Chapter 4008 Do You Think I Am Joking

Levi’s words came like a bolt from the blue, and the people present gasped audibly. In fact, for a moment, they wondered if they were hearing things.

Naturally, there were many in the hall who thought that Levi had lost his mind. “What gutsy words from this guy! Did he just say that he’s going to Willowbank by himself?”

“That’s Cordierite Association’s second largest chapter’s base! How can one man be able to do anything to a place that has been around for over a hundred years?”

“I’d say the ignorant is fearless. The alliance, in comparison to Willowbank, is nothing! Going there to create a ruckus is no different from having a death wish.”

Most of those words were spoken by fighters of Prime Company. Even Sylvan and some others who had witnessed Levi’s prowess firsthand were frightened out of their wits by his declaration.

“Mr. Garrison, you’re not joking with us, are you?” Sylvan hoarsely asked. Levi returned the question by saying, “Do you think I’m joking with you?” “I…”

Sylvan was at a loss for words, for he could sense that Levi was getting angry. Nevertheless, he felt that he should list out the pros and cons of Levi’s plan, even if it meant angering Levi.

“Mr. Garrison, I’m afraid you don’t know about this, but Willowbank is a place that Cordierite Association has been managing for over a hundred years. The connections between the sects and forces within the city are complicated, and entering the place is as dangerous as entering a bear’s cave. The sects who targeted Astre Lune Sect previously are nothing but ants in comparison with the fighters in Willowbank. Most importantly, Willowbank has an ancient defensive formation that has been strengthened by countless fighters of the Cordierite Association over time. Similarly, Sea of Stars is a heavily fortified region. Sea of Stars Guild has set up numerous defensive and offensive formations there with the help of Sea of Stars’ water element.”

Sylvan told Levi everything he knew in an attempt to let Levi realize how grave the situation was.

Regardless of how powerful Levi was, Willowbank was the second chapter of Cordierite Association.

Furthermore, the fighters of the Cordierite Association’s headquarters could head there for backup at any time. Going to Willowbank by himself would spell nothing but ill fortune—Levi might even lose his life there.

Of course, Sylvan also knew that Cordierite Association was not going to let the matter go so easily.

If Levi were to attack Willowbank, that would be the same as adding fuel to the fire. Cordierite Association would certainly take revenge on them with even more vigor.

Even if Levi could leave the battle unscathed, he would still make the sects in Willowbank his enemies.

By then, it would no longer just be a bounty—it would be a scene of various sects seeking vendetta against Levi. If that were to happen, there would be no way to turn back anymore.

Hence, Sylvan felt it would be better for Prime Association to play the mediator. Even if they had to pay a hefty sum to appease Cordierite Association, it was better than letting the association’s hatred fester.

“How can I make sure that they would not take revenge unless they’re all dead? I can’t always stay in Astre Lune Sect to protect it,” Levi uttered.

Sylvan understood where Levi was coming from; Levi simply did not want to worry about the matter anymore.

“Mr. Garrison, why don’t you wait for a few more days? The people from Prime Association’s headquarters will be here soon. We’ll settle on a plan that everyone agrees on. Is that fine by you?” Sylvan tentatively asked.

A period of silence later, Levi inclined his head and answered, “All right, but if we can’t settle on a good plan, I’ll still go ahead with my plan to decimate Willowbank.”

Hearing that, Sylvan let out a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that Levi would be adamant about going to Willowbank.

“By the way, Mr. Garrison, I’ve already looked into the matter you asked me to check on. The whistleblower is the new Empyrean of Eclipse. Previously, she had been hiding in Cordierite Association’s temporary base where three elders from Cordierite Association’s headquarters are based,” Sylvan said, changing the topic.

In the meantime, in Cordierite Association’s temporary base outside of Lightspring, Gloria was pacing back and forth worriedly. She had already received news about the battle outside Astre Lune Sect’s headquarters, like how the robber killed Blithe Lord in one strike and how he wiped out Arcadia with a beast.
