The Return of God of War Chapter 1641

While Rico was coaxing him out, Severus barked, “Floyd, come over here with your men and escort Mr. Johnston out!”

“If Levi attacks, you will have to stop him!”

However, Floyd and the others just stood still, as if they didn’t hear a word.

“Floyd, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear me?” Severus yelled.

However, there was still no response.

“Floyd…”

Severus felt the urge to curse but decided against it given how powerful Floyd was. Hence, he chose to bear with it instead.

“This is my master’s territory. Therefore, I will obey his will. If you want to take him away, you should do it yourself,” Floyd replied coldly.

“You guys…”

Severus and Rico almost burst a vessel.

Levi smiled. “I have given you the key and offered you the prisoner. However, it’s not my fault if you can’t get him to leave.”

Rico and Severus were stumped.

What’s going on?

“Mr. Johnston, please trust us. We will ensure that you are safely sent back to Zarain.”

“With us around, Levi won’t dare harm you.”

Both of them were desperate to get Byron out.

However, when Byron lifted his gaze, he saw Levi’s eerily harmless smile, as if he was the devil himself.

Trembling in a corner, it was obvious from his expression that he refused to leave.

He didn’t for a second doubt that Levi would dismantle his robotic body the moment he stepped out.

“I’m not leaving! I’m fine here. Stop asking me to go!”

Byron even pushed Rico and Severus out before locking himself in the cage.

After that, he threw the key somewhere far away.

“What…”

“I…”

Both Rico and Severus were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t believe what had happened and how traumatized Byron was by Levi.

Consequently, both of them left after failing to free Byron.

They reported the matter to the Dragonites upon their return.

“Actually, Levi does have a point. He is making a stand on behalf of Erudia.”

“Exactly. How can we allow a criminal to go free without any consequences?”

“This cannot be tolerated!”

Most of the Dragonites agreed with Levi’s actions.

Severus and Rico responded at once. “We don’t deny that all of you are right. However, given how sensitive this is, we should play it down as far as possible.”

“It does make sense. Given that there are more Supreme class fighters emerging. It would be wise not to spark a conflict under such incendiary circumstances.”

Everyone agreed the rationale was sound.

At that moment, a messenger arrived with a report. “Sir! Zarain’s envoy, Mr. Randy Wiggins, is here and demands that we give him Byron. They are acting aggressively and intend to take him by force!”

“Rico, why don’t the both of you go again. Perhaps, Levi will change his mind when he sees the envoy from Zarain. After all, he is smart and knows how to read the situation.”

“Exactly. Now isn’t the time for Erudia to get into a conflict. We are still not powerful enough and need more time to gather our strength.”

A few hours later, Levi saw the group arrive at his place.

He was stunned by how quick the response was.

However, when he saw the foreigners with them, he immediately understood why.

“Are you here for the prisoner?” Levi asked.

“That’s right. We are,” Randy replied.

“Where are the keys? I’ll release him myself.”

When Levi pointed to where the keys were, Randy was surprised at how cooperative he was.

He isn’t as difficult as how they made him out to be.

Picking up the key, he opened the cage.

“Let’s go, Byron.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1642

Randy and his men smiled.

This seems too easy.

It’s entirely different from what the Dragonites had described. They must have misled me on purpose.

“Hmm?”

However, they were stunned to find Byron curled up in a corner, not moving a muscle.

“Byron, we’re here for you. Let’s go!” Randy urged.

However, Byron looked at Levi with his face covered in tears.

He didn’t dare leave without Levi’s permission.

It made no difference to him that the envoy from Zarain was there. He was still just as terrified.

“Hmm? What’s the problem? Why aren’t you moving? Come, let’s go now!”

Randy went up to Byron and dragged him along.

Byron screamed in terror, “No, I can’t leave. Without his permission, I dare not leave!”

Byron didn’t dare risk it.

If Levi did dismantle his robotic parts, he would certainly die.

“What’s going on?”

Only then did Randy and the others realize what the holdup was.

Byron needed Levi’s permission to leave.

“What do you want? Why don’t you let me leave with my man?” Randy questioned Levi.

