Ch. 1391..1400

Chapter 1391Judy suddenly remembered what Levi had previously said about him joining the Great Family of Westford.His condition was simple. If he were to join, he would become the head of the family.Back then, Judy and Thierry had scoffed at his audacity.Yet today, Levi’s wish had come true. He was about to become the head of the Great Family of Westford.“If anyone has any objections, feel free to come to me! I’ll let my fists do the talking,” Levi said with a chortle.Hit by a sudden realization, George exclaimed, “Are… Are you the Crown King?”After much thought, he could only think of one person in the world that wielded such immense power.The Crown King struck fear even in the hearts of the Four Great Families.“W-What? The Crown King?” Thierry stuttered, shocked to the core.Why didn’t I think of this possibility?The Crown King is the only one in the world who has that much power. How could I have overlooked that?“The… Crown King…” Judy mumbled.It was a name that the Four Great Families feared, and now, there was a possibility that they were all in his presence.“Yes, it’s me. Good on you for being clever!” Levi gave a hearty laugh as he twirled the ring on his finger.It was a ring that everyone recognized immediately, the Dragon Ring.George hurriedly knelt in front of Levi and shouted, “I, George Langston, wish to serve the Crown King!”Blown away by Levi’s identity and power, George had fully surrendered.“What a blessing it is for Erudia to have another warrior who’s on par with the Five Dragons!”No matter how reluctant Thierry was, he eventually gave in and went down on his knees. “I, Thierry Langston, wish to serve the Crown King! From now onward, you’re the master of the Great Family of Westford!”Seeing how even George and Thierry have pledged allegiance to Levi, Judy and the rest followed suit.“We, too, wish to serve the Crown King!”With no one daring to stand in his way, Levi had officially become the master of the Great Family of Westford.“Excellent! Given how powerful the Great Family of Westford is, we should all the more do our part for Erudia!”Levi was mighty pleased with the outcome, even though he had never thought of it as a solution before.It was only after meeting George that Levi got the idea for it.If he could gain control of a force like the Great Family of Westford, the whole of Erudia would surely benefit from it.Besides, with his newfound authority, Levi could ferret out the silent forces even better.With thousands of years in their history, not only could the Great Family of Westford provide more firepower, but they also held more information and knowledge.Some of that information was so priceless that it was impossible to ever get intel on it unless one was part of the family.“Since I’m now your master, get ready to receive your orders!” Levi commanded.Everyone immediately turned their attention toward Levi and listened intently.“Firstly, me being the head of the Great Family of Westford has to be kept a secret. Let everyone else think that I’m under your control. Secondly, hand over the names and information of every member of the Great Family of Westford to me!”Levi’s intentions were simple. He wanted to make sure that no traitors of Erudia were hiding in the Great Family of Westford.At the same time, he also wanted complete control of the organization.“Thirdly, I will be secretly utilizing what the Great Family of Westford has to offer! Nobody is to query my actions. All you have to do is follow my orders!”Looking around to make sure everyone was still listening to him, Levi continued, “Fourthly, give me half of the potions and prescriptions that the Great Family of Westford possesses. I want to use them! Lastly, hand over all the techniques, secret weapons, and skills too!”The last two requests were mainly for Levi to strengthen Erudia’s soldiers so they could be an even more formidable presence on any battleground.Everyone nodded their heads in unison. “Understood!”Naturally, none of them had any objections.Levi once again turned his attention toward George. “Why don’t you come out of seclusion, George? We’ll accomplish great things together!”“All right. I’ll follow you!”Chapter 1392The first reason why George decided to follow Levi was that he was utterly blown away by the latter’s prowess.The second reason was that he wished to see how far Levi could go.As for Levi, the reason why he wanted George to join him was that even though the latter was weaker than him, George was indeed on a league of his own in terms of prowess.With him around, things would be much easier to achieve.