Levi felt the battle in Myka’s mansion from afar and heaved a sigh of relief.
“If not for Spider Sensing, I might have wanted to steal some other treasures from Myka’s mansion.”
“Levi, you’re too greedy. Ambergris is enough, but you had such a scary thought,” Levi warned himself.
He was increasingly discovering how difficult it was to eradicate greed, which was human nature.
People die for wealth; birds die for food. It was as the ancients say.
Fortunately, he had Spider Sensing, so he knew when to be greedy and when not to.
Levi’s desire might deceive him, but Spider Sensing would not!
“Myka isn’t in the mansion,” Levi said.
The official thought this old fox must have gone to hide in the shelter he had prepared in advance.
Levi sent the official to the entrance of his mansion.
The official said as if he still had something on his mind, “Sir, thank you for your help. I still have something to do so I won’t be with you.”
Levi nodded.
He looked at the rapidly disappearing official.
He smiled.
Would anyone be willing to help without some self-interest in mind?
With that, he quietly followed.
Not long after, a package appeared on Levi’s back. Other than the sealed ambergris statue, some valuable jewelry and gold coins were in the box. Levi estimated that the total value of these jewelry and gold coins should be more than 2,000 Tuva gold coins.
“He’s just a small office in the Finance Department. How can he be so rich?” Who knew if he had committed fraud along the way?
Levi sighed. Human nature has always been greedy since ancient times.
In any era, corrupt officials would always be the country’s bane.
The inner city area was too dangerous. Levi could vaguely sense that there were other experts other than the Fist of the Empire and the military minister, so he did not dare to stay any longer.
His primary purpose for coming to the Holy City had already been met.
He obtained 25 bottles of ambergris and a statue made of ambergris.
Ambergris could also be used as a secret medicine, so this was not a problem.
Levi estimated this statue alone was worth at least 100 bottles of ambergris.
If he sold it in the Emerald Kingdom, it would start at 30,000 gold coins!
“From now on, I no longer have to worry about ambergris. I’ve finally achieved financial freedom!”
Levi’s heart was filled with excitement.
Most importantly, all this ambergris was obtained for free.
The money that Levi had spent so much effort to earn was useless.
“There are still a few things I need to do. After I’m done, I can leave. The Holy City is in chaos now, so it’s more convenient for me to do things,” Levi sneered.
He first went to the cellar where the Bird of Death’s Voice assassin was hidden.
This cellar was located in a dilapidated house that had long been abandoned. It was very hidden.
Next, it was suitable for him to hide temporarily.
The assassin was curled up in a corner with all her limbs crippled.
Seeing Levi arrive, she could not help but shiver.
“Next, I will ask you some questions. If you answer me honestly, I will give you a quick death,” Levi, wearing the White Wolf Mask, said.
“Otherwise, you’ll experience a state worse than death. Such a beautiful lady. You don’t want to suffer some cruel humiliation, do you?” Levi smiled maliciously as he looked at the assassin’s pretty face.
The assassin said indifferently, looking like she had nothing to live for, “Go ahead.”
“How many people did Bird of Death’s Voice send for this operation? How many Shadow Assassins are there?”
“A total of ten people have come. One is a Shadow Assassin, two are Gold Assassins, three Silver Assassins, and four Bronze Assassins.”
“Does the Bird of Death’s Voice have a stronghold in this Holy City?” Levi continued to ask.
Hearing this, Lady Thorn’s expression changed, and Levi caught her.
“How did you know?” she asked.
“Wait, the previous stronghold in Icewind City was also your doing? Why do you have to fight us? It won’t do you any good!”
“I’m asking you now, woman!”
Levi kicked Lady Thorn’s abdomen, causing her immense pain.
Frostmourne cut open the leather armor on the assassin’s chest, revealing her well-developed “chest muscles.”
Sensing the malicious gaze, Lady Thorn took a deep breath and said, “Yes.” “Where is it?”
“The Mass Grave is about five miles south of the outer city. The entrance is there, but I don’t know exactly where it is. I’m telling the truth,” Lady Thorn said.
“How many grand knights are there in the stronghold?”
“As far as I know, no, but I’m unsure if Lord Pale Shadow will go there.” “Do you have any last words?”
“I want to know who you are and why you are against our organization.
Anyway, I’m already a dead man. How about satisfying my little curiosity?” Lady Thorn asked sadly.
“Nothing else? You may die now.”
Swish.
Lady Thorn was beheaded using Frostmourne.
Levi brought the corpse to the abandoned fireplace and burned it with the Seal of Flame.
“I wanted to bring some trouble to the organization, but it seems it will be tough now. I shouldn’t take the risk with the uncertainty of a grand knight like the Pale Shadow. In the future, when I have the strength, I can take revenge at any time,” Levi muttered, then sat on the ground and ate.
After a fierce battle, Levi had exhausted a lot of his stamina.
“There are only two things to do next. Find Myka, take his head, and then trade with that old fellow to get the Giant Breathing Technique. I should be able to find my way home alone, but just in case, I’ll call Wild Dog Knight.” As for the Bird of Death’s Voice stronghold, Levi decided not to make a move.
“The Fist of the Empire is hunting down the military minister all over the city. It’s a good time for me to kill Myka. However, I don’t know where Myka is hiding now. Perhaps there is news of him from the Bloody Hand Gang in the outer city area. Regardless of whether it works or not, let’s give it a try. It just so happens that I need to settle the score with the Bloody Hand Gang.”
Levi remembered the massive loss of 1 gold coin and so many weapons.
Now that the entire Holy City was in a mess, it was a good time for him to settle the score.
After hiding his items well and ensuring that others would not discover them, Levi went to the Chamber of Commerce in the central city area. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the burning, killing, and looting, he looted some mithril.
Then, he repaired his Dragon Armor and chain mail with mithril from the blacksmith shop in the outer city area. Then, Levi headed towards the Bloody Hand Gang’s encampment.
Now, the outer city area was in chaos. Many gangs seemed to have been bribed by the rebel army and joined the army to attack the Fist of the Empire. These people could only be regarded as cannon fodder.
The knife-scarred man and his lackeys were all on guard in an abandoned winery in the Blood Hand Gang’s encampment.
“Everyone, be alert. Boss Bloody Hand is discussing something with a big shot in the inner city area.”
The knife-scarred man patted the head of his dozing underling and snarled, “Do you want to die? I haven’t slept for a day and a night, and you dare to doze off?”
At the same time, the scarred man did not notice a sect member on night watch captured by a pair of giant hands. The night guard disappeared silently..
