The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 1001

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1001

Levi wouldn’t allow anyone to question anything he said.

Nevertheless, Yale, Jayden, and everyone else present was startled.

Lyndsay immediately asked, “Levi, who are you to bar us from entering?”

How dare he bar us from entering even when we’re not stopping him from going in?

Jayden then said, “Mr. Freeman, you’re the person in charge of the project. Can he actually bar us from entering? I mean, shouldn’t you be in charge of everything here?”

Yale glanced at Levi before he replied, “You’re right. Mr. Garrison, I think there’s been some misunderstanding. Since you’re only a tender, I’m afraid you can’t bar anyone from entering.”

“What I say goes! Your word means nothing against mine!”

Levi entered the hall as soon as he finished speaking.

Unperturbed by his outburst, Jayden, Lyndsay, and the rest began to head into the hall but were all stopped by Kirin.

“All of you are not allowed to enter!”

“What if we want to go in anyway?” Jayden retorted.

“Restrain them!”

Once Kirin gave the command, a few personnel came up and restrained them.

As such, the whole lot did not have the chance to participate in the tender event.

It wasn’t difficult to guess the outcome – Morris Group had obtained the project.

After all that had happened, the people in the hall dared not to offer a price.

Jayden and Lyndsay were exasperated as they couldn’t do anything until the tender event ended.

Levi Garrison is even more overbearing than us!

We only obstruct other tenders to buy ourselves time, at the very most.

However, that man dared to bar us from participating in the tender event directly!

“Levi Garrison, just you wait! We will never let off for this!” Jayden yelled and glared at Levi resentfully.

“Well, here I am, waiting.” Levi smiled coldly.

Meanwhile, Zoey had finished settling all of her matters, and Iris had been released.

“We’re not ruthless enough compared to them!” Zoey sighed.

She was no match for those from Pinnacle Group, who would resort to every possible means to achieve their missions, no matter any lives were at stake.

She had lost the project – her plan had failed.

Without achieving success, the Lopez and Black families will continue to belittle me. In that case, will they still stop me from marrying Levi? It’s not enough to only depend on having a baby…

Zoey heaved a long sigh.

At that moment, Iris came to her office and handed a document to her.

After flipping through the document, Zoey was puzzled. “Oh? We obtained the project?”

“Iris, didn’t someone stop you from entering the tender event? How could you have obtained the project?” Zoey couldn’t figure out what had happened.

“They stopped me, including the men whom I secretly sent to the event. However, the boss successfully obtained the project by himself this time!” Iris explained.

“What? We got this project because of the boss again?”

“That’s right.”

“Who even is the boss? Why did he go to great lengths to help me?”

Zoey was flummoxed.

“Why are you bothered by it? After all, we got our hands on the project in the end.”

Iris rolled her eyes at her best friend. It’s because you’re the boss’s wife!

After recollecting herself, Zoey immediately went looking for Levi.

Once the woman owned the project, her wealth would instantly skyrocket.

As such, she had amassed enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the Lopez and Black families.

Grandma can’t control me anymore when I’m seen as successful!

No one can stop the two of us once I get pregnant!

Levi’s time hasn’t come yet, but it doesn’t matter because I am successful now.

“Zoey, why do you look so emotional?” Levi asked.

“Can we decide on our wedding date? I’ve checked the calendar, and there will be an auspicious day one and a half months later. Do you think we should get married then?” she asked, wanting to get his opinion on things.

“Alright. Let’s set a date. I will give you a wedding of which the world has never seen before.”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1002

Exactly a month later, the bridal chamber that Levi designed was completed.

It’s time to give Zoey a perfect wedding.

To him, their wedding will be perfect as long as his mother, sister, and brother attended it.

He vowed to tell Zoey the truth about who he really was on their wedding day.

I want to tell her about the truth by myself. I want her to know that her husband is Erudia’s God of War!

Then, I will hold her hand and overlook the world like an emperor with his empress!

“We should also make early preparation to get pregnant before our wedding!” Zoey added bashfully.

“Certainly. In that case, we shouldn’t go home today!” Levi put on a sly smile.

“Sounds good.”

Levi and Zoey didn’t return to their homes that night.

After a night of intimacy, both of them grew to cherish each other more.

The two of them were finally together after going through ups and down for ten years.

From that moment onwards, no one would be able to separate them from each other.

They would eventually be able to build a family of three.