“Don’t look so sad, everyone! You’re all contributing to Erudia. Erudia will remember all of you. It is only with faith that you can discover the purpose in life,” said Levi as he scanned the crowd.Looking at him hesitantly, Thierry asked, “Master, what should I do next?”Levi smiled. “You don’t need to do anything. Just continue with what you’ve been doing.”He still hoped that Thierry would protect Zoey.She and Forlevia would be safe with them.“Understood!” Thierry nodded.At that moment, Judy nudged Thierry, who quickly asked, “Crown King, may I know if you’re married?”Levi shook his head exasperatedly. Looks like he still doesn’t know my identity.“Yes. I even have a child now,” he replied.“What? You even have a child?”Both Thierry and Judy were stunned.Initially, Judy wished that she could become his wife, but it turned out that he was married…“In that case, we’ll take our leave first, master!”With that, Thierry and the rest left, while George remained with Levi.Back in the Lopez family’s residence, Cora and the rest were dumbfounded.What’s going on? When Thierry and the rest left, they were filled with excitement and delight, claiming that the mystery man would definitely join the Great Family of Westford. Although they should be happy, why do they look so despondent after returning? What’s going on?“Thierry, even George went! Didn’t the guy join the Great Family of Westford?” asked Cora curiously.Thierry sighed and said, “He did, but…”“But what?” she asked.Thierry waved his hands dismissively. “Everything’s fine. It’s confidential.”I can’t tell them that not only did he join, but he also became the master of the Great Family of Westford.Judy felt very gloomy too.Other than being depressed over what everyone was sad about, she felt upset that Levi actually had a wife.“What’s wrong with Ms. Langston?” asked Shaun and the rest.“That’s none of your business! Just do what you’re supposed to do!”To be honest, Judy looked down on the Lopez and Black families.“Of course, Ms. Langston.”Their current task was to devise a scheme to steal the magical medicine from Levi.They had been planning for several days and were preparing to start with Emma.Using Emma, they would force Levi to hand over the medicine to them.Cora quickly gathered everyone.“You’ve seen what happened today right? Thierry seems to be in a bad mood, so something probably happened. If you manage to get the magical medicine from Levi and give it to Thierry, he’ll definitely be delighted. He’ll probably even reward all of you. The Lopez and Black families will definitely prosper for the next few centuries,” she reminded.When they heard it, their eyes lit up.This is a golden opportunity! Since Thierry’s in a bad mood now, he’ll definitely be extremely excited to see the medicine. If that happens, our future will be bright.Never had they expected that the Great Family of Westford, whom they were trying so hard to curry favor with, was already under Levi’s. control.Chapter 1393In the end, Levi was the one who would help them prosper, not anyone else.The three-month period had thus, became a joke.The Great Family of Westford had established a restraining order that forbade Levi from meeting his wife and daughter.However, now, he turned out to be the master of the Great Family of Westford.As such, it was a preposterous notion that Levi would restrain himself from seeing his family.That being said, Levi had not thought about this yet.After becoming the master of the Great Family of Westford, all of the problems could be easily resolved.“Don’t worry, Cora. We’ll definitely present Thierry the medicine by tomorrow!” guaranteed Meredith.They had to grasp this golden opportunity.After they left, they started to take action.Even though Levi had arranged for guards to protect Emma, she would definitely not refuse Meredith and the others’ requests because they used Forlevia as an excuse.Hence, she immediately rushed over from South Hampton to North Hampton.The moment she arrived, she fell into their trap.The people guarding Emma did not take much notice either because they were her relatives, after all.Unbeknownst to them, Emma had unknowingly fallen under control by these “relatives.”“What are you doing? Didn’t you tell me to come here to visit Evie?”Emma stared at everyone in panic.“Don’t worry! We won’t do anything. We’re just going to exchange you for Levi’s medicine,” assured Logan with a smile.Emma immediately understood what was going on.After all, she knew that Levi had obtained a reward.“Don’t you find your actions despicable?” snapped Emma furiously as she glared at her so-called relatives.