The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 1021

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1021

From Jayden’s perspective, there was no way Levi would dare challenge the Garrison clan.

He thought Levi had no choice but to turn a blind eye to what they did.

For any injustice that he suffered, Levi could only accept it in silence.

However, Jayden didn’t expect Levi to attack him.

Bam!

Levi sent him flying with a devastating kick.

Jayden’s body slammed against the concrete wall before dropping to the ground. Blood splattered all over the wall from the impact.

After twitching for a brief moment, he lost consciousness.

“Levi, how dare you beat up Mr. Garrison’s subordinate?” Lyndsay bellowed.

“Are you crazy? By doing this to Mr. Yolander, you have insulted the Garrison clan. Do you have a death wish?” the others yelled at Levi.

They attempted to bring the powerful Garrison clan into the matter so that they could intimidate Levi.

“Humiliating the Garrison clan is precisely what I’m looking to do.”

Without saying another word, Levi slapped Lyndsay back and forth, causing everyone to fall silent.

“Levi, aren’t you afraid that the Garrison clan would exact revenge? Know your place. In the eyes of the Garrison family, you’re just a bastard,” Lyndsay yelled.

Slap!

All she got for a reply was another slap.

The slap was so forceful that a wound opened up, exposing her flesh. Consequently, her face began to look mutilated.

At that moment, Zoey called and asked Levi where he was.

After he ended the call, he sneered, “Count yourselves lucky that I let you live. However, all of you must give something up in exchange.”

“What?” Lyndsay and the others panicked.

“At least leave behind a hand or some fingers, or else death is what awaits you.”

“Do it yourselves.” Levi threw his knife to them.

After a momentary hesitation, Lyndsay picked up the blade and swung it hard at her own hand…

“Argh!”

She let out an agonizing scream, just like a pig who was being slaughtered.

Everyone else had no choice but to follow suit by mutilating themselves with the knife.

Excruciating screams reverberated through the room while the air was filled with the stench of blood.

“Levi, you will regret this! From today onwards, the Garrison clan will not rest until they have destroyed you. You are a dead man walking!” Lyndsay yelled.

“Hmm, but you won’t live long enough to see it. Make a public apology now!” Levi bellowed.

Finally, under Levi’s coercion, Lyndsay and the others apologized and revealed the truth on the internet.

After that, Jayden and Lyndsay were ostracized by the whole media industry to the extent that their reputations were utterly destroyed.

Going forward, they had to be careful wherever they went. In the event they were recognized, they would definitely be beaten up.

After Levi left, all of them were still crying in anguish. However, more than pain, they were all filled with hatred.

It was as if Levi had banished them from heaven and sent them straight to hell.

Their whole lives were ruined.

Not long after Levi left, Damien called them.

“What’s going on? Why did you apologize on the internet?” Damien demanded coldly.

“Mr. Garrison, you have to listen to us. It’s all Levi’s fault. He was the one who did this,” Jayden ranted in a choked voice.

Lyndsay related the matter to Damien and added fuel to the fire by exaggerating it.

“D*mn it, just you wait, Levi! I will personally deal with you. I will show the Garrison family and the whole world that I’m more powerful than a bastard like you. Beyond that, I’ll let Father know that his decision to abandon you was correct!”

Damien’s voice was frosty and carried with it a murderous intent.

“Excellent!” Lyndsay and the others were filled with tears of joy.

“As for you bunch of scum, it’s the end of you, so don’t force me to do it myself.”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1022

Meanwhile, Levi received news that Lyndsay and her companions disappeared after the apology. Sometime later, their bodies were found in a river.

Levi didn’t even need to guess who did it.

The Garrison clan was so ruthless that they would not allow anyone to escape.

“Very well, I will take them down one day.”

Levi’s eyes were filled with resolve.

After having her name cleared, Zoey returned to the company. She reshuffled the top management, and everything else went back to normal.

The only difference now was that everyone knew about the date of her wedding with Levi.

Both she and Levi were busy preparing for it.

In fact, many of her old classmates called to congratulate her, including those she met when she was studying overseas.

Coincidentally, Zoey needed bridesmaids. However, given her age, most of her friends were already married with kids.

So far, Iris was her only bridesmaid. Therefore, Zoey had to choose a few more from among the friends she got to know abroad.

As for the best men, Zoey let Levi decide for himself.

It was a difficult choice for Levi to make as he was spoilt for choice.

Smiling, he fell into silence while his thoughts drifted back to their wedding day six years ago.

His best man then was Morris…

Sadly, he was no longer around.

Levi let out a long sigh.

The other two best men were Mateo and Jason.

Mateo, Morris, and he were best buddies since they were in school.

