The Protector (The Return of God Of War)

CHAPTER 1​

In Erudia, a private jet landed at North Hampton Airport, where all international flights experienced an eight-hour delay because of it.
At the private passageway were five men in suits and leather shoes, standing as straight as a javelin.

Every now and then, they would raise their wrist to look at the time, for a big shot was coming to town.
The upper-class society of North Hampton had learned about his arrival, but no one had the capability to get an inch closer to the private passageway.
Even the richest man in North Hampton who came to pay homage was chased away.
Finally, there were movements coming from the passageway.

“God of War!!!” the mass cried out, their eyes filled with awe and veneration at the sight of the undefeatable legend of Erudia.
He, who was dubbed the God of War, was the one and only five-star war God in the history of Erudia.
Once, he’d inflicted a crushing defeat on the strongest battalions in eighteen countries. He was an overbearing and formidable man.
He who overwhelmed the world with his unparalleled power had even created the Five Great Wars Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, and many more.
…
Setting foot on his homeland, Levi Garrison was overcome with emotions.
Once upon a time, he used to be an orphan who was abandoned on the streets of North Hampton and then adopted by the Garrison family.
However, the Garrison family had never been fond of him.
His adoptive parents, who had a tendency to beat and scold him, treated him like an outsider.
As for the outsiders, they treated him as a nobody.
But he didn’t care a stiver. He had always been proud of his surname since he was a child, and he strived to bring glory to this family when he grew older.
At last, Levi had established Levi Group, the largest dark horse in North Hampton’s business community.
With billions of assets, it ranked among the forefront of North Hampton, pushing the declining Garrison family to the top.
However, not only did the Garrison family showed no signs of appreciation, they even harbored dissatisfaction towards him. Jealous of his success, they regarded him as a thorn in their flesh and coveted Levi Group.
No matter his wealth and power, unless they were in control, he was just an outsider in the Garrison family’s eyes.
Eventually, on Levi’s wedding night, the Garrison family plotted a frame-up against him by getting him drunk before tossing him onto his sister-in-law’s bed. They wanted to create the illusion that he was doing something untoward to her and was caught in bed by his brother and adoptive parents.
That night, the Garrison family had brutally broken his limbs and left him on the road like a wild dog.
Not only was he handicapped, but he also had to take the flak for something he didn’t commit.
From an upstart in the business world, he had become the target of disdain overnight.
And the next day, he had been punished for several crimes and sentenced to six years in prison.
He could never forget the ruthless and sinister faces of everyone in the Garrison family and the ridicule of his friends, classmates, and business partners.
More so, he could never forget the disappointment on his newly wedded wife, Zoey’s face.
He had regarded the Garrison family as his home and devoted himself to the family.
Yet, they treated him like trash.
It felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart every time he thought about this.
How he hated the Garrison family!
But who would have thought that Levi had been secretly transferred away from prison to join the military?
In a few years, he dominated the military world and became the one and only five-star God of War.
Now that he came back, the Garrison family ought to stay on their toes.
“How’s it going, Azure Dragon?” Levi asked.
Azure Dragon, the commander of the Five Great Wars Regiment, took a step forward and said respectfully, “Sir, I’m afraid your wife, Ms. Zoey Lopez will remarry at ten o’clock tonight!”
Ever since Zoey’s husband was sent to prison on their wedding night, she had been living like a widow.
Only God knew how much pressure she was put under.
And right now, the person Levi couldn’t wait to see the most was Zoey.
After a moment of hesitation, Azure Dragon continued, “To add on, Sir, the Garrison family is holding a successful listing celebration banquet at the Crystal Palace Hotel tonight! Many people had invited the God of War just now, including the Garrison family, but I didn’t accept nor refuse directly.”
“What time?” Levi asked tersely.
“Eight o’clock, Sir.”
“Okay. Tell the Garrison family I will attend the banquet!”
Since the time for the two events didn’t clash, Levi gladly accepted the invitation.
The celebration banquet for the public listing of Garrison Group was held at North Hampton’s Crystal Palace Hotel.
With the help of Levi Group, they had become a rich and powerful family in one fell swoop.
The hall was bustling with noise and excitement, and sounds of glasses clinking could be heard ringing in the air every now and then.
“God bless the Garrison family,” said Joseph, the head of the Garrison family. “The younger generations are the stars among men. Garrison Group is now listed and has become an upstart in North Hampton!”
Joseph’s three sons and daughter welcomed their guests with bright smiles on their faces.
The younger generation of the Garrison family was all the smugger and prouder because, after today, the Garrison family would become a powerful family, and they would become one of the top rich kids.
Most of the guests who attended today’s banquet were from the top circle in North Hampton.
“Garrison, do you know what happened today?! Your celebration party is nothing compared to that.” They were gossiping about the major event that had happened today.
“Yeah! I heard that a big shot has arrived in North Hampton!”
“The richest man in North Hampton wanted to meet him but was shooed away. Apparently, he’s not qualified enough!”
“So? Jesse Nielsen had been waiting for five hours in advance at the airport!”
Joseph nodded. “Yes, I know about that too. I even sent someone to invite this big shot to the celebration party!”
“No way! Why would this big shot attend such a party?”
No one believed it.
In fact, as an upstart, Joseph was just trying his luck.
“Dad!” shouted Jaycob, the second eldest son of the Garrison family could be seen running over. “The big shot has accepted our invitation to attend our celebration banquet! He’s on the way!”
“Jesus! God has indeed blessed the Garrison family!”
Everyone in the Garrison family could barely conceal their delight as this was their chance to reach the sky in a single bound.
The grandchildren of the Garrison family gathered together, sunshine flooding their souls.
Levi’s brother, Bryan, and sister-in-law, Victoria, smiled. “Well, it all starts with Levi’s imprisonment that the Garrison family is at where we are today…”
“Right, speaking about Levi, do you guys know today’s the day that kid gets out of prison?!” somebody asked abruptly.
“Really? Isn’t that bad luck? Why did he have to be released on such a big day?!”
“Please, please, please don’t come back! He’s the Garrison family’s biggest disgrace!”
Victoria’s lips tugged into a sneer. “Speaking of which, Levi is the crowning glory of the Garrison family’s status today.”
“That’s what he’s supposed to do!” Bryan said. “He should contribute to the Garrison family for raising him, an orphan! His multi-billion Levi Group means nothing. To put it bluntly, he’s just a dog raised by the Garrison family!”
Someone gave a chortle. “As a matter of fact, I’ve been interested in Levi’s wife for a long time now. She’s still widowed, and I’m so going to marry her!”
The man’s remark caused gales of laughter.
“Everyone, stop what you’re doing. I have an important announcement to make,” Joseph said and went on to announce that the big shot was coming.
A thunderous applause was heard.
But when the applause had died down, there was still someone clapping.
The sound was loud and clear, approaching from afar.
On the red carpet, a man came clapping, looking bold and energetic.
His stride gave off a majestic and imposing aura, which made the mass hold their breaths.
“It’s Levi!” Bryan and Victoria exclaimed.
Suddenly, all eyes were riveted on him.
“I forgot this little brat got out of jail today!” Levi’s adoptive parents spoke in unison.
Ignoring the astonished gazes darted at his way, Levi walked step by step towards Joseph.
“A little bird told me that the company is now listed. How are you feeling, Joseph? Are you happy?”
Levi flashed him a meaningful smile.
“How dare you show up here, you insolent brat! And what did you just call me?” Joseph’s fury sprang to life.
“Who let him in? Didn’t you know he just got out of prison? How inauspicious!”
Bryan rose to his feet. “What the hell are you doing here, Levi?”
Levi sized him up. “Why can’t I be here?”
“Well, for starters, you’re an orphan! The Garrison family has raised you, but you were ambitious and ungrateful. You had inordinate ambitions for your sister-in-law, and you wanted to take possession of the Garrison family! You’d even tried to kill your parents when things go south! Have you no conscience? Do you have any sense of morality left in your heart?”
“You’ve lost your reputation in North Hampton, and everyone knows that. Have you no shame to have the brass neck to come round here?”

Chapter 1100​

Soon, voices were heard from the hallway.

A woman stepped into the room.

Burt and the rest were stunned by how pretty she was.

If she weren’t pregnant, her beauty would be comparable to Tiffany.

This was the first time they had seen someone as gorgeous as Tiffany.

“Are you Zoey Lopez?” Burt was the first to snap back to reality.

“Yes, I am,” replied Zoey with a nod.

“What a pity.” Burt and the rest shook their heads.

What did the bastard do to deserve such a gorgeous wife?

“By the way, where is Levi?” asked Klint.

“I’m here!” A voice bellowed outside the room.

“Mm?”

The six Garrisons thought the voice sounded familiar.

“Eh? That voice certainly rings a bell.”

They exchanged glances.

We’ve never met Levi. Why does his voice sound familiar?

Then, Levi walked into the room.

The moment Levi appeared, Burt and the other Garrisons froze in confusion. Their expressions paled instantly.

None of them knew Levi Garrison was the God of War.

They had just met Levi this morning.

Now, they were meeting him again under different circumstances.

It was a mind-blowing sight.

Right then, realization dawned on them.

No wonder the God of War is a Garrison. He should’ve been a part of the Garrison clan in Oakland City.

Why is Levi bold enough to go against the Garrison clan in Oakland City and place a bet with Tyrone?

Why did Levi despise the Garrison clan and everything else? This is the reason.

Never in their wildest dream did they expect Levi, the bastard of their family, to be the legend of Erudia.

Zoey sensed the change in their reactions after Levi’s arrival.

They seem to be terrified of Levi.

What is going on?

A minute ago, they were arrogant and snobby.

Why did they become so petrified all of a sudden?

Is Levi that scary?

Or is there something I don’t know?

“Sir—No, Mr. Garrison,” Burt corrected himself immediately.

They could address him as “Sir” in the training camp, but Levi’s identity was a secret outside of camp.

Indeed, Burt and the other Garrisons were shaking in fear.

If they weren’t sitting down, they would’ve fallen to their knees in fright.

Did we just try to cower the God of War into submission again? For the second time?

Alas, their plan had failed from the very start.

Levi was surprised to see the young lads, too.

Oh? Did they try to cower me into submission again?

“Is this meant to be a trap?” inquired Levi.

“N-No. Of course it isn’t a trap. We want to treat Mr. Garrison and Ms. Lopez to a meal. That’s all!” Burt hurriedly explained after regaining his composure in time.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

The others immediately welcomed Levi and Zoey warmly. “Have a seat!”

Zoey was flummoxed at how respectful they were.

Huh? What is going on?

I thought the Garrison clan is at odds with Levi?

Why are they being so polite?

When she arrived earlier, she instantly realized that this was a trap.

But everything changed after Levi showed up.

She couldn’t believe her eyes.

After taking a seat, Zoey spoke. “Be honest with me. Why are you terrified after seeing him?”

Burt and the others whipped their heads to look at Levi..

 

[indra]

Chapter 1101​

“Why are you guys just… Staring at me? Answer the question!”

Levi rolled his eyes at the crowd.

Everyone remained silent on the surface. Internally, they were exclaiming, however.

Well, it’s because you’re the God of War! How can we not be scared?

“It’s because he… “

Pewter almost exposed Levi’s identity, but Burt reacted in time to halt his statement.

“Ms. Lopez, Mr. Garrison looks too much like our Mr. Tyrone. When we first met, we all thought Sir came!”

“Ah, yes. They look too similar.”

No one could breathe easy in the room.

But Zoey alone accepted Burt’s explanation without further thought. It sounded convincing enough- everyone met Levi for the first time and got intimidated merely because he resembled Tyrone. That was all.

“That makes sense. So, what do you want? I’m all ears.”

Her tone was laced with apprehension- she did not have a good feeling about the party present before her. It felt as if they were up to no good.

Levi simply chuckled and said, “Honey, all they want is a meal with us. There’s no need for so many questions.”

Then, turning to the relevant people, Levi boomed impatiently, “Serve the dishes!”

The meal was practically a time of tribulation for the majority at the table, save for Levi and Zoey. The man was wolfing the food down while his wife picked out the nutritious dishes to keep her baby well-nourished.

Meanwhile, the rest ate in constant trepidation. Many were drenched in cold sweat while their minds wandered everywhere else.

Such was the feeling of eating with a beast that could snap anytime. They felt like they were being scrutinized, and that one wrong move would result in a fatal end.

The simple meal practically halved their lifespans by the time it ended.

“Hmm, the meal was delicious today. I look forward to more in the future,” Levi said as he escorted Zoey out.

The lady was puzzled. This is it? Just a simple meal, and nothing else?

As if reading her mind, Levi pacified, “Honey, don’t overthink it. They really did just want a meal.”

He flashed her a smile.

At that moment, Zoey felt that her concerns were unnecessary.

Perhaps, Tyrone may become lenient one day. After all, they’re still blood-related.

When Levi left, the company practically collapsed in relief simultaneously on their seats, heaving sighs of relief.

