Chapter 3450 A Major Discovery
No! I have to investigate!
Besides himself with worry, word arrived from Gloria’s end via their secret channel just as
Floyd was about to set out in search of her.
In his haste to express how worried he had been, Floyd did not expect a man on the other
end.
His name was Callahan Wolden, Gloria’s most capable assistant whose absolute loyalty
earned him the honor of temporarily being in charge of all her affairs.
Callahan merely laughed at Floyd’s concerns.
“Look at you, dog! Do you imagine yourself worthy of Gloria? Stop dreaming! Even I do not
dare think of her that way. She will be a powerhouse soon, placing herself even further
beyond our reach!”
As per his orders, Callahan carried out his communication with Floyd in the manner with
which Gloria herself employed.
It was her who had arranged in advance for Callahan to communicate with the men she
controlled on her behalf to avoid any accidents that may jeopardize her plans.
Floyd was not the only one.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver twelve hours, Callahan had contacted and communicated with more than a hundred
people. All of them Gloria had charmed.
It was a task of great importance to her operations, to say the least.
As Floyd was a key target, Callahan was forced to invest more time in him than the names
on the list.
At the same time, he was also tasked to collect information about Levi’s movements.
After taking comfort from Gloria’s reassurance, Floyd felt empowered to resume his
cultivation.
Being a member of the West Pavilion and the son of Kevin Wolden, the lord of the West
Pavilion, afforded Callahan the luxury of resuming his task of calling the other names on
the list in the privacy of his secure residence.
Though the major factions have been conducting investigations in secret of late, nobody
would find him where he hid.
Callahan followed Gloria willingly because he, too, fell prey to her spell.
Unbeknownst to either of them, Levi was at that moment in the West Pavilion conducting a
secret investigation, which led him to Callahan’s residence.
It had come to his attention that the resident within those walls was attempting to make
contact with somebody on the outside via a secret channel of the Ecclesiastic Order.
Somebody has a lot of calls to make. A dozen of them had been placed within such a short
period!
Levi found it deeply suspicious.
They’re sending a message to specific individuals at specific locations around the world.
Why? Something fishy is going on.
By that point, Levi had amassed a general understanding of the people of the West
Pavilion.
“That must be Callahan, the son of the master of the West Pavilion!” he muttered to
himself. “Somebody convenient to be, indeed.”
“Though he is not a council member of the West Pavilion,” Levi went on, thinking out loud,
“the actual council would be only a phone call away. It’s more than likely that he would be
aware of some big secrets.”
However, Levi was well aware that he had bigger fish to catch than Callahan.
He is too careless to be the mastermind of all of it by exposing himself like that. There
must be someone controlling everything.
Levi could not think of many candidates whose rank and status were higher than even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCallahan’s.
It remained a point of conflict with Levi’s initial guess.
There aren’t many more whose ranks are higher than his. The Lord of the West Pavilion
should be the limit.
“I have my eye on you,” Levi whispered, a sneer curling his lips. “I’ll find out what you’re
up to.”
As the next step in pursuing that hunch, he would interrogate Callahan and the people
who were in contact with him.
No one, not even Gloria, expected her right-hand man to have exposed that easily.
As the week dragged on, more and more clues were uncovered by the Holy Guild.
All of which pointed to the Esoteric Guild.
Levi also conducted a comprehensive investigation of Callahan during that period.
However, the latter remained careful not to leave any evidence behind.
Levi was beginning to sense information regarding his quarry becoming sparser.
I need more time to gather the information I need.
At the exact moment at the Corpse Pit, the devourer spirit bone was finally transplanted
into Gloria’s body through the efforts of the five Bonemasters.
For the time being, everything still had the semblance of normalcy.
“One final step to go! We shall know that it has been a success once the spiritual bone
begins incorporating itself into your body!”
