The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 672

The Return of the God of War Chapter 671

Everyone was stunned beyond words.

As it turned out, the God of War did not take them seriously at all, to begin with, and he had long had a plan ready to deal with them.

“God of War, we’re ready to receive your punishment!” Grover responded.

“Very well. Brom now on you guys are only allowed to carry out legal business!”

“We can do that!”

“You guys are not allowed to kill recklessly!”

“We can do that!”

“On the other hand, I want a share of your business profit to fund the military expense, and you have to do that every year from now on. Are you okay with that?”

“I’m okay!”

Grover agreed without hesitation.

Levi glanced at the martial arts masters of the union and commented, “All of you here are abusing your talents by using it to bully people who aren’t physically trained. Don’t you guys feel ashamed of that? You guys should’ve just joined the frontline to defend the country! It will be a waste of your talent to stay here doing nothing!”

“All men in Erudia should be men of indomitable spirits whose priority is contributing to the country. This applies even more so for all of you here who possess immense talent!”

Everyone glanced at one another dazedly as they slowly began to understand what Levi’s plan was all about.

Firstly, he wanted them to surrender all the dirty money they had earned over the years to fund the army.

Secondly, he wanted all of the martial arts masters to join the army and contribute to the country.

“Are you guys not willing to do that?” Levi questioned them with a smile.

“We’re willing to join the army!”

“In fact, I’m getting tired of this quiet life I’ve been leading! I should have joined the army sooner to defend my country!”

“Yes, I should use my talent at the right place!”

Levi’s words received a positive response from them.

In fact, some among them did not think that joining the army a great idea, but in the presence of the God of War, they had no choice but to agree.

Excitement was surging in Levi’s blood when he stared at the crowd of martial arts masters in front of him.

He started picturing a troop formed by them and what sort of effect that would have.

He was sure they would be invincible!

They would be undefeatable especially in carrying out ambushes and invasions.

Since every single one of them possessed their own unique skill, he believed they would be able to dominate the battlefield.

Right at that moment, the war at the country’s south border happened to be in a critical situation.

If he dispatched a troop consisting of the members of the Southern Union there, he was sure they would be able to make a huge difference.

This had been his plan all along.

“Since every one of you has agreed to join the army, I’ll start briefing you guys about what’s next!” “I’ll line you guys up and form a troop with the name of ‘Beasts’, and I’ll be the direct commander of it.”

“You guys are to gather at the South Warzone tomorrow where each and every one of you will go through a special training!” “During the training, you guys will be helped to get rid of your bad habits and will gain military knowledge to become a better soldier!” Levi announced.

Although these guys were talented, they were still amateurish.

Hence, he would entrust Kirin with the duty of transforming them into an invincible troop.

“Understood!” all of them shouted in unison.

The thought of becoming soldiers directly under the command of the God of War had never occurred to any of them.

Even those who were unwilling to join the army just now started counting themself lucky because they had landed the dream job for many of the male population within the country.

On the other hand, Levi did not compel the Four Kings and the Six Slaves into joining him, because after all, they worked directly for Grover.

At the same time, he needed to count on them to generate more profit to fund his army.

Just like that, Southern Union was tamed by Levi in the most unexpected fashion.

After getting it done, Levi returned to the office appearing as though nothing much had taken place.

To his surprise, Zoey came to visit him.

“Can we talk?”

It was only reasonable for her to be suspicious of the things that had happened so fast lately.

Hence, she saw the need to ask for an explanation from Levi.

When she arrived at his room, she confronted him, “Levi Garrison, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?”

The air was charged with tension in an instant.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 672

Levi answered her with a smile, “I’m not hiding anything from you.”

“You aren’t being truthful to me. What happened last night? Why did the man who protected me ask Sylas to meet you?”

“There’s something very suspicious with the things that happened lately because you seemed to be able to resolve all problems that came your way.”

“I reckon you must have got something to do with everything.” Zoey suddenly raised her voice at him.

“Did you really spend the past few years in jail? Why do I find it so unconvincing?” she pressed on.

In fact, Levi had left enough traces behind after doing things for Zoey to discern if she paid enough attention to it.

Things had become especially obvious after Hades revealed plenty of stuff the previous night when he accidentally blurted out the location of the headquarter.

“Zoey, what’re the two of you discussing?”

At that juncture, Iris suddenly pushed the door open and interrupted their conversation.

“Huh? Nothing too important. What’s up, Iris?” Zoey asked, looking surprised by her visit.

“Oh… I was just thinking – since I’ve finished with the task at North Hampton, I’ll move here where all the important work will be done,” Iris explained.

