“Good question.”
Slapping her forehead, Wynona suddenly recalled the grave issue at hand.
Jared! He's the reason for all this! If he isn't dead, wouldn't my actions be in vain?
Zoey knitted her eyebrows. “If the old man hadn't saved us, no one could have survived the blast.”
Wynona nodded.
That's true.
The reason she had gained new powers was because she had only been exposed to a small amount of radiation.
A larger amount would have obliterated her instead.
“However, it would make sense for him to rescue everyone, including Jared,” Zoey analyzed.
Wynona remarked, “Perhaps, we're most probably the only two survivors while Jared and his men are dead! Or there's still another possibility. The old man may have come specifically for us because he is someone related to Levi. Hence, he would definitely not rescue Jared.”
Zoey nodded. “Mmm-hmm, it's probably one or the other. Regardless of which, it means Jared is likely dead.”
“I agree. But, we'll have to return to the training base to verify it.”
No one knows for sure if Jared is dead.
Meanwhile, Levi looked for Zoey all over Erudia enthusiastically.
At the same time, The Cardinal Hall kept sending out wanted notices for him.
His danger rating had risen to level eight.
In order to prevent him from reaching level nine, The Cardinal Hall issued The Cardinal Order (TOO) against him.
The edict was only issued under extremely desperate circumstances.
Upon issuance, The Cardinal Hall, Eragon, and any Erudian organizations had to obey it without question.
In fact, all the countries under Erudia's influence had to comply and participate.
Anyone who went against it would be executed.
In simple terms, The Cardinal Order was an edict that mobilized all resources to kill its target, no matter the cost.
It would not be withdrawn until the target was dead.
Consequently, The Cardinal Hall issued one against Levi.
No one had expected them to take such a drastic move to order Levi to be killed.
