Ch. 1371..1380

Chapter 1371Thierry had been dreaming of that for the longest time.Currently, the Great Family of Westford was considered the weakest of the Four Great Families.However, things would definitely change should Levi joins them.As such, Thierry needed to use any means he could to get Levi to join his side.With Levi around, he was confident that for the next century, or even a few centuries, the Great Family of Westford would reign supreme.Thierry kept his head lowered while waiting for Levi’s reply.The other members of the family could hardly believe what they were seeing as they had never seen Thierry bowing down to anyone.“Mr. Garrison, as long as you agree to join us, I’ll agree to any conditions you have in order to show our sincerity.”Everyone had thought that no one would be able to reject such alluring terms offered by Thierry.However, Levi looked up with a sneer and replied, “I’m not interested!”After saying that, he turned to leave, which sent Thierry into a fluster.“Mr. Garrison, please reconsider! Don’t leave yet! Let’s talk about it again! I will agree to any requests you have…”“Another word of nonsense from you and I’ll kill all of you!” Levi interrupted Thierry, releasing a murderous aura. At that moment, the former looked just like a demon from hell.Everyone from the Great Family of Westford was terrified when they heard that.They knew that if Levi wanted to kill them, not a single one of them would be able to leave that place alive.As such, Thierry had no choice but to choke back his words and everyone watched as Levi walked away.After the man finally left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief as they felt like they could finally breathe without his intimidating presence.“Grandpa, why did you have to lower yourself to ask him to join our Great Family of Westford? I mean, I do admit that he’s very powerful, but is he really that formidable?” Judy asked, feeling confused.The other members of the family had the same question.“Have you heard of the Five Dragons of Erudia?” Thierry asked.Everyone gasped when they heard that.The Five Dragons of Erudia were legends and words had it that they were invincible.It was everyone’s dream to become as good as them.However, almost a century later, there was still no one who was able to succeed them.Those five were simply way too strong and it seemed almost impossible to reach their standards.“That young man is almost as good as the Five Dragons of Erudia! He would definitely be able to reach their level in no time!” Thierry explained.“What?” Everyone was shocked by what they had just heard.“I’ve never come across anyone who’s this formidable at such a young age! He definitely has the potential to be the successor of the Five Dragons Of Erudia. If he is willing to join us, that will certainly help us become the head of the Four Great Families!” Thierry continued.“I see! That’s quite frightening indeed!” Judy and the rest gaped in disbelief.“Judy, I have a task for you. You shall investigate his background thoroughly. I will not give up on this man! If the other families know about him, they will definitely try all means to get him on their side. Whoever gets him will rule for the next century!” Thierry instructed.“Understood! I’ll find out everything about him and try my best to get him on our side!” Judy replied.Thierry glanced at Judy and said, “It would be even better if he’s still single. If that’s the case, Judy, you should marry him and you will be guaranteed a bright future!”A blush of embarrassment spread across the woman’s cheeks when she heard that.As she was from a family of fighters, it was natural that she admired men who were powerful and Levi fitted the bill to the tee.“Alright! It’s decided then!” Thierry smiled.He was already imagining Levi as his future grandson-in-law.Just then, Cora and the Lopez family arrived at Lake Westia.“Thierry, we’re here to pick you up!” the old lady exclaimed.That got everyone feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.Chapter 1372To the Lopez family, the Great Family of Westford was their biggest supporter, and it wouldn’t be too much to even regard them as their family’s forefathers.“Should we get on our knees?” asked Harry, who couldn’t contain his feelings.Everyone wanted to present their best selves to Thierry.“You don’t have to, but everyone else should do so,” instructed Cora.Thump!Thump!One by one, the Lopezes got on their knees.“Thierry, this is my husband, Harry Lopez, and the others are our younglings,” said Cora to introduce everyone.Thierry wasn’t paying attention to them at all. He simply nodded numbly.Judy and the others were even less interested in the Lopez family.“Um…”The nonchalant response from the Great Family of Westford got the entire Lopez family to panic.Did we not do a good job of greeting them?Even Cora was a little taken aback.Despite that, she was quick to push Zoey and Forlevia ahead and said, “Thierry, this is my granddaughter, Zoey, and her daughter, Evie. Didn’t you say you wanted to meet them?”Zoey and Forlevia greeted politely as well.However, Thierry ignored them completely. He shared in a strange tone, “Cora, guess who I met earlier?”