Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2384

Chapter 2384 The Most Explosive Day The person from The Manifest Court said, “I can see that the battle was fierce.” The divine brigadier nodded. “Yes. I met a powerful fighter.” His daughter was surprised that her father actually called another fighter powerful. “You got into a big battle right after you finished training? That must have been one powerful foe.” Edmund, in all his stupidity, added, “If I'm correct, you must have met Dark Emperor, right? Number one on the Divine Leaderboard?” God f*cking dammit. Are you a seer or something? You just had to make the right guess, didn't you? You dumb brat! You idiotic boy! The divine brigadier felt like slapping his son. Every time he was about to forget about that fight, Edmund just had to tear into it. The divine generals agreed, “Sir, we've heard about the feud between you two. You've banned him from entering Erudia, but he has been showing up frequently in North Hampton. “I'm sure he's the first one you want to get rid of, sir. You just fought him, didn't you? Tell us we're right, sir.” The divine generals were beaming at the divine brigadier, asking him to praise them. However, their boss only wanted to slap them at the moment. Goddammit! These idiots! Are they dumb? Why won't they just shut the f*ck up about it? He looked around and noticed everyone was staring at him, waiting for an answer. In the end, he answered sheepishly, “Yes, I just came out of a fight with Dark Emperor. Sorry, you guys had to see me in this state.” Edmund stupidly asked again, “Father, did you defeat him then?” His goal was simple. He wanted his father to tell him he defeated Dark Emperor. Edmund wanted everyone to know his father defeated the invincible Dark Emperor. It wouldn't be too big a piece of news in the past, but Dark Emperor was now put on an impossibly high pedestal. He was practically a god, but well, every single thing he did shook everyone to their core, so he was not that different from an actual god anyway. Of course, everyone wanted to defeat him, and some didn't really think Dark Emperor was as powerful as everyone made him out to be. Some, like Edmund, wanted people from their own organization to beat Dark Emperor. Now that he thought his father had done it, he felt proud about it. All that was left was getting the confirmation straight from his father's mouth. Edmund was looking forward to it, and so was everyone else. This was the pride of The Cardinal Hall after all. However, on the other hand. the divine brigadier wanted to give his son a tight slap and stitch his mouth up so he wouldn't speak ever again. He never wanted to talk about that fight again, but Edmund just had to bring it up. Because of him, everyone was looking forward to hearing the news of victory coming from him. If he said he lost, everyone would be crestfallen. The Cardinal Hall and even Eragon would be hit hard by the news, and it might even be humiliating for them. The whole world will laugh at us. I cannot tell them the truth. “Yes. I defeated Dark Emperor,” the divine brigadier lied, but he only did it to answer everyone's expectations. He didn't want to let them down. Well, all I can do is pray for the best then. Edmund was the most excited of all, and he roared with laughter. “Number one on Divine Leaderboard? He's still no match for my father! My father's the real god here! He's the strongest! The most powerful! The undefeatable!” Everyone else was delighted as well. That day was the most joyous day in The Cardinal Hall. Not only did their divine brigadier make his return, but he also defeated Dark Emperor himself. “I need some time alone to settle a few matters,” the divine brigadier excused himself and hurried away to find somewhere to hide. God knew what else might happen if he stayed there any longer. But the moment he had some time alone, he thought something was wrong with Dark Emperor. “That can't be Dark Emperor.”