However, Mateo was the least capable among them as he had a reckless demeanor.

Jason was both a mentor and a friend to Levi.

Since he was a few years older than Levi, he helped him out a lot.

Based on Phoenix’s investigations, Mateo and Jason tried their best to bail him out when he was sent to prison, but they didn’t succeed.

However, Jason managed to get Levi’s sentence reduced by two years from the original eight-year sentence.

After that, both of them disappeared, and no one knew where they went.

“I want them to be present at such an important event.”

Six years ago, he didn’t have many good friends. Those were the only three, but it was more than enough.

Levi immediately sent his men to look for both of them.

Soon, Phoenix had some updates on Jason.

She found out that he was a member of the illustrious Lowe family of Oakland City. He had spent a few years training in the Southern region.

When Levi was imprisoned, Jason returned home.

“Good, give me his contact.”

Filled with anticipation, Levi called Jason.

“Hello, who is this?” The voice on the opposite end of the line sounded surprised.

“Jason, it’s me. Levi Garrison!”

“What? Levi?” Jason’s tone was one of delight.

Levi laughed. “Jason, I didn’t expect you to be a member of one of Oakland City’s prominent families! At that time, I still thought you were from a poor family.”

“Oakland City… I…”

At the mention of Oakland City, Jason’s tone changed.

Recently, he had heard that Levi was the illegitimate son of the Garrison clan.

Furthermore, he was aware that they wanted to annihilate Levi, the bastard son.

Hence, he was worried that the Garrison clan would take action against the Lowe family if they found out about his relationship with Levi.

Especially since he heard that Damien himself wanted to deal with the matter personally.

Damien was known to be extremely ruthless.

Therefore, if he found out that Jason used to be Levi’s best friend, the Lowe family would be wiped out.

“Levi, what’s up?”

“Jason, I’m going to hold my wedding again and would like to invite you. You must attend!”

Jason hesitated for a moment. “Levi, I’m afraid I might not be able to make it…”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1023

Jason didn’t dare attend Levi’s wedding.

Recently, he was feeling anxious about his relationship with Levi as Damien was persecuting everyone who was connected to him.

Although Jason was based in Oakland City, he had been best friends with Levi for some time.

Hence, there was no way Damien was going to let him go.

Even hiding would not do him any good.

Therefore, attending Levi’s wedding was the last thing he dared to do as that would reveal his connection with Levi.

What if the Garrison clan comes to destroy the Lowe family?

All he could do was pray that the Garrison clan didn’t find out.

Consequently, he was unable to attend the wedding despite being best friends with Levi.

Considering the threat the Garrison clan posed to the survival of his family, he had no choice but to abandon his friendship with Levi.

The last thing he wanted was to see his family being annihilated.

“Why?” Levi was puzzled.

“Oh, Levi. I have long found out about your identity. You’re related to the Garrison clan of Oakland City! That’s why it’s fated that I’m unable to attend your wedding.”

“But I have always treated you as my best friend! We’re friends for life!”

“Nevertheless, I still can’t attend your wedding. If the Garrison clan finds out that we are connected, they will target my family. I just want my parents to live out their years in peace and prevent the annihilation of my family. Please understand my predicament. This is the end of our friendship. Perhaps we will have better luck in the next life.”

Jason had chosen his family over his best friend.

“Jason, so you are just afraid that the Garrison clan will take revenge on your family. Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, you don’t have to fear them. Just come to my wedding. You don’t have to be afraid of them at all. I’ll take care of everything. Whoever dares to trouble you will feel my wrath, including the Garrison clan.”

Levi quickly understood why Jason declined his invitation.

Why is Jason so afraid of Damien? With me around, even Tyrone can’t do anything, let alone Damien.

“I can’t, my friend. I just can’t bet my life on this. Recently, Damian has been keeping tabs on me. That ruthless man is also looking for you, so you have to be more careful and go into hiding. If he finds you, you’re dead meat!”

After offering his advice, Jason ended the call.

Levi felt depressed listening to the monotonous dial tone.

Since Jason was unwilling to accept his invitation, there was no point in forcing him.

He respected Jason’s decision. After all, choosing to protect his family was the right decision.

The Garrison clan? How could they frighten the Lowe family to this extent?

However, their fear was understandable as the Garrison clan was the Head of Erudia, the first among the ancient families.

No one dared to offend them.

Phoenix, who was beside Levi, informed him, “Boss, Damien has declared that anyone who has anything to do with you will be persecuted. He probably plans to destroy everyone related to you.”

“No wonder Jason was quaking in his boots. It’s all Damien’s fault.”

Levi’s eyes flashed with anger.

