The Return of God of War Chapter 1401
It was completely different from what they were expecting.
How could it be this easy?
Levi did not resist and even gave them the medicine willingly.
This can’t be it!
What did he mean earlier?
He had been waiting for us?
Hmm…
As if on cue, everyone’s pupils shrank and their eyes widened in anxiety.
Is he going to…
They all shared the same terrifying thought.
“Well? Take it!”
Levi shoved the box forcefully into one of the men’s hands, and the man looked down at it in surprise.
Is he really just giving it up?
Immediately, Levi continued, “Even if you have it now, you won’t be able to leave this place alive!”
“W-What?” The men standing around Levi stammered as they felt their knees weaken.
For a moment, they were expecting Levi to stand up on his feet and declare that he was fine all along.
What came next, however, was Levi chuckling in amusement, saying, “I’m joking. I was only trying to scare all of you.”
Pointing at the medicine, he then earnestly stated, “Since I already gave you the medicine, all I ask of you now is to spare my life.”
Instantly, the men let out a collective breath of relief.
For just a moment there, they were scared witless.
“Hahaha, this is Erudia’s God of War? I thought he would be an impressive man, but he is so much less than what I thought of him,” one of them whispered in disbelief.
Another man muttered, “I can’t believe he valued his life so much that he gave away the magical medicine that Erudia specially gifted him.”
More of such mocking comments began to arise amongst the men. “All he had was a formidable title! Seems like there are only cowards in Erudia, and none of them is worthy as our opponents!”
“Levi is but a piece of shit, and the God of War title is nothing but a joke.”
After Levi declared that he was giving away the medicine in exchange for his life, everyone was quick to ridicule him.
“We were going to kill you, but we shall spare your life this time!” one of them sneered.
“Who knew that the mighty God of War would hand over the precious medicine on his own accord. This mission is a walk in the park!”
“If news of this gets out, how embarrassed do you think the people of Erudia will feel?”
After all, the Avengers were enemies of Erudia.
Therefore, they were more than thrilled to witness such a situation unfold.
Amid their taunting, Levi was actually celebrating inwardly.
“Levi, are you really willing to give it away just so that you can survive?” one of them jokingly asked.
Looking like he was humiliated, Levi nodded and hung his head low. “Of course I’m willing! If you spare my life, I will gladly let you take this away from me.”
“Hahaha!” The group of them laughed and left with the magical medicine in their hands.
Little did they know that Levi was grinning behind them.
It was all part of his plan, and they had took the bait.
He had done so much in hopes that they would come to take the medicine from him.
For now, he would not strike, and there was no need to kill those that just came.
If he did so, it would only alert them and reveal his original intentions, which was not ideal as it would mean that he would never be able to get what he wanted from them.
As such, Levi decided to give away the medicine first.
Only then it would allow him to tail them and find out who was the mastermind behind it all.
As for those men, they never would have imagined that Levi was tracking their locations the moment they left the manor.
Shortly afterward, North Sky Lord walked in. “Master, everything is going according to the plan. Our men are right behind them.” He puffed up his chest and assured, “This time, even though we might not be able to flush all of them out, there should not be a problem with catching some of the big bosses responsible for everything.”
Thrilled, Levi grinned. “Good! Remember to keep a close watch on them, and be sure not to lose that bunch! In the meantime, we will wait till we can catch them at the right time.”
“Master, hats off to you! Not only are you highly skilled, but your strategies are spot-on as well. What a misfortune for them to be your adversary!” North Sky Lord laughed.
The group that left minutes ago was in a good mood as they headed for South Hampton.
And the happier one was, the more likely they were to let their guards down.
Not only were they oblivious to the men following behind them, but they also failed to notice the micro tracker attached to their bodies.
Now, Levi was well aware of every move they made.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1402
Levi was going to make a move in person this time.
With the information collected from the trackers, he arrived at South Hampton with North Sky Lord.
The men that they were tracking were headed into a secret training base.
A man, who seemed to be in charge of the mission, wore a black mask with a tiger print.
“Did you complete the mission?” He questioned.
“Yes, Black Tiger. The mission went successfully, and here is the medicine.” One of his men went forward to present him the box.
“How about Levi? Did you kill him?” Black Tiger raised an eyebrow and asked.
