The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 341

The Return of God of War Chapter 341

Tsking, Louis crooned, “Iris, do you seriously think you have a choice? If you don’t agree, I’ll share what I know with the public. I wonder what they’ll think about this rising star of the business world being such a s***ty woman in private?”

He casually glanced down at the magazine he held in his hands, where a picture of Iris smiled back at him.

It was the cover photo taken when the media had interviewed her previously.

Presently, she was probably even more popular than some other celebrities!

She knew if word got out about her secret, she would be ruined for life.

Thus, there was no way she could allow that to happen!

Foregoing her previous stubborn and hard attitude, she weakly protested, “No matter which option it is, I can’t make this decision for the company!”

He spoke up in a confident voice, “Who are you trying to fool? The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce is well-aware you call the shots in the company. All it takes is one sentence from you, and the company is sold!”

Iris felt her mind go blank. They had come after her specifically, which meant they had already planned out everything.

More importantly, she really did have the power to sell the company.

It would not be illegal either. She could just walk off without having to look over her back all the time.

Having given her the stick earlier, Louis thought he would give her the carrot now. “Think about it; even if you offend someone in the process of doing this, the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce will still back you up. They can also promise you the job position you want!”

“Oh yes, by the way, this offer only lasts for today. If you still can’t make up your mind, I’m going to release your secret!”

Face ashen, Iris asked, “One day is too short! Can’t you give me more time?”

“Sure! You just have to meet me at Wonder Hotel tonight. Also, remember to bring ten million with you. Otherwise, no dice!”

With that said, Louis exited the car without waiting for Iris to say anything.

As he walked off, he called Eric’s son, Phineas, “Mr. Robinson, it’s done! That b***h Iris will definitely sell off Morris Group within three days!”

“Good job. Have another ten million for your efforts!”

“Thank you, Mr. Robinson!”

Hanging up, he was beyond ecstatic.

“Looks like Lady Luck is smiling on me! At this rate, I’ll be able to earn 60 million AND sleep with Iris! What a wonderful day!”

Although he had Iris’ most personal secret as blackmail, the two of them had not actually slept together before she found out about him dating eight women simultaneously.

That was probably one of his biggest regrets, but it would seem he would finally have the chance.

Iris was slumped in her car seat with a look of absolute despair on her face.

If only she had not been so stupid as to allow him to find her secret…

But hindsight was twenty-twenty, and there was nothing she could do to change the past.

If she were being honest with herself, she felt like that secret of hers was more important than even her life.

She really would kill herself if that got out.

“What do I do? Should I really sell off Morris Group?”

She had no idea what she was supposed to do now.

“Either way, I should head back to the company first.”

She knew what Louis meant by tonight. He was forcing her to sleep with him to extend the time limit he gave.

Lost in a daze, she did not know how she managed to drive back to the company.

Screech! Bang!

Just in front of the company building, she rammed right into another car.

The Return of God of War Chapter 342

The other driver got out of his car, yelling furiously, “What the hell? Are you blind or something? My signal lights were clearly on, yet why did you continue forward and crash into me? You – Eh? Iris?”

It took Levi several moments to register that the other driver was Iris.

To think he had just been cursing how the driver was swerving around the road like a drunken person!

Levi’s loud voice snapped Iris back to her senses. “Huh? What happened?”

His voice was cold as he demanded, “What the heck, you were out of it the whole time? You hit my car!”

He got the feeling something was not quite right with the woman today. She seemed incredibly distracted.

Had something happened?

“Oh. Sorry?” she apologized sheepishly.

After that, she called the garage, and the two cars were towed away.

Frowning slightly, he queried, “Hey, are you okay?”

“I’m fine!” she murmured vaguely.

Levi suddenly said, “Your bra strap is showing!”

“What? Where?” She turned her head to check over herself. It was several beats later before it occurred to her that he was lying.