The meal was frankly more mentally exhausting than the hellish month of training that just passed.

They almost broke down on the spot.

“This is truly a moment of pride and disaster for the Garrison clan,” Burt commented while sighing.

Right at this moment, a call came from the Garrison family.

Damien’s voice echoed from the line. “Burt, tell me about how everything went! The family is very concerned. I heard that the training camp’s instructor is a very extraordinary guy.”

“Umm, that’s right… “

Burt summarized the happenings to him.

Damien cheered, “Wow! That’s pretty impressive. The family is proud of you guys!”

“And regarding the instructor… he is the God of War!”

It was not the first time Burt announced such a revelation to someone, but the reactions he received were always the same- pure shock.

The dumbfounded Damien fell into a long silence.

When he finally came to his senses, the excitement in his voice could barely be contained. “T-The God of War? You’re all are so lucky! That means you guys are handpicked by the God of War into the Iron Brigade! The Garrison family is very proud! Tyrone will be giving a word of commendation on our next anniversary meeting.”

These juniors are so capable and brought so much pride to the clan, he thought.

Burt was overjoyed by the response. A word of affirmation was always great, but receiving such commendation from Tyrone himself was the highest form of praise in the Garrison clan.

But recalling the ordeal that just occurred, Burt found his spirits dampened almost immediately.

“I have one more thing I wish to say… And hopefully, this can be conveyed to Sir… “

“What happened?” Damien’s curiosity was evidently piqued.

“We just met Levi… “

 

[indra]

Chapter 1102​

Damien asked curiously, “What’s wrong with meeting him?”

“Can you request Sir to restore Levi’s status and bring him back to the Garrison family? This will bring immense glory to the clan.”

Burt articulated every syllable seriously.

Damien’s laugh echoed from the call as he replied, “Was Levi’s charm so powerful that you all got subdued promptly? That’s very disappointing of you guys. But anyway, I will convey your words to Sir.”

When he proceeded to convey the information to Tyrone, the latter grew livid.

“What’s wrong with these juniors? They’re speaking up for Levi just because they met him once? What a bunch of letdowns.”

“I heard that the God of War’s first lesson to them was about respect. Maybe that’s why.”

That explained some things for Tyrone. “I see. I don’t doubt the effectiveness of the lessons given by the God of War.”

Then, his tone changed sharply. “But that’s their military rule and has nothing to do with us. My personal philosophy is that I will only respect those who deserve my respect- someone like Levi won’t earn it unless he shows me some true power.”

Damien concurred, “You’re right- even if Levi completes the challenge a year later, that’s far from earning our respect. We can only at best accept him into the family.”

The older man added agitatedly, “To earn my respect, he must at least have a strength that’s on par with those on the top ten of the Saber Leaderboard. If he is really that strong, I will literally put him on a pedestal and parade him around town.”

Tyrone knew the true strength of the top three well as they hailed from the Garrison family. They were people Tyrone respected. If Levi wanted his affirmation or wished to make regret his decisions, he should at least be at the level of the top three before speaking.

But he was only certain that Levi could never achieve that.

The said top three were the feared trio of Erudia. Any foreign power would quake in fear and double over in agony upon hearing their names.

There was a popular saying that went, “Those ranked on the Saber Leaderboard of Erudia can take down a battalion of ten thousand troops.”

How can Levi ever be on that level?

But the biggest irony of all awaited him- Levi was the one ranking the Saber Leaderboard.

Damien grinned at Tyrone’s sarcasm and added, “That’s true- if Levi is on the same level as the top three, I will make him next in line for the title instead.”

Speaking of that, Tyrone said, “I plan to officially name you my heir after the bet with Levi. There will be a handover ceremony held.”

Damien was elated at the news.

Until now, although everyone knew that he would be the next Sir, there was no official handover ceremony held yet.

Now that Tyrone finally decided on a date, Damien was on cloud nine. He thanked the man profusely.

“Making it the same day as the duel… That’s such a great date, Father!” Damien beamed.

“I want to show the world what my son is capable of, and to prove that not everyone can be as capable as you,” Tyrone extolled with a cold laugh.

On the side, Olivia interjected, “Emma thinks her son would make her proud? I’m going to show the whole of Erudia that my son is stronger than hers.”

She was confident of Damien, and could not wait for the day of the showdown to come soon.

When the news broke that the handover ceremony would be held on the same day as the duel, everyone knew that Tyrone did it intentionally.

Regardless of how Levi fared that day, he would compare him with Damien and showcase how superior the latter was as compared to the former.

.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1103​

Emma was visibly disappointed upon the news of the handover.

Nevertheless, she never hoped that Levi would be the next in line.

All she wanted was for his skills to be acknowledged by the Garrison family.

Her dejection was in full view of Zoey. She comforted, “Mother, it’s fine. We don’t have to compare ourselves with others. Let’s just live our own lives peacefully.”

Comparisons usually yielded nothing but a new sense of inferiority- especially if one was comparing themselves to the people of the Garrison clan. Zoey knew better to just focus on one’s everyday life.

Her words seemed to have an effect on Emma.

Perking up a little, the lady acknowledged Zoey’s wise words, “That’s true, we’re leading pretty happy lives right now. Let’s just continue this way!”

Changing the topic, Zoey took the chance to ask for a group photo together.

The lady had taken an interest in documenting her everyday life and the changes that were happening. She had taken many photos as commemoration already.

“Levi, join in the photo too!” shouted Zoey.

If the lady asked, rejection was the last thing the man would do. Levi jogged over and joined the photo.

Zoey took a few snapshots and decided to upload the photos on her overseas social media account. All she wanted was to boast about her blissful family of four a little.

Otherwise, she usually did not have the habit to share her life online. Even if she did post, it would be on her overseas account, so that none of her close friends and relatives would see could see her updates.

This seemingly harmless decision to post today resulted in a global uproar.

Within ten minutes, the photos reached over ten million shares online.

And the numbers only grew and grew.

At this rate, the number of views would easily reach over a billion in just less than an hour.

The reason behind the ongoing virality was simple- Levi was in the photo.

In Erudia, all information about Levi was kept strictly confidential.

If a photo of him was uploaded within Erudia, it would automatically be censored.

But the same confidentiality did not exist out there.

As a result, when Zoey uploaded the photos, the outside world immediately recognized Levi.

News of his photos spread like wildfire, and it was not long before an international commotion erupted.

In particular, hundreds of countries and the underground organizations were in a frenzy over their new discovery- the almighty God of War had a pregnant wife.

It was shocking news to the whole world.

Levi was a walking legend ever since he suppressed the Eighteen-Nation Alliance.

The God of War was unanimously considered by hundreds of nations to be the worst nightmare ever to exist.

In fact, there was a saying that went, “As long as the God of War is present, Erudia cannot be attacked.” In other words, as long as Levi was still alive, Erudia would remain impenetrable. The foreign powers could do nothing but cowering in fear of his ever-present wrath.

As a result, other nations hated him and countless people wanted him dead.

“Countless” was not an exaggeration- someone once did a tabulation and estimated that over ten million people wanted him to perish.

As a result, it was no surprise that Levi ranked top on the international hitlist with a bounty of hundreds of billions on his head.

While the bounty was extremely attractive, no one managed to complete it thus far. The reason was obvious- Levi had no weak points.

He was already used to assassination attempts. In fact, he was practically a target of an assassination every living second due to the sheer number of people interested in the prize money.

There were also many people who spent years trying to dig out his weaknesses, but all their attempts were to no avail.

In conclusion, Levi was simply too strong, too almighty. He truly lived up to his title as the God of War.

There’s no way to kill him!

But everything changed on this day because of some photographs.

The all-powerful God of War had an Achilles’ heel- his pregnant wife.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1104​

For the longest time, it was impossible to find any information about Levi. His family background and the people associated with him were all wiped clean from Erudia’s database.

When people heard that Levi was an orphan, their despair only increased as that meant that they had no elderly parents to threaten him with.

As a result, there was no other way to defeat the invincible God than to become stronger than him.

However, now that Zoey’s photographs exposed that Levi had a mother and a pregnant wife, everyone knew his fatal weaknesses.

The old saying now no longer stood. The rest of the nation finally found the opening to bring down Erudia.

Erudia’s God of War, whose existence was the bane of hundreds of nations, had a line of weakness that everyone could not wait to exploit.

Amongst those people, the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, in particular, were in hysteria. Their long-awaited opportunity for revenge had finally come.

Another group of people who were equally riled up was those eyeing the incredible bounty.

The appeal only increased when the bounty reward shot up by tens of billions in a blink of an eye due to the contribution of multiple well-to-do individuals.

These contributors hoped to eliminate Levi as quickly and as mercilessly as possible.

Levi’s existence had compromised too many people’s interests.

Knowing that he had countless existing enemies who were blood-thirsty enough to take him down, they increased the bounty prize money to accelerate the momentum to take him out.

In other words, it was called striking the iron while it was hot.

In summary, the world was cheering for Levi’s imminent death. The Eighteen-Nation Alliance was looking forward to the day when Erudia would fall into their hands. The other foreign forces were also interested in partaking in this attack. Many others could not wait for their own personal gains that would follow Levi’s demise too.

Meanwhile, Zoey remained oblivious to the global commotion that her photos had ignited.

In conclusion, a revolution would happen the moment Levi fell.

That alone was a testament to the God of War’s menace all this while. He might be just an individual, but he was capable of intimidating the entire world.

No one dared to lay a finger on Erudia because of him.

When Zoey finally checked her account, she almost flung her phone on the ground out of shock.

“O-Oh my, what on earth is happening? Huh? Why are there billions of likes, along with tens of thousands of shares and comments?”

She could not believe her eyes. Am I hallucinating? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

A post on her account would typically garner at most about a hundred likes.

Why were her recent photos gaining so much traction?

Out of disbelief, she recounted the engagement numbers. Eventually, she concluded that her eyes were indeed well and functioning.

These engagement numbers probably broke some records on the platform, she thought.

What is happening?

Zoey double-checked the post once again, but the bizarre reality proved not to be a dream.

Amidst her confusion, there was one thing she could be certain about- these numbers had nothing to do with her or Emma. After all, the older lady was confined for almost thirty years.

That left her with Levi as the prime suspect for stirring up this commotion. The likes, comments, and shares could not have been for anyone else, she believed.

Does Levi hold so much influence overseas?

She rubbed her eyes and checked the numbers again.

Nothing changed from before.

“Oh right, there are many comments. Let me check them.”

Opening the comments section, one comment caught her eye.

“The God of War of Erudia?” she muttered to herself

 

[indra]

Chapter 1105​

Just when Zoey was able to continue reading the comment, it got deleted.

There was nothing else but a blank page reflecting on her phone screen.

Refreshing the page, she realized that all the other comments were gone too.

All the likes also disappeared.

It was as if nothing had happened and everything was normal again.

“Phew, it was just a system error! That was so scary… Those billions of likes… Unimaginable.” It was not uncommon to see such system hiccups- she had encountered them before in other software. The reflected engagement numbers similarly went completely haywire during the glitches.

The tension left her body as she heaved a sigh of relief and broke into an amused chuckle.

But the truth was far from what she assumed. What really happened was that someone from Erudia noticed Zoey’s photos and immediately locked her account from further viewing by others.

Zoey conveyed the ordeal to her husband, telling him how the uploaded photos on her overseas account met with a system error, causing them to gain billions of likes and tens of millions of shares. “The comments were also really amusing- one read something like ‘The God of War’ or something… “

“What?” Levi froze on the spot. His expression turned increasingly strained.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he immediately grew worried over the safety of Zoey and Emma. His concerns only worsened considering that his wife was pregnant.

He was aware of the forces they were up against- they were not simply just the wealthy ancient families, but also included the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, hundreds of foreign powers, and tens of thousands of organizations.

The combined forces were overpowering, and anyone could strike anywhere at any time.

A cloud of uncertainty loomed, and that was what really shook Levi’s confidence.

He was not exactly scared for himself. Rather, he was fearful of this great unknown and how that might jeopardize his loved ones.

He knew he could protect Zoey as long as he was by her side.

But there could be times when he might not be able to be with her.

There were many things that could go very wrong, and he was not sure if he could be omniscient enough to come up with a fool-proof counterplan.

Levi grew increasingly vexed.

As he took a deep breath, his unusual countenance made Zoey both worried and curious.

“Darling, are you alright?”

Levi could only force a chuckle as he responded, “Billions of likes? Such a thing can happen?”

Internally, he made up his mind. Rather than waste all his energy worrying, he knew he had to be more drastic this time. Whoever dared to touch his loved ones would meet with a terrible fate.

Even if they tried running, he would hunt them down regardless. And when he managed to do so, he would not hesitate in killing them.

In other words, whoever was bold enough to offend him would be inviting in their own demises.

Zoey’s voice snapped him out of his rumination. “The numbers were like that because there was a system error. I met such a thing before too! It’s such a shame that I didn’t read the majority of the comments… “

Her tone was laced with a tinge of regret as she wished she had read more of the comments before they were gone.

