The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 14

Everyone looked at Levi in bewilderment. “What? Leave it to you? You just got out of prison. Do you have the money?”

“I… I’ll come up with something.”

Levi had a card with him, but he didn’t know how much was inside.

“Don’t force yourself and do anything that is out of line! We’ll just let it go if things don’t work out,” Zoey said, looking at Levi worryingly, afraid he would do something extreme.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it,” Levi replied, holding her hands.

The next day, Levi went out alone.

As soon as he arrived at the intersection, a Maybach came to a halt at the side.

Azure Dragon got down from the car and ushered Levi to get in.

“Any updates on the Garrison family? Is anyone coming to apologize?” Levi asked.

Azure Dragon shook his head. “Not one of them are repenting.”

A cold glint flashed across Levi’s eyes. “It’s time to show them a little something.”

Arriving at the bank, Levi withdrew five million cash in one go.

The staff at the bank looked at him, appalled, and was especially horrified to see the man in military uniform standing next to him.

That’s the King of War!

Hans, the general manager of North Hampton Bank’s head office, came to serve in person.

In the end, he and Hailey, a tall woman with a pleasant-looking face, helped to carry the briefcases of cash from the VIP passageway.

Hailey couldn’t help but steal a second glance at Levi, who seemed familiar to her.

“His identity is so intimidating, even our chief almost ran over here.”

After sending them off, Hans drew in a deep breath.

“Who was that, Mr. Lowery?” Hailey asked curiously. “Is the one next to him in a military uniform someone famous?”

“That person is a bona fide King of War! Having the King of War as his follower… Think about it,” Hans said lowly.

“Damn!” Hailey gasped in shock.

“So don’t mention about today and keep everything confidential.”

Hailey nodded. “Understood!”

“No matter who asks, just say it’s a loan, and forge a receipt or something.”

“Yes, sir!”

…

At night, when Levi returned home carrying five briefcases full of cash, Zoey and her parents were dumbfounded.

They counted them three times, and lo and behold, there were indeed five million.

“W-Where did you get so much money? Please don’t tell me it’s from the loan sharks.”

Zoey freaked out.

“What loan sharks! Don’t worry about it! Anyhow, I got the money, so use this to solve your urgent problem first,” Levi said.

“Yes, let’s solve this first,” Aaron concurred.

“But 2.8 million is enough! Why did you get five million?” Zoey asked in confusion.

“You’ll see when the time comes.”

…

Upon hearing the news that they were going to pay up, Henry came to collect the money himself.

“Damn, Aaron. That was fast,” Henry jeered. “You sure there’s 2.8 million? It must be hard on you. I’d thought you couldn’t afford to pay us back.”

Aaron glared at him. “That is none of your concern. Anyway, I’ve put together 2.8 million, and that settles our debt!”

“Who said it’s 2.8 million?” sneered Henry, changing the subject. “We need to take the many days of interest into account. Here’s the IOU. Including the interest, it should be about five million plus, but we’ll just charge you five million.”

“What? Five million? How is it five million? Even the loan sharks are not as demanding as you!”

Aaron and Zoey were thunderstruck.

“Dad lent it to us unconditionally back then,” Caitlyn said. “How can there be interest?”
