Chapter 19 - The Protector

“I’ve already told you at the family banquet before,” Levi nodded, “I am the God of War.”

“There you go again.” Zoey dismissed his words and rolled her eyes, “You and your blabber.”

She did not believe his confession, and thought that he was just trying to brag around.

“Alright,” Levi said with a helpless shrug, “I have nothing to do with them.”

“But then how did you get Azure Dragon to show up with just a phone call?” she asked, puzzled, “Not to mention he even brought an entire regiment with him?”

“It was all a coincidence, when I was here last night and found out that Azure Dragon was staying in the same vicinity, I was sure that the God of War must be nearby as well.” Levi made up an explanation, “I know Ashton is bringing his men to the villa today, so I tipped off the authorities in advance. I told them that somebody is trying to harm the God of War, that’s why they sent over an entire regiment to protect him.” he could only put up a lie to appease her.

“That makes perfect sense to me now.” Zoey found his explanation plausible, “I recalled Azure Dragon said the God of War lives around here, which explains why he’s on high alert when Ashton and his men came to the villa.”

“Do you want to take any of the stuff home with you? There’s no way I’m going to stay here!” Levi said with an air of disgust.

“No, let’s leave them here.” Zoey shook her head, “It would only cause mum and dad to get curious if they see us moving our stuff home.”

“So it was Levi who’s behind all this?”

“I’m going to skin you alive, Levi!” Jaycob flew into such a rage that he almost flipped the table.

“Tell me, where is Levi now? I’m going to bash his brains in and squash him like the disgusting roach that he is!”

Jaycob was cursing and swearing like a madman, oozing violence and malice.

“Hold on, Jaycob.” Joseph mused over the message from Levi, “Levi said that this is just his first present, so we should expect for his second and third present to come in no time. Looks like Levi has just turned the tables on us, he’s letting us know that he’s now the one calling the shots instead!”

Joseph placed his hands behind his back and gave a brittle laugh.

“I’ve asked Bryan to find out what actually happened, dad.” Ben informed Joseph, “I’m sure he’ll update us soon.”

Soon after, they saw Bryan come running towards them, panting for air.

“I’ve found out what happened, grandpa, dad, Jaycob.” Bryan rasped, “Ashton and Levi had gotten into a brawl because of Royal Villa, which left Ashton being beaten up by Levi.”

“How could this be possible?” Joseph bemoaned, “Didn’t Ashton used to hang around with Trey, that triad leader? How could Levi have beaten the both of them and turned Ashton into a vegetable?”