Meanwhile, Levi tried his best to change the subject. With a plastered smile, he replied, “Alright, don’t fret about it. Take care of your body and when our baby comes, we can take as many photos as you like!”

Posting photos of one’s newborn was the trend now, and Levi could already imagine how Zoey would be constantly doing so once their child was born.

His sole mission now was to ensure that nothing would go wrong until the day of labor came.

The undertaking would be challenging- he would have to nip every danger in its bud while keeping Zoey in the dark about everything.

Most importantly, he had to ensure that not only North Hampton, but the whole of Erudia would be an impenetrable place.

He would not tolerate any trouble.

At this point, he could not help but snigger at how insignificant Tyrone’s bet was as compared to his current predicament.

While everyone thought that the Garrison clan was the greatest obstacle he had to overcome, the man knew better; the Garrisons were honestly not worth even a mention.

Instead, the current crisis deserved more of his attention right now. If this fiasco had not happened, he would have been more confident that no mishaps would occur during the pregnancy period. But what was done was done- he could only move on and prepare a contingency plan.

Springing into action, he found Azure Dragon and instructed, “The situation is pretty dire right now. We need to prepare early.”

Chapter 1106​

“Understood. From now on, we’re peril-ridden! No matter how we tried to stop them, there would still be enemies entering Erudia,” Phoenix said with a frown.

After all, if the enemy were indeed coming against Levi, they would not send someone mediocre for sure.

Those sent would definitely be the best of the best!

Hence, everyone’s responsibilities would turn much heavier.

Levi heaved a sigh. “I don’t wish to trouble too many people regarding this, so just arrange my own people for this. Phoenix, please check which team is idle at the moment.”

Phoenix bore a relaxed smile and replied, “Sir, it so happens that the Specter Army has completed their mission.”

“Good, then summon the Specter Army and the Cavalry Regiment. That would do!” Levi commanded.

There were not many people in the Specter Army. In fact, it was made up of only fifty members.

It was a special army established by Levi.

As the name itself implied, they were just like specters, moving elusively on the battlefield.

They often killed without exposing themselves. Like assassins, they attacked the Achilles heel and slew with just one move.

The Specter Army was extremely terrifying.

The most crucial point was that most of their enemies weren’t even aware of the existence of such an army.

Seeing them implied that Death was after you.

The Specter Army under the God of War remained unknown to many people.

Other than Levi, no one even knew what they were like.

Not even Azure Dragon and others.

This army worked directly under the command of Levi.

Even though the existence of the Specter Army was unknown to others, the enemy was aware of the existence of such a troop and they were terrified to the bone.

It was hard to tell when they would be targeted by these specters of the battlefield.

With the Specter Army and the Cavalry Regiment, in addition to his own presence, no one could really lay a hand on Zoey.

Zoey was totally unaware that a photograph had brought such a huge turmoil to the entire world.

Tens of thousands of forces and organizations abroad started to get restless.

Countless of eyes were fixated on her.

Her net worth was also rocketing, reaching a hundred billion…

There were already bounties issued overseas amounting to a hundred million for providing specific information about Zoey alone and another hundred billion for capturing her. In addition, whoever was able to kill Levi would be awarded two hundred billion.

Apart from that, the amount of the bounty kept rising.

Meanwhile, on a small island abroad.

It was the territory of Atlantis.

Atlantis was a member of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance which had been defeated by Levi in the past.

There were a few helicopters on the small island and a luxurious yacht in the dock.

There were also plenty of fully-armed guards standing around.

In a residence on the island, dozens of people were discussing some issues.

There were photos of Zoey and Emma on the screen.

These people present at the residence had all been defeated by Levi. They were from the Eighteen-Nation Alliance and had been subjugated to Levi for almost five years, mortified execrably.

When Zoey’s photo was exposed, they were the most excited party. In fact, they were also the ones who couldn’t wait to be the first to take action.

“We had to get ahead of everyone. If we kill Levi Garrison, the shame we’ve experienced all these years would all be cleared!”

“Mmm, so then, our next step would be to send thirty top fighters to Erudia to capture these two women!”

“Hold on, would thirty of them be sufficient?”

“It should suffice. These top fighters selected this time were enough to rival the top fighters on the Saber Leaderboard of Erudia! With their synergy and our cooperation in the dark, we would definitely succeed!”

“It’s not good enough. I’ll send a hundred well-trained fighters to disturb Levi Garrison beforehand and then we’ll let these thirty men handle him. This way, the probability of winning would be higher.”

Chapter 1107​

These defeated foes of Levi were busy discussing how to secure their win.

They must capture Zoey and Emma or either of them. They had come out with a lot of plans, and all they wanted was success!

It was different now that Levi Garrison’s weakness had been identified.

In the past, they hadn’t been able to devise any scheme. Even when Levi Garrison stood there and let them strike, no one could have killed him.

Not only the Eighteen-Nation Alliance that had been overcome by Levi was preying on Zoey, but it was also the same with many other forces from different nations. They were all targeting Zoey.

One of them was Wheldrake which had been conquered by Beasts led by Williamson.

Their arrogance was entirely crushed by Williamson from the West.

This time, after getting to know about Zoey’s existence, they started weaving a nasty plot.

Wheldrake was belligerent with its hard-hitting and rugged people. The folks in Wheldrake advocated for martial arts as a way of life.

There was also a leaderboard in Wheldrake which was known as the Saga Leaderboard, similar to the Saber Leaderboard in Erudia. Everyone in Wheldrake regarded those listed on the leaderboard like gods.

This time, everyone on the Saga Leaderboard, which consisted of a hundred skillful fighters would all sneak into North Hampton.

Preparing to capture both Zoey and Emma alive.

In order to deal with Levi, Wheldrake had gone all in this round.

Revealing each and every one of their trump card.

Not only Wheldrake but there were many other forces and organizations sending their people to worm their way into North Hampton as well.

Therefore, there were indeed plenty of formidable fighters targeting Levi this round.

An unfathomably large number of them.

Even assassins, mercenaries, and hackers had been attracted by the enormous bounty and joined in.

All in all, the menace awaiting was far worse than what one could imagine…

Not even Levi had expected this.

He had underestimated how horrifying he was to his enemies.

As soon as any of his weakness was identified, the enemies would counter and target frantically.

The hostility faced this time was unprecedented.

His enemies had risked everything to come against him.

As time passed, the information obtained about Zoey and Emma was getting more and more detailed.

Even information regarding the background of Levi was obtained.

They had even discovered the Garrison family.

Initially, they intended to take advantage of the Garrison family but after figuring out the relationship between Levi and the Garrison family, everyone gave up on their initial intent.

There was no advantage to be taken; it was totally pointless.

On the other hand, in the Garrison clan in Oakland City.

Tyrone Garrison just hung up the phone with a perplexed expression.

“Is Levi so well known? This has been the fifth person calling to ask me about Levi’s identity…” He marveled.

The rest of them asked, “Sir, what’s going on? What happened to Levi?”

Tyrone was equally bewildered. “I have no idea either. All the foreign family forces which have ties with the Garrison family were looking for me today to verify the identity of Levi. There were already five of them calling; I’m sure there would be more to come! This really makes me wonder if Levi has some prominent status unknown to us!”

Tyrone was truly puzzled by this strange happening.

Not even Damien receives this kind of treatment.

How could Levi have such privilege?

Just as he pondered about this, there were incoming calls to confirm Levi’s identity again.

Dozens of them.

Going berserk.

“What? Levi’s connection with the Garrison family is even known to forces abroad? Sure enough, bad news has wings!”

“As expected, now that the fact of this rascal’s identity as an illegitimate child has spread, even the forces abroad would mock this top ancient family of ours in Erudia!”

…

The Garrison family members were utterly displeased.

They thought that the Garrison family’s reputation was powerful enough within and without their home country.

And it was because others had found out about Levi’s identity as an illegitimate son.

Just then, Tyrone received another phone call from overseas.

“Are you making a bet with Levi?” after confirming Levi’s identity, the person on the line couldn’t help but ask.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1108​

Tyrone answered with his subconscious mind, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“You’re such a moron! How dare you make a bet with him? Now everyone overseas knew it!”

With that, the person ended the call ferociously.

“What?”

Tyrone was completely confounded.

Why does he call me a “moron” after getting to know my relationship with Levi?

What is going on?

In fact, the person’s intention was simple.

He was berating Tyrone for his ludicrous bravery of making a bet with the God of War of Erudia.

Is he mad?

The God of War has conquered hundreds of nations outside Erudia; he’s the worst nightmare of tens of thousands of foreign family forces.

And this moronic Tyrone dares to make a bet with him.

Isn’t it ridiculous?

“Oh, I get it! He’s berating me for demeaning my superior status to bet against an illegitimate desperado. Isn’t this discrediting? It’s indeed a foolish act! Especially now that everyone abroad has come to know the existence of Levi, they would regard my decision to be exceedingly mindless! Levi is definitely unworthy of my attention!” Tyrone put on a helpless face.

But he was indeed at a loss for solutions.

Levi got hold of his secrets, leaving him with no other option than to bet on it.

How could he have known that he got it totally wrong?

Between him and Levi, the one with a lowly status was he himself!

“Ah, I see! So now the Garrison family is being ridiculed by these people abroad thanks to Levi!”

“He’s indeed the disgrace of the family! Sooner or later he would make the Garrison family nailed on the pillars of shame!”

“True. A genius like Damien thrives in obscurity and a trash like Levi is infamous!”

…

The Garrison clan had absolutely no idea about what was happening in Erudia.

Neither were they aware that forces from overseas had erupted.

Within half a day’s time, the situation of the entire globe had taken an unexpected turn. Everything was undergoing enormous changes.

All because of the b*stard in their eyes.

Just because of a single person alone, the entire world had gone frenzied.

Damien smiled and said, “Father, I’ve heard that Martin would be going against Levi soon. He’s no angel!”

“Haha, let others teach him a lesson lest that rascal is boastful.” Tyrone laughed.

As anticipated, Martin departed to North Hampton.

Along with him was Tiffany.

Tiffany had dressed up this time, preparing to meet Levi in her most graceful comportment.

To make him regret!

On the other hand, Levi had no plans to let Zoey and his mother go out anymore. There were inevitable risks outside.

He was constantly staying by their side to take care of them.

Meanwhile, there was news from Phoenix that a lot of skilled fighters had already snuck into North Hampton but it was difficult to identify them.

Right then, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes observing Levi.

There were hazards everywhere.

“Phoenix, North Hampton doesn’t need to be fortified; let them all in and we can wipe them out in one shot!”

Levi commanded.

All he wanted to do was to thrash them so dreadfully that fears were struck into their hearts.

So that they dared not come up with nasty thoughts anymore.

“With me around, Erudia is the forbidden ground. Don’t you all understand?”

Levi had a feeling that many people had forgotten what pain felt like in the past six months when he was dormant.

Within a few hours, the number of fighters entering from abroad had reached thousands.

A large proportion of them was on par with the big-time fighters on the Saber Leaderboard of Erudia, especially when all the fighters on the Saga Leaderboard from Wheldrake had also come.

They had already hidden around Levi and his people, waiting for a reasonable chance to act

Chapter 1109​

“Whoa!”

At the North Hampton Airport.

After getting off the plane, Martin took in a long breath; he had come specifically for Levi.

After all, the engagement has been called off. And the Garrison family gives no d*mn about him now.

Hence, Martin had no more concerns. Levi has to be severely injured if not dead. That was his sole purpose.

There were other people who came on the same flight as Martin.

They were all wearing a hat and were in leather jackets. Tattoos could be vaguely seen on their faces.

They even took a glance at Martin when they passed him by.

The North Hampton Airport that day was filled with an unusually high number of foreigners.

“Mr. Preston, it’s very strange at the airport here today,” just then, one of the personal bodyguards of Martin said with a hushed voice.

“What’s wrong?”

Tiffany and Martin looked in his direction simultaneously.

“This airport is filled with extremely skilled fighters everywhere. I could sense that everyone here is unusual!”

The bodyguard uttered while he looked around.

“Exactly! I could feel that too. There’re many top fighters around and they don’t seem to be from Erudia.”

“And those are only what we’re able to observe. I’m sure there are more who are even more powerful than us!”

“What happened? Did something go wrong?”

…

The other bodyguards could feel the same.

There was danger everywhere in this North Hampton Airport. There were too many powerful fighters around.

The majority were those who were stronger than them.

Their intuition was right.

Ever since Levi told Phoenix to remove the fortification, many fighters had come swaggering.

There were three groups of people who had come together in the same plane as Martin.

“Hmm… What’s happening? What are so many fighters doing in North Hampton Airport?” Tiffany was confused.

So was Martin.

“I heard that something happened abroad but I don’t know the specific details.”

“Could it be something to do with what we’re here for?” One of the bodyguards asked.