When Iris saw Zoey the next day, the former stated curiously, “Zoey, something seems different about you…”

“Oh? What’s different about me?” the other woman asked while her face turned red.

“I can’t pinpoint it, but you seem to be more feminine now,” Iris explained.

That remark made Zoey lower her head and blush even more.

“Since you and Levi have decided on the wedding date, I’m sure you both plan to have children soon, right?”

Zoey didn’t respond to her question. She merely glanced at her friend and chided, “Iris, you should get a boyfriend as soon as possible. Aren’t you fond of the boss? Just court him already!”

“What?”

Iris was taken aback upon hearing that.

Well, I do hope to court the boss, but he’s Levi! How could I possibly do that to you?

“The boss isn’t single.” Iris flashed her a smile.

“Oh? Wasn’t he single some time ago? How did he get a girlfriend so soon?” Zoey asked, surprised.

“Yes, everything happened very fast. Speaking of which, aren’t you going to marry Levi soon?”

The good news spread like wildfire. Soon, everyone in the company had heard the news of Zoey and Levi deciding on their wedding date.

Zoey’s curiosity was piqued when she saw how thrilled all her workers were.

Why does everyone seem so excited about it? Is Levi really a respected figure in the company?

After all, Zoey used to hear complaints about Levi all the time.

It’s strange…

Miles way, the Black family caught wind of the news.

“What?”

“So, the wedding date of Zoey and Levi Garrison has been fixed? As her grandpa and grandma, why weren’t we informed about this?”

Meredith and Robert were shocked upon hearing about the wedding.

“We had no idea about it either…” the rest murmured.

Robert immediately made a phone call to Harry to ask about it.

However, the latter also wasn’t aware of it.

When Meredith contacted Caitlyn and Aaron, the answers she received were the same.

Both of them were clueless about it too.

“How could outsiders know about it when even her parents aren’t aware of the wedding date yet? Zoey has gone overboard!” Meredith grew infuriated with them all.

“Come back as soon as possible. Your daughter is going to marry someone soon,” she yelled into the phone.

Not long after that, Aaron, Caitlyn, and Harry gathered at the Black family’s manor.

Everyone seemed to be confused about what was going on.

Has the marriage between Zoey and Levi Garrison really been fixed?

The news spread widely even before the family was informed…

“Look at how your daughter behaves! You two weren’t even aware of her marriage! Humph! She doesn’t respect you as parents, nor does she treat us as her elders! I mean, is she planning to disregard us once and for all?” Meredith scolded.

“What an unfilial daughter she is!”

Aaron heaved a sigh helplessly. At this moment, he and Caitlyn were greatly embarrassed.

“How do you tolerate her? I can’t take it anymore!”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1003

Meredith, Robert, and Harry were all exasperated.

Meanwhile, Zoey’s parents were indignant at the sudden news.

Immediately, they called Zoey and asked, “We heard you have decided on your wedding date. Is that true?”

To which their daughter replied composedly, “It’s true, I’ve discussed it with Levi. I was planning to give you a call to inform you tonight.”

“Why have you not discussed your wedding date with us? Do you even treat us as your parents? Do you even respect the elders in the Lopez and Black families?”

“Are you planning to ditch your mother? Oh right, I guess Levi’s mother is your new mother now. In that case, who am I to you?” Caitlyn scowled, almost smashing the phone out of anger.

Zoey hurriedly explained, “Mom, I’m already an adult. I can make my own decisions now. I’ll discuss certain things with you all when it’s necessary. However, I can make most decisions on my own.”

“Since marriage is a life-changing event, how can you decide on it all by yourself? Besides, all of us don’t agree to your marriage to Levi Garrison again!”

Caitlyn continued on without listening to her daughter, “Also, why don’t you listen to your grandpa and grandma? They will gladly arrange your marriage for you!”

“Mom, why should all of you decide everything for me? I understand that you’re afraid of Grandpa and Grandma, but they hold no authority over me. Besides, I won’t be manipulated by anyone else because I have enough bargaining chips now,” Zoey said.

“Come home as soon as possible to discuss with us! If you don’t home, Grandpa and Grandma will look for you by themselves!”

As such, Zoey and Levi had no choice but to go to the Black family’s manor.

The atmosphere was rather tense in the meeting room; everyone had on grim expressions.

“Kneel!” Meredith commanded coldly.

“Grandma, what do you mean by that?” Zoey asked.

