Chapter 4009 Look Before You Leap
Furthermore, the robber had also butchered almost everyone in the alliance. The string of bad news only served to make Gloria even more frustrated. “What a bunch of useless fools! Is this all Cordierite Association is capable of?” Gloria cursed out loud.
She thought that she would be able to use Cordierite Association to get rid of the robber, but as it turned out, the robber could still wipe out that powerful alliance.
“The robber won’t come to settle the score with me, right?” Every time Gloria thought about that, she became frustrated. She thought about going into hiding, but it seemed like it would not be a wise choice to hide within Eclipse.
The arrow the robber had fired from afar back then severely wounded many members of Eclipse. If they were targeted by someone with an ultimate weapon again, it was likely that she might die in the assault.
Therefore, Gloria decided that staying in Cordierite Association’s temporary base was safer, especially since there were three elders from Cordierite Association’s headquarters at the base.
Even the robber would have to give them some respect, right? Gloria mused. After all, Cordierite Association was a superpower in Kenfort. The people they had sent out were not even one-tenth of its overall power.
They’re mighty here. I’m sure the robber wouldn’t dare to cross them, either.
Just as that thought popped into her head, a Cordierite Association fighter walked over to her.
“Gloria, Elder Nister is asking for you,” the Cordierite Association fighter said expressionlessly.
Gloria did not dare to ask any more questions, for the three black-robed elders were much more powerful than her—there were other fighters she was no match for, too.
Keeping a low profile was the best way for her to ensure her safety.
Gloria then followed the fighter to the conference hall. When she arrived, she found out that many fighters from various sects had gathered there.
“Is there something I can help you with, Elder Nister?” Gloria politely queried.
Initially, Nister wanted to ask for more details about the battle between the robber and the fighters of Eclipse, but he suddenly sensed something powerful rapidly coming close to them.
“Someone’s coming! Prepare for battle!” Nister immediately ordered.
Gloria’s heart leaped into her throat. Her first thought was that the robber had come, and all the colors drained from her face at that.
Then, Nister, Krow, and Benoit dashed out of the conference hall. The others quickly followed suit and pulled out their weapons before grimly looking outside.
Thump!
A deafening sound thundered in the air, and in the next second, a figure descended from the sky.
Nister recognized the figure right away, and he icily questioned, “Why are you here?”
Sylvan’s mediation earlier had already irritated Nister.
However, he held himself back because he did not know how powerful Levi was.
At the moment, he could only think that Levi was crossing the line by coming here.
Chuckling, Levi said, “I’m here for someone.”
“Who?” Nister snapped impatiently.
Instead of answering him, Levi scanned the area and soon discovered Gloria.
As he pointed at Gloria, who was hiding in the crowd, he smirked and said, “Her.”
Nister and the others were quick to realize what was going on. After all, Gloria was the one who had revealed the robber’s whereabouts.
Is he planning to settle the score with her?
“It’s true that Gloria told others about your location, but don’t you dare cross the line. Remember that you’re on our territory.” Nister scoffed, “It’s best for you to look before you leap!”
“You’re right!” Levi uttered solemnly.
At that, Nister thought that Levi was stunned by his aggression. Right as he was about to spit out a few vicious words to salvage his reputation, Levi mercilessly cut him off by saying with a smile, “I looked, and it turns out it’s just you, so I’m going to leap.”
Hearing that, Nister was forced to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and he scrunched up his face.
“Don’t cross the line. This is no place for you to do as you plea—”