“But that shouldn’t involve North Hampton. In my opinion, other than the fact that Levi Garrison is here, there’s nothing much about North Hampton. Even if there’s anything huge about to happen, it should be in Oakland City. How could it possibly be in some small towns like this?” Every word that came out of Martin was spoken with disdain.

They were from Oakland City so when they looked at other places, they felt privileged very naturally.

Especially both Tiffany and Martin were from imperial families.

Hence, they were all the more snobbish, bearing the thought that nothing major should happen in such an insignificant place.

Unlike Oakland City which was the real grand place.

Even the exposure there was far greater and better than that of such a small place.

That was the reason why they were all overweening when they faced Levi.

Not to mention the stronger Garrison clan.

“Forget it. Let’s go find Levi directly!” A cold glint flashed across Martin’s eyes.

“Sure!” Tiffany nodded in agreement.

She took off her sunglasses and her face showed up.

“Whoa… She’s so beautiful!”

When Tiffany’s face was revealed, there was an uproar in the airport.

Many people were surrounding her, trying to capture photographs of her.

After all, Tiffany had put on the most exquisite makeup and was wearing the most noble and fashionable outfit.

She was incredibly stunning.

An inexplicably elegant air was wafting from her. That was cultivated from living in an affluent family since young. It was something even the celebrities couldn’t compare.

During her previous visit, Tiffany was afraid that Levi would refuse to call off the engagement due to her attractiveness. Hence, she had deliberately made herself appear unappealing.

They were there to call off their engagement but Levi made a remark that she was no match for his wife.

She had been keeping this in mind ever since.

This time, she had come in her best shape.

She couldn’t wait to see Levi’s response when he saw her.

Would he still say she was not as pretty as his wife?

“Levi Garrison, I’ve come. Are you ready?” Tiffany curled her lips into a gracious smile.

.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1110​

Meanwhile, Levi was accompanying Zoey.

He got a call from Seth Wilson, who told him that someone was looking for him.

Levi was stunned. Wow, are these people so straightforward now? Coming directly in my face?

But when he heard that it was actually Tiffany and Martin, he was relieved instantly.

Oh, it’s actually these two morons.

“Seth, tell them that I have no time for them. Ask them to get lost!”

Levi was preparing for a herculean enemy and had no time to entertain them. They were nothing to him at this point in time.

On the other hand, outside of Morris Group.

Martin and the lot were waiting anxiously.

Seth came out and spoke in a placid tone, “My boss is occupied at the moment, please leave immediately!”

“What?”

Martin was exasperated. With their status and background, Levi had the nerve to ignore them?

That’s outrageous!

“There was the Garrison family covering for him before, but why is he still so cocky now? He’s totally disregarding us!” Martin asked furiously.

Likewise, it had never occurred to Tiffany that Levi could be so haughty that he had refused to even meet her.

“You better get back to Levi now and tell him that if he doesn’t see us, I’ll personally stir up trouble for him.” Martin intimidated.

“Please leave now. Mr. Garrison is really busy with other things and had no time for some nobody like you!” Seth waved his hand impatiently.

Even though he didn’t know what happened, he could tell Levi was occupied with something big recently.

“Nobody?” Martin and Tiffany pointed toward themselves and asked.

As the descendants of the imperial families in Oakland City, how could they be nobody?

Is he joking?

Nevertheless, comparing to the hundreds of nations overseas, they were indeed nobody.

“Fine! Levi Garrison, you jack*ss! We’ll do things the hard way then!”

Tiffany was also unimpressed.

When she first came here, Levi regarded her with disdain. This time, she had come in her best appearance but she was shut out.

“No way, Levi Garrison must see me!” There was a steely glint flashing across Tiffany’s eyes.

She wanted to stand in front of Zoey and let Levi make a thorough comparison, hearing from him in person that she was better than Zoey.

Night fell, and darkness descended upon North Hampton, which also signified the forthcoming peril.

The top fighters from the Eighteen-Nation Alliance including Wheldrake and Atlantis had come together. There were also fighters from some other overseas nations, not forgetting the mercenaries, assassins, forces from the Western Dark World, and even fighters from some large consortiums who continued to gather around.

Initially, every distinct force wanted to be the first to capture Zoey and Emma, making their names in the world.

However, according to information gathered, Levi had been keeping them company and there was no opportunity at all for them to act.

Apart from that, everyone knew full well that Levi must have been aware of their actions and was ready with heavy defense.

If it were in the past, they would have no possibility of winning.

But this round, Levi had two weaknesses. And they could try.

Hence, everyone had given up on firing their attacks alone and instead, gathered as many of them around as possible.

They had to strengthen their power and create synergies to fight with Levi in his face.

It would be best if they were able to separate Levi from the two targets and then get their hands on Zoey or Emma.

“The result of this is very clear— we would be severely hampered! The God of War of Erudia was immensely potent, I’m afraid half of us would be left, buried forever in this land. Despite that, the order given to us is to strike at all costs!”

…

Owing to the hatred toward Levi, every one of these fighters had prepared to die in this battle.

“What’s going on here?”

A group of people showed up out of the blue.

They were none other than Martin and Tiffany.

“Wait a minute… It seems like an upheaval has occurred and our winning rate has gone higher!”

.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1111​

Martin and the lot had come directly to the manor of Levi and shouted, “Levi Garrison, if you’re a real man, you better come out and face us! If you’re scared already, come out and kneel down before me, I might consider forgiving you for once!”

Tiffany and Martin were of the opinion that Levi was afraid of them.

He had been protected by the Garrison family so he was on his high horse and even dared to beat Martin.

But it was different now.

“Huh? What’s happening?”

The thousands of fighters who had been hiding around were just about to strike when they were confounded by what was happening right in front of them.

They paused their actions and observed what just happened.

Especially when they heard that Tiffany and Martin were also here to look for Levi.

Martin and Tiffany were still trying to provoke with nasty words.

And Martin was even counting down.

If Levi was not coming out, then they would barge in.

“Ten! Nine! Eight… One!”

As soon as he finished counting down, Martin was ready to get in.

When suddenly, a figure emerged.

It was Levi! Everyone, regardless of those in the dark or Martin and the lot, was astounded.

When the few thousands of fighters from hundreds of nations saw the “devilish” face of Levi Garrison, all of them were in a frenzied state.

Their blood coagulated, and their bodies were trembling with frosty air wafting from them. Fearful beams were shooting from their timid eyes.

It was this man standing in front of them who had conquered hundreds of nations abroad, rendering every man to put an end to their greed and cease having any thoughts on Erudia.

He was like a “Demon King” to millions of people.

Seeing him again made the blood pressure of everyone around rise and they began to feel agitated.

It had never occurred to them that this war machine who was also the famous God of War was just like an ordinary man in his usual life.

What kind of a person was he?

After being stunned for a while, it suddenly dawned on them.

Levi Garrison has come out…

Doesn’t that mean he’s away from Zoey and Emma?

With thousands of brilliant fighters from over a hundred nations around, even just a ten-meter distance between Levi and Zoey was enough.

After all, the victory or defeat of a battle between fighters of top-notch would be decided in the blink of an eye.

Ten meters was a distance sufficient for them to strike.

Not to mention that Levi had left the main building and came to the entrance of the manor. It was in fact a distance of over a thousand meters…

Which meant that Levi was totally separated from Zoey and Emma.

It was a huge opportunity to them.

Increasing their winning rate greatly.

They knew very well that there must be other people guarding Zoey and Emma and they were familiar with those people as well.

Such as the Five Great Wars Regiment under the God of War or something like that.

Despite that, as long as the Demon King, Levi was not around, they were fearless.

The few fighters in the lead started allocating tasks among themselves.

Even though Levi had been separated from Zoey and Emma, they had to come up with a plan to prevent Levi from retreating back to the manor.

Therefore, they would need to allocate half or more than half of these fighters to stop Levi.

Killing Levi was unattainable.

They knew all too well how powerful he was.

They could only try to stop him to buy more time for themselves.

The rest of the people would enter the manor and take away Zoey and Emma in the shortest time possible.

In this way, they could threaten Levi Garrison with these two women.

That was exactly their goal.

After arranging everything, the fighters advanced according to the plan.

There were around a thousand of them approaching and entering the manor quietly in the dark.

The rest of them kept their attention on Levi.

The reason Levi had come out was of course due to the presence of Martin and Tiffany.

They had been shouting for half the day in front of the gate.

“Levi Garrison, you’ve finally come out. I thought you were scared.” Martin sneered.

Tiffany tilted her head up as proud as a peacock, appearing in front of Levi in her best outlook

 

[indra]

Chapter 1112​

At that moment, Tiffany was like the brightest gem, shimmering brilliantly in the dark.

Her beauty was so breathtaking, making everyone who set eyes on her in awe.

Perfect!

Unbearably perfect!

Regardless of whether it was her face, her body, or her demeanor, Tiffany was flawless.

She was definitely the prettiest woman in Oakland City.

Coupled with her lofty manner, she was just like a goddess who was distinctive from ordinary folks.

She believed that no man could be unimpressed by her beauty.

There had never been anyone who was not stunned by her appearance.

Even the most promising man, Damien from the Garrison family, could not stay cool in her presence.

Tiffany stood across from Levi without speaking a word but was intentionally flaunting her attractive appearance from time to time.

Together with Martin, she had imagined how obsessed and stunned Levi would be.

However, right in the next second, they were utterly disappointed.

Levi glanced around very quickly without landing his gaze on any of the two persons in front of him.

It was as though the extraordinary beauty of Tiffany was just a common sight for him.

Being neglected in such a way by Levi, Tiffany could not bear it any longer.

She had taken well over six hours to dress and makeup so elaborately just to impress Levi. Wasn’t that to make him regret?

However, Levi had no response.

This made her awfully unsettled.

Tiffany even suspected that it was because the lighting was too dim that Levi did not see her clearly.

“Levi, look at me…”

Tiffany shouted at Levi.

Levi turned to her. His gaze was clear and cool, without even the tiniest ripple.

He was completely unmoved by Tiffany’s beauty; neither did he have any other thoughts.

Tiffany could discern from his clear eyes that Levi was not acting.

He was indeed apathetic to her beauty.

How come?

How could there be any man on this earth who could withstand my charm?

It was indeed not Tiffany being over confident.

Her looks were indeed top-notch. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as the prettiest woman of Oakland City. There had never been any man who was nonchalant to her as such. Besides, she had even come fully prepared, putting on her makeup and everything.

And yet, she was still ignored by Levi.

Why?

Tiffany couldn’t get her head around it.

Unless he doesn’t like women!

Tiffany could only think of this possibility.

“Levi Garrison, didn’t you notice that I was different from last time?” Tiffany couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, you’re different from last time.”

Levi answered absent-mindedly. He was focusing his attention on the top fighters hiding in the dark.

“Then don’t you have anything to say?” Tiffany asked tentatively.

She wanted to hear from Levi that he had regretted and that his wife could never compare to her.

Even Martin and his men were looking at Levi with anticipation of hearing answers of the same sorts.

However, to their surprise, Levi warned, “If you want to live, get lost immediately, stay the farther the better!”

His words caught them totally off guard.

Tiffany and others were rooted to the ground at what Levi said.

What did he just say? Did he just ask us to get lost?

If we want to live?

What is that supposed to mean?

Tiffany was so irritable she stormed on the ground.

Isn’t Levi supposed to say that he’s remorseful?

“What are you trying to imply? Looking at me in my best shape here, don’t you have anything to tell me? Am I not better than your wife?”

Tiffany’s gaze fixated on Levi.

“This woman must be crazy! I’ve already advised you to leave but you chose not to. Now, there’s no way out anymore even if you wish to.”

Levi glared at Tiffany.

“What do you mean?”

Martin was equally baffled as Tiffany.

That was because the fighters who had been hiding in the dark were about to strike

 

[indra]

Chapter 1113​

Almost instantly, Levi, Tiffany, and the others were surrounded by dark figures.

Each of them was exuding a threatening, murderous aura.

Although they were the elite fighters of various countries, they all had a black mask on them.

“What’s going on?”

Martin looked around at his surroundings. It looks like there are more than a hundred people here.

However, his guess was wrong. There were actually over a thousand, but most were still hidden in the shadows.

Tiffany’s delicate brows furrowed as confusion flashed past her eyes.

What’s going on?

Why are there so many people around?

Is this related to what Levi said earlier?

That I should scram if I wished to live?

“Levi Garrison, we meet again,” one of them sneered.

By hearing the voice, Levi knew it was one of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance’s strongest fighters.

Sensing the murderous aura from the group of people, Martin couldn’t help but ask, “Are you here to fight Levi too?”

“Of course. Why else are we here?” the person scoffed.

In response, Martin jeered, “I’ll be frank with you. Levi is my prey, so you and your lot can get lost!”

“What?”

The thousands of elite fighters were stunned.

He dares to claim Erudia’s God of War as his prey?

Who is he?

