The Return of God of War Chapter 1301
This was supposed to be a family meeting, but they excluded Aaron and Caitlyn.
They were afraid these two would oppose their course.
Nonetheless, Zoey’s words put frowns on everyone’s brows.
“What’s with you? Everyone agreed! Who do you think you are? You are in no place to betray your whole family.”
Meredith and Harry were infuriated at Zoey’s relentless resistance.
“It’s not that I don’t agree with y’all. Morris Group doesn’t belong to me, to begin with. It belongs to Levi. Besides, there are also other major shareholders. This is not something I can decide on my own,” Zoey retorted.
“Stop giving excuses! The company is still under you even if it belongs to Levi. He’s your husband, so you’ll have to make a decision for him with his condition now.”
Jennie’s harsh remarks vexed Forlevia.
“Don’t talk to my mom like that!”
Meanwhile, Zoey smirked listening to their remarks. “I know you guys have an ulterior motive, so stop giving me all this bullsh*t about working together as three families for the common good. All of you have your eyes set on Morris Group, isn’t it?”
“So what? I admit it. Morris Group is what we want.” Henry was not even trying to hide his greed and anger.
“You can’t just enjoy a good life yourself and not care about your family. This is what you owe the Lopez and the Black family.”
They knew they could not conceal their true colors anymore, so they became shamelessly blatant about their demand, but Zoey was fixed on defending what was hers.
“Then let me say this once and for all. There’s no way I’m giving up Morris Group.”
With that said, she carried Forlevia in her arms and left.
“Fine! Go ahead then, but let me warn you, we will never acknowledge that child as one of us.”
Jennie’s voice rang loud and clear as Zoey and her daughter walked out the door.
“What did you just say?”
Zoey stopped and turned around slowly, drilling her gaze through everyone present.
Her reaction emboldened Jennie. “Isn’t she Levi’s child? Why does she use your surname then?”
“This is none of your business,” Zoey cut her off tritely, glaring at them.
“None of our business?” Harry interrupted, “I’m the head of the Lopez family. I decide who uses the family’s name.”
“What?”
Zoey stared at him in disbelief.
“I reserve the right to strip her of our family name.”
Harry stared right back at her.
“Yeah! There’s no way Levi’s child take our family name. He’s not in the position to do so.”
Everyone in the Lopez family agreed in unison.
“She’s not using the Blacks’ surname either,” Meredith quickly added when she saw everyone agreeing.
Contrary to everyone’s reaction, Felix smiled. “Well, you can name her after the Zachs’. That’s up to you.”
Levi’s daughter taking the Zachs’ surname? Are you for real?
Zoey stared at Felix in disbelief.
I’d only let my daughter take the Lopez’s or the Black’s surname and nothing else besides these two!
Unless…
Zoey stood helpless before the scheming crowd.
She knew they would find some leverage against her when she refused to cooperate with them, but she was still appalled when they targeted her child.
Since they were adamant about Forlevia not inheriting neither the family name of the Blacks nor the Lopezes, and that it would be ridiculous for her to take any other families’ name, Zoey was caught in a sticky situation.
At that, she could only let Forlevia take after Levi’s family name. She would be one of the Garrisons, yet Zoey instantly recalled the Garrison family’s warning.
They said Levi’s children should never be allowed to take their family name.
Thus, this was never an option.
It was apparent that they wanted to corner Zoey to wits’ end.
“Well, Zoey, there’s a way out. Forlevia can take whichever surname she likes if you agree to let Morris Group come under the three families.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1302
“It’s either you work with us, or your daughter will never have a last name on any of her identity documents”
Though it sounded ridiculous on the spot, Zoey knew what they were capable of.
They would do anything they could to coerce her to give up Morris Group.
Likewise, her family knew her soft spot. That was why they used her daughter as their bargaining chip.
“How could you guys do this to me!”
Zoey was exasperated under the pressure.
“Hey, don’t make it sound like we’re bullying you. There’s no way we’re letting a crippled man be in charge of the company.”
