Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1271
Back then, Winsor had defeated Levi, but people ignored his accomplishments.
So he wished to fight against Levi once again, showing the world he could defeat Levi every time.
I’m stronger than Levi Garrison!
However, he got the opportunity to challenge The Calamity instead.
After all, people perceived The Calamity as invincible, and they were practically unstoppable.
If I can defeat them… This accomplishment holds incredible merit. I can prove that I’m stronger than Levi and be the God of War.
“Trolls, I dare you to insult me. As for those who looked down on me, take a good look. I defeated North Sky Lord of The Calamity. Does anyone still think that I’m weaker than Levi Garrison? Come out, now!” Winsor shouted at the rest of the world with no concerns.
He had been suppressing his emotions for too long, and he finally got the chance to vent his frustrations out loud for everyone to hear.
Witnessing the outcome of the battle, those who once looked down on Winsor and supported Levi fell silent as they regretted their actions.
From now on, no one dares to look down on me!
The accomplishment of taking down The Calamity holds incredible merits, and I am the one who earns this glory.
The power he showed convinced everyone, and they acknowledged him as the God of War.
“From now on, Winsor Campbell is the only God of War in my heart!”
With that, Winsor Campbell got the title “God of War” and made a status for himself in Erudia.
He defeated The Calamity, showing the world the greatness of Erudia while solidifying Erudia’s position in the world.
The Calamity that was once invincible was defeated in Erudia.
This was the symbol of Erudia’s strength.
And Levi’s intention all along.
I don’t care if I don’t have the title of the God of War. I only wish for the prosperity of Erudia.
I’ll eliminate any threat of Erudia until the day I die, so the Erudians will not be humiliated by other countries.
Even if it means shouldering all the pain and sufferings.
Looking at Winsor Campbell’s arrogant behavior, North Sky Lord, East Sky Lord, and the rest of The Calamity clenched their fists, their fingernails digging into their palms.
Ugh!
This is absurd!
North Sky Lord could’ve crushed him.
Yet, only one could understand their frustration.
And that was Levi.
He, too, wanted to defeat Winsor for his self-satisfaction, but Erudia’s reputation was at stake.
For Erudia, I’m willing to bear any humiliation.
Winsor Campbell won.
The forces overseas were dumbstruck, as they couldn’t believe it.
According to their speculations, North Sky Lord was much stronger than Winsor Campbell. Hence, they felt that something was amiss that Winsor actually won.
It was way too unexpected.
They had many headlines on standby, waiting for North Sky Lord’s victory so that they could spread the news and mock Erudia for its downfall.
But their plan short circuited.
Instead, Erudia had shown the world once again its greatness and indestructible power.
Once again, Erudia’s enemies were infuriated because they couldn’t do anything to Erudia.
That was exactly what Levi wanted to achieve.
Meanwhile, Winsor was giddy with delight.
Looking at the members of The Calamity with disdain, he snorted coldly, “A bunch of bumpkins!”
I can bring down each and every single one of them!
How spectacular would it be if they clash against Master or the Great Family of Frostford? They would definitely lose miserably.
“Hear my words, The Calamity. I allow you guys to move around in Erudia. But I can wipe you out in minutes, so don’t try something out of line.” Winsor warned.
North Sky Lord was enraged when he heard his words. “Does your strength measure up to your arrogance?”
Winsor turned to look at him and scoffed. “Hmph! What a sore loser! Do you have a problem with that? Fight me again, and we’ll see who’s the winner!”
“Bring it on!” North Sky Lord shouted, not giving in to his opponent.
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1272
“Alright, come on then! I’ll beat you again so that you’ll accept your defeat without complaints.”
Winsor decided to defeat his opponent twice so that he would finally admit it.
“There’s no need for that. We admit our defeat. We’re simply not as good as you.”
It wasn’t until Levi spoke that North Sky Lord dropped the matter.
Winsor looked at him with a cold smile. “Good that you’re aware. Next time you see me, remember to walk the other way. I never want to hear about The Calamity causing trouble in Erudia ever again!”
With that, Winsor finally left with thousands of people clamoring to follow him.
North Sky Lord was furious.
This was definitely one of the most humiliating things that had ever happened to him.
I could have won!
But I was forced to lose!
However, he held back for Erudia.