Seeing the dumbfounded looks on the others’ faces, Martin scoffed, “Why, are my words not clear enough? Or maybe you’re all deaf. Listen carefully; I’m Martin Preston, the heir of the imperial Preston family of Oakland City. Right now, Levi is my prey, and I’m the only one who can decide whether to beat him up or kill you. None of you have the right to lay a finger on him. Now, get lost!”

Martin took the opportunity to perform well in front of Tiffany.

After all, he reckoned that he couldn’t always let others go up against Levi Garrison.

He had to show Tiffany how powerful he was.

Upon hearing Martin announcing his identity, everyone burst out laughing.

His status may have some prominence in Oakland City, but in the foreign elite fighters’ minds, he was nothing but a simple housefly.

Hearing their laughter, Martin was about to say something when Levi interrupted. “That’s enough. Stop talking. If you keep talking, you’ll lose your life.”

“Who dares to take my life? Them?” Martin scorned as he pointed at the foreign elite fighters.

Just the ten guards by my side are more than enough to clear the crowd.

Gush! Gush! Gush!

Just as the thought crossed his mind, blood could be seen spurting out from his guards in the next second.

Thump!

All ten of Martin’s guards now lay in a puddle of blood, no longer breathing.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye.

Martin had been learning martial arts since young, and he had achieved the second rank in the Heir Leaderboard with his own capabilities.

He was a capable fighter.

However, he wasn’t able to see who was the one who killed his guards, nor how they were killed.

What the hell just happened? It was over in a flash!

Realization finally dawned on him that those who were present were much stronger than he was.

With that thought in mind, Martin started sweating as his legs shook.

Tiffany, too, could feel a chill running down her spine. As she looked at dark shadows surrounding them, terror gnawed at her heart.

Subconsciously, she leaned closer to Levi.

“Levi, the you from before had no weaknesses. But now that you have your own family, they are your weaknesses!”

“In fact, some of us have gone for them. You won’t be able to save them in time!”

“Not unless you kill us all!” the crowd jeered.

A murderous look flitted across Levi’s eyes, and he laughed.

“Then so be it, I’ll kill every one of you!”

 

[indra]

Chapter 1114​

Standing beside Levi, both Tiffany and Martin were stupefied.

W-What’s going on?

What kind of battle did we get ourselves involved in?

These elite fighters are all coming after Levi?

What scared them the most, however, was the fact that these elite fighters were stronger than they could ever imagine.

Despite them being a member of the imperial family in Oakland City and having seen most of the world, they felt like they were in unknown territory when it comes to these fighters and that struck fear into them.

Only several ancient families in Oakland City can have these many fighters at their beck and call, right?

Even Martin, who was ranked second in the Heir Leaderboard, could not comprehend the moves of the fighters around him.

He felt as if all his previous achievements were for naught as he stared at the fighters that were all stronger than him.

This is terrifying!

Martin’s ten guards had been the best of the best, but they were killed in a blink of an eye.

How strong are these people in front of me?

Martin and Tiffany could not imagine the prowess they possessed.

Moreover, there were over a thousand surrounding them.

They were reminded of the unusual scene at the airport.

The guard had spoken the truth.

There really were many foreign fighters at the airport.

Something major really happened in North Hampton.

I can’t believe all these foreign fighters are all here for Levi.

Isn’t Levi an illegitimate son?

Could it be that he have another identity?

This scene is appalling.

Neither Tiffany nor he could think of any reason for them to be here for Levi; their minds were blank.

All they could do was to stand transfixed.

“Get them!”

The fighters surged forward.

Thump!

Having stood in the front, Martin was the first to receive a heavy punch.

The fighting skills that made the Preston family proud were useless here. In just a moment, Martin, who was ranked number two in the Heir Leaderboard was crushed in the battle.

All his opponent needed to do was give him a punch to send him flying.

He did not even get the chance to react.

After falling to the ground, the first thing Martin did was cough up blood. Then, he twitched for a few seconds before he stopped moving.

Although he was not dead, he would have to lie in the hospital for several months after this.

At that moment, both Tiffany and he finally understood the words Seth once said. Levi is busy. He has no time to deal with small-time characters like you.

As it turned out, they were indeed small-time characters.

They were no match for any of the thousand fighters around them.

What kind of identity does Levi have?

Why are so many fighters coming after him?

Is he involved in that major event that happened overseas?

Thump!

Just then, one of the fighter swung a sword toward Tiffany.

Her blood ran cold as she watched the blade that will soon end her life coming for her.

She could only shut her eyes in despair.

I’m going to die.

Suddenly, she felt a mighty hand on her shoulders, pulling her backward.

Her eyes flew open only to see it was Levi who saved her.

Elation filled her entire being.

As she stared at Levi’s profile, her heart thumped in excitement.

Thump!

Levi sent the attacker flying with a swift kick.

“You have no right to kill the people of Erudia, even if they’ve committed the greatest crime!”

Levi’s expression was as cold as ice.

“Ha! You’re still protecting someone? Levi, you’re just making things harder for yourself.”

The surrounding fighters became even more excited.

Their initial plan was to waste Levi’s time.

Now that Levi had to protect someone else, he was doing exactly what they wanted him to do.

“Feel free to give me all you’ve got.”

The moment the words left his mouth, the fighters swarmed over.

Tiffany, who was protected by Levi, was stupefied.

Looking at the countless dark figures that were rushing over, her heart thumped erratically almost as if it was going to leap out of her body.

She had never seen a scene like this in her entire life.

Can he really deal with this?

“Close your eyes.”

Levi’s voice sounded beside her ears.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1115​

The Undefeatable God of War made his move.

Tiffany closed her eyes and covered her ears.

Shaking as she stood, she could feel a gust of wind slashing at her face like a blade. Instantly, her face was burning in pain.

Thump!

Another strong gust of wind smashed into her and pushed her onto the ground.

Tiffany opened her eyes, and the scene before her would be seared into her mind for the rest of her life.

Levi was like a battle God who had descended upon the mortal realm.

All he had with him was his guts and his iron-like fists.

Yet, the foreign fighters could not even defend themselves under his attacks.

In the brief moment she had her eyes closed, the floor was already littered with corpses.

With a quick count, she realized there were over three hundred bodies on the ground.

Her eyes had been closed for less than a minute.

The average-sized figure in the middle suddenly seemed to be towering over everyone.

He’s a hero!

He’s the undefeatable God of War!

A sharp scent of blood assaulted her senses.

The shocking scene made her unable to tear her eyes away.

More than the shock that she felt was the epiphany that dawned upon her.

As the most beautiful woman in Oakland City, Tiffany had seen every kind of situation and every type of person.

Nevertheless, this was something she had never come across before today.

This man, who was like a God of War, was the kind of person she hated and looked down upon.

Yet, the shocking epiphany that she was now experiencing came from none other than the man before her.

Who is he?

Is he really just the Garrison family’s illegitimate son?

Is he simply just the bastard that everyone’s talking about?

On the battlefield, the more Levi fought, the stronger he became.

His fighting prowess sent despair into the hearts of the other fighters.

This can’t be.

Levi has been living as a hermit for so long. How can he still be this powerful?

No.

He’s even more powerful than before!

We’re doomed.

Aside from the despair that the fighters were feeling, they had noticed that Levi did not seem to have the intention to rush into the manor to save anyone.

Instead, the goal he had in his mind seemed to be killing every single one of them.

Did we step into a trap?

The people we sent in might be in danger.

They might not even get a glimpse of Zoey and Emma.

Meanwhile, in the manor, the foreign fighters rushed in.

To their disappointment, they found no one in it.

There were no signs of Zoey and Emma.

However, the best stalkers had been monitoring the two and they were sure that neither of the women had left the manor.

No matter how impressive Levi was, or how terrifying his subordinates were, the two women could not have disappeared without a trace in front of the foreign fighters.

It was simply impossible.

Before they could think of the reason, someone ordered, “Retreat!”

If Zoey and Emma were absent, that meant this was a trap.

Just as they were about to retreat, a voice echoed in the room. “Are you all leaving just like this?”

With that, the Five Great Wars Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, Specter Army, Beasts, and Amethyst Guards all surrounded the foreign fighters.

What came next was Levi’s men trashing their opponents.

White Tiger, especially, enjoyed his time. After all, it had been a while since he had been so excited.

It was a one-sided battle where one party crushed the other.

None of the elite fighters escaped.

Outside the manor.

Tiffany had a look of disbelief on her face.

She had just witnessed Levi destroying all of his opponents.

There were over a thousand people!

When Martin opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by bodies.

This time, he fainted from fright.

Horror.

It’s pure horror!

This was hell on earth.

The whole time, Tiffany never stopped shaking.

The man in front of her was like the devil.

The distance between them had never been wider.

“You used to be losers. You’re still losers now.”

Indifference was the only emotion in Levi’s eyes as he looked at the defeated fighters.

Staring at Levi, Tiffany shouted, “W-Who are you?”

 

[indra]

Chapter 1116​

She could not imagine who Levi truly was.

But she was sure that he was definitely not just a bastard.

Tiffany finally had a better understanding of Levi after what she witnessed.

Levi had ignored the Garrison family and even bet against Tyrone not because he was ignorant but because he could; he had the power to challenge the Garrison family.

At that moment, Tiffany could no longer compare Levi to any member of the Garrison family.

She now had to compare Levi with the entire Garrison family.

Damien, the genius of the Garrison family, was once the excellent man she favored.

Now, however, she did not even want to compare him with Levi.

If Damien had been in this battle, he would have died within seconds.

Even I myself would have been dead.

However, this man was undefeatable; his fighting prowess far exceeds the rest.

He even saved me from danger.

With that thought in mind, Tiffany knew the man before her was not as simple as he looked.

After all, he was someone who could make the Garrison clan of the Oakland City remorseful.

“You don’t need to know.”

Levi cast her an indifferent glance.

Looking at his back, Tiffany felt a pang of sadness and hopelessness in her heart.

She realized that no matter how beautiful she was, she could never make Levi interested in her.

In fact, he was worthy to ignore her.

But isn’t he being too apathetic?

Does he really not have any feelings for me?

After all, I’m such a gorgeous lady.

Can’t he even soften his tone when he talks to me?

But… Wait a minute.

He saved me earlier.

Thinking of the way Levi’s hand was on her shoulder, delight filled her heart.

That means he feels something for me.

Otherwise, why would he save me?

I did such a despicable thing. Isn’t it better to kill me?

So why did he save me?

It could only mean that he isn’t completely ignoring me.

“Thank you for saving my life!”

Even after everything had died down, Tiffany was still trembling.

All she wanted earlier was to make Levi regret; she never expected to be involved in a great battle like this.

It felt like hell for her.

“I don’t need your thanks, I just hope that you’ll stop harassing me from now on,” Levi responded without turning around.

Biting down on her lower lip, Tiffany muttered, “Why… Why are you so cold to me? Didn’t you save me earlier?”

Tiffany had come to a simple conclusion—Levi must have saved her because he liked her.

Why else would he save me, but not Martin and the others?

“I did save you, but only because you’re from Erudia. That’s all,” Levi clarified in a frigid tone.

“What about Martin? He’s from Erudia too. And what about his subordinates? Why didn’t you save them?” Tiffany questioned without hesitation.

In a placid tone, Levi replied, “I didn’t save Martin because I know he’ll survive.”

After all, Martin had been training since young; he would survive the punch from the fight earlier.

“As for his subordinates, they’re not from Erudia, so why should I save them?” Levi threw the question back at her.

Tiffany froze.

Levi was right. Martin’s guards were not from Erudia; they were from Raysonia.

“Let me make myself clear. I saved you for no other reasons than because you’re Erudian.”

With that, Levi turned and left.

Tiffany could not react as she stood rooted to the ground.

Nothing had gone according to what she imagined would happen in her trip to North Hampton.

Instead, she had gotten herself into such a fiasco.

This was the first time she saw the true side of Levi.

In the beginning, she thought the only one who could match her was Damien. At the same time, the one she preferred was the legendary God of War.

Now, another person had entered her list—Levi.

But why is he acting so cold toward me?

 

[indra]

Chapter 1117​

Soon, someone sent Martin and Tiffany away.

At the same time, they cleaned up the battlefield.

When Levi returned to the manor, the signs of battle had long since been erased.

It was as if no one had come.

No one could have imagined that over two thousand elite fighters were annihilated.

Even until the moment they died, they never knew where Zoey and Emma were.

Neither did they ever find out when the two women left.

Even to their last breaths, they wondered why they never found out the whereabouts of Zoey and Emma.

They were so sure they had eyes on them.

In actuality, Zoey and Emma never took a step out of the manor.

After all, no one could take them away while elites from various countries had their eyes on them.

In other words, the whole world was focused on Zoey and Emma.

It was impossible for them to leave.

As such, the two had always been in the manor.

Their seeming absence could be attributed to Levi’s design of their house.

Back then, he had been extra cautious, and he made a secret space under the manor.

It was a precaution in case of a day like this day would happen. If he could not protect them in time, Zoey and the others could hide in this space.