“We did not kill Levi… But Black Tiger, please hear me out first…”
After his subordinate finished his story, the masked man seemed pleased.
“Is that true? The mighty God of War was willing to hand this to you just so that you would spare his life? Hahaha…”
“Yes. That was also the reason why we decided to let him off since he seemed so pitiful.” The men felt a boost of pride after seeing their leader’s reaction. “Black Tiger, did you know that he not only presented the box with the medicine to us, but he also told us the password to it. I guess he was scared out of his wits!”
In response, Black Tiger chuckled. “This is great. You have to spread this news out as soon as possible. I want the whole of Erudia to know how the God of War has betrayed them!”
“Understood!”
“Apart from that, we have to send the medicine to the headquarters as soon as possible. The leaders and Prince William are waiting,” Black Tiger ordered.
Soon, the group of men left South Hampton.
At that time, Levi was right on their tracks, but he did not make any moves.
Perking up at the words “headquarters”, he thought he should dig further into the matter.
At the break of dawn the next day, news had spread like wildfire about how Erudia’s God of War had sacrificed the prized magical medicine in order to save his hide.
The headlines talked about his readiness to give up on the drug so that he could stay alive.
His actions not only disappointed Erudia but the general population too.
It was an utter embarrassment to Erudia.
The fact that the God of War had lost his will to fight for the country was a devastating blow to Erudia and the other heroes of the country.
As soon as the news got out, it sparked a widespread discussion.
Once again, Levi was the talk of the town.
“I can’t believe Levi turned out to be a shameless rat! How could he betray Erudia like this?”
“Isn’t his dignity more important, especially since he is the God of War? I would rather die than kneel in front of my enemies if I was in his shoes.”
“I can’t believe he easily gave away the prized gift just to negotiate a way out. He deserves none of my respect!”
“Levi surrendered like a coward. He is the biggest shame of Erudia!”
In an instant, insults of all kinds were hurled at Levi, and it seemed like no one was on Levi’s side anymore.
Convinced that he was a traitor, most of them did not hesitate to criticize him.
To them, Levi was selling out their country’s honor.
If the magical medicine was leaked to outsiders, it would surely result in a devastating impact.
At that point, Levi became Erudia’s greatest humiliation.
Some even started branding him as a shameless traitor.
In fact, Levi seemed to have reached a stage where he could no longer redeem himself.
If he were to meet someone in the streets, they would likely drown him in their spits as they criticize him endlessly.
Such an experience would probably be scarier than a chicken trying to cross a road.
Levi’s tarnished reputation had left Erudia’s reputation in tatters as well.
Given so, outsiders watching the matter could not help but cheer and leap with joy.
To make things worse, many other countries and external forces even released statements on their willingness to take Levi in as a friend of theirs.
It was as good as putting a nail in the coffin on the talks that he was a traitor.
There was no way he could save his reputation anymore.
Unexpectedly, when the news reached Levi, he only smiled.
The Avengers and Zarain are the same.
They love to resort to such despicable methods.
“I did not expect Levi to sell us out. He has other medicine too!” When the Lopez and Black families heard about the updates, they were quick to shame Levi.
“I’m embarrassed to be an Erudian now!”
“Our family is too unlucky to have a scum like him among us.”
Everyone thought he still had the medicine.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1403
“No matter what happens, I will never be a traitor!” Logan declared.
“Levi should be hammered to the pillar of shame forever.”
“It’s too embarrassing to have anything to do with Levi! I’d rather jump off a building than be associated with him now.”
The Lopez and Black families were the masters at being rude.
Now that Levi was in trouble, they could not help but throw in sarcastic comments.
They started to comment that Forlevia would never acknowledge him as a father and that Zoey would never want him as a husband.
Most of his relatives spoke like that.
They did not care for his success and were delighted to see him fall from grace. Not only so, they were even jumping at the chance to add salt to his injury.
What happened to Levi was the epitome of how years of trust and respect could be broken down in the blink of an eye.
In fact, if Levi showed up in front of them, he would probably be drowning in his so-called relative’s insults and criticism.
“No, Levi isn’t someone like that,” Zoey huffed in disbelief. “There must be something wrong with the news!”
Amidst the numerous criticisms thrown at Levi, Zoey tried to defend him as best as she could.