“Huh? Who did you meet?” asked Cora curiously.“I just met an incredible genius. He has got to be the strongest young man I have ever met!” answered Thierry in astonishment.“Huh? A young man who got you to call him incredible? He must really be something else, then.”Judy chimed in and said, “Just earlier, he squashed all six of grandpa’s subordinates with ease. We could’ve died if he had the intention of doing so.”“Exactly! All I can say is this, he is worthy of being the next in line to succeed the Five Dragons of Erudia. He might even become someone who fights alongside the Five Dragons of Erudia.”Thierry was still basking in the shock he experienced earlier.“Really? You think he can actually do it?” blurted Cora, who knew all about the Five Dragons of Erudia.For years, the Four Great Families had been searching and training potential talents to succeed in the Five Dragons Of Erudia.I can’t believe a rare talent just dropped out of the sky like that!“W-Where is he now?” asked Cora as she swallowed hard.Thierry shook his head and replied, “He already left. The most astonishing part, however, is that he is just a commoner! That is truly unexpected.”“What? A young commoner with the ability to succeed the Five Dragons of Erudia? Something like that has never happened before. Not even the Four Great Families have ever seen it,” said Cora. She was so shocked that her eyes bulged like they were about to pop out of her sockets.“I never expected it. This is my first day here. Yet, I have already been given such a big surprise. It is simply too harrowing,” said Thierry as he sighed fearfully.“I made him an offer and told him what he could have if he joined the Great Family of Westford, but he rejected it. It’s too bad. We would surely rise to the top if he were to join us!”Cora nodded in agreement and said, “That is true.”“I have a plan for this. Once I learn his real identity, I will arrange a marriage for him and Judy. That will turn him into the next-in-line for the Great Family of Westford! I shall spare no expenses to get him to join our ranks,” declared Thierry excitedly.Cora suddenly thought of something, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Thierry, did you meet him here?”“Yeah, why do you ask?”“Well, if that’s the case, I’m guessing he is from North Hampton or is living here,” said Cora as she turned to the rest of the Lopezes and instructed, “Tap into your contacts. They might know something about the guy, and we can help locate him.”Thierry slapped his forehead when he learned what Cora was doing. He replied, “You’re right. So, do you guys know any incredible genius living here? He is about this tall, and he can’t have been over thirty….”Thierry and the others described Levi’s appearance to the Lopezes.That stunned everyone, and they blurted, “Why does the dude sound a little like Levi?”Chapter 1373“It’s Daddy. They’re describing Daddy!” cheered Forlevia while clapping.Even Zoey thought that Thierry’s description matched Levi.“Was the guy in a wheelchair?” asked Zoey curiously.Thierry shook his head and replied, “No, he wasn’t. There’s no way a powerful man like that needs to use a wheelchair.”“Oh, then it can’t be him,” murmured Zoey.First off, Levi is in a wheelchair.Secondly, there is no way that Levi would go to a place like Lake Westia.Her reasoning was sound because there was no way she could’ve guessed that Levi would drop by the place in person to avoid being detected by Minka’s men and to get the report from West Sky Lord.“That truly frightened me. I thought it might actually be Levi for a second there,” said Harry and the others before they heaved a deep sigh.The consequences would have been grave if that person turned out to be Levi.Thierry was a God-like existence to the Lopez family.All it would take was one word from him, and the family’s ranking would rise to the top of Erudia.The guy Thierry described was so incredible that Harry wanted to get the guy to join them as well.I can’t even imagine what kind of a man he is.“Still, if there’re any incredible guys in North Hampton, then it has to be the old Levi. He used to be the God of War, after all,” replied Harry. “I haven’t heard about anyone else who is that powerful. I did hear about a rumor some time ago, though. It seems that the headquarter of the Calamity is right here in North Hampton. Could it be that you met someone from that organization?”“Who knows? Winsor has crushed The Calamity, but it could be that there are other hidden organizations in the city,” said Shaun.Thierry’s expression shifted a little before he announced, “Alright then. At least we know where to begin searching for the guy.”After saying his piece, Thierry turned his gaze to Zoey and said, “So, you’re Zoey Lopez?”“Yes,” replied Zoey.