The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 221

The Return of God of War Chapter 221

Zoey and Iris were petrified. They were slightly convinced by Levi’s statement at that moment. This is the only logical explanation. Firstly, they chased all the other patrons away upon our arrival, then they served all their finest dishes to us for free, not to forget, the manager of this restaurant actually cleaned Levi’s shoes for him!

…

Iris’s phone rang all of a sudden. Her lips curved upward after she looked at the screen. I asked a friend to investigate this restaurant’s information after sensing the odd atmosphere. And I’ve received the reply now. Leo Rogers is the single owner of Royale Club Restaurant.

“Hahaha… How dare you tell us this restaurant belongs to you, Levi Garrison?” Iris questioned him.

“That’s right. Is there a problem?” Levi admitted magnanimously.

Iris glowered at him and handed her phone to Zoey.

All the colors drained from Zoey’s face after reading the message. We were both astounded by Levi’s statement earlier. We really thought he’s the owner of this restaurant.

Zoey smiled. “Please don’t mind him, Iris. Levi likes to joke around.”

Iris sneered. “I realized that earlier. He’s full of big-talks. Can you show us your business license, Mr. Palmer?”

Iris was a meticulous person. She wanted to expose Levi’s lie with evidence.

Alger had no other choice but to show her the business license.

Iris slammed the business license in front of Levi. “Look intently at this. Do you see who’s the owner of this restaurant? This place belongs to Leo Rogers! Do you see your name anywhere on this license?”

Alger retorted internally. He could have the entire Rogers family with a single word.

Iris chided at Levi’s silence. “Please think before you speak in the future, especially when you’re in public spaces. Please do not bring shame to Zoey’s good name!”

Zoey was still puzzled by everything that had happened. She whispered at her best friend. “What’s going on, Iris? Why are we receiving this kind of ultra-luxurious treatment?”

Iris frowned. “The only explanation I can think of is because of my status as Morris Group’s vice-president. Most people already know that Mr. Atkinson purchased Levi Group and Garrison Group from the Rogers family. I suppose the Rogers family is treating Mr. Atkinson like a VVIP now. So it is logical for me, his vice-president, to receive similar treatments too.”

Zoey was amazed. “Mr. Atkinson is so impressive! But I guess this is not a surprise. Someone who have the capabilities to deal with the Rogers family must be a distinguished man.”

Iris smirked. “Let me tell you a secret, Zoey. Neil Atkinson is actually just an employee.”

Zoey was taken aback. She asked in disbelief. “Are you telling me there’s someone else who’s in control of Morris Group?”

Iris nodded. “That’s right. I only knew about this after Neil Atkinson informed me that it was actually the real owner of Morris Group who interviewed me virtually. He’s indeed a formidable man. He outshines all the other exceptional men I’ve met in my field in terms of his thought process and his vision of the company’s prospects. It is not an exaggeration to say that I’m his fan now!”

Admiration glinted in Iris’s eyes as she described Levi’s abilities. She was truly captivated by Levi’s competency that day.

Levi, who was enjoying his lobsters at the side, smiled. I did not expect Iris Anabelle to become my fan now.

“Really? Then I suppose he’s someone that’s old with a lot of experiences?” Zoey asked curiously.

“That’s not it. Mr. Atkinson told me he’s a young man, about the same age as your Levi Garrison.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 222

Iris looked at Levi and lamented. “They are about the same age, but why are there such a big difference between them?”

Zoey defended Levi “Levi is still a capable person. You should give him a few chances to prove himself.”

Iris turned her head to the other side, not wanting to look at him anymore. “Morris Group is hiring at the moment, but he’s clearly not a good fit. He’s only suitable for positions such as cleaners and security guards.”

Iris was implying Levi’s status to be equivalent to trash.

Zoey smiled. “I suppose you’re eager to meet with this mysterious boss, Iris?”