“By the way, there’s something important that I have to share with you, Zoey. The boss of the Morris Group will reveal himself by making a public appearance soon!”

Upon hearing what she said, Zoey started getting excited about it too. She was very curious to see how that mysterious man actually looked. Not only that, but she also wanted to learn about the reason he had been so willing to help Levi and her on so many occasions before.

“Levi, have you met him before? He told everyone that he is going to make a public appearance at your wedding ceremony!” Iris asked.

“Say what?!”

Zoey, too, eyed Levi with astonishment right after Iris posed him that question.

In fact, she had been suspecting Levi of having a close relationship with the boss of the Morris Group.

Now, what Iris said just cemented her speculation.

Levi nodded at her and replied, “Yes, we kinda know each other.”

“Please tell me what kind of a man he’s like!” Iris requested.

“I think I should keep it a secret for the time being. You will be able to make a judgment yourself on the day of our wedding ceremony!” Levi responded.

Iris went speechless; Zoey and she both glared at him resentfully.

Morris Group had officially ventured its business in South City. Besides, with the help of Oriental Star Group, the company managed to build a solid foundation in the city, which made work easier for Iris.

Therefore, she was able to enjoy the leisure days to follow.

At the same time, the preparation for Levi and Zoey’s wedding ceremony had been ongoing in an orderly manner.

The preparation mainly centered on the renovation and construction of their family home.

In the meantime, the business of Morris Group was heading on the right track to slowly replace the electrical products produced by Triple Group in the market with their own.

Products like smartphones and laptops produced by the company were ready to be released to the market.

On the other hand, two movies and a drama produced exquisitely by Oriental Star Group were about to be aired soon, too.

Helena Engler, as well as other celebrities, were hired to be the ambassadors for the electrical products of Morris Group.

The future looked bright as the businesses in different fields were benefitting one another.

In the meantime, Levi had been spending every single day enjoying tea and smoking because he knew all he had to do was to reveal his identity at the wedding ceremony.

As for Zoey and Iris, they preferred to focus their attention on the business instead of making the effort to care about what he did.

With the two hardcore businesswomen around, Levi would have a comfortable life without the need to do anything.

One day, Abigail visited him all of a sudden.

“What are you doing here?” Levi asked her in consternation.

“I’m going to start my internship soon!” Abigail replied with excitement.

“Why don’t you just intern in North Hampton? There are so many more companies there than in South City,” Levi said.

Abigail glimpsed at him and countered, “Of course, I have to come here because you’re not staying in North Hampton.”

“Eh? What has it got to do with me?” Levi looked puzzled and resigned.

“Someone at school told me that you’ve divorced Zoey. Is that true?”

“Yes, it is.”

“If that’s the case, can I start dating you now?”

Levi went speechless in response.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 673

Pfft!

As soon as he heard Abigail’s answer, Levi spurted out the entire mouthful of tea he just drank.

“What’s wrong with that? Why can’t I date you now that you’re single after the divorce?”

Abigail stared at him confusedly.

Levi responded with a smile, “I’m indeed single, but I think you should get Zoey’s permission first before asking me out.”

“Well, I’ll do that now!”

Abigail left after that.

When she was in North Hampton, she was so thrilled to hear about Levi’s divorce that she actually lost some sleep for several nights because of that.

She couldn’t wait to make her way over to South City so she could start dating Levi!

Finally, her golden opportunity came.

She immediately visited Levi when it was time for her to do her internship.

Zoey was having a business discussion with Iris when Abigail visited her room.

“Abigail, how come you’re here? What’s the matter?” she questioned with a trace of astonishment in her voice.

“Yes, I have a question for you!”

Abigail spoke with a poker-faced expression.

“Let me give you girls some space.” With that, Iris prepared to leave the room.

“Iris, you may stay.”

Then, Abigail looked at Zoey and asked, “Zoey, are you and Levi divorced?”

“Yes. I even received the certificate of it.”

“Since both of you are single now, may I ask him out?”

Her question came as such a shock for both Zoey and Iris that their eyes widened in disbelief.

Is this girl crazy? I can’t believe she’s going to ask Levi out.

That was what both of them were secretly thinking at that time.

“Abigail, are you serious?”

Zoey staggered backward as she asked Abigail in a quivering voice.

Abigail nodded at her and affirmed, “I’m serious! I think he’s a nice guy who fits most of the requirements of my ideal man. Since he’s single now, I’m going to ask him out!”

Iris bit her lips in anxiety.

