The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 1031

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1031

Clang!

Following that, she grabbed a dinner knife and stabbed it right into the center of the table.

“Why do the two of you have so much bullsh*t coming out of your mouths? And who the hell are you calling a tomboy?”

Phoenix questioned them coldly.

Even her enemies couldn’t make her shed a single tear on the battlefield.

What made these ladies think that they could bully her?

Phoenix fiddled with the dinner knife.

The threat was clear. She could send the knife flying straight through the necks of Zara and Yvette at any second.

Zara and Yvette were frightened stiff.

They exchanged a helpless look and laughed weakly. “I mean, we think you’re really great too! We’re so happy to have you join us!”

They were powerless against Phoenix, so they chose to keep their mouths shut.

The two of them only had the guts to bully those weaker than them, after all.

The nicer Zoey was to them, the more they took advantage of her.

But when faced with violence like the kind Phoenix had just demonstrated, they would chicken out immediately.

Zoey valued her friendships greatly. Since she was the one who asked them to be her bridesmaids, she had no choice but to put up with their bullying.

In fact, Zoey had a domineering side to her too. If it were not for her tolerance, she would have sent them packing for home already.

“Well, anyway, we will need to find a new group of groomsmen! This batch won’t do!”

Seeing that they couldn’t boss Phoenix around, Zara immediately turned to target the remaining four men.

Yvette nodded in concurrence. “That’s right. These groomsmen are horrendous! Look at the four of them. Their fashion sense is outdated. Their complexions are too dark, and some of them are bulky like bulls! Oh, this is terrible! They’ll seem so out of place next to bridesmaids like us!”

It was probably because Azure Dragon and the other three guys were all in plain clothing, not to mention the standard and boring military buzz cut they all had.

The whole look made them seem trigger-ready and unapproachable.

Zara and Yvette definitely wouldn’t make do with them.

“Zoey, you’ve got to listen to us. Get a few international models. They don’t even have to do anything else besides standing there, but they’ll make your wedding look much more prestigious,” Yvette suggested.

“Exactly! Your wedding’s got to be the best. Zoey, take a good look at these groomsmen! How are you supposed to work with them?”

Zara scoffed in disgust.

Zoey laughed awkwardly. “I think they’re great. All of them are Levi’s best friends. He treats them like his brothers! It’s just within expectations for him to invite them to be his groomsmen!”

Zara and Yvette scowled. “No way! They can’t be the groomsmen! We refuse to accept them!”

“Their expressions aren’t even right! I seriously suspect that they’re up to something! They won’t be fit to stand next to us!”

Upon hearing their remarks, Azure Dragon and his men were furious.

These b*tches seriously need some disciplining.

They’ll shut up the moment we land a few slaps on them.

Too bad they are Zoey’s friends.

For that reason, they didn’t dare speak their mind, despite being furious.

All they could do was to swallow their anger and remain silent.

Iris sighed next to them. “Do us all a favor, and make do with them, will you? We’re just choosing the groomsmen, so don’t put too much thought into it!”

However, Zara scoffed and turned to Zoey. “Zoey, we’re fine with letting you choose the groomsmen, but you’ve got to choose some whom we’re comfortable with! If you insist on having them as the groomsmen, then the two of us will refuse to be your bridesmaids!”

Yvette nodded along. “Yeah! If you insist on choosing them, then you can’t have us! Find some other girls to be your bridesmaids! Hmph!”

Zoey quickly jumped into the conversation to mediate the situation. “Come on. Don’t be like this! Let’s all calm down and talk this through, alright?”

Zoey didn’t want anyone to feel uneasy and hoped that they could all come to a peaceful consensus.

Little did she know that such kindness would only encourage those two girls to try and take advantage of her.

“That won’t do! Zoey, you’ve got to make a decision! Either you choose to have them as the groomsmen, or we stay as the bridesmaids! It’s one or the other!”

Zara and Yvette insisted on having Zoey make a decision.

“I…”

Zoey was at a loss for what to do.

How am I supposed to decide?

“Great! Just f*ck off if you don’t want to be a bridesmaid! Who the hell cares about the two of you?”

At that moment, Levi, who was at his wits’ end, yelled at Zara and Yvette in rage.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1032

Levi’s sudden burst of anger shocked everyone into silence.

“I’ve been tolerating the two of you for a very long time now! I’ve shown you respect, but what about you? You’ve been nothing but overbearing and annoying! You’ve vividly portrayed to me how incessant b*tches would behave! Scram if you don’t want to be a bridesmaid! We couldn’t care less! Do you seriously think that we won’t be able to hold our wedding without you?” Levi yelled.

Zara and Yvette were stunned.

Zoey hadn’t said a word about their attitude, but Levi had gotten enraged before her.

It took a solid minute for the two of them to regain their bearings.

“What? Are you telling us to leave?”

The two of them stared at Levi unbelievably.