“How is it despicable? We’re Levi’s elders, anyway, so he should give the medicine to us!”“Yeah! He’s so disrespectful to his elders. How dare he hoard such a medicine?”Everyone exclaimed self-righteously.However, Emma rebuked indignantly, “That’s Levi’s reward. He has the right to decide how he’s going to distribute it. No one can make the decision on his behalf!”“Well, we’re going to decide for him today! I want to see if he’d rather want the magical medicine or his mother.”Since Meredith and the rest were determined, they naturally would not stop.“Let’s go and look for Levi now!”Just when everyone was about to leave, they bumped into Zoey.“What are you doing?”She stared at them.“Who leaked the plan?” yelled Meredith sternly.How did Zoey find out?“This has nothing to do with you, Zoey. Move out of the way immediately and stop hindering us!” shouted Jennie.“No! With me here, no one can bully Mom,” retorted Zoey hostilely.“Mom? She’s not your mother, okay? Get lost now!” snapped Logan furiously.However, Zoey stood at the entrance resolutely. “I won’t”The rest did not dare to make a huge ruckus. After all, it would be troublesome if Cora found out.“Our goal is very simple, Zoey. We just want Levi to give us the magical medicine so that we can give it to Thierry afterward. We’re doing this for the future of the Lopez and Black families! Your grandmother also said that our families will prosper for the next hundred years as long as we give the magical medicine to him,” said the rest.“Think carefully, Zoey. The magical medicine is useless on Levi now. Isn’t it better to exchange it for the futures of our two families?” Meredith tried to convince her.Indeed, Zoey was hesitating.“Yeah! Also, Thierry isn’t exactly pleased now. What if he decides to target us? In that case, the magical medicine will play a critical role!” agreed Robert.After glaring at everyone, Zoey said, “That’s enough, stop talking! Don’t put Mom in a tight spot. I’ll ask Levi for the medicine instead.”Chapter 1394“Okay, we’ll do it your way. Zoey, we’re also thinking on behalf of your future with Evie! I hope that you realize that too.”Everyone was delighted.With Zoey making the move, she would definitely succeed.This mission would definitely end in success.Zoey stared at her family in despair, not expecting them to do such a thing just for the benefit of the families.They were simply too despicable.If she could be reborn, she would definitely not want to be part of the Lopez and Black families.She knew that if she did not deal with this matter personally, Levi or Emma would definitely be harmed.As she did not wish for any of them to be harmed, she decided that it was best for her to resolve it herself.In the manor, Levi did not expect Zoey to come.Surprised, he asked immediately, “Have you forgiven me, Zoey?”She shook her head coldly. “No, I haven’t.”“Then, why are you here?” asked Levi.Staring at him, Zoey hesitated for a long time before mustering up her courage and asking, “Can you give me your reward?”“Sure.”She did not expect him to agree so easily.“Huh? Aren’t you going to ask why?”A surprised expression crossed her face.Levi smiled. “No need. As long as you’re the one asking me, I don’t need to know the reason.”“I see…”Although Zoey seemed calm, she was extremely touched.A warm feeling surged through her.In an instant, she forgave Levi.Without asking her for the reason, he gave her something so valuable that it was worth an entire island or city.Initially, Zoey was thinking about how to hide the reason from him.Never had she expected him to give it to her so directly.“North, bring the medicine over!” instructed Levi.Soon, North Sky Lord brought it over.The medicine was inside an exquisite and specially-created box that could only be opened by a passcode.Levi passed it to Zoey and told her the password.There was a complex look on her face as she took the box. After taking a few steps away, she spun around and said to Levi, “I’ll wait for you to pick me and Evie up three months later!”Levi smiled at that.Don’t worry, I’m watching over the two of you constantly.After Zoey successfully brought the magical medicine back, the Lopez and Black families were over the moon.The time for them to rise to success had come!They agreed to release Emma before heading to find Cora excitedly.With Cora leading them, they went to meet Thierry.“Thierry, they have something amazing for you!” the elder woman exclaimed with a grin.Thierry was stunned. “What’s that?”