Damien is indeed relentless in his effort to destroy me, to the extent of hurting everyone connected to me. Damien, your ruthlessness will be the death of you!

Levi didn’t even think of the Garrison clan as a threat, let alone someone like Damien.

“Phoenix, get me Damien’s contact. I want to talk to him.”

In no time, Phoenix found it.

When the call got through, Levi heard Damien’s voice over the phone. “Hello, who is this?”

“It’s Levi Garrison!”

After Levi announced his identity, the line fell silent. All that could be heard was heavy breathing.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1024

After a long silence, the voice spoke, “Y-You dare contact me?”

Levi laughed. “Why not?”

Does he really think he’s some bigshot? D*mn it, even your grandfather doesn’t have the guts to talk to me like that.

“Hahaha… Never in my wildest dreams did I expect you to call me.”

Damien’s laughter was heard over the line.

“What is it? Are you trying to beg for mercy? Have you realized the folly of your actions? Are you finally aware that the Garrison clan can’t be challenged? I can accept your pleas, but you have to kneel before me! Hahaha…” Damien asked.

“Plead for mercy? You should be the one pleading,” Levi sneered.

“If not that, why are you even calling?” It was obvious from Damien’s tone that he was puzzled.

“I heard that you wanted to persecute everyone connected to me?” Levi asked.

“That’s right. Anyone related to you will be disposed of. I found out that Jason Lowe of Oakland City was one of your best friends. He will be the first to suffer my wrath. What do you think?” Damien let out a maniacal laugh.

“How dare you!” Levi bellowed.

“What is there to stop me? And yet you still want to invite him to your wedding? It’s never going to happen. With me around, no one will dare to attend your wedding,” Damien scoffed.

Levi’s grin widened. “Fine, you should sit tight and wait. He will definitely be at my wedding. Furthermore, if you dare to touch anyone related to me, I will definitely kill you. Mark my words!”

“Hahaha…”

Damien didn’t take Levi’s warning seriously at all.

“Is there anyone in this world who dares threaten me? I guess you are the first one in Erudia,” Damien sneered.

He was the prince of the Garrison clan of Oakland City, while his father was the heir to the foremost ancient family in Erudia.

Apart from that, his mother was from the second most powerful ancient family in Erudia—the Garcias.

Therefore, the blood that flowed in his veins was as noble as it could possibly be.

He was the result of the combination of genes from the first and second most powerful ancient families.

Ever since he was young, he was pampered and received a lot of attention. Whatever he wanted was given to him unconditionally.

Besides his prominent background, his strong capability was another reason he was so famous in Oakland City.

There was no one in this world who could threaten him as he represented the two strongest ancient families in Erudia.

Within Erudia, only he had such an illustrious background.

Therefore, no one dared to offend him.

“Levi, how dare a bastard like you challenge me? Ask yourself if you are even qualified to do so. What right do you have? My mother is the darling of the second most powerful ancient family in Erudia, and her blood is the noblest of them all. Only she deserves to marry Father and join the Garrison clan.”

He continued, “Your mother is a lowborn and doesn’t deserve to marry into the Garrison clan. In fact, she doesn’t even deserve to be Father’s mistress! Even when we compare capabilities, you are just the boss of Morris Group, and yet you’re acting with such impunity? I’m more powerful than you by a thousand times! I can destroy the Morris Group with a flick of my finger.”

“So how dare a bastard like you come and challenge me? I will prove on behalf of my father that abandoning you then was the right decision. Noble blood is always stronger than that of any lowborn. I am practically royalty, while you are just a nobody. You will always have to worship my existence!” Damien bellowed like a maniac.

“Fine, fine, I get it. Just show me what you got. I want to see for myself how much the Garrison clan’s noble blood is worth,” Levi replied with a laugh.

He was looking forward to seeing how capable Damien was after all that talk. In fact, he wanted to verify if Damien was really a thousand times more powerful than he was.

“Very well. Just you wait, Levi. You will be groveling at my feet soon enough!”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1025

After Levi ended the call, White Tiger’s expression turned grim. He requested, “Boss, let me head to Oakland City and kill that annoying ass.”

Levi looked at White Tiger intently.

In terms of strength, White Tiger would have no problem killing Damien in his home. In fact, he might even do so unscathed.

However, as it was a matter related to the Garrison clan, Levi felt it was more appropriate for him to defeat Damien personally so that he could prove himself to both Damien and the whole Garrison clan.

He wanted to show them that the ‘bastard’ was in fact a thousand times more powerful than those of noble blood.

Furthermore, he wanted them to regret their decision to abandon him.

He wanted to see Tyrone grovel on the floor in remorse.

