The Return Of God Of War

The Return of the God of War Chapter 821

Within half a year, he had taken Morris Group to the next level.

The Black family called Zoey over when they heard about the news.

“Grandpa, grandma, what’s the matter?” Asked Zoey.

“Zoey, I heard that Morris Group is going to hold its biannual celebration? Are you going to participate?” Asked Meredith anticipatingly.

“Yes. Why are you asking this?”

“That’s great!” Meredith ignored her question and continued asking, “Is it true that the mysterious boss is finally going to show his face?”

“It’s true!”

With a glint of excitement in her eyes, Meredith exclaimed, “That’s great news! I heard he is one of the most edible bachelors! Rumors have it that he has a strong background, which is why he got the last laugh when his company survived the financial market upheavals in North Hampton and South City.”

Robert concurred with his wife, “Indeed! He is a competent man since he managed to get a foothold in the market.”

Meredith coaxed, “Zoey, you should seize this opportunity to get in touch with him! This time we won’t interfere, and you can do as you please.”

“Grandma! What are you talking about?” Zoey was displeased as she regarded Meredith with incredulity, “I already have Levi! How could you ask me to set my cap at another man?”

“Uh-uh!” Meredith feigned an angry look on her face. “You’re still single! What’s wrong with interacting with other men? It’s not against the law, is it?”

Zoey gave a resigned smile. “Grandma, do you really think that the boss of Morris Group would take a fancy on me?”

“It might be impossible for other people to take his fancy, but you’re different! He is always there to help you when you face any difficulty. Don’t you wonder why he treats you differently?”

Zoey’s heart skipped a beat at Meredith’s words as they reminded her of her suspicions.

No one in the world was obliged to lend a helping hand to another person. Except for our family and friends who might step forward out of love, those who offered to help ‘gratuitously’ definitely had ulterior motives.

It had been weighing on her mind, Why would the boss of Morris Group help me? Is it like what grandma said…

Does he have feelings for me?

Although none of them had seen the mysterious boss, Zoey knew the boss had his eyes on them.

Meredith persuaded her smilingly, “Zoey, don’t let this opportunity slide! Maybe you would fall for him once you meet him!”

“Alright.” Zoey answered compliantly, giving her grandma a put-off. I will never fall in love with any man other than Levi. When I meet him, I will ask him why did he help me so that I could return his favor.

The Black family, on the other hand, held a different thought from Zoey. They believed that if Zoey could win the boss’ fancy, it would be in everyone’s interest.

Soon, it was Morris Group’s biannual celebration.

One day before the celebration, the employees of Morris Group, including Zoey and Levi, were sent to the island.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 822

Iris carried her four pieces of luggage, full of her clothing for the trip. She planned to try them on and choose the one that looked best for the celebration.

Levi was rendered speechless by her act. Iris is making a big thing of it. Will she be angry once she knows that I am the mysterious boss?

“Levi, I wonder why the boss of Morris Group helped me in the previous times… What are your thoughts on this?” Zoey asked curiously.

“I guess he has fallen head over heels for you because you’re such a gorgeous lady.” Levi replied earnestly.

Zoey gave him a playful punch and mumbled to herself, “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch; I believe there must be a reason behind his action.”

“Well… Maybe he looks up to you because of your talent. You have made some achievements and contributed to the company, haven’t you?” Levi caressed her hair, trying to put her mind at ease. “That’s it! Relax!”

Iris chimed in as their conversation caught her attention. “I also think that the boss is acting weird! Zoey is not an employee of Morris Group, but why is he treating her so nicely?”

Then, she eyed Levi warily and asked suspiciously, “Don’t tell me that you’re the mysterious boss!”

Levi openly admitted, “Yeah, it’s me. That’s why you don’t need to dress up.”

“Hahaha!” Iris was amused.

Zoey gave a wry smile. How nice it would be if Levi is the boss of Morris Group… That carries a lot more weight than the identity as the grandson of the Jones family.

But sadly, it was irrefutable evidence that he had exploited the Jones family when he collected the debt from Vision Group.

