Pfft!
One question was enough to make a confident Levi feel despondent instantly, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He did not know how Zoey's condition was. His mother, daughter, and Mia were all in the hands of The Cardinal Hall.
It was a really challenging time for him.
“Don't worry, Levi. Your family is doing very well at The Cardinal Hall. Although you are Fiery Demon's heir, that doesn't mean they will be seen in the same light! Your child and sister are exceptionally talented and have been accepted as our disciples. Forlevia, with her rare talent, will be groomed as a future leader. Nevertheless, I feel you should pay them a visit,” The Dark Lord slyly commented.
All those present were full of respect for The Cardinal Hall, praising them for being magnanimous toward the family of an infamous demon. His family should have been eliminated as well.
However, if one read between the lines, especially his last sentence, one would understand it was quite the opposite.
Urging Levi to visit his child and mother could have a double meaning. If taken literally, he was telling Levi The Cardinal Hall was taking good care of his family. The hidden meaning was that his family was in their hands and he had better do as he was told. It was in fact blackmail in disguise.
Your mother and your child are in our hands.
Don't you dare go against us! That was the real message they were trying to send across.
Levi could only helplessly reply, “Sure! I would like to see my mother and my child.”
He did not have a choice as he understood the veiled threat, and so, he had to submit to them.
Come what may, he could not risk the lives of his mother and child.
It was more important to see for himself that they were safe.
He planned to head to The Cardinal Hall first, hoping he would be able to save Forlevia, Emma, and Mia.
Before leaving with The Dark Lord and the other warriors from The Cardinal Hall, Levi secretly left hints for the Seven Fiends, so they would know his whereabouts.
Levi had many pressing matters to attend to at that moment.
Besides the safety of his family in The Cardinal Hall, Zoey was his other worry, but at least she had Wynona to protect her. Levi had already seen Wynona's impressive combat abilities and knew other than the top three on the Gem List, no one else was her match.
His other grave concern was the second stage of action that Okano mentioned...
Too many urgent matters needed his attention, so he had to plan his moves carefully.