Sipping a cup of coffee, Levi replied with a smile, “I’m not stopping you. In fact, I even gave you the key. It’s him that refuses to leave!”

“Why don’t you want to leave?”

Everyone turned their attention to Byron.

With a fearful expression, Byron explained, “I can’t leave without his permission!”

When they saw how frightened Byron was, everyone felt angry and powerless at the same time.

His behavior had disgraced Zarain.

Randy stared Levi in the eye. “Tell him right now that you agree to let him leave!”

Rico and Severus added, “Levi, grant him permission at once! Now that the envoy from Zarain is here, we can put an end to the matter. If we continue to mess around, things will go out of hand!”

“Exactly. I’m sure that you understand, given that you used to be a high-ranking official of Erudia. Let’s end this quickly!”

Levi was outraged. “What’s wrong? Who is the one that had committed a crime? He came to Erudia to steal and was caught red-handed. We have the proof and reason necessary to imprison him!”

“Are you proposing to let him off scot-free?”

“This…”

Rico and Severus were stumped.

Randy was infuriated. “That’s your problem. All I care about is leaving with him. Release him now!”

“I won’t do so! Let’s see if he dares to leave without my permission,” Levi bellowed angrily.

Byron trembled as Levi’s words struck fear into him.

“Levi, you have gone overboard now. Do you know who we are? We are envoys sent by Zarain to secure his release. Let him go at once or prepare to suffer the consequences!”

Randy played hardball as he was adamant that Levi should release Byron.

“I don’t care who you are! Heck, it doesn’t matter even if you are God himself! As long as he has committed a crime, he has to be punished for it! Get out now! All of you, get out!”

Despite how aggressive they were, Levi was way more domineering than them.

However, Randy dragged Byron out in defiance. “Let’s go! Whoever tries to stop us will be going against Zarain itself.”

“Try me.”

Levi stared at Byron.

However, Byron dropped to his knees and pleaded, “You guys should just leave without me! If you really want to save me, you will need his permission. That’s the only way.”

After giving Byron a look of disappointment, Randy stormed off in anger.

Before he left, he threatened Levi, “You started this. And now, you have made enemies of Zarain!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1643

“Levi, you’ve really caused a big mess this time!”

With that, Rico and Severus left in a huff.

Levi did not appear to mind. After all, I’m a man of reason.

He turned to Byron, who was in the cage, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. You’ll be locked in there for the time being. Don’t even think about leaving!”

“Okay,” Byron replied, nodding vehemently.

I can’t believe that a Supreme class fighter like me is suffering in a place like this. I hope that Randy will be able to bring reinforcements after he returns. Either I have to make Levi yield to me and release me, or he’ll have to send someone powerful to drag me away.

Meanwhile, the Dragonites were shocked to find out that the Zarain envoys had left just like that.

“This can’t happen! If Levi continues what he’s doing, it’ll be a catastrophe!”

“That’s right! The Zarain envoys were evidently angry, and they even said that Levi had caused trouble!”

Rico and Severus were airing out their grievances when someone suddenly said, “To be honest, I feel that what Levi did was right!”

“Hmm? Why do you say that?” Everyone turned to look at the person that had spoken.

The person explained, “At times like these, we should act even more ruthlessly! If we keep giving in blindly and worry about causing trouble, it’ll only get worse! This time, it is just stealing from the museum. But next time, things could escalate. The women in Erudia could become the next target, or there might be killings and destruction! So, the more they assume that Erudia won’t dare to cause trouble, the more ruthless we should be!”

Hearing that, everyone fell silent.

“Yes, you’re right. The more we put up with it, the weaker we seem, and we’ll end up giving others the chance to take advantage of us. Erudia doesn’t stir up trouble deliberately, but we won’t shy away from confrontation! If someone provokes us, we’ll fight back! Go and announce to everyone that Byron Johnston has broken Erudia’s laws will be punished!”

When Levi heard the announcement, he gave a satisfied smile.

That’s more like the Dragonites I know, and that’s more like the Erudia I know. Hmph! That man had the guts to cause trouble, so there’s no need to be afraid of him or show him mercy!

In the end, Byron was sentenced to ten years in prison and stripped of his powers.

The harsh sentence was to serve as a warning to all those who harbored ill intentions toward Erudia.