“Mr. Langston, you’ve probably heard about the rewards that Erudia gave to the heroes, right?” asked Meredith with a smile.Thierry’s eyes lit up. “Are you talking about the magical medicine that can save one’s life?”Although the Great Family of Westford had a lot of potions, he was envious of the magical medicine that the Dragonites had created.“Yes! We just got our hands on it, and we’re giving it to you now.”Robert immediately passed the box to him.After keying in the password, the lid sprang open, revealing a blue test tube inside.It was the legendary magical medicine.Only the greatest heroes of Erudia were worthy enough to have it.When Thierry saw the medicine, he broke out into a huge grin.He liked it so much that he could not bear to let go of it.After all, this meant that he would have an extra life.Anyone would love it.“I’m very pleased with this gift! You’ve done great merit to me!” exclaimed Thierry with a hearty laugh.Chapter 1395“Tell me, what reward do you want?” Thierry asked as he looked at the rest.Since the gift was effective, the Lopez and Black families were delighted.Cora was happy too.After exchanging a glance with each other, Harry and Meredith said, “Mr. Langston, we only wish for the Lopez and Black families to be part of the Great Family of Westford! From now on, all of our generations will follow the Great Family of Westford and your every instruction!”This was the two families’ greatest wish.If fulfilled, the Lopez and Black families would rise to greatness.After all, they would be part of the Great Family of Westford.Thierry agreed instinctively, “Okay, I agree! From now on, you’ll be part of the Great Family of Westford. Someone, announce the news to the rest right now!”“Really? Thank you, Mr. Langston! The Lopez and Black families hereby pledge our allegiance to you!”The members of the Lopez and Black families fell to their knees and thanked Thierry profusely.Now that the elders have managed to bring their families to the peak of success, their greatest wish had been fulfilled.Their efforts had not gone to waste.However, at that moment, Judy tugged on Thierry.“What’s wrong, Judy?” he asked.“Grandpa, let’s not make such a rash decision… We need to consider it…” she advised.Thierry bellowed furiously, “What? Can’t I even decide on such a minor matter?”Judy panicked. “Grandpa, have you forgotten about the current situation that the Great Family of Westford is facing?”Thierry’s body trembled when he arrived at the shocking revelation.She’s right! I’m not the master of the Great Family of Westford anymore. Although this is but a minor matter, I still have to inform him about it.Thierry smacked his forehead and exclaimed, “I forgot! Wait, don’t announce it yet. We need to discuss the matter of the Lopez and Black families joining the Great Family of Westford extensively first.”“Huh?”Thierry’s sudden change in mind surprised the Lopez and Black families, including Cora.But Thierry agreed to it so easily just now! Why did he suddenly change his mind? From Judy’s tone, it sounds like he can’t make the decisions now. What’s going on?Even Cora was curious.After all, this matter should have been a piece of cake for Thierry to handle.Hence, there was no reason for him to discuss it extensively.Unbeknownst to them, the master of the Great Family of Westford was now Levi.As such, the decision was not for Thierry to make.“What’s wrong, Thierry?” asked Cora quickly.If he failed to follow through with his promise, it would be humiliating for both him and the Great Family of Westford.“Stop asking! It’s none of your business!”Thierry left angrily with Judy behind him, leaving behind the Lopez and Black families.They exchanged glances with each other, completely clueless about what was going on.“What’s happening, Cora? Did we offend Mr. Langston?” asked Meredith.Cora explained, “No. There are a lot of ancient families and factions within the Great Family of Westford, so there are many strict rules to follow. It’s only natural that an assessment must be held before your families can join. Only those who are qualified can be a part of the Great Family of Westford. Hence, Thierry probably went to discuss it with the rest.”What Cora said was actually just a random excuse she thought up.Truth be told, she did not know what was going on either.“Grandpa, I think that we should discuss this with him. If he finds out and blames us for it, it’ll be troublesome,” reminded Judy when they reached a secluded area.“Okay, let’s look for him now.”Since Thierry was determined to accept the medicine, he had to agree to the Lopez and Black families’ request.Otherwise, he would be utterly humiliated.Chapter 1396“Huh? Why are you here?” Levi looked at them.It’s such a busy day today. Everyone’s coming here!