Pushing this incident to the back of his mind, Levi made his way to his office in the technical department. As usual, he settled down to have some tea and a smoke.

Isaiah approached him, saying, “Mr. Garrison, we don’t have enough technicians in the department, so I wish to cultivate some more men.”

“Okay. Go ahead!” Levi answered.

Isaiah continued hesitantly, “But we would need a huge sum of money for that…”

“Money isn’t a problem. You can cultivate whoever you wish; just let me know, and I’ll arrange it!”

“Got it, Mr. Garrison!” Isaiah replied in a delighted tone.

He really enjoyed working with Levi.

Everybody could tell Iris had something on her mind as she seemed incredibly absent-minded today.

She had not reviewed a single document and had basically sat there in her chair dumbly for many hours.

Everyone who worked with her closely on a daily basis was worried about their boss. She used to be so passionate and energetic, nothing at all like the zombie she was today.

“Maybe she’s on her period?”

This was the only explanation anyone could come up with.

On the other side of things.

Having suddenly obtained twenty million in a day, Louis was currently enjoying himself at a nightclub.

There were more than a dozen beauties in the small private room he was in, and he had his arms wrapped around the closest two.

“Lont, you little sh**, you’ve really hit the jackpot this time!”

The voice who had spoken belonged to a bald man sitting near him. This was Zack, the boss of Bar Street. Some of the biggest bars in North Hampton were under his protection.

Around Zack were several of his most capable men, each built like an ox.

Last time, Louis used to lead an adulterous life and could often be found spending his nights in nightclubs. That was how he grew so familiar with all these thugs.

In the end, it was because of his gambling addiction that he had borrowed more than one million from Zack. Unable to pay the thug back, he ran off overseas to escape his clutches.

Now that he was back and had obtained such a huge sum of money, he wanted to return the money he borrowed.

“Zack, give me your account number, and I’ll transfer you the money immediately!”

One million was practically nothing to Louis now. He had plans to remain in North Hampton for the foreseeable future and would need to maintain a good relationship with Zack if he wanted to run a business here.

Zack puffed on a cigarette, a sleazy smirk on his lips. “By the way, I heard you’re planning on sleeping with Iris Annabelle from Morris Group tonight?”

“That’s right! I hold her deepest, darkest secret in my hands, so she has to spend the night with me!” Louis answered smugly.

The Return of God of War Chapter 343

Zack chuckled and responded, “Just the thought of that b***h has me hungry!”

One of his subordinates piped up, “Yeah! She has a smoking hot body. With how cold and innocent she acts all the time, imagine how she would be like in bed!”

Ever since they saw Iris on the front of the magazine, they lost all interest in other women.

It did not matter that there were more than a dozen other beautiful women in the room with them now, all Zack wanted was her.

Compared to her, these women were nothing.

Zack smacked a meaty hand down on Louis’ shoulder. “How about this, Lont. You let us get a turn at her tonight, and I’ll forget all about the money you owe me! Also, from here on out, you’ll be my brother, and I’ll protect you from everything!”

Louis instantly agreed, “Sure! You can have first dibs, Zack, and I’ll go second. The rest of your men should come too! Let’s all see for ourselves how good she can be in bed, shall we? Hehehe…”

“Hahaha, good man!” Zack could not wait!

One of his men asked, “Boss, do we need to prepare some equipment?”

A wicked smile twisted Zack’s face in response. “But of course!”

…

In her office, Iris was staring off into space when her phone rang.

It was Louis.

“Iris, it’s nearly time for you to get off of work. Have you made up your mind yet?”

Clenching her teeth, she squeezed out, “I-I…I have…”

“Okay, then head to Wonder Hotel after you get off work. I’ll come down to personally escort you to my room.”

After he hung up, Louis told Zack and the rest about the good news.

They were absolutely delighted and anticipation had them hurrying to the hotel as quick as they could.

At last, it was time to get off work.