He didn’t know much, but he was still part of Erudia, after all.
“Master, when can I beat that little punk into a pulp?” North Sky Lord asked.
“It will probably be a while, but don’t you worry. It won’t be too far off,” Levi said in a cold voice.
He still had to keep playing this role for the time being.
It simply wasn’t time to reveal everything just yet. As such, The Calamity could only work in the shadows.
That being said, North Sky Lord believed that things would go back to normal one day.
When that happened, he would beat Winsor Campbell to a pulp.
“Master, where are we going next?” Zar couldn’t help but ask.
“Since we’re already in North Hampton, let’s go take a look at Levi’s kid,” Winsor smirked sinisterly.
Zoey and the others had already heard about the news regarding Winsor.
The news of him beating The Calamity had spread across the world.
He was now regarded as the true king.
And no one would dare challenge Winsor now.
Zoey and Emma had just been talking about how Levi owned that title when suddenly, Winsor arrived at their doorstep.
“What are you doing here?” Zoey asked as she looked at him warily.
“I’m here to take a look at your child with Levi,” Winsor said with a smile.
“Why do you want to look at our kid for?” Zoey was getting nervous.
After all, Zar had personally chased Levi out of Erudia.
As such, her instincts were screaming that Winsor was not to be trusted.
“Don’t worry. I just want to take a quick peek. Besides, I have no reason to do anything to you all. After all, none of you are worth the hassle. Even if Levi were still alive, he wouldn’t be worth it either.”
Zar and the others chuckled. “Levi never had a chance against Master. Their capabilities are just too far apart.”
“Don’t you dare speak ill of Daddy!”
Forlevia ran over the moment she heard those words and glared at them as fiercely as her cute little face would allow.
She was holding onto a toy gun that she held pointed toward Winsor and the others.
Her little face was filled with stubbornness and her eyes shone with determination.
Winsor chuckled at the sight. “Would you look at that! I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! You definitely take after your father. Too bad, though, since you’re a girl. If you were a boy, Zoey could have sent you to learn martial arts so you could grow up and maybe have a chance at beating me!”
Winsor roared with laughter.
His shrill chuckle was beginning to grate on Zoey’s ears.
She picked Forlevia up and looked at Winsor coldly. “Don’t worry. She may be a girl, but who’s to say she won’t be able to rule over the battleground in the future? You’d better keep praying that you’re able to hold on to your position. Who knows? Perhaps my daughter might come and take it away from you someday.”
Winsor bellowed with laughter. “Okay, sure! I’ll be waiting! However, I hope you all know that everyone already obeys me. Levi is now a thing of the past. This is now my era! The era of Winsor Campbell!”
After that, Winsor left.
Zoey felt like exploding in anger.
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1273
If Levi weren’t injured or crippled, he would have been the one standing at the top.
Zoey had always been proud of Levi.
Sadly, Levi was now a crippled man. If he weren’t, Winsor would have been no match for him.
She knew that he had been framed, but no one wanted to believe it.
Besides, they all thought he was dead, anyway.
All she could do was watch as Winsor gloated to everyone and anyone.
After Winsor defeated The Calamity, people started treating him like a God.
They saw him as a God who descended from the heavens, ready to save the people from earthly troubles.
They bowed to Winsor and never mentioned Levi again.
If they dared to bring Levi’s name up, they would be labeled as blasphemous.
For his part, Levi still thought the same way. He was willing to withstand this humiliation for Erudia’s sake.
As for Zoey, she had put all her attention into keeping Morris Group running smoothly even though the Lopez and Black families didn’t give her any pressure.
She was mostly worried that people would start trying to get them in trouble.
She was more than aware of the fact that Levi’s enemies would start coming for the company once the news of him getting injured got out.
The Triple Group, for example, had made a reappearance in Erudia.
Back then, it was Levi who had chased them out.
Now that Levi was gone, they grabbed the opportunity to make a comeback.
After all, it wasn’t possible for them to let go of such a promising market like Erudia.
Apparently, the main perpetrator of Triple Group’s reemergence in Erudia was Lee Jeong-seok of Daelee Group.
Daelee Group held an almost legendary presence in Keerea.
Most of the other young masters only held that title for the sake of it, but in Daelee Group, that title symbolized power.
