The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 682

The Return of the God of War Chapter 681

Naturally, Zoey wanted to know what happened.

Levi told her everything, excluding the part where the Jones family plotted to turn him into a scapegoat.

“That’s right! How dare they! Where were they before?” Zoey was furious.

She hugged Levi tightly and said, “Darling, no matter what you choose, I’ll always be by your side.”

“You’re all I need. I’ve never treated them as family before!” Levi stated.

Julian waved his hand. “Follow him and see where he lives. We’ll kidnap him at night!”

Levi knew he was being shadowed when he and Zoey had dinner. However, he didn’t care.

After sending Zoey back to the Black family, Levi returned to the Warzone compound as usual.

Julian, together with several men, surrounded the Warzone compound soon after.

“He’s telling me that he doesn’t care about becoming a young master of the Jones family when he’s living in such a shabby place? What a farce,” Julian exclaimed in a satirical manner.

The Warzone compound was in a dilapidated state. Its walls were peeling off and the main door was demolished by the Gates family two days ago.

It appeared horrendous.

“Move out. Leave as soon as you capture him,” Julian instructed.

Four men jumped into the compound nimbly and headed to where Levi was.

Ten seconds later.

Wham!

Thump!

…

The four men flew out of the compound.

A shirtless man came walking out. He sneered, “What? Are you trying to steal something?”

The shirtless man spotted the van parked in front of the compound. With a thrust of his fist, the entire front of the car was crushed.

Julian and his men were dumbfounded.

How was there an expert in such a place?

Before they were able to react, the car door was ripped apart by force.

Julian and his men were forcibly dragged out.

“Stealing? Or kidnapping?” Alfie questioned.

He was just about to do some physical training when he was interrupted by four brats.

This infuriated Alfie.

With the blaring of police sirens, Russell arrived swiftly with the special police force.

Julian and his men were taken into custody…

In the Edburg Manor of South Hampton.

“What? Julian was arrested? How incompetent can he be? He’s making more problems instead of solving them!” Michael roared.

The butler added, “Yes, that’s right! Julian invited Levi twice but was rejected both times. He wanted to kidnap him in desperation but was met with this!”

“What an idiot!” Michael was enraged.

He can’t even bring one person back. Doesn’t that make him an incompetent idiot?

“However, it seems Levi has stated that he wouldn’t come even if you begged,” the butler continued speaking.

“I understand. This kid is blaming me for not inviting him personally. Haha! Tell Daniel to invite him personally. Try to invite him over as politely as possible. After all, he’s a valuable asset to us.”

Michael sent his eldest son to extend an invitation to Levi.

Daniel Jones arrived in South City that night. The first thing he did was bail Julian out of prison.

On the second day, Daniel got up early in the morning and personally waited at the company.

As soon as Levi turned up, Daniel immediately stepped forward to greet him.

“Another member of the Jones family?”

With a glance, Levi instantly recognized Julian and his men standing behind.

“Levi, my poor nephew. Your uncle is finally able to meet you!”

With tears in his eyes, Daniel tried to rush forward and give Levi a bear hug.

Levi dodged it quickly.

“Levi, I’m your uncle! Your mother, Emma’s eldest brother, Daniel Jones!”

Levi stared at him blankly.

The word mother moved him slightly.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 682

I’m still her son, whether I admit it or not.

I can never erase this identity of mine.

He felt moved when he heard the endearment.

So her name is Emma Jones.

Despite feeling repulsed, her name was etched into Levi’s memory instinctively.

“Levi, it’s all our fault that you’ve been orphaned for years. Supposedly, grandpa should come and bring you home personally, but he’s unwell now. That’s why uncle is here to take you home. Don’t worry, Levi. I’ve prepared a grand reception to welcome you back. Twenty Rolls-Royce and ten limousines are waiting outside to pick you up.”

“Other than that, I’ll make you the boss of a large conglomerate and transfer ten billion to your bank card. You’ll be staying in a luxurious villa in South Hampton. In order to make amends to you, we’ll make you the head and heir of the Jones family as well, and you’ll have the final say in all our family affairs,” Daniel babbled on.

