their interests better.
They plan to find out more about Cyrus and his secrets from Levi, such as where Cyrus went, what the secrets of his skills were, and so on.
With enough information, they can work backwards and identify Cyrus' weaknesses so they can deal with them.
Therefore, they did not want to kill Levi at all.
Dragon Chains were created for people like Levi. Once he was held back by the Dragon Chain, he would no longer be a threat to The Cardinal Hall.
Huh huh?
It didn't take long for Levi to feel that something was wrong. Nine chains slowly penetrated into his flesh and went deep inside to lock his bones!
This…? Oh no!
Levi knew things were not in his favor, but he had to go through them to achieve his goal.
A special feature about the Dragon Chain is that it is locked into one's flesh and onto one's bones. Moreover, a spell had been cast into the chain and it was infused with magical power to further strengthen the already strong material. In short, all means have been deployed to make it unbreakable.
"So, can I meet my family now?" ask Levi.
"Don't worry. You will soon be able to meet them! ” Kaiden and his team tease.
Levi was at their mercy, and they could do whatever they wanted to him. However, they did not want to cause enmity between them, as they needed his cooperation to obtain confidential information about Cyrus.
To calm him down, they would let him meet his family.
After Levi was captured by The Cardinal Hall, everyone assumed he was dead.
The Raysonia and Bruce gangs were among those most excited by the results.
"Start stage two of our plan now!" The Raysonian people are finally ready for action.
With Levi out of the picture, it was the best time for them to act. And a large-scale mission has begun quietly.
Levi knows The Inferno's intention is to hold him back, but he plays along because his goal is to meet Forlevia, Emma, and Mia.
There was a lot of worry in his mind.
First of all, she was very worried about Zoey. He was too formidable, and he knew other than him with his Forbidden Technique, no one else could stop him.
In addition, there was a second stage action that Okano mentioned.
He knew he had to act fast, and time was running out.
“You said you'd let me meet my mother and daughter. The Cardinal Hall will honor his words, right?” he's pressing.
Kaiden and his team walked over and smilingly persuaded him, saying, “They are on their way! But before that, you have to answer some questions!”
"Huh?"
"First, do you admit that you are the heir of the Fiery Demon?" Zelda asked.
"I don't even know who the Fiery Demon is, so what do you want me to admit?" Levi smirked.
“Then how did you become so strong? Moreover, your skills and fighting style are exactly like the Fiery Demon! How do you explain it?” Gerald howled.
"I dreamed it!" Levi teases.
“You. Do you know you are ..." Jabez almost said about the Dragon Chain, but Kaiden stopped him just in time.
"Javab our questions correctly, and you'll see your family!" Kaiden.
"Just go. Leaving!" The Dark Lord walked into the room and took Kaiden and his team away.
"Why don't you let us interrogate and force him to reveal his secret?" someone asked.
“You don't know Levi very well. He would never tell us anything before he met his family. We have to let them meet before we can make him give us the information we want voluntarily.”
Levi's two concerns were unfounded. Forlevia, Emma, and Mia survive, and Zoey's condition stabilizes.
However, his third worry had materialized.
Raysonia had started their second stage action, and many black-clothed men appeared in all corners of Erudia at about the same time.
They are on a killing mission, and their target is the young men on the Stone list. They are out to eliminate Erudia's future leader.
Other than those on the Stone list, they also saw several hundred youths with great potential. It was a talent discovered by The Manifest Court.
With such talent, Erudia's martial world would have a bright future.
However, Raysonia took advantage of the chaos Erudia faced back then to launch their assassination.
All of their top warriors were mobilized, and they came out to get rid of those talented youths.
As the Eludians fought with the followers of the Fiery Demon, many of these youths were sent by their families to join the fight so that they could gain experience. Thus, they are exposed and can be easily tracked. Moreover, since they were far from home, they did not have many seniors to protect them, so they became easy prey for the Raysonians.
Holy hooch! Holy hooch! Holy hooch!
The highly skilled warriors of Raysonia began their mission, and one after another, the talented Eludian youths fell.
They were being targeted and closely watched by their enemies, so there was no chance of escape for them.
The most terrifying thing was that the Raysonian people did not come out to kill them. They hurt them so badly that they become disabled and will never be able to train again. It was many times more cruel than killing them.
The last one on the list of rocks is down!
The rank fifteen also dropped!
Next was the top ranked youth on the Stone list!
One by one, these young men became disabled.
Number nine on Stone's list has gone!
Next fell one rank eight!
In one night, hundreds of talented youths in Erudia were targeted, and all of them ended up being disabled.
No one can predict that…
The foundation for Erudia's future collapsed overnight ...
It was a disaster!
It was a tragic night!
