The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2978

Chapter 2978 Ten Millenium Snow Lotus Their headquarters was on a small island. As they gazed at the huge heap of resources, they grinned in delight. They did not actually have the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus—everything was fabricated so they could lure Levi out. They quoted an extremely high price to take advantage of Levi's desperation for solutions. They figured Levi would definitely agree to their request. After all, he did not lack the resources at all. Without the actual Ten Millenium Snow Lotus, they could not make an exchange with Levi. As Levi would definitely want to check the goods during the exchange, they would be exposed and the scam would fall through. Hence, they asked for a 50% deposit, so Levi could give them half of the resources first. As that was only the deposit, they would not arouse Levi's suspicion. However, right from the start, they were only aiming for that deposit—this was their true objective. The ten tonnes of spiritual energy crystals and one thousand magical herbs were only a distraction. Their aim was to trick Levi into giving them the deposit, which was the five tonnes of spiritual energy crystals and five hundred magical herbs. No one would ever expect that they were not going after the full sum. Instead, they had been targeting only half of it right from the very start. It was too risky to ask for too much. If the checking of goods failed, they would not get anything. Not only would Levi pose a danger to them, but they also knew that Idrae would intervene. After all, Idrae's principle was to stop anything that could benefit Levi. Even if they managed to get their hands on the ten tonnes of spiritual energy crystal, they might not be able to transport everything back safely. Hence, it was better to just trick Levi of half of the requested amount. He would definitely give it to them. Furthermore, since Idrae would be waiting at the final exchange, they could snatch the resources away easily. Whatever it was, it would be a win-win situation for Hydron. “Hahaha! We have so many resources that I can barely imagine it! Only the top five powers in the world can have so many resources!” “These resources are a blessing in this critical time! This is amazing!” Staring at the pile of resources, everyone was overjoyed. “Right! Now that we've reached our goal, should we still meet Levi?” asked one of them. “Of course! We should meet him directly and pass him a fake snow lotus. Then tell him that he has been scammed!” “I can imagine the expression on Levi's face after that dumbass realizes that he's been tricked!” “Hahaha! This feels great!” “Levi, this is the consequence of not joining us. You deserve to be conned!” ... In the meantime, Dr. Erebus quickly rushed back and updated Levi, “Mr. Garrison, those people are too cunning. They transported the resources away so quickly! My men were too far to keep an eye on them. However, they've arranged for the swap to be held tomorrow. After we check the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus and confirm that it's authentic, we'll pass them the rest of the resources.” “Okay!” Levi nodded. The next day, Levi and the rest arrived at the meeting point. They carried along the remaining resources in their aircraft. There were a few people from the other side waiting for them, all wearing a mask. However, the person standing in front was holding a box. When Levi and Dr. Erebus saw those men, they realized that something was amiss. These men were only slightly stronger than the average person, so it seemed like they were merely there to transport the things. It was far from what Levi and Dr. Erebus expected. Anyone who could have the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus would definitely not be a weak faction. If a weak faction had such a powerful object, they would never be able to protect it. Something's strange! Although few of them already noticed that something was amiss, they still had a little hope. After all, that was what they had been doing all along. When the person holding the box saw Levi, he took a step forward and said, “You're Mr. Garrison, right? Someone asked me to pass the Ten Millenium Snow Lotus to you. Please check and accept it!” Levi took the wooden box and opened it slowly. Dr. Erebus and Digital God moved closer too. Boom! A terrifying sense of hostility flowed out from them instantly.
