Talon and Bolgun hurriedly held Zar back and motioned for him to hold his tongue.
They could tell that Winsor Campbell was eager to prove himself. He was not willing to live in the shadow of his predecessor throughout his tenure.
Zar cleared his throat. “Well, making a move will not be impossible, but...” he trailed off and paused briefly.
“But what?” asked Winsor.
“God of War, you should present your challenge to The Calamity as a civilian. Don’t drag any particular stance into this,” suggested Zar with a hint of hesitation.
“Well, that might actually work. The most important thing is for me to defeat The Calamity and win everyone over!”
“To guarantee my victory, I’ll go into seclusion for the time being.”
Winsor was eager to practice the combat skills Sampson taught him.
If my training is successful, then I’d challenge The Calamity. My chances of succeeding would be higher as well.
Winsor Campbell may have been of noble stock, but he had yet to face a real opponent.
For that reason, he’d always erroneously assumed that there were no other experts in the world.
Such thoughts had made him complacent.
As such, Sampson’s elusiveness was so great that news of his death never reached Winsor’s ears. He had no way of finding out at all.
Back in North Hampton, Zoey and Emma Jones had just received word from Levi over the phone.
“Mom? Levi said he’d be back soon,” said Zoey excitedly.
All this while, things had been normal.
Nobody had come for Forlevia’s head either, but Zoey had to maintain the charade.
Everyone assumed that Levi was dead, so they had to play the part of the grieving family.
After all, there were still strangers who had come to ask about information regarding the circumstances of Levi’s death. Hence, they had to play safe.
At the time, plenty of villains had shown up too.
Not too long ago, the Garrison clan in Oakland City was being taunted.
The Lopezes and the Black family, on the other hand, believed that Levi was clobbered to death by the Garrison clan.
Coupled with the fact that Dale Lehman had severed ties with Zoey, both the Lopezes and the Black family had been pushing for Zoey to find a backer.
