Edmund was right. Levi couldn't have given them the resources they needed to get this far. He was no longer the star of the show. All that was left was a distant memory of him.
“I know he's your leader, and you adore him. But none of you can do anything back when he saved the world time and again. Don't you want to catch up or even surpass him?” Edmund asked again, and Kirin and his gang just kept quiet.
They admitted that he was right. It was despairing to see they couldn't do anything to help back when Levi needed them. Since then, they swore they'd catch up to Levi no matter what.
Matching up to Levi's power had always been their ultimate goal, and they even dreamed of surpassing him. Three years later, they achieved that goal. Now, they were standing on a pasture Levi had never achieved.
“But now you've proven yourself. You're stronger than your boss. Honestly, I really wish he could be here to see you guys. He'd be happy.” Edmund smiled.
He was just saying that Levi was weak, but still, Kirin and the others loved what they heard. First, he didn't insult Levi. Not only that, he admitted that Levi was important to them. Secondly, he acknowledged their power.
“Do you still think I can't lead Garrison Industry now?” Edmund asked again.
Nobody argued since
Kirin and his gang had to
admit that he was a good leader.
“Oh, and I bring big news as well.”
Everyone sat up straight.
“An ancient site in Erudia is going to cough up an ancient weapon soon. Once it shows up, the whole world is going to fight for it. They'll do anything to get their hands on this weapon.”
Edmund looked at everyone. “This weapon is important to us, so it cannot fall into the hands of those foreigners. We'll take it no matter what, and I'll help you guys. Whatever you do, get that weapon back, understand?”
“Yes, sir!” Everyone nodded.
“Get ready then. This is going to be a tough fight. Probably the toughest one!”
