The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 401

The Return of the God of War Chapter 401

“I suggest Sir to retreat out of North Hampton immediately. Your safety is of utmost importance. That man is not someone you can afford to cross.”

The moment Winston finished speaking, everyone froze, including Sebastian.

What? You’re asking me to leave North Hampton?

“Yes. The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce agrees with Winston. North Hampton is vastly different from what you’ve imagined. You might die here,” Robinson and the other three said.

In the end, even Liam chimed in, “That’s right. You can’t afford to cross that man!”

The three powerful men of North Hampton were persuading him not to stay.

Their words were shocking.

Winston and the rest would not have said something like this in the past.

However, after seeing the contents of the painting Seth had shown them, they realized what that man’s intentions were.

If Sebastian insisted on attacking North Hampton, he was doomed for death.

Sebastian and the rest were staring at the speakers in shock.

I can’t afford to cross the Morris Group?

Is this a joke?

Other than one man in Quebec, there was no one Sebastian could not afford to cross.

Moreover, that man was now in South City, not North Hampton.

“Oh, I see.”

Abruptly, Sebastian laughed.

He finally understood why the people of North Hampton did not want him to stay; he was intruding upon their territory.

That was why these people were using the boss of Morris Group to pressure him to leave.

However, he refused to do as they say.

The more he could not afford to cross him, the more he wanted to try.

This piece of cake in North Hampton had to be his.

He was going to destroy the Morris Group and kill Levi Garrison.

Not even God could stop what Sebastian wanted to do.

Looking at the crowd, Sebastian sneered, “The theme for this banquet is simple. I’ll expand my territory into North Hampton along with everyone. If you trust me, give me a sign. From now on, your business is my business.”

Sebastian’s words were simple to understand.

He wanted everyone present to pick sides.

The time had come.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Liam, Winston and Eric were the first to express their stances. “We’ve retired. We no longer participate with any disputes in North Hampton.”

“Very well. And the others?”

Sebastian looked at the rest.

“I choose to follow Mr. Lopez.”

“Me too!”

……

Everyone was quick and in a hurry to stand on Sebastian’s side.

“I choose to be neutral.”

“Same!”

……

A portion of the men decided to pick no sides.

In the end, the three wealthy families that had the same standing as the Rogers family—Jenkins, Welch and the Hardy family had chosen to be neutral.

After all, their families had tens of billions. They could expand their territories by themselves.

Upon hearing these three men’s choices, Sebastian became upset.

His expression frightened the rest.

Sebastian might not go against them, but their happy days would be numbered.

Soon, each family had expressed their stances.

Half had chosen to follow after Sebastian, and most chose to be neutral.

“Who’s next?” Sebastian asked.

Everyone turned to look at Glenn.

The only one who had not expressed their stance was him.

“Mr. Glenn Rogers, what is your answer? I know you’re powerful now. Please pick your decision wisely,” Sebastian laughed.

Glenn knew what he meant.

No matter which decision he made, he would remain as Sebastian’s ultimate archenemy.

Now, the decision he would make was important.

It was time for him to pick sides.

If he chose to be neutral, Sebastian would not target him.

However, he would not pick neutral, and neither would he choose to follow after Sebastian.

“I choose to stand on Morris Group’s side.”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 402

A chorus of gasps sounded out.

The moment Glenn’s words left his mouth, the crowd fell silent.

Next were the sounds of people drawing in their breaths.

Their eyes were close to popping out of the sockets as they stared at Glenn in shock.

Everyone could barely believe their ears. A third choice had been voiced out.

They could not believe that someone had chosen to side with the Morris Group, which was Sebastian’s archenemy.

It was as if Glenn was courting for death.

Sebastian’s terrifying gaze landed on Glenn, and it sent a shudder down his spine.

Now, terror had gripped tight onto him.

“I’ll ask you one more time. What is your choice?” Sebastian repeated his question in a deep voice.

Anyone who was not blind nor deaf would realize that Sebastian was angry.

The continuous provocation had made Sebastian furious.

The trembling of Glenn’s body was evident.

However, he would not change his decision.

