“Good question.”
Slapping her forehead, Wynona suddenly recalled the grave issue at hand.
Jared! He’s the reason for all this! If he isn’t dead, wouldn’t my actions be in vain?
Zoey knitted her eyebrows. “If the old man hadn’t saved us, no one could have survived the blast.”
Wynona nodded.
That’s true.
The reason she had gained new powers was because she had only been exposed to a small amount of radiation.
A larger amount would have obliterated her instead.
“However, it would make sense for him to rescue everyone, including Jared,” Zoey analyzed.
Wynona remarked, “Perhaps, we’re most probably the only two survivors while Jared and his men are dead! Or
there’s still another possibility. The old man may have come specifically for us because he is someone related to
Levi. Hence, he would definitely not rescue Jared.”

“I agree. But, we’ll have to return to the training base to verify it.”
No one knows for sure if Jared is dead.
Meanwhile, Levi looked for Zoey all over Erudia enthusiastically.
At the same time, The Cardinal Hall kept sending out wanted notices for him.
His danger rating had risen to level eight.
In order to prevent him from reaching level nine, The Cardinal Hall issued The Cardinal Order (TCO) against him.
The edict was only issued under extremely desperate circumstances.
Upon issuance, The Cardinal Hall, Eragon, and any Erudian organizations had to obey it without question.
In fact, all the countries under Erudia’s influence had to comply and participate.
Anyone who went against it would be executed.
In simple terms, The Cardinal Order was an edict that mobilized all resources to kill its target, no matter the cost.
It would not be withdrawn until the target was dead.
Consequently, The Cardinal Hall issued one against Levi.
No one had expected them to take such a drastic move to order Levi to be killed.
Ever since The Cardinal Hall was formed, The Cardinal Order was only issued twice.
The first was when Cyrus emerged.
It was rescinded only after Cyrus’ disappearance.
The second was for Levi.
There was a saying in the martial arts world.
Once The Cardinal Order was issued, it was considered glorious for a martial artist to die executing it.
Hence, both Erudia and the entire world were shocked by The Cardinal Order.
The Dragonites lamented, “Is this the last resort? With TCO, no one will rest until Levi is killed.”
Leonidas, Robed Slayer, and Xenotoph might be able to take on Levi.
However, one had sealed himself away while the other two were nowhere to be found.
However, once TCO was issued, the elite warriors of Eragon prepared for battle, together with the strongest from

Given that these elites were their respective organization’s trump cards, they were kept secret and not listed on the
Gem&Stone List.
Therefore, no one truly knew the extent of The Cardinal Hall and Eragon’s power.
These elites seldom showed themselves. Most of the time, it was warriors like Kaiden who were sent out.
However, given how big a threat Levi was, they had to send their strongest fighters.
The moment TCO was issued, the sky darkened.
However, Levi didn’t seem to care as he continued his search for Zoey.
Meanwhile, Zoey and Wynona had sneaked back to the Gamma Tech training base.
They were shocked to see the entire training base was reduced to rubble.
What a massive power!
By then, the rescue teams had completed their work and there was not a soul left.
“Come, let’s go and take a look.”
Both of them entered the training base.
“Ah!”
