The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 18

Thump!

Thump!

…

Ashton, Trey, and Matthew, along with over a hundred of their men went down on their knees.

“It was all a misunderstanding. Just a misunderstanding…”

It was quite a spectacular scene to see over a hundred men going down on their knees, bending over their bodies and slamming their heads on the floor as they beg for forgiveness.

Zoey was so choked with fear that she almost fainted.

The turn of events could not be more theatrical than this.

How could so many thugs all turn into a bunch of crying babies all at once?

“Zoey, why don’t you get inside the villa and let them do their stuff?” Levi suggested.

The petrified Zoey gladly took his advice and dashed for the villa.

“Sir, please, I really have nothing to do with this. I’m just somebody who was hired by Mr. Garrison to act under his instructions…”

“Yeah, we’ve got nothing to do with this!”

…

Trey and his men were desperate to draw a line from Ashton by shifting all the blame to him.

Ashton was so contorted with fear that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Let them go!”

What came as a shock to Ashton, Trey and Matthew was when they saw it was Levi who gave the order.

His order prompted Azure Dragon to wave them away, “Get your ass out of here and don’t let me see you again!”

It was clear as day that it was not Azure Dragon, but Levi, who was calling the shots. Could it be that Levi…

It all pointed out to one scary truth they all dreaded to know.

Trey and his men tumbled and stumbled as they fled the scene at their quickest pace, fearing they could end up with a bullet in their heads.

“Please let me go, L-Levi, I’m innocent as well. It was Ashton who…” Matthew tried to dissociate himself from Ashton as well.

“Tell me, Azure Dragon, how do we punish a traitor?” Levi turned to Azure Dragon and smiled abruptly.

“All traitors would be slaughtered!” Azure Dragon gave a deafening roar.
