Zoey turned to look at her husband in anticipation. If he has made such a speedy recovery, perhaps he has also managed to achieve the God of War status?
The hope in her eyes dimmed in the next second when Levi said, “Sorry. I’m not the God of War yet.”
The rest burst out into sardonic laughter.
“You aren’t good enough then!” Cora raised her voice sharply. “Zoey and Evie can’t leave with you.”
“But I’m stronger than the God of War,” Levi declared.
His words drew more laughter from the crowd.
“Yeah, right,” someone snorted. “You lost to Winsor even before you suffered the injuries, and now you expect us to believe that you’ve somehow become stronger than him right after your recovery? That’s bullsh*t!”
Displeasure etched in every line of Cora’s face. “Is there anything else that you have to say for yourself?”
“There’s more, but I won’t be able to divulge.”
He was referring to his status as Crown King, a classified information of the highest kind. There was no way he would disclose to others, least of all to these people in front of him.
Cora’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Nothing else, I assume?”
“You can say that.”
“What makes you think you’re good enough for Zoey and Evie?” she spat in anger. “Do you take us for fools? How dare you disregard what’s demanded of you from the Great Family of Westford!”
Levi chuckled and glanced at Thierry. “Why don’t you ask these two whether I’m good enough?”
Heads swiveled to the person in question, who visibly swallowed before waving a hand at Levi. “All right, you’re free to leave with Zoey and Evie.”
“What?” Several people cried out in unison as a ripple of shock spread through the crowd at the unexpected response. Does this mean… that he has the stamp of approval from Thierry? How is this possible?
“Thierry, why did you permit him to leave?” Cora pressed with a perturbed expression. “He didn’t meet the requirement you’ve set!”