“Hmm, not bad,” said Thierry before he nodded and asked, “Your husband, Levi Garrison, used to be the God of War, right?”Zoey’s marriage with Levi was the only reason Thierry wanted to meet her.“That’s right. Unfortunately, he is no longer that,” said Zoey.Thierry chuckled and said, “That’s true. It is unfortunate because if he is still that powerful, we could’ve joined forces and reached a higher level together.”“Thierry, that punk is stubborn and ignorant. He is disrespectful to us even though he is bound to a wheelchair. He would behave even more arrogantly if he is still the God of War,” growled Cora angrily.“Such insolence! So what if he is the God of War? He would still be nothing to me!” roared Thierry, who was instantly infuriated.Even the God of War at the time was nothing but a puny subordinate of the Great Family of Frostford.All he has is a slightly higher rank. These so-called Gods of War are nothing against me when it comes to actual power and combat strength.Cora then shared everything about the three-month deadline.“Hah! I’d like to see what he’d come up with to earn the right to see his wife and daughter. If he fails to meet my expectations, I will not let him be reunited with either of you!” growled Thierry.Hearing Thierry’s words got everyone in the Lopez family to sigh a breath of relief.Levi is so dead this time. Even Enyo won’t be able to protect him… Well, unless he chose to never see his wife and daughter ever again.“Alright, let’s head back for now. I will stay in North Hampton for the time being and won’t leave until I locate and learn everything about that mysterious man!” announced Thierry.“That is such a great honor. Even our ancestral grave will glow with pride!” exclaimed Harry and the others. They were so excited that they almost knelt down.They had never imagined that someone as powerful as Thierry would stay in their place.Our family is going to rise to the top with this!“By the way, Mr. Langston, North Hampton will be having a party to host the rich and powerful soon. We’d be honored if you can join.”Chapter 1374Thierry nodded and answered, “Sure, I’ll be there.”“That’d be amazing!”Every member of the Lopez family became excited.That was understandable since Thierry’s reputation would bring infinite benefits to the Lopez family.“Listen up, everybody. You are to welcome Mr. Langston and treat him as our most honored guest!”After that, the Lopez family led Thierry into their residence.The welcoming party was so big that it got the entire North Hampton involved.Everyone learned that Thierry had moved in and was living temporarily with the Lopez family.It didn’t take long before the Lopez family got the Black family to go visit Thierry.At that moment, every younger member of both families was gathered outside.Shaun, Samuel, and Jennie were hanging out together at the time.“Shaun, do you hate Levi?” asked Jennie all of a sudden.“I guess. His existence really pisses me off sometimes,” replied Shaun.He had thought about it, and there wasn’t any major conflict between the two of them, but Levi was pretty annoying.Jennie grinned evilly and suggested, “We have a rare opportunity here. How about we get rid of him once and for all?”“What do you mean?”“The restraining order from the Great Family of Westford is still in effect, right? For now, Levi is not allowed to visit Zoey and Forlevia, so why don’t we set a trap for him? We can invite him to the welcoming party, and he will inevitably see Zoey there. He will have inadvertently gone against the restraining order, won’t he?” said Jennie.Shaun’s eyes gleamed as he commented, “Having him break the rules in front of Thierry… that will be seen as a blatant challenge against Thierry! Thierry will surely punish him cruelly for it. That is a truly brilliant scheme. Alright, I will send my people to go work on it right away. We will make Levi attend the party tonight.”Melanie, who was standing at the side, laughed aloud as well. She exclaimed, “Great! This time, not even Enyo will have an excuse to protect him. Levi is doomed!”Jennie and Logan turned to each other and grinned.Levi will definitely meet his end this time. Tonight’s party will go down in history. Rumor has it that they spent a fortune on the party. Levi will be so surprised and glad to receive an invitation card, and he won’t realize that this is a trick.Some time later, Levi was indeed surprised to see that he got invited.He thought about it before saying, “Alright, guess I’ll go to the party.”His answer delighted Shaun and the others.Their only concern had been that Levi might refuse to show up…As for the other members of the Lopez and Black family, they knew nothing about it.Before heading to the party site, Shaun deliberately went to Judy and asked, “Ms. Langston, what will happen if Levi ignores the rules and insists on dropping by to see his wife and daughter?”A ferocious glare shot out of Judy’s eyes. She answered, “Since Grandpa issued the order himself, anyone who dared disobeyed it will meet an untimely death! As far as the Great Family of Westford is concerned, Grandpa’s words are the law and must be obeyed!”Hearing those words got Shaun and the others to sigh a breath of relief.That’s good to know. This means that Levi will surely die once he sets foot in here.Logan chuckled and said, “Let’s get our hands on all of his organs after he’s dead. Seriously, his kidney is freaking amazing. My body has become much healthier ever since the surgery.”