Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1909

Even the Cardinal Hall did not expect the Manifest Court to have known so much. As the Manifest Court existed independently of the Cardinal Hall, the former would only provide assistance to the latter and any other organizations should the need arise. They would not take the initiative to provide the Cardinal Hall with information, and certainly not take their orders. The Manifest Court was only in charge of recruitment and the gathering of information pertaining to the realm. They would not intervene in other affairs. In other words, both the organizations were equal but served different functions. Aside from the news of Levi being the Genius Doctor, there was plenty of other information that the Manifest Court did not feel the need to share with the Cardinal Hall. Being able to operate in shadow in this manner was a true testament to the frightening extent of the Manifest Court's power, something that Cyrus had attested to once before. The goings-on in Erudia that was invisible to most except the Manifest Court was enough to explain many happenings. Meanwhile, the council meeting within the Manifest Court resumed. “How did Levi's wife and Wynona survive the explosion? Did someone rescue them? I still can't believe it!” “We've combed through all of the available information regarding that incident. Nobody has a definite answer.” “According to what the two of them described, someone did in fact rescue them. That is the most reliable piece of information we have. Even they themselves had admitted that there was no way that they could have survived the blast if not for their savior.” “Who could that person be? Even we are unable to find out! How bizarre!” “That person may be related to Levi. Until now, we have been unable to ascertain how Levi had become even more powerful.” At the mention of Levi's power, the group was stunned in awe. The identity of Levi being the Genius Doctor was easily discovered by the Manifest Court. However, they did not have a clue regarding the disappearance of his master. At the conclusion of the meeting, all of the council members agreed upon the point that Levi's master was a man of frightening capabilities. Meanwhile, news of the Five Dark Angel's defeat was soon delivered to the ears of the Sacred Organization. To their shock, the council members of the Sacred Organization laughed in their faces instead of punishing them. Having returned with the dread of being punished for their failure, they did not expect the outcome to be as different as that. “Very good! He is much more powerful than we expected! Excellent!” “This strengthens our resolve to recruit Levi! His addition to our organization has now become a priority! He must join us at all costs.” “We must bring him in under the threat of death. If that were not possible, we will send out all Eighteen Dark Angels if need be.” Levi's demonstration of his power had the opposite effect of what he intended. It had in fact made the Sacred Organization even more determined for him to join their ranks. Meanwhile, Levi was just finishing the last stage of his treatment. At last, the top three fighters of the Stone list have completely recovered. Apart from that, the three of them had experienced a substantial increase in skill and soon broke through to the next level. “Master, you're amazing!” his disciples exclaimed. “In such a short period of time, you were able to nurse several hundred warriors back to health! It's a miracle indeed!” “I'm beginning to suspect that you are not the old man's apprentice. He does not possess medical skills like yours!” Always sharp, Sword Fiend sensed that something felt off. Levi and Cyrus could not be more different than one another. Even their techniques do not share any similarities. He was not sure if he was overthinking it, but he felt certain that Levi was not Cyrus's apprentice. Despite harboring that suspicion, he and the other disciples did not dare voice their opinion. “Whether or not I am his apprentice is not important,” Levi said with an impatient wave of his arm. “Tell me, how're you guys feeling now?” Levi was curious to find out how the Fiends were getting on by abiding by his rules. “I feel pretty good. I'm used to it by now!” His disciples nodded confidently. Venom Fiend chuckled. “Yes, my deadly experiments still work even after using animals as a substitute!” “Ever since I've used animal blood and artificial human blood,” Blood Fiend chimed in with a toothy grin, “I've found that my powers have increased. It's also not that easy to harm myself during training.” Ever since accepting Levi's rules of not harming humans, the Fiends were feeling better than ever. To transform a horde of Fiends to become better people was part of what made Levi a charismatic leader. The Seven Fiends felt that even if Levi was not the Fiery Demon's heir, they still benefited from abiding by his rules and teachings. Several days later, Raysonia's plan was finally put into motion to the shock of Erudia.
