Chapter 3948 Stalling For Time
Larissa could clearly sense that the sender of the message was getting more and more
anxious. “Who’s Albert?” asked Cheriette with curiosity.
Most of Cheriette’s time was spent cultivating within the sect. Any news of the outside
world was given to her by the elders of the sect.
Thus, Cheriette knew about Cordierite Association but knew nothing of its leader.
“As far as I know, Albert Fitzgerald is the Chairman of Cordierite Association,” replied
Larissa gravely. “The Willowbank branch is ranked second in the whole organization. This
means that Albert Fitzgerald has immense power. A mere fart from this man is able to
affect the decision-making process and turn things around.”
Cheriette turned pale with shock. Albert Fitzgerald is not someone to be trifled with!
Now that Levi had completely massacred the elites of Cordierite Association, this created
a very big problem. As things stood, there was going to be no room for negotiations. “Lord
Garrison, how do we respond?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCheriette turned to look right at Levi. “Tell them that everyone’s dead,” said Levi
indifferently. “So what if it’s Cordierite Association? I’ll just kill them again if they choose to
take revenge.”
Larissa and Cheriette’s hearts sank. While it was true that Levi had the skills to combat
them, Cordierite Association was still a goliath entity in the area.
Even Prime Association was no match for them, especially when it came to combat force.
Cordierite Association consolidated power due to sheer strength. In the early stages of its
development, they had resorted to plenty of underhanded tricks like murder and extortion.
With the expansion of Cordierite Association, they then turned to more “righteous” forms
of business.
It was precisely due to Cordierite Association’s reputation for brute strength in the early
stages that many of the most vicious and powerful casual cultivators in Kenworth joined
them.
Moreover, the number of new recruits kept snowballing. They have thus become a very
important part of Cordierite Association’s vast combat reserves.
In particular, the Willowbank branch was especially powerful. Its garrison ranked among
the best within the major branches of Cordierite Association.
Levi had so far only managed to kill off a third of their men.
Such a flippantly belligerent response from Levi was therefore deemed worrisome.
“Master, you still need to forge Boots of Hermes and cannot be disturbed. Why don’t I try
stalling them first? When you’re done forging what you need, we can tell them the truth.
What do you think, Master?” asked Larissa cautiously.
Levi briefly fell silent before finally approving Larissa’s proposal.
“Thank you for your approval, Master.”
Larissa immediately boarded the cloudship with the communication device in her hand.
One could not send out messages without it being paired with the cloudship. However,
incoming messages could be received.
Fortunately, Larissa had utilized the cloudship before. Since there was nothing to block the

She informed them that the situation in Dragon’s Grave Valley was quite complicated. Due
to the sheer number of magical herbs to be gathered, they were going to be a few days
late.
Cordierite Association had initially been ready to send a team to investigate. After hearing
the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Albert felt that his worries were misplaced this time around.
With Gavin leading the troops, combined with their combat prowess, they can easily
handle themselves in a fight against any unknown sects. Thus, it was unlikely for a whole
garrison to be wiped out.
I understand why complications may arise. All these secret areas have strange and
complicated attributes that allow for these magical herbs to manifest.
Uncovering these mysteries will take time. A month, a few years, who know?
Having thought of this, Albert and the other Cordierite Association council members did
not let their thoughts dwell on the matter. As such, they were going to wait patiently for
Gavin to return with his hands full of treasures.
