The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 502

The Return of God of War Chapter 501

Getting out of her car, Zoey yelled furiously, “I’m not the one to blame here! You guys were the ones who were going in the opposite direction! How is that my fault?”

She was not the slightest bit afraid of them as she was certain that she was in the right.

After all, they had been driving in the opposite direction first. A fact that could be proven easily, since this entire stretch of road had multiple surveillance cameras.

Chang-wook sneered and replied, “Heh! I come from Keerea so I’m not familiar with the traffic laws in your country. All I know is that you’ve rammed into Mr. Park’s car, a Ferrari that costs more than forty million! Look how badly damaged it is! We expect you to take full responsibility for this!”

“You-!” Zoey was so mad that she could have screamed. She had never met such a shameless person in her many years of life!

You come from Keerea so you don’t know our traffic laws? What kind of logic is that?

“How could you talk in such a manner to such a beautiful woman?”

A powerful voice rang out before Park Hae-jin appeared.

Chang-wook moved aside quickly, to allow his boss a clear path towards Zoey.

Hae-jin swept a lecherous gaze across the woman’s body, desire and possessiveness gleaming in his eyes.

“I have long heard about how North Hampton is a city filled with all kinds of pretty women. Seems like the rumors are true! You’re a gorgeous woman indeed!” Hae-jin praised with a smile.

Zoey raised an eyebrow at him before asking coldly, “Were you the one driving just now?”

“Yeah. What’s wrong?”

“Why didn’t you obey the traffic laws? You’re just lucky that nothing serious had happened this time and that nobody was injured. Would you have been willing to bear responsibility if anything happened?” Her chest was heaving with the fury that was currently coursing through her body.

Hae-jin chuckled and replied arrogantly, “You probably don’t know this, but I’ve been in Erudia for a very long time now. I have never once bothered myself with traffic laws. The only laws I obey are my own! Is it so wrong for me to want to go a little faster when it’s so congested on the roads? My business deals are worth billions, or even tens of billions. Every second that I waste is a major loss of profits. Who will reimburse me for that? Besides, all those pesky rules and regulations are created for poor people. Why should I, a person who drives a car worth more than forty million, obey them?”

Hearing him spout such nonsense made her itch, wanting to slap some sense into him.

“Firstly, it doesn’t matter where you come from. As long as you’re here in Erudia, you’ll have to follow the rules. Secondly, everyone is equal here in this country. It doesn’t matter if you’re royalty or a commoner- The punishments are the same! Violating the law is violating the law. Nobody cares how much your car is worth!” she tried to reason with him while staring him down, straight in the eyes.

Her strong personality surprised Hae-jin as well, as he soon felt his intrigue grow.

Feisty and pretty. How rare!

Scoffing, he responded in a haughty tone, “I don’t care! I’ve always done things my way, following my own rules and no one else’s. You’ve damaged my car so you’ll have to pay me back for it! How about this? I’m feeling a little generous today. All you need to do is pay me back forty million, nothing more!”

Zoey was immediately astounded, as she had grown spitting mad at the audacity of the man.

The nerve of this man! This collision happened because of him, yet he dares to ask me for compensation? And forty million as well!

“Are you crazy? I’m going to call the police!”

She took her phone out and was just about to do that when a dozen men in black clothing surrounded her. One of them snatched her phone from her hands before she could stop him.

“Hey! Give me back my phone!” she yelled.

The crowd that had formed at the first sign of a traffic accident stirred slightly, but the presence of the burly men deterred them from actually doing anything to help.

Hae-jin toyed with Zoey’s phone, a smirk curling upon his lips. “Pay up if you want your phone back!”

“As if I would actually pay you forty million! Dream on!”

She would rather die than pay him any money!

Her response had his smirk widening, as he started to take on a perverted edge. He took two steps forward so he was closer to her. “You don’t want to pay me? Fine! Sleep with me for a week and you won’t need to give me anything else. That’s seven million a night. Quite profitable, wouldn’t you agree? I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing else you can do that will earn you that much in a single night.”

“Hehehe…” The rest of his men sniggered and leered at her.