“Sire, I need to discuss with you about the Great Family of Westford…” said Thierry with a smile.“Speak!”Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Thierry continued, “Sire, I’d like to let the Lopez family from North Hampton and the Black family from South City to join the Great Family of Westford. What’s your opinion on that?”Judy added, “Sire, it’s actually a small matter. However, since you’re now the master of the Great Family of Westford, you hold the final decision!”She was expressing her respect for Levi.“The Lopez and Black families? Why should they join? As far as I know, they’re not qualified. At the very least, they have to be an ancient family to join, right?” asked Levi, feeling intrigued.“Well…”Thierry was stumped.Do I tell him about the medicine?“Speak!”Noticing something fishy about this, Levi bellowed at him coldly.Thierry was immediately frightened.“Yes, Sire. Actually, the Lopez and Black families gave me a medicine that’s been given to the heroes of Erudia recently. Since I took it, I agreed to let their families join the Great Family of Westford.”He admitted honestly.So Zoey took the medicine to give it to Thierry. How could they even devise such a plan?Levi was immediately enraged. A cold look glinted in his eyes as he growled, “Such insolence! What have you done for Erudia? How dare you take the medicine?”He slammed the table forcefully, scaring Thierry so much that he fell to his knees.Standing beside Levi, George glanced at Thierry and sighed exasperatedly. “Why are you so foolish?”“What right do you have to take it?” bellowed Levi.Judy immediately explained, “It’s not what you think, Sire. The Lopez and Black families gave it to us! There’s no way we would have dared to take it for our own!”George yelled furiously, “Hand over the medicine now!”Thierry was so scared that he quickly brought the box to Levi.“North, take it.”Levi smirked.After all that had happened, the medicine was still returned to his hands.“Remember, don’t touch anything that doesn’t belong to you,” warned Levi.“Understood! We’ll leave right now.”Thierry and the rest prepared to leave.“Wait!”“Yes, Sire?”Everyone glanced over at him.“I’m keeping the medicine, but you must tell the Lopez and Black families that you kept it. Also, I’ll agree to let them join the Great Family of Westford,” instructed Levi.A look of delight crossed Thierry’s face at that. “Understood!”Although he did not get the medicine, he managed to save himself from being embarrassed in front of the Lopez and Black families.After returning to the Lopez family’s residence, Thierry announced that both families could join.The members of the Lopez and Black families were engulfed with sheer delight.In the past, they could only rely on the Great Family of Westford’s authority. Now, they had officially become one of them.From now on, they would face no resistance in Erudia.They had shot up to the ranks of the ancient families.Even if they bumped into the Garrison clan in Oakland City, they could just slap them with no inhibitions.The news spread instantaneously, causing the entire of Erudia to go into an uproar.The Great Family of Westford was the most active amongst the hidden forces.Now, they had allowed two major families to join into their ranks.At the same time, the wealthy elites in North Hampton and the surrounding areas visited to congratulate the Lopez and Black families.“Seems like we should thank Levi for this! Let’s go and thank him, shall we?” suggested Shaun.Everyone headed to Levi’s residence.Chapter 1397“Stop! What are you doing here?”When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, there was someone guarding it.The person was none other than George.Since he had not received any tasks from Levi, he was now serving as the security guard.“Wow! Did Levi hire a middle-aged man to be his bodyguard? Can someone as weak as him even guard the house?” mocked Shaun and the rest when they saw George.Since they had not met George previously, they did not know him.“Hey, old man, are you a bodyguard hired by Levi?” asked Logan.“Hahaha!”Everyone burst into laughter.When George concealed his intimidating aura, he seemed like a gentle and easygoing man.In fact, he even looked slightly weak.“If we insist on going in, can even you stop us?” mocked Shaun, trying to intimidate George.If he knew that this gentle middle-aged man was almost two hundred years old, he might faint from shock.More terrifyingly, George could very well smash him into smithereens with a single punch.In fact, Shaun would not have ever imagined him to be the most skilled fighter in the Great Family of Westford.He was so powerful that even Thierry had to address him respectfully as ‘Master’.