Lee Jeong-seok was the representation of being rich and powerful.
In order to take over Erudia’s market again, Triple Group had sent him to take the lead, which showed just how serious they were in taking this venture.
Triple Group managed to set down its roots through connections and their vast amount of funding.
There was even talk of them collaborating with the Garrison clan.
Iris and the other council members immediately called for a meeting. “Triple Group will most likely come for us next. We have to be prepared!”
Zoey was beginning to worry as well.
Even though Morris Group had control over a vast part of the South, they were still no match for Triple Group.
At the end of the day, Triple Group beat the Garrison clan in terms of both money and power.
No matter how much the Garrison clan worked to expand, they were still just a family business.
However, Triple Group was an internationally powerful company.
If it weren’t for Levi, Triple Group would never have stepped down.
Now that Levi collapsed, they immediately leaped back out of the shadows, ready to take control once more.
After all, everyone knew how shameless Triple Group was.
This was basically how they do things normally.
“All we can do is stay prepared and be alert.”
On the other side of town, Tyrone was greeting his guests with the utmost solemnity.
His guest arrived in a procession of Rolls-Royce’s and their bodyguards were all Caucasian.
Every move he made was in an ostentatious manner, similar to how Damien presented himself when he was alive.
Still, the Garrison family knew that he was a much greater deal than Damien ever was.
His bodyguards consisted of quite a few Ultimate class warriors, after all.
In Bayview, only Lee Jeong-seok had the abilities and capabilities to have God class and Ultimate class warriors as part of his bodyguard lineup.
The Daelee Group was simply that rich.
Anything and anyone could be bought with enough money, and Ultimate class warriors were no exception.
The purpose Lee Jeong-seok was here that day was to talk about a collaboration with Tyrone and the rest of the Garrison family.
“Two years ago, Levi chased Triple Group out of Erudia and forbade us from ever stepping foot in it again. But now that he’s gone, we’ve returned and we’re back with a vengeance. None of Levi’s family members will be safe.”
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1274
Jeong-seok’s eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty look.
His perfect, chiseled face had become twisted in hatred and anger.
There were two reasons why Triple Group had returned to Erudia. One was for profit and the other was to get revenge.
“Mr. Garrison, I’m sure you have no objection with that, right?” Jeong-seok turned to look at Tyrone.
“Of course not! Everyone knows that I’ve never accepted that bastard into my family, much less bother about him. I just haven’t been able to do anything to his direct family members because of my reputation, but rest assured, I don’t hate him any less than you all do. In fact, I hope you target his wife or daughter!” Tyrone chuckled loudly.
The Garrison family had sworn against showing any kindness toward Levi.
After all, he had nearly gotten rid of their entire bloodline.
He had greatly humiliated them.
More than anyone, he deserved to die.
“Good, that’s all I needed to hear from you. I promise to make his wife and daughter wish they’d never been born,” Jeong-seok said with a wicked smile.
“No! No… No-”
All of a sudden, Olivia barged in and started mumbling haphazardly.
Tyrone was taken aback.
The reason being Olivia had only ever repeated the words “ghost” over and over and never anything else.What happened? Why is she suddenly saying“no?”
“What the hell is this? Where did this psycho come from?” Jeong-seok asked, clearly irritated.
Tyrone didn’t even have the chance to think about anything else before calling for people to take her away.
Unbeknownst to him, if he had given Olivia the chance to repeat herself a couple more times, Tyrone would have noticed that something was up.
Tyrone hastily explained her situation. Afterward, Jeong-seok continued going through his plan.
“I heard Levi’s mother is dreadfully old, but I could always send her off to the slums in the West. The sickos there don’t even leave animals untouched!” Jeong-seok started laughing maniacally.
Tyrone, however, was rather ruffled by that. After all, that was Emma Jones he was talking about.
Nonetheless, he quickly replaced his shock with icy cold indifference.I have to be merciless if I want to succeed!
“Okay, we’ll do as you say!”
Jeong-seok continued to chuckle. “As for Zoey, she’s an even better delicacy! If she didn’t have a child, I’d have loved to have a taste of her. But, as the situation stands now, I know a seventy-year-old pervert in the West who just married his twenty-ninth wife. We can sell Zoey off to him! They’d be a perfect match.”