“I’m asking you to kneel before me! Do you not understand? Both of you have to kneel as well!” Meredith fixated her gaze on Levi when she yelled.

“Why should we kneel? You must at least give us a reason,” Levi said.

“Aren’t you aware of your wrongdoing? How could you decide on your marriage all on your own? You even decided on the wedding date without consulting all of us!”

Zoey’s grandmother trembled violently with anger.

The next moment, Zoey explained smilingly, “I can make my own decisions. I don’t have to trouble all of you about this trivial matter. On that day, all of you only have to attend the wedding and enjoy the ceremony,”

“Bullshit! Did we agree on such an arrangement?” Meredith couldn’t help but blurt a curse.

“Grandma, I have to get it straight – Any decisions about my wedding have to be decided by me!” Zoey immediately retorted.

“That will happen only when you’re competent enough!” Meredith sneered.

“I am competent enough, and the Lopez and Black families can’t tell me what to do anymore. Here, take a look by yourselves!”

As soon as she finished, Zoey threw a document on the table in front of Meredith.

All her family members were taken aback after they took the document and read through it.

“What? Zoey, are you really that wealthy now?” Meredith asked; the shock she felt was evident in her voice.

“Yes. Under such circumstances, can I make my own decisions?” Zoey questioned.

Meanwhile, everyone in the room was startled and lost in thought.

“I have something else to tell you all. I’m bearing Levi a child now. Therefore, all of you can never separate us!”

“What?”

The woman nearly threw everyone into a fit as the news had come like a bolt from the blue.

After ten minutes, her parents and grandparents eventually recollected themselves and reluctantly accepted the fact.

“My god! What have we done?” Aaron heaved a sigh.

Meanwhile, Meredith glanced at Levi and said, “Your wedding has to be a grand ceremony. I will agree to it on one condition… His mother cannot attend the wedding! I can’t allow her presence to dishonor the Black family!”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1004

Immediately, the rest added, “That’s right. The grand wedding will certainly become a popular topic among the people in the entire South. Won’t we be embarrassed if his mother attends the wedding?”

“Exactly. We mean no offense, but both the Lopez and Black families have to maintain our reputations!” Harry agreed.

“Look, Zoey. Everyone agrees to the condition I’ve set!” A triumphant smile appeared on Meredith’s face.

Aaron suddenly interjected, “As your father, I have to list down some conditions too!”

“What?”

Everyone looked at Aaron in bewilderment.

“Your marriage is unavoidable because you two have already become husband and wife. So, I will agree to it. However, Levi has to marry into our family!” the man commanded coldly.

“Marry into your family?” Levi was stunned by his demand.

How can I, the God of War, marry into someone’s family?

At the same time, Zoey was startled too.

Why should he marry into our family?

“That’s right. You have to marry into our family if you want to marry my daughter. It’s not easy to marry into our family, though. There are several conditions you will have to obey!”

“Firstly, after marrying into our family, you will have to change your last name to Lopez. From now on, you’re not Levi Garrison but Levi Lopez! I don’t want you to mention your original name under all circumstances!”

“Secondly, after marrying into the Lopez family, you must follow all rules set by the Lopez family without protest. I don’t want to hear a “No” from you, not even once!”

“Thirdly, your daily routine will be arranged by the Lopez family. You’ll have to report who you meet with every day and how much money you’ve spent!”

“You’ll also have no right to say a word on important occasions, such as our family meetings. You can only speak when we allow you to do so!”

Aaron spelled out ten extremely harsh rules in total.

Harry and Meredith backed him up almost instantly. “Sounds great! Aaron has come up with many good ideas. You’re to marry into our family. Also, you will have to follow all the rules from that day onward. Otherwise, you can never marry Zoey!”

The main reason they had listed those rules was because Zoey had so much wealth now. They believed that Levi should not be allowed to marry her so effortlessly.

Since they couldn’t stop the marriage, they looked for other ways to make up for their “loss.”

Their thought process was as simple as Aaron’s – Zoey is wealthy, so they feel embarrassed and dishonored to see Levi marrying her.

Hence, they hoped to reduce the negative impact on Zoey and the Lopez and Black families by having Levi marry into the family.

“Furthermore, there has to be a ceremony when he marries into our family! He must first kneel and bow before the head of the Lopez family in our family’s manor. Then, he must kneel and bow again before our ancestors in the ancestral shrine!” Harry added.