The people of Zarain were infuriated when they heard the news.

They had not expected that the Dragonites would side with Levi and become so strong.

There was nothing Zarain could do to put pressure on them anymore.

Over at the manor, Bruce was furious when he heard the news.

“Preposterous! How dare they do that to my brother? You’re forcing my hand!” he growled.

“Master, it was our fault,” said the two butlers as they knelt on the floor, shaking like a leaf.

Bruce’s gaze gradually darkened.

“Why didn’t you watch over my brother properly?” he demanded, letting out a cry of frustration.

Then, he placed one hand on each butler’s head.

“Ahhh!” they cried out in agony.

A dark energy swirled around Bruce’s hands and began sucking the life force out of the two butlers, who screamed in agony.

The two men’s bodies shriveled and aged rapidly before finally falling to the floor with a thud.

All that was left were two skeletons lying among a pile of clothes.

The others present shuddered in fear as they knelt on the floor.

It was simply too terrifying!

“Don’t worry, brother. The allied army will invade Erudia very soon, and I’ll rescue you from that hellhole! Erudia will be ours, and you’ll be able to do whatever you desire!” Bruce muttered angrily.

As he gazed into the distance, he added, “And that Levi Garrison! I’ll be sure to remember his name and make him pay the price for his actions!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1644

“Right, our next course of action is to get in touch with Erudia’s Supreme class fighters as well as those from Raysonia, Keerea, and other neighboring countries! I’m going to destroy Erudia once and for all, and nowhere in that country will be safe!” Bruce declared with a maniacal smile.

When Erudia’s Supreme class fighters attack, we’ll surround them. It’ll be so terrifying they won’t know what hit them.

“We have to make haste and act quickly! We mustn’t give Erudia the chance to defend themselves!” Bruce called out.

His plan was to expedite efforts to gather forces for the allied army to attack Erudia and rescue Byron as soon as possible.

“I’m going to meet someone important today. Prepare the cruise ship!” Bruce ordered.

Half a day later, Bruce stopped the cruise ship in the middle of the glimmering sea.

That particular stretch of sea was infamously known as Devil’s Lair.

The weather was unpredictable; thunderstorms were frequent occurrences, and boats often went missing in the area. Therefore, sailors deemed it as a forbidden area and dared not sail too close.

Well aware of its dangers, the captain and crew trembled in fear. “We should leave! It’s too dangerous!” they called out.

Nonetheless, Bruce appeared calm and said with a smile, “Don’t you think I know that this is Devil’s Lair? But did you know that hidden in these waters is Poseidon’s Palace?”

Everyone gasped in shock. There are people living in Devil’s Lair?

Bruce continued, “You must be wondering how these people could’ve lived here for years, but let me put it this way. They’re invincible in the sea! What’s terrifying is that they probably have more than one Rank Six Supreme class warrior and seven or eight Rank Five Supreme class warriors! So, we can only imagine how many more skilled fighters they have! After all, the harsher the environment, the stronger the warrior!”

Everyone was amazed to hear that.

Bruce smiled and said, “That’s why I said that they’re invincible in the sea!”

“Master, so you’re here to invite them to join the allied army?”

“Yes, that’s right!” Bruce nodded.

Suddenly, there was a loud crack of thunder, and a flash of lightning split the air. A thunderstorm was brewing.

The stormy water tossed the cruise ship from side to side, causing everyone to panic.

However, Bruce yelled gleefully, “They’re here!”

As soon as he said that, there was another loud rumbling sound, and the earth began to shake.

Then, they saw an ancient palace rising slowly from the depths of the water.

“Oh my god! My heavens!” Everyone was stunned.

They had never imagined that something like that would emerge from the sea.

In the end, Bruce met with Poseidon, and they struck an agreement after hours of discussion. At the same time, many others from all over Zarain agreed to join the allied army.

Previously, they had only approached individuals or small groups of Supreme class warriors. But now, they were reaching out to even more powerful forces such as Poseidon’s Palace.

With so many Rank Six Supreme class warriors joining them, it felt like the gods were on their side. That was the effect of the Supreme class warriors’ presence, and their numbers were only increasing. What would happen with so many warriors gathered together—one could only imagine.