Iris transferred one million to a bank card and stuffed a pair of scissors into her bag before she left her office.

Her actions had the staff feeling puzzled.

Before, she would always work overtime till eleven or even twelve midnight. Yet today she’s leaving at six?

How strange…

But they were just her subordinates, so they did not bother themselves too much with her personal life.

At that moment, Levi finally woke up from his long nap. Stretching out the kinks in his back, he got ready to head back home.

“Don’t you guys think Ms. Annabelle has been acting so oddly today? She hasn’t gotten any work done at all and seemed strangely preoccupied with something.”

“I know, right? It’s so abnormal to see her like this. I’m sure she isn’t on her period either. It’s so weird!”

“I think it started this morning after she got that phone call…”

…

As Levi walked through the company, he overheard some women gossiping about Iris.

Their words had him freezing as a bad feeling rose in his gut.

“Oh no, I think she’s in trouble!” he muttered to himself.

He thought the car accident earlier this morning was a random event.

But it was starting to seem like there was really something strange going on here.

He hurriedly called Phoenix. “I need you to find out where Iris has been and who she’s talked to today!”

“Understood, Sir!”

…

At this time, Iris had arrived at Wonder Hotel.

Louis was already waiting for her in the lobby.

Taking a deep breath to steel herself, she headed toward him.

“We’re not in any hurry, so let me check the money first.”

Despite his eagerness to sleep with her, he still had his head on straight.

He had to get the ten million first before he would indulge himself.

Satisfied he had the money, he lead the way upstairs.

Clutching her handbag tighter, Iris followed along behind him meekly.

A few minutes later, they entered the presidential suite he booked.

Before she could say anything, five men walked out from the depths of the suite.

The baldheaded man at the front was watching her with a greedy smile on his lips…

The Return of God of War Chapter 344

Sensing a bad vibe from these men, Iris backed away warily.

“Who are you guys? What do you want?”

Rubbing his hands together, Zack replied, “Babe, no need to be scared. I just wanna be friends with you! Hehehe…”

The rest of the men chortled as they neared her. “Yeah, baby! We all just want to be friends.”

“Louis Lont, you bastard! I’m leaving!”

Spinning around, Iris made to leave but was too slow.

In a flash, Zack had moved between her and the door. Locking it, he turned to step closer to her.

“Why the hurry to leave, babe? I promise I’ll be gentle!” he leered as his eyes seemed to be undressing her.

Louis sniggered and stated, “Iris, meet Zack. Don’t worry… He just wants to get to know you better!”

Feeling trapped, she shouted, “Louis, what the hell is the meaning of this? What are you trying to do? Have you already forgotten about the deal with the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce?”

Louis twitched slightly as he was reminded of his primary reason for being back in the country.

“Well, didn’t you say you wanted more time? Fine, I’ll make a deal with you! If you sleep with all of us tonight, I can give you three more days. Decline, and I’ll let the whole world see those photos of yours! Oh wait, I have a better idea. Zack, you guys wanna see her private photos? I can show them to you!”

Clearly impatient, Zack was quick to agree, “Of course! Hurry up and let me see them!”

“Wait!” Iris yelled in frustration and anger, “Louis Lont, you’re a devil!”

“Thank you for the compliment!” Louis laughed.

She insisted firmly, “I’ll pay you twenty million, but I’m not doing anything else with you.”

“Zack, just do it! This woman is very conservative and proud. She values her reputation above all else. So as long as we record everything, she’ll definitely listen to us from now on!” Louis revealed.

“Hell yeah! I’ve been waiting a long while for this!”

Zack was about to pounce on her when she pulled out the scissors from her bag.

“Don’t come any closer!” she threatened as she swiped at them with the weapon.

Zack took one step forward before he swiftly punched her wrist. The pain had her yelping and dropping the scissors.

Instantly, she was swarmed by the men, and they dragged her to the bedroom.

Thump!

Zack tossed her unceremoniously on the bed.