“Good idea! There’s nothing more satisfying than the idea of selling Levi’s wife off to an old geezer on his deathbed,” Tyrone bellowed in approval before asking, “What about his kid?”
Jeong-seok’s grin became even wider. “That’s even easier! Do you know how many pedophiles are out there nowadays? Besides, Levi’s daughter is a definite beauty. Once she grows older, she’ll be the talk of the town! A sweet little girl like her will probably have those old perverts panting and forking out money by the millions. In fact, I’ll host an auction just to sell off Levi’s daughter! Whoever bid the highest shall become the owner of Levi’s daughter!”
Tyrone howled with laughter at the thought of perverted old men scrambling to own Levi’s daughter.
“As for Iris, Abigail, Mia, and Tiffany… I’ll make them into slaves! I’ll make sure they get well and truly screwed over to the point they’ll start to yearn for death.”
“As expected of the Lee family’s young master!” Tyrone couldn’t help but praise.
The Daelee Group had almost exactly the same ideas he had.
Jeong-seok chuckled. “Levi, this is the consequence of you messing with the Triple Group. We have more ideas up our sleeves than you can even think of.”
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1275
Jeong-seok’s smile widened creepily as he radiated murderous intent.
Seeing that, the members of the Garrison family shuddered instinctively.
They had heard of how cruel Daelee Group was and how ruthless their methods could be, which was why no one dared to mess with them.
In Bayview, Daelee Group was truly a force to be reckoned with.
Jeong-seok patted Tyrone on the shoulders. “Cooperate with us and you’ll get to reap what we sow too.”
Tyrone’s biggest wish was to break out of Erudia and make it into the international market.
The Lee family could help him do just that.
That’s why he was so willing to bend over backward to give Triple Group anything they wanted and help them settle everything within Erudia.
Triple Group worked fast and their actions were precise.
It wasn’t before long that they managed to fix their position in the market.
They had made their move so fast, in fact, that no one had expected it.
First, they took over the North and the South.
After that, they settled in North and South Hampton.
As a result, Morris Group suffered greatly under Triple Group’s attack.
After facing them headfirst a couple of times, Morris Group had no choice but to admit defeat.
Triple Group was simply too strong.
Even with Morris Group’s recent success, they had gotten severely defeated. If they were the Morris Group of the past, Triple Group would have devoured them in a second.
At the same time, Pinnacle Group was starting to sanction them too.
Under the attack of two big groups, Morris Group suffered huge losses.
Their resources were all cut off and their market value dropped rapidly.
To make matters worse, ban after ban was laid onto the workers of Morris Group, which made it difficult for them to find places to stay or even keep food on the table.
They would even get terrorized from time to time.
It wasn’t before long that the workers started to leave one by one.
They were barely able to keep their lives at this point, much less their money and housing.
In just three days, more than a hundred council members and countless ordinary staff members had resigned.
Morris Group was going through its worst hit yet.
They were already a mess on the inside while they were being pressured with sanctions from the outside.
The company was on its verge of collapsing.
Triple Group had even arrived to openly cause trouble, causing more losses to Morris Group.
Even Tyrone was taken aback.
Seems like Triple Group really had plenty of nasty tricks up their sleeve.
They didn’t care about their reputation at all.
All they cared about was cornering Morris Group no matter what sneaky tactics they had to use.
Meanwhile, Iris and the other remaining council members were being harassed on a daily basis.
Her house had long since been broken into and every part of the house had been turned over.
Even her clothes had been strewn everywhere. They weren’t even trying to cover their tracks.
As for the others, they faced much worse situations.
Their pets, for example, had gotten brutally murdered and whoever killed them had taken their time to leave blood on every inch of the room possible.
This was no longer a business matter. It was a matter of life and death.
It was impossible for anyone to last in such an environment.
Finally, Morris Group decided to hold an executive meeting.
“Ms. Lopez, we have no way to beat Triple Group. We can’t do anything else. If we continue on like this, we’re all going to go crazy!”
All of the council members were sufficiently terrified.
Iris said through gritted teeth, “The gap between both companies is too big to be bridged by sheer hard work. Besides, they’ve made things personal. Zoey, even I can barely hold on at this point.”
Zoey knew that better than anyone.
She was probably the most anxious one there.
The sudden halt of the company’s operation was especially taxing on her.
