“To recuperate, and to kill someone.”

Levi wasn’t lying. It was essentially what he did in Keerea.

“Speaking of recuperation… It’s amazing that you’re fully recovered now,” Zoey smiled, taking his word for it.

Life went back on track after their reunion. However, the news that Levi was back in Erudia had spread like wildfire,

stirring up negative sentiments among the people.

“How dare this traitor show his face here!”

“He should be hanged for treason!”

As his name was not cleared, many called to have his head on a stick. Even Emma was targeted by some of the

more vigorous jingoists.

Despite the grim situation, Levi knew he had to tough it out for a while longer to evade undue attention from the

enemy and to keep Prince William and his ilk in the dark.

At the moment, he focused on the operation of investigating and tracking down The Avengers.

It would not take very long for Prince William to realize that the drug was a fake. Hence, he needed to act fast.

West Sky Lord approached him with a stack of documents. “Master, I’ve collated the intel from the investigation

over the past two months. Please have a look. These documents contain the information you requested—all the

suspicious cases of criminal suspects in the last century who had supposedly committed heinous crimes but were

not convicted and had either gone missing or were assumed dead.”

He highlighted a particular profile to Levi. “Take this guy for example—Eugene Gordon. He was once the patriarch

of the richest and most powerful family in the South. That family had disappeared overnight, and he was also

presumed dead. Before that happened, it was said that he had been secretly selling national treasures on the black

market. If convicted, it would be a major offense.”

Levi drummed a finger on the table, reading Gordon’s profile carefully. “He was dead just as he was about to be

convicted? It’s suspicious indeed. Was his body ever found?”

“No. The case eventually went cold because they couldn’t find his body.”

West Sky Lord handed him another dossier. “There’s also this guy—Jay Wagner. He was the specialist combat

instructor for the Northern troops forty years ago. They found him guilty of leaking classified information to foreign

countries. It was said that he had killed himself just before his final trial and the body had gone missing.”

Levi nodded. “It’s another suspicious case.”

West Sky Lord went on. “Skylar Shenton was the godson of the head of the Northrush Clan. He would have been the

next in line for the clan head position if he weren’t such a bad egg. After committing countless atrocities, they

eventually banished him from the clan. Just as he was about to be brought to justice, he escaped overseas and

stayed off the grid ever since.”

“I see. Carry on.”

Several other suspects were highlighted in West Sky Lord’s presentation, all of whom matched the modus operandi

of The Avengers.

If the Erudian government had not attempted to prosecute them, they would have been the cream of the crop in

society, leading extravagant lives. Hence, they blamed Erudia for ruining what they had. It was plausible that they

banded together to form The Avengers because of their hatred.

“I wouldn’t be surprised that all of those who you just listed are part of The Avengers,” Levi said pensively. “They

have the motivation and the resources to do it.”

He pondered the next move carefully. “Good job, West. See if you can match these profiles to the ones we know in

The Avengers.”

“Understood! Master, there’s one last profile you should see…” He grimaced. “It’s pretty appalling. And the suspect

is a woman.”

It immediately reminded Levi of Black Phoenix. “How appalling?”

Curiosity piqued, he took the documents and started perusing.
