The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 301

The Return of God of War Chapter 301

As Morris Group’s representative, Isaiah made an announcement to the crowd, “We plan to donate these products to all the hospitals, in order to show our support towards the medical field!”

Clap, clap, clap…

Benny Quinton was the first to clap.

The members of the media and public soon followed suit.

Morris Group had successfully boosted its reputation, gaining the public’s favor.

Even the company’s share price had risen steeply. All the other businesses owned by or related to Morris Group reaped the benefits as well.

In the afternoon, over twenty famous artists declared that they would help, in publicizing all of Morris Group’s products for free.

This was another impactful news that affected a lot of parties.

The support provided by the artists had contributed to increasing Morris Group’s sales, and their actions also reflected well on their public images, as celebrities.

Evidently, artists and entertainment companies soon

reaped the benefits of Morris Group’s prestige, as the netizens had started to applaud their charitable gestures.

Meanwhile, at Everest Entertainment.

Noah was infuriated upon seeing the news.

Slap!

He slapped Lil Lacey’s face mercilessly. “Look what you’ve done, you b****!”

Lil Lacey covered her face in a daze.

“Do you know why Levi Garrison was reluctant to apologize? Well, it’s because he couldn’t care less about both of you!”

Noah slapped Amelia.

Amelia was aggrieved.

“If I hadn’t listened to your plan previously, Everest Entertainment would’ve become a famous corporate industry, here in Erudia. Our company’s market value could’ve been multiplied by hundredfold!”

Noah trembled in anger.

“We weren’t aware that Morris Group was so formidable. We were fools to think that we were above the collaboration they’d proposed previously.”

Lil Lacey sobbed.

She had regretted her decision as well. If I’d continued to help Morris Group in publicizing their product, I would’ve achieved a great leap in my career, making my transition from a net idol to a famous star!

“Let’s go. Let’s apologize to Morris Group. Hopefully, they’ll be willing to provide us with a second chance. They must’ve chosen us previously because we’d possessed the merits they were looking for,” Noah surmised immediately.

They were unaware that it was Iris who had made the final call. Morris Group’s decision-makers were not involved in this matter.

Soon, all the executives of Everest Entertainment led Lil Lacey and ten other artists over to Morris Group.

Iris sneered when she saw the group of people, “What’re you doing here?”

“We’re aware that we’ve made a mistake, Ms. Anabelle! We’d acted like a bunch of ignorant fools in the past! Why are you all just standing there? Kneel and apologize to Ms. Anabelle at once!”

Lil Lacey and all the other artists knelt on the floor, after receiving Noah’s order.

Iris fell into a daze.

She was reminded of something that Levi had told her previously. They should be the ones apologizing to us.

Iris could not believe that Levi’s words had come true.

“Ms. Anabelle, Everest Entertainment is willing to collaborate with your company, without asking for any remuneration. We will provide you with as many artists as you require. Feel free to utilize our publicity channel too…”

Noah was desperate for the partnership with Morris Group to fall through.

He was offering Iris all kinds of free services.

“That’s right. We were fools in the past. From the way we see it now, Morris Group’s products are the best!” Lil Lacey piped up.

Amelia pleaded with Iris, “Can you please consider our offer? We are providing free promotional services to both you and your company. This is certainly a deal that will greatly benefit Morris Group.”

Iris and the other executives were dumbfounded.

They’d been so arrogant previously. Now, they’re kneeling before us, requesting for us to accept their free services, making this collaboration possible? They’re only doing this because of Morris Group’s current influence in the industry. Nonetheless, it’s not a bad idea to have a group of artists, promoting our products at no cost…

“No! I can’t allow unethical artists, such as yourselves to taint Morris Group’s reputation!” Levi rejected their offer.

Iris frowned. “Go away, Levi Garrison! You don’t have the right to speak here.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 302

Although Morris Group’s crisis was resolved, Iris did not think that Levi had anything to do with the matter.

We’d managed to turn the situation around because of the big boss’s strategy. Levi Garrison is merely here because of Isaiah Wade’s assistance. How dare he make the decision for us? Does he really believe that he is one of the company’s leaders?

“Let me make this clear, Levi. Although our previous discussion with Everest Entertainment ended on an unhappy note, they’ve now returned to apologize to us, with their utmost sincerity. Their offer to become our ambassador without any charge will be beneficial to the company!” pronounced Iris.

From Iris’s point of view, any free labor should be utilized by the company, regardless of their work ethics.

That was the norm she had practiced, after spending years, working abroad.

Iris prioritized only the economic growth of the company. She did not care for the other details.