He never thought it would ever be used.

Levi had wanted to lure all that conspire to harm him into one spot so that he could get rid of them at once.

However, it was difficult for his enemy to make a move as he was always in the manor.

As such, he thought that he might not be able to lure them out all at once.

Just as he was looking for an opportunity to leave the manor so that he could draw the fight to him, Martin and Tiffany came.

They gave him the perfect opportunity to leave the manor and let his enemy make a move.

With how everything panned out in the end, he had to admit that these two had been a great help to his plan.

“This feels great! I haven’t felt like this for ages!” White Tiger bellowed.

“They’re all wiped out this time! This must be a great blow to their plans!” everyone laughed.

Soon, news from North Hampton spread across Erudia. In a blink of an eye, the entire world found out about it.

The Eighteen-Nation Alliance and other forces were dumbfounded.

We’ve failed!

We actually failed.

Not to mention we’ve failed so miserably. Just like that, we’ve lost everyone…

How strong is he?

With just one battle, over two thousand elite fighters gathered by tens of thousands of forces abroad were all wiped out.

The battle once again made the mention of God of War rock the entire world.

The devil-like man was still as powerful as ever.

He was still undefeatable, despite having weaknesses.

As previously commented, he was like a God that no mortal could lay a finger on.

“The God of War of Erudia once again makes a shocking move. He wiped out the entire army and won against hundreds of countries.”

That was the news that spread across the world.

At that moment, the world was in an uproar.

The God of War of Erudia was stronger than before, and he was still undefeatable.

Once again, the words “Erudia is a forbidden ground as long as he was around” were proven to be right.

No one would dare to lay a finger on Erudia anymore.

The citizens of Erudia were cheering.

The victory made the quiet Erudia flew into an uproar once again.

The more powerful Erudia was, the prouder its citizens were.

Moreover, the battle had relieved the citizens of their frustrations.

It had taught the invaders a tough lesson—That Erudia was not a country to be belittled.

The God of War was pushed to greater heights once more.

Nowadays, the dreams of many children were to protect their country and make Erudia prosper even more.

Before that, the children were developing the wrong morals as all of them were hoping to become celebrities instead.

Tiffany and Martin returned by plane.

When they entered the plane, they realized every passenger had a look of joy on their faces.

What’s going on?

Tiffany was burning with curiosity.

“The God of War has shown everyone the greatness of Erudia again! It’s so satisfying to hear about the battle at North Hampton,” someone yelled.

“Wait… What? The God of War?”

Tiffany’s face paled.

Chapter 1118​

This entire time, Tiffany had been busy treating Martin in a dazed state.

She knew nothing about the significant news of Erudia.

But the moment she heard the mention of the North Hampton battle…

Isn’t that what I’ve experienced first-hand?

Are they saying that the man that was involved in that battle was the God of War?

Levi is actually the God of War?

“He’s the hero that I’ve been yearning for!”

Upon realizing it, Tiffany jumped to her feet. She was delighted and in disbelief at the same time.

Her abnormal action made everyone turned to look at her.

Even Martin shot her a look that was reserved for lunatics.

He’s actually Erudia’s God of War…

We were in an epic fight…

Is this bad luck or good luck?

I can’t tell.

Tiffany finally understood what Levi’s words meant.

He saved them because they were Erudians.

He was the God of War who put the welfare of Erudia and its people in his heart.

Other than admiration and adoration, Tiffany now had respect for Levi too.

The world that Levi was in was a world they could never imagine reaching.

For the country, he was even able to let go of his hatred.

He knew Martin had come to take his life, but he still saved him.

To live in Erudia and be in the protection of the God of War was a blessing.

Tiffany stared out the window as a plethora of feelings settled in her heart.

After returning to Oakland City, no man would pique her interest anymore.

After all, a woman who had seen a lion would never settle for stray dogs.

Knowing that Martin was injured, Tiffany’s grandfather and father, Jordan and Arvin Meyers, came to pick them up.

Even the head of the imperial Preston family, Leland, who was also Martin’s grandfather, came.

“Why are you hurt so badly?”

Everyone panicked upon seeing Martin severely injured state.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you go to take revenge on Levi? Why are you hurt so badly? And what happened to the ten guards I’ve invited from Raysonia? Where are they?” Leland asked anxiously.

Tiffany pursed her lips and muttered, “They’re all… Dead.”

“What? They’re all dead? What happened? Did Levi do this?” Leland questioned.

Leland, Jordan, Arvin all gulped.

If this really is Levi’s doing, he’s a monster!

After all, Martin is ranked second on the Heir Leaderboard.

Tiffany shook her head. “It wasn’t Levi.”

She was telling them the truth; Levi was not the one who did this.

“I knew it. How can Levi possibly do this? If he can defeat the person who was ranked number two of the Heir Leaderboard, the Garrison family would have definitely taken him in.”

Arvin heaved a sigh of relief.

Both Tiffany and Martin, however, fell silent.

If they were honest with themselves, neither of them were in any place to discuss Levi’s prowess.

“We came across the foreign fighters who were there to kill the God of War. They were the ones who killed the guards, and they even injured Martin,” Tiffany informed.

“What? You were involved in that battle? The entire Oakland City is talking about it. The Garrison family has found out the identity of the God of War. They’re now trying to find out which of the Garrison family’s bloodline the God of War is from,” Arvin exclaimed.

Martin’s swollen eye twitched.

He’s from the Garrison clan of Oakland City.

With a conflicted look, Tiffany muttered, “We’ve actually met the God of War. He was the one who saved us. If it weren’t for him, both of us would have been dead by now.”

“What? You saw the God of War?”

“What does he look like?”

Tnx for the great work Grandmaster Indra

Chapter 1119​

Jordan, Arvin, and Leland were questioning them with a manic look on their faces.

Even though they were part of the imperial family in Oakland City, to meet the God of War was an honor for them.

Moreover, to hear that Tiffany and Martin were saved by the God of War was more than enough to send them into a frenzy.

They fixed their gazes on Tiffany, waiting to hear her answer about his appearance.

“He is the personification of greatness. From today onward, no man will have a place in my heart. If I can’t marry him, I’d rather stay single until I die.”

That was the only answer Tiffany gave them.

Arvin and the others understood her words instantly.

Tiffany must have seen a man of true perfection.

Otherwise, she would not have made a decision like this.

The one she was interested in earlier had been Damien, but even then, she never made any declaration like this.

They could barely believe these words would come out of her mouth after meeting the God of War.

“My dear, you have to think this through,” Arvin sighed.

“I’ve thought this through. Dad, please spread the news,” Tiffany pleaded.

Unexpectedly, Martin expressed his support for Tiffany’s declaration.

His support stunned the rest.

After all, Martin had always been in love with Tiffany, and he was even prepared to propose to her with the Preston family’s support.

Why is he giving up now?

The only explanation was because Martin was defeated by the God of War.

Soon, news of how the beauty of Oakland City, Tiffany, would only have eyes for the God of War traveled across Oakland City. She had declared that she would not marry anyone other than him, even if that meant she would stay single forever.

The moment that news spread, Oakland City was in an uproar.

Is Tiffany going to be single until she dies?

And to think that she would declare it in this way!

However, it wasn’t exactly impossible for her to be together with the God of War.

That night, many of Tiffany’s suitors did not sleep.

They were at a loss of what to do.

After all, their love rival was the God of War.

They knew full well that they would never be able to win against that man.

In the Garrison clan’s hall in Oakland City.

“Fantastic. As expected of the God of War of Erudia. What a satisfying battle!” Tyrone thundered.

“How powerful! How great! Many thought the God of War can only fight in wars with armies. no one would think that he’d be that strong himself. He actually defeated thousands of elite fighters all by himself!” the people praised.

Damien exclaimed, “That being said, the best battle was still the battle that gave the God of War his title.”

Damien knew everything about the God of War, including the battles he was in.

“That’s right! The God of War defeated the Eighteen-Nation Alliance’s fighter with a pair of iron fists. Now that was a true display of power!”

Everyone could not help but sing praises upon recalling that battle.

“He really showed the world how great Erudia is. The God of War is really a role model for all our children,” Tyrone sighed wistfully.

His gaze then landed on Damien.

If only Damien is the God of War.

How nice will it be if the God of War is my son?

“The God of War is one of the Garrisons, but we’ve yet to find out which family he belongs in. We’ve tried to look into his identity, but our search was to no avail.”

At that, the council members of the Garrison family all had similar looks of disappointment.

Tyrone announced, “From now on, I’ll be using all my resources to find out who the God of War is. Since he’s a Garrison, he has to know his roots. Even if he’s many times removed, he is still part of the Garrison clan. We have to take the God of War back into the family.”

The Garrison clan of the Oakland City was the oldest and purest bloodline of the Garrisons. In other words, they were the original family of the Garrisons.

Anyone who bore the Garrison family name was in a way related to the Garrison clan in Oakland City.

This was Tyrone’s reason to get the God of War to return to the Garrison clan.

If the top ancient family of Erudia had the God of War among them, it would be an unimaginable and magnificent sight

 

[indra]

Chapter 1120​

After Tyrone made sure he would not lose his status as the head of the family anytime soon, he wanted to contribute to the family.

Hence, he wanted to get the God of War to join the Garrison clan.

This was something he had to do, regardless of the price he had to pay.

“The moment we have the God of War on our side, we will have a pair of powerful people in the younger generation of the Garrison clan.”

Tyrone could already imagine the scene.

Naturally, the other one in the pair Tyrone was talking about was Damien.

“Sir, I’ll be honest with you. Damien isn’t worthy yet to be compared with the God of War,” someone pointed out.

“Come now, I know it’s just wishful thinking on my part, but that doesn’t mean you can rain on my parade like that.” Tyrone chuckled.

Meanwhile, Damien’s fists were clenched tight. He had been doing his best to catch up to the God of War, but the latter was too strong.

The fact that he could never catch up to the man caused him despair.

Right then, someone announced, “News from the imperial Meyers family. Tiffany has declared that she won’t marry anyone other than the God of War. She’ll stay single until she dies if she doesn’t get to marry him.”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Tyrone and the others asked.

Damien, who knew almost everything about the God of War, said, “Father, Martin and Tiffany had originally went to deal with Levi, but they ended up encountering the foreign elite fighters. I think they were saved by the God of War!”

“I see. So the girl has seen the God of War’s true face and was impressed by him. I’m sure any woman in Erudia will want to marry him, much less Tiffany,” Tyrone voiced.

“That’s right. The girl of the Meyers family has high expectations. I heard even Damien barely reaches her expectations. Only the God of War can impress the beauty of Oakland City,” one noted.

“Hahaha! I heard Levi is still in love with Tiffany? Did he refuse to destroy the engagement contract?” Tyrone laughed.

Damien nodded. “Yes. But I guess it’s normal for a spirited young man like Levi to yearn for Tiffany. If he did not have a wife, I reckoned he wouldn’t have torn up the contract.”

“But is he any match for her? Now that she’s refusing to marry anyone other than the God of War, he’s nothing but a joke now!” Tyrone scoffed.

“Right. Let’s not waste any more time on this and start finding out who the God of War is. If things don’t work out, we, the Garrison clan, will head to North Hampton to meet him.”

That was what Tyrone had planned.

Nonetheless, he never thought he would go to North Hampton and South Hampton so often in his life.

As news of Tiffany’s declaration spread across Oakland City, a displeased voice could be heard roaring somewhere in said city.

“My brother-in-law will never fall for you. So you best give up now!”

The owner of the voice was none other than Abigail.

She had come to Oakland City.

Yet, she could not avoid the news about Levi.

Even if the bet with the Garrison family had gone unmentioned, she kept hearing news about him defeating the foreign fighters and getting involved with the beautiful Tiffany.

It was as if Levi was haunting her, following her wherever she goes.

Moreover, someone had been courting her recently.

Describing her mood as foul was an understatement.

“It’s so annoying!” Abigail fumed.

On the other hand, there was someone who was thrilled to hear news of Levi.

That person was Benny.

As a good friend of Levi, when he heard about his victory, he was overjoyed. Benny had even sent a congratulatory message to Levi.

“Mr. Quinton, I will come to Oakland City soon. Let’s meet when I’m there,” Levi chuckled.

“Hahaha! All right. I look forward to your visit.”

Both were prominent figures in Erudia, and yet, they acted like ordinary people in their daily lives.

However, whenever they were on the battlefield or in the hospital, they were like Gods walking in the mortal world.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1121​

Almost everyone was discussing the God of War’s victory in North Hampton.

Even Zoey and Emma were gossiping about it.

They would never have thought that this battle to have taken place where they lived.

“I wonder what kind of person the God of War is. Is he a good husband? A good son? A good father?” Zoey chuckled.

Levi immediately answered, “Of course he is.”

In the beginning, Zoey had found out about his identity.

Yet, Damien appeared.

The next few days, everything returned to normal.

Forces from all over the world were now silent.