“Of course we’re getting his organs. Honestly, I would want to have his kidney too, but I am terrified about having surgery,” shared Shaun with a smile.Jennie and Melanie grinned in amusement as if their scheme had already succeeded. “Ahh, I feel so much better just thinking about his death.”The party that night was hosted in the best location in all of North Hampton.They spent a fortune on the decorations, and honestly, they were extremely close to pulling out the floor and replacing it with gold.It was as if they were welcoming an emperor.Thierry and Judy showed up at the party site while being pampered by the Lopez and Black families.The entire North Hampton was excited.They stood in two straight lines and cheered simultaneously.It didn’t take long before Levi and North Sky Lord showed up.Levi wanted to know what scheme was being played on him. Why did they send me an invitation card?Chapter 1375Apart from that, Levi wanted to see how Zoey and Forlevia were doing.Even with an invitation card, it should have been difficult for Levi to get into the party site.However, Shaun had deliberately made some arrangements, so Levi walked into the place with ease.“Levi is here!”“Yes! Our wish is about to come true!”Shaun and the others grinned excitedly when they heard about Levi showing up.On the other side, Levi also learned the identity of the person who sent the invitation card.He guessed the perpetrators’ intentions right away.Ah, so they want to con someone else to do their dirty work.“Hah,” chuckled Levi.Do they think Thierry can destroy me? Puh-lease, the guy can be ten times braver, and he still won’t have the guts to come after me. Those idiots are so dumb.Meanwhile, the members of the Great Family of Westford were enjoying everyone’s admiration.They loved the attention and wondered why they didn’t drop by earlier. They even regretted showing up that late.We should have just enjoyed ourselves here.On the other side, the Lopez family’s power elevated sharply.The family and individuals that the Lopez family once admired had turned around and were now being extremely respectful toward the Lopez family.The Lopez family had reached a different level.Naturally, Thierry and Judy were delighted by the outcome of the party.Thierry, however, chuckled and said, “How great would it be if that young man shows up here at the party?”Judy pouted a little and pointed out, “Grandpa, powerful men like that won’t show up at parties. Don’t they usually prefer silence over hanging out in a crowd?”“That’s true. I guess it’s not possible for us to meet him here, then,” said Thierry as he stroked his beard.Harry was quick to contribute and suggest, “Thierry, all of North Hampton’s powerful figures are gathered here tonight. They should know practically everything about North Hampton. We can ask them about the guy.”“Hmm, okay,” replied Thierry while nodding.After that, Thierry sent Judy to go mingle with the other youngsters.The Great Family of Westford needed to build a foundation there, so it would do Judy good to mingle with them.Everyone treated Judy like she was a princess as they gathered and praised her endlessly.Quite a number of men showed an interest in courting her, but Judy wasn’t into any of them.Even heirs of the Four Great Families could not capture her attention.At that moment, she only had one person in mind.She scanned around.It was unlikely, but she still instinctively hoped that he would show up.“Ms. Langston, what are you looking for?” asked the others curiously.“That is none of your business,” complained Judy impatiently.Her eyes suddenly glowed brightly because she saw a fleeting figure.That looks like… It looks so similar…Click! Click! Click!Judy rushed over immediately.She saw Levi, and she was certain that person was the one she met earlier.Wait, the guy doesn’t just look like the person we met earlier. He is the guy we met earlier.“Hey, go tell my grandpa that I saw the guy we met earlier,” ordered Judy loudly as she walked away.The other members of the Great Family of Westford were quick to share the news with Thierry.“What? The guy actually showed up? I will not let this opportunity slip away again!” announced Thierry as he stood up and demanded, “Find him. Spare no manpower and find him!”Everyone instantly followed Thierry’s lead. They started looking for Levi.The party-goers couldn’t even imagine it. What kind of man is the mysterious guy? How did he get Thierry so excited? Thierry even led his team in person just to find the guy!The party couldn’t progress after that.Everyone was busy looking for the mysterious man.Chapter 1376On the other side, Shaun and his pals happened to meet Levi, who was in a wheelchair at the time.