“No! Their personalities are rotten. They’re only here to apologize to us because of how well we’re doing. Why didn’t they express their regrets in the last two days?” Levi glanced at Noah and the others. Then he announced coldly, “Get lost! Morris Group will never collaborate with you!”

Lil Lacey was mad.

She wanted so badly to strangle Levi to death. Iris Anabelle had already agreed to our proposal. How dare he reject our offer? Levi Garrison is indeed Everest Entertainment’s enemy!

Noah accused angrily, “Ms. Anabelle, I wasn’t aware that a mere entry-level staff in Morris Group was making all the big decisions for your company.”

Iris was angered by Noah’s mockery.

There were many reporters at the scene, after all.

I can’t let this news spread, to the public. Otherwise, Levi’s behavior will taint my reputation as Morris Group’s vice-president. ”Stand aside, Levi. You’re not qualified to speak here!” Iris chided.

Then, she looked at Noah and his artists. “Mr. McCormick, believe that this collaboration is feasible.”

“That will never happen!” Levi’s voice sounded out.

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re the big boss?” Iris bellowed.

“That’s right. I am the big boss, and this is the big boss’s decision!” Levi stared at Iris.

Kirin’s voice reverberated inside the venue, just as Iris was about to accept Everest Entertainment as their ambassador. “Ms. Anabelle, the big boss doesn’t want Morris Group to collaborate with Everest Entertainment. We are placing their names on the blacklist!”

Kirin showed up at that moment.

“The artists from Everest Entertainment are uncivilized. They’d hit passers-by on the street and they’d even resorted to threatening their fans. The media has repeatedly exposed their despicable acts. Mr. Quinton has selected us, so how can we choose to collaborate with lowly people as such? What will happen to our company’s prestige if we do that?”

Iris’s face flushed red after listening to Kirin’s speech.

She was too profit-oriented, neglecting all the other elements in conducting a business.

However, Kirin’s words had caused her to think twice.

I have to change my business philosophy. A company requires a good reputation, to win over the public’s favor. Only then can we maximize our gain!

The media began criticizing Everest Entertainment’s lowly behavior. They even exposed the news of Morris Group blacklisting Everest Entertainment to the public.

Soon after, Levi handed a USB over to the reporters.

The USB contained a video of Lil Lacey hitting a worker, throwing her rubbish onto the streets.

Levi had ordered Phoenix to repair the phone, extracting the video saved inside the device.

Lil Lacey’s career was doomed, right after the videos were leaked.

Netizens flooded the Internet with their dissatisfaction and anger towards Lil Lacey’s behavior.

Everest Entertainment’s future became bleak, all of a sudden, as Lil Lacey and the other artists were nearing the end of their careers.

No entertainment company would dare to sign a contract with them after such an incident.

Levi walked up to Iris and chided with a smile, “I’ve told you, haven’t I? These ambassadors aren’t suitable for our medical products. Mr. Quinton is the best candidate!”

Iris put on a disdainful smile. “Why are you behaving as if you were the one who’d invited Mr. Quinton to collaborate with us?”

The Return of God of War Chapter 303

“I did invite him!” Levi exclaimed.

“Hmph! Our big boss invited Mr. Quinton. You’ve got nothing to do with this matter,” Iris sneered.

“That’s enough. Let’s stop bickering. Focus on the work at hand! How can you waste your time arguing with me? The upcoming tasks will prove to be a challenge!” Levi smiled.

Iris recollected her thoughts. Morris Group’s workload will increase exponentially from now on. We will be busier than ever. However, this is what I’m hoping for. I can finally put my capabilities on full display with this opportunity.

Zoey visited Levi to apologize to him after she was made aware of the turn of events.

“I’m so sorry! Nonetheless, you’re awesome. You’d known of the big boss’s plan because you were following Isaiah around.” Zoey gave Levi a thumbs-up. “You’re so lucky, getting to meet Mr. Quinton. Do you know how jealous mother is? Mr. Quinton is her idol! She’s telling everyone who would listen to her in the hospital that her son-in-law drove Mr. Quinton around! She’s so proud of that.”

Levi asked her cheerfully, “Would mother and father like to meet Mr. Quinton?”

“Of course! Even I wish to meet with him. What more of my parents!” Zoey answered immediately.

“Okay. You should inform them to prepare dinner and a bottle of good wine when you’ve arrived home. I’ll invite Mr. Quinton to our house tonight, so that mother and father can meet with him!”

Zoey asked Levi with uncertainty as she thought that she had miscomprehended his words, “What? You’re inviting Mr. Quinton over to our house? Your joke isn’t funny at all!”

“I’m speaking the truth. Have I ever lied to you before?”