They had paid a tremendous price for their last attack by having their army wiped out.

Moreover, none of the hundred elite fighters of the Saga Leaderboard came back alive.

“He’s too powerful. Even when we know his weakness, we can’t do anything about it.”

Levi’s prowess instilled despair in others.

“No. We can’t just give up like this. It’s a rare chance that we know his weakness. We have to find a way.”

The overseas forces still refused to give up.

In a blink of an eye, half a year passed.

By now, Zoey’s belly was already humongous. In three months, it would be time for her labor.

Nowadays, Zoey could not do anything. No matter what she did, Levi and Emma would be by her side.

As days went by, Levi became more worried and anxious.

Both the Lopez and Black families were worried about Zoey’s condition.

One day, Meredith and the others came to North Hampton.

“Zoey only has three months before it’s time for her labor. You have to send her abroad until the baby is born,” Meredith said.

Nowadays, more and more rich people preferred giving birth abroad.

The reasons being that the air, the environment, the people, and the medical standards abroad were much better.

Even many rich celebrities gave birth to their children overseas.

“Well, thanks to Logan, we’ve already made the necessary arrangements overseas. We’ll be waiting for the baby to be born with the best doctors and medical equipment,” Aaron and Caitlyn uttered.

Upon hearing that, Levi frowned.

Aren’t they being too melodramatic?

What’s so good about the other countries?

Why does she have to give birth to the baby overseas?

I’ve never heard of anything bad about giving birth to the baby here.

Accidents happen everywhere.

Are babies that are born overseas smarter?

How can that be?

This is bullsh*t.

“I don’t agree with it. My child has to be born in Erudia. We won’t go overseas,” Levi firmly rejected.

Shocked, Meredith glared at him. “I’m sorry, but you have no say in this,” she uttered, despite knowing Levi was the boss of Morris Group.

The fact that the Morris Group was now the target of the Garrison clan meant they were in crisis.

Moreover, the bet that Levi made with the Garrison clan meant that his status as the boss of Morris Group was now essentially useless.

Neither the Lopez and Black families were treating Levi any differently.

Patting Levi, Aaron muttered, “I have something to talk to you about. Soon, the baby will be born. I have a question for you.”

“Ask away.”

“It’s about the baby’s last name. After discussing, we’ve decided for the baby to follow the mother’s last name, Lopez. You have nothing against it, right?” Aaron uttered.

“Yes. The baby has to take on her mother’s last name. The baby must not be one of the Garrisons, even if that means the baby has to be one of the Blacks.”

Everyone’s minds were made.

“You won’t oppose to this, will you?” Caitlyn questioned.

Levi glanced at Zoey. “As long as Zoey agrees to it, I won’t oppose.”

“I disagree with it! Since I’m married to Levi, the baby has to be a Garrison.”

 

[indra]

Chapter 1122​

Zoey’s firm stance delighted Levi.

She’s standing on my side.

“Alright, that settles it then. My child can only be a Garrison. I won’t let anyone change my child’s last name.”

Levi cast an icy gaze at the others.

“Levi, it’s not as if you have a choice. Besides, your bet with the Garrison clan will be soon. You don’t even know if you’ll survive it, so why should you care about your child’s last name?”

“We’re changing the baby’s last name for their sake!”

They were uncompromising.

“Zoey, pack up. We’re going overseas. Logan has made all the necessary arrangements,” Caitlyn urged.

To make sure Zoey would give birth to the child safely, they would bring her out of the country.

“No. I won’t let Zoey leave the country. My mother and I can take good care of her.”

Levi was resolute.

For starters, he wanted the child to be born in Erudia.

Secondly, Zoey was still watched by many. The moment she was overseas, she would be in danger.

While he would surely protect her, he still did not want her to be in any form of danger at all.

He had to make sure that she was safe and sound.

“She’s our daughter, you don’t have a choice in this matter.”

“I’m a doctor myself. It’s true that the medical standards abroad are better than the ones in the country. Don’t try to insist otherwise.”

Both Aaron and Caitlyn were adamant, too.

Meanwhile, Zoey was silent.

Her priority was to give birth to her baby.

She did not mind doing what was best for the baby to be born safely.

Hence, she did not reject the idea of heading overseas.

Moreover, Caitlyn was a doctor, so she would heed her mother’s words.

“My stance remains the same. Zoey’s not going overseas. What’s wrong? Are the medical standards in Erudia that lousy? Moreover, I know Benny Quinton. I’ll just ask him for help with Zoey’s delivery,” Levi insisted.

“This…”

His words stumped Caitlyn and the others.

It was true. He knew Benny as he was the boss of Morris Group.

“Besides, Zoey’s stomach is already so huge. It won’t be good for her to take another long trip,” Levi continued.

“He’s right. Mom, Dad, I was born here. It’s not that bad. Furthermore, he knows a lot of capable people.”

Even Zoey was now standing on Levi’s side.

It was mainly because Levi had mentioned Benny, who was the greatest doctor in all of Erudia.

“Fine, we’ll go with your plan. But Levi, I’m warning you. You’d better give the best to my daughter. You have to be by her side every single moment,” Aaron warned in a grave tone.

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave Zoey, not even for a second.”

I don’t need him to tell me that.

There’s no way I’ll treat Zoey badly.

In fact, it’s Impossible for me to treat her badly.

“Levi. I need to ask you a question. It’s almost time for your bet with the Garrison clan. How are you going to win the bet? They’ve given you four conditions, but which one can you achieve? I thought you’d be able to complete the business condition, but now, the Morris Group is in critical condition. How will you go up against the Garrison clan?”

Aaron bombarded him with questions.

Hearing that, Zoey’s face turned ashen.

Time was ticking, but Levi seemed to have made no preparations for it.

Has he accept defeat?

“Don’t concern yourself with the Garrison clan. It’s but a trivial matter. Right now, we should look forward to the baby’s birth.”

Levi’s nonchalant attitude infuriated the others.

He really doesn’t think for Zoey.

What a disappointment.

At that moment, all everyone could feel was disappointment for Levi.

Chapter 1123​

Worry was written all over Zoey’s face. What is Levi going to do next?

How will he go up against the Garrison clan?

A year had almost gone by, but Levi had done nothing in preparation.

Instead, it seemed like Morris Group’s situation was worsening.

Staring at Levi, Meredith and Robert inquired, “When it’s time for the day of the bet, you won’t escape, will you?”

“That sounds possible. You might ditch your wife and child. You look like that kind of person to me!” Harry added.

Levi smiled. “How is that possible?”

He said before that he would protect Zoey for the rest of his life.

He was unmoved, even when he saw the most beautiful woman in Oakland City.

AS such, it was simply impossible for him to abandon Zoey.

“All right. We’ll see whether you’ll resolve the matter or try to run away when the time comes,” the few people sneered.

In a meeting room at Raysonia’s navy base were several people with different skin colors.

They were the ones who hated Levi the most. After all, they were defeated by Levi once.

Ever since they found out Levi’s weaknesses, they had been researching ways to defeat him.

In other words, as long as Levi was alive, they could never rest.

They spend their every waking moment wishing they could kill him.

Levi’s weaknesses, Zoey and Emma, were their target.

“The God of War is in Erudia, and we can’t lay a finger on him there, not after how he wiped out our entire army a while back,” someone sighed.

“Unless we can find a way to lure the God of War away from his turf, we won’t be able to do anything.”

“But how can we lure him out? Zoey is about to give birth soon. Unless there is something exceptionally urgent, the God of War will never leave the place.”

Everyone felt helpless.

Finally, they all turned to look at Tenichi, the military strategist of Raysonia.

Not only was the man capable, but he was also a brilliant strategist.

Right then, Tenichi smiled.

Instantly, everyone knew what that smile meant.

It was clear that Tenichi had a plan.

“If there aren’t any emergencies, we’ll make one. We’ll force the God of War to leave Erudia. Everything else after that will be a piece of cake. We’ll send someone to go after Zoey and Emma. Once that’s done, we can blackmail Levi Garrison. His days as the God of War will be good as gone.”

Tenichi’s smile grew into a sinister grin.

“What kind of emergency should we create that will make the God of War leave Erudia?” the others queried.

Confidently, Tenichi uttered, “Don’t worry. I already have a plan.”

“That’s great. This time, we must kill Levi.”

Everyone had excited grins on their faces.

Meanwhile, the Garrison clan was pulling strings to find out details about the God of War.

Yet, their investigation was fruitless.

To find out about the God of War, one had to have high societal status.

Moreover, photos of Zoey overseas had been removed from everywhere.

Thus, the Garrison clan could not find a single clue about his identity.

“What should we do?”

The council members of the Garrison clan were depressed.

“How about this? I’ll head to North Hampton myself to meet with the God of War and I’ll tell him our aim,” Tyrone sighed.

With no other choice, he decided to let go of his pride this time.

Initially, he had hoped that he could maintain his dignity, but things were not going his way.

“Will the God of War agree to meet with you?” Damien inquired.

“I’m still the patriarch of the top ancient family in Erudia. How can he refuse? To me, we’re equals. He’s the top of the military world, and I’m the top of the ancient families.”

As he spoke, Tyrone had his head held high and he was exuding an aura that only noble had.

.

Chapter 1124​

“Damien, you’ll come with me. I’ll let you meet with the God of War so that you’ll be motivated. You’ll benefit from this in the long run.”

“I have high hopes for you. Even though you’re not as good as the God of War, you’re still better than everyone else when he’s excluded,” Tyrone reassured.

“All right, Father.”

Passion burned in Damien’s eyes.

All this while, the God of War had been his aim.

He collected every information about the God of War and analyzed everything about the man.

In other words, he was a fanatic of the God of War.

In his eyes, the God of War was like a hurdle that he had to cross in order for him to achieve greatness.

Therefore, when he heard he would be able to get a glimpse of the God of War, Damien was beyond ecstatic.

He was sure that he would be even more motivated after meeting him.

He looked forward to the meeting.

In the afternoon, the father and son duo headed to North Hampton.

This time, Tyrone did not hide the news of his journey. Instead, he traveled like the head of the top ancient family in Erudia that he was.

There were more than a hundred jets escorting him.

The moment he shifted an inch, tens of thousands would surge forward to protect him.

Every moment of his journey showed everyone the difference between common folks and the ancient family.

Tyrone’s act was a message for the God of War. He was telling him they were equals.

“Let’s go, Damien. Let’s visit Levi first. It’ll be a year in four months. Let’s take a look at how prepared he is.”

After reaching North Hampton, the first person Tyrone went to was Levi.

“Haha! Sure. It’s been more than half a year. Let’s visit him,” Damien laughed boisterously.

For the past six months, Levi had been his target.

He had cornered Morris Group in North Hampton, making sure that they were unable to do anything.

In other words, the company was doomed in the corporate world.

It could not make any moves in the military and political domain.

The only way left was physical force.

However, it was impossible to enter the Garrison clan through physical force.

Even the guardsmen at the Garrison clan were terrifying.

Meanwhile, Levi and Emma were suntanning with Zoey. Even Caitlyn and the others were doing the same as well.

Just then, Tyrone arrived.

The moment he came, the park was cleared out.

His dramatic arrival stunned Caitlyn and the others.

Upon finding out their identities, Caitlyn and the rest were frightened out of their wits.

This is horrifying!

The Garrison clan’s power was unimaginable for them.

Once upon a time, even a servant of the Garrison clan had the capability to crush North Hampton and South Hampton.

Now that the head of the family was here, coupled with the fact of the grand entrance he had made, it was a miracle that they had not fainted from fear.

That day was the first time Zoey had seen Tyrone.

The noble aura he exuded was something she had never come across in the past.

It was an overwhelming aura.

To the average person, Tyrone was god-like.

Nowadays, she was getting familiar with the Garrison clan. But just when she thought she understood them, meeting Tyrone made her realized how wrong she was.

The Garrison clan was even more unfathomable than she could imagine.

For a moment, she even felt that a man like Tyrone should not only have one wife—that it was right for him to abandon Emma back then.

In her eyes, the man before him was mighty.

He was the man who led the top ancient family of Erudia.

He was a man beyond imagination.

Facing Tyrone’s strong presence, Meredith and the others got on their knees to greet him.

It was as if they had met an emperor of the olden times.

He looked at the rest as if they were nothing but insignificant insects.

To him, the people of North Hampton were no different from worms.

Even if Levi was mighty, he was just a mighty worm.

Slowly, he turned to look at Levi and inquired, “How are your preparations going?”

 

[indra]

Chapter 1125​

At that moment, the entire place fell silent.

Everyone gasped.

The color drained from Zoey and Emma’s faces.

Levi had not done any preparations in the past six months.

It’s impossible for him to win the challenge.

They could only pray that Tyrone would forget about this matter.

However, it seemed like not only did Tyrone remember it, but he even came to check up on him.

We’re doomed.

I guess the saying was true, that those targeted by the Garrison clan would not have any good ending.