As the anticipation of the impending battle intensified, the calm before the storm became increasingly suffocating.

The Return of God of War Chapter 1645

Although Erudia was building its forces and their number of Supreme class fighters was increasing, their efforts were merely a drop in the bucket compared to how quickly the allied army was growing.

Instead of focusing on growing their number of Supreme class fighters, the allied army had shifted their focus to increasing their Rank Six Supreme class fighters.

So far, there had not been a Rank Six Supreme class fighter in Erudia, not to mention among the Dragonites.

The only person they knew of was the previous Governor of Wildefield, who was now a mummified body.

Meanwhile, Levi had not been idle either.

Based on what Byron had said and his analysis of the current situation, he could sense imminent danger.

Despite his disappointment with the Dragonites, he would not sit back and do nothing when the safety of Erudia, as well as his friends and family’s safety, was at stake.

Whoever dares to attack Erudia will taste my wrath. As a warrior, I have to answer the call of duty.

Therefore, he began making preparations.

He secretly trained a team, which he nicknamed Dragon Defenders, to protect Erudia and its people.

In addition, he came up with many new techniques and strategies. Some of them could level up one’s skills at an accelerated speed, while others worked at a more gradual pace.

He even provided prescriptions for enhancing one’s strength and physique.

In short, he did everything he could.

After all, it would not be enough to rely on Floyd and the others.

He continued training them.

Now, there were more Supreme class fighters among them, and Floyd was the one who improved the fastest.

If given enough time, Floyd could even concoct his own magical medicine since he had been taught ancient medicine, the long-lost art of acupuncture, and how to concoct magical medicine.

Time passed quickly. It was soon time for Levi to visit Forlevia. This time, she had been allowed to return to North Hampton for two days.

Therefore, Levi left for Wildefield early in the morning.

When he saw Forlevia. he noticed that she had improved both in sensibility and ability, having learned almost everything she could at Wildefield in just two months.

Meanwhile, Zoey and Mia were now Ultimate class warriors, which was something Levi had expected.

Given their innate talent and solid foundation from his training, they were able to increase their battle prowess very quickly.

“Before Evie leaves, there’s somewhere we want to take her. Why don’t you join us?” Avery said coldly.

“Sure!” Levi agreed.

He followed them and finally arrived at the previous Governor’s grave.

“The reason we brought you here is so that you can thank the old Governor. If not for him, you wouldn’t be here,” Avery said to Forlevia.

“Yes, Mr. Fairclough,” she answered and knelt on the ground obediently.

Zoey nodded. “Yes, you should be grateful to the old Governor. He was the one who rescued you!”

She was about to kneel too when Levi stopped her.

“Why should you kneel before him? He’s just a mummified body now,” Levi sneered.

“What are you talking about, Levi? He’s not dead, and he’s not a mummified body!”

“That’s right. If it’s true, then who saved Evie?”

Everyone began to protest.

“It was me, of course. It had nothing to do with your old Governor! You can’t expect a mummified body to crawl out of the ground, can you?” Levi replied with a disdainful smile.

“Such insolence! He saved your daughter, yet you dare to speak ill of him! You should kneel and bow before him in gratitude. Kneel!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1646

Avery and the others urged Levi to kneel.

Even Zoey and Mia agreed with what had been said.

The old Governor saved Forlevia just like how Lance did previously.

Therefore, as Forlevia’s father, Levi should kneel in gratitude.

“Levi, why don’t you just kneel and express your gratitude? After all, he’s an elder, and he saved Evie. You did the same to Lance too, didn’t you? So, why are you making such a big deal out of this?” said Zoey.

When Levi heard that, he was stunned.

“When did I kneel and thank Lance?” he retorted.

He’s my disciple. How would he dare to let me kneel before him?

“Many people saw you do it, so stop pretending!” Zoey replied, looking exasperated.

Levi is just too proud. Everyone knows what happened.

However, what she did not know was that Lance was the one to kneel before Levi.

“Forget it! He doesn’t have to kneel!” Avery said impatiently.

Avery finally let them leave after Forlevia had thanked the old Governor.

