The Return Of God Of War

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1061

“Levi Garrison is still too weak. Wouldn’t it be more fun if he posed a little more of a challenge?”

Damien sighed resignedly and replied, “I have so many ways of taking him down right now! Take Zoey Lopez and that child inside her, for example. If I wanted to, I could make sure that the child won’t be born alive!”

“Exactly! Mr. Damien, we await your orders. One word from you and we’ll head off to torment him immediately!”

However, Damien shook his head. “No, no, no… Where’s the fun in that? I want to torment him to death slowly. By the time I’m through with him, he’ll realize how foolish he has been to hold on so tightly to his pride!”

“As for his wedding night, I’ll make sure nothing goes well for him, either! Tell my men to go…”

Levi was having drinks with his friends.

It was rare that his friends of “special status” could meet up.

The fact that his beloved mentor, Angus Belford, was also present made Levi feel overwhelmed with pleasure.

Angus said, “Levi, I understand your situation now. To tell you the truth, the Garrison clan of Oakland City aren’t ordinary folks. They have been around for thousand-odd years and numerous generations. Their fighting prowess is top-notch.”

“Shall I tell you some statistics? You know about Erudia’s Saber Leaderboard, don’t you?”

Levi nodded.

Erudia’s Saber Leaderboard was a ranking of Erudia’s best warriors. Everyone on it was the creme de la creme among experts.

However, warriors like Levi and those in the Iron Brigade were ranked in a separate and confidential list and not on the Saber Leaderboard.

All they knew was that those on the Saber Leaderboard were very strong; they only had a vague understanding of how powerful those warriors truly were.

“On Erudia’s Saber Leaderboard, the disciples of the Garrison clan take up a grand total of twenty-one spots, while the warriors related to the Garrison clan take up forty-six spots in total! This means that about half of the warriors on the Saber Leaderboard have connections to the Garrisons!”

After hearing these statistics, Levi and the others were stunned.

The warriors on the Saber Leaderboard were vicious military warriors.

All of them were devils on the battlefield and had gained quite a reputation even overseas.

Not only were they loaded with military accomplishments, but those warriors were also full of power and talent.

Were there really so many of them with connections with the Garrison clan?

Evidently, the clan was powerful beyond belief.

However, Levi had already had a taste of their power for himself before.

One of the servants of the Garrison clan had the power to make an entire city yield to him.

It was unimaginable what the real power of the Garrison clan could be if they turned it out in full force.

“Not only that. The Garrison family has other warriors with different areas of expertise, too. They are excellent fighters. There’s a reason for the Garrison family’s fearsome reputation in Erudia. They are more frightening than even I could imagine.”

“Besides, Damien’s mother, Olivia Garcia, is a beloved member of the ancient Garcia family, which is second only to the Garrison family. The Garrisons and Garcias are in this together. If we strike against the Garrisons, we’ll have two ancient families after our blood.”

Angus turned to look at Levi. “I hope that you, as the God of War, will exercise some caution while taking down the Garrison clan of Oakland City. You must absolutely tread with caution!”

Levi nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll do my best to do this properly, and I’ll make sure that the Garrison family pays for everything they have done to me.”

Hearing this, everyone knew that Levi had made up his mind to go against the Garrison family.

He was not even afraid when faced with the Eighteen-Nation Alliance in the past, and he certainly would not back off just because the Garrison family was powerful.

Just as everyone was drowning in high spirits, someone barged into the room.

Everyone recognized the intruder at once. It was one of Damien’s subordinates who had appeared with him during the wedding.

Upon seeing him, White Tiger growled, “What are you doing here?”

Damien’s subordinate, Vincent Garrison, looked at him and smirked. “Levi Garrison, I’ve been sent to tell you something!”

“What?”

Damien’s subordinate laughed. “The person you owe your life to is in danger at this very moment. Do you wish to save this person?”

Levi’s expression changed. “The person I owe my life to?”

“Yes, indeed. He’s on the brink of death right now, I might add.”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1062

“Who is it?” Levi asked.

Shaking slightly, Emma asked, “Could it be Dexter?”

If there was someone in the Garrison family whom Levi owed his life to, it had to be Dexter, the Garrisons’ butler.

Back then, Dexter had treated Emma like his own daughter.

He had helped her numerous times, often secretly.

Hence, he had a huge role to play in the fact that she was still alive today.

After Emma gave birth to her child, the child was taken away by Tyrone Garrison.

She had feared for her child’s life and wondered if he could live on.

However, Dexter promised her that he would find a way to ensure that her child lived.

“Right on the first try! Yes, it’s Dexter.”

Vincent laughed coldly. “I’ll tell you guys the truth. Initially, the Garrison family had no plans of letting Levi Garrison live. They took him and abandoned him in the mountains, leaving him to die. However, Dexter, that old hag, secretly left him on the streets of North Hampton instead. If not for him, Levi would have died a long time ago!”

A hush fell over the room. Emma felt as though she had just been struck by lightning.

The Garrison family had been lying to her all along!

Tyrone had tricked her!

They never had any plans to let Levi off the hook.

Back then, Tyrone hadn’t had the heart to kill off his son by himself, so he simply abandoned him in the wild. But how was this any different from committing murder with his own two hands?

The Garrison family had never planned on letting Levi live from the beginning.

Emma had thought that Tyrone would at least feel some sort of affection for his son and let him live. However, things had not gone the way she imagined they would.

How could a clan as prestigious as the Garrisons go back on their word like this?

How could they simply break their promises whenever they wanted to?

What she failed to comprehend was that for a family like the Garrisons, personal benefits came above everything else.

When it came to personal benefits, nothing else mattered.

Besides, Tyrone had gone behind everyone else’s back to do this.

“Tyrone, I’ve finally seen you for the brute you are! So much for tigers not eating their own children! You’re the worst savage I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet!”

Zoey clenched her hands into fists as her body began to shake with rage.

This is saddening, awfully saddening!

She finally experienced what it was like for trust to evaporate in an instant.

Levi felt extremely stunned by the news of his father’s cruelty too.

Had he really tried to kill me when I was a child?

He finally understood everything.

This was why it had always been the Garrison family’s servants who were sent to deal with him in the past.

Apparently, everyone in the Garrison family already thought he was dead!

Tyrone Garrison, how cruel of you!

As a father yourself, how could you have done something so horrible to your own flesh and blood? What a father you are!

Vincent snorted derisively. “You have that stupid Dexter to thank for all this! If not for him, there would be less trouble for all of us. As for you, Levi Garrison, you can decide for yourself whether you want to save Dexter! I’ll give you three hours. If you don’t come by then, I’ll make sure to bleed out every last drop of blood from his body!”

Vincent gave one last cackle before he turned around and left.

Levi turned to Emma and asked if what Vincent said about Dexter was true.

“My son, it seems that it’s really true! Dexter was the one who saved you from dying!” Emma said confidently.

Levi said coldly, “Alright, then. Since he was the one who saved my life and he’s now in trouble because of me, I must save him! I’ll get going now.”

“My son…”

Emma wracked her brains to think of how best to deter her son from going to Dexter’s rescue.

She understood what Damien’s plan was. He meant to lure Levi straight into his trap, where he would have the perