Ch. 1931..1940
The Return of God of War Chapter 1931
Johannes suddenly laughed aloud.
Terrell and the others were grinning as well.
“I thought that you are his heir or family or something. I can’t believe you’re just a random nobody,” chuckled Terrell.
Naturally, Levi knew what they were truly laughing about.
When Levi first mentioned the Half Phantom, Johannes and the others assumed that Levi was the Half Phantom’s disciple or family.
That was why they were scared.
They worried that he was there to rescue the guy or to seek vengeance.
Knowing that Levi was only there to ask for the guy’s help had extinguished the fear in the Hiltons.
Meh, we’ll just kill him. We cannot let anyone know that we have the Half Phantom locked up, so he must die.
Johannes was about to issue the kill order when Levi beat him to it. The latter warned, “You’d better hand the guy over without making a fuss. Don’t make me fight you.”
Levi was fearless and would destroy any obstruction in his path just to save his wife.
“Huh?”
Levi’s words stunned everyone there.
When has the Hilton family ever been threatened before?
“You are gutsy, punk. You actually threatened us.
“Fine, then let me make this clear to you. I will never hand him over, so you can forget about it. You are a rather skilled guy, so I will give you a chance. Kneel and beg for forgiveness now, and I may just let you go!” replied Johannes.
He didn’t make that offer out of kindness, though.
A man like Johannes only had eyes on profits and gains. Hence, a human life meant nothing to him.
Unfortunately, he was going through a cleanse lately.
A spiritual and superstitious friend told him that it was best if he avoided any bloodshed for the time being.
That was why Johannes was letting Levi live.
If that wasn’t the case, he would surely have Levi killed because the latter had learned such a huge secret.
“What the hell are you waiting for? My grandpa is being merciful and letting you live! Get on your knees and apologize already,” urged Sherrie.
Everyone else on site also praised Johannes for being merciful.
Levi, on the other hand, was delighted.
They want to kill me? Hah! Like they have the power to do so?
“How about this? I will give everyone here a chance. Hand the Half Phantom over in twenty-four hours, and I will pretend that none of this has ever happened.
“If I don’t see the guy by then, you will have to bear all the consequences that came with it. I will topple the Manor of Ultimate Dragonite and search for the guy myself!” warned Levi grimly.
“You…”
Everyone was stunned for over ten seconds after hearing what Levi said.
It had been decades! No one had ever dared to taunt the Hilton family, and certainly never had the guts to threaten them.
That was the first time it had happened.
And he actually gave us the time and date at which he will make good on his threat!
Shame! Complete, utter shame.
Every member of the Hilton family was so angry that their faces reddened upon hearing that insult.
Levi had truly crossed the line that time, so there was no way anyone could suppress their anger!
“Kill him!”
“Kill him!”
The crowd chanted.
Terrell waved his hand and ordered, “Kill him! Anyone who threatened the Hilton family must die!”
The skilled bodyguards were just about to attack when Johannes ordered, “Wait! Let him go today. I’d like to see just what he can do if I don’t hand the Half Phantom over tomorrow.”
Johannes was smiling brightly at the time.
As far as he was concerned, Levi was nothing more than an ant.
He may be a somewhat good fighter, but he is nothing compared to a powerful family like the Hilton family.
Still, things have gotten interesting. No one has ever threatened me like this before, and this is such a new and exciting experience!
Johannes was intrigued and curious. He wanted to know what Levi meant when the latter said that there would be consequences.
That was why he let Levi go.
So what if I don’t set the guy free tomorrow? What can this punk really do? Will he really come back to tear down the Mansion of Ultimate Dragonite? Ah, this is so exciting!
The Hilton family and the entire Goldenport Island had been too quiet over the past few years.
Nothing had happened after Xenotoph went away to train.
Hence, Johannes wanted to stir up some drama.
Terrell and the others immediately knew what Johannes was thinking.
“Alright, we’ll let him go.”
Before Levi left, he warned, “You only have one day, so you better get all your best fighters together to gang up on me.”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1932
“Hahaha…”
No one heeded Levi’s warning. Instead, they laughed mockingly at him.
They didn’t see him as a threat at all. If anything, they thought he was a joke.
“That punk is probably buying some time. I bet he’s thinking about fleeing now. That is why claimed that he would give us a day to prepare.”
“That is possible. He won’t show up tomorrow. He will leave Goldenport Island as soon as he set foot out of the gates!”
Everyone assumed that Levi was going to flee.
“Boys, keep an eye on the guy and don’t let him flee Goldenport Island! I want to see what are the consequences he was talking about,” commanded Johannes.
With that, a few powerful fighters left immediately to spy on Levi.
Terrell stepped forward and grinned before claiming, “Tomorrow is such a good day, Dad.”
“Huh?”
“Well, for starters, it’s the day the heir of the Cryptic Stream Corporation comes to visit. It is also the day when Xenotoph will return from his training, and now, it is the day when the punk dies,” replied Terrell.
Johannes laughed boisterously and agreed, “That’s true. Tomorrow is such an auspicious day. Let’s invite Xenotoph over, so we can all watch the show together!”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone laughed.
Sherrie’s father, Manny Hilton, laughed and pointed out, “Even if the punk has incredible powers, he would still die tomorrow!
After all, the Hilton family, Xenotoph, the Cryptic Stream Corporation’s forces, and all other powerful organizations on Goldenport Island would be here. “He is just a punk, so we won’t need anyone to help, though. All that is just hypothetical.”
Johannes was delighted as well. He pointed out, “Well, he told us to gather our best fighters, so I guess he’s getting his wish granted.”
Johannes regarded the ordeal as something entertaining.
What Johannes didn’t realize was that he would actually need all those fighters when Levi came knocking on his door the next day.
By then, Levi had already returned to the place where the West Sky Lord prepared beforehand.
“Master, why didn’t you just break through and rescue the guy right away?” asked West Sky Lord curiously.
“It might be all for naught if I attack that directly.
“You see, not many are aware of the fact that the Half Phantom was locked up. The older generation’s reaction showed that he had since fallen and had become a forbidden topic. That meant that he would be locked up in an obscure place, and I might not be able to find him. “In fact, I might not find him even if I turn the place into rubbles.
“There’s also the issue of them reacting irrationally. They might kill the Half Phantom if I were to force them to a corner,” explained Levi.
Revelation hit West Sky Lord after hearing all that.
“That is why you gave them a day to prepare. You wanted them to lower their guards. Heck, the God of Gamblers might even send someone to go check up on the Half Phantom. That would reveal where they locked the guy up!”
Levi nodded and replied, “That’s right. I’ve already had my people infiltrate the Manor of Ultimate Dragonite. I will learn where the Half Phantom is as soon as the God of Gamblers went to check up on the guy.”
“I am impressed. No wonder you are the boss,” exclaimed West Sky Lord.
It was just as Levi had predicted.
Johannes went to check up on the Half Phantom that same day.
The Manor of Ultimate Dragonite actually had an underground facility, but its entrance was extremely well-hidden and secretive.
Even within the Hilton family, less than three people knew of its location.
It got to the point where neither Terrell nor Manny knew where the entrance was as well.
Johannes, his personal guard, and the butler were the only ones who knew of its location.
All three of them approached the entrance and entered the underground facility.
What they were unaware of was that someone was spying from the dark.
A secret room was located underground.
The door was made of a special alloy and was so strong that even an explosion couldn’t open it.
Hence, the room could only be accessed with Johannes’ biometric scans.
Even the most powerful fighter would not be able to open the door.
That was why Johannes locked the Half Phantom there. He wanted to make sure that no one could rescue the guy.
Grumble.
Johannes’ biometric scan unlocked the door and prompted it to open slowly.
A nasty smell of decomposed meat ambushed everyone.
It was nauseating.
The room was small, and a guy was chained in there.
Dead rats and pests were lying all around.
Johannes scoffed and asked, “So, how have you been? Is the food to your liking?”
Johannes was referring to the dead mouse and pest that he had his people toss into the room every day.
Crrk!
The chain moved, and the guy tilted his head up.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1933
An ugly, scarred face presented itself to everyone. One of the guy’s eyes was blind while his other eye had crimson red iris.
The Half Phantom was born with physical distortion, and being imprisoned for such a long time only made things worse for him.
Despite that, the scary aura he exuded could still get others to tremble.
“You’re here. It’s been eleven years,” commented the Half Phantom in a coarse voice.
Johannes had the guy locked up for eleven years and in all that time, the former never visited the latter.
“I’m here to share an interesting story with you. Someone actually came here looking for you! He even gave me a day to hand you over and said that if I don’t, I will have to bear with the consequences. Hahaha…”
Johannes couldn’t help laughing aloud.
The Half Phantom, however, grinned upon hearing that. He never uttered a word.
“Who would’ve thought that there are still people out there who knew of your existence? Don’t worry, though. You will die of old age right here because no one is powerful enough to rescue you!”
The next day.
It was a memorable day for Goldenport Island because two crucial events would take place.
Firstly, it was the day when Xenotoph would return from his training.
Secondly, it was the day when the heir of the Cryptic Stream Corporation visited.
Goldenport Island was an island in Bayview with the strongest economy, so naturally, there were plenty of rich people there.
The island was just like how its name suggested.
It offered so much wealth that it might as well be gold in color.
Everyone saw the arrival of the Cryptic Stream Corporation as something of utmost importance.
Hence, there were people standing by at the airport to greet their guests.
A number of celebrities on Goldenport Island also went to the Hilton family’s place to entertain the guests.
At around ten o’clock in the morning.
An intriguing news spread all over Goldenport Island.
Xenotoph had returned from his training!
The master of magical techniques, who used to rank as the third on the Gem List, had been demoted to number four at the time. That guy was finally returning from his training.
Thousands of his disciples were on their knees to welcome him, and the ceremony was ever so grand.
Xenotoph looked stiff and grim even after he returned from his training. He showed no sign of joy at all.
“Congratulations, Master, for becoming even more powerful.”
The disciples hurried over to congratulate him.
However, all they got in return was a scoff, “What’s so happy about that? I am still ranked lower on the Gem List.”