“Impudent fools! Do you have a death wish?”George was about to fly into a rage when a voice rang out, “Let them in!”Only then did George conceal his murderous intent and allow the group to enter.Looking at everyone, Levi smiled. “Are you here to show-off?”“Looks like you already know about it! Well, everyone in Erudia already knows that the Lopez and Black families are now part of the Four Great Families! We’re so powerful that even the Garrison clan from Oakland City is inferior to us. Levi, you don’t even have the right to talk to us,” boasted Shaun and the rest proudly.They all acted high and mighty as if they were the most powerful people in the world.“Levi, have you ever expected this day to come? We’ve become truly superior people, while you still remain a nobody,” mocked Jennie disdainfully.Logan laughed. “Isn’t life so unpredictable? Within a blink of an eye, we’ve become part of the Four Great Families. Aren’t you pissed? Speaking of which, we have to thank you. Your medicine really helped our family rise to the top. Thank you so much!”Everyone thanked Levi pretentiously.In response, Levi smiled and said, “I was the one who allowed you to join the Great Family of Westford. I single-handedly helped you shoot to the peak of success, but you must remember this—I can make you fall to your demise as easily as I can help you succeed!”When he said that, everyone burst out laughing.They were laughing so hard that they could barely stand up straight.If someone else said that, they might have found it believable.However, since Levi was the one saying that, it was impossible for them to believe him.After all, he had nothing to do with the Great Family of Westford.It was impossible that he was the one who agreed to let their family to join the ranks of the Great Family of Westford.Furthermore, Levi was in no position to tell Thierry what to do.“Levi, you must be out of your mind! Your boasting is getting out of hand. Why don’t you just say that the Great Family of Westford belongs to you?” Jennie yelled at Levi.Levi laughed and said, “You’re right! The Great Family of Westford is indeed mine!”“Pfft!”Immediately after he spoke, everyone hurled insults at him.“You’re so shameful! How can you be bold enough to claim that the Great Family of Westford is yours?” bellowed Shaun and the others.They were furious.When George noticed what was going on, he chimed in, “He’s right. He is the master of the Great Family of Westford!”Chapter 1398“Because I’m…”“Zip it! A servant like you has no right to speak here!”George was about to continue his sentence when Shaun interrupted him directly.“I…”George was stunned.In the Great Family of Westford, he was held in great esteem. Not even Thierry dared to say no to him.However, he was now being scolded by a bunch of insignificant brats.“Stop talking and get lost!” chided Logan and the rest impatiently.“I…”George was on the brink of blowing his top off.The moment he came out of seclusion, he was beaten by Levi.Nonetheless, that was a defeat he wholly accept.However, he could never tolerate these weaklings bullying him.“Levi, if you use the Great Family of Westford to scam others, we’ll kill you!”“Yeah! If I hear you say something like that again, I’ll beat you up whenever I see you.”They left arrogantly after that.When they passed by George, they reprimanded, “Hey, old man, remember your position. Don’t spout nonsense in the future or I’ll definitely teach you a lesson, okay?”Shaun raised his fists intimidatingly.By then, George felt like he would burst in fury.He could not believe that he had been humiliated by a bunch of brats.“Calm down. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to teach them a lesson in the future,” coaxed Levi with a smile.After Shaun and the rest left, West Sky Lord arrived.“Are there no news? Logically speaking, they should’ve made a move after so long,” asked Levi.“We’ve got our hands on a snippet of Prince William’s call with a mysterious person from Erudia. Even though it’s just a small part, we can still deduce that they’re going to make a move,” replied West Sky Lord.Levi smirked. “I knew that they’ll strike! After waiting for so long, they’re finally going to show themselves!”It turned out that it was Levi’s plan to make the awards public.He had specially instructed the Dragonites to release the list.The reason why they explicitly stated who was rewarded with the medicine was very simple—they wanted to lure the hidden forces out.Everything depended on whether they could endure it.Even though they did, Prince William wanted them to make a move.