“Mommy, I want to take Daddy’s last name.” The girl in Zoey’s arms finally spoke.
She knew they were trying to intimidate her mother, and she would never allow that.
Meredith laughed after hearing the girl’s childish request. “You want to be a Garrison? Sure! You just dug your own grave. Let’s see what the family will do to you.”
Everyone smiled nastily as Meredith spoke.
“They won’t do anything to us. They are afraid of Daddy. He’s the God of War!”
Forlevia knew that Dragonites would move at Levi’s command. To them, he was still the God of War.
Not only that, but she could also foresee what was in store for Tyrone and the Garrison clan.
If the Garrison clan was afraid of Levi, there was nothing else left to stop her from becoming one of the family.
What Forlevia said sounded like a joke to Meredith and the rest, but it was the truth.
“Ha! What did your dad tell you, eh? That he’s the God of War? He’s disabled! This is the most brazen thing I’ve ever heard. The whole Erudia would be ashamed if he were. Winsor’s the only God of War here! Who do you think your dad is?” Meredith taunted as she turned to look at everyone, “I can’t believe Levi taught his child to lie.”
A boisterous wave of laughter rang among the family members.
Zoey’s face hardened when Meredith started criticizing Levi’s parenting.
Despite seething in anger at Meredith’s rebuke, Zoey was still dissatisfied with Levi.
Why did he even tell Evie that he’s the God of War?
He’s not anymore!
Evie is still young, so she will really take this for the truth.
Does he even know what he’s doing?
The kid might end up in trouble!
“Mommy, I really want to be a Garrison. I insist!”
Forlevia’s voice shook Zoey back to reality.
She had to make a decision right at this moment.
“Come on, Zoey, we don’t have all day. You have to think about your kid too. Besides, it’s not like it’s a bad thing to have Morris Group as part of the three families’ plan to consolidate our influence. You will still benefit from it. Forlevia will be treated like a little princess in all the families too, so it’s a win-win situation.”
Zoey was swayed as Meredith and the others started persuading her.
After all, she did not want Forlevia to not have any family name.
She just could not bring herself to do it.
“I’ll think about it,” Zoey finally caved.
There was nothing she could do in the face of this cold-hearted lot.
They took advantage of Levi’s misfortune and forced him to donate one of his kidneys.
Now they were even extending their claws to Morris Group.
Zoey could not believe they were actually the family members she grew up with.
She had forgotten that family ties were nothing to these prominent families when they wanted to pursue their own interests.
if she were given a choice, she would rather be born in a usual family.
“You have one day to decide, or we’ll talk to the authorities and get her name changed.”
After that, Zoey brought Forlevia and left without another word.
When she arrived home, Levi could tell with just one glance that something was wrong.
“What’s the matter?”
Zoey sighed and recounted everything that happened.
Levi was incensed when he heard what happened, but he quickly calmed down and thought it was not entirely a bad thing.
“Fine, she can just take my last name.”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1303
Despite feeling humiliated by the families, Levi saw this as a blessing in disguise.
He had secretly wished Forlevia could officially be part of his family. It was just that he never told Zoey about it.
She had gone through too much because of him, and he did not want to burden her any further.
That was why he did not object when Forlevia took Zoey’s surname.
The three families’ actions only fulfilled his wish, but Zoey begged to differ.
“Have you forgotten what the Garrisons said? They said they would do anything to stop Forlevia from using their family name.”
She was fully aware that they would go to great lengths to exclude her daughter from the family.
They even tried to kill Levi when he was still a baby.
It was apparent that they would do likewise to Forlevia.
“They don’t have the guts to do that,” Levi said coldly.
The whole family was within his hands, and he could easily do away with whatever rules the family had.
Thus, they had no say with regard to Forlevia’s surname.
Zoey pursed her lips and shook her head at Levi’s stubbornness. “By the way, you should stop teaching Evie weird things. She thought you’re really the God of War,” she remarked sternly, eyeing Levi from the corner of her eyes, “I mean, you used to be, but you aren’t anymore. She might get into trouble if she goes around telling people that.”