“But now that you have returned, you can go challenge Levi Garrison. That will put you right back on the top of the list. You are the only one who is worthy of being on top!”
“That’s right. You are true number one fighter on the Gem List.”
The disciples were quick to butter Xenotoph up.
However, that only upset Xenotoph. His expression took a sharp turn, and he scolded, “Quit bullsh*tting! Things will be troublesome if others overheard what you said.
“I may have been away, but I am still attuned to what happened out there. My training was a success, and I’ve become stronger, but that only put me on the same level as the Robed Slayer who uses the Divine Sword. I am not a match against Levi Garrison, and that is something I must admit.”
Hiss!
Hearing that got everyone to hiss.
“Is he really that strong?”
“Of course he is! Why else would he be ranked number one on the Gem List? If I bump into him, I will have to surrender immediately. That is why you must never make those ridiculous comments again,” ordered Xenotoph firmly.
“God of Gamblers is inviting you over, Master.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
It didn’t take long before Xenotoph showed up in the Manor of Ultimate Dragonite.
Some time later, luxurious cars started gathering, and a helicopter made an appearance as well.
The heir of the Cryptic Stream Corporation, Jefferson, was there.
Following close behind him were the representatives of business conglomerates from neighboring countries.
Triple Group of Keerea and the Matsugami Corporation of Raysonia were just some of them.
Tons of powerful figures followed him to Goldenport Island.
Jefferson’s arrival elevated the aura at the Manor of Ultimate Dragonite.
Johannes, Xenotoph, and Jefferson sat in the most prestigious seats.
All the powerful and rich figures were sitting right beside them.
It seemed that everyone who was anyone had gathered over there.
“Thank you for coming to our small gathering today. Let us begin by congratulating Xenotoph on his successful training. We’d also like to welcome Jefferson here.”
After delivering a short, pleasant speech, Johannes grinned and replied, “I will be honest with you. I made a deal with someone, and he should be here any minute. Please enjoy the show and cheer for me when the time comes.”
Johannes was waiting for Levi.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1934
“What happened?” asked Xenotoph.
Everyone else had the same question.
Johannes gave everyone a cliff’s note version of what happened.
That prompted everyone to laugh aloud.
“God of Gamblers, you are really playful. Why are you paying attention to this? The punk was just lying to you,” said Xenotoph with a smile.
Everyone else shared his thought.
Johannes laughed aloud and joked, “Who knows? Maybe the kid has some secret up his sleeves? Hahaha…”
“Alright then, let’s wait for the guy.”
“I just returned from my training, so I am actually itching to try my new skills out. Here’s to hoping that the kid is strong enough to entertain me. Hahaha…”
Xenotoph laughed, and so did everyone else.
Everyone took that as a joke.
Jefferson, however, sneered and commented, “Cryptic Stream Corporation will always have the Hilton family’s back once the marriage is set. I’d like to see who would dare to come after them then!”
His tone was arrogant, and his words were even more so.
He was basically claiming that the Lab of Gods would be shielding the Hilton family, so no one would have the guts to come after them.
“Dad, I think that punk is just lying. There’s no way he’d be brave or stupid enough to show up. It’s simply impossible!” shared Terrell with a smile.
“The men I sent out have told me that he hasn’t left Goldenport Island. If he’s still here, then he should be dropping by soon,” replied Johannes.
“It would be so great if he came!”
Everyone was eager to watch the show.
“Come here, Sherrie. You should talk to Jefferson,” Johannes called out to Sherrie.
Jefferson had always had a thing for women like Sherrie, so his eyes shone when he saw her.
Sherrie shot a look over, but displeasure remained written all over her face.
Jefferson is nothing compares to Levi.
After witnessing how incredible Levi is, how can a girl still be interested in a mutt like Jefferson?
Sherrie was not interested in Jefferson at all.
However, she was willing to endure it all if it meant being a member of the Lab of Gods, which was running the Cryptic Stream Corporation from behind the scenes.
Sherrie had always regarded the marriage as a business deal, anyway.
“Hmm, not bad. I accept the proposal,” said Jefferson while nodding.
It might’ve been an arranged marriage, but Sherrie was extremely beautiful, so naturally, Jefferson was happy to comply.
“Yeah, that’s right. You two look perfect together!”
Everyone else started cheering.
Even Xenotoph was congratulating Johannes. “Congratulations, God of Gamblers. You will have an incredible grandson-in-law, and the family’s future will be very bright if it joins forces with the Cryptic Stream Corporation.”
Xenotoph was a master of magical techniques, but he was also a great politician and knew what to say.
“Haha, that is for sure.”
“Sherrie, what do you think?”
Johannes turned his attention to Sherrie once more.
“I…”
Sherrie hesitated. The truth was that she didn’t want to marry the guy.
Unfortunately, being born into a prominent family meant that love was a luxury she couldn’t afford.
I will marry him to be a part of the Lab of Gods.
“Yes, I accept the arrangement as well,” replied Sherrie with a nod.
Jefferson smiled immediately after.
“Then, I will inform my father of our arrangement afterward, God of Gamblers. The engagement party will be held soon, and the wedding date will be set too,” informed Jefferson.
