The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 782

The Return of the God of War Chapter 781

Clang!

All the members of the Southern Union kneeled on the ground abruptly and shouted uniformly, “Good evening, Mr. Garrison!”

Their roaring voices were deafening to the ear, vibrated the chest of everyone at the scene.

Helena, Zoey, Lucas and the rest of the people were left in shock.

…

Everyone’s jaws dropped as they stared at Levi in surprise.

They were in utter disbelief. Everyone thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.

What’s going on? Who is he that these people have to kneel before him? Can someone please explain what’s actually happening now?

They couldn’t get their head around the scene in front of their eyes.

Lucas and his men were flabbergasted the most among all.

What the hell is this?!

The members of the Southern Union weren’t out of their mind. They were sane and sober.

Grover was a smart man. He had secretly shown the picture of Levi to all the members of the Southern Union and warned them about his capability. If they encountered him, the first thing to do was to kneel and avoid any conflict at all costs. On top of that, they couldn’t reveal his identity to anyone.

For that reason, all of them recognized Levi at the first glance, and they were horrified to know that their target was the latter. So, they kneeled right away in order to save their own lives.

“Hey, why are you lots kneeling? He is the man I want to kill! Get on your feet!” Lucas roared anxiously.

But no one paid him any heed, and they remained in the same posture.

It was likely that they’ll not move a muscle if Levi didn’t give them further instructions.

“What are you doing?” Lucas yelled as his edginess grew.

His expression gradually became tense due to the increasing agitation. As a result, the wound on his face almost tore open, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

Still, they remained on the ground and didn’t budge an inch.

An epiphany occurred when Zoey saw the happening, and she assumed that those people were on their knees because Levi was one of the Joneses.

Otherwise, it would be unthinkable that they’d do such a thing.

The only reason behind their bizarre action would be his identity as a royalty.

Moreover, the way they addressed him furthered reinforced her assumption.

So he had been using the influence of his family to settle issues lately. It seems like he’s doing the same again, but at least the problem is solved.

“What are you waiting for?” Levi queried in a cold tone.

“We’re sorry about this, Mr. Garrison!” They apologized in unison.

Right after that, they rose to their feet and disappeared into the shadows.

Leaving Lucas and the bunch behind, who were calling out for them.

That left the gang in an awkward situation. The fighters they hired bailed on them. We’re just a group of defeated foes. There’s no way we can exact revenge on Levi anymore. We should retreat now.

“Hold on. Did I give you permission to leave?” Levi stopped them.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 782

His voice immediately brought them to a standstill as they recalled the pain and horror of being beaten up by Levi in the evening.

Then, they began to tremble.

We’ll lose all our faces if we’re beaten to a pulp again. In the case, death would be a salvation.

“You’re coming and going as you like in my territory! Am I invisible to you?” Levi snapped in an icy tone, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

The crowd gasped in shock.

Whoever upsets him is running out of luck!

“Let’s forget about it, Levi. You’ve already beaten them up, and the problem is solved anyway. To err is human, to forgive is divine.”

Zoey didn’t want things to get out of control, so she took the initiative to intervene.

“Alright then. Consider yourself lucky today. Get lost!” Levi bellowed.

The Prince Gang ran for their lives immediately after they were released.

“Okay. Let’s all go back now. Do not say a word about what happened tonight.” Zoey ordered.

Thereafter, Levi thought she would inquire about the reason those people got on their knees.

However, she didn’t do so. It was like she already had an answer, which was rather puzzling to him.

Zoey has been acting weird lately. She’s not even curious about all the unusual things I’ve done recently. It’s like she is used to it.

But little did he know that Zoey had been assuming him to utilize his identity as a member of the Jones family to settle things.

Meanwhile, Yadriel, who came rushing, bumped into the hundred fighters who were retreating.

“Mr. Garrison had us released.” The person leading the group noted.

Yadriel clapped his hands as his suspicion had proven to be right.

I knew it! It’s really Mr. Garrison!

“This is bad! They’re so screwed!”

Following that, the man picked up his pace at once. Nevertheless, he stumbled upon Lucas’ group shortly after he dashed with all his might.

“Hmm? Did he not give you a hard time?” Yadriel gazed at them in bafflement.

Judging from Mr. Garrison’s personality, it’s unlikely he’ll let them go. What happened?

“Levi didn’t want to release us at first. He only did it after his woman talked him into it.” One of them explained.

At this, Yadriel heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness… Oh yeah. I’ve made some arrangements to escort you out of this city. You should head back to South Hampton at once. Staying here will spell doom for all of you.” He urged.