The Return of God of War Chapter 502

Hae-jin was already being pretty polite and respectful by giving Zoey a choice. Previously, he would not have wasted so much time and effort on any woman that had caught his interest. He would have simply dragged the woman away without a care for her protests.

Of course, this was most likely because she truly was a beautiful woman.

“You’ll have to compensate me one way or the other. The choice is yours to make! You have one minute.”

Zoey was starting to panic at her current predicament. She was alone and she could not even use her phone to call for help. The serious expressions on the aggressive-looking men’s faces told her that they were not playing around.

“What’s going on here?”

Just then, a familiar and welcomed voice rang out.

Levi!

She spun around and threw herself into his arms, crying out, “Darling, they’re bullying me!”

Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes as frustration and helplessness threatened to overwhelm her.

She had seen her fair share of unreasonable people, yet, this was the first time she had ever met someone so outrageous.

Thankfully, Levi had arranged for some people to keep an eye on his wife, from afar.

Those men had instantly informed him when they had received the first signs of trouble, whereupon he instantly told Iris to turn around and head back.

Iris was notorious for her short temper, which had come into play now. “You were driving in the wrong direction! Why should we have to pay you back? Shouldn’t it be the other way around!”

“That’s right! That man really was driving against the flow of traffic! I saw it with my own eyes!”

“That Ferrari driver is the one who’s at fault here! He did not obey the traffic laws!”

…

Finally getting an opportunity to speak, the crowd began to point their fingers at Hae-jin as they spoke up against the injustice happening.

“You felt that the road was too narrow to show off your shitty car, so you had to drive over into the opposite lane, is that it?” Levi sniped in a cold tone.

“I don’t care! I’m from Keerea; the traffic laws in your country don’t apply to me! Besides, I’ll do what I want! She collided with my car so she’ll either have to cough up forty million or she can choose to spend a week with me!” Hae-jin insisted cockily.

He had always done as he had pleased in South City and nobody had dared to do anything to stop him. As long as nothing incredibly serious happened, everyone would typically turn a blind eye to what he had done.

Here in North Hampton, he thought that he could do the same.

“What? So what if he’s a foreigner? That doesn’t give him the right to be so impudent! It’s not like that makes him smarter than us either!”

“You’re in Erudia now, not your own country. Either obey our laws or get the hell out of this country!”

“Yeah, exactly! Having money and status doesn’t give you the right to act so willfully!”

…

The crowd buzzed like a hive of angry bees at Hae-jin’s arrogance.

“Shut up, you commoners! You have no right to speak here! Do you have any idea who I am? My father is the regional manager of Triple Group in Erudia! Why else do you think that nobody has come to settle this matter yet? That’s because nobody dares to do so!” Hae-jin stated smugly.

It was only then that everybody realized that there was some truth to his words.

Indeed, it had been a while since the accident had happened, yet no one had appeared to handle the matter. The only explanation for that was that nobody wanted to offend him!

Even Levi had not foreseen that he would run into the son of the regional manager of Triple Group.

Grinning triumphantly, Hae-jin continued, “Now, which option will you choose? Pay me back the money or spend the week with me? Make your decision now or don’t even think about leaving!”

His men swiftly surrounded Levi and the others, their posture threatening.

Fear coursed through Iris and Zoey as they wondered how they would be getting out of this situation.

Levi did not appear to be afraid as he chuckled and answered, “We won’t leave. At least not without settling this issue first!”

Digging out his phone, he dialed a number. “Xavier, come here this instance, to handle this problem! I don’t care who he is or what connections he has! Either you deal with this, or I will!”

On the other side of the phone, the captain of the Patrol Squad paled dramatically.

A short while later, the loud wailing of sirens gradually grew louder.

A row of patrol cars came speeding towards Levi and the others, before screeching to a halt nearby. Xavier exited the lead vehicle, followed by the chief and deputy chief of the traffic police.

The Return of God of War Chapter 503

At this point, they had already checked the surveillance tapes and had a rough idea of what had happened.

Now, all they needed was to interrogate the crowd for their accounts of the event.

The arrival of Xavier seemed to dampen the spirits of Hae-jin and his men. Despite that, they still had an arrogant air around them and were not particularly respectful towards the policemen who had questioned them.