He wanted to get married as soon as possible because he didn’t want a beauty like Sherrie to slip away.
Johannes wanted the wedding to take place quickly as well, so they were in agreement.
Everything was settled quickly.
With the issue at hand settled, Johannes turned his attention to Xenotoph.
“Erudia is in a mess now, with evil forces running wild. The powerful forces within the country are not working in sync, too. It seems that Goldenport Island is the only island that remained unaffected. We will be counting on you to continue guarding over the island, Xenotoph,” said Johannes with a smile.
They had been growing peacefully for quite some time, so it was only natural that they didn’t want outsiders to disrupt their peace.
“Don’t worry. No one will dare to have any funny ideas so long as I am here. Besides, we have you, the God of Gamblers, on our side, so there is nothing to worry about. Well, even the Cryptic Stream Corporation is about to join forces with us and make us even stronger. Goldenport Island will surely be safe,” commented Xenotoph with a confident smile.
“Haha, then we can rest assured,” replied the rich and powerful figures of Goldenport Island.
Sharing their wealth with others… That had always been their worst fear.
“By the way, where is that punk? Is he not here yet?”
Someone suddenly thought about Levi.
“I’m right here.”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1935
“I’m sure as hell that he doesn’t dare to show up…” Before Terrell could finish his words, a voice sounded out of the blue, sending everyone into a tizzy.
All of them turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A figure emerged from a distance away. It turned out to be Levi! In an instant, everyone had their eyes on him.
“Hmph! He still dares to appear before us, huh?” Freddie lambasted.
Everyone was dumbfounded; never had they thought that Levi was such an ordinary young man!
“Who’s this brat? How dare he provokes the Hilton family!”
“I know almost all the elite warriors in Erudia, even the young ones who have just shot to fame. But I don’t think I have seen this lad before,” another person commented.
“Yeah, I can’t remember seeing him at all. Pfft! What a reckless brat! How dare he gets on the Hilton family’s nerves!” the man next to him scoffed.
Voices of everyone gossiping about Levi were reverberating. It seemed none of them knew him at all. They were all sneering that Levi was digging his own grave.
Jefferson gaped at Levi for quite a while before he came to his senses. “So he’s the one who provokes the Hilton family?”
He did not know much about Erudian. Initially, he presumed that the Hilton family was facing a massive strike from an influential gang. It never occurred to him that Levi was the lone ranger provoking them.
Someone replied, “Yeah, he is the one!”
Jefferson’s face turned grim as he snickered. “How dare he provoked the Hilton family all alone. Hmph! He is indeed shooting himself in the foot!”
The bodyguards at the entrance yelled at Levi, “Stop right there!”
“Let him in!” Johannes waved at the bodyguards to give way to Levi.
The next moment, Levi strode into Manor of Ultimate Dragonite nonchalantly.
Looking at those who turned up, Levi’s lips contorted into a smirk. “It seems you take my words seriously. Almost all of them are here!”
“Haha! Of course! I’m curious at how you are going to turn my manor upside down!” Johannes sniggered.
Levi was just a nobody to him. Johannes was convinced that his emergence would turn out to be entertainment for them.
Freddie and the others scoffed at Levi, “Hmph! It will be the end of your life today. I was kind enough to let you off on the ship previously, so you get to live for a few more days.”
They were convinced that Levi would be finished off effortlessly when the most influential family of Goldenport Island and Cryptic Stream Corporation joined forces.
Sherrie looked at Levi and could not resist complimenting, “He has the courage to attend the banquet alone!”
“Yeah, he’s really daring to show up here!” one of the men echoed.
Levi approached Johannes step by step. After scanning the place thoroughly, he finally fixed his gaze on him.
“Johannes Hilton, the time’s up. Are you not going to hand over the Half Phantom?” he asked right away.
“My goodness! It seems he’s no ordinary man who is easily emotionally shaken by anything! He’s not the slightest bit intimidated by the bigwigs of Goldenport Island! Needless to say, he’s a lot mightier than my disciples!” Xenotoph commented admiringly.
Johannes shrugged his shoulders and scoffed, “I’m sure you know the answer too. To be frank, I won’t let go of him. If you insist on that, let’s see if you are able to search for him yourself!”
“Hahaha…” Everyone from the Hilton family burst into laughter.
How ridiculous! How dare he threatens the Hilton family? Has he gone nuts?
“Fine, time’s up. Since I’m not handing him over to you, I will have to bear the consequence. Didn’t you mention that earlier? I’m curious what kind of consequence is that!” Johannes could barely wait to know what Levi meant by the consequence.
The others were curious about that as well. In their eyes, Levi was just like a clown playing tricks. They wondered what kind of tricks he was playing!
Levi’s lips curved into a smirk. “Fine, you are forcing me into a strike! I hope you won’t regret it!” he reminded them.
His words spurred everyone’s excitement in an instant.
“We won’t regret it. Start with your first move! Don’t waste time!” someone yelled at him.
Another man challenged him right away. “Let us see what’s the consequence that you meant!”
“Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Hahaha…” Freddie and the others were urging Levi scornfully, assuming that he did not dare to initiate a strike.