“Daddy loves Erudia! He would never do something like that!” Forlevia shouted in frustration too.
In response, Melanie stared at Zoey in amusement. “Do you still believe him at this point? The whole world knows about it. You are the only person who can’t accept it!”
“Exactly! Besides, all those foreign countries have declared their willingness to accept him. Who knows, he might have run away a long time ago and betrayed the country in exchange for success and wealth.”
Shaun and the rest began to blabber on.
However, Zoey shook her head fervently. “That’s impossible! Levi must still be in North Hampton. He would never betray Erudia, and he would never leave this place without a word!”
“Why don’t we confront him about it, then? We shall see if you believe that he is still hanging around here after that,” the rest challenged.
“Yes! The truth shall be revealed once we go to his manor.”
Truth be told, Shaun and Logan were actually making blind guesses and did not wholeheartedly believe that Levi had left either.
It was only because they were getting excited that they blurted out those words.
“Sure, I will go with you guys to prove Levi’s innocence!” Zoey agreed.
Shortly after, she took the group of people to the manor.
George, who recently returned from the North, was in charge of guarding the manor.
“This is…”
Zoey looked at him in curiosity.
“Zoey, look at how much Levi is hiding from you. He has a new butler he hired to watch the gates, and you don’t look like you are aware of it,” Jennie mocked.
George gazed at the crowd before him. “What do all of you want?”
“This has nothing to do with you, old man! But if you must know, this woman here is Levi’s wife and the owner of this manor,” Shaun pointed out.
George was startled to hear that Zoey was Levi’s wife, and he immediately opened the gates for her.
Then, Zoey brought them into the manor.
The place was empty without anyone in sight.
There was only a wheelchair in the middle of the area.
“See! Didn’t I tell you that he ran off?” Shaun’s eyes twinkled as he let out a triumphant smile.
“Levi must have escaped overseas and betrayed the country. Urgh, how I wish I could slap him right now!”
Acting as though they were purveyors of justice, they began hurling insults.
Boom!
At this juncture, Levi’s absence was a blow to Zoey’s heart.
Of all the times, why did you have to leave at this particular moment?
“Look, he must be in a hurry. He did not even bother to take his wheelchair with him.”
Logan eyed the abandoned wheelchair.
As for Zoey, she was looking around frantically, but she still could not spot Levi anywhere.
Exasperated, she walked over to George and asked, “Do you happen to know where Levi is?”
“I think he left North Hampton, but I don’t know any other details,” George replied truthfully.
“He must have ran off!”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1404
George’s reply only affirmed Levi’s departure.
Although he desperately wanted to fill Zoey in, he knew it was top secret and had no guts to spill it.
“Levi is a traitor!”
“Zoey, you can’t clear his name this time.”
Everyone else was beaming as they were delighted to see that Levi had hit rock bottom.
“I…”
The words got stuck in Zoey’s throat.
She decided to remain silent for the time being, thinking that she would prove them wrong when the time comes.
Although Levi’s behavior was out of the norm, she still trusted him.
He is not someone who would betray his country.
Just because he is sitting in a wheelchair, it doesn’t mean that he is any less of the man that he was before. In fact, he is someone who would rather die than beg and kneel for his life.
“We should exile him from Erudia immediately! Letting him stay as a citizen would only result in the country’s embarrassment.” Zoey heard more scornful remarks.
“From today onwards, I shall declare that I no longer have anything to do with Levi.”
“Zoey, both you and Evie should also break your ties with him. Otherwise, everyone else will see the two of you as criminals like him!”
Everyone started to announce that they were severing ties with Levi.
Even so, Zoey could only sigh.
When they returned home, Cora also found out about the matter.
“Very well, he no longer has the right to visit you! As long as I’m alive, there’s no way I’m letting him anywhere near you or Evie.”
Cora was livid.
Even Thierry was furious.
He had tried so hard to get his hands on the medicine only for him to almost lose his life when he got it.
Who knew that Levi would commit such a treacherous deed by giving the medicine away?
It was impossible for Thierry to stay calm.
If the Crown King finds out about this, he’ll probably blow his top off.
“This can’t do. I must let the Crown King know about this.”
The more Thierry thought about it, the more irked he felt.
