Despite the glances Cheriette gave them, the elders paid her no heed.
To them, Levi was simply a reprobate who had come from the mundane world, and they took delight in mocking him.
“There's been an enslaved fighting contest going on lately, hasn't there? Get this guy to join it.”
“My thoughts exactly. I heard the winner gets a top-class spiritual energy crystal.”
“Empyrean Cheriette's the one who bought this slave. We have to ask what she thinks about this.”
The elders turned to Cheriette, only to realize that the usually calm woman had turned pale and was even trembling slightly.
“Are you all right, Empyrean Cheriette?”
The elders were puzzled. Why does she look like she's afraid?
“If you don't shut your mouths, I'll help you with that.” Levi's voice rang out before Cheriette could respond.
Despite his nonchalant tone, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Yet, the elders were furious.
Given how revered they were in Astre Lune Sect, to be threatened by someone they deemed a reprobate from the mundane world was simply unacceptable.
“Do you have any idea what you just said, you reprobate?”
Tomas was known for his fiery temper. If it weren't out of consideration for their leader, he would have taught Levi a harsh lesson by now.
“Shut it.”
Levi vanished before his words even fell.
The third elder stilled briefly before feeling a harrowing aura coming from behind him all of a sudden.
“Tomas! Look out!” the first elder cried out in warning.
However, it was too late. Levi moved so swiftly and struck Tomas in the back of the head before the latter could even try to sidestep him.
Splat!
She was still genuinely worried about some of the elders secretly plotting revenge against Levi. If that happened, who knew what would become of Astre Lune Sect?
Still, given that what had happened was a secret, Cheriette dared not tell others about it before receiving Levi's consent.
“Anything goes as long as it doesn't stall the journey,” the man answered solemnly.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Cheriette proceeded to explain what had happened when they had tried to get their hands on the dragon ley line.
The elders turned cold in fright as they listened to how Levi had single-handedly taken down over a dozen fighters from Eclipse Academy.
Just before this, they had indeed planned to avenge Tomas.
The crowd finally gazed at Levi in awe and veneration.
“Your abilities are beyond description, Mr. Garrison! There's no one in Kenfort who can do what you do!”
“That's right! Thank you for saving Empyrean Cheriette!”
The elders were immediately humbled and began to honor Levi.
