Chapter 1528

Everyone was stunned.

What is Lance doing?

I know! He is Malcolm’s younger brother and Malcolm was killed because of Levi!

Lance must be furious with Levi.

That was what went through everyone’s mind.

Concerned, Zoey grabbed onto Levi’s sleeve subconsciously.

What are we going to do if Lance holds Levi accountable?

Walking up to Levi, Lance was just about to say something when Levi pre-empted him, “I’m a civilian now!”

Lance understood immediately.

“Oh. However, I will always remember you for the rest of my life!”

Lance meant that he would forever be in Levi’s debt given that Levi was his master.

However, everyone else assumed that Lance was holding a grudge over Malcolm’s death instead.

“If not for Lance’s special position now, I think he would have killed Levi.”

Shaun felt that it was a shame.

After that, Lance looked at Forlevia.

Zoey quickly got her to greet him.

Smiling, Lance stroked Forlevia’s face. “You can call me Lance.”

As Levi’s disciple, he was on par with Forlevia in terms of hierarchy.

“That’s inappropriate…” someone reminded.

After all, Lance was still her elder.

Nevertheless, no one thought too much about it as they were more interested in celebrating his return.

As for the other eight Lords, they too were treated the same way when they returned to their respective hometowns.

It was crucial to have tremendous fanfare wherever they went as it was an indirect projection of strength to Erudia’s enemies.

Of course, the Nine Lords had the capabilities to back up their reputation.

After all, they were all handpicked by Levi from the masses and had gone through hellish training.

The past year had been a glorious one for Erudia.

All foreign countries, especially those by the border, were pressured into submission.

Meanwhile, on at island within Adrune, there were a few planes parked.

With a huge entourage, Prince William arrived at a manor.

Inside, Kuro Dragon, Black Phoenix, and many others were waiting for him.

“Hmph! You bunch of trash. What have you done?”

Prince William threw the newspaper in his hand at Kuro Dragon’s face.

“After paying such a high price, you still failed to kill the Crown King!”

“Despite the sacrifices, the Northern Demon is also dead!”

“Have you even succeeded in anything?”

Prince William was furious.

He had wasted a tremendous amount of money and resources to fulfill Kuro Dragon’s requests.

In fact, he had even rewarded Kuro Dragon with sovereign land and tens of islands.

How can I not be furious at his lack of achievement?

“Even my dogs know could reciprocate better. What about you?”

Prince William glared at them angrily.

“Prince William, we have indeed failed you.”

Kuro Dragon lowered his head as he admitted his mistake.

“Erudia is invincible now. Putting the Crown King aside, the Nine Lords have now emerged as guardians of the nation. At this rate, no one will be able to touch them,” Prince William bellowed.

“Please calm down.” Kuro Dragon attempted to assuage him.

“You had better come up with a new plan. Whatever it is, I must see Erudia ruined, or even better, utterly destroyed! Or else, I will take back everything I have given you, including the land and the islands. In fact, I’ll even send you back to Erudia!” Prince William threatened, glaring at them.

To curb Erudia’s growing influence, Prince William had no choice but to force The Avengers into action.

“Alright, we’ll get right on it!”

With an insidious expression, Kuro Dragon exchanged glances with his men.