According to Hae-jin, Triple Group was an incredibly important company that would greatly aid the development of North Hampton in the future. Since he would be the successor someday, that meant that he was not someone whom they could touch.

In no time at all, Xavier had reached his verdict.

“After a thorough investigation, I hereby pronounce Park Hae-jin guilty of wrong-way driving! He is to bear full responsibility for the reparation costs of the accident, both for himself and for Ms. Zoey Lopez. At the same time, his driver’s license shall be revoked and he is not allowed to sit for the driver’s license test in Erudia, for the next five years. In addition to that, he is to be detained for the next fifteen days.”

After he was done with that announcement, he quickly snuck a glance at Levi.

Zoey nodded, “Captain Fields, there’s no need for Mr. Park to reimburse me. I’m already insured so I just need to talk to my insurance company. Thank you for serving me justice!”

The crowd cheered and applauded as well, evidently happy with his decision.

Xavier could feel his blood pounding in his ears as he flushed in pleasure.

Who knew that serving the people would feel so good? What a sense of accomplishment!

“What!” Hae-jin was stunned at what he was hearing.

Previously, he had done something even worse than this at South City, and yet, he had not even gotten a single demerit point.

Now, his driver’s license was being revoked and he had to be detained?

Infuriated, he yelled, “Do you know who I am? Retract your punishment immediately or you’ll be sorry!”

Xavier glared at him coldly and ordered his men, “Take him away! Arrest whoever dares to interfere too!”

With that, Hae-jin was dragged away by the policemen.

Chang-wook and the others wanted to stop his arrest, but unfortunately, they were too helpless to do anything. All they could do was stare, as their boss was shoved inside one of the police cars.

Before he entered, Hae-jin snarled at Levi, “Rest assured that I’ll be out soon enough. Just you wait!”

Completely ignoring the threat, Levi instructed the captain, “Set the bail money for… at least five million. Use that money on the development of North Hampton.”

“Okay, understood!” Xavier nodded. Respect and admiration shone in his eyes as he looked at Levi.

Even now, all he can think about is the future of North Hampton!

“Honey, I’ll drop you off at work first before getting you another car.”

Zoey and Iris were shooting Levi curious glances.

All it took was one phone call from him, and this entire matter was settled.

The two women exchanged glances, seeming to understand what the other was thinking.

The boss of Morris Group must have been the one to resolve this issue. There’s no way that it was Levi!

Meanwhile, inside the office of Triple Group in North Hampton.

“What! Mr. Hae-jin was arrested?” Horace’s tone was disbelieving, matching the shocked expression on his face.

He demanded, “Who has actually dared to do that? Don’t they know who he is?”

“It was Xavier Fields himself!”

Horace’s face fell before he uttered, “He personally arrested Mr. Hae-jin? Come with me, quickly! We have to bail Mr. Hae-jin out!”

It did not take him long to arrive at the police station.

Upon hearing that the bail was set at five million, he was taken aback.

“Mr. Waller, you have to understand that wrong-way driving is quite a serious crime.”

Horace did not hesitate in paying the bail. Regardless of whether it was ten million, or even one hundred million, it was not like he had any other choice but to pay.

Thus, Hae-jin was released from jail.

Gritting his teeth, he bit out, “I want you to conduct a background check on a few people for me. I won’t let them go for doing this to me!”

“No worries, Sir. I’ll see to it immediately!” Horace assured.

“Give me the car keys!” Hae-jin demanded with his hand held out.

“Ah, I can’t do that, Sir! Your driver’s license is still revoked, so you’re not allowed to drive in Erudia for the next five years!”

Disregarding the other man’s protests, Hae-jin snatched the keys from him. His lips pulled up into a sneer and he boasted, “So what if I’m driving without a license? As if anybody would have the guts to do anything about it!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 504

“It was just a stroke of bad luck that I was arrested this time. But who in the entire city of North Hampton would dare touch me a second time?”

Hae-jin was visibly enraged.

He had been in Erudia for many years, yet never once had he suffered such humiliation before.

With a loud roar, the car sped off into the distance.

Horace sighed in exasperation and annoyance, not knowing whether it was a good thing or not that he had allowed Hae-jin to drive off.