Hearing Zoey’s words, Forlevia sprang up and defended Levi. “Mommy, Daddy isn’t lying!”
Beside her, Levi simply smiled. “Don’t worry, Zoey. The Garrison family won’t do anything to her. They have been threatening me my whole life, but I’m still a Garrison.”
A frown settled on Zoey’s brows as she chewed on his words reluctantly.
Although what Levi said was true, Zoey still thought that was not the best arrangement.
After all, the Garrisons were known for being cruel and crafty.
“Just trust me on this, Zoey. There really won’t be a problem with Forlevia being a Garrison. Anyway, this is not up for discussion. It’s not like you want to give Morris Group to them just like that, right?”
Zoey nodded slowly in resignation.
She could only hope for the best.
Levi was elated when he saw Zoey giving her consent. He turned toward Forlevia and a wide smile spread on his face. “Evie, you’re now Forlevia Garrison!”
“Yes, Daddy! I’m Forlevia Garrison!”
The chirpy girl nodded her head passionately beside Levi.
Proud and beaming, Levi patted her head as his smile intensified. “This calls for a celebration.”
Levi then immediately arranged for a banquet the following day.
It was a small celebration party with only a few attendees. Other than the family, only Aaron, Caitlyn, Sylas, and Iris were invited.
Everyone was glad to receive the good news.
Although Aaron and Caitlyn thought the couple should take more time to think about the matter, they were still happy for them.
Just as everyone was having a good time celebrating, people from the Lopez, Black, and Zachs families arrived.
“I can’t believe you still have the mood to celebrate, Zoey,” one of them said.
Meredith stepped forward and showed her goading smile. “Why didn’t you invite your own family?”
Aaron and Caitlyn were quick to apologize. “I’m sorry, we’re just having a small gathering, so we never thought of inviting the family.”
Levi, on the other hand, was irritated to see them. “What do you people want?”
“What do we want? We’re here to see Zoey, of course,” Meredith replied, “So, did you make up your mind already, Zoey?”
All eyes were on Zoey as everyone waited for an answer.
“Evie will be taking her father’s last name.”
Meredith’s eyes widened in surprise. “What? Are you crazy?”
They never once expected Zoey to do that, what more with such determination and boldness.
“You heard me right. She’s now Forlevia Garrison.”
“Too bad for you then. The Garrison clan will be notified immediately.”
Levi scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Go ahead and tell them. Every one of the Garrisons will have to come to their knees when they see me.”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1304
Everyone was stunned by his audacity.
Does he even know what he’s saying? The Garrisons have to kneel before him?
He’s crippled!
What a dreamer.
Even Zoey felt embarrassed by his reckless statement.
To Zoey, Levi used to be the God of War, but not anymore.
“Ha! You and your threats. Alright then, I’ll report this right now. Let’s see what they’re gonna do to y’all.”
Meredith was exasperated seeing Levi’s ruthless attitude. She told herself she would do everything she could to put them in their place.
“Do whatever you like.”
Levi gave her a nonchalant shrug, seeing that she was burning in anger.
“Yeah! Do whatever you like. No one is gonna change my name this time.” Forlevia supported Levi’s stance.
With her own daughter and husband on the same side, Zoey readily stood by them and took their side.
Following that, she chased Meredith and everyone else out of the house before coming back to continue their celebration.
While everyone was eating, Zoey went over to Levi and whispered in his ears. “Should we change Evie’s name too?”
“It’s fine. I think Forlevia is fine. This name is a reminder for me to protect and cherish both you and our daughter.”
A blissful smile spread on Zoey’s face as she nodded.
After Meredith and the others left, they contacted the Garrison clan in Oakland City without losing a moment.
Meredith went straight to the point and even exaggerated the story when the butler picked up the phone.
“Uh-huh, so what?” The voice sounded apathetic from the other side.
Hearing that, Meredith was taken aback by his nonchalant response.
“I mean, I thought the clan has already forbidden Levi’s child from taking his family name?”