These people can’t stay here! They’ll most likely push Mr. Garrison’s button again, and they’ll be dead meat for sure! I have to send them away now. Anyhow, I’m acquainted with the Quinn family; seeing one of theirs playing with fire certainly doesn’t sit well with me!

“Stop right there!” Lucas beckoned at him.

Once he came to a halt, Lucas stared into his eyes and asked, “What in the world is going on? Why did your people kneel and call him Mr. Garrison the moment they saw that guy?”

“They seemed to be afraid of the one called Levi.”

“Who is he that even the Southern Union members are terrified at the sight of him?” The Prince Gang wondered.

“Yeah, who on earth is he?”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 783

This question put Yadriel in a difficult spot.

Should I tell them? What if the higher-ups put the blame on me? I’ll be in deep trouble then!

Just as he was contemplating, a voice could be heard saying, “You’re not worthy to know who I am!”

Soon after the voice, a figure slowly emerged.

Yadriel’s eyes almost popped out from their sockets after he got a good look at that person.

Did he tail them here? I knew he wasn’t planning to let the Prince Gang go! At the end of the day, this is who Mr. Garrison truly is!

Right before he was about to kneel, Levi gestured him to stand aside.

Lucas and the rest on the other hand, were thrown into a panic state after seeing him.

What is he doing here? Didn’t he let us go?

“Yadriel, I want you to get rid of him for me today! Whatever the cost!” Lucas bawled, his voice implying he wanted Levi killed.

“I’ll pay you ten billion!” Lucas named a hefty sum of money after seeing that he remained unfazed.

Considering the amount he was willing to pay, one could roughly gauge the level of his madness and the intensity of his loathe for Levi.

Everyone drew a sharp breath after hearing his words.

He’s insane! Ten billion for Levi’s head! What an amount to squander!

To his surprise, Yadriel remained uninterested and moved to the sidelines.

“Handle your own mess! I won’t interfere!” Yadriel replied indifferently.

Ten billion surely is alluring. But if I take the job, I’ll be dead before I even get to spend a single cent.

The turn of events had caught Lucas off guard.

What do I do now? Our men are all in South Hampton. We’re basically sitting ducks here.

“D-didn’t you give your word to let us go?” Lucas asked with a trembling voice.

The egoistic Prince Gang was docile as a lamb in the face of Levi. They began to fear for their lives and dreaded the individual called Levi Garrison.

“It was my woman who promised to let you go, not me!”

Everyone was rendered speechless by the words of Levi while his lips curled up into a sneer.

“W-What do you want?” Everyone was shuddering.

After all, they had a phobia after being beaten up by him.

Even a madman like Lucas was frightened by his absurdity.

I need to be more ruthless to go against someone like him!

“I dare you to let me go back!” Lucas challenged in a cold tone.

Once I’m back to South Hampton, I swear I’ll amass a large group of men enough to wipe out the entire South City! It doesn’t matter if I lose my face or honor; I will cut you into pieces! Just you wait!

“What do you say? I see that you’re also a ruthless man like myself! Let’s arrange a showdown! Dispatch every man you have!” He continued after seeing a ray of hope.

“Yeah! Do you have the balls? If you’re a man, then let us go! We’ll have a face-off with real swords!” The others seized the opportunity to provoke Levi.

Having said that, Yadriel who was on the sidelines was dumbstruck.

The Prince Gang wants to fight with Levi! Will he accept it?

The Return of the God of War Chapter 784

Needless to say, Levi understood the intention of these people. It was so that they could gather enough forces to pay back for what he did.

“You stay back. The rest of you, scram!” Levi pointed at Lucas while commanding.

“Huh? Why are you detaining me?” Lucas was baffled.

Levi nodded, “I don’t take innocent lives anymore, so I’m not gonna kill you. But it doesn’t mean that you’ll escape being punished. You must kneel for three whole days to repent for your ill behaviors. Only after you’ve done that will I release you.”

With a wave of his hand, Azure Dragon, who was on standby, instantly restrained Lucas.

The rest of his friends could only stare helplessly as the scene unfolded.

“You must come to my rescue! Send people to save me!” Lucas cried out at the top of his lungs.

Kneel for three whole days? That’s not happening! Do you think that I, one of the three ringleaders of the Prince Gang, will bow my knees before anyone? How very insulting! But I can only place my hope on the reinforcements now!

It went without saying that the news of Lucas being detained must not reach the ear of Zoey.

For this reason, he was transferred to Guardian Mansion.

By this time, the walls and doors in the compound had been fixed.

“Kneel!” A commanding voice could be heard.

However, Lucas wouldn’t give in to the order.

Thud!

Azure Dragon kicked the back of his knees, and he immediately fell onto the ground.

Shortly, his hands and feet were bounded.

