Randy and his men smiled.
This seems too easy.
It’s entirely different from what the Dragonites had described. They must have misled me on purpose.
“Hmm?”
However, they were stunned to find Byron curled up in a corner, not moving a muscle.
“Byron, we’re here for you. Let’s go!” Randy urged.
However, Byron looked at Levi with his face covered in tears.
He didn’t dare leave without Levi’s permission.
It made no difference to him that the envoy from Zarain was there. He was still just as terrified.
“Hmm? What’s the problem? Why aren’t you moving? Come, let’s go now!”
Randy went up to Byron and dragged him along.
Byron screamed in terror, “No, I can’t leave. Without his permission, I dare not leave!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtByron didn’t dare risk it.
If Levi did dismantle his robotic parts, he would certainly die.
“What’s going on?”
Only then did Randy and the others realize what the holdup was.
Byron needed Levi’s permission to leave.
“What do you want? Why don’t you let me leave with my man?” Randy questioned Levi.
Sipping a cup of coffee, Levi replied with a smile, “I’m not stopping you. In fact, I even gave you the key. It’s him
that refuses to leave!”
“Why don’t you want to leave?”
Everyone turned their attention to Byron.
With a fearful expression, Byron explained, “I can’t leave without his permission!”
When they saw how frightened Byron was, everyone felt angry and powerless at the same time.
His behavior had disgraced Zarain.
Randy stared Levi in the eye. “Tell him right now that you agree to let him leave!”
Rico and Severus added, “Levi, grant him permission at once! Now that the envoy from Zarain is here, we can put
an end to the matter. If we continue to mess around, things will go out of hand!”
“Exactly. I’m sure that you understand, given that you used to be a high-ranking official of Erudia. Let’s end this
quickly!”
Levi was outraged. “What’s wrong? Who is the one that had committed a crime? He came to Erudia to steal and
was caught red-handed. We have the proof and reason necessary to imprison him!”
“Are you proposing to let him off scot-free?”
“This…”
Rico and Severus were stumped.
Randy was infuriated. “That’s your problem. All I care about is leaving with him. Release him now!”
“I won’t do so! Let’s see if he dares to leave without my permission,” Levi bellowed angrily.
Byron trembled as Levi’s words struck fear into him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Levi, you have gone overboard now. Do you know who we are? We are envoys sent by Zarain to secure his
release. Let him go at once or prepare to suffer the consequences!”
Randy played hardball as he was adamant that Levi should release Byron.
“I don’t care who you are! Heck, it doesn’t matter even if you are God himself! As long as he has committed a
crime, he has to be punished for it! Get out now! All of you, get out!”
Despite how aggressive they were, Levi was way more domineering than them.
However, Randy dragged Byron out in defiance. “Let’s go! Whoever tries to stop us will be going against Zarain
itself.”
“Try me.”
Levi stared at Byron.
However, Byron dropped to his knees and pleaded, “You guys should just leave without me! If you really want to
save me, you will need his permission. That’s the only way.”
After giving Byron a look of disappointment, Randy stormed off in anger.
Before he left, he threatened Levi, “You started this. And now, you have made enemies of Zarain!”