“Yes! There has to be a grand ceremony since Levi is marrying into the Lopez family. The Black family agrees to this suggestion!” Meredith and Robert fully supported the idea in unison.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn said sobbingly, “My precious daughter has to marry a poor lad in the end! I really can’t accept it!”

“Caitlyn, we can’t do much about it. Now, what we can do is to make sure that he marries into our family!”

All of them let out a heavy sigh.

Zoey had thought that she could control everything; she didn’t expect things to turn out in such a way!

Are they treating me like a tool? What’s so wrong with Levi？ Why are they doing this to him?

Levi might not be a prominent figure like he was before, but he’s sincere about me and is willing to sacrifice his life for me. That’s what I love about him!

“Sweetie, don’t utter a word! If you respect me as your father, Levi must marry into our family! Otherwise, the wedding will be called off!”

The man then glanced at Levi and continued, “So, Levi, are you willing to marry into the Lopez family?”

Everyone present shifted their gaze toward the man in question.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1005

Zoey wished that Levi would pretend to agree to the conditions to avoid any trouble.

She was ready to deal with the problems afterward once he pretended to agree.

She made a promise to herself – she would not make Levi embarrassed.

As such, the man definitely wouldn’t have to obey the rules.

“Of course I don’t agree! It’s still acceptable if you only want me to marry into your family. But to make me change my last name? No way! I’m Levi Garrison for the rest of my life, and no one can ever change my last name!” Levi retorted coldly.

My mother gave me this name. No one can ever change it!

Everyone was startled at how Levi sounded so resolute.

“In that case, are you also saying you don’t want to marry Zoey?” Meredith asked immediately.

“I certainly want to marry her!” Levi replied smilingly.

“Marry into our family if you want to marry her then. Otherwise, the marriage is out of the question!” Aaron firmly stated.

“Let me get this straight. Firstly, I’m going to marry Zoey. Secondly, I won’t change my last name nor marry into your family. Thirdly, my mother must attend our wedding.”

Levi spelled out his thoughts resolutely – he didn’t allow anyone to question him.

All the members of the Lopez and Black families froze for a moment.

How dare he talk to us in such a manner?

“Levi Garrison, do you think you have the right to speak here? Are you aware of who you are? Zoey is worth about a hundred billion. Do you think you really deserve her?” Zoey’s father yelled furiously.

They felt that the marriage was totally unfair. After all, Zoey was way out of Levi’s league in terms of social status and wealth.

In other words, the two were from two different worlds and not meant to be together.

The Lopez and Black family had felt that it was a huge loss to let Zoey marry Levi from the very beginning.

To them, their relationship was practically identical to the one in the movie Beauty and the Beast.

Unexpectedly, Levi put on a smile and asserted, “To tell you the truth, I do deserve her!”

At this moment, his imposing look was engraved on Zoey’s heart. It was as if the high-spirited Levi Garrison whom she met six years ago had finally returned.

Zoey knew that everything the man was about to say was right.

Nonetheless, she foresaw Levi explaining that they were a good match in terms of social status.

After all, as Tyrone Garrison’s son and the Jones family’s grandson, he certainly deserved her hand in marriage.

However, deep in her heart, she also hoped that Levi could be as successful as her, making them a perfect match.

She wished Levi to regain his success and be as powerful as he was six years ago.

“You deserve her? Hahaha…”

The next moment, everyone in the room burst out in laughter.

How could you possibly deserve her? Zoey is way more successful than you! You don’t even deserve to be a maid who takes care of her shoes!

“In which aspect do you deserve to be with her? Are you kidding us? Levi, do you have the slightest idea about your own status?”

Amused, Logan Zachs stared at Levi like an idiot.

Much to everyone’s surprise, the latter only chortled in response.

Levi was the one-and-only God of War, who commanded the army of Erudia like a monarch.

Putting that identity aside, as the boss of Morris Group, he still deserved to be with her.

Moreover, apart from Zoey’s own effort, she was only successful because Levi had helped her on many occasions.

It could be said that Zoey had only come this far because of the help Levi gave to her!

In that case, why don’t I deserve to be with her?

“Rest assured that I will reveal my true identity to Zoey during the wedding! On that day, all of you will keep your mouths shut once you are aware of my identity,” Levi retorted.

He began imagining their change of attitude once they knew who he really was as he spoke.

“Hahaha! Your true identity? Are you kidding me? Do you think we don’t know who you are?”

Everyone burst into mocking laughter.