He was trying to sweet-talk Levi into returning to the Jones family by offering him the best of everything that the Jones family had, even the entire Jones family.

I would have been so touched if I hadn’t known what happened to the Jones family recently.

Daniel seems to yearn for my return wholeheartedly by making these offers.

How touching that he’s willing to give the entire Jones family away!

Nevertheless, making me the heir of the Jones family is in fact a trap.

They want me to take the blame and go to jail in place of the Jones family.

Daniel’s promises left Julian dumbfounded.

The Jones family put in so much effort into getting Levi to return home.

When Daniel saw Levi’s expression soften, his lips curled up in a smile, and he was on the verge of laughing out loud.

He’s only an innocent child, after all.

I can easily lure him into saying yes with wealth and power.

No one can resist this kind of temptation.

After that, Daniel cast a look of disdain at Julian.

Look, I’ve settled this matter with only a few words. You’re a useless piece of junk.

In the next second, Levi’s voice came to them. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones. I’m not interested in the Jones family at all. And we’re unrelated, so please don’t address yourself as my uncle.”

Boom!

Hearing Levi’s rejection, Daniel gawked at him with mouth agape.

How could he reject my offer?

Is he really not into the Jones family?

“Seth, escort our guests out,” Levi commanded.

Immediately, Seth sent Daniel and his men out the door.

Standing outside, Julian said helplessly to Daniel, “He’s really stubborn. He refuses to come home even when you come personally to pick him up.”

Daniel was fuming with rage.

He was second only to Michael Jones in terms of influence and status in the Jones family.

How dare Levi reject me!

He has no respect for me at all.

“How shameless of him! He’s only a tool to the Jones family,” Daniel yelled angrily.

“Maybe he wants Sir to come personally to bring him back?” Julian analyzed the situation and said.

“How insolent! As an unwanted orphan, he doesn’t deserve to have my father to come over and pick him up. He’s pushing his luck!” Daniel replied in anger.

“What else can we do since he refuses to go back? We can’t be taking him back home by force.”

I tried this approach once, and it didn’t end well.

This is the most extreme method we can use.

Suddenly, Daniel seemed to have thought about something. “Hah! We’ll get it done using the hard way then. He’s so wrong to think that I can’t deal with him. I’ll make sure that he’ll kneel and beg me to take him home.”

Daniel’s face was grim as a conspiracy gradually formed in his mind.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 683

Levi knew that this was not the end, as the Jones family was desperate to make him take the fall.

Hence, they definitely had some alternative plans.

But Levi couldn’t care less about it.

So what if the Jones family is royalty?

Why should I care?

Even the Warlord Elijah, whom the Jones family fear, almost died at my hands.

If I wanted to, I can wipe the Jones family out without breaking a sweat.

In the tower opposite the Morris Group.

Daniel asked coldly with a stern face, “Is everything ready?”

“Yes, everything is ready.”

In the afternoon, Zoey went out for a business appointment together with Sylas.

At that time, Hades was away for medical treatment.

But they had no rival against them now, as the entire South City was under Levi’s control.

The two pulled over in front of their business partner’s office tower.

Just when Zoey was about to get out of the car, Sylas discerned that something was wrong.

There was a light reflected from the top of a building faraway, which was likely the reflection from a sniper scope.

“Get down!”

Sylas promptly pushed Zoey down in her seat.

Pfft!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, their car was under attack.

The front right tire was punctured, and the whole car jerked violently.

The sudden blow startled Sylas.

Is someone trying to kill Zoey?

“Head to the office now!”

Sylas took cover while bringing Zoey into the office tower.

When they stepped in, a man in a sweater and a ski mask was walking toward them, and his eyes glinted with malice.

Screech!

He took out a dagger and lunged at Zoey.

Sylas hurriedly shoved her away while tossing her phone in front of them to block the stab. Her phone was smashed into pieces at once.