That was because standing on Morris Group’s side meant that he was standing on Levi’s troops’ side.

Levi’s the God of War!

No matter how impressive you are, Sebastian, you can never surpass the God of War.

The reason behind him being number one in North Hampton was because he was a follower of Levi.

If not for him, the Rogers family would have been bankrupted long ago.

This was the time for him to express his loyalty to Levi.

“I repeat my answer. I choose to stand with the Morris Group. Whoever is the enemy of the Morris Group will be the Rogers family’s enemy,” Glenn declared.

No one could understand Glenn’s decision.

They thought, Even if you don’t want to follow after Sebastian, you can choose to be neutral.

Why do you have to go against Sebastian?

Do you have a death wish?

“Alright, alright,” Sebastian said.

Even he was stunned by Glenn’s answer.

He thought that everyone in North Hampton would bow to him the moment he commanded them to.

Yet, it was only his first day here and he was already provoked several times.

Levi had humiliated him.

The Morris Group had forced him.

The Rogers family had chosen to go against him.

……

This was humiliating!

Sebastian’s pride was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

Fury!

It was an unrestrainable fury!

Sebastian laughed, “Has everyone forgotten about me because I haven’t come here for a long time?”

“We wouldn’t dare!”

The crowd was shocked.

Sebastian said to Simon, “Simon, it seems like we need to do something to remind them that I hold the title of Hades.”

Simon nodded, “Sir, I’ll arrange for it immediately.”

Their conversation scared the living daylights out of the crowd.

Sebastian was about to make his move.

Even Glenn was afraid.

He doubted he would be able to leave the Lopez family’s estate alive tonight.

Henry and Shaun took the opportunity to sneer, “You have no fear of death! Did you have to force him to do this?”

Sebastian walked towards Glenn and patted his shoulders. “Don’t be scared. I won’t kill you tonight. In near future, I’ll show you why your choice is a mistake.”

At the end, when Glenn left the Lopez family’s estate, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

The remaining left with pounding hearts.

Everyone knew that for North Hampton, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

After the people had left, Sebastian narrowed his eyes and announced, “We’ll deal with Nueve and Trey tonight!”

“Assign Black and White Guards on it,” Sebastian added.

Simon drew a sharp breath.

He knew that Sebastian was serious about it this time.

Harry and the rest exchanged a look. They knew what the Black and White Guards were.

They must be what was kept in the forbidden room.

Fabian, who had seen them personally, started perspiring in fear.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 403

When he thought back of that scene, his knees went weak.

……

Levi knew what had happened at the Lopez family’s estate.

“That coward Glenn actually stood on Morris Group’s side!” Levi laughed.

“No matter how cowardly he is, he knows how powerful the God of War is,” Azure Dragon chuckled.

Kirin added, “I’m afraid Sebastian will be exacting his revenge maniacally now. That man is a lunatic!”

“The faster he makes his move, the earlier he dies,” Levi chortled.

Sebastian Lopez was not worth his attention.

Recently, Nueve and Trey were giddy with delight.

They had abandoned the terrible things in their past.

Now, they were focused on their businesses, hoping to contribute to North Hampton.

Moreover, they were in collaboration with several other successful businessmen. They frequently had discussions on methods of business expansion.

Most of their businesses were involved with bars and karaoke clubs.

Tonight, at Crown Karaoke, Nueve, Trey, and five other businessmen were in a meeting.

Right then, screams traveled into their ears from the corridor.

Nueve and Trey’s men were lying scattered across the corridor.

As the karaoke room was soundproofed, Nueve and the rest did not hear the screams.

Bang!

Right then, the door to the room was kicked open.

A group of people entered.

“Who are you?”

When Nueve and the rest recognized none of the intruders, they became wary and stood up defensively.

“Neuve? Trey?” The leading man asked.

“That’s right. Who are you? What are you doing here?” Neuve hissed.

No one in North Hampton dared to provoke him.

“There are two people who wish to meet you,” the man replied as he laughed.

“Who wants to meet us?”

Nueve’s curiosity grew.

Just then, the dozens of men by the door moved to the sides, leaving a space in the middle.