Almost instantly, Judy stopped him. “But Grandpa, don’t you think the Crown King would have known about it by now? He probably has taken measures against it.”
“No, we still need to do our part in reporting it!”
Thierry wanted to use this chance to show his loyalty to the Crown King.
Taking Judy with him, they soon arrived at Levi’s manor only to see George alone.
“Leave, and don’t you dare try anything funny,” George warned and gestured for them to leave.
He could tell what Thierry was up to.
The news of Levi being a traitor continued to fester, exacerbated by how the neighboring countries were reacting to it.
When the news broke out, the other countries were the first to taint Levi’s reputation by announcing that he was in cahoots with them.
For instance, they released the rumor that Levi let the Blood King Palace off on purpose.
Many countries also announced that they would love for Levi to become their citizen.
That was not all. Some even promised Levi a high position and a spot in their royal families should he migrate there.
He would be worry-free with all the prosperity and wealth handed to him.
Regardless, those claims only further ruined his reputation.
Almost everyone believed that Levi had turned his back on Erudia.
Therefore, they condemned him, and it painted a negative light on Erudia as well.
Despite so, this was a situation those hidden forces enjoyed most.
If it wasn’t because the Lopez and Black families were a part of the Great Family of Westford, they would have gotten implicated too.
It did not take long for groups of people to travel to North Hampton for Levi as they sought to denounce him as a traitor in person.
With all the chaos happening around her, Zoey felt tormented.
While she needed to see Levi, she wished that he would not appear as well.
If he did, things would get complicated, and there was a high chance that he would not be able to handle it on his own.
On the other hand, if he does appear, she would clarify that he did not betray Erudia without hesitation.
Amidst all the furor and bedlam, the Garrison clan from Oakland City was the one that got hit the worst.
In fact, Erudia had even started boycotting them.
Meanwhile, the man in question, who was heavily criticized and cursed about, was currently doing his best for Erudia.
He managed to tail the crooks, arriving at Oakland City.
Ecstatic, he thought about how great it would be to uproot the Avengers once and for all.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1405
Black Tiger and his men were overjoyed.
Not only did they have their drug, but they also managed to ruin Levi’s good name.
Hearing about the numerous nasty remarks made on Levi, they were elated and felt a strong sense of pride.
They never thought things would escalate to this stage.
The nosedive effect was likely because Levi had built up such a good reputation from before.
“I guess it was a good choice that we spared his life. Otherwise, the outcome would have been different from what we got.”
“Exactly! He probably wishes to be dead at this point.”
Black Tiger and a few others started chattering among themselves.
Much to their ignorance, Levi was keeping a watchful eye on them.
So, these are the culprits.
These scums from Erudia were in cahoots with those from Zarain all along.
Soon, Black Tiger brought them to a villa.
The security around the villa was rather strict, and they would likely notice anyone who was within a few kilometers from them.
Nonetheless, Levi and his men were not worried.
They easily snuck into the villa.
According to their intelligence, Levi and West Sky Lord had concluded that the Avengers had a strict hierarchical system.
Their ranks were determined by the color of their masks.
The head of the bunch wore a black mask, and the next in command wore a gold mask.
As for the third-ranking individuals, their masks were silver in color.
This time, Black Tiger led his team personally, which showed just how much the Avengers valued the matter.
Before they could enter, they had to go through a series of complicated procedures before they were allowed into the living room.
Levi and North Sky Lord made sure to follow closely behind them while hiding in the dark.
They had a full view of the living room, and they only saw one person there who was wearing a black mask with a phoenix pattern drawn on it.
Judging from the figure of that individual, it seemed like she was a woman.
She was the second in command of the Avengers—Black Phoenix.
“Black Tiger, did you complete your task?” Black Phoenix interrogated.
“Yes, I have. We have reached our goal, and here is the medicine.”
With the thought of gaining more brownie points, Black Tiger gleefully reported, “We’ve also managed to ruin Levi’s reputation!”
“We are already aware of that,” Black Phoenix mused while inspecting the box that held the medicine.
“Not bad. When the leader returns, all of you shall be rewarded handsomely!”
Holding back the urge to yelp in joy, Black Tiger asked curiously, “Is the leader not in Oakland City?”
“The leader is in Raysonia and will not be back for the time being,” Black Phoenix replied.