However, he sent numerous skilled warriors to protect Forlevia on the journey. In fact, he almost went himself.

When they reached North Hampton, they found that the Lopez family, the Black family, and the Jones family had planned a grand welcoming ceremony to celebrate their return.

It was a lively affair with the loud sounds of firecrackers, gongs, and drums ringing through the air.

The people there had placed all their hopes on Forlevia, Zoey, and Mia.

It was not only because of their identities but also because they were formidable warriors, even by the Great Family of Westford’s standards.

“You didn’t let us down! Zoey and Mia are now both Ultimate class warriors! The both of you excel in every area and have truly made us proud! This banquet is in your honor, so go ahead and enjoy to your hearts’ content!”

The banquet was organized by several families.

When they saw Levi about to sit together with Zoey and the others, someone remarked, “Levi, you should move elsewhere. This table isn’t where you should be sitting.”

They did not think that he was qualified to sit with Zoey and the others. To them, he was only an ordinary person with a past.

He did not hold a candle to Zoey at all, and especially not since Zoey had leveled up to become an Ultimate class warrior.

Forlevia, Zoey, and Mia were seated at the main table.

Even Aaron and Caitlyn had accepted them as martial artists.

After all, times had changed, and many reclusive martial artists were living among the citizens.

Caitlyn sighed loudly and said, “I must say that my daughter is just too capable! It’s a pity she got married so young!”

Everyone had looks of disgust on their faces.

Now that the gap in status between Levi and Zoey was widening and Forlevia seemed destined for a bright future, Levi was becoming more of an eyesore. However, no one could do anything about it.

“Levi contributed too! Without him, there wouldn’t be the genius that is Evie,” Thierry said with a smile.

George laughed. “That’s true! His biggest contribution is Evie!”

Everyone tittered.

Shaun and Logan clutched their stomachs and bellowed with laughter when they heard that.

“To think that a man’s greatest contribution is his child! Haha!”

“Levi, you’re a disgrace to us men. You’re not a real man! You’re nothing more than a tool for making babies!

Everyone was looking at Levi with contempt and started mocking him after hearing what Thierry and George said.

Suddenly, Levi stood up and beckoned at the two men. “Step outside with me.”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1647

As soon as the words left Levi’s mouth, a deep silence befell the crowd.

As stunned as they were, Thierry and George couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you talking to us?”

“Yes! Get the hell out right now!” Levi ordered as he stood and walked away.

Thierry and George exchanged a smile before following suit.

“No one is to follow!” they shouted to the crowd.

Deep down, Thierry and George were bubbling with excitement.

In the past, they felt so oppressed around Levi that they never dared to speak their minds.

However, now that Levi was just an ordinary man, it was their golden opportunity to get back at him.

Soon, Thierry and George had followed Levi into a secluded corner.

“What’s the matter, Levi? Not happy with us? Do you want to beat us up?” Thierry asked before bursting into laughter with George.

Levi’s lips curled into a devious smile as he scoffed, “You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that.”

“Of course we do. Do you think you’re still in power, Levi? Take a good look at yourself. You’re nothing but an ordinary person now, so stop trying to boss us around! What a joke!”

Levi glared at the two men and asked, “Did you two call me a baby-making tool earlier?”

“Oh yes, don’t you think there’s a lot of value in that? We do hope you’ll give us a few more kids, and hopefully, they’ll all be like Evie!”

“You will be so highly revered, and everyone will be looking forward to all the kids you’ll be busy making! Hahaha…”

Tickled by their jokes, Thierry and George doubled over with laughter.

It felt exhilarating knowing that the person who had once lorded over them was now being humiliated by them.

“So you think that’s funny?” Levi asked flatly.

“Oh, it’s so funny! Of course—”

Bang! Before Thierry could finish his sentence, a punch had landed squarely on his mouth.

At that instant, blood splattered out of Thierry’s mouth, and a few of his teeth flew out as well.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Levi immediately followed up with several consecutive slaps until his face turned into nothing but a bloody mess.

“Levi Garrison! What the hell are you doing?” George bellowed.

“And you too!” Levi shouted before appearing in front of George.

Bam!

Levi raised his leg and sent George flying with a devastating kick.