At the same time, there were many large dogs keeping watch over him.

The pain and humiliation had almost caused even a man like Lucas to weep.

He became increasingly infuriated when the thought of having to go through this odious experience for another three days crossed his mind.

Yet, things surely didn’t go well for him as a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth.

This was the most tormenting moment of his life.

Even if I managed to survive this ordeal, I’d be the laughingstock of all.

Levi had none but one single rule: as long as his prisoner didn’t die from starvation, anything would be fine.

Therefore, his subordinates paid little attention to the one who was on his knees.

With the situation getting out of hand, the escaped members of the Prince Gang returned to South Hampton as quickly as they could.

Naturally, none of them dared to inform their own families after getting themselves into such a big trouble, let alone the Quinn family.

Thus, they hurriedly reached out to the remaining two ringleaders of the Prince Gang early the next morning.

One of them was the leader of the Prince Gang, Jaron Goel, who was awarded the epithet “Prince”.

He was the most outstanding man among the younger generations in South Hampton and happened to be the heir to the biggest royal family in the city – the Goel family.

Be it strength, capabilities, background, or the other aspects, he excelled in all of them.

Not to mention his unchallenged mastery in the Ancient Arts of Qi.

Rumor had it that he could go toe to toe with Grover.

Surely, no one dared to challenge his position as the leader of the Prince Gang.

Thus, all the young heirs of the prominent families in South Hampton would regard him as the “Prince”.

At the present moment, Jaron was wearing a bathrobe while gazing at the men in front of him.

There was a worried expression on his handsome face as he declared, “Since this matter is pertaining to the Prince Gang, I shall deal with it personally!”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 785

“Give the order to everyone! Gather all our forces and we shall head to South City at once!” Jaron commanded.

Once the instruction was given, the other ringleader, who was regarded as an equal to Lucas, Jackson hastened to gather his men right away.

With that, all the Prince Gang’s top fighters were assembled and left for South City together.

It was considered the biggest incident that had ever happened to the Prince Gang over the past decade.

Not only did one of their ringleaders take a beating, but he was also detained.

It was beyond an insult to them.

To them, preserving their honor was more important than their own lives.

If they lost it, they would use every means to get it back.

The Prince Gang was utterly enraged this time that even their notorious Prince had come in person.

Yadriel was stunned when he heard this.

“Even the Prince himself is coming?” He was clearly surprised by the fact.

“It seems like Jaron has brought all his top fighters with him this time. He must be really pissed.”

“Jaron is an arrogant person. He answers to no one other than that man. This time however, he’s gonna get hurt as his target is you-know-who.” Yadriel sighed.

“Sir, should we give them a heads up?” One of his subordinates queried.

“Do you have a death wish? The purpose of detaining Lucas is so that he could get rid of the Prince Gang once and for all. Why are you trying to get us involved in their battle?” Yadriel glared at his man.

Lucas was totally exhausted after kneeling all night, and for that reason, his body quivered uncontrollably.

If it wasn’t for the binding ropes, he would’ve fallen to the ground.

He had fainted around seven or eight times throughout the entire night.

Lucas was someone with great stamina from his routine martial art practice. If even he couldn’t stand it, it proved just how unbearably torturing it’d be like for an average joe.

Any normal person would’ve met their demise after kneeling for such a long period with untreated injuries and inflammation.

Even Lucas himself knew that he could only hold on for another full day at most.

He could be in grave danger if this were to go on.

“Why are they not here yet?” Lucas was on the verge of total breakdown.

He cried so much last night that even his tears had dried off.

Being treated like a house dog was the part that infuriated him the most.

The food he was given looked exactly like kibble.

Yet, in order to gain energy, he had no choice but to eat them.

This was definitely the darkest and most humiliating moment in his entire life!

His honor and dignity had been utterly trampled by Levi, so he could never get over it unless Levi was killed by his own hands.

Vroom…

Just as he was about to fall into despair, the sound of car engines could be heard from afar.

Lucas forced his drooping eyes to open and peered toward the sound. His eyes gleamed the moment he identified its source.

Y’all are finally here!

Joyful tears spilled out from his eyes. Had it not been for the rag in his mouth, he would like to let out a few shouts.

A while later, dozens of cars came to a stop in front of the Guardian Mansion, and hundreds of men got out of their vehicles.

Among them stood their leaders, Jaron and Jackson.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 786

The second Lucas saw the Prince, he knew this issue was as good as resolved.

He was not afraid of Levi’s connection with the Southern Union anymore because Jaron was greater than them.

Jaron wouldn’t compromise especially when it came to dealing with the issues of the Prince Gang.

Hahahaha… Lucas laughed inwardly.