“How dare you show up here, Levi? You won’t leave the place in one piece tonight!” threatened Shaun and the others.They were about to make a scene when they received a call from their family.An order was issued. They were to look for the mysterious man right away.“But…”Shaun and the others were stumped.What is up with everyone? Why are they looking for the mysterious man? They should be searching for Levi instead! We have such a rare opportunity to get rid of him once and for all. How did things change so drastically? Gah, never mind. We have to go look for the mysterious man now.Shaun and the others had no choice but to watch as Levi left. They went to look for the mysterious man after that.As they did so, they bumped into Judy, who was running over like a lunatic.“Did you guys see anyone walking by?” asked Judy excitedly.“No. We didn’t see anyone here,” replied Shaun and the others.Levi was the only one who walked past that route, but they had completely disregarded his existence.Besides, they never would have imagined that Levi was the mysterious man.“Okay, I saw him passing by, but he might be so powerful that he zipped to somewhere else. I’ll go look for him,” said Judy as she turned around to leave.“Let us help you find him, Ms. Langston. We’d have a better shot at locating him together!”Shaun and the others were quick to chase after Judy.Hence, the party ended up becoming a search party looking for a guy.Meanwhile, Zoey and Forlevia were playing in the lounge.When the little girl spotted Levi, the first thing she did was to run over and greet, “Daddy! Daddy!”“W-What are you doing here?”Zoey was obviously nervous about seeing him there.She was still angry about the way he behaved earlier, and she hadn’t forgiven him yet, but she was also worried about his safety.Thierry had sent that order in person. Things will be dangerous if others see Levi here.“I was invited,” replied Levi as he waved the invitation card he had with him.“An invitation card? Who gave it to you?” asked Zoey as she checked the card out.By right, Levi shouldn’t be given one.“It’s probably from Shaun and his pals.”“Shoot! They’re aiming to destroy you! You have to leave now,” urged Zoey.Everyone was off to look for the mysterious man, but Levi would definitely be caught if they suddenly doubled back.He will be in danger!“Since you’ve seen how Evie and I are doing, you should leave now,” urged Zoey.Levi grinned exasperatedly and replied, “Okay, then. I will come to visit you again soon, Evie.”After making his promise, Levi got North Sky Lord to push him away and head over to the exit.Thierry and Judy had searched every inch of the place by then, and they had left no stones unturned.Unfortunately, they still couldn’t find Levi anywhere.It was as if he had vanished out of thin air…Everyone went to the entrance to look for the guy, but he wasn’t there either.With disappointment burning in their hearts, the gang turned away from the entrance and got ready to return to the party.“Don’t be sad, Grandpa. We met him once, and we’ll meet him again,” said Judy to offer some comfort.Thierry nodded and said, “You’re right. It’s only natural for someone as powerful as the mystery man to move in irregular patterns. Everyone must work hard and find out who he is as soon as possible. Do not let the other three great families get to the guy before we do!”“We don’t know anyone that matches that description. In fact, it seems that no one like that even exists in the North.”“It’s true. We have never even heard of someone like that before.”Meredith and Robert were discussing the matter.Russell, who was walking in front of them, thought that the description somewhat matched Levi.But in his current state…On the other side, North Sky Lord was pushing Levi toward the entrance.Chapter 1377The two parties would meet each other soon.Meanwhile, Shaun was scheming about how he would make Levi bump into Thierry.Hah, it would be so great if they meet head-on! Levi won’t even have the chance to beg for mercy.“Wait, could he have been in the lounge? We searched everywhere except the lounge,” suggested someone.“Right! That is possible!” blurted everyone as the revelation hit them.Meredith immediately instructed, “Russell, run ahead as quickly as possible and go to the lounge. Hurry!”Hearing that order got Russell to run as fast as lightning toward the lounge.Everyone else sped up as well.Russell was fast, but he met Levi on the way over to the lounge.“Levi, what are you doing here?” asked Russell curiously.The mere thought of how Thierry and the others were right behind him got Russell to sweat nervously.Levi will definitely be in danger if they see him here!