It was just one kick, but the force from it had nearly killed George.

Thierry and George were dumbfounded. Everything that Levi had done was not what an ordinary man could do.

Indeed, Levi was no ordinary man.

It was what others had thought, but Levi had never attested to that.

“Is this how you talk to me?” Levi asked with a smirk.

Thierry and George instantly got on their knees and begged for forgiveness. “No, we would never. We’re sorry! We were wrong!”

“Watch your mouths. If you don’t want them, let me know, and I’ll smash them into your heads!”

With his stark warning issued, Levi turned and left.

Back at the banquet, the rest of the guests were chatting among themselves.

“Hey, haven’t Levi and the other two been gone for a while now? I hope nothing bad has happened.”

“Haha, I’m sure it’s because the two of them are teaching Levi a lesson.”

Everyone threw their heads back in raucous laughter as they continued with their gossip.

Even Cora and Meredith chimed in, “Levi is getting way too arrogant. I’m glad someone’s teaching him a lesson!”

“Exactly! And what’s wrong with calling him a baby-making tool? That’s the only thing he’s good for,” Caitlyn added.

It seemed like the more Zoey climbed the ranks, the more everyone had to say about Levi.

Seeing how worried Zoey had become, Mia couldn’t help but comfort her, “Don’t worry, Zoey. They won’t dare to do anything to Levi!”

Just then, Thierry and George had made their way back to the banquet and ordered, “From now onward, nobody is to disrespect Levi!”

Cora gasped as soon as she saw her brother. “Thierry, what happened to your mouth?”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1648

It was only then that everyone realized how badly battered and pale Thierry was.

Even George looked to be injured and in pain.

It was evident that someone had beaten them up. Unfortunately, as to the how and why, no one was any the wiser.

Another glaring issue was the absence of Levi, which made the guests wonder if Thierry and George’s injuries were his handiwork.

If it were true that Levi had beaten them up, then there could only be one explanation.

Gradually, the terrifying realization sank in, and everyone broke out in cold sweat.

“I said something wrong and got punished for it. Watch your words, everyone. Otherwise, you’ll end up like me,” Thierry warned sternly.

Everyone nodded fearfully, not daring to ask what had transpired exactly.

Just like that, the banquet came to an end.

However, everyone still had plenty of questions swirling about in their minds.

“Hey, what do you guys think happened?”

With a glower, Melanie replied, “Isn’t it obvious? Wildefield has issued a warning with an attack!”

“That’s right. Evie’s current status in Wildefield is high! And since Levi is her father, he’d naturally come under their protection!”

“I see. No wonder Thierry and George got beaten up and even issued a warning to us!”

Even Zoey and Mia agreed with them.

Wildefield did indeed have very high hopes for Forlevia.

Previously when Levi was rude toward Avery, not only did Avery put up with it, but Wildefield also gave him a pass.

After all, how could they let anyone humiliate Forlevia’s father?

Upon arriving home, Zoey went up to Levi and said, “See, Wildefield has helped you once again. You really ought to thank them!”

Levi looked all confused for a moment before realizing what Zoey meant by her words.

Oh boy, they’ve misunderstood again.

Fine, I’ll let them think what they want!

“By the way, Abigail’s coming back in a couple of days. If I happen to be in Wildefield then, please take her there to find me. I haven’t seen her for so long,” Zoey reminded.

At the mention of Abigail, Levi felt himself thinking back to the good old days.

Like Zoey had said, it had been a very long while since they last met Abigail, and it would be nice to meet up again.

Since Wildefield had only given two rest days, Levi had to make the best of it.

As such, he brought Forlevia out to play, letting her live an ordinary life as much as possible.

It had also been a long time since Zoey met up with her classmates and friends, so she decided to hold a gathering for everyone.

As soon as they heard of it, Levi too attended the gathering with Forlevia in tow.

Many of Zoey’s classmates hadn’t seen one another in a long while either, so it made the gathering all the more heartwarming.

Tap tap tap.

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps rang out.

When everyone turned to look, all they saw was a tall man dressed impeccably in a suit and leather shoes, looking very suave and dapper.

At first glance, nobody could recognize him.