Zoey thought to herself, Levi did realize all of his promises due to some coincidences. Indeed, he has never lied to me.

“Okay. I’ll trust you this time. However, I cannot guarantee that my parents will share my sentiment.”

Zoey informed her parents of Levi’s intention when she returned home.

“Hmph! Nonsense. Do you know who Benny Quinton is? Do you think Levi Garrison is qualified to invite him over?” Aaron jeered.

“That’s right! I doubt Levi can achieve this. He couldn’t have achieved such a feat, even in his prime, six years ago. Today, Mr. Quinton had rejected the requests of the wealthiest man in North Hampton, along with the requests of the members of the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce!” Caitlyn shared Aaron’s point of view.

Zoey asked, “Do we have to prepare the dinner then?”

“Why do we need to prepare anything? You’re the only one who would believe in Levi’s joke.” Aaron answered.

Zoey was convinced by her parents that Levi was merely kidding. We’re talking about Benny Quinton, after all. He’s one of the most prominent figures in the medical field!

They refused to dwell any longer in that matter and continued with their tasks, afterward.

Soon enough, it was eight in the evening.

Someone knocked upon the door.

Zoey headed over, with the intention to unlock the door.

She turned around and walked back into the house without saying a word after she had seen Levi.

“Hey, where are you going, honey? You should welcome our guest. Where’s father and mother? Ask them to come to the door as well.”

Zoey was taken aback by Levi’s response.

She turned around and saw another person behind him..

Zoey was shocked to her core.

“Hello, Ms. Lopez! I’m here to visit you and your family!” Benny Quinton greeted her with a smile.

Boom!

Zoey’s vision went dark, as she nearly passed out from astonishment.

Benny Quinton! It’s Benny Quinton in person! He’s really here!

Aaron and Caitlyn marched towards the door as they heard the commotion outside.

“What’s the matter? Is there a guest?”

Aaron and Caitlyn looked in Levi’s direction.

Boom!

The two of them were astounded by the person standing before their eyes.

Thump!

Aaron slipped, slumping onto the floor.

Bam!

Caitlyn fell upon the floor, with a loud thud.

That’s Benny Quinton!

The Return of God of War Chapter 304

It’s the real Benny Quinton!

Zoey and her parents rubbed their eyes in an effort to ensure that this was no dream. That person is, in fact, Benny Quinton! He’s visiting our house!

Levi and Benny helped Aaron and Caitlyn to rise from the floor immediately.

The couple was taken aback by the pleasant surprise.

Benny Quinton had helped them up from the floor.

That was a story they could boast about for the rest of their lives.

The people who had helped them up were actually two of the most significant figures in Erudia.

Aaron and Caitlyn were the only people in the entire nation who had the luxury of enjoying such treatment.

“I’m here for a visit, Mr. and Mrs. Lopez!” Benny greeted.

Aaron and Caitlyn were startled.

They did not think they were worthy enough to be on the receiving end of Benny’s courteous address.

Levi frowned. “Why are both of you so excited? Did I not ask Zoey to inform you in advance?”

Boom!

Aaron and Caitlyn almost knelt on the floor after listening to Levi’s comment.

Indeed, Zoey had informed them. She had even told them to prepare dinner.

Unfortunately, none of them believed in Levi. They did not expect him to be able to invite Benny Quinton over for dinner.

That was an unbelievable feat in their opinion.

“Don’t tell me no one prepared dinner?” Levi’s frown deepened. How can I explain myself to Mr. Quinton?

Aaron, Caitlyn, and Zoey lowered their heads, remaining downcast.

Zoey was overwhelmed with guilt because she had doubted Levi too.

Levi heaved out a sigh.

Aaron and Caitlyn were embarrassed.

“Mr. Quinton, I…” Levi was unaware of what else to say.

“That’s alright, Levi. I can understand this situation.” Benny had guessed the reason behind the lack of preparations, made by Zoey and her parents.

“Hurry up and prepare the dinner! Do you want Mr. Quinton to stand here and wait the entire night?”

The trio regained their senses upon hearing Levi’s reminder.

They invited Benny into the house and headed straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Luckily, there were some vegetables and meat left in the refrigerator.

Aaron was caught in a difficult situation because there was no good wine left in the house.

“Don’t worry about that, father. I’ve brought two bottles of liquor over, from the Warzone.”

Levi was glad he had prepared the liquor, saving himself from further embarrassment.

Dinner was soon served swiftly, as Zoey received help from her parents inside the kitchen.

It all felt surreal, taking in the sight of Benny, seated around the dining table.

