They began to hesitate upon hearing that.
Do we tell him or not?
Edmund had an idea when he noticed the look of hesitation on their faces. “Let me guess... It's Levi, isn't it?”
It wasn't actually that hard of a guess as the higher-ups of Garrison Industry were all closely acquainted with Levi, so it would make perfect sense for him to be their leader.
Edmund chuckled when he saw the change in their expression upon hearing Levi's name.
Okay, this confirms it, then!
“So it really is Levi, huh? That man sure is exceptional for starting a company like Garrison
Industry, I'll give him that! Unfortunately, Levi has gone missing for a year now. I'm sure you guys know what that means more than anyone else, don't you?”
What started as a compliment took a sudden twist, and Edmund's words left them all pale as the words stabbed at their hearts.
They were less likely to feel worried if they knew for sure that Levi was dead.
After all, he had always turned out to be alive during his previous “deaths” and had been protecting Erudia in secret.
However, it was the first time Levi had been missing for a whole year, and that left a lot of room for imagination as to what happened to him.
It wasn't like him to just go missing like this, and that fact alone made it a lot scarier as something bad must've happened to him.
Garrison Industry had secretly sent people searching every corner of the world for Levi throughout the year, but they found no sign of him whatsoever.
As much as they hated to admit it, they all had a feeling that Levi could truly be gone this time.
“Levi being missing makes him as good as gone, so Garrison Industry is pretty much without a leader right now! There's no point in keeping the company if he's gone, so I'll just go ahead and remove his position as head of the company!” Edmund continued.