Levi started giving off an intimidating aura with an abrupt change in his countenance.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1936
Boom! As Levi fired out his leg, it resulted in a horrendous wave of energy.
Crash! Crash!
In a split second, the banquet turned into a chaotic scene! Everything shattered into pieces within seconds. The wave of energy even slashed a long burnt mark on the ground!
Crash!
Boom!
Not far away, a building collapsed all of a sudden. As a result, there were dust and thick smoke in the air.
Everyone was rooted to the ground. It never crossed their minds that Levi would strike at once. His massive kick was horrifying indeed.
Before that, everyone kept on urging Levi, treating him as their laughing stock. They were stupefied when he struck right away.
“Ah! He is really something!” Someone gasped in admiration.
Everyone was overwhelmed by his sudden strike. Even Xenotoph was dumbfounded and rendered speechless.
He’s too mighty! No doubt, he is one of the best among the younger generation! No wonder he dares to provoke the Hilton family all by himself! He is undoubtedly skillful in a way!
“Get him!” As Terrell waved, a big group of fighters darted toward Levi in an instant.
The Hilton family could not take it any longer as their ego was provoked. They vowed to teach him a lesson by ending his life!
“Just enjoy the show then!” Johannes smiled meaningfully at his guest.
Xenotoph and the others smiled as well. None of them were bothered by Levi’s power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even so, Levi sent the fighters flying one by one with his massive kicks. Their figures were just like human-shaped hand grenades, blasting every corner of the manor here and there.
The smile vanished gradually from Johannes’ face. Meanwhile, the relaxing expression on Xenotoph and the others’ faces froze.
Bang! Bang!
As Levi blasted up with his astonishing power, the fighters of the Hilton family were just like scrap metals.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of them were sprawling on the ground and writhing in pain. The entire manor was in an utter mess!
“Pfft! So these are your so-called fighters? They are really weak!” Levi smirked.
Right that instant, everyone could barely utter any words. Levi was apparently far more powerful than they thought!
Sherrie and Freddie were the most flabbergasted among all. Not to mention, they knew about Levi a lot earlier than the others!
Only then did it strike Freddie why Levi had the courage to challenge them and got down from the ship secretively.
My goodness! How could an ordinary man be that powerful?
Sherrie had never bothered to spare Levi even a glance all this while; yet, she could hardly take her eyes off him at the moment.
“Useless trash! You’re all useless trash! What’s the matter with all of you! Get him now!” Terrell flipped out and fumed at the other mightier fighters, commanding them to finish Levi off.
Levi’s lips twisted into a disdainful smirk as he started to combat against hundreds of elites.
Bang!
Crack!
“Ugh!” Whines of pain were reverberating from the fighters everywhere.
Levi pounded with his mighty fists, sending more fighters collapsing on the ground. Blood spurted out of their mouths as they were wailing in excruciating pain.
At that very moment, Levi was like the god of the warrior, sweeping away the Hilton family!
Poof!
More and more fighters collapsed as Levi swirled past them, turning the whole manor into a gory mess and living hell.
As everyone from the Hilton family and their guests witnessed the gruesome scene, their faces fell.
The members of the Hilton family shuddered.
What a humiliation! We can’t even do anything to stop him! We have about eight hundred fighters combating him; yet, they are not comparable to him!
Even so, the Hilton family was not intimidated by Levi’s murderous intent. After all, they still had their trump card.
Now that Xenotoph and the heir of Cryptic Stream Corporation are here, can Levi defeat Xenotoph, who is in fourth place on Gem List? It must be impossible!
Nonetheless, the current situation had placed the Hilton family in a tight spot and sort of humiliated them. Undeniably, the upper-scale society minded most about their reputation.
Yet, Levi was provoking their ego and humiliating them in front of everyone. Right that instant, Johannes was really embarrassed, not knowing how he could face Xenotoph and the others.
“Our mighty God of Gamblers, do you need me to give you a hand?” Xenotoph asked jokingly.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1937
“How can I trouble you just to finish off a worthless brat?” Johannes and his sons squeezed a smile to conceal their embarrassment.
If Xenotoph ended up giving them a hand in defeating Levi, the Hilton family would surely become a laughing stock for everyone.
As the overlord of Goldenport Island, everyone would be astounded at their helplessness against an ordinary young man.
What a great shame for us! How can we still be able to keep our heads up on Goldenport Island then?
“Go ahead and finish him off now!” Johannes gestured to the eight men standing behind him.
Other than Erudian, there were even Raysonian and foreigners among them. What was more, they were all elite fighters with mighty combating skills and were known as The Eight Guardians of the Hilton family. In other words, they were the family’s trump card! Johannes had finally made up his mind to assign his mightiest fighters, hoping to finish Levi off right away.
The Eight Guardians nodded respectfully at Johannes and prepared to strike at any time.
Xenotoph mocked, “Imagine the Hilton family has to mobilize The Eight Guardians just to combat the brat! He surely is one of their mightiest foes so far!”
Soon, Levi and The Eight Guardians were having a hand-to-hand fight.