“Yes. Get lost if you don’t want to be a bridesmaid! Zoey has been treating the two of you as her friends, but what about you? How have you been treating her?”

“You’ve been rudely ordering her around, asking her to make new arrangements for your accommodation and your meals. That’s fine. We’re still able to tolerate that. But asking to choose the groomsmen? Excuse me. Is it you or Zoey who is getting married?”

“Have you ever given Zoey a shred of respect? Do you seriously take her as your friend? We’ve invited you over to be our bridesmaids, not VIPs whom we’re supposed to please!”

“What makes you think that you are the ones to decide how our wedding should be held? What more do you want? Do you want to change me, the freaking groom of the wedding, out as well?”

Levi attacked them with questions.

The two women were rendered speechless.

Zara and Yvette stood up from their seats and stared at Zoey. “You don’t want us to be your bridesmaids either, do you? You’ll choose them over us at the end of the day, won’t you?”

“Zoey, say something if you still treat us as your friends! You’ll know who to choose if you’ve ever considered us your real friends!”

Zara and Yvette stubbornly insisted that Zoey make a decision.

To their surprise, Zoey wore a cold expression as she spoke. “If the two of you were my real friends, you wouldn’t have asked me to choose! Since you’re not treating me sincerely as your friend, then there’s no point in me being courteous to you! Please leave!”

Zoey was fed up and finally gave them an answer.

The two girls looked at Zoey in disbelief as they never expected Zoey to make such a decision.

The only reason why they dared to act so presumptuously was that they thought Zoey was meek.

It never crossed their minds that Zoey changed so much in such a short period of time, especially in terms of her personality.

“Great. This is just great! How dare you reject us as your bridesmaids? You’ll regret this!” Zara raged.

“Yeah! That’s right! Without us, who will you ask to be your bridesmaids?”

Levi scoffed, “Any woman with two legs? That’ll be like shopping for groceries in the market!”

Levi already had candidates in mind, and one of them was Helena Engler.

Anyone would be better than these two clowns.

Besides, they wouldn’t even be here if it were not for Zoey, who still cared about their friendship.

“Hmph! Who do you think you are, Zoey Lopez? Are you even aware that your wedding is for a remarriage? Why are you making it so grand? You seriously have no shame, do you?”

“Yeah! Do you think you’re some celebrity? I would be so embarrassed to remarry! Much less hold a wedding for it! Do you not want your reputation anymore?”

They scoffed, tearing their façade altogether.

“This is freaking Erudia! People will laugh at you for making such a grandeur over a remarriage! This kind of culture would be a joke overseas!”

“Get lost!”

Zoey yelled in the midst of her fury.

“Do we have to leave just because you told us to? What if I refuse to leave? Huh? What can you do?”

“We’ll leave whenever we want to! Not just because you told us to!”

Zara and Yvette sneered at her.

“Throw them out if they refuse to cooperate.” Levi’s icy voice sounded.

“Great! Because I’ve been waiting all day to beat up these b*tches!”

Black Tortoise murmured in annoyance.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1033

Even Iris had the impulse to throw out those two women, let alone Azure Dragon and his men, who all had a bad temper.

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Don’t you dare touch us!”

Zara and Yvette threatened.

“Erudian men are really boorish! You’re all acting like barbarians! How rude! You don’t even have basic courtesy!”

“All of you should really take lessons from foreigners. Every one of them is so gentlemanly, unlike you! Barbaric! Repulsive!”

The two of them screeched at Black Tortoise and the other men.

Having spent many years abroad, they felt edified by the culture over there and were now putting on airs.

Not only did they scorn everything that had to do with Erudia, but they also made it their mission to compare Erudia with foreign countries in every possible way.

This was especially so with the case of people.

Needless to say, they felt that foreigners were better than Erudians.

And having gone through that whole ordeal a while ago, they only felt a stronger prejudice against Erudians.

“Look at these people! If I didn’t know this was Erudia, I would have thought that I had been transported back to the Stone Age! All of you are so barbaric!”

Levi shot them a chilling glare. “Throw them out!”

Upon receiving that order, Black Tortoise took the opportunity to vent his frustration. He grabbed the two screeching ladies, one in each hand, and dragged them toward the entrance.

“Let go of me!”

However, their frenzied struggling were to no avail.

Bam!

Black Tortoise mercilessly threw them out of the door as if he were disposing of garbage.

Zara and Yvette felt pain shot through their bodies while they stared at him with their mouths agape in shock.

They had been thrown out like beggars onto the street.

“Just you wait! You lowly Erudian peasants! Barbarians! I’ll expose all of your vulgar acts to the world!”

They continued screaming.

“This monstrous country makes me sick! We shouldn’t even be here! We want to leave this barbaric place right now!”

Their clamorous shrieks of resentment echoed through the street as they left with the promise that they would be back to take revenge.

Levi shot a look at Azure Dragon.

After Azure Dragon pulled a few strings, those two mad women were immediately deported out of the country.

They had literally been chased out of Erudia.

