Chapter 4020 Absolutely Unnecessary
They wanted to evade the attack, but they felt as though their legs had frozen like ice. They could not
move even an inch. With the palm of the attacker fast approaching, the council members shut their
eyes tightly and waited for death to greet them.
No matter how much Quirina wanted to help, she knew she could not because the attacker’s targets
were the council members, not her. At that critical moment, a formidable force suddenly struck from the
southeast.
“Who is it?” The Cordierite Association fighter suddenly stopped when he noticed an elderly man in a
ck robe before him. Had he not evaded the old man’s palm strike, he would have been killed on the
spot.
Instead of answering the question, the mysterious man shifted his attention to Albert on the dragon-
shaped cloudship.
“It’s been a while since we’ve met, Mr. Fitzgerald. You remained as dashing as ever!” His voice
sounded powerful.
Albert was taken aback, but he quickly regained his senses.
“It’s been a while indeed, Mr. Burton. Are you here today to make an enemy of me too?” questioned
Albert somewhat angrily at the Vice Chairman of the Prime Association, Ebenezer Burton, whose
position far exceeded that of Sylvan. Ebenezer represented the association to some extent.
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
In other words, Ebenezer’s presence meant that the Prime Association was ready to burn bridges.
“What makes you say that, Mr. Fitzgerald? I’m simply here to negotiate with the Cordierite Association
in the Chairman’s ce,” answered Ebenezer.
When Albert realized that the Prime Association did not intend to fight, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fine. Let’s talk, then!” Albert agreed to negotiate without a second thought.
Then, the two used the Astre Lune Sect headquarters conference room as the venue for their
negotiation and began by discussingpensations.
After three hours of parleying, the two parties finally reached an agreement.
“It’s settled, Mr. Fitzgerald. The Prime Association will offer the nine-star ley line as the main bargaining
chip forpensation. The ultimate weapons and the magical herbs will be delivered within three
months ording to the negotiated quantity. The other sects’ losses will also bepensated
ording to your request. It’s up to the Cordierite Association to persuade the other sects not to act
rashly,” stated Ebenezer in a deep voice.
In response to that, Albert nodded. “Since the Prime Association is willing topensate so
generously, the Cordierite Association will be foolish to not y ball. You can rest assured that we’ll
appease the other sects. All the Prime Association has to do is ensure the payments are delivered to
our Willowbank branch on time.”
Besides the generouspensation the Prime Association offered, Albert was quick to strike a deal
with Ebenezer mainly because he had received an order from the headquarters.
It turned out that the Prime Association headquarters was alreadymunicating with the Cordierite
Association headquarters over amunication device when Ebenezer hurried over to Astre Lune
Sect for the negotiation.
In order to prevent a lose-lose situation that other sects could take advantage of, the Chairman of the
Cordierite Association decided to ept the other party’spensation and let Levi go.
After the negotiation, Albert immediately returned to Willowbank with his army, while the Prime
Association announced that Levi would be one of them from that moment on and that anyone who
opposed him would be making an enemy of the association.
The council members of Astre Lune Sect sighed and were relieved after the crisis was averted, so
much so that they almost danced in celebration.
Only after the matter was satisfactorily resolved did Levi, who was far away at Immortal Manor in
Lightspring, find out that so many things had happened in his absence.
“Damn it! That was absolutely unnecessary!” Levi was upset because he was sure he could have taken
the Cordierite Association army head-on.
At that moment, Sylvan hurried over.