“Why can’t Levi’s daughter follow his last name? There are so many families in the whole of Erudia. It’s not like we can do anything to them if they choose to use our surname. There’s nothing wrong with that, so stop trying to make a huge fuss out of this.”
Meredith was frightened when she heard the butler’s intimidating tone. ”That’s not my intention, I’m just trying to…”
“Then just mind your own business and get lost,” the butler interrupted testily and hung up.
Meredith did not believe the Garrison clan would actually condone Levi’s behavior and even threw a party after they found out about it.
Now that Levi had the whole clan within his grip, no one dared to do a thing.
They were afraid they would incur his wrath.
The fact that Levi named his daughter Forlevia Garrison meant he had acknowledged the clan.
For the Garrisons, this was the best thing that could ever happen to them.
“What are we still waiting for? Forlevia is now one of us. We should prepare some gifts and go to North Hampton to congratulate them!”
“Yes! We should also ask the Garcias, the Lehmans, and the others to come along too. Oh! Don’t forget the imperial family!”
“I’ll contact all the Garrisons from Oakland and Erudia too,” Teneb said.
Now that even the oldest and most powerful man within the family spoke, everyone set to action. This was the clan’s only chance to get on Levi’s good side.
The fate of the whole clan now resided in the hands of Levi, so they had to make sure everything fell into place in their favor.
They had to let Levi know they genuinely wanted to patch things up with him so he would spare them.
Hence, after that, each of the Garrison, Garcia, and Lehman families prepared exquisite and expensive gifts for Forlevia.
It went without saying that Meredith was shocked beyond measure.
She did not know that everyone would take this so seriously.
Hundreds and thousands of people from influential families from Erudia came together in celebration.
They came from every corner to congratulate the daughter of the God of War on the day she changed her last name.
The element of surprise lay in the fact that Levi was already crippled. Meredith could not wrap her head around why they still held him in high regard and respect.
Little did she know, although Levi was disabled, he was stronger as ever.
Forlevia was the God of War’s daughter, and no one could stop her from becoming a Garrison.

The Return of God of War Chapter 1305
On the following day, North Hampton Airport received an overwhelming number of notifications about private jets flying in.
People were coming in from all around the country, especially from Oakland City.
Groups of influential figures flew in on their private planes, and the traffic was heavy at the airport.
Luxury limousines were parked at the pickup area awaiting the arrival of numerous prominent figures.
Lines of extravagant vehicles moved out of the airport to the highway after guests got on.
Never had anyone seen such a lively scene in North Hampton.
All routes were congested as people arrived and left the airport.
The public quickly noticed this unusual scene and started questioning what was happening.
“What’s going on in North Hampton?”
“What’s with all this traffic all of a sudden?”
Their curiosity was understandable.
Expensive cars streamed down the roads, and helicopters hovered over the city for the whole day.
Everyone marveled at this unprecedented sight.
“Look, Daddy! There’re so many planes in the sky!”
Even Forlevia was amazed.
Emma trailed the girl’s gaze and frowned, clearly befuddled by what she saw. “I wonder what is happening. It’s like everyone is coming to North Hampton all of a sudden.”
At the same time, Meredith and Harry had already received news about this unusual scene in North Hampton.
Servants started coming in with real-time reports of what they each saw. ”I heard Teneb of Garrison clan came all the way from Oakland City. The family’s council members are here too.”
“The patriarch and the council members of the Garcia family just arrived too,” yet another servant said.
“Mr. Lehman and his men just touched down.”
“The ancient, imperial, and royal families from Oakland City are all here as well.”
“I just got the news that prominent families from other places have come over.”
These were disconcerting news for Meredith and those around her.
It was the Lopez, Black, and Zachs families’ interest to combine forces to form an imperial family, but from how things were unfolding, the situation was not to their advantage.
“The Garrison family is obviously here to deal with Levi, but what about other families? Why are they here?” someone asked.
“I know, right? It’s weird how we receive no heads up about their coming.”
Everyone was befuddled by the news.