Iris responded with heightened anticipation. “Mr. Atkinson told me I would meet with him soon. I can guarantee he is an influential figure in North Hampton. I am so lucky to be able to work with him!” After that, Iris shifted the topic of conversation. “Zoey, I really recommend you to file a divorce with Levi as soon as possible. You are progressing so well now in your career. In contrast, Levi is worsening by the day. With the way things are moving, Levi will propose a divorce sooner or later. So you might as well do it now. I can introduce better candidates to you. All of these men are elites in their respective fields, and are more accomplished than Levi ever was or will be.”

Zoey rejected with a smile. “I know you have my best interest in your heart, Iris. But I will only be with Levi for the rest of my life.”

Iris sighed. She knew how stubborn Zoey could be. Perhaps I should target Levi instead. I will force him to leave Zoey.

Iris ditched Levi and sent Zoey back to the house after dinner.

Soon after the ladies left, a group of people surrounded Levi.

Leo Rogers and his men had arrived. “Should I send you back in person, Mr. Garrison?” Leo asked.

“That’s not needed. I will go back on my own.”

Levi lit a cigarette and disappeared into the night.

He decided to return to the house on foot because he wanted to contemplate his strategy to deal with the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce. This Chamber of Commerce is a long-standing organization in North Hampton, after all. This organization’s downfall will affect the economic growth of North Hampton, as well as other sectors. A lot of people will become jobless by that time… That is not an outcome I desire. I cannot manipulate North Hampton’s development to fulfil my selfish wishes. The best way to handle this situation is to first expand Morris Group to the extent of being able to replace the Chamber of Commerce’s position. Then I can corner them with fewer concerns.

At that moment, a Maybach that cost over ten million was parked beside the road, with its turn signal flashing.

Something bad had happened evidently.

A girl’s cry for help was heard, but her words were not distinguishable as she mumbled in a panic-stricken manner.

Upon arriving at the scene, Levi saw an aged man suffering from cardiac arrest in the backseat. He deduced that man to be a chronic heart disease patient judging from the medications next to him. His condition is severe.

“I can save your grandfather. Move aside!” Levi said.

The girl did as Levi said. She moved aside to let Levi help with her grandfather’s condition.

Levi has the necessary skills befitting that of a professional doctor. He was involved in medical-related business six years ago and had polished his skills on the battlefield. It was a common thing for him to operate on the injured soldiers in the warzone. So he had the confidence to save that aged man.

“What are you doing? Stop immediately!” Someone shouted angrily.

Levi turned around and saw over a hundred men standing behind him.

They were the aged man’s bodyguards.

The bodyguards were about to seize Levi because they thought he was harming the aged man.

“I am rescuing him. Move aside!” Levi ordered harshly.

The bodyguards’ leader warned Levi. “We have a professional medical team. You are not needed here. So you better stop what you’re doing!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 223

“Haha, you call yourselves bodyguard with those slow movements? These medications will not work on him anymore now that he’s ten minutes into cardiac arrest. In a few more minutes time, he’ll be gone forever.” Levi explained with a smile.

The bodyguards’ faces fell after listening to Levi. There are eight more minutes before the medical team is here by taking the helicopter.

The girl grasped the severity of the situation. “That’s right! The medication is no longer effective. Grandfather requires immediate medical attention!”

Levi added. “He’s experiencing a cardiac arrest. Do as you wish and wait all you want then!”

The girl begged Levi. “Please save my grandfather, mister!”

“Alright. Step aside. Let me try and help him!” Levi agreed because it was a life and death situation.

The bodyguards could only stand and watch.

Levi had no other choice but to use his hands to perform the resuscitation procedures since there wasn’t any medical equipment around. He pressed the aged man’s chest repeatedly…

A helicopter landed three minutes later.

A dozen doctors hurried over with a team of helpers behind.

The staggering number reflected the old man’s status.

The doctor leading the group of people mumbled to himself remorsefully. “We’re late! It’s over ten minutes now. His heart must’ve stopped beating.”

The other doctors following him were nervous as well. If he’s gone, we will follow him to his grave too! He’s too important. That man is the wealthiest person in North Hampton, Mr. Winston Gonzales!