Hearing that, Levi silently sighed in disappointment.
He had thought of getting rid of all the Avengers once and for all.
Yet, it turned out that the leader was not present, leaving only the second in command here alone.
Regardless, this confirmed that the Avengers had close ties with various overseas forces.
Since the leader was headed to Raysonia, it spoke volumes about his ties with the people there.
Not to mention the ties he had with Zarain.
Since he has connections with many other overseas forces, he probably’s done numerous deeds to harm Erudia.
For some reason, Levi suddenly thought of the smile that Tenichi had on his face before he died.
It seemed like the dying man knew a lot about what was going on.
The reappearance of the Blood King Palace and the poison used to hurt me probably has something to do with the Avengers as well.
“Black Phoenix, will you be the one sending the medicine to Prince William?” Black Tiger tried to pry.
“That’s right. I have already discussed with Prince William, and his men will collect it tonight.”
Then, Black Phoenix turned her attention back to the medicine. “Are you sure that there’s nothing wrong with it?”
“I am certain. Levi passed it to us himself, so there’s no way it would be a fake!” Black Tiger declared.
“Haha, it’s laughable that Levi would do such things to survive.” Black Phoenix chuckled in amusement.
“Since nothing is wrong with it, you can come with me to pick up the messenger sent by Prince William.”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1406
Black Tiger followed Black Phoenix out of the villa obediently.
The group was being very cautious, especially Black Phoenix.
She had checked the path they were going to take to ensure that there was no danger and no one trailing behind them.
Despite so, Levi still managed to follow behind them in the dark.
It did not take long before they arrived at an upscale area in Oakland City.
Most of the residents were wealthy businessmen who came from overseas, and few people came by.
Since the area was relatively deserted, the Avengers thought that it was the perfect place to meet.
Soon, Black Phoenix and several others entered a manor and waited for Prince William’s messenger to arrive.
Meanwhile, Levi and North Sky Lord had also sneaked into the place.
“Black Phoenix, Erudia has really suffered a heavy loss this time!
“Not only did they lose their precious medicine, but they also lost it to us. Prince William’s men would be able to analyze the ingredients, and it’d no longer be unique to Erudia.”
Black Tiger let out a hearty laugh. “Not only that, Levi’s name has also taken a hit. How great is that!”
Nodding, Black Phoenix rejoiced as well. “Well, as criminals to Erudia, we could not be happier with this outcome!”
Their eyes flashed with hatred.
“That’s right! Everybody in the Avengers is a crook to Erudia. Each one of us had committed heinous sins.”
“Well, we were destroyed by Erudia. They labeled us as sinners, and we could no longer hold our heads high in society. We should have been prospering and bathing in wealth, but Erudia took that away from us!” They spat spitefully.
“We have vowed a long time ago to fight against Erudia till the end. As long as we are alive, Erudia will never live to see a day of peace.”
Everyone was letting their mouth go off as they complained about Erudia.
From the shadows, Levi finally realized who the Avengers were.
Based on what they said, these are all sinners of Erudia… they have all committed serious crimes.
They were probably big shots and had lived luxurious lives before.
However, they were stripped of their privileges when Erudia branded them as offenders.
In the end, the hatred they had for Erudia was what kept them going.
And after more and more of them found each other, they formed the Avengers.
Hmm… seems like they have been targeting Erudia all these years.
That’s it.
Hatred.
Resentment.
All of them had a strong grudge against Erudia.
They believed that Erudia had deprived them and robbed them of their entitled lives.
Instead of thinking about the rationale of Erudia’s actions, they only thought of blaming others.
They only ended up in this state because of the numerous crimes they had committed, after all.
Some of those in the Avengers had committed murder, while others committed treason and so on.
However, they only knew to blame others and did not know to reflect on their actions.
It was as though they had done nothing wrong.
Their hatred had blinded their eyes to the point that they were willing to betray the country they were born and raised in.
They are all scums!
As Levi thought about it, he clenched his fists, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes.
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to kill all of them.
However, he still held himself back in view of the bigger picture.
At least he gained more knowledge on these people now, and it was a win in his books.
His next move would be to conduct a thorough investigation on them.
All he needed to do was to run through the list of criminals in Erudia who had committed monstrous crimes, and he would surely be able to identify them.
