Chapter 3532 Part Of Her Plan

Phoenix nodded, as that, too, was how she thought about it.

Given that Floyd, who was supposed to be the riskiest choice, was targeted by the woman, it was evident she was trying to assassinate him.

By combining the news that Floyd had provided-Gloria had recently abandoned him again and again, there was a high chance she wanted Floyd dead. Previously, they had suspected that something was wrong with Floyd and considered the possibility he had been cheated.

But now, they were sure that he was related to that faction, just that he wasn't aware of it.

Thus, they wondered how they should connect Floyd with that faction and came to realize the answer lay with the woman from West Pavilion-Gloria.

Levi's conclusion that the faction was in West Pavilion further cemented their belief.

Nonetheless, Azure Dragon reminded, "This remains conjecture on our part, as we do not have a single shred of evidence at all.”

"That's right. If we speculate without basis and tell Boss, we might be accused of trying to sow discord."

"All this while, we never had a case of betrayal or anything even close to it. Thus, we can never raise this matter unless we have solid proof. Until then, everyone is forbidden from mentioning it." Cognizant of the rationale behind it, Phoenix and the rest agreed, "You're right. Evidence! We need irrefutable evidence!"

"From now on, we won't sit idly by and do nothing. We have to investigate!"

"Our investigations should focus on nothing else other than Gloria. We should replace out everything about her. Until we replace any proof, we have to keep this a secret, especially from Boss and Floyd." With that, everyone came to a consensus.

"Hmm? What about me?"

At that moment, Floyd arrived coincidentally and heard his name mentioned by Azure Dragon and the other four.

Azure Dragon smiled. "We were just worried about you and wanted to see if you were shocked."

"I'm fine. I, too, was equally worried and came to check on you guys."

After both sides made some idle chatter, Kirin thought of something and asked, "By the way, did you manage to get a clear look at the assassin?"

"Huh? About that..."

The images from that moment flashed across his mind.

In that instant, he could see Gloria's blurry shadow viciously bearing down upon him with God Crusher in hand.

It must have been a hallucination. How can it be Gloria? Of all the people trying to kill me, Gloria would never be among them. I must have thought of her in the face of death. After all, she will be among the regrets I'll have in the event of my death.

"How is that possible? Given how strong the attacker was, there's no way I could've gotten a good look."

Floyd laughed awkwardly.

Kirin asked in a solemn tone, "What if the person piercing you with the sword is the one you love the most?"

Swoosh!

Floyd's expression drastically changed.

He hadn't expected Kirin to bring up what he was just thinking about.

This is too much of a coincidence.

"Haha, I'm just joking. Look at how nervous you are! I was just trying to test you to see if you were still traumatized by the sword attack."

Kirin broke into instant laughter.

"You have given me a fright. And here I was, thinking that you knew something."

Floyd patted his chest.

After going their separate ways, Floyd continued with his training.

Having assumed that Gloria was disappointed in him, he endeavored to double his efforts to strengthen himself.

I don't want to feel useless or be a burden! Instead, I want to be Master's right-hand man!

He hoped that the next time he met Gloria, he would no longer be the same man.

However, he was oblivious that igniting the motivation for his relentless training was also part of Gloria's plan.

Her ultimate goal was to sow discord between him and Levi so that he would see the latter as his enemy, and at the crucial moment, stab Levi to cause him grievous injury.

In order to assassinate Levi, she not only needed someone close but also someone powerful.

Floyd, in his current condition, was far from enough.

For the plan to work, he had to grow stronger.

That was the reason why Gloria needed to trigger him into training hard.