“Levi, follow me over. Stay here for ten minutes before you leave, okay?”Russell pushed Levi to the garden at the side without offering any other explanation or giving Levi the opportunity to ask anything.Levi understood what Russell was doing, so he didn’t stop the latter.Russell ran ahead to the lounge after hiding Levi away.It didn’t take long before over a hundred guests ran past the corridor and head over to the lounge.North Sky Lord didn’t leave with Levi until everyone had walked past them.At the lounge.Zoey and Forlevia were the only ones there when Russell showed up.“You didn’t see anyone around here, right?” asked Russell.“I saw Daddy…” answered Forlevia instinctively.Russell quickly warned, “Evie, dear, don’t tell anyone that your daddy came, okay? Not even if they ask.”“Okay, I understand,” replied Forlevia as she nodded obediently.Russell talked to Zoey for a while about whether she saw anyone else…Before long, Thierry and the others reached the lounge.“Is he not here?” asked Thierry in disappointment.Russell shook his head.“Zoey, did you see anyone around here?”Over a hundred guests turned their attention to Zoey and Forlevia.The number of people scared Forlevia.Zoey was worried that Forlevia would let their secret slip, so she was quick to hold her daughter in her arms.“No, I didn’t see anyone around,” lied Zoey as she put on an oblivious expression.Russell sighed a breath of relief.“Well, that’s disappointing. I thought we’d be able to meet the mysterious man,” commented Thierry sadly.“Let’s continue with the party,” suggested Judy as she waved.Meanwhile, Shaun and the others had secretly gone to a corner to discuss how they would destroy Levi.“Watch and learn…” said Jennie before she stepped forward and declared, “Mr. Langston, I’d like to report someone to you.”“What is it?” asked Thierry.Everyone shifted their attention to Jennie.“I want to tell you about Levi Garrison! I saw him at the party site earlier, and it is likely he snuck in here to visit his wife and daughter! His action is no different from disrespecting you and the Great Family of Westford. You have already issued the order and banned them from seeing each other. As such, Levi is, in effect, taunting you!” said Jennie evilly.Thump!Both Zoey’s and Russell’s heart skipped a beat at that.Levi has been discovered?The two started praying that Levi had already left. If he had stayed, he will no doubt die today.“He did what? That insolent punk!” growled Thierry angrily.Cora was furious as well. She demanded, “Hurry and get Levi over right now! How dare he taunt Thierry like that? I won’t forgive him!”“Understood!”Everyone spread out immediately.Chapter 1378“I will station some men around the compound and lock him in. He won’t get away with it!” promised Shaun as he grinned smugly.Jennie and the others were smiling brightly as well.All that’s left is to wait and watch Levi perish!Zoey and Russell panicked.D*mn it, things will be grave if Levi isn’t already gone.What came next was the members of the Great Family of Westford leading the team in person to locate Levi.Taunting the head of the Great Family of Westford is a huge sin. He can die a dozen times, and he still won’t be able to atone for it!Shaun was quick to get the guards to stop Levi from leaving.However, the guards claimed that they never even saw Levi. It seemed the guy was nowhere to be found within the compound either…“Huh? How is that possible? Why would Levi leave all of a sudden? This can’t be!”Shaun couldn’t understand what was going on.Why would Levi leave for no reason?Everyone else was stumped as well.Zoey and Russell, however, heaved a breath of relief.Thank the heavens he already left.“Keep searching the region! If we catch him within a few miles of the place, then we can prove that he dropped by earlier. Take him to me immediately after you catch him,” instructed Cora.The fighters of the Great Family of Westford took off right away and conducted the search extensively.Unfortunately, they couldn’t find anyone even though they had spent a lot of time on it.Eventually, a team came back with news, and everyone rushed over.At that moment, a car had been detained.“Who’s in there? Everyone is to get out of the car right away!” roared a fighter of the Great Family of Westford.The door was opened soon after, and two people got out of it.“Is something wrong?” asked North Sky Lord in an annoyed tone.“Y-You are…”When the fighters of the Great Family of Westford saw the terrifying yet familiar face of Levi’s, they instantly got so scared that their words got stuck in their throat.Their scalp became so tingly that it felt like their head would explode.A few men there were with Thierry, so they met Levi before.They recognize him immediately.“I-It’s…”The leader of the group stammered. He couldn’t even say a word.Thump!Thump!The men fell and knelt as soon as they came around.They never imagined that they would meet the exceptional talent that Thierry was looking for.Shoot! We actually blocked his road and stopped his car. We’re so dead.Even Thierry treats the guy like a VIP! Yet, we just stepped on his tail…Levi frowned and complained, “What do you want? Are you here to rob me or something?”The men paled in fright.