Even though they wore a mask, he could still pick them out.
“That’s right! Next, the leader will plan something that will take the world by storm. I’m looking forward to it!”
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1407
Black Phoenix’s eyes were filled with anticipation and wild excitement.
Black Tiger and the others were equally riled up.
“Is it true?” everyone asked.
“Of course! Or else, our leader wouldn’t have personally gone to Raysonia. He is there to finalize the plan,” Black Phoenix declared proudly.
It was obvious how much confidence she had.
“How big is it really?”
Black Tiger’s eyes lit up.
Black Phoenix laughed. “If the operation is successful, it will deal Erudia a blow so devastating that their citizens would suffer a crisis of confidence…”
Gasp!
Black Tiger and the others caught their breath.
They knew that their leader’s plan would definitely be massive.
But, they still didn’t expect it to be this colossal.
“To be honest, we should be thanking the Four Great Families. By breaking the agreement, they allowed all the factions that have been working in the shadows to step out. And that’s how we got our break.”
Black Phoenix beamed.
“Exactly! The current situation is advantageous to our cause,” Black Tiger declared with a smile.
Clenching his fists in the darkness, Levi’s eyes sparkled.
They must be a bunch of lunatics to be planning something so big!
From the looks of it, it would have a massive impact on Erudia.
Fortunately, Levi had set a trap and they had fallen for it.
Or else, he wouldn’t have found out about their plan.
Despite not knowing the details, he could at least make preparations in advance.
“What is the detailed plan?” Black Tiger asked.
“Hmm? It’s classified. Do you really want to know?”
When Black Phoenix raised her voice, Black Tiger was cowed into silence.
Having seen that, Levi realized how frighteningly disciplined this organization was.
Despite the fact that Black Tiger was also wearing a black mask, he wasn’t told of the plan.
A while later, an envoy from Prince William of Zarain arrived.
“Hmm. Prince William is satisfied with the results you have shown and will fulfill his promise to you. The thirteen islands will belong to you forever!”
“You can declare independence from Erudia and establish your own territory!” the envoy proclaimed with a smile.
“Thank you, Prince William!”
Black Phoenix and her men were filled with excitement.
After the envoy received and scrutinized the drugs, he informed, “Prince William knows that you’re planning something massive. Hence, he has offered to fully support your operation in whatever way he can.”
“We greatly appreciate the prince’s generosity! If our plan comes to fruition, Prince William and Zarain would stand to gain tremendously.”
“Mmm-hmm. It was a pleasure working with you!”
With that, the envoy left.
Levi sent someone to tail him. Furthermore, he had also filmed the entire transaction and recorded their brief exchange at the same time.
That was the evidence he could leverage when he wanted to deal with the collaborators in Zarain in the future.
Now, that he had sent someone to follow the envoy, he would be able to expose the conspirators in Zarain one by one.
Levi believed this group of men were the ones responsible for the death of his comrades years ago.
He felt the urge to attack them right away. However, he had to restrain himself for the sake of the bigger picture.
As for Black Phoenix, Levi assigned one of his elites to trail her too.
He sought to control the Avengers and also discover their identities.
After that, Levi and North Sky Lord went back. After all, he needed to make preparations to defend against the Avengers’ earth-shattering plan.
The consequences would be dire if he didn’t pre-empt it.
Suddenly, North Sky Lord had a question. “Master, did Prince William’s man take the drug?”
“Yes!”
“Is the drug real?”
North Sky Lord suddenly felt nervous.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1408
Although North Sky Lord’s origin was unknown and he had no family nor friends, he was still an Erudian at heart and loyal to the country.
Hence, he was concerned that the drug had been taken away.
Wouldn’t the formula be revealed? It would deal a devastating blow to Erudia.
“It is! After all, the bait needs to be tempting enough for them to bite. Given their capabilities, they would quickly find out if it was a fake,” Levi explained.
North Sky Lord sighed in resignation.
Suddenly, Levi burst into laughter. “Of course, I wouldn’t be that foolish to give them the actual drug just like that. The research for the drug took a very long time. Consequently, there were tens of thousands of failed prototypes that were produced and tested. The drug I gave them was one of the later-stage prototypes. Hence, they won’t realize it for the time being. By the time they complete the analysis of the ingredients and produce the drug, it would already be way too late.”
