Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2042

“You?” Bruce whispered in shock as he looked at the servant. That man was Peter, and he was from Keerea. He was a technological expert, but he had given up his luxurious life and began working as a servant instead. All he did was odd jobs, such as making coffee for Bruce. What he wanted to do was to get into the Lab of Gods. “That's right. I have an idea!” However, Bruce did not expect much from him as he nodded dismissively. “Yes, sure. Go ahead.” Nevertheless, it did not hurt to hear what he had to say anyway. “We're looking for a needle in a haystack with what we're doing now. The other party is targeting us, so there's no way they're going to leave behind any clues for us to find. However, this is a large-scale operation they're carrying out. They're no specters nor demons; how could they really not leave any traces behind?” At that, Bruce's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. “You're right. As long as they make a move, they're bound to leave traces of their footprints behind. The only reason we can't find it is because we're approaching it at the wrong angle. Go on, continue!” Peter smiled and said, “Since we're approaching it at the wrong angle, we should approach it with a different angle.” Bruce raised his brows and leaned forward, interested to hear more. “My plan is simple—we'll put out a bounty. We'll get more people to help us look for this mysterious force. As long as we have a lucrative reward, we'll be able to attract more people to take up the bounty. When that happens, the mysterious force would have considerable trouble making any moves. We would not be their only opponents. Allow me to exaggerate. The entire world would be their opponent. Everyone would know about every move they make,” Peter explained. Instantly, Bruce smacked his thigh. “That's right. We're powerful, but we're not all! We still need the help of others. If the others would lend us our strength, then we'll be able to track down this mysterious force because they'd have nowhere to hide.” Bruce yelled, “Men, put up a bounty under the name of the Lab of Gods and Cryptic Stream Corporation!” The reward of the bounty was a promising one. Even a minor clue would earn the individual an extravagant prize, including advanced equipment. The Lab of Gods and Cryptic Stream Corporation could almost give anything that was requested. The moment the bounty was put up, the rest of the world shrieked in excitement. They all wanted to help the Lab of Gods find out the mysterious force. Moreover, even the various forces on the mysterious dark web had taken up the bounty. Those underworld forces across the globe were beings that even the Lab of Gods had to be wary of. It was because some had been around for hundreds and thousands of years. Many of them, even now, was keeping a low profile. However, the reward was too tempting for them not to take up the bounty. Once the bounty was posted, almost the entire world was searching for Levi and the others. The bounty worked better than Bruce thought it would have. There were more people joining them than expected. Bruce was delighted to see the continuously incoming clues. In the past, they did not have any clues, so whether or not the clues were useful did not really matter to Bruce; it was better than none. Most importantly, those clues he received were actually useful after filtering through them. Those clues included figures of people's back profiles and traces of their activities at certain places. The more clues they had, the closer they were to the truth. Thrilled, Bruce yelled at Peter, “I'm going to promote you to one of my assistants. If we really find the mysterious force this time, I'll definitely credit you for this!” “Thank you, Mr. Johnston!” Peter beamed. “Mr. Johnston, I have another idea...” he trailed off hesitantly. “Hm? You have another idea?” Bruce was surprised. “I think we can transport the sunstones back now. First of all, the entire world is looking for them right now. They would expose themselves if they acted. Secondly, we can request Erudia to escort us.”