They were considered the most powerful families in the area, but they were not notified about anything.
“Go and see if you can find out more about this,” Meredith ordered one of the servants.
After the servant went out, she caught Harry’s scheming gaze, and they both smiled concurrently.
“This is our chance. The most distinguished people in the whole country are all here now. We have to seize the opportunity.”
Zoey was at the company when she got a call saying someone was waiting for her at the front desk.
She rushed downstairs and saw Dale.
“Mr. Lehman…” Zoey hesitated before greeting him. She was not sure if she should call him godfather.
“Zoey! It’s nice to see you again.”
His enthusiasm caught her by surprise.
Sensing her reluctance, Dale walked toward her and held her hand. “Zoey, I’m sorry for what I did to you. I should’ve helped you out back then. Trust me when I say I had no other choice. I had to think about the family.”
Dale recalled what Teneb told him, and a wave of regret washed over his heart once again.
“It’s okay, Mr. Lehman. You did nothing wrong,” Zoey quickly assured him.
Dale looked at her in the eyes before finally saying, “Do you mind me taking you as my god-daughter now? Is it too late?”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1306
“Huh?”
Zoey was dumbfounded by his request.
Is it too late?
What is he talking about?
Zoey could not get her head around what was happening.
Dale denied her help back when she was going through the hardest time, but now, there was a total change in attitude on his side.
Just when Zoey was about to agree to his request, the old man let out a sigh. “It’s okay. I know I don’t have what it takes to be your godfather. I know you’re disappointed in me. It’s okay. I’m just here to see how you’re doing. I should not covet anything else.”
It was true that Dale should not wish for more. He did not dare to.
If Zoey became his god-daughter, this would mean Levi had to address him as his god-father too.
He did not have the guts to do such a thing.
Dale lowered his head and turned to leave, leaving Zoey looking at him, confused.
What on earth is going on?
This was not the only thing that puzzled Zoey. She was aware that some of the most prestigious families in Oakland City were here in North Hampton.
Even the Garrisons were here.
“Don’t tell me this is about Evie changing her family name. Meredith told them about it already?”
With that thought in mind, Zoey dashed home to see if everything was fine.
“I’m sure the Garrisons are here for Evie,” she told Levi when she saw him at home.
“So what? They can’t do anything to us.”
Levi was totally unfazed when he heard Zoey. He turned away and continued counting the number of airplanes in the sky with Forlevia.
“Are you not worried at all?” Zoey questions anxiously, “It’s okay. I can still turn to God-father if something happens. The Garrisons will at least listen to him.”
In hindsight, Zoey was grateful that Dale came to her and extended an olive branch.
She dismissed her worry and nodded hopefully.
Unlike her, Levi did not take this to heart at all.
To him, those people were nothing more than just a swarm of pests.
While traffic was bustling in North Hampton, people back at the Garrison family’s manor were beginning to get restless too.
Joseph, Ben, and Winnie were all wondering about the sudden change in the city.
In the meantime, Bryan and Victoria, who had been commissioned to get to the bottom of this, were especially vexed.
“This is so frustrating. I can’t seem to get any news about what’s going on.”
Just as the couple was trying to find means to get hold of more information, deafening blasts of honks resounded outside the manor.
Everyone rushed out at the noise only to see a few dozens of cars parked outside the gate.
An old man came down from one of the vehicles, and a few other people quickly attended to him as he got off.
“It’s Elder Teneb from Oakland City!” Joseph blurted out in surprise.
Everyone else with him was stunned too.
It was true that the Garrison family was part of the Garrison clan, but for Teneb to come her himself was too out of the blue for everyone.
Joseph knelt down and greeted the old man as he approached.
“It’s a privilege to have you here, Elder Teneb. How can the Garrison family be of assistance?”
The elderly man nodded and went straight to the point. “I need you to prepare a capacious venue that can house a huge crowd. Also, ask Levi and Forlevia to come over.”
“We’ll see to it right away,” Joseph replied servilely before turning toward Bryan. “Get going.”