After a failed attempt to kill Zoey, the man retreated and disappeared in no time.

With a face as pale as a sheet, Zoey broke out in a cold sweat, while Sylas was terrified.

It’s not safe here!

Immediately, Sylas took Zoey’s hand and ran to the basement carpark.

Then she skillfully stole a car and drove Zoey away.

While she was driving, she saw a few men sprinting toward them through the rearview mirror.

This frightened Sylas, and she was drenched in sweat.

She promptly stepped on the gas and sped away.

After driving some distance away, the two heaved a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Sylas’ expression changed, as a car came out of nowhere right in front of them.

Bang!

The two cars collided head-on, then Sylas and Zoey passed out on the spot.

When the two regained their consciousness, Levi and Seth were already here.

Fortunately, both Sylas and Zoey were uninjured but petrified.

Looking at the two women, Levi’s face turned frigid as a man’s face popped into his mind.

Godd***it!

Then Sylas reported to Levi, ”Mr. Garrison, something just doesn’t sit right with me. We went through four attacks, and it felt as if someone was controlling it behind the scenes.”

“During the first attack, for some reason, the sniper missed us and shot the car tire instead. This makes no sense.”

“After that, the man with a dagger could have tried stabbing Zoey again after the first failed attempt.”

“At the basement carpark, some people waited in ambush before we arrived. They could have attacked us earlier, but they only did it when we drove away.”

“In the accident, it seemed like the driver only wanted to bang our car. He had no intention to kill us.”

“I feel that the person behind the scene is trying to intimidate us instead of killing us,” Sylas said conclusively.

Levi remained silent with a sullen face.

The Jones family did this to warn me.

When Levi went back to his office, he bumped into Daniel at the entrance.

Daniel sneered, “How was it, Levi? Is your wife alright? How lucky.”

Then his tone turned aggressive as he added, “But she may not be as lucky next time.”

This is a threat.

He’s threatening me so blatantly!

The Return of the God of War Chapter 684

He’s here to hint at me that he has directed those attacks, and he can kill Zoey anytime he wants.

In other words, Zoey’s life is in his hands!

Levi sniggered at his words.

Who does he think he is to threaten me?

He’s messing with the wrong man.

Daniel continued saying, “Next time, the bullet and the knife won’t miss their target. Oh, there’ll be a deadly ambush and car accident as well.”

“How fragile human life is. Sometimes, you’re bound to lose your loved ones no matter how well you protect them.”

Daniel’s tone was threatening.

He’s saying that Sylas won’t be able to protect Zoey.

And Zoey will probably lose her life the next time he attacks her again.

“I wonder if she has offended anyone that she has been attacked four times in such a short time. I’m sure no one will dare touch her if she’s a part of the Jones family.”

While talking, Daniel handed Levi a note with a contact number on it.

His message was very clear.

Zoey would be safe as long as Levi returned to the Jones family.

Daniel was having fun threatening Levi.

If Levi truly cares about Zoey, he will beg me to take him back to the Jones family.

After Daniel went back home, he laughed out loud. “I’ve won. He can’t stand against me this time.”

“Mr. Jones, now we shall wait for Levi to come and beg us to take him back.”

Everyone else let out a menacing laugh.

Meanwhile, with a grim expression, Levi was giving off a vicious vibe.

How dare he harm Zoey!

He had crossed the line.

I won’t tolerate Zoey getting frightened, let alone getting hurt.

The four attacks in a row had traumatized Zoey, and she was now on the brink of losing her mind.

As a result, Levi was smoldering with fury.

The Jones family were getting on his last nerve!

Now he was about to make a move against the Jones family.

Levi had never admitted the kinship between him and the Joneses.

Besides, even if his so-called grandpa came to bring him back, he was only a scapegoat in their eyes.

So what if I lay a hand on the Jones family?

To me, they’re only outsiders.

In the meantime, Zoey felt much better after coming back to the office.

