Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2174

Chapter 2174 Missing For Two Years “He's such a scumbag! I can't believe he'd forcefully take Garrison Industry away while Mr. Garrison is gone!” “Don't worry, guys! Mr. Garrison will come back if he's still alive, and we'll just take it back then!” Everyone was furious about Edmund's actions, but they could only put up with it. After all, Edmund was so powerful that killing Robed Slayer and the other higher-ups was a piece of cake. They thought they would be serving Erudia under The Cardinal Hall's rule, only to realize later on that Garrison Industry was actually being taken over by Edmund himself. The Cardinal Hall and Eragon both had a rule that had been set in stone hundreds of years ago which prevented them from taking in any external forces. As such, Edmund had tricked them into signing Garrison Industry over to him instead of The Cardinal Hall, and the company could only be regarded as being related to The Cardinal Hall at best. Robed Slayer and the others were furious when they realized they had been tricked, but there was nothing they could do as Edmund had already become the head of Garrison Industry. Regardless, having Edmund as the leader of the company did benefit them in terms of resources. It was an era where everyone was fighting to be the strongest, and companies like the Lab of Gods were constantly taking in more people and organizations to reinforce themselves. Maya Industries and Kings were so hungry for power that they even began attacking other countries for resources, and the cruel wars forced ordinary people into becoming fighters. In order to survive in such an era, one had to become stronger. Another year soon went by fairly quickly, and the world had changed even more drastically than before. Practically everyone was a martial artist or had some kind of special ability, and even children had to practice martial arts and magical techniques on top of doing their existing homework. Adapting was the only way to survive in a constantly changing world, and the improvement in people's overall health also reduced the number of diseases. Modern medicine and biological research were focused on strengthening humans and modifying their genes. That resulted in the formation of martial arts schools and superpower universities, which led to the normalization of ancient arts as technique books were easily available. With the advancement of technology, some of the products that were previously exclusive to major science labs had become commonly available to the public. On top of that, people have also discovered new energy materials comparable to sunstones and have been fighting like crazy over them. People were fighting chaotic wars everywhere, but the scariest part was the discovery of certain ancient artifacts related to both ancient arts and modern civilization. Powerful organizations like Lab of Gods and Maya Industries have discovered a lot of good stuff among the artifacts. Erudia participated in the competition as well and had hundreds of clashes with both Lab of Gods and Maya Industries during the process. Although Erudia suffered quite a huge amount of losses from those clashes, it didn't affect the country all that much. The sudden surge of powerful fighters led to numerous rankings being formed on the dark web, and the most reliable one was the Divine Leaderboard. There were a total of a hundred people on that list, and Zoey came in eighth on the list. Kirin and White Tiger too, ranked forty-seven and seventy-nine on the list respectively.
