All the Dragonites were in a state of chaos. After all, Levi was a hotshot that everyone was trying to recruit.
Besides, the offer Levi received was no joke. Anyone would have been tempted by such an attractive offer.
“He definitely won’t be tempted if he were the old Levi,” Severus began. “I mean, he did sacrifice himself for Erudia before. However, he’s a different person today. After the incident last time, I presume that he has no feelings now. In fact, he might even hate us all! Keep in mind that he’s merely an ordinary person. It’s easy for him to be tempted by their offer to satiate his desire for wealth and money!”
All of them agreed with what he had just pronounced.
If Levi were to succumb to the temptation and join other countries or forces, it would be a massive loss for them since he was powerful. As for now, not a single person was able to restrain him yet. Other than that, he knew Erudia so well that the whole country was basically in the palm of his hands.
If he were to join the opposing side, they would be at a disadvantage.
Although they were sure that Levi would not betray Erudia, he was still a threat to them.
“This is terrifying!” shouted one of them.
“I believe in Levi! I know he will not give in that easily!”
“Me too!”
Most of the people in the room had expressed their agreement.
“I know how you feel, and I believe in him too! But we’ll never know what goes on in his mind! No matter how you view it, he’s still a ticking time bomb! What if the other party threatens Levi’s family? When the time comes, we can’t do anything anymore. Prevention is better than regret,” uttered Rico.
“We should stop being blinded by our emotions! Let’s analyze the situation from the bigger picture. At the end of the day, we should get rid of any threats that come our way!”
“I agree! Let us talk through it.”
With the suggestion, all of them began their discussions.
“Firstly, we’ve managed to find out the Nine Lords’ strengths from Prince William’s death. Frankly put, any of them could be the Crown King,” one of them started. “Secondly, we’ve already gotten verification of that technique book. If we get our hands on it, we can cultivate at least three Levis here, and if we succeed, Levi will be useless to Erudia. We can give him up by then.”
“I agree.”
“Me too.”
After the discussion, they realized they could let Levi go since they could replace him with the Nine Lords. If they managed to get the technique book, they could even cultivate warriors stronger than him.
“What about Levi? What if other countries recruit him?” someone questioned, trying to come up with a solution to this matter.
“Levi’s strength is ridiculous. He could bring about a disaster if he’s not pleased with the status quo one day, and in order to prevent that from happening, we have to make sure that he becomes an ordinary person completely.”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
“No ordinary person should know martial arts!” he stated. “First and foremost, we have to make him hand over the technique book. Secondly, we have to make him debilitate his martial prowess on his own to make sure that he doesn’t use them ever again. That’s the only way for him to become an ordinary person, which will solve our concern regarding this threat. It may be a bit cruel, but for the future of Erudia, we have no other choice. I think he will understand why we’re doing this. Besides, hasn’t he always dreamed of becoming an ordinary person? We’re simply helping him achieve that.”