“N-No, not at all. We won’t dare to.”They were on the verge of spewing blood.We would never have the guts to do so.“Then f*ck off already!” demanded Levi coldly.Levi and North Sky Lord got back into the car.“P-Please wait. O-Our master would like to see you, sir,” informed one of the men right away.They finally found Levi, so there was no way they could let go of an opportunity like that.“I’m busy, so just scram, won’t you? Also, if you dare follow me, I’ll kill you!” warned Levi icily before he left with North Sky Lord.The members of the Great Family of Westford stood there. They didn’t know what to do next.“Why are you still standing around here? Report the matter to the master right away!”The men came around and rushed back to the party site immediately.Inside the lounge.“Where’s Levi? Did you find him?” asked Cora.Everyone ignored her. They went to Thierry and reported, “Master, Levi Garrison is no longer important because we just found the mystery man!”“That’s right. It seems that Ms. Langston was correct, and he was here earlier!”One sentence was all it took. Everyone was flabbergasted upon hearing what was reported.The entire place was plunged into dead silence.It took Thierry some time before he came around.“What? You guys found him?” blurted Thierry in excitement.Judy was even more delighted.“Yes, we are certain we found him. We saw him with our own eyes!”Chapter 1379Everyone nodded simultaneously.They simply couldn’t forget what they experienced earlier.Thierry and Judy rushed over immediately and demanded, “Where is he? Take us to him now!”“He already left. He warned us against following him and said that he would kill us if we do.”The men looked terrible.“I guess that is understandable…”Thierry slumped down like a deflated balloon.“This is still great news, though, Grandpa. At the very least, we’ve confirmed that he is here in North Hampton. That means there is a good chance we’ll find him!” said Judy.Thierry clapped in delight and agreed, “You’re right! Okay then, you lot did a good job for locating him, so you will all be rewarded.”Thierry was looking at the search party as he said that last sentence.That got everyone to cheer maniacally.They almost died, but they ended up being rewarded for the minuscule courage that they showed earlier.No one cared about Levi anymore, and Zoey was glad about it.She didn’t care who the mysterious man was, all that mattered to her was the fact that Levi was fine.Shaun and the others, however, were infuriated.They finally had a chance to destroy Levi, but something like that happened.“Levi Garrison, you are too f*cking lucky! I can’t believe you got away with it.”Shaun and the others looked like they couldn’t believe what had happened.With that, the incident finally came to an end, and Thierry and the others started staying in the Lopez residence.The Lopez family was busy everyday.Powerful figures from all over Erudia dropped by to visit.Levi, on the other hand, was still investigating The Avengers.The good news was that Oakland City had reported and claimed that they had finished making the magical medicine. They would distribute the medicine to those who had contributed to the country.Important and talented people like Benny Quinton were especially in need of the magical medicine.Their continual health and wellbeing would benefit too many people, and that makes them Erudia’s biggest assets.Soldiers like Levi, who would need to travel to the war zones and fight their enemies, also needed that medicine.In a way, giving them the medicine would be equivalent to using the best steel on the edge of the sword.That is how they would benefit the most from the magical medicine.Hence, no one complained when Erudia announced that it would reward the medicine to the nation’s heroes.They didn’t voice up either when they learned that Levi would get the medicine as well.The man had given his blood, sweat, and tears for the country in the past, after all…What they didn’t know was that Levi was still sweating and bleeding for the country. He was simply doing it from behind the scenes at the time.It might even be right to say that he contributed the most to the country.Hence, there was no one more deserving than him to get the magical medicine.The announcement was made public, so everyone was aware of it.Both the Lopez and Black families were quick to learn that Levi would be getting the magical medicine.“According to my network, it is said that the effects of the medicine are incredible. It could even bring someone back from the dead and extend their life! They could live until their hundreds.”“Yeah, and I heard that when they were experimenting with the medicine, they managed to revive ten people. The government is rewarding the medicine to the country’s heroes to make sure they live longer!”