“A-Are you Jared Schmidt?” Zoey finally asked.

“What? It’s him?”

As soon as Zoey mentioned his name, the crowd flew into an uproar.

Even Levi was shocked to the core.

Jared was their high school and university classmate. He had always been the epitome of a nerd.

Other than acing all his subjects in school, he didn’t have any other merits.

He was, however, well known for his passion for science, to the extent that people saw him as a mad scientist.

When he spoke, he’d stutter so much that people had difficulty understanding him, and it was even worse with Zoey around.

Yet, that wasn’t surprising, as it was common knowledge that he had a crush on Zoey.

All in all, Jared was highly undesirable. Not only was he sloppy and ugly, but he also didn’t have the best living conditions as a child of a single-parent family. Naturally, no girls ever fell for him.

However, the Jared that everyone was now staring at had done a hundred and eighty-degree turn.

Everything about him, from his looks to his demeanor, had changed.

If Zoey hadn’t mentioned his name, the others would have thought he was a celebrity of sorts.

“Wow, Jared, you’ve changed so much,” one of the classmates exclaimed as everyone else stared at him in utter disbelief.

Jared chuckled and replied, “Everyone has changed even more! I’ve only changed in terms of my appearance!”

The Return of God of War Chapter 1649

Upon hearing Jared talk, Levi was even more surprised.

He’s no longer the timid and submissive Jared that I know.

As the conversation went on, Jared revealed that because he wasn’t satisfied with his appearance, he had undergone plastic surgery in Keerea.

“Everything can be changed these days, so there’s no need to hide about getting plastic surgery,” Jared said candidly.

“What are you working on now, Jared?”

“I joined a technology organization after I graduated from university. But afterward, I decided to go solo. Now I’m managing a technology company that researches and manufactures new weapons. We even have partnerships with various foreign groups!”

Everyone stared in shock and awe as soon as Jared finished speaking.

Based on achievements alone, Jared was only second to Zoey, and that was very impressive.

“Out of all of us, you and Zoey are the most accomplished. You know about martial artists, don’t you? Zoey is now a Supreme class warrior, so powerful that she can destroy the world if she wanted to.”

To everyone’s surprise, Jared was hardly impressed. “Martial artists are so wildly exaggerated. Modern technology is perfectly capable of defeating them!”

“How’s that possible? Supreme class warriors are known to be able to go up against small nuclear weapons.”

With that, everyone fell into a heated discussion about martial artists and modern weapons.

Levi, who had been listening silently, furrowed his brows.

He had an inkling that Jared wasn’t bragging for the sake of belittling martial artists.

Jared was too confident and seemed to know a lot about Supreme class warriors. There was a high chance that he was telling the truth.

To think that an ordinary person like him can scoff at our best warriors. That sure is scary!

However, Levi decided not to put too much thought into it and continued to enjoy the gathering.

As soon as it ended, Levi left with Forlevia to get the car, only to see Zoey and Jared arguing when they returned.

Naturally, Zoey was still fuming when she finally got in the car.

Levi saw the darkened gaze on Jared’s face through the rearview mirror.

As it turned out, Jared had confessed his feelings to Zoey.

He claimed that he wouldn’t mind her past, that he’d accept Forlevia as his own, and that Levi was no longer good enough for her.

“He’s crazy! He was such an honest kid back in school. How did he become like this? The more I look at him, the more I think he looks like a demon!” Zoey spat as rage continued to sear through her.

Levi nodded. “My sentiments exactly. I think the success of his business has gotten to his head and changed his entire personality!”

“All right, let’s not talk about him anymore. I don’t wish to see him again either!”

Meanwhile, in the meeting room of Stellar City’s Triple Group headquarters, a mysterious guest had paid a visit.

“Let’s cut to the chase. The purpose of my visit is to invite Triple Group to join the allied army. Here’s the list of all the members and organizations who have already joined,” the guest said as he slid a name list over to everyone.

Upon looking through the name list, the color drained from everyone’s faces. “What? They’ve all joined?”

Despite the many gasps and exclamations, it didn’t take long before Triple Group came to a decision.

“Count Triple Group in!”

Triple Group might look like a run-of-the-mill company, but in reality, they were a powerful force.

