The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 3240

Chapter 3240 Controlling Floyd To him, Gloria did not seem like someone from Ecclesiastic Order. Instead, he saw Gloria as one of his own people. However, he did not tell Levi about Gloria's matter. What he was going to do next was to search for some magical herbs to help them recover. To look for Gloria for the list of Bonemasters, Floyd went to the Heavenly Base. Right then, he spotted a few Heavenly Guard gathered together, seemingly gossiping away. He then halted in his tracks, wanting to hear what they were talking about. “Did you hear about this? Azure Dragon and the others' spiritual bones had been removed!” “I heard about that! I even know that Crown King originally hid Azure Dragon and the others away, but Floyd used a secret way of communication to get them out of their hiding. He ended up screwing them over!” “That's right. I heard that some witch has bewitched Floyd. He ended up hurting his own friends. Poor Azure Dragon and his gang!” “Now the entire Heavenly League knows that Floyd was the one who hurt his own people! After all, how can you possibly out manipulate the pride and joy of Ecclesiastic Order?” Hearing that, Floyd turned furious. He had the urge to walk over to them to punch them, but he managed to hold himself back. Initially, Levi had managed to console him into a better mood. That was why he was focused and determined to look for magical herbs for Azure Dragon and the others' recovery and the list of Bonemasters. However, that good mood turned foul after overhearing the guards' conversation. Again, the guilt bloomed in his chest to the point it was out of his control. Does the entire Heavenly League know about this? Although Levi and the rest said that this isn't my fault, I was the reason this happened. They'd already gone into hiding, but I called them out. Although I did not have ill intentions when I did that, I bore selfish thoughts. When he thought about how Gloria told him to do it, he felt the responsibility of the incident weighing heavier on his shoulders. Of course, Floyd still felt that the incident had nothing to do with Gloria. Everything was his fault. The guilt was almost crushing him. He was especially angry to hear them call her a witch, but the guilt over the incident was a stronger emotion. He was the one who got Azure Dragon and the other four in this situation. Meanwhile, when the few guards noticed Floyd staring in their direction, they hurried away awkwardly. Yet, that only made Floyd even more upset. After that, while he was on his way to Gloria, groups of people kept looking at him and whispering things under their breaths. To Floyd, it seemed like they were all talking about his matter. Thus, he felt guiltier and guiltier over time, and that feeling was starting to overwhelm his mind. As long as someone was looking at him, he felt that they were talking about him. Floyd turned paranoid, and he was starting to lose his mind. Every time someone spared him an extra glance, he would assume that they were talking bad about him. Those words of theirs kept repeating in his head. “Floyd's the one who set Azure Dragon and the others up!” “Floyd was put under a spell by that witch!” Those words were reverberating in Floyd's mind, as loud as thunder. His guilt turned more and more intense as he continued blaming himself for the incident. Once he was in a remote spot, he began venting his emotions. He pressured himself to the point he was barely human. He retched out blood, and he even started hallucinating. In his hallucinations, Levi, Zoey, and the rest were blaming him for the incident. Even Azure Dragon and the other four, whose faces were a deathly pallor, were jabbing a finger in his face and blaming him for the matter. Right then, Gloria appeared. A sneer grew on her face. Truthfully, she had been watching Floyd for a long, long time. It was just that she never showed herself to him. She had watched Floyd slowly descent into madness. That was the moment she had been waiting for. That was the darkest moment of Floyd's life. If she were to appear at that time, she would become the light at the end of Floyd's tunnel. In other words, she would become the person Floyd would trust most. She would become the one who could control him. From then on, Floyd would be her puppet. He would do anything she asked of him. She would be able to control him from the shadows. A woman like her was an intelligent but shrewd person.