With the sounds of footsteps, two men came in.

One in black, and the other in white.

When Nueve saw them, the color drained from his face. His voice trembled. “What? B- Black and White Guards…”

Nueve had lived a life in the underground society for decades.

He had heard of the Black and White Guards.

However, he did not expect these two gods of death to look for him.

“Black and White Guards?” Trey shrieked.

The Black and White Guards were taboos.

There was no good ending for those who encountered them.

“Let’s fight till the end. We have no other way!” Nueve hissed.

Sebastian’s guards went out, leaving the Black and White Guards in the room. When they left the room, they locked the door.

“Ugh!”

“Argh!”

Agonizing wails traveled out of the karaoke room.

Even Sebastian’s men had cold sweat beading on their foreheads when they heard the screams.

They could not imagine the bloodbath that was going on in the room.

They could not imagine what torture Nueve and Trey was experiencing.

Indeed, the room had turned into hell.

The screams continued for half an hour.

Finally, the Black and White Guards exited.

Both men’s hands were covered in blood, and they were sucking it as if they did not want to waste even a drop.

That night, that place in North Hampton had gone through its worst history.

In one night, Sebastian had shown the people of North Hampton the definition of cruelty and the weight of Hades’ arrival.

It was an act too cruel.

Excluding the countless deaths and injuries, many had their bones simply removed from their bodies.

“Levi, bad news. Sebastian went to settle off Nueve and his gang last night. Countless are dead and severely injured. Even Nueve and Trey are on the verge of death!”

Early in the morning, Azure Dragon came with horrible news.

“What? They actually dared to make a move?”

Levi was stunned.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 404

“Yes. Sebastian is a madman!”

Azure Dragon sighed, “Apparently, he has two terrifying subordinates who are ruthless. Many were bitten to death. Although Nueve and Trey had many men with them, they were no match for those two.”

“They must be the Black and White Guards that Glenn mentioned,” Levi mumbled.

“Do you remember Chopper?”

Levi nodded.

Chopper had been a great help to him.

“Chopper died from blood loss after the Black and White Guards sucked out his blood while he was alive,” Azure Dragon told him the terrifying truth.

“Hm.”

Levi looked calm, but on the inside, anger was boiling.

“Let’s visit Nueve.”

When they reached the hospital, they saw Neuve and Trey swaddled in bandages.

With one glance, Levi knew how terrible last night had been for them.

“Neuve has 87 broken bones and 105 cuts on him. Trey has 76 broken bones, and he has 88 cuts.”

Azure Dragon informed Levi of their injuries.

“It seems like it’s a miracle that they survived. They can only live as a cripple from now on,” the doctor explained.

Azure Dragon whispered to Levi, “Sir, I think the Black and White Guards intentionally left Nueve and Trey alive. It’s a warning for us.”

Levi nodded. “Yes, I’ve noticed. They have more than a hundred wounds, but each cut avoided the vital points. It seems like those two are quite impressive.”

“How cruel,” Azure Dragon gritted out.

“If we don’t deal with them, they might end up hurting Ms. Lopez. That’s a consequence we don’t want to think about.”

Kirin suggested, “Let me deal with this.”

Levi shook his head. “No need. It’s time for White Tiger to exercise a little.”

“Huh? White Tiger?”

Azure Dragon and Kirin were bewildered.

He was a man with a great reputation and influence.

White Tiger, the King of War, had a nickname on the battlefield— War Machine.

That title was the nightmare of many enemies.

That was because White Tiger was a maniac and also the devil of the battlefield.

In the Five Great Wars Regiment, he was the best fighter.

Once, White Tiger had fought his way out of tens of thousands of enemies without a scratch on him.

In that battle, he had killed over six thousand people all by himself. That battle was the one where his reputation was established.

However, he was the cruelest and most controversial one.

As long as White Tiger made a move, his opponent will die. There were no other options for them.

Once, he murdered tens of thousands of prisoners, and he nearly went to the military court.

Hence, that was why Levi had made him stay low for such a long time.

Every time White Tiger made a move, a disaster ensued.

“Yes. It’s time for him to act.”

Levi was determined.

