Chapter 2679 The Real Mastermind

If I leave, I can still save Erudia in time.

But my son will surely perish.

These two are ruthless, so they will not have mercy on him.

I had seen with my own eyes what these b*stards can do. They had stabbed him brutally over a dozen times.

“Don’t kill him! I’ll stay!”

The Divine Brigadier was losing his mind from the pressure.

Everything was progressing smoothly according to the Lab of Gods’ plan.

By then, the entire world had known about the Warmachine invading Erudia.

Pandemonium stirred in every corner of the world.

After all, it was merely a few days ago when Warmachines had attacked different parts of the world.

The citizens were stunned to hear the Leviathans had struck Erudia again with a stronger attack than the last.

Panic stirred everywhere, plunging the entire world into an abyss of dread and trepidation.

The fear brought by the Warmachines was still ingrained in their memories.

Even Erudia couldn’t withstand their invasion and had their defenses broken down by them at one point after the other.

The loss was too great.

Every nation was on their toes.

Meanwhile, Black Hawk had arrived at Zarain safely.

Mr. X didn’t see him as a threat hence letting the latter leave.

To his surprise, Mr. Smythe had instantly summoned him once he stepped into the Shield’s headquarters.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re going to leave them to continue taking each other out.”

Black Hawk was surprised.

It seems Shield has found out about me abusing my authority to hide the Leviathan under the power station.

Seeing Black Hawk’s surprise, the head of Shield said, “We knew about your secret communication with the Lab of Gods, including your previous capture of Levi. We knew you did it all for the Lab of Gods.”

Black Hawk released a sigh of relieve.

The upper management of Shield has found out about the existence of the Lab of Gods in advance and my secret communication with it.

But from his tone, I don’t think they know about Levi’s actual abilities.

So Black Hawk kept his guard up and merely told Mr. Smythe about matters related to the Lab of Gods, omitting the details on the rest, including Levi.

The more I say, the faster I meet my death. I might as well keep Levi’s abilities a secret for now.

I can always use it as a fail-safe.

After all, not many in this world know about his actual abilities.

Only three people know about it, at most.

This is a crucial piece of information I have in my hands.

It can even be used to exchange for my safety in a precarious situation.

At that thought, Black Hawk sealed his mouth shut about Levi’s abilities.

It didn’t matter that the counterpart was the head of Shield.

“So you don’t have to worry much. The current situation is favorable for us. Let them fight each other,” assured Mr. Smythe.

Black Hawk pressed his lips into a line. “But under current circumstances, Erudia is the one at a disadvantage. We’ll be facing the Lab of Gods, an enemy stronger than Erudia, after this.”

Suddenly, Mr. Smythe grinned. “In your eyes, Zarain is weaker than the Lab of Gods? You thought we rode on their back to reach where we are today? You thought we were in a lower position than them despite us being partners?” Mr. Smythe said.

Black Hawk’s expression turned puzzled.

Isn’t that always the case?

Shouldn’t the Lab of Gods be stronger?

Zarain can reach where it is today because of the Lab of Gods.

Could it be…

Shocking speculation raced across Black Hawk’s mind.

The mere thought of it had chills running down his spine and had him sweating cold sweat.

Mr. Smythe smiled. “We had already known about your collaboration with them. And you even extended your access to them. But think about it. If we didn’t grant you permission, do you think you could’ve activated all power stations so easily with your access?”

So I couldn’t have activated all the power stations with my access. Every single move I have made was allowed by the Shield, maybe even by Zarain.

It was intentional.

They had been targeting Erudia all along. They were laying down the path for the Lab of Gods and leading them straight to Erudia.