Tears of shame and fear dripped down her face.

Despair!

Utter despair!

She had underestimated how heartless Louis could be.

Now there was no one to help her.

All kinds of recording equipment had been set up in the room as well.

She was doomed!

Just the thought of what was about to happen had her wishing to commit suicide.

Eager to get started, Zack hastily undressed and swallowed some pills.

“Let’s begin, eh, boys?”

Just as he was about to crawl on the bed, a voice drawled from behind them.

“What fun this looks like. Do you guys mind if I join the party?”

Louis, Zack, and the other men whipped around in shock, only to see Levi standing there smoking.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my room?” Louis demanded.

A savage expression crossed Zack’s face, and he snarled, “Get him, boys! Beat him up good! I absolutely loathe it when people interrupt me just as I’m getting down to business!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 345

At Zack’s order, his four subordinates lunged toward Levi.

A bloodthirsty look flashed through his eyes. His hand came up in a fist, and he punched the first thug.

Thump!

The thug sailed back a dozen meters before crashing against the wall heavily. When he fell to the floor, he did not move to get up again.

Wham!

Another punch sent another thug flying back.

The last two had it the worst.

Two vicious kicks to the crotch downed them like two sacks of potatoes.

They rolled around on the floor, clutching their lower bodies while letting out pained howls.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Who knew that Levi would be so brutal in his attacks?

Schick!

Zack yanked out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed it toward Levi, who dodged it with ease.

Wanting to have another ago, Zack abruptly found his wrist squeezed in a pincer-like grip.

Snatching the dagger from the thug’s hand, Levi threw it aside before punching the man.

Agony exploded through Zack’s body, and he screamed in pain.

All the blood had drained from Louis’ face, and he was as pale as a ghost.

Huge beads of sweat dripped down the sides of his face, wetting his already soaked shirt.

How frightening!

Levi’s deadly gaze slowly moved to land on him.

“I-I…It wasn’t me…I d-didn’t…T-this has nothing to do with m-me…”

He was so terrified that he was babbling.

Levi questioned, “You have some personal secret of Iris’, don’t you?”

Louis shook his head furiously. “N-no, I-I don’t…”

Levi did not speak, merely cracked his knuckles menacingly.

“Y-yeah, I d-do…”

Stretching his hand out, Levi wiggled his fingers. “Give it here.”

“Well…” Louis hesitated.

“Pfft!” Levi’s fist smashed into Louis, causing the man to scream in pain.

“Give it to me,” Levi repeated.

Knowing the consequences of his hesitation, Louis handed his briefcase over to Levi.

“They’re in my briefcase!”

Accepting it, Levi opened it up to reveal a stack of photos and a USB drive.

“Do you have any more copies?” He punched the other man for added measure.

Wailing in pain, Louis truthfully replied, “No! I already planned on giving her everything! With her strong personality, I knew she would kill herself if I pushed any further!”

“That’s good.” A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and his leg lashed out.

“AHHHH!” At that moment, Louis experienced what all men dreaded the most as excruciating pain flared in his body. His whole body was flushed red as he cradled his family jewels, rolling around on the floor.

Struggling to look at Levi, he gasped out, “Y-y-you went back o-on your w-word!”

An innocent smile curled Levi’s lips. “Did I ever say I wouldn’t touch you after you gave me the items?”

“I…” By then, the pain was getting too much, and Louis was close to passing out.

The last thing he heard was Levi saying, “Since you guys can’t seem to control your desires, I’ll help you!”

Lighting up a cigarette, he watched the moaning men on the floor with a grin tugging at his lips.

Just then, the unconscious Iris woke up.

The first person she saw was Levi, standing there calmly as he smoked.

The Return of God of War Chapter 346

Then, Iris saw how Louis and the rest of the men were holding their crotches and whimpering in pain.

Scared and confused, she scurried to Levi’s side.

She asked, “D-did you save me?”