It dawned upon North Sky Lord that when the Dragonites brought up the drug, it was all part of Levi’s plan.
Therefore, Levi wasn’t worried about the drug falling into Prince William’s hands.
“North, inform East to lead his men to Raysonia and find out what is going on there. Also, get West to mobilize all resources available to investigate. If that isn’t enough, use my title as the Crown King to bypass all the limits on his authority,” Levi ordered.
Given the urgency of the situation, Levi deployed every man he had.
“We are returning to North Hampton next. From there, I will mobilize the Great Family of Westford,” Levi remarked.
“By the way, get West to provide me the list of suspicious names from the Great Family of Westford.”
Prior to this, Levi had gotten Thierry to provide him a list of all the members within the Great Family of Westford.
He had everyone one of them vetted before he dared to deploy them.
As for those with questionable backgrounds, they had to be thoroughly investigated for any ties with the Avengers.
Conversely, those with clean records were ready to be put to work.
Meanwhile, the criticisms against Levi grew more intense with no signs of abating.
The Avengers and other foreign entities continued to fan the flames of the controversy, to the extent North Hampton was embroiled in it.
George was surprised when he saw Levi return.
“Master, you’re back! It has just been one day and there are tons of people looking for you. They almost tore down this place too.”
George was feeling depressed.
Despite being the strongest fighter in the Great Family of Westford with godlike status, he was repeatedly bullied by ordinary men.
The worst part was that he couldn’t raise his hand at them.
“Get Thierry over here at once.”
There was no time to care about public opinion.
Levi’s priority was to stop the Avengers as he still didn’t know what their plan was.
Thierry rushed to the manor once he was summoned.
“Sire, what do you need from us?”
Levi explained candidly, “Listen to my plan. The detailed mission and member allocation will be as such…”
Given that Levi had mobilized the entire Great Family of Westford for this mission, Thierry was shocked.
What’s going on? Why does he need to deploy the great family’s hundred thousand men?
“Use your authority as the family patriarch to cascade the orders at once!” Levi hurried him.
Thierry didn’t dare delay a second further. The moment he returned to the Lopez residence, he gave out the orders one by one and set Levi’s plan in motion.
]]>
The Return of God of War Chapter 1409
Thierry’s dramatic actions caught the Lopez and Black families by surprise.
What’s going on?
Even Cora was baffled.
Meredith asked curiously, “Cora, I heard the Great Family of Westford is involved in a major operation. Is that true?”
Everyone present turned to look at Cora, causing her to catch her breath.
“That’s right. This is the first time in my life I see so many men being mobilized. It is unprecedented!”
“Cora, are we now members of the Great Family of Westford?” the crowd asked.
“Of course. What about it?”
Meredith inquired, “Shouldn’t we be part of this mission too? Why are we not involved?”
Her words infuriated Judy.
“How do you intend to participate? What can you contribute? What capabilities do you even have? How many Ultimate class and God class warriors do the two of your families possess?”
“Erm…”
The Lopez and Black families were stunned by Judy’s question.
That’s true.
We might be members in name, but do we share their capabilities?
Definitely not!
“Next time, please look yourself in the mirror before suggesting anything of that sort!” Judy warned.
“Judy, we understand now. We are amongst the lowest rungs of the family. We promise to stay out of the way so as to not disgrace the Great Family of Westford.”
“That’s right. We are just a group of lowly insects. We know our place very well.”
Meredith and the others debased themselves in their attempt to curry favor with Judy.
They went as far as to describe themselves as insects and almost dropped to their knees in front of her.
After all, they weren’t even worthy of ingratiating themselves with Thierry.
Unknown to them, even Thierry had to grovel at Levi’s feet.
Meanwhile, Thierry had put in place everything according to Levi’s plan.
When he walked out, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Cora walked up to him with a large group of people behind her.
Some served him coffee and fanned him to keep him cool while others massaged his legs.
At the same time, Shaun was on his knees, offering to shine Thierry’s shoes.
“Mr. Langston, your shoes are dirty. Let me help you clean them.”
Thierry reacted to their attention with indifference.
Cora asked, “Thierry, what is the mission about? Why am I kept in the dark too?”