That man was Benny Quinton! The legendary figure in Erudia’s medical field. A person who was as important as the nation’s treasure.

I can’t believe he’s here in our house. This is incredible!

Aaron, Caitlyn, and Zoey even took pictures of Benny in secret. They never imagined the impact that those photos would create in the future.

Although Benny was a high and mighty figure, he was still a down-to-earth person. He had repeatedly praised Aaron and his family for the home-cooked meal and the pleasant wine.

Living these tranquil moments like a normal person was Benny’s favorite lifestyle.

Aaron could not contain his curiosity for long, after having his share of liquor. “Why did you accept my son-in-law’s invitation, Mr. Quinton? We’d thought that something like this would never happen!”

Zoey and Caitlyn nodded in agreement.

Benny gave Levi a meaningful look before he explained with a smile, “The first reason is that I am now acquainted with Levi since he had driven me around today. Besides, I am aware Levi is the founder of this core technology that helped create these medical apparatuses. I sincerely respect people like him.”

“I see! You’re indeed a role model to learn from in the medical field, Mr. Quinton! Cheers!” Aaron raised his glass.

In their opinion, Benny was merely humble enough to accept Levi’s invitation. Hence, they thought of Benny as a generous and great man.

Benny was about to leave after filling up his stomach.

“I’ll be sending Mr. Quinton off now.”

“Okay. Be careful! Take Zoey’s car.”

Ultimately, Levi drove Benny over to Maple Manor.

That was the place where Azure Dragon, Phoenix, and the others lived.

The Return of God of War Chapter 305

“You don’t have to arrange for me to stay in this extravagant place. I’m alright, staying at my current place,” Benny quipped.

“I need to prioritize your safety, Mr. Quinton!”

Levi arranged for Benny and his secretary to stay in Maple Manor. Mr. Quinton’s well-being should be secured since this place is guarded by soldiers at all times.

Morris Group’s increasing fame and their products overwhelmed the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce’s influence all of a sudden.

The Chamber was slow to react to Morris Group’s success, as Morris Group had almost dominated the medical apparatus market.

Even the technicians working under the Chamber were planning to resign, from their jobs and bring their talents to Morris Group.

“Let us merely observe, during this critical moment. We’ll wait until the end of the commander-in-chief’s appointment ceremony before we make any moves.”

Eric and the others were depressed. However, they were forced to endure Morris Group’s advancement.

Even the wealthiest family in North Hampton, the Gonzales family, felt threatened by Morris Group’s rising.

The last time they had felt as such, was when Levi was still the person-in-charge, of Levi Group.

However, everyone was still focused on Benny Quinton’s arrival at that moment.

Benny had to stay in North Hampton for some time because he would be attending the appointment ceremony as well.

Many people had invited Benny to their gatherings and events, but he had rejected all of their invitations.

Benny refused to stay idle in the upcoming days.

He went to work at North Hampton City First Hospital.

However, he did not join the hospital as a specialist. Rather, Benny joined as a normal doctor.

All patients would only have to pay twelve bucks to receive treatment from him.

That was a great blessing to every citizen in North Hampton.

A lot of patients who were contracted with complicated diseases went to visit Benny.

Benny even arranged for Caitlyn to become his assistant.

The appointment caused Caitlyn’s position to rise in the hospital’s hierarchy. It was almost certain, for her to be selected as the director of her department.

Levi smiled wryly after he was made aware of that news.

He had wanted Benny to get some rest while he stayed in North Hampton.

To his dismay, Benny went to work as usual because he was not a man who enjoyed having too much leisure time.

That was one of the reasons why Benny Quinton was one of the most significant figures in Erudia.

Benny worked as a front-liner and treated plenty of patients, for the next few days.

He treated all of his patients fairly, regardless of their family background.

North Hampton turned into a hot spot for medical tourism, all the fruits of labor, of Benny’s influence.

Even Caitlyn became a small celebrity, simply working alongside him.

One day, Benny was working in his office.

Suddenly, a group of ferocious men entered the facility in an imposing manner.

They were obviously thugs who were up to no good.

Everyone inside the hallway scurried away after they noticed the thugs’ menacing gazes.

The group of thugs, that consisted of no lesser than eight men, disregarded the long queue outside and barged into Benny’s office.

“What are you doing? If you’re here to receive treatment from Mr. Quinton, then you need to take a number and wait for your turn!” Caitlyn reminded.

Slap!

The man leading the group of thugs slapped Caitlyn’s face mercilessly.

She staggered backward and slumped onto the floor, as that man’s slap left a visible mark on her face.

The patients seated inside the office were frightened by the scene, so they hurriedly left the room.