“I know! Rumor has it that the medicine costs a fortune. A foreigner once gave up his private island to get his hands on that medicine!”Shaun and the others exaggerated more and more as they gossiped. They practically regarded the medicine as a divine elixir.It was true that the medicine could speed up a person’s recovery and extend their life, but bringing someone back from the dead was definitely off the table.It was not possible for a medicine to do that, but everyone had already bought into the lie.It got to the point where a number of people were trying to steal that medicine.“Levi has that medicine with him?” asked Cora.“That’s right. He was rewarded because he contributed to the country,” replied the gang.“It would be such a waste to let Levi keep it. I will give you guys an assignment now. Go get the medicine for me. I will present it to Thierry, and that will most certainly delight him. He will reward everyone for it afterward,” said Cora.Everybody’s eyes gleamed with excitement upon hearing that.Chapter 1380Their future would be bright if they could present Thierry with that medicine.At that moment, they were only somewhat connected to Thierry via Cora.They didn’t actually have a rapport with the guy.However, if they gave Thierry the medicine, they would be forming an actual alliance with the Great Family of Westford.They would not need anyone else to help.The Lopez and Black families would become an official part of the Great Family of Westford.That meant that both families would prosper until the next century… or even longer!Harry and Meredith had dreamed of that their entire life.They wanted to make a real change.“We must treasure this opportunity!” said everyone as they clenched their fists.Everyone already had a plan.“I’ll give you my word that I will definitely get my hands on that medicine, Cora.”“There is no point in letting Levi have that medicine, anyway. He is not worthy of it!”Everyone agreed to it.“Good, I am pleased to hear that. I believe that Thierry would be extremely happy to have that medicine,” said Cora.Everyone wanted to get their hands on the magical medicine when they learned of its existence.That was especially true for people like Thierry, who held a lot of power.They truly craved it.Levi had just received his gift when someone showed up at his doorstep.That was the first time those particular guests were that polite to him.Everyone asked Levi how he was and seemed worried about his physical condition.Even Meredith, Harry, and their companions had a drastic change of attitude.Something like that would never have happened in the past.“Is everyone here for this?” scoffed Levi.“That is not the only reason we dropped by. We came mainly to congratulate you for the incredible honor given to you,” said Meredith as the others grinned brightly.“Thank you!”“So, uh, Levi… Where is that medicine? Can we take a look?” asked Meredith after she turned and looked at the others.Levi shook his head in exasperation.Guess they finally showed their true colors, huh?Levi expected that because he knew that those people would never visit him out of the kindness in their hearts.“The medicine is sealed in a vacuum container and cannot be seen,” replied Levi, blatantly refusing that request.Meredith’s expression changed slightly, but she remained smiling as she asked, “Levi, how do you plan on using that medicine? I’m guessing you haven’t taken it, have you?”Levi rolled his eyes at her and pointed out, “You lot showed up right after I receive my gift. I haven’t had the chance to use it.”“That is fantastic news, Levi! Give me the medicine. I will pay you however much you want!” offered Meredith and the others, who were going all out.They would exhaust their family fortune for that medicine.Being a member of the Great Family of Westford… That is worth so much more than just money.“That’s right. Just give us a number. We are genuine about having it!” urged Harry and Robert.They were adamant about getting that medicine.At that moment, everyone had their eyes on Levi.“It’s not for sale,” refused Levi immediately.I will not sell it, and it doesn’t matter how much they offer.Everyone was stunned.However, they were quick to come around.Ah, we made a mistake. Levi doesn’t need the money. Despite his physical state, he is still rich beyond belief because he has Enyo on his side. He will never need money under these circumstances.Everyone turned to one another.Meredith seemed to have thought of something. She grinned and offered, “Then how about you ask for something else? We will do anything you want!”“That’s right. We will do anything for that medicine,” added Harry as he rubbed his hands together in excitement.Everybody’s breathing became rushed as well.That was especially true for the younger generation.They were even more eager to be labeled a part of the Great Family of Westford.Unfortunately, Levi ignored them and didn’t reply.Just then, Robert voiced up and offered, “How about this, Levi? If you hand the medicine over, we will let you and your family reunite.”