The Eight Guardians consisted of martial artists, men with superpowers, Raysonian samurai, and others. Undoubtedly, they should be undefeatable due to their good understanding of each other.
Even so, they were still nothing to Levi. Even though the eight of them joined forces with each other, they could not even reach the Robed Slayer’s standard. If so, how could they be comparable to Levi’s?
“Not powerful enough! Not quick enough!” Levi commented from time to time.
“Not enough of that! Gear up your speed and power!” Unbelievably, Levi was even giving The Eight Guardians guidance on improving their skills while combating them!
It seemed fighting against the so-called elite fighters was easy as rolling off a log for Levi. He was not paying much attention while combating them.
Subsequently, The Eight Guardians and the Hilton family were boiling with anger because of his carefree demeanor.
“You’re asking for it!” The Eight Guardians who were blinded by fury attacked Levi with full force.
“Ah! Finally, I’m starting to feel your power. Nevertheless, it’s time for me to put everything to an end!” Levi uttered casually.
The next moment, a wave of exceptionally unrivaled energy emanated from his body.
In the twinkling of an eye, The Eight Guardians were sent flying one by one by Levi’s powerful kicks.
Everyone was overwhelmed and went ashen-faced at the sight of The Eight Guardians severely injured.
Xenotoph and the others started to get worked up. They used to look at Levi with utter disdain in their eyes, but things had turned the other way around.
Now that even The Eight Guardians could not defeat him, alarm bells started to ring in their heads.
He could be a threat to us at any time!
“My goodness! Who is he?” one of the bigwigs asked.
“Among the young generation, anyone who can defeat The Eight Guardians of the Hilton family… I bet he is among the top three on the Stone List!” Another man deduced.
“But he’s neither Jessica the Warrior Princess nor one of the Twin Meteorites. Who could he be then?” someone asked doubtfully.
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued, and they were curious about his real identity.
“All of you, attack him with full force! The Hilton family should never be humiliated!” Johannes waved, signaling all the elite fighters to strike simultaneously. With this, all the trump cards were sent to take Levi out.
Bang!
Even so, all of them shared the same fates as The Eight Guardians. Moments later, they ended up wailing in pain on the ground. None of the elite fighters of the Hilton family was left standing.
Levi wiped off the fighters of the Hilton family all alone! Everyone from the family was glued to the spot.
Their eyes widened in disbelief as the punk turned into an undefeatable warrior who wiped off the bodyguards of the entire Hilton family!
The influential family had used all the trump cards and assigned all their elite fighters; yet, nothing could stop Levi.
“H-He…” Freddie’s voice quivered; he was covered in cold sweat.
See how he had turned the place into a living hell! If I dared to provoke him on the ship earlier, I might have infuriated him and ended up finished off by him as well! It was a blessing that I did not act impulsively at that time!
Sherrie and Priscilla could barely shift their beautiful eyes away from Levi.
I can hardly believe that such an ordinary man can be as powerful as this! Are we seeing things?
At that very moment, Sherrie was thankful that she did not chase Levi down from their ship earlier. If not, she doubted if they would still be alive after enraging the young man.
The atmosphere tensed up as time elapsed.
In the meantime, Jefferson from Cryptic Stream Corporation stood forward.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1938
“I’m Jefferson from Cryptic Stream Corporation. The Hilton family is currently under our shield. If you kneel and beg for mercy, we will still let you off this round,” he said placidly.
Jefferson and his subordinates were convinced that Levi would kneel and beg for his mercy right away after hearing who he was.
All this while, he had been getting conflicts resolved with the same method. Usually, he would mention his name and give the opponents a few slaps to resolve the matters.
Throughout these years, Jefferson had been solving the problems with this method.
And he had never failed!
No doubt, nobody would have the audacity to provoke Cryptic Stream Corporation and Lab of Gods, getting on their nerves. Thus, he thought of applying the same tactic to eliminate the Hilton family’s current crisis.
Jefferson could even imagine how Levi was on his knees begging for his mercy, giving in to him as he slapped on his face. He almost burst into laughter at the thought.
Meanwhile, Levi was stunned and asked in bafflement, “Cryptic Stream Corporation? It’s related to Bruce, isn’t it?”
It never came to his mind that he would bump into anyone related to Bruce there. As a result, Jefferson was considered his foe indirectly!
Levi’s eyes were blazing with simmering fury. You only have yourself to blame for landing in hot soup!
On the other hand, Jefferson and his subordinates smiled complacently at Levi, assuming he must be panic-stricken.
Haha! It’s effective as usual! Pfft! I knew it! See how he is scared stiff after knowing my identity!
In an instant, everyone from the Hilton family was over the moon. Hints of jubilance were written all over Johannes and the others’ faces. They were seemingly happy with the marriage between Jefferson and Sherrie.
Ha! Look at my future grandson-in-law’s imposing aura! He manages to scare him to death with only a sentence!
Johannes was even having a blueprint of a bright future in his mind. It is indeed a wise decision to enter into an intentional marriage with Cryptic Stream Corporation!
Jefferson stood up and advanced toward Levi gradually, followed by his bodyguards.