At that moment, she found herself resonating with Abigail because she, too, thought Levi was a nice guy.

Ever since he had saved her life that night, she had changed her views on him.

Yet, Zoey snapped with a crease on her forehead, “No, you can’t do that!”

“Huh?” Abigail appeared puzzled.

“Zoey, why can’t I? I mean, he’s single now!”

“Even though we’ve divorced, he’s still your brother-in-law! It’s inappropriate of you to date him, and it’s weird! Also, you should really focus on your studies since you’re still a student,” Zoey spoke sternly.

“I’m no longer a kid because I’m graduating soon. Besides, I have the right to ask him out as long as he’s single. Now that you are no longer his wife, you have no authority to stop me from dating him!”

Abigail looked determined.

No one could stop her from doing things that she had set her mind to!

Seeing how resolute she appeared, Zoey let out a sigh.

Why didn’t I notice Abby had a thing for Levi back then?

How on earth did she fall in love with him?

“Zoey, I’ll ask him out if you can’t give me any valid reason,” Abigail vowed.

“I…”

Zoey struggled to come up with an answer.

Fortunately, Iris came to her rescue. “Abigail, the truth is, someone else from your family filed for the divorce on their behalf. In fact, Zoey and Levi are still together now, and they will remarry each other soon. In fact, Levi’s been busy organizing a wedding ceremony for your sister lately! That’s to say they aren’t divorcing each other!”

“Say what?”

The moment Abigail learned about the truth, she fixed an incredulous gaze at Zoey.

Things went so tense and awkward that Zoey dreaded to even meet her eyes.

Bang!

Abigail stormed out of the door with tears dribbling down her face.

Because of the misunderstanding, things went rather awkward between the three of them.

After the incident, both Zoey and Levi decided not to go out and search for her.

However, a mishap befell Abigail when the night fell.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 674

After their awkward encounter, Levi and Zoey didn’t go out and search for Abigail, preferring to give her some space.

However, when night fell, there was still no news from Abigail.

She hadn’t gone back to her house, and the people at her usual haunts reported that they hadn’t seen her all day.

She seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

The Black family was thrown into chaos.

“Abigail told us she’s coming back today. Why isn’t she answering her phone, and why is there no trace of her anywhere? Did something happen to her?

Bailey and Pamela were so frightened that they burst into tears.

Beside them, Meredith and Robert broke out in cold sweat.

Zoey was so anxious that she was nearly crying.

“This is all my fault…” she murmured, silently castigating herself.

She would never forgive herself if something had really happened to Abigail.

Iris tried to calm her down. “This has nothing to do with you. Nobody would have thought that Abigail’s crush on Levi was real…”

Zoey let out a series of miserable sighs.

When Levi caught wind of the fact that Abigail was missing, he immediately sent his men out on a city-wide search for her.

The whole city was on the lookout for the missing girl.

Levi felt extremely guilty. This would never have happened if he hadn’t sent Abigail to look for Zoey.

How was he to know that Abigail was truly in love with himself?

She was really in love with him…

If something had happened to Abigail, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Unknown to everyone, Abigail was currently drinking herself silly in a private bar.

After the sadness of the day’s events, she had gathered a few of her friends from high school and headed to the bar to drink her woes away.

After drinking the entire night away, Abigail was completely drunk.

If it hadn’t been for her friends who had held her back, she would have been wasted a long time ago.

At that moment, however, a few more ex-classmates arrived to join their little group. They were all muscular and built, and the average height between them seemed to be roughly 1.9 meters.

They had been in the same class as Abigail in high school and were now studying in sports schools.

Upon hearing that Abigail had drunk herself silly in a bar, they quickly came over.

Their leader was a man named Drake Lindon. He had developed a huge crush on Abigail in high school.

He had been the school bully back then and had used to force himself upon whichever girl he happened to fancy.

However, he had never dared to lay his hands on Abigail, the Black family’s precious daughter.

When it came to Abigail, he could only try to woo her like a respectable suitor.

However, she had rejected him in the end.

It had been many years since, but Drake still hadn’t gotten over the idea of luring her into his bed.

When he found out that Abigail was drinking in a bar, he had took off for the bar immediately.

Seeing her lovely, intoxicated figure, Drake felt a strong rush of excitement.

Abigail, you won’t be able to escape from me tonight!

Drake knew that, for all her scandalous drinking habits, Abigail was an exceedingly conservative person.

If he got her to sleep with him, Abigail would have no choice but to marry him.

When that happened, Drake would become the son-in-law of the Rogers, the most prestigious family in North Hampton, and the Blacks.