“Who else has any ideas?” Zoey asked.
“We’ve discussed and we think we should try to compromise with Triple Group.”
“Yeah! No matter what terms and conditions they throw at us, we’ll agree to it. Anything is better than what we’re facing now.”
This was the council’s first consensus.
After a bit of thought, Zoey agreed. “Alright, let’s have a talk with Triple Group.”
She had her secretary contact Triple Group, who agreed to meet up.
Jeong-seok was going to talk to Zoey personally.
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1276
Everything was going according to Jeong-seok’s plan.
He had wanted to force Zoey to talk to him personally from the very start.
Clearly, his plans had worked.
Tyrone was taken aback by Triple Group’s efficiency once again. He had also imposed sanctions upon Morris Group before, but with much less satisfactory results.
The more cruel, the better.
Obviously, Triple Group is willing to be much crueler than the Garrison family had been.
This is what it meant to be truly ruthless!
Tyrone was full of respect toward their cruelty.
He realized how much he still had to learn.
The place of discussion would be held at Morris Group’s council room.
Jeong-seok’s entrance remained as flashy as ever.
Over twenty cars marked his arrival along with a private jet.
All of the bodyguards he brought with him were Ultimate and God class warriors.
There were more warriors next to Jeong-seok than there were on the average battlefield.
All that proved was how powerful the Lee family truly was.
They could accomplish things even the Eighteen-Nation Alliance couldn’t.
The moment Jeong-seok and his party arrived, members of Morris Group were taken aback.
We’re actually going against someone this intimidating?
Zoey and some others were already waiting for him in the large conference room.
Their demands were simple, which was to work and live peacefully.
They already had little to no expectations.
No matter what ridiculous conditions Triple Group forced on them, they could only accept it.
Once he stepped into the conference room, Jeong-seok took one look at Zoey and sighed. “As expected, what a national beauty. Such a pity indeed!”
If she hadn’t gotten married and didn’t already have a kid, Jeong-seok would have had a go at her himself.
After the two of them sat down, Zoey didn’t hesitate to ask, “Mr. Lee, we’ve never messed with Triple Group before, have we? So why are you doing this to us?”
Jeong-seok was toying with an intricate dagger as he replied, “Because of Levi Garrison.”
“What?” Zoey said in surprise.
She hadn’t expected Jeong-seok to come right out of the gate like that.
“That’s right! Two years ago, Levi chased Triple Group out of Erudia. Now, we’re back for revenge. Everything we’ve done so for was for revenge!” Jeong-seok announced.
Instantly, the atmosphere started to change.
Many Morris Group’s council members who had risen to position a little later on started to glare at Zoey.
They all felt that the hundreds of thousands of workers in Morris Group had been dragged along for no good reason.
At the end of the day, it was all because of Zoey’s personal business.
We’re all about to die because of her!
Zoey could feel how the situation was starting to take a turn for the worse.
Jeong-seok chuckled coldly and said, “What, isn’t Levi here? Is he just going to let me trample over his company and his people like this?”
His subordinate instantly replied, “Mr. Lee, Levi Garrison is already dead.”
“Oh? Is that so? What brilliant news!” Jeong-seok laughed, elated by the news.
Zoey clenched her fists tightly and replied in a cold voice, “If my husband was here, none of you would have even dared to step into this building!”
Zoey’s words struck the Triple Group members’ nerves instantly.
They started chattering in anger.
“Bullsh*t! Even if he were here, he wouldn’t have managed to stop us!”
“Who does he think he is? He can’t even hold a candle to the Lee family of Keerea!”
Even Jeong-seok chuckled. “Ah, it’s too bad that he’s dead, then. I’d love for him to come here and beat me up if he could!”
“Just wait. It will happen one day!” Zoey nearly said too much in her fit of rage.
“I’m looking forward to it! If you can resurrect the dead, of course!”
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1277
Jeong-seok was too cocky for his own good.
It was as if there was a giant bulls-eye on his face, just waiting for someone to shoot a bullet through it.
The Lee family is nothing but despicable!
Zoey and Iris could only stare in disgust.
Why didn’t they come when Levi was still crowned as the God of War?
They were obviously scared!
They were only able to be this cocky because Levi’s no longer here.