“According to the audio snippet, Prince William from Zarain is reprimanding them for their previous two failures. He insisted that they must obtain the medicine no matter what.”West Sky Lord played the audio for Levi.After listening to it, the latter smiled. “Who do you think they’ll target if they want to snatch the medicine away?”“It’s impossible that they’ll target Benny Quinton and the others. Not only will there be people guarding them, but there will also be a great impact if something bad happened to them.“For the other important heroes, they can’t even touch them. After thinking about it, you’re the only one left, Master.”North Sky Lord and West Sky Lord analyzed the situation.Levi smirked. “That’s right! No matter how much they investigate me, they’ll only think that I’m an average and a useless person who only got rewarded because of my past military merits. Furthermore, the impact would be the least if they killed me. In fact, there won’t be any impacts at all. Hence, they’ll definitely choose to target me.”North Sky Lord scratched his nose. “But they’ve already suffered a loss at North Hampton. I reckoned that they’ll be scared that the Crown King will be at North Hampton…”Levi laughed. “That’s simple! We’ll just let the Crown King appear in another place.”“I’m afraid that won’t work. They’ll only dare to act after gathering solid evidence. For instance, they’ll attack the Crown King to test his abilities. It’ll be hard to find someone to be your double.”West Sky Lord explained his concerns.At that moment, Levi glanced at Geroge.Chapter 1399“Is it? Don’t we have one right here?” asked Levi with a smile.North Sky lord and West Sky Lord laughed.Everyone from The Avengers knew that the Crown King was extremely powerful.If a fake Crown King appeared, The Avengers would definitely go and certify if he was the real one.The criteria would be how powerful he is.If he was not powerful enough, they would definitely know he was fake.Initially, they thought that they could not find someone on par with Levi’s abilities.Never had they expected that George would be a possible candidate.Even if he could not match up to Levi, he was sufficient to be his replacement.After all, he was the top fighter of the Great Family of Westford.“Me?”Even George was shocked.I have to pretend to be the Crown King?“Yes, that’s right. You!”Levi continued, “I’ll promote you to the position of the Lord of Erudia in The Calamity. This means that you’ll be on equal footing as the Four Lords! It’s time for you to truly contribute to Erudia!”Levi’s words motivated George greatly.Initially, he thought that he would only handle the miscellaneous affairs for Levi.He did not expect to have such a significant title conferred to him.“I’m willing to give my all for Erudia!”George felt like he had returned to the past when he had been invincible.He felt immense excitement surging through him.“Your first mission is to impersonate me. I’ll give you the Dragon Mask and the other tokens to you,” instructed Levi.After receiving his mission, George immediately rushed to the North.As the Crown King, he gathered the Iron Brigade, the Asura Army, and the Grewall Army for joint training.Not only that, but even the bodyguards whom Minka had instructed to protect Levi had also left.This was even more beneficial for Levi’s plan.If there was no one around him, he would be able to lure The Avengers to take action.Meanwhile, George was in a training base in the North.Wearing the Dragon Mask and wielding the Dragon Sword, he gazed at the three major armies intimidatingly.He had followed all of Levi’s instructions.All that was left was the joint training.George returned to the base camp, while Winsor, Minka, and the rest followed behind.They were extremely excited, for it was their first time being in such close proximity with the Crown King.Minka wished to see how he actually looked like.“Die, b*stard!”At that moment, someone bellowed with rage.Five skilled fighters suddenly surrounded the Crown King and attacked him simultaneously.Those five fighters were stronger than the Great Grandmaster.They were the experts which The Avengers had sent to test the Crown King’s skills.After a battle, the five of them were all injured.In the end, they could not escape from George’s clutches and were all captured alive.However, before they could be taken in, they bit onto the poison pill hidden in their mouths and committed suicide.Their faces beneath their masks were the same as before—disfigured faces that could not be recognized.Everyone was once again shocked.As expected, the Crown King is so powerful! He’s truly the real deal.Someone hidden in a corner was similarly shocked, and they left immediately.Meanwhile, in South Hampton, a bunch of masked people was gathered together.