Chapter 2025


    Marcus and Vanderson were struck dumb by themotion they witnessed. “Goodness gracious! Do


    these people want to die?” they eximed.


    Boom! Boom!


    …


    From below, a swarm of dark shadows leaped onto the ship, then the ship was surrounded by a small


    army of boats.


    “Someone’s attacking us! We must protect the sunstones at all costs!” Vanderson gathered the aces to


    prepare for defense.


    However, as soon as Vanderson stepped out of his cabin, he noticed a man standing on the ship’s


    stern. With his hands behind him, the man stood still overlooking the devastation he had caused on the


    ship as if he were a god.


    “End them! No one shall take away anything that belonged to Erudia!”


    At the end of Levi’smand, the massacre began.


    …


    The Lab of Gods was quite unperturbed by the escort of the sunstones since they had assumed no one


    would dare to go against them. Thus, only minimal settlements were arranged for the escort team.


    Unfortunately, they just had to face Levi.


    Levi’s enemies were quickly annihted.


    He even treated the battle like a training ground for Azure Dragon and his team.


    “Make haste and move all the sunstones! Remember to relocate them to our designated location and


    leave no trails!”


    The mission waspleted in three minutes thanks to Levi’s precisemands and the efficiency of


    Azure Dragon and his team.


    There were no survivors following the attack, and the sunstones were sessfully retrieved.


    Everything happened so expeditiously that the people on the ship couldn’t send out SOS signals. It was


    as if they had quietly vanished into thin air.


    Levi didn’t arrange for the sunstones to be returned to Erudia because it might expose their motives


    when everyone’s gaze was already fixed on Erudia.


    Levi remained at the highest point throughout the mission, watching everything fall into ce.


    “Bruce Johnston, I bet on my name that you can never bring even a single piece of sunstone back to


    Zarain from Erudia!” he snickered before disappearing into the darkness.


    Meanwhile, Jefferson and the Four Heirs went to a nightclub to loosen up.


    Ryker also spent his evening having dinner with two gorgeousdies,pletely forgetting about his


    worries.


    They didn’t even bother to check on the transportation progress and only awaitedpliments by


    Bruce.


    Bruce himself was acting in the same rxed manner. A few hours ago, he was still cautiously


    monitoring the transport ship’s whereabouts. Gradually, he let his guard down and paid little attention to


    it.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He was sure no one in the world would dare challenge their authority andy hands on their ship.


    Bearing that thought in mind, Bruce fell asleep soundly.


    I believe the transport ship will arrive at its destination when I wake up.


    …


    After an extended span of investigation, the forces in Erudia, particrly The Cardinal Hall and


    Dragonites, have finally made a breakthrough regarding the sunstones.


    Not only that, but they also had a clearer vision of Bruce and the Lab of Gods’ dirty schemes – they


    were targeting Erudia simply because of its abundant sunstone resources.


    Previously, Bruce had summoned his men to transport the sunstones from Erudia after being tricked by


    Levi.


    Ultimately, it was toote for Erudia’s forces to stop Cryptic Stream Corporation from mining the


    sunstones.


    The sixnds with the most sunstones to mine were now legally owned by Cryptic Stream Corporation,


    so no forces could stop them and could only watch their rival exploit the minerals freely.


    The forces were overwhelmed with regret.


    If only they had been more alert to the situation! Nheless, they were too focused on Levi’s actions


    to notice Cryptic Stream Corporation’s ns.


    They were well aware that Levi had always been the sole leader in this field.


    “If the Lab of Gods sessfully exploited the sunstones, it would pose a serious threat not only to


    Erudia but also to the entire world!”


    The Cardinal Hall were appalled.


    …


    The night went by quietly.


    The next morning, Bruce woke up and after he freshened up, he asked his subordinate, “By the way,


    where is the transport ship currently? It should reach its destination in an hour’s time, ording to the


    estimated arrival time.”


    “Master, we are not inmunication with the ship, but we are certain that it willnd in an hour. Don’t


    worry!” the subordinate reassured him.


    Bruce was unbothered and casually had his breakfast, thinking the ship would probably be there by the


    time he finished his meal.


    An hour passed in a blink of an eye, yet the transport ship was still nowhere to be seen at its


    designated port.


    “What’s going on?” Bruce’s face darkened as he swiftly instructed, “Get in contact with Marcus right


    now.”