Jeong-seok continued chuckling. “Well, he hasn’t shown up after all this while. I guess he must be fuming in hell, huh?”
The crowd burst into laughter.
“Since you’re here, let’s have a chat. What will it take for you to let Morris Group off?” Zoey asked directly.
The council members of Morris Group started to get nervous.
It was time to decide their fate.
Jeong-seok looked at Zoey. “It’s simple, hand over your position as chairman.”
That one sentence struck them like a bolt of lightning, leaving them speechless.
They hadn’t expected for Jeong-seok to be this daring.
“So, you want Ms. Lopez to step down so you can gobble the company up? No way!” Iris said defiantly.
Jeong-seok shook his head. “No, you got me wrong. I don’t care about Morris Group. I just want Zoey to step down. Whoever wants to be chairman next can take it.”
The council members of the Morris Group sighed in relief upon hearing that.
Jeong-seok stared at Zoey with a chilly grin on his face. “Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for your staff?”
Some of the council members started to speak up, “Ms. Lopez, we don’t like this outcome too, but you have to think about the greater good!”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lopez, we’ll take good care of the company!”
They were basically trying to chase Zoey off as soon as possible so that they would be free of this mess.
Zoey glanced at the crowd and hesitated before saying, “Okay, I’ll step down as long as you agree to stop attacking Morris Group.”
“Of course! In fact, I’m willing to sign a contract so that you can freely expose me if I ever go against my word,” Jeong-seok said with a chuckle.
What he said was the truth, he was not interested in Morris Group.
After all, he had already achieved his goal of obtaining Erudia’s market.
Now, all that was left to do was to torture Zoey and the others.
“Alright, I’ll sign it!”
Zoey signed the contract without any hesitation and stepped down from her position as chairman and everything else concerned with it.
She would no longer be associated with Morris Group from then on.
“You, you, and you!” Jeong-seok pointed at Iris, Elena, and some other council members.
He wanted to get rid of their positions as well.
He had to be merciless and ruthless so that he could cut off any likelihood of retaliation.
That was just how Triple Group operates.
“Are you happy now? We’ve done everything you asked us to!” Zoey asked.
Jeong-seok thought for a moment and piped up, “One more thing! Levi probably named this company “Morris Group” after his best friend, right? Well, I want to change the name!”
“No!” Zoey declined instantly.
Iris and the others shook their heads as well.
This wasn’t just Levi’s hard work, it was theirs, too.
They would never agree to change the name just like that.
Jeong-seok glared at them and said, “It’s not your place to say ‘no’. All of you no longer have anything to do with Morris Group! Also, all of you should leave since you don’t belong here anymore.”
With that, Zoey and the other few ex-council members were chased out.
They stared at the office building, their gaze full of despair.
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1278
For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of employees working at Morris Group, Zoey knew she had to rest her case.
She could take on Triple Group.
She knew she still had it in her.
However, it would cost tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs. Some of them might lose their families as a result, while a few might even sacrifice their lives.
“What a bully. If only Levi was still alive!” Iris lamented.
Zoey shot her a look fraught with emotion.
Levi’s still alive.
But just barely.
He’ll be bedridden for the rest of his life.
If he finds out about this, he’ll just fuss and worry.
He might even shed tears of frustration.
Angry that he’ll only be able to watch, and powerless to help in any way.
That feeling of helplessness could very well send him over the edge!
I can’t let him know.
What’s the point if he finds out? More cooks will only spoil the broth.
Although Jeong-seok promised to let Morris Group off and to abstain from subsuming the company, he continuously forced Morris Group to conduct business in accordance with his own development plans.
He manipulated the company like another one of his toys.
Jeong-seok even sent out an announcement declaring that Morris Group was to be renamed Castle Group.
Zoey and the rest were outraged at the news.
We’ve been cheated!
How shameless can he get?
Despicable!
He promised to set Morris Group free. He even signed a letter of promise.
How could he do such a thing…
He basically stamped his mark of ownership by renaming the company.
What a vile person!
This is the true colors of Triple Group, after all!
Abiding by ethics is against their nature.
That very same day, Morris Group held a press conference to officially announce the name change. Lee Hong-yi was appointed as the chairman.
Lee Hong-yi was a Keerean who used to work as a technician for Morris Group.
Now, he had rocketed through the ranks to sit on the company’s throne.