“We’re certain that the person who appeared at the North is the Crown King! Not only does he have the three symbolic items, but his abilities also fit his identity.”A person told them the message he had gotten from the North.“Okay! Since the Crown King is not at North Hampton, it’s a golden opportunity for us to strike. Due to this joint training, Minka had dispatched Levi’s personal bodyguards elsewhere. This time, Levi’s truly alone and helpless. There’s no way for him to escape unless he grows wings and flies away! We must succeed in our mission. Prince William’s already pissed!”Soon, the group approached North Hampton quietly.Chapter 1400In the North training base, Minka was talking to Winsor.“Don’t you think that there’s something amiss with the Crown King?”Winsor replied in surprise, “You feel it too?”Although there was nothing unusual with the Crown King on the surface, he exuded a strange vibe.“I don’t know where the problem is, but I just think that something’s wrong.”“Why don’t we take a look secretly?”Minka had always been curious about how the Crown King looked like.Similarly, Winsor wanted to see him too.However, he hesitated. “But we can’t intrude into the Crown King’s personal space. If we’re caught, we’ll be punished.”Minka glared at him. “Fine. If you won’t go, I’ll go. There won’t be such a good opportunity the next time!”“In that case, I’ll tag along with you.”In the end, Winsor could not suppress his curiosity.Both of them snuck into the Crown King’s private territory.It was not guarded at all, so they easily approached his residence.They peered through a small crack.At that moment, George had just taken off the Dragon Mask and revealed his face.Minka and Winsor inhaled sharply, having seen for the first time how the “Crown King” looked like.They were surprised to find out that he was a gentle-looking middle-aged man.Initially, they thought that he would be a young man.“Who’s there?” bellowed George furiously when he realized that there was someone nearby.Boom!Boom!At the same time, two streams of energy shot out, causing Minka and Winsor to fly backward from the impact.Blood spurted from their mouths, but they still managed to escape.The moment George found out that his identity had been exposed, he immediately informed Levi.This is all my fault!It was careless of him to assume that he would be fine in his private territory, so he did not wear his mask.“It’s fine. Just let it be. Besides, they’ve never seen the Crown King’s actual face before,” reassured Levi with a smile.After escaping from George’s place, Minka and Winsor spat out their blood and quickly drank the potion.Having recovered, they exchanged a look with each other.“He’s not a young man? Didn’t the rumors say that the Crown King is young?” asked Minka in surprise.Winsor shook his head. “I really didn’t expect that! He probably comes from one of the hidden forces, right? After all, there are many experts in disguise in Erudia. There are probably many secret organizations that we don’t even know about!”Minka patted her chest and heaved a long sigh. “At least, I’ve fulfilled my wish of finding out how the Crown King looks like. Now, I respect him even more!”Winsor smiled.If the Crown King was a young man, he would not be able to accept it.However, since the Crown King was a middle-aged man, he felt much better.Both felt very pleased because they were probably the first ones to find out how the Crown King actually looked like.Meanwhile, Levi was waiting for the enemy to arrive.In the middle of the night, Levi, still alert, heard some noises.They’re finally here…Whoosh!Following a soft rustle, a few masked experts suddenly appeared in the manor.They went to the bedroom and surrounded Levi.“Levi, if you give us the medicine, we’ll spare your life!” yelled one of them coldly.“What medicine? Are you perhaps, talking about this?” asked Levi with the box in his hand.“Huh?”Everyone was stunned at first before someone bellowed furiously, “That’s right! That’s the one! Give it to me and I’ll spare you!”“Sure. Here you go! I’ve waited for you for a long time.”Levi passed the box to them, causing them to be utterly stunned.