Everyone in the Garrison family was fidgety with the unannounced arrival of key figures from the Garrison clan.
Teneb’s solemn expression said it all. Everyone thought the elder must be here to put Levi in his place, but they got it all wrong.
Bryan and Victoria swiftly arranged for a spacious meeting room that could house thousands of people.
After that, they went to look for Levi.
They goaded him the moment they saw the crippled man.
“You’re in for it this time, Levi. Elder Teneb wants to see you.”
They were delighted because they thought the clan was here to put Levi down a peg or two.
The reckoning they had been coveting finally arrived.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1307
Levi was the one who wreaked havoc in their lives, so they were thrilled when they found out justice would soon be served on their behalf.
Levi, on the other hand, was surprised to see Bryan and Victoria barging into his house.
After all, they were the least expected guests at his place.
“Levi Garrison, I dare you to meet us at Galaxy International Clubhouse at eight tonight,” Bryan challenged with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
“What for?” Levi asked.
“To settle some old score, of course.”
Behind him, Victoria looked at Forlevia and shook her head in pity. “What a shame. She’ll be losing her life because of her name. Too bad you won’t be able to protect her anymore, Levi. You can only watch your wife and daughter die in front of your own eyes. So much for being the God of War.”
An arrogant smile curved on Bryan’s lips listening to his wife. “Make sure you don’t disappoint us tonight, God of War.”
With that said, the two turned and left.
Not long after they left, West Sky Lord came to inform Levi about what was going on.
After getting more information, Levi agreed to go over in the evening.
When Zoey found out about it, she darted home to stop Levi from bringing Forlevia over.
She even called Dale to seek his help.
“Mr. Lehman, you have to save my child. The Garrison family will not let her off so easily this time. Please!”
“What are you talking about?” The man’s confused voice came from the other end.
He could not believe anyone would have the guts to mess with Levi and Forlevia unless they had a death wish.
Just as Zoey was about to explain further, a voice interrupted the call from Dale’s end. “The God of War has arrived!”
“Alright, Zoey. I’ll see what I can do. I’ll hang up first.” Dale ended the call, and Zoey heaved a sigh of relief.
Over at Galaxy International Clubhouse, Joseph and the other Garrisons were waiting patiently, but not without burning questions in their hearts.
“I wonder why the Oakland Garrison clan have to summon us all here. They can well end Levi on their own.”
“Come on, isn’t it obvious? Who is Levi? He’s too filthy for the clan to deal with him themselves. They want us to clear this scum up instead,” Joseph answered.
Everyone else nodded in agreement after listening to him.
It made sense that the Garrison clan did not want to tarnish their hands with Levi’s blood.
In no time, Levi appeared before the crowd with North Sky Lord pushing him in the wheelchair.
He was carrying Forlevia in his arms.
Everyone from the Garrison family was seething with hatred when they saw Levi and the child.
“He really has the balls to come, doesn’t he?”
The disgrace Levi brought to the family two years ago was too great for them to overlook.
He almost wiped out everyone, but back then, no one dared to do a thing in the face of Levi because he was the God of War.
There was no way they could take revenge on him without fearing reprisal, but things took an interesting turn.
Levi was now crippled.
Thus, this was the perfect chance for them to avenge themselves.
“What’s wrong with me coming here?”
Levi looked at the family and questioned.
“Yeah! Daddy is the God of War. He has nothing to be afraid of,” Forlevia quickly added.
“Did I hear the kid right? Did she say he’s the God of War? What a joke!”
“More like a crippled God of War!”
The family broke out in laughter while looking at the father and daughter.
“Be warned, Levi. You won’t go out alive tonight. The Garrison clan is here to end you.”
“Too bad for him. Who asked him to name that child after the family?”
“Finally! I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. The clan is finally clearing this nuisance for us.”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1308
The Garrison family simply could not wait to savor the moment of sweet revenge.
They had been dying to see Levi punished.
“The clan can’t do anything to me,” Levi said calmly.
That elicited another wave of loud laughter from the Garrisons.