“Kneel and apologize to me. I will let you off and let this come to an end then!” Jefferson sneered at him.
“You have heard about Cryptic Stream Corporation before, haven’t you?” Jefferson stopped right in front of Levi.
“Yeah!” Levi replied right away.
“How about Lab of Gods?” Jefferson asked again.
“I know that!” Levi replied at once.
Jefferson’s smile widened as he snapped, “Since you know about everything, kneel and beg for mercy then. Don’t ever try to provoke me. You shouldn’t have taken the risk to challenge the Hilton family as well!”
Even so, Levi only looked intently at him without any response.
“What are you waiting for? Kneel down now and apologize!” Jefferson was about to shove Levi.
Slap! Levi shrugged Jefferson’s hand off abruptly and slapped him hard on the face.
The skin on his cheek split open instantaneously; blood flowed out at once. Jefferson screamed at the stabbing pain on his face.
“Damn it! Who are you then? Do I know you? Get out of my way!” Levi snarled at him.
Slap! There was another slap on the other side of Jefferson’s cheek. Blood flowed out at once.
“I’m Jefferson, the heir of Cryptic Stream Corporation. You have to kneel before me!” Jefferson unleashed his wrath at him.
Slap! Levi slapped him on the face again. “Who the f*ck are you? Why should I kneel in front of you, huh?”
Jefferson replied adamantly, “I’m the person whom you should never provoke! I’m Cryptic Stream Corp…”
Before he could finish his words, there was a slap on his face again.
“I’m…” His words were cut off by another slap from Levi.
“Hmm…” Jefferson choked up, yet Levi gave him another slap again.
His face was beaten up to a pulp! It would not be a surprise if he was unrecognizable by his parents at the moment.
“Boo…hoo…” Jefferson cried his heart out; tears flowed down his cheeks like streams.
Slap! Levi gave him another slap again and hissed, “Try to make one more sound again?”
Thump! Jefferson fell on his knees as his legs gave way.
“Please stop that! I surrender! I will stop talking now!” he pleaded with Levi pitifully.
He foresaw that there would be a price to pay for his insolence. He might end up bashed to death by an enraged Levi.
Everyone gaped at them and was at a loss for words. Jefferson was in such a pathetic state at the moment.
“What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Jefferson now!” the fighters of Cryptic Stream Corporation bellowed at Levi.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1939
Slap! Levi slapped on Jefferson’s face again without uttering any words.
Jefferson shrieked in pain once again. The insolence of his subordinates was apparently adding fuel to the already burning fire.
“You dare to inflict any harm on Mr. Jefferson again!” They freaked out and yelled apprehensively.
“Ah! You are the ones who ask for it!” Levi put on a subtle smile.
Slap! In a split second, there was another slap on Jefferson’s face.
“Ouch!” Jefferson yowled in pain.
One of the subordinates fumed, “Damn it! You’re asking for trouble! How dare you…”
Slap! Before he could finish chiding, Levi slapped on Jefferson’s face again.
Jefferson started seeing stars. It seemed that he could barely sustain any more of the slaps.
“You brat…” Jefferson’s subordinates were about to rebuke Levi again.
All of a sudden, Jefferson shrieked hysterically, “Keep your mouths shut! Don’t you know that I will be beaten to death if you dare to make any noise again!”
“Get loss! All of you are useless thrash! I will finish you off later!” Jefferson unleashed his wrath at his subordinates.
How foolish are they! They are all useless! Didn’t they realize that I will be beaten again if they continue to say anything?
The other fighters from Cryptic Stream Corporation could only look at them quietly. They feared adding insult to injury if Levi tended to be further infuriated by their movements.
Jefferson wiped off the blood trickling down from his mouth and glared at Levi. “Fine! You really have the audacity. I hope you won’t regret being on bad terms with Cryptic Stream Corporation! Let’s see how you…”
He was slapped by Levi again before he could finish his words.
Pfft! The impact of the slap was so hard that Jefferson lost all his white teeth in an instant!
“I hate Cryptic Stream Corporation and Lab of Gods the most!” Levi roared.
“Ah! I shouldn’t have mentioned the name!” Jefferson regretted blurting out the words recklessly.
He had warned his subordinates to zip their mouth; but, he forgot to remind himself to do the same!
At the moment, Levi was just like a man who had lost his sanity. If anyone dared to threaten him bluntly, he would surely beat them up without a second thought.
In order to appease him, Jefferson held his tongue at once. His subordinates also exercised restraint and remained silent.
Levi turned to look at Johannes and the others who were rooted to the ground.
Meanwhile, hundreds of influential figures from Goldenport Island saw red and glared at him.
“Young man, just put it to an end. No doubt, we know that you are undefeatable. But are you sure you want to take the risk of burning the bridge with all the influential families in Goldenport Island? Will you gain anything from going against the Hilton family, Cryptic Stream Corporation, and Xenotoph?” said a man.
“He is right. No matter how powerful you are, you will only end up ruining yourself by provoking all of them. Just top it!” someone tried to advise him.
“Stop it right away! You have done something wrong! Wake up and don’t continue with that!” Another man tried to rectify the situation by voicing up his point of view.