Just then, Park Cheon-shin called him. The moment he accepted the call, the furious voice of his boss blared out, through the speakers, “How useless can you be, you piece of trash? Why can’t you do anything right? Do you have no power in North Hampton?”

“N-no, that’s not it. Boss, I-”

Cheon-sin interrupted him, “I don’t want to hear any more excuses! This is the second mistake you’ve made. You know the consequences of a third!”

A cold sweat broke out across Horace’s body. He was well aware that Park Cheon-sin was not a man to be trifled with.

For all of that, Scott Yates was truly a terrifying man; he was still someone who had valued loyalty and righteousness.

Unfortunately, Park Cheon-shin was Keerean. He was ruthless, cruel, and he did not abide by any rules other than his own.

Anyone who had a brain would know why they had to be scared of him!

Horace hastily dialed a number. “Gather all the men that we have in North Hampton and protect Park Hae-jin at all costs! Nothing must happen to him!”

In an instant, all of the men that he had scattered across the city began to mobilize.

If anything happened to Hae-jin, thousands of men would be able to rush to his aid in less than ten minutes.

Back at Oriental Star Group, Zoey was saying, “Darling, leave the matter of my car to the insurance company, okay? They’ll know what to do to reimburse me. Don’t involve yourself in this anymore.”

Levi shook his head, insisting, “No way! Whoever ruined your car has to pay!”

“Huh? There’s no need for that, is there? He’s already been punished!” she mumbled with a small frown.

She was mainly worried that Levi would create more trouble than it was worth.

Grinning, he reassured her, “I never said that I would let him off the hook so easily! Relax. A new car will be waiting for you before you finish work for the day. Just you wait and see!”

Besides, that minor punishment was administered by Xavier, not him. He still needed to get his revenge on Hae-jin for what he had tried to do.

After he returned to Morris Group, he sent Phoenix off to locate Hae-jin.

“Sir, Park Hae-jin is at Ocean Villa!”

“Okay, I’ve got it.”

He headed downstairs and went looking for Seth.

“Seth, I need you to take me somewhere.”

“No problem, Mr. Garrison!”

Being an observant man, Seth could instantly tell that Levi was going out to handle a ‘problem.’ He smiled as he queried, “Shall I bring more men, Sir?”

“There’s no need for that. The two of us should be enough.”

At Ocean Villa.

Hae-jin was currently in the gym, venting out his frustration.

He was standing in an arena, dressed in only a singlet that had boasted his muscular figure.

Six men surrounded him in a loose circle, each bloodier than the last.

“C’mon then! Come at me, you useless trash!” he bellowed before bursting into motion.

He was a master at Taekwondo and he was one of the strongest fighters in the world.

The six men were soon sprawled on the floor, moaning in pain.

Yet, that was simply not enough to appease Hae-jin. In a few swift moves, he proceeded to break all of their limbs with several horrible cracking sounds.

“Ahhhh!”

The agonized cries of the crippled men reverberated in the gym, causing Hae-jin’s men to shiver.

Hae-jin was incredibly cruel and aggressive, a true psychopath. Anyone that had sparred with him had always ended up with some grievous injuries.

“Sir, I’ve found out the information that you’d wanted!” Chang-wook yelled as he dashed into the gym.

Wiping away the blood on his hands, Hae-jin snapped, “And?”

“The woman involved in the accident with you is the chairwoman of Oriental Star Group, Zoey Lopez. The man who’d helped her is her husband, Levi Garrison, while the other woman is the vice-president of Morris Group, Iris Anabelle,” his assistant reported.

Hae-jin’s eyes brightened at the information and he exclaimed gleefully, “Hahaha, what a coincidence! Those are exactly the people that I’m here to deal with!”

“What shall we do now, Sir?” Chang-wook questioned.

The Return of God of War Chapter 505

“There’s no way I’ll let them go free now.” A wicked smirk played upon Hae-jin’s lips.

Bang!

The doors to the gym were kicked wide open, banging loudly as the two halves slammed into the wall.

“Where is Park Hae-jin?” A deep voice boomed out.

Everyone in the gym whipped their heads around in the direction of the noise, only to see Levi and Seth striding inside.

“Sir, isn’t that Levi Garrison?” Chang-wook pointed out.