Thinking about this drove him nearly crazy with desire.

Turning to Abigail, he said, “Abigail, let’s drink until we’re drunk tonight!”

He poured her a drink.

Try as they might, the girls couldn’t hold him back.

What Abigail needed most now was wine to drown her sorrows in. Drake managed to convince her to down a few more glasses of wine until she passed out completely.

Drake had already booked the hotel room in advance. Now, all he needed to do was to find a way to bring her there.

While that was going on in the bar, a manhunt for Abigail Rogers was happening in South City.

The disciples of the underworld and the Southern Union were combing the entire city for any sign of the missing girl.

Phoenix and Russell had joined the search, too.

At that moment, Levi received a lead from Derek. “Mr. Garrison, my men have found her. She’s currently at Majesty Private Bar.”

Hearing this, Levi made his way to Majesty Private Bar immediately.

At the bar, Drake had grown tired of waiting. Trying to get everyone to leave, he announced, “We’ve all been drinking too much. Everyone, take your friends home first. I’ll send Abigail back to her house.”

A few of the girls tried to protest. “No, we’ll send her back home!”

Drake glowered angrily at them. “Trying to go up against me, aren’t you? I already said I’ll send her home!”

The girls could only watch helplessly as Drake led a drunk Abigail towards the exit.

Bang!

Just as Drake was about to drag her out of the door, someone gave the door a kick, and it flew open with a loud crash.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 675

A man walked into the room, a stormy expression on his face.

Without a single word, Levi walked over to Abigail and picked her up in his arms before leaving the room.

Levi had acted so quickly that Drake and his cronies had no time to react until he had already disappeared out of the door.

When they recovered from their shock, they immediately dashed out of the room and caught up to Levi and Abigail.

Accosting them in the front yard of the bar, Drake and his men surrounded them to stop them from leaving.

Drake bellowed, “Who the hell are you? Where do you think you’re going with this girl?”

He was very angry indeed. He had already arranged for a hotel room beforehand and had successfully managed to make Abigail drink herself drunk after a great deal of effort.

However, this stranger had thrown a wrench in his plans by whisking Abigail away right under his nose.

To Drake, this was intolerable.

Levi was undeterred. “Don’t test my patience,” he warned. “I’m not in a very good mood right now.”

He didn’t want to start a fight with these kids.

Drake refused to back down. “Tell me who you are! And put that girl down—she’s my ex-classmate!”

His cronies glared at Levi, preparing to strike.

“I’m her brother-in-law, and I’m here to pick her up,” Levi replied, completely nonplussed.

“Huh?” Drake was so shocked that he felt rather dazed.

This man was Abigail’s family member?

If that was true, there was no way Drake’s plans were going to succeed!

However, he wasn’t about to let go of this golden opportunity so easily.

He had to succeed in getting Abigail into bed with him!

Foolishly, Drake bellowed, “Abigail’s brother-in-law? I’ve never heard of you! Put her down right now and get out of my sight immediately!”

Levi scoffed. “Get out of my way! I don’t want to hurt you guys.”

Hearing this, Drake burst into laughter.

He was specially trained in mixed martial arts and wrestling at school.

There was nobody he couldn’t beat in a fight.

Did this man seriously think that he was going to be able to defeat him?

How laughable!

Drake tried again. “Put her down immediately! We have to guarantee her safety.”

To his chagrin, Levi simply ignored him and walked away with Abigail still in his arms.

Thoroughly annoyed by now, Drake roared at his men, “After him!”

Because Drake and his cronies were all from sports schools, they were pretty confident that they would be able to take down Levi in a fight. They rushed towards him, preparing to strike him down.

At that moment, a loud bang sounded as the gates of the main entrance collapsed.

A crowd of people rushed into the yard. All of them looked tall and threatening, and some of them were even armed with weapons.

Very quickly, the entire yard filled up as hundreds more people flooded in through the broken gates.

The number of people in the yard continued increasing without any sign of stopping. More reinforcements were waiting to enter outside.

This flurry of activity sent Drake into a panic.

Had these people been summoned by Abigail’s brother-in-law?

Levi announced coldly, “Take care not to kill them.”

“Beat them up now!”

A few hundred people dashed up to Drake and his men and surrounded them. The people in the innermost ring of the circle started beating them up without mercy.

Levi carried Abigail all the way home, where he and Zoey watched over her the entire night.

The next morning, Zoey left before Abigail woke up. Before she stepped out of the room, however, she instructed Levi to stay behind.

“You must make your intentions clear to her!” she said.

She didn’t want Abigail to do anything so silly again.
