Chapter 1357

“We won’t tell you anything.”

“Erudia is bound for destruction. You’ll all be dead!”

The Venomous Lord and the Evil Genius smiled evilly as they secretly chewed on the poisonous pill they had each hidden in their mouths.

Barely a minute later, they vomited blood, and their eyes rolled back in their heads.

It was an ugly death.

They had chosen to take their own lives instead of exposing their leader.

“Damn it!” Levi pounded the ground in frustration.

Poisons and gadgetry were the most unpredictable foes.

If they had set their minds to death, it was almost impossible to stop them.

Levi then approached Drakon and the surviving squad members on the ground.

Their faces were painted with awe and disbelief.

Drakon apologized to Levi immediately. “We were wrong to treat you that way! But couldn’t you show your hand earlier? Why did you strike after we were injured?”

Everyone stared at Levi in anticipation of his reply.

Why did he wait? If he had struck earlier, there would be fewer injuries.

Levi scoffed. “I warned you, but none of you would listen. Seeing as you’re adults, you should bear the consequences of your decisions!”

“I-I-” Everyone stuttered.

If they had paid heed to his advice and changed their route, they would not have run into the Devils and their skilled underlings.

Their men would have been alive and well.

Levi was right; it was all their fault. They would bear the burden of the blame for the rest of their lives.

The reinforcements arrived shortly after.

The Dragonites heaved sighs of relief when they saw the briefcase secure in Levi’s hands.

“Thank God we arranged for you to follow them!”

Levi, however, shook his head in resignation. “They’re all dead, though. I didn’t manage to get any clues from them.”

“The mission is still a success. Please don’t blame yourself!”

“We would like to pay our respects to the Crown King!”

With that, the Dragonites kneeled before Levi.

“W-what?”

“Crown King? He’s the Crown King?”

“Sh*t! The mysterious Crown King is Levi Garrison?”

Drakon and his men were dumbstruck.

This was the wildest thing they had ever heard.

Levi Garrison and the Crown King being one and the same? Unimaginable!

The Dragonites, as always, were not fools. They arranged for Levi to tag along instead of Minka or Winsor because Levi was the strongest of them all.

“He’s not a burden or a cripple. He’s the freaking Crown King!”

The revelation was shocking.

Drakon and his men deeply regretted every insult that had come out of their mouths earlier. At that point, only death might be an equivalent punishment.

“Crown King, we have wronged you!”

“We dare not beg for your forgiveness!”

“We would like to thank you, Crown King. Without you, our mission would have failed!”

Drakon and his men were near tears at that point as they apologized profusely to Levi.

Ignoring them, Levi approached the masked underlings on the ground.

The reinforcements from the Dragonites followed his lead. “They’re our only lead for now!”

There was nothing to be gleaned from the Four Devils.

Waving his arm, Levi gestured for a few Dragonites to remove their enemies’ masks.

When they made out the faces beneath the masks, everyone gasped, including Levi.

“T-this-”