This could only be Jeong-seok’s doing.
Instead of personally interfering with Morris Group, he installed a conduit.
Now, he had the chairman under his thumb.
The company was as good as his.
Despite her rage, there was nothing the likes of Zoey could do.
The only silver lining was that the company still existed and none of the employees had to lose their jobs.
However, this was only the beginning.
This was only the tip of the iceberg of Jeong-seok’s scheme.
Abigail and Tiffany had been kidnapped under mysterious circumstances at Oakland City. The Meyers family was boiling with anger and incredulity, but all they could do was watch.
Not only that, Levi’s classmate, Chloe, had also been snatched.
So was Mia from the South Hampton Jones family.
The Jones family did not even dare to look for her.
Apparently, they had been issued a warning.
When Abigail, Tiffany, and the rest awoke, they found themselves locked up in a makeshift cell.
In front of them stood a tall man with breathtaking features. His lip curled into a devilish smirk.
Jeong-seok was the one who had gathered them.
“After extensive investigation, I have concluded that, besides Zoey Lopez, you are the women closest to Levi Garrison.”
“If someone were to come after you, Levi is sure to come to your aid.” Jeong-seok laughed menacingly.
“What do you plan to do?” Tiffany sneered.
“From today onwards, you will become my slaves. As long as you bear the mark of the slave, none of you will be able to escape!”
Just as Iris was about to release her wrath, Jeong-seok continued, “Zoey and the rest will not be spared, either!”
“Emma Jones will be sold to the slums of a foreign country and she’ll be shared by a bunch of hooligans! As for Zoey Lopez, I’ll marry her off to some sleazy old man. Finally, Levi’s daughter will be auctioned off to some pervert!”
Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1279
Jeong-seok had prepared a horrible outcome for every woman closely affiliated with Levi.
The thought of his plan playing out brought a smile to Jeong-seok’s face.
“Despicable!”
“Where was this courage of yours when my brother-in-law was still around?” Abigail shrieked furiously.
“Exactly! You’re nothing but a conniving rat! You’ll never amount to anything!”
“No wonder Triple Group is such a scummy company! You’re only capable of such deeds! How pathetic!” the women taunted, their voices banding together.
Little did they know that their attempt to aggravate Jeong-seok was futile.
In fact, it made Jeong-seok grin even wider.
“What’s the point of you saying all these? Sure, I’m a conniving rat. So what? Too bad Levi’s dead. I have his wife, daughter, and mother in my clutches. How is he going to retaliate?” Jeong-seok mocked.
“You…”
The women were stunned speechless.
What could they do in the face of such blatant brazenness?
“My brother-in-law might not be around, but karma will still get you!”
Abigail shot daggers at Jeong-seok.
“You’ll definitely encounter retribution one day!” the other women chimed in.
“Whatever. The lot of you are destined to be my slaves from now on. This way, you’ll have front-row seats to the so-called retribution that you speak of.” Jeong-seok retorted.
It was at this moment that one of his lackeys came running in. “Sir, the people from overseas have agreed. Emma Jones can be sold to the slums there at any time! They’ll be sure to torture her even without our instructions. Her remaining days will be a living hell!” the lackey sniggered.
“The head of Noir Group, Mr. Williams, will be arriving at North Hampton tonight! He is extremely anxious to marry Zoey Lopez!”
Jeong-seok let out a peal of delight. “That old pervert! How many young girls’ lives has he ruined over the years? The number must be in the thousands by now.”
“Exactly. How many wives has he had? I heard that several of them were tortured to death!”
Even Jeong-seok himself was utterly disgusted by the man.
“Alright, I shall prepare to receive him tonight!”
Jeong-seok locked up the women again and waited for nightfall to descend.
At night, Jeong-seok personally went to the airport to welcome Mr. Williams of Noir Group.
He held the same social standing as the Daelee Group did in Keera.
As such, he was not a man to be trifled with.
Soon, Jeong-seok saw a line of people from Noir Group at the airport.
Mr. Williams was helped out of the plane by a few of his men.
His features screamed lechery. He was almost bald and had a pair of squinty eyes which he used to scan his surroundings.
The sight of his mouthful of yellowed teeth would be enough to turn anyone’s stomach.
He was definitely the most repulsive man Jeong-seok had ever seen.