After a few hours’ drive, they finally arrived at the resort located a few hundred kilometers away from South City. This place was a well-known tourism spot famous for its beautiful scenery.

The hospitable workers welcomed them upon their arrival.

Before the room allocation, the workers repeatedly reminded them to not wander off the island as the residents here were all hard-hitting two-fisted people.

If there happened to be a conflict between them and the villagers, they would find themselves in serious trouble since the latter could easily call out hundreds of men.

Meanwhile, at the Jones Residence, Tyler was reassuring his grandpa, “Grandpa, don’t worry! I have it all planned out! This time, I managed to get help from the local tyrant. Levi Garrison will be dead on the remote island, and no one will ever find out about it.”

Michael was pleased. “Perfect!”

It turned out that the Joneses knew that Levi was going to attend Morris Group’s biannual celebration, so they planned an assassination to get rid of him.

In the resort, everyone was engaged in the preparation work for the celebration, except for the lazy bum — Levi, who was wandering around aimlessly.

Iris was scornful of his behavior. “Hmph! He acts as if he is the boss!”

Kirin arrived soon after.

Iris and the others welcomed him with open arms and allocated the best room to him.

After dinner, Levi left his room and headed toward Kirin’s room.

Right at that juncture, Iris and Zoey who were taking a stroll caught glimpse of his figure in the corridor.

Zoey asked curiously, “Where is he going? That isn’t the way to his room, is it?”

“Let’s follow him, and we’ll find out!” Iris grabbed Zoey by the wrist as they followed Levi down the corridor.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 823

The two followed Levi all the way to the presidential suite.

Iris was surprised when she saw him standing in front of the presidential suite. “This is Neil Atkinson’s room! Is he looking for Mr. Atkinson?”

Zoey too was curious. “Do they know each other?”

Iris shook her head. “No, they don’t. Mr. Atkinson has come to the company several times, but I have never seen them talking to each other.”

“Then why is he looking for Mr. Atkinson?” Asked Zoey.

“I’ll tell you why… But could you promise that you won’t be angry with me?”

“Sure. Go Ahead.”

Iris planned her speech before saying, “I think Levi is here to ingratiate himself with Mr. Atkinson.”

“Is that so?” Zoey was slightly dejected. “I know Levi pretty well… He is not a fawner!”

Iris shook her head at Zoey’s naivety. “Zoey, Levi is not the guy you used to know anymore. He has been using his identity as the Jones’ grandchild to achieve his successes, so it is no surprise that he would fawn over Neil.”

At this moment, the room door was opened. Kirin noticed that Iris and Zoey were hiding in the dark, spying on them, so he covertly gestured to Levi to leave before slamming the door shut.

The ladies saw Levi shook his head helplessly as he left; they thought Neil had given Levi the cold shoulder.

“Look, he is slighted by Neil!” Iris flashed a smug smile, thinking she had successfully gauged Levi’s mind and his conduct.

Zoey sighed in resignation as the truth was plain as day, so she could do nothing but to accept it.

Levi was once a man with unyielding character; he had always abhorred snobs who were easily swayed.

He would never try to pull strings, bootlick, or use underhand tactics to achieve his goals. However, it seemed like Levi had changed. He was no longer his old self.

…

Levi has yield to reality.

Zoey sighed at the thought of it. It seems like time and life experiences could really cut a person down to size and dampen his pride.

In the past, Levi used to be a man full of pride and confidence. But now, his arrogance is long gone with the wind. He is no different from any other ordinary man being weighed down by the burden and hardship of life.

But fortunately, we love each other to the moon and back.

They met Levi on the ground floor. “Where have you been just now?” Asked Iris.

Levi gave her a put-off, “Just walking around… Why are you asking?”

It ascertained their suspicions that Levi was sucking up to Neil when he evaded her question.

“Nothing.” Iris decided not to pursue the matter further.

Just then, one of the employees of Morris Group came running and yelling as soon as he saw Iris, “Ms. Anabelle, something terrible has happened! We’re in big trouble!”
