Chapter 2244 Personal Grudges

People began chiming in immediately, “Yeah! He has to protect his ego as a former overlord, after all!”

“Exactly! There’s no way he’d cry in pain when there are so many people watching!”

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how pathetic Levi will look when his body slowly dissolves into nothingness!”

Everyone began laughing at the thought of Levi dying a slow and agonizing death.

Levi then scanned the crowd around him as he said, “There, I’ve kept my end of the bargain! Isn’t it about time you let my wife go as promised?”

If anyone were to say no, Levi would really get mad and kill them in one slap right then and there.

“Well…”

Although some of them wanted to go against their word, they couldn’t bring themselves to say it in front of that many people.

“Very well! Since you’ve done your part, we’ll spare your wife as promised!” Edmund took the initiative to speak up, and everyone followed suit shortly after.

“Alright. We’re even now!”

Suddenly, Donald stepped forward and said, “Hold it right there! I have something to say! As of now, Zoey’s crimes against Erudia and the rest of the world have been forgiven. Do you understand what I mean, Levi?”

“Yeah, I do!” Levi replied with a nod as he knew what Donald was going to say next.

“Listen up, everyone! We’re sparing Zoey’s life today because we forgive her crimes against the world, but that doesn’t include our personal grudges against her! We will get our revenge today, and The Cardinal Hall isn’t allowed to stop us from doing so!” Donald continued.

What he meant was simple.

The world may have forgiven Zoey for her wrongdoings, but they were still going to hold her accountable for the personal grudges they had against her.

Edmund nodded in response. “Yes, I understand. The Cardinal Hall will not interfere with personal grudges!”

Donald was hell-bent on getting his revenge on Levi, but Levi didn’t care about that in the slightest.

All that mattered to him was the fact that he had appeased the world by stabbing himself a hundred times earlier.

“Of course! I’ve already taken the punishment for Zoey anyway! As for personal grudges… Well, feel free to bring it on! I’ll be waiting right here!” Levi said with a cold sneer.

He wouldn’t hesitate to fight back if they attacked him over personal grudges.

“Hahaha…”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Levi’s challenging us in that state? I bet he’d die without even knowing how! Do you think you can protect Zoey when you’re not even that powerful? Dream on!

“We shall now proceed to strip Zoey of her powers! To be fair, we’ll have The Cardinal Hall carry it out!”

Of course, Donald and his men haven’t forgotten Zoey’s part of the deal.

“I’ll do it!”

Edmund personally stripped Zoey of all her powers, and Levi let out a sigh of relief when he saw her cough up blood.

This way, Zoey is more likely to return to normal!

“There, you’ve all gotten what you came for! Both Levi and Zoey have been punished enough!” Edmund shouted, and it took about half an hour for the crowd to disperse completely.

However, Levi knew most of them were secretly hiding in the shadows where they continued to observe him.

That was especially the case for those who had a personal grudge against him as they wanted to see how long he would last in his pathetic state.

Those of high statuses like Edmund and Donald, on the other hand, actually left the area as sticking around shamelessly would tarnish their reputation.

Besides, they had constant access to information on Levi and would have plenty of opportunities to torture him later on.

“Haha… Levi’s about to drop that tough act now, isn’t he?”