Levi looked at Tyrone calmly and smiled. “You don’t need to worry about that. I can still deal with a small fry like the Garrison clan. This is just a trivial matter; it’s incomparable to the birth of my child.”

Such arrogance!

I can see that he’s still as arrogant as ever.

Even now, he still looked down upon the top ancient family of Erudia.

What a crazy man.

He’s a lunatic through and through.

In other words, they felt that there was something wrong with Levi’s brain.

They could not believe he just ignored Tyrone.

Even Zoey was infuriated.

How can he still spout such nonsense at a time like this?

There’s no benefit for him to act that way.

His stubbornness will only infuriate the Garrison clan further! They will never let him off the hook now.

Meredith and the others were even angrier than Zoey.

All of them were cursing at Levi for his foolish words.

“Get on your knees and apologize! who are you to speak that way to your father?”

“Once everything’s blow over, you can still be a carefree man in the Garrison family. That’s a great thing!”

Unfortunately, Levi was persistent, and they were sure something was fried in his brain.

“Honorable Mr. Garrison, we apologize to you on behalf of this kid. He’s just a stubborn boy, he didn’t mean anything by it.”

“That’s right. He’s a good kid. As long as you take him in, he won’t cause any trouble for you.”

Meredith, Robert, and the others were all on their knees, putting in a good word for Levi.

This was their only hope now.

If they managed to tug on Tyron’s heartstring, this was their chance to prosper.

However, Tyrone sneered, “Give up. I know what you’re thinking about. I’ll tell you now that it’s impossible. Even if he wins the challenge, I won’t take him in as my son. Not unless he can become one of the top three in the Saber Leaderboard.”

Tyrone’s ruthlessness stupefied Meredith and the others.

“Top three in Saber Leaderboard?”

Meredith and Robert knew what that meant.

It was impossible for Levi to achieve that.

To achieve the top three in the Saber Leaderboard, one had to be the genius among geniuses.

One had to become a self-made master in a field.

In fact, the individual had to be so capable that they would be able to establish a prominent family on their own.

Looking at Emma, Damien chuckled, “It’s not that Father doesn’t want to take him in. Father’s status is too high right now. Levi will have to have an appropriate status to become my father’s son.”

What he was implying was that Levi was unworthy of being Tyrone’s son.

“Levi, don’t forget. Four months later will be the day of the bet.

I’ve given you the four conditions. It’s your win as long as you fulfill any one of them. If you fail, however, I’m sure you remember what you said. It’ll be too embarrassing for you to live, so you’ll have to kill yourself.”

Tyrone fixed his icy gaze on Levi.

This time, he would no longer show any mercy.

The moment Levi failed, he would be doomed.

There would be no chance for him to stay alive.

Zoey nearly passed out upon hearing that.

Will my baby have to live a life without a father?

“I know, but I won’t fail.”

Levi gave him a smile.

“Well, I’ll be waiting for you four months later at the Garrison clan’s main entrance then. I hope you’ll be there. And don’t try to escape,” Tyrone burst out laughing.

.

Chapter 1126​

Tyrone, Damien, Meredith, Robert, and the others shared similar beliefs that Levi will take the cowardly route at the very last minute.

In their minds, they were sure that he was going to abandon his family when the time came.

Back then, he was able to get through many obstacles due to great timing and luck.

However, this time, his opponent is Erudia’s top ancient family.

Even the secret that Emma has was useless.

“Father, I’m quite sure Levi will run away. He must have thought that everything was fine, so he must be surprised that you’ve come to monitor him,” Damien chortled.

He, too, felt that Levi would escape.

“We’ll see.”

“Let’s go. We’re meeting with the God of War next.”

With that, Tyrone left with Damien.

Caitlyn and Aaron glared at Levi. “I’m warning you. You’d better not leave Zoey and your baby behind.”

“That’s right. Even if death awaits you, you have to face it yourself. You can’t leave this mess behind for Zoey,” they ordered.

They feared Levi would just leave.

“Don’t worry. While my son doesn’t excel in anything else, he’s a good man. Otherwise, he’d have admitted defeat to the Garrison clan early on,” Emma defended.

Zoey gently touched her belly and muttered, “I trust Levi. No matter how tough things get, he won’t leave the child and me behind.”

They had been together for a long time. As such, Zoey knew Levi well.

She would not be exaggerating if she claimed that Levi would die for her.

She believed in him.

He would not leave her to face the crisis alone.

Aggrieved, Meredith stomped her feet. “Continue to have blind faith in him then. You’ll find out soon enough that he’ll leave you all eventually!”

If they were honest with themselves, they were not shameless enough to speak the words in their heart.

Tyrone had once abandoned his family for his own benefits.

Hence, they felt that Levi would follow in his father’s footsteps.

As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Moreover, this was a situation of life and death.

As time passed, the thought of Levi running off became stronger in their minds.

However, they dared not say what Tyrone had done.

All they dared to say was their distrust in Levi.

“Grandma, don’t worry. Until the baby is born, Levi won’t take a step away from me. I swear this on my life,” Zoey proudly stated.

Levi moved closer and held her hands tightly. “Zoey, don’t worry. I’ll always be with you.”

Zoey was sure of Levi’s character.

There was nothing more Levi could ask for when he had a wife like this.

He smiled.

There is no way a mere Garrison clan can make me leave her.

Even if the sky collapsed on me, I would not take a step away from her.

“I hope so, but Zoey, I still think you’ll be disappointed.”

Harry still had a look of disbelief on his face.

“All right. Let’s stop talking about this. Levi will never leave me, and I’ll leave it at that.”

Zoey then asked Levi to help her back to the house.

Several days later, Levi received a call from Percy from North Hampton Warzone.

Percy told him Tyrone wanted to meet him.

He even asked Levi if he should reject Tyrone’s request.

“No. I’ll be happy to meet with him. I wonder what they want from me.” Levi responded.

At the front of North Hampton Warzone.

Tyrone and Damien were quietly waiting.

By now, their tens of thousands of escorts had left.

After all, they had put up enough of a show.

“Hello, Mr. Garrison. The God of War has decided to meet you

 

[indra]

Chapter 1127​

“That’s great!” Damien was enraptured.

He was finally going to meet his idol, the God of War.

This would definitely help him a lot in the future.

On the flipside, Tyrone was as calm as the sea.

In his mind, it was only natural that the God of War would come and personally meet someone of his status.

Everyone else is negligible!

I’m the only one that matters!

“Mr. Garrison, please give me a moment! I’ll bring you to meet the God of War shortly!” Percy assured.

“Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Covington.” Damien politely replied.

The duo waited patiently in the room.

“We’re finally able to find out which bloodline of the Garrison family does the God of War belong to.” Tyrone was filled with excitement.

In any case, he was determined to recruit the God of War into the Garrison clan.

This way, the status of Garrison clan as Erudia’s most powerful ancient family would be fortified.

Not to mention the clan would also be able to cement its footing in Bayview.

Damien was trembling in excitement.

The God of War had always been Damien’s source of motivation and fear.

This time, he was going to meet him in person. The overwhelming anxiety was expected.

Meanwhile, Levi arrived and met with Percy.

“God of War, it appears that Tyrone intends for you to regress to the Garrison clan! According to him, the Garrison family in Erudia originated from the Garrison clan. Hence, he insists that you are a member of the Garrison clan and wants you to regress!” Percy sarcastically explained the situation.

“Dream on! He’s asking for the impossible! Who does he think he is? I’m not related to the Garrison clan!” Levi exploded in rage.

“If that’s the case, shall we meet with them now?” Percy questioned.

“Sure,” Levi was looking forward to meeting them now.

His initial plan was to wait patiently until Zoey gave birth to the child. Only then, he would address the issue with the Garrison clan.

However, Tyrone was becoming more aggressive with each passing moment. Now, the man even had the audacity to threaten Levi. His actions had significantly dampened both Zoey and Levi’s moods.

Thus, Levi decided to solve the issue once and for all.

I’ll meet them as the God of War!

I am done hiding my identity!

Levi and Percy walked side by side into the hall.

Just then, a loud whirring sound can be heard coming from the sky.

Levi looked upwards and exclaimed, “It’s the Dragonite Helicopter…”

In Erudia, the usage frequency of the Dragonite Helicopter was extremely low.

The reason being the helicopter was utilized specifically for special missions only. It would only be used either to transport people of status or valuable resources. Additionally, it was also used as a message courier to convey and deliver urgent orders.

If the Dragonite Helicopter were to appear, it must signify an impending important event.

Thud!

Levi’s heart sank as he realized that something was wrong.

The Dragonite Helicopter landed on a nearby lawn.

Two men got off the Dragonite Helicopter. They were decked out in black battle suits with a gold dragon imprinted on their chest plate.

“It’s the Dragonites!” Levi exclaimed.

The Dragonite Helicopter belonged to the jurisdiction of Erudia and Oakland City. Even Levi himself had no right nor power to mobilize it.

Since the Dragonites are here personally to convey and deliver the order. This must mean that the order came from Erudia.

Needless to say, the order is meant for me.

Something big must have happened!

The fact that both the Dragonite Helicopter and the Dragonites were there could only mean that the situation must be extremely urgent and required Levi to personally address it.

Standing beside Levi, Percy was dumbfounded.

He did not expect the Dragonites to show up.

What happened?

Meanwhile, Levi appeared to have figured it out and his face was as pale as paper.

If anything were to happen at this juncture…

I would be in an awkward position.

The two Dragonites strode toward Levi and announced, “The God of War is hereby summoned by this order. This order is extremely urgent!”

.

 

[indra]

Chapter 1128​

Levi stood up straight and saluted.

He gazed at the two Dragonites, “What’s the order?”

“The God of War is to lead your warriors, including the Five Great Wars Regiment, Calvary Regiment, Specter Army, Beasts, and Dragon Legion, and head to North Base One! This order is extremely urgent and requires immediate action. Any form of disobedience will entail military punishment!” the Dragonites enunciated the order clearly.

The Dragonites had issued an irrevocable order.

Levi retrieved the order and glanced through it. As expected, it was an order of the highest level.

Even someone of his status must comply with the order.

“What happened?” Levi asked calmly.

“God of War, do you remember the Blood King Palace?” the Dragonites asked.

“Of course. I eradicated them three years ago! They are a formidable force to be reckoned with. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I say that the threat of the Blood King Palace is even greater than a whole country!” Levi replied.

The Blood King Palace was once an organization in the Western Dark World. It consisted of thousands of elite warriors.

They were a bunch of lunatics, exceptionally specialized at assassination and sabotage.

They were vicious and merciless, without any regard to the consequences of their actions.

They frequently massacred cities of people.

An enemy as such was terrifying.

After all, it was a group of lunatics that ranged in the thousands.

Back then, the Blood King Palace was the most feared and dangerous organization in the Western Dark World.

In fact, it wasn’t just other organizations that were afraid of them, even strong countries were also terrified of them.

The threat from the Blood King Palace was just too overwhelming.

The fact they would strike at unexpected times to take revenge loomed over the Blood King Palace’s enemies.

Those years, the Blood King Palace reigned unchallenged and their ferocity outranked even Levi himself.

Truth be told, Levi even opined that the threat posed by the Blood King Palace significantly exceeds that of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance.

“Could it be that the Blood King Palace has return?” Levi shakenly asked.

“Yes, that is correct! The Blood King Palace is back! Last night, they launched several attacks on North Base One and we suffered severe casualties! According to intelligence, the forces of the Blood King Palace are far stronger than three years ago!” the Dragonites nervously answered.

“How is that possible? I eradicated them during our last encounter three years ago!” Levi was puzzled.

It must be a calculated scheme.

Someone must be behind all of this.

Unbeknownst to him, Levi had actually guessed it correctly.

The person who orchestrated all these was someone who knows about his weakness. And although they have failed once, that doesn’t mean that they would just let Levi off the hook.

That person was none other than Tenichi, the military strategist of Raysonia.

He was the one who lured the Blood King Palace out of hiding…

The fear of the Blood King Palace was deeply rooted in many hearts and the gang of lunatics was not something an ordinary commoner could deal with.

At the moment, only the God of War had what it takes to face them head-on and came out on top.

No one else had been successful before.

Even for Levi, it took him a whole year to successfully complete what he thought was the eradication of the Blood King Palace.

Therefore, when the Blood King Palace resurfaces, Erudia would surely order the God of War to personally confront him.

With that plan in mind, Tenichi was sure that Levi would be transferred away.

As expected.

When the Blood King Palace showed up, Erudia immediately thought of Levi.

An urgent order to eradicate the Blood King Palace once more was immediately delivered and conveyed to Levi.

“God of War, we’re afraid we cannot provide an answer to your question. Rumors have it that it is the surviving minions of the Blood King Palace who hid for nearly four years!”

“God of War, it’s best if you head out now! There’s no time to lose!” the Dragonites pestered him further.

Levi took a deep breath and roared, “Order the Azure Dragon to rejoin us immediately! We’ll be heading to war.