The doctors shoved aside the bodyguards who were rooted to their spots dumbfoundedly and arrived at the side of the Maybach.

“You’re finally here, Doctor Woodward! Grandfather entered into a cardiac arrest state for a long while now!” The girl scolded.

Doctor Woodward grumbled internally. Shit!

But when he saw Levi performing the resuscitation procedure, he was stunned. “What’s this? What is he doing?”

The group of doctors were horrified.

“He said he could save Mr. Gonzales.” The leader of the bodyguards said.

“What? That’s nonsense! This is ridiculous!” Doctor Woodward shouted. This stranger’s interference took away every last bit of hope we have to rescue Mr. Gonzales! He must be dead now. That means we’re all goners too.

Doctor Woodward chided. “Were you all born yesterday? Why didn’t you stop him?”

The bodyguards lowered their heads in silence.

Cough, cough…

At that moment, they heard a series of coughing amidst the commotion.

Everyone bore witness at the miraculous scene as Winston Gonzales, who was experiencing cardiac arrest mere moments ago, straightened himself in a seated position.

Levi got out of the car and fed Winston the medications.

The medications were now effective as his heart was now pumping.

Winston Gonzales was no longer coughing or experiencing shortness of breath after taking the medications.

Everyone was astounded by that amazing sight.

Levi glanced at the doctors and said. “You can now bring him to the hospital to monitor his condition. There shouldn’t be any problem now.”

Winston grasped Levi’s hands and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you so much, young man. I would’ve died today if it wasn’t for you.”

Levi beamed at him. “You don’t have to thank me. You should go to the hospital now to review your condition thoroughly.”

A few doctors came to bring Winston Gonzales away on a stretcher.

He reminded his granddaughter before entering the helicopter. “Bring that young man to our house, Una. He is our family’s savior.”

Linden Woodward wanted to talk to Levi as well. He was curious about the method Levi used to resurrect Winston.

But when Una and Linden turned around, Levi was already gone.

The Return of God of War Chapter 224

Winston was pleased when he was informed of the turn of events. “That young man has a commendable attitude. He must know I am rich after noticing all the luxurious cars and helicopters, yet he still left silently.

I must reward him handsomely. I can turn him into a billionaire if he comes from a poor family. If he is already a successful person, then I will bring him to greater heights in life. He will become a significant figure in North Hampton!”

Everyone was impressed by Winston’s announcement. He was the wealthiest person, after all. He was a god-like being, in everyone’s opinion. He was someone who can alter another person’s fate effortlessly. His connections with all the influential forces in North Hampton surpassed even the Chamber of Commerce.

“Utilize all possible means to look for that young man. I want to know his identity by tomorrow.” Winston ordered.

That night, over ten thousand men were tracking down Levi’s whereabouts.

Una was filled with regrets. “I forgot how he looks like because I was overwhelmed by fear at that time.”

Zoey and Iris were discussing their future plans when Levi arrived home.

Iris said to him coldly as soon as he walked through the door. “I will move into my new house tomorrow. I hope you can come help me. Do not worry because I will pay you.”

Zoey laughed awkwardly. “What are you talking about, Iris. Levi will help you if he’s free. There’s no need to pay him.”

Iris snorted. She thought to herself. Well, your husband already took my money earlier in the day!

The next day, Iris went to work early in the morning.

She left Levi to handle everything about her moving in.

Levi had no other choice but to play along with Iris’s request because of Zoey.

Iris’s house was spacious. She purchased brand new furniture for her home. So the movers sent a few lorries of items to her house.

They gave Levi a set of uniform as well.

Levi participated in the movers’ rank after he changed into the uniform.

He carried the electrical appliances into the house under the blazing sun.

At that moment, an expensive Ferrari drove into Bayview Garden and came to a halt in front of Iris’s house.

A girl dressed in luxurious clothing got out of the car. She revealed her beautiful facial features after removing her sunglasses.

Another woman dressed in a black professional suit got out of the passenger seat with a briefcase in her hand.