……

Sebastian’s act of sending out the Black and White Guards to create a bloodbath in the underground world frightened everyone.

Sebastian’s title as the Hades had returned overnight.

People from all corners of North Hampton were trembling in terror.

They were scared that they would be his next target.

After all, the enemy was in the shadows.

Glenn was distressed.

The entire Rogers family was feeling dreadful.

Last night, it had been Nueve and Trey.

The next in line would definitely be the Rogers family.

Glenn started sobbing.

He could not cross both sides.

Crossing either side would result in death.

They thought that the Rogers family had finally reached their prime, but now they were facing an impossible obstacle.

At the Lopez family’s estate.

Sebastian was satisfied with the reactions of the people in North Hampton.

“Violence is needed for them to feel fear. If not, there’s always someone who’s trying to provoke me,” Sebastian sneered.

“Who should I deal with next?” Sebastian contemplated.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 405

Henry stepped forward and uttered, “Sir, I have a suggestion. It’s a plan that will kill two birds with one stone.”

“Speak your mind. If it’s satisfactory, I’ll reward you for it,” Sebastian said.

“Glenn Rogers has a granddaughter named Abigail Rogers. Moreover, Abigail Rogers is Levi’s sister-in-law, and they’re close to each other,” Henry cackled.

Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s eyes gleamed.

“Wonderful! Simon, bring Abigail to me,” he instructed.

“Yes, Sir.”

Sebastian then turned toward Henry. “You have quite a lot of ideas. Follow me from now on.”

“Thank you, Sir, for this honor.”

Henry immediately got to his knees and kneeled to Sebastian.

If he followed Sebastian, his life in North Hampton would be easy.

Abigail was currently doing an internship in market research.

In the evening, when she and her classmates were about to return home, several large men came towards them.

“Ms. Rogers, please come with us.”

Instantly, one of the women started dragging her away.

“What? I don’t know you.”

Abigail had a displeased look on her face.

Among Abigail’s classmates were her admirers. They swiftly intervened.

“What are you all trying to do?”

A few tall classmates stepped in front of Abigail to protect her.

Smack!

Smack!

……

Their answers were in the form of a punch. Instantly, their faces were bloodied and their noses were broken.

Abigail was taken away as the others watched.

Levi was drinking tea in the Morris Group’s office.

Right then, Seth Wilson, the leader of the security team, called.

“Levi, bad news! The Lopez family said that your sister-in-law is in their hands. If you don’t reach the Lopez family’s estate by twelve, Abigail will be handed to the Black and White Guards,” reported Seth anxiously.

“What? Abigail’s been caught? They must have a death wish!” Levi fumed.

He had sent his men to protect Zoey, but he had not thought the possibility of Abigail being caught.

It would be horrendous if Abigail ended up in the Black and White Guards’ hands.

From what he heard, the Black and White Guards were not only cruel executioners, but they were also perverts.

On the other side, Glenn Rogers had also received news of Abigail’s capture.

Glenn was in a panic; this was his beloved granddaughter.

In the evening, at the Lopez family’s estate, Abigail was locked in a room.

However, there were sounds and movements from the other side of the room. It was as if there were two pacing beasts breathing heavily.

Fortunately, there was a window between the two rooms, and both sides could see each other.

When Abigail looked through the window and saw the two beasts, she shrieked in horror.

One was dressed in black, and the other was dressed in white. Both men had far too much hair on them to look human.

Not only were their arms and legs covered in thick hair, but their faces were also hairy.

They looked like savages.

The two men had grown up in a pack of wolves. Their habits and behaviors were similar to those of a wolf.

The two were baring their teeth at Abigail, and she could smell the pungent scent of blood.

Their eyes were the eyes of beasts. One look and Abigail was crying out of horror.

Sebastian went to the forbidden room and smiled. “This girl is your reward. After you’ve enjoyed her thoroughly, help me kill her later.”

“Hmm.”

The Black and White Guards nodded as they eagerly looked at Abigail.

“No! Don’t!”

Abigail knew what was coming next, but Sebastian was already gone.

Before he left, he threw the keys to the two men.

Clang!