They had kept the true extent of their power well hidden until Gods’ Promise got destroyed.

Only then did they gradually show their prowess.

“However, Triple Group has a request.”

“What is it?” the guest asked quizzically.

“When the time comes, you have to give us Levi!”

Their request was simple, but it amused the guest so much he started laughing. “What has Levi Garrison done to be the number one target? Everyone has made the same request, which is to hand him over!”

The people from Triple Group froze for a moment before asking, “What? Who else is asking for Levi?”

“There are so many I’ve lost count. But I can tell you that there are at least thirty forces in the allied army that want Levi and more than a hundred individuals who want Levi dead!”

The mysterious guest continued, “Those asking for him are Supreme class warriors. I honestly have no idea how Levi has offended all of you.”

At that instant, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

“It’s because Levi single-handedly drove us out of Erudia and ruined everything for us!”

“He even killed the successor to Triple Group! There’s no way we can take that lying down!”

A smile broke out on the guest’s face. “Then he does deserve to be killed! Tell you what, I’ll hand over Levi and his entire family to you. You can do whatever you like to them!”

After a pause, the guest continued, “By the way, I heard that Triple Group is very advanced in technological and genetic engineering areas. You’ve even secretly created many warriors that are of Supreme class quality, haven’t you? We need your exact numbers, so we can better come up with our battle plan!”

The senior management of Triple Group exchanged nervous glances before giving a rough breakdown of the information requested.

After going through the numbers, the guest drew a sharp breath.

“T-This is terrifying! Triple Group’s combat prowess is at least five times stronger than what I had imagined!”

The new information might have come as a surprise, but it was a most pleasant one.

“I don’t think these numbers include the new Supreme class warriors you’ve recently recruited. If we were to add them all up, you’d be at least seven or eight times stronger than what we had anticipated!”

No one from Triple Group refuted the guest’s claims as they were all true.

Ever since the Gods’ Promise got broken, Triple Group had gone on a spree to recruit as many Supreme class warriors as they could.

Those who had volunteered to work with Triple Group were aplenty too.

“As long as it’s to go up against Erudia, we are willing to chip in whatever resources we have!”

“There’s a secret that we initially wanted to take to our graves. But now that the allied army wants to fight Erudia, we don’t mind sharing it!”

Knowing that Triple Group was about to reveal a massive secret, the guest stared wide-eyed at them.

“What’s the secret?”

“Everyone knows that the Supreme class warriors are the strongest and that not even bombs and bullets would work on them. But you know what? Now there’s a kind of weapon that’s able to kill them!”

With his jaw dropped in amazement, the guest mumbled, “What?”

He was still staring in disbelief when he added, “There’s such a weapon?”

“That’s right! We’ve seen it with our own eyes! This weapon is capable of obliterating a Supreme class fighter with just a single shot! It’s so powerful there won’t even be a trace of their bodies, much less their soul or consciousness!”

“The engineer who designed this weapon said that it works by converging all its power into a single point. No Supreme class warriors would be able to deflect its shot unless they were of the higher ranks!”

“Using the weapon would undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to any fighter who goes up against it!”

The guest was shocked to the core after hearing the capabilities of the weapon.

“So if we were to use this during our battle with Erudia, we could essentially blow up all of their Supreme class warriors?” he asked excitedly.

“Of course! We’ve had to sacrifice countless Supreme class warriors to test this out. If we deploy large quantities of this weapon, Erudia’s warriors are sure to fall like dominoes,” Triple Group’s senior management said with a laugh.

The mysterious guest, who was a messenger from the allied army, started to bubble with excitement. “That’s amazing! Where can we find this weapon, and is it manufactured by Triple Group? We will have to get this at all costs!”

“It’s not manufactured by us, but by another company in Erudia. But Jared, who’s managing it, is backed by us! We have invested a lot of technology and funds into developing this weapon. Getting our hands on it and mass-producing it wouldn’t be impossible!”

“Good. Then I shall leave this matter to you. You have to get your hands on this weapon, no matter what. If there’s anything else you need, feel free to let me know!”

“Excellent. We look forward to working with you!”

With the scheme in place, Erudia was about to face even greater danger.