“I thought you’re just handicapped. I didn’t know you’re delusional too!”
“Yeah! There’s nothing the clan doesn’t dare to do.”
Levi swept his gaze across the family as he caressed Forlevia’s head. “I’ll give everyone here one last chance for Forlevia’s sake. Cut this sh*t out before I lose my patience.”
Behind Levi, North Sky Lord smirked looking at the gloating crowd. “It’ll be too late to apologize then.”
“Is he serious? Levi’s the one that should be begging for his life now,” Joseph retaliated.
Even Ben and Winnie jeered at him. “Do you still remember how the boy vouched to do great things when he grew up? Look at him now.”
“Exactly. He even talked about ruling the country, but he can’t even command his own body.”
Back when Levi was still healthy, they lay prostrate before him in fear, but now, they had totally no regard for him.
“It seems like you guys just missed your last chance,” Levi said, still smiling calmly.
“Listen to him. He’s gone completely nuts!”
Just as the Garrisons were getting ready to lambast Levi, someone shouted from the crowd.
“Elder Teneb is here!”
Joseph and other family members quickly stood aside and made a path as the door opened.
Teneb came in with the council members following behind him closely.
“Elder Teneb.”
Joseph stood forward, but he was quickly pushed aside by the people around Teneb.
The old man and Kenny went toward Levi instead.
To everyone’s horror, all of them knelt down before Levi one after another.
“Master!”
“Missy!”
The all exclaimed in unison.
“Long live the Master. We’re honored to have the addition of a new member to our clan. Please accept our gifts.”
The clan had given a total of eight hundred million to Levi and even gifted Forlevia an island.
The Garrison family from North Hampton were dumbstruck.
Members from the Garcia family stepped forward and knelt down too.
They expressed congratulatory wishes to Forvelia and offered a castle and land as gifts.
Next came Dale from the Lehman family, bringing gifts of phenomenal value to Forlevia as well.
Even the Stuart and Meyers families—the imperial families in Oakland City, also came to pay tribute to Levi and Forlevia.
Not only that, but royal families from Oakland City and South Hampton also came to honor Forlevia.
In no time, the hall was filled will prominent families from the whole of Erudia.
All of them bowed down before Levi and Forlevia when they saw them.
It went without saying that Bryan, Victoria, Joseph, and the others were completely blown away.
Never in their wildest dream would they imagine all the influential families to come all the way just because Forlevia had become a Garrison.
Similarly, the Garrisons from North Hampton were still trying to process what they saw.
Levi was tied to his wheelchair, yet everyone was calling him master.
They were subservient to him and respected him.
The Garrison family simply refused to accept the truth because this would mean they had offended the most powerful person in Erudia.
Just as they thought they had enough shock for the evening, Levi stood up and pushed his wheelchair aside, with Forlevia still in his arms.
The whole place fell into dead silence as everyone’s jaws dropped.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1309
Bryan was the first to gasp out loud.
Victoria fell to her knees and started shaking violently at the sight.
As for Ben and Winnie, they stood motionless as if they were struck by thunder.
Joseph almost passed out the moment he saw Levi standing up with his naked eyes.
It never once crossed their mind that Levi was just faking his disability and that he was actually the master of all the prominent families in Erudia.
Their hearts thumped uncontrollably as Levi walked toward them.
It turned out that everyone was gathered here just to celebrate Forlevia’s surname-changing.
Things took an unexpected turn, and the Garrison family was having a difficult time snapping back to reality.
They finally understood what Levi meant when he said he was giving them one final chance.
“What is happening? Why are you all bowing down? He’s no longer the God of War! Winsor has stripped him of that title!” Ben cried out in disbelief and questioned everyone.
He could accept the fact that Levi was putting up a front to trick them all this while, but that did not change the fact that he was now just a commoner.
There was no way everyone in Erudia should kneel down before him.
This made no sense at all.