As they left, they still made sure to voice out their scolding. “Don’t you worry! We won’t even want to step into the borders of this country ever again! Barbarians! You’re all destined to live as peasants!”

It was not until they hopped off the plane onto foreign land did they truly let out a breath of relief.

“Oh, we’re finally here! I can smell the sweet scent of foreign air again! Look at how glamourous it is over here in a foreign land!”

Zara was nearly moaning in glee.

“My mood is a hundred times better now that we’ve left that barbaric place called Erudia! The air is so fresh over here!”

“Exactly! Look at all these familiar faces! Oh, I’m so happy right now! Erudians seriously make me sick!”

…

A whole string of nasty words could be heard while the two of them exchanged their complaints exasperatedly.

When they left the airport, they decided not to flag down a taxi.

Instead, they wanted to take a stroll back.

They felt that they needed to filter out the dirty Erudian air in their bodies with the fresh and clean air in their beloved foreign land.

In their opinion, Erudia was a petty country.

“I’ll never admit that I’m Erudian! It’s such a shame!”

Yvette decided resolutely.

“Yes, yes! We’re foreigners! Noble citizens! Erudia doesn’t deserve to have us!”

Zara concurred with her statement.

At that moment, a group of foreign men walked past them.

They looked fierce, with murderous intent clear in their eyes. Upon seeing the two coquettish ladies, their eyes lit up with a malicious glint.

They whipped out their daggers and quickly surrounded the two girls.

Ba dum!

Zara and Yvette panicked. Their hearts flipped as they surveyed the situation.

They had been too caught up in their complaint session and hadn’t bothered to pay close attention to their surroundings.

Although all they talked about was how good foreign countries were, they had encountered robbers when they first arrived in a foreign land.

In the years following their stay in the foreign country, they met with several cases of robbery. They weren’t spared, even when they were in the middle of a bustling city.

Hence, they didn’t dare to step out of their house at night.

Tonight, however, they seemed to have forgotten that.

“Hehe…”

It didn’t take long for the foreigners to encircle the women.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1034

The foreigners snickered as they sized Zara and Yvette up.

If they were lucky, they would get to rob and rape tonight.

The foreign gentlemen, as Zara had once called them, smacked their lips as they checked out their prey.

This would never have happened in Erudia. No matter how lowly they thought Erudia was, they definitely wouldn’t be robbed near the airport.

Neither would they need to worry about wandering in a major city at night.

This was the so-called greatness of foreign countries.

Foreigners were ‘noble,’ and the men were ‘gentlemanly.’

However, it clearly wasn’t the case at that moment.

“We’ll give you all our money…”

Zara fished out a wad of cash and stuffed it into the hands of the robbers.

“Hehe…”

The foreigners grabbed the money and threw Zara and Yvette onto their shoulders.

The two girls barely stood a chance against the group of burly men.

Soon, they were brought to a dark and secluded place.

Rip!

“Ah…”

The sound of clothing being ripped echoed amidst the silence of the night.

“Let go of us! You imbeciles! Go to hell!”

“You disgusting foreigners! You’re beasts! Barbarians!”

“You’re heinous! You’re nothing compared to Erudian men!”

“Erudia is so much better! I want to go back to Erudia! Foreigners are nothing but trash…”

Zara and Yvette screeched desperately at the top of their lungs.

Their cries, however, were soon drowned out by the nasty laughter of the foreign ‘gentlemen.’

It was ironic how those two women had nothing but praise for foreign countries and their citizens a while ago.

Only in times of grave danger would people ever think about the motherland that they had been raised in…

At other times, Erudia was merely trash to them.

When they were overseas, they refused to admit their Erudian citizenship.

They would say that they were from Erudia’s neighboring islands and pose as the islands’ citizens, not even daring to speak a word of Erudian.

To them, it was humiliating to admit that they were Erudians.

Meanwhile, Zara and Yvette’s absence barely had any impact on Levi and Zoey.

It didn’t take long for them to find another two bridesmaids as replacements, and they were Helena and the financial director, Elena.

Both of them were much better than Zara and Yvette.

As for the groomsmen whom Zara and Yvette despised, they were the Five Great Wars Regiment, the direct subordinates of the God of War!

They were practically undefeatable on the battlefield!

Once their identities were made known, not only would Erudia be in awe, but the whole world would also tremor in fear.

It was preposterous that Zara and Yvette deemed them unworthy of standing next to both of them.

As their wedding date drew closer, Zoey and Levi sent out the last of their invitations.

Apart from Ezra and the other eight Commanders-In-Chief of the Nine Warzones, Levi also invited his close friends.

But the person whom Levi was truly excited to see was his teacher, Angus Belford.

After enlisting in the army, it was Angus who saw the great potential in Levi. He was the one who had trained him and ensured his preferments.

Zoey also invited a huge group of friends.

She thought that Levi’s guests were all ordinary people.

Little did she know that every single person on his guest list was a big shot.