Just when Thierry wanted to explain, he nodded instead when something occurred to him. “That’s right, I have to keep this a secret even from you.”
“But, don’t you worry. Once the matter is over, our family’s status in Erudia will be further elevated. It has been promised to us.”
Gasp!
Cora was delighted to hear Thierry’s words.
“That’s wonderful news indeed!”
Both the Lopez and Black families were equally excited to hear it.
After all, a rising tide lifts all boats.
The more prominent the Great Family of Westford became, the brighter their future would be.
As Shaun polished Thierry’s shoes, Logan, Jennie, and Melanie helped massage his back and his legs.
“Mr. Langston, you’re a genius! We believe that the Great Family of Westford will have a glorious future under your leadership.”
“I’m proud to be a member of the Great Family of Westford!”
Meredith and Harry piled on the flattery.
Compared to what everyone else was doing, Zoey and her parents stuck out like a sore thumb.
They were unable to lower themselves to such an extent.
Fortunately, Grandma loved her.
Right at that moment, the Lopez family’s butler frantically ran in.
“Oh no! There’s trouble! I saw Levi came back,” the butler yelled.
However, he dropped to his knees in fear the moment he realized Thierry was present.

The Return of God of War Chapter 1410
The butler was sent by Harry to keep an eye on Levi’s manor.
However, he had acted recklessly by making a storm out of a teacup, alarming Thierry needlessly.
The Lopez and Black families expressions darkened.
By panicking in front of Thierry, the butler had disgraced them.
Everyone was quaking in their boots, fearful of Thierry’s anger.
Unexpectedly, Thierry asked, “Do you mean Levi the traitor?”
Given how widespread the controversy was, Thierry and Judy naturally knew about it.
“That’s him! He stole many of the drugs and even sold a portion to someone else. He has betrayed Erudia!”
“I am disgusted by the fact that I know him.”
“Scum like him should be wiped of the face of Earth!”
Everyone lampooned Levi.
Feeling indignant, Zoey clenched her fists.
“Wait, didn’t he flee overseas? Why is he back?” Melanie wondered aloud.
“That’s true. Why did he come back?”
It suddenly dawned upon everyone.
Shaun and Logan exchanged glances and remarked, “No matter the reason, we have to capture him at once and hand him to the authorities. A traitor like him shouldn’t be allowed to escape.”
“True! By doing so, the Great Family of Westford will gain credit for it. How dare he hand over such an expensive drug to foreigners!”
Everyone in the room called for blood.
Despite trying to say her piece, Zoey wasn’t given the opportunity to do so.
Levi would be in danger once he was captured.
Even if he wasn’t a traitor, the crowd would insist on branding him as such given the rancor they felt.
Having been reminded of it, Thierry’s eyes lit up.
Judy whispered to him, “Grandpa, this is a fantastic idea! It’s public knowledge that Levi is a traitor and many are hunting for him. If we can capture him and present him to our majesty, the glory would be ours.”
Suddenly, Thierry was excited by the notion.
“Quick, send someone to capture Levi. I must hand him over to the Crown King!” Thierry declared eagerly.
When he noticed the surprise on everyone’s faces, Thierry realized his excitement had caused a slip of tongue.
“Thierry, do you know the Crown King?” Cora asked at once.
“Grandpa doesn’t just know him, he has even been tasked by the Crown King to run this mission. In other words, the Great Family of Westford has the Crown King’s trust!” Judy explained.
Thierry nodded. “That’s right. The Crown King has ordered me to initiate the operation on his behalf. Anyway, this is classified. Whoever reveals it will be sentenced to death!”
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
The Lopez and Black families were delighted by the repeated surprises they experienced after joining the Great Family of Westford.
And now, we have the support of the Crown King? Our future is bright indeed…
“The good news just keeps rolling in. This is fantastic!”
Cora was equally ecstatic.
“Sigh, if only the Crown King wasn’t married. Otherwise, I would have loved to betroth Judy to him!”
When he heard the topic being brought up, Thierry was filled with frustration.
“Huh? We heard that the Crown King is only in his twenties and isn’t married yet” someone commented.
“He is! You just don’t know it”
“Let’s not digress. First, we must capture Levi!”
Thierry sent the Six Slaves and Shaun to do it.