However, his subordinates could only greet him with smiles plastered on their faces.
He was practically king, after all.
“Mr. Williams!” Jeong-seok greeted cheerily.
“Hello, Mr. Lee! I just want to say that not only do I want Levi Garrison’s wife, but also his mother and daughter! Oh, and his sister as well! I want them all. We’ll have so much fun together! State your price; I can’t wait to have all of them!” Mr. Williams giggled. His excitement was obvious.
When he heard that Jeong-seok was planning to get rid of those women, he knew he had to make them his.
Jeong-seok was not surprised by Mr. Williams’ request.
He’s always been like this!
Always so greedy about such things!
“No problem! However, I plan to hold an auction for Levi’s daughter. I’ve already sent word out so I’ll have to go through with it,” Jeong-seok replied.
“Sure. I’ll make sure I’m the highest bidder!” Mr. Williams squealed in delight.

Jeong-seok chuckled. “What I want is simple. I want to own twenty-five percent of your petroleum production operations in the northwest of Senia.”
Mr. Williams hesitated.
He did not expect Jeong-seok to have such a voracious appetite.
But this way I’ll be able to snag not only the wife but also the daughter and mother of the God of War.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
“Fine, you got it!” Williams proclaimed.
Jeong-seok beamed.
Not only am I going to make Levi’s life terrible, but I also managed to clinch part ownership of petroleum production operations!
That’s killing two birds with one stone!
Both parties were in agreement.
Jeong-seok led Mr. Williams to the lodgings.
“Mr. Lee, do you think that tonight…”
Mr. Williams had come from a far-flung corner of the world and was ready to indulge in all of his hedonistic desires.
He did not want to wait a second longer.
Jeong-seok kept a smile hanging off his lips. “Please have patience, Mr. Williams. We can do whatever you want tomorrow when everyone will have arrived.”
Mr. Williams considered Jeong-seok’s words for a while before finally assenting to the latter’s suggestion.
We’re talking about the beloved women of the God of War!
The loved ones of that almighty man, with enough power to rival multiple countries, will be mine to do away with as I please.
This is amazing. I can’t wait!
Both men’s spirits were sky-high.
They had never been so elated in their lives.
Meanwhile, Zoey was still safe for the time being.
However, she could not seem to contact Iris or Abigail.
Emma dashed up to her in a panicked frenzy. “Zoey, something terrible happened! Mia has been kidnapped by Triple Group! They’re clearly issuing us a challenge. They even threatened to auction off Evie!”
“What?”
Zoey’s rage spiked through the roof.
They want to auction off my child?
How could she tolerate it?
If only Triple Group wasn’t so powerful…
“Why don’t we just pack up and leave? We can’t stay here. We’re no match for Triple Group; they’re too strong!” Zoey suggested.
She had long been toying with the idea of going off the grid.
“We can’t. When I came back, I realized that we’re surrounded! There’s no way we’ll be able to leave!”
Emma’s face fell.
Triple Group had closed them in completely. No one could escape.
“Triple Group never had any intention of letting us go!”
Zoey had no choice but to plead with Dale for help.
“I desperately want to save you and Evie, too. Unfortunately, I can’t go against the Daelee Group. Even Tyrone is at their beck and call! For the sake of the family, I have no other option but to sacrifice you!”
Dale hung up.
The Daelee Group was no different from Frostford to him.
Getting on the wrong side of either one could potentially spell complete annihilation for him and his family.
Zoey was spiraling in the pits of despair.
Who can we turn to now?
“Are we just going to sit here and wait for our deaths?”
Zoey and Emma were despondent.
This time, it was Forlevia who made a call. She dialed a number. “Call Daddy! Daddy will save us!”
Despite her young age, she often talked to Levi on the phone.
She immediately called her father.
Levi’s voice was soon heard from the receiver, “Evie? Daddy’s here!”
Forlevia burst into tears. “Daddy, come quickly! Someone is bullying us! Come and save us!”
“Hold on, Evie. I’ll be there before you know it. Don’t cry. Wait for me!”
The call from his daughter turned Levi’s anxiety up to the maximum.
“Why are you calling your father, Evie?”
Zoey and Emma sighed.
There’s no point in telling Levi about this.
He can’t even move.
How will he save us?
