Chapter 21: Gather
Meanwhile, at Levi's parents' mansion, Alex had gathered more people.
They gathered on a larger sofa where a group of men in black suits stood behind each sofa.
The ones who came were of various ages, there were men aged 25, 29, to 30.
Each of them had expressions full of confidence, eyes that were sharp and cold.
However, when they gathered, Jenny actually chose to sit alone in the corner, no longer next to Alex.
When they started talking, she played with her cell phone more.
"I didn't expect that the sleeping man would become so strong after waking up. The secret must be amazing, if I can get it," said the 25-year-old.
He was wearing a shirt with the top button open so that half his chest was revealed.
Leaning back and crossing his legs, he smokes a brown cigar that can exhale thick smoke.
"Paul, remember that the important thing for us is to kill him. Looking for his secrets only complicates the matter. If he was alone, we might be able to do it, but he's with that woman, Charlotte," said 29-year-old Aaron.
He was actually still wearing his work clothes, a white shirt and red tie with glasses on his face.
"Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky," Paul replied with a faint smile.
"We'd better plan ahead, let's not imagine too much. Now that he's still with Charlotte, what can we do? We all join forces, she only needs one move to make us lose." A 30-year-old man also spoke, asking them to be serious.
His name was Ramsey.
Paul and Aaron were a bit unsure how to respond due to his suggestion.
They hadn't thought of any plans either.
In the end, they looked at Alex.
"Alex, what do you think? Here, you're the one with the biggest problem because your family took the most of the boy's parents' assets. In this city, we're just a branch and we just happen to be in the same guild as you," Paul said.
Alex knitted his brows at that.
His eyes glanced at his cell phone for a while before replying, "I just received information that they went to the Twilight Forest Valley. Miss Charlotte went alone while Levi is still in the car. It's easier for us now."
"Ohhh..." Hearing that information, everyone looked happy.
"If he's just by himself, then this won't be difficult. He's at most only at the Eleventh Stage if he also gains experience by passing through the other floors, even if he has high combat power, he'll be helpless in front of all of us," Aaron said.
"Is everyone already here?" Suddenly there was a sound from outside the door.
When the door opened, a blond young man accompanied by two bodyguards stepped in.
He was all dressed in a long coat, looking very striking as his noble aura was clearly visible.
Anyone could immediately tell that he wasn't just an ordinary rich man.
Except for Alex and a few people, the rest were very surprised when they saw him.
"What is Lancelot doing here?" They wondered in low voices.
This one had too strong a background.
He was a member of a family that controlled the economy of Europe, even the world before the cultivation era.
That was of course the Rothschild Family.
And that family's influence has in fact only become stronger since the cultivation era.
They had many powerful methods and techniques, even their members had high talent.
Since he came, Alex immediately stood up, followed by the others.
"Brother Lancelot, welcome to my little house," Alex said with a faint smile.
Lancelot didn't seem interested in formalities.
He waved his hand for everyone to sit down again.
He himself sat in the main seat provided.
"Can you tell me who this Levi is? I wasn't originally interested in joining you guys, but he suddenly made me very unhappy," he said after he sat down.
Hearing him say that Levi displeased him, the others looked at each other with strange expressions.
They could guess what made him unhappy.
It was obviously because of Charlotte since it was no secret that he pursued that woman but was always ignored by her.
"Mr. Lancelot, it seems you can't accept Miss Charlotte choosing another man." Jenny who had been silent suddenly spoke while laughing softly.
"However, all of us here know that Miss Charlotte is not really a young lady. She is already in her 40s, only made young by swallowing certain pills," she added.
The others might not dare to talk about this because it was like a mockery, but Jenny seemed to have an easier time talking about it because she was a woman.
Lancelot stared at her hearing that.
With a faint smile, he replied, "It's a matter of the heart. Who cares about age. What matters is that we look the same age. In the future, an age difference of 20 or even 100 years won't mean much if we can continue to get stronger. And who can argue with Miss Charlotte's beauty, I'm sure all the men here wouldn't mind being her husband."
He gazed around which made everyone laugh.
"That woman is so perfect. It's hard to find anyone better than her in the entire earth. Even if all the older women become young, I don't think there are many who can compete with her. Plus, she's never been married, so we can say she's a chaste young woman. I'm just too substandard compared to the young men pursuing her, so I don't dare to join." Paul said as he laughed.
He did not hide his admiration for Charlotte.
It was just that he knew his limits.
"It's a pity, she seems to like someone already, and he's also a young man," Jenny said with a faint smile as the men started talking about Charlotte with admiration.
What she said instantly made their expressions become rather ugly, especially Lancelot, his eyes became very cold.
"If I can't have her, then no other man can," he said.
Even his fists were clenched when he said that.
This showed how obsessed he was with Charlotte.
After that, he looked at Alex, waiting him her to explain who Levi was.
"Mm..."
At the same time, Jenny suddenly smiled widely.
She looked back at her phone, opening a photo-sharing social media app.
In the search, she wrote Levi's name until an account with a photo of Levi in his high school uniform appeared.
Of course, it was Levi's account.
Click!
Jenny even opened the account, which had many scenic photos but had not been updated for two years.
She scrolled down the page for a while before returning to the top.
A few times, she smiled in the process.
Actually, she followed the account, had for a long time, even liked every post, but she didn't get a followback from Levi.
After a while of observing the account, she then opened the account's direct messages.
There were several old messages she had sent where they consisted of single words or even just a letter like p, and none of them had gotten a reply.
Through those direct messages, she secretly took a photo of everyone here, and sent it to that account with the words (We here, members of the Immortal Guild, are gathered to plot the assassination of you.)