Upon realizing that it was indeed Levi, Hae-jin smiled cruelly. “Shut the doors! Don’t let them escape!”

His men did as they were ordered before moving so that they had Levi and Seth completely trapped.

“You have some serious guts to deliver yourselves to my doorstep! Even better, now, I don’t have to go looking for you!” he thundered.

Levi lit a cigarette calmly as if he were not currently surrounded by more than a dozen enemies.

“Listen up, punk! The only way for me to let you off the hook is if you hand over your wife to me for some fun. Hahaha!” Hae-jin guffawed loudly, his men joining in soon after.

Through it all, Levi remained silent, as he merely stared at the chortling men.

The menacing look in his eyes caused fear to course through Hae-jin.

“W-what are you doing here?” Hae-jin found himself asking.

Levi’s voice was placid but there was an undercurrent of steel to it. ”You’d rammed into my wife’s car and ruined it, so now, you have to pay up!”

Once again, Hae-jin and his men roared with laughter.

The expressions on their faces clearly showed that they had thought that Levi was a fool.

To dare ask Park Hae-jin for compensation, he really must be an idiot!

“You want me to pay up?” Hae-jin asked for confirmation.

“That’s right! Her car costs at least two million, you know. Now, pay up!”

“Let me tell you a cold, hard fact: I have never reimbursed anyone for anything before! I never have and never will. You’ve said that you want my money? Only in your dreams!”

Taking a puff of his cigarette, Levi stated indifferently, “What if I insist on receiving compensation from you?”

Raucous laughter greeted his words.

Hae-jin had even thrown his head back, his stomach aching with the force of his chortling.

Being so bold while the police captain was around one matter.

It was another matter entirely to demand compensation from him while on his turf.

This guy must have a death wish!

“Hahaha… Oh, my aching sides…Urgh!”

Hae-jin’s mocking laughter was abruptly cut off when Levi suddenly stabbed his still burning cigarette into the other man’s open mouth.

“Argh!” Hae-jin screamed in agony.

His men were dumbfounded at what had just happened.

Levi had moved so fast that even Hae-jin had been unable to react in time.

A deathly silence descended upon them.

Nobody had expected Levi to attack so suddenly.

Even Seth was amazed at the speed of his movement.

“Is it really that funny?” Levi asked with a frown.

Face scrunched up and red with pain, Hae-jin roared, “Beat them up! I don’t want to see them standing after this or else!”

Acknowledging his orders, his men prepared to rush forward, at Levi.

“Are all you f***ers bored of living already? C’mon then, make a move! I dare you!”

Whipping out two batons, Seth stared the men down without a hint of fear on his face.

He was a retired military scout who had seen more than his fair share of wars. Facing down these normal men was nothing compared to what he had faced on the battlefields.

This was the reason that Levi had hired him on, as the head of security.

“Do you regret coming with me, Seth?” Levi wondered aloud.

“Hah, as if! Since you treat me as a brother, I’m more than happy to do the same!” came Seth’s proud reply.

Smiling, Levi answered, “That’s good to know.”

Enraged, Hae-jin snarled at his men, “What the hell are you guys still standing around for? Get them!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 506

“Charge!” Hae-jin’s men gave out a battle cry as they rushed at Levi and Seth.

Thud! Thud!

…

Armed with his batons, Seth showed that just because he was retired did not mean that he had lost his combat abilities. Nobody could get close to him at all as they were swatted down like flies.

Levi’s side of things was even scarier.

Thud!

One punch from him would send his opponent flying back more than ten meters.

…

“Ugh…”

A short while later, all of Hae-jin’s men were collapsed on the ground, groaning and whimpering in pain.

Hae-jin and Chang-wook were utterly dumbstruck, as they stared at the other two men with wide-eyed disbelief.

How can they be so powerful?

Despite being a Taekwondo master, Hae-jin could tell he was no match for Seth, let alone Levi.

Wham!

With a harsh smack from Seth’s baton, Chang-wook was soon sent sprawling to the ground.

Before Hae-jin could retaliate, the ex-military scout kicked him and he was swift, to crumple to the floor.

At long last, he was dragged forward and tossed at Levi’s feet.

“Well then. Are you going to pay up now?” Levi patted the defeated man’s cheek gently.