Levi chuckled and refuted, “Hmph! They are not qualified to be my enemies yet.”
Talking about that, Bruce and Lab of Gods are truly my enemies. Other than that, I don’t even want to waste time sparing another glance at the others!
My goodness! He is an arrogant and domineering guy who does not spare any glance at anyone.
Everyone mocked inwardly; yet, they did not dare to say much.
After all, he was still the most courageous of all.
Cryptic Stream Corporation was mighty, with Lab of Gods backing them up. Even so, it was the most cowardly of all, defeated without a hand-to-hand fight with Levi.
In the meantime, there was a glint in Sherrie’s eyes. Somehow, she had spotted something unique on Levi.
Ah! There are still elite warriors in Erudia! This young man who is not even on any of the lists is definitely one of them!
Freddie was petrified; his entire body was trembling. He used to think that Levi was just a coward, yet he realized that he was the one!
Levi looked at everyone from the Hilton family and scoffed, “I mentioned that you would have to bear the consequences, didn’t I? Do you still have any doubts on that?”
All of them were ashen-faced. Their reputation gained a few decades ago was tarnished within such a short span because of an ordinary young man!
What a humiliation! Anyway, we won’t just give up like that! For the time being, Xenotoph is our only hope!
“Xenotoph, please give us a hand for the sake of Goldenport Island!”
All the members from the Hilton family turned to look at Xenotoph hopefully.
“Oh, all right,” he replied briefly.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1940
Xenotoph was the last hope to the Hilton family and Goldenport Island.
If he were defeated, Goldenport Island would be subjugated.
When they heard Xenotoph agree, the Hilton family heaved a sigh of relief as they could still maintain the family’s reputation.
Realizing that their master was going to take action, Xenotoph’s disciples burst into cheers.
All of them were anxious to find out how strong Xenotoph had become after he sealed himself off for training.
After watching Levi demonstrate his prowess, Xenotoph shared the desire to do the same.
He had also wanted to showcase his magical techniques.
Back then, he didn’t unleash his true powers as he didn’t think Levi was strong enough for him to do so.
But now, Levi’s strength had whetted his appetite, and he was delighted to have a go.
When they heard that Goldenport Island’s top master of magical techniques was about to fight, all the other masters of magical techniques gathered to watch.
They had wanted to see how powerful he had become.
“At the end of the day, you are just young and naive. You have no idea that there are plenty of people out there who are stronger than you. It’s good to be impulsive when you’re young but overdoing it will cause your own downfall!” Johannes couldn’t help but remark.
Xenotoph added, “Exactly! Young man, you are very talented and have the potential to be within the top five on the Gem List in the future. However, I still have to teach you a lesson for the insolence you have shown today.”
Levi was amused as he was now top of the Gem List.
Thousands had focused on this battle.
Among them, Sherrie’s eyes glistened as she watched. For some reason, she was rooting for Levi to win.
Compared to Jefferson, who had been beaten to a pulp, she considered Levi her Prince Charming.
Prior to that, she had agreed to their marriage. However, when she saw how miserable Jefferson looked, she no longer felt like going through with it.
News of the battle of Goldenport Island spread far and wide.
After all, it involved the fourth-place warrior on the Gem List.
“Enough with words, come at me now! After defeating you, I still have something else to do!”
Levi curled his finger at Xenotoph in a taunting manner.
His words infuriated Xenotoph’s thousands of disciples.
They haven’t even started, and Levi is talking as if our master has lost?
How dare he!
“Insolence!”
Showing no mercy, Xenotoph launched a magical attack.
Boom!
His attack formed an airwave that swept forward in Levi’s direction.
The airwave would turn anyone in its path into minced meat.
Everyone was astounded.
That’s what you did expect from the top master of magical techniques. Any random technique of his is filled with devastating power.
Boom!
Launching a casual punch, Levi caused the airwave to dissipate immediately, shocking Xenotoph at the same time.
Next, he unleashed a barrage of magical attacks.
Every single one of them was the most powerful technique he had learned.
However, they were useless against Levi.
Regardless of your attacks, my punch will be able to block them all.
In the beginning, everyone was smiling smugly.
But slowly, doubt and disbelief crept into their minds.
They were all stunned by what they saw.
Xenotoph was so powerful that he could control the weather and move the earth.
However, his powers were useless in front of Levi.
Levi is a monster!
Even the top three warriors on the Stone List don’t possess such power.
Despite how strong the Twin Meteorites are, they wouldn’t be able to stand toe to toe with Xenotoph.
This is impossible!
Who in the world is he?
“Total Annihilation!”
In his desperation, Xenotoph unleashed his ultimate technique.
It was a decisive technique that was extremely cruel. Hence, Xenotoph rarely used it.
But the current circumstances had necessitated its application.
Crack! Crack!
Streams of lightning struck the ground as if they were going to obliterate everything in sight.
“Is that it?” Levi sneered.
Exuding a powerful energy field with his body, Levi withstood the lightning strikes with brute force.
Bam! Bam!
Recoiling in horror, Xenotoph asked in disbelief, “Who are you?”
Levi didn’t reply. Instead, he removed his mask gradually.