Teneb looked up at Ben and smiled loftily. “Who is Winsor? Levi killed all his masters! Even Demon Blade, the Ultimate class warrior, is no match for Levi. He’s the master of The Calamity. Everyone at Oakland City still takes him as the God of War.”
This piece of news was the last blow for the Garrison family.
Levi turned out to be far stronger and more powerful than he was.
It was just that he had been keeping up a disguise.
If they had known this earlier on, they would have risen from the ashes to prominence like the Garrison clan.
“Levi! Please forgive us!”
All of them slumped to their knees begging.
They knocked their heads against the cold hard ground trying to beg for his mercy. “We must be blind to be so insolent. Please have mercy on us.”
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Their foreheads were already stained red with blood with the constant banging, but they did not stop.
They knew they had to continue imploring mercy until Levi relent.
He had clearly given them a chance.
It was the Garrison themselves who dug their own graves, so they would have to undo their mistake now.
Levi watched them silently as they begged for their lives until they passed out.
“I don’t want to see any of the North Hampton Garrisons in Erudia anymore.”
Levi’s words sealed the fate of the Garrison family.
They would have no choice but to leave the country.
This marked the end of the whole family.
Over on the other side, Meredith, Harry, and the gang rushed to Galaxy International Clubhouse after finding out that everyone was assembled there.
Their blood boiled in excitement when they saw the cars and helicopters outside the venue.
This was a fine chance for them to establish their network to climb up the social ladder.
If they were able to get to know some of the guests and take down Morris Group, the three families would gain higher status.
At the thought of that, they scrambled into the clubhouse with their eyes fixed on the prize.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I heard they just caught Levi and his daughter. Does this mean they will kill them tonight?”
Jennie had just received news from Zoey about what was happening.
Before anyone could answer, blaring noises came from within the clubhouse as if someone was fighting.
A smile broke out on Jennie’s face.
“Poor them.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1310
“Hurry up. I don’t want to miss out on this. It must be a pleasant sight. The Garrison clan must be teaching Levi and Forlevia a good lesson.”
To their dismay, what they were about to see was not what they anticipated.
About ten people were on their knees pleading for forgiveness.
They were knocking their wounded heads so hard that the ground was already red with blood. Even so, none of them stopped although their flesh was exposed.
Some of them had even fainted on the ground.
Meredith and the others were alarmed to see the ghastly sight.
Their backs turned cold, and they began to quiver.
What is going on?
They thought the Garrison clan was punishing the family because of what Levi and Forlevia did.
“Please have mercy on us.”
Joseph was still entreating Levi although his face was covered with blood, and his voice was growing soft.
Meredith still had no clue about the real situation. She glared at Levi when she saw the pitiful lot hurt and injured.
What a jinx. Why does he have to make everyone’s life so difficult? Look at what he’s putting his family through.
Look at his conceited face. I can’t believe this guy is still sitting in his wheelchair when his elders are standing on their feet.
He has no respect for old people.
Meredith stormed toward Levi and Forlevia and lashed out at them. “What do you think you’re doing sitting here leisurely? Get on your knees and ask for forgiveness with your family.”
“Yeah. You should own up to your mistake. Don’t just let your family bear the blame for you. You and your child are the ones who caused this mess,” Harry added.
Bang!
Following the loud slam, a wooden table broke into a clean half. Teneb was furious.
“Who are you all to talk?” he roared.
Meredith and Robert jumped at Teneb’s voice.
They soon found themselves under the condemning and indignant glares of everyone present.
“Do you not want to live anymore? Know your place!”
People started denouncing their impudent acts, putting the three families in a tight spot.
They looked around uneasily and knelt down, apologizing profusely.
“Please forgive us. We don’t mean to interfere.”
They still had no idea why they incurred public wrath. They thought it was because they overstepped their boundary.
They thought so because all the guests had high social status, so it made sense that they should behave accordingly.
When they found out their impoliteness had enraged even Teneb, they quickly apologized.
Just as things were getting messy, Zoey ran in with worry written all over her face. She did not want anything to happen to Levi and Forlevia.
She was stunned when she saw so many people on their Knees.