As smart as she was, she already figured out that the Jones family was behind those attacks.

“Levi, if there’s no other choice, would you like to go home and take a look?” Zoey asked.

“No way, I’ll never go back! I’ll make them pay for this,” Levi said with a scowl on his face.

Standing outside the office, Sylas said apologetically, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t keep Ms. Lopez safe.”

“No worries, Sylas. You’ve done your best. Just leave it to me from now on.”

On the other hand, Daniel and his people were waiting for his phone to ring.

Julian asked, “What’s going on? Why hasn’t he called us after so long?”

The others followed and said, “Yes, he should be here by now.”

Daniel felt puzzled too. “Maybe I didn’t scare them enough. I should’ve let that woman get injured.”

“I think so. Perhaps he thinks that we dare not hurt them because he’s Emma’s son,” Julian told of his assumption.

Daniel let out a loud snort. “Damn it! As the heir of the Jones family, I personally went to him to bring him back, but he brushed me aside. Who does he think he is? He’s just a son of a bitch! Well, since he’s not afraid of me, I’ll chop his wife’s limbs off. Then he’ll come and beg me for mercy. Ask all the assassins to strike them now. This time, there’ll be bloodshed!”

On Daniel’s command, a dozen of assassins who attacked Zoey this morning went after her again simultaneously.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 685

Lurking in the dark where Zoey might show up, the assassins were ready to pounce on her. These assassins were highly skilled that any of them could take Zoey’s life effortlessly.

However, Daniel had only instructed them to injure her.

At the office’s basement carpark, a figure appeared. Within a few seconds, he had pried open Zoey’s car door and secretly gotten in the car.

The moment Zoey comes in, I’ll be able to hurt her in a split second.

Just as the assassin was feeling smug, he suddenly realized that there was a man in the front seat who was gradually turning his head around to look at him.

And it almost scared the daylights out of him.

Before he could escape, the man got hold of him with one hand.

Bang!

The man slapped him with another hand, and blood spurted all over the car.

“Who’s next?”

Levi wiped his hand and lit a cigarette before walking away.

Subsequently, the other assassins who were hiding inside the office and around the building were taken down one after another.

Soon after, all the assassins had been annihilated.

“What’s going on? It’s already noon, but none of the assassins are back yet.”

After waiting for a few hours, Daniel became restless.

None of the assassins came back, and there’s no news from them as well.

Something must’ve happened.

“This doesn’t make sense to me. Can’t those top assassins take down an ordinary woman?” Julian said in bewilderment.

“Contact the assassins now and find out what they’re doing.”

Daniel paced up and down in distress.

Julian tried to call each of the assassins, but not one of them picked up his call.

“Has something gone wrong? But what can happen to all our top assassins?”

Daniel did not believe that there was anyone capable enough to deal with so many assassins single-handedly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Sir, here is your parcel.”

A delivery man came in and handed Julian a box.

“A parcel?” Julian asked with a quizzical look.

Then he suddenly caught a whiff of a weird smell.

“What? Why is there a parcel? Does anyone else know that I’m in South City?” Daniel asked in astonishment.

“Open it and see what’s in it.”

Hiss!

When the box was opened, everyone gasped in shock.

There were fingers soaked in blood inside the box.

Immediately, Daniel’s face turned ghastly pale, while the others looked equally terrified.

“Are these… Are these the assassins’ fingers?” Daniel asked in a trembling voice.

Boom!

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a large group of people marched in.

“Hit them!” the leader commanded, then the group of fighters darted toward them.

Although Daniel had bodyguards with him, these fighters pounced on his bodyguards aggressively and took them down in no time.

Only Daniel and Julian were left untouched.

“Who are you people? Do you know who we are?” Daniel shouted hurriedly.

“How dare you cause trouble in my territory in South City without asking me? You’ve gone overboard!” the leader snickered at them.

It suddenly dawned on Daniel that these people were members of the South City underworld.

It’s true that we should’ve greeted and informed them before doing anything in their territory.