In fact, the whole Garrison clan should be equally repentant.

They should learn that even ordinary people can create miracles.

“By the way, Damien will move against the Lowe family. He just used them to threaten me, so he’s definitely going to do it,” Levi remarked.

“What should we do then?” everyone asked.

“Phoenix, can you check if we have anyone near Oakland City?” Levi ordered.

Within these six years, Levi had trained up many elite military squads.

Despite their small numbers, every one of them was formidable and had impressive combat abilities.

“Boss, the Dragon Warriors are in Oakland City.”

Phoenix found the relevant squad in a short time.

“Alright, order the Dragon Warriors to protect the Lowe family from the shadows. Make sure they don’t make any mistakes,” Levi instructed.

After Phoenix gave the order, she reported, “Sir, we didn’t expect that among the Dragon Warriors, one of them is a member of the Garrison clan of Oakland City.”

Levi laughed when he heard it.

That soldier was likely the pride of the Garrison clan and yet was just one of Levi’s many subordinates.

At the Lowe residence in Oakland City, Erudia.

Jason was kneeling in the meeting hall while the elders of the Lowe family were admonishing him.

“Look at what you have done! Why did you make friends with a bastard!”

“Do you know you are the death of our family? Damien has ordered his men to come for us, and they are arriving anytime soon.”

“The Lowe family earned the right to be an ancient family through their achievements in the army. A few years ago, we even received the Paragon Seal. However, not only did you not continue the family’s legacy, but you also caused the family’s downfall.”

Everyone in the Lowe family lamented their impending fate.

The Paragon Seal was made to commemorate the victory of the God of War over the Eighteen-Nation Alliance. It was then awarded to all the military families that distinguished themself in battle.

The Lowe family received one, and it was the pride of the entire family.

“What’s the use of having a Paragon Seal when our family has someone like you? We are going to be wiped out anyway. Why did you make friends with a bastard like that?” everyone in the Lowe family cursed.

Jason was devastated by the angst he was getting.

The Lowe family was considered an obscure family by Oakland City’s standards.

Compared to the top ancient family, they were no different from insects.

Very soon, a convoy of cars stopped at the entrance to the Lowe residence.

An undeniably handsome man alighted, but he had a vicious expression on.

Behind him were hundreds of formidable fighters, and a few hundred more were in hiding just to ensure his security.

Other than that, every street nearby was filled with their convoys which could arrive in five minutes whenever they were needed.

Furthermore, there were tens of helicopters circling in the sky which could land in just a minute.

Only one man could mobilize such an impressive display of force—Damien Garrison.

However, he was there to annihilate the Lowe family.

He was the favorite son of the two most powerful ancient families in Erudia.

As no one wanted any harm to come to him, the security around him was impregnable, to the extent that there were men beside him whose sole purpose was to sacrifice their lives to save him at the crucial moment.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1026

Damien Garrison adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. The air was oozing with his natural-born aura of nobility.

In his world, there were only two types of people— the ones who were close to him and the lowly peasants.

Other than the Garrison family and the Garcia family, everyone else was equivalent to peasants in his eyes.

“Levi Garrison! Didn’t you say that you wanted to protect the Lowe family? So why would you ask Jason Lowe to attend your wedding! I’ll burn every single member of the Lowe family into ashes today! I’ll break the limbs of Jason Lowe! Let’s see if he will still be able to attend your wedding!”

Damien was a man of his word. He had said that he would start his massacre with Jason, and here he was.

Boom!

As Damien waved his hand leisurely, his men immediately pushed down the gate to the Lowe residence. Troops consisting of hundreds of soldiers promptly marched their way into the house in an orderly manner.

Upon seeing Damien’s army, the members of the Lowe family immediately fell to their knees. They didn’t dare oppose his wishes.

Jason’s father, Yosef Lowe, pleaded with Damien, “Mr. Garrison! Please… please give us a chance… My son was ignorant! Please forgive us!”

“Have mercy on us, Mr. Garrison! We’re willing to give you everything! As long as you spare our lives, all the assets of the Lowe family can be yours! Take all the money as well!”

The entire Lowe family pleaded in unison.

They were going all out in order to salvage their family.

“Haha! What makes you think that I care about a puny family like yours? Do you think I lack that bit of money that your family is worth? Are you looking down on me?” Damien scoffed.

The Lowes were terrified.

It was a fact that Damien had everything that he wanted.

There was literally nothing he was in need of!

“The only reason I am here today is to annihilate the entire Lowe Family! It’s your fault for having relations with that bastard Levi! I’ve said before that I would wipe out every single person who had anything to do with Levi Garrison!”

Damien flashed a twisted smile.
