Chapter 3709 Only Child
Gloria and the others were confused as well because Forlevia had somehow managed to
sneak out of the base undetected, despite the fact the base was heavily surrounded.
“No need to worry about it too much, Gloria. She’s just a kid. There’s nothing much she
can do,” Grant comforted when he saw Gloria’s frown.
“You may not know about this, but Evie is the most powerful fighter on the base after Levi.
Her sudden departure makes no sense. Many people currently on the base are Levi’s
friends and family. She should’ve stayed there and protected them. Something is definitely
going on. Maybe this is a scheme of some sort?” Without hesitation, Gloria told him
everything she was thinking about.
Xylas uttered in a deep voice, “Your worry isn’t unfounded, Master. However, from another
point of view, this isn’t difficult to understand. After all, Evie is Levi’s only child. They

why they let her leave, hoping that she’ll survive and come back with a vengeance in the
future.”
Wade added, “That makes sense to me. Lord Gloria, I believe we should keep an eye on
the movements inside the camp. As for the runaway kid, we can use Zoey and Levi to bait
her out when we attack the base. I don’t believe she can stand by and watch her parents
and friends be murdered.”
Gloria felt a little relieved when she heard that.
It was then her communication device buzzed. Upon pulling it out, she realized Floyd had
sent her a message to meet up.
“Go do what you all think should be done. I’m going to make good use of another pawn
that I have. Maybe I’ll be able to take down the base without even shedding a drop of
blood!” A sinister smile appeared on her face.
Everyone was puzzled by what she meant by that.
Not too long after, Floyd arrived at the meeting spot on time.
Despite her disgust, she still asked with care, “Did something happen? Why did you want
to meet me this badly? Did Levi find out you’re the one who assassinated him?”
Gloria’s heart clenched when she saw how down he appeared because she thought Levi
had recovered.
“No… Mas— Levi’s body is getting worse with each passing second. If not for the collective
efforts of the people on the base, he probably would’ve been dead by now,” Floyd replied.
She sighed with relief in her mind and asked, “Then why do you look so worried? Now that
Forlevia has left, you’re the one with the highest authority on the base. Even Zoey can’t
compare to you. What’s there for you to be worried about?”
Her intention was to guide him with her words and make him feel more confident in
himself so he could actually take control of Levi’s base.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she played her cards right with Floyd, she would be able to destroy the base without
lifting a finger.
“I think I’m in the wrong, Gloria. After all, Levi is my master. Both he and his wife have
always treated me really well. Now that he’s injured, if the tripartite alliance attacks the
base, all those people may die. This whole ordeal happened because of me! I’m a sinner!”
The more he spoke, the more emotional he became.
He even punched himself in the chest twice as regret took over his face.
“I also feel bad for failing you. Even though Levi treated you so harshly, my assassination
attempt failed. I don’t deserve to be called a man. I swore I would protect you, yet I failed
at everything I promised to do. I’m a useless piece of garbage! What’s the point of me
living like this?” Floyd’s emotions drove him to the brink of madness. Pulling out a dagger,
he then tried to stab his heart with it.
“What are you doing, Floyd?” Gloria quickly grabbed his arm.
“You aren’t a piece of garbage.” She began utilizing her amazing acting skills to
manipulate him.q