Levi had met with the girl last night. She was the granddaughter of the wealthiest man in North Hampton, Una Gonzales, also known as the Princess of North Hampton. Una was fond of playing the piano, so her family purchased three billion worth of insurance to protect her hands.

She rushed forward to meet with Levi excitedly. “It is you, Mr. Garrison!” Una greeted him with a smile

All men from the Gonzales family had failed to locate Levi last night. Just as the time limit given by Winston was about to run out, someone discovered him working together with the movers.

Una hurried over immediately to express her gratitude.

She was certain Levi worked for Ants Movers Company as he was wearing the uniform.

Levi stopped his work at hand and asked, “What’s the matter?”

He did not remember Una because he was focused on rescuing Winston last night.

“Do you remember what happened last night? You saved my grandfather!” Una said.

“Oh. It’s you. Why are you here?” Levi asked.

“I am here to thank you, Mr. Garrison! You have my gratitude for saving my grandfather!”

“You’re welcome. There’s no need for you to come all the way just to thank me.”

Una shook her head. “There is a need to thank you in person, Mr. Garrison. I shall fulfil all your wishes to express my gratitude.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 225

Levi had to continue with his task of moving the furniture. So he said impatiently. “I don’t need anything. A verbal gratitude from you is more than sufficient.”

But Una was determined. “No way! I have to do something!”

“I don’t need anything.” Levi was frustrated.

“Let me tell you my grandfather’s identity. The man you rescued last night is the wealthiest man in North Hampton, Winston Gonzales. I am his granddaughter, Una Gonzales. I am currently working in Miracle Med Corporation, a company under Gonzales Group. My company’s assets are worth over ten billion!”

Levi was stunned after listening to Una’s introduction. I see. So I saved the wealthiest man in North Hampton last night. No wonder that scene last night was so impressive. That helicopter arrived in just eight minutes while carrying an entire medical team.

Una was satisfied with the outcome as she looked at Levi’s dumbfounded expression. Everyone has always reacted in this manner whenever they found out about my identity.

She looked at Levi proudly. “Do you believe that I can fulfil all your wishes now? Just tell me what you want, and I will make it a reality.”

Levi shook his head. “Thanks but no thanks.”

“Why don’t I offer you a hundred million?” Una suggested.

Her assistant pulled out a cheque from her briefcase immediately.

Una signed on the cheque and handed the paper to Levi magnanimously. “Here you go!”

Levi grimaced. He stared at Una displeasingly. Is she trying to insult me? Does she think her behavior is acceptable just because her family is the wealthiest in North Hampton? I’ve accumulated so much money in the last few years even ten trillion is insignificant to me! The wealthiest man in North Hampton is just a nobody in my opinion. Expressing your gratitude by shoving a hundred million cheque to me is a form of insult. I am countless times richer than you, for God’s sake!

Una and her assistant exchanged glances when they saw the changes in Levi’s expression. A similar thought flashed across their minds at that moment. He is a commoner, after all. He must be trying to ask for more now that he’s aware of our status. A mere employee of a movers company is seizing this golden opportunity to earn some big profit. Well, I can’t blame him. This is human nature.

“How about two hundred million then?” Una sounded Levi out.

Levi’s expression was stone-cold as before.

Hahaha! Una almost laughed out loud. He’s obviously not satisfied with that amount.

She took a deep breath. “What about a billion? That and my grandfather is inviting you to our house as a guest. You will be our family’s guest of honor from now on. No one in North Hampton will dare to disrespect you.”

Levi said coldly. “I’m sorry, but I am not interested in money. I do not lack money either.”

Then he turned and walked inside the house.

Una and her assistant looked at one another. As expected of an Average Joe, he’s not satisfied with one billion. Judging from his attitude, he’s probably going to ask for ten billion. The Gonzales family can certainly afford ten billion, but I cannot make this decision on my own. I need to consult grandfather about this matter.

They followed Levi into the house.

An envelope was placed on the table near the door with Levi’s name written on it.

Una handed Levi the envelope after she entered the house.

He did not notice the envelope previously.

After he unsealed the envelope, Levi saw a stack of cash that’s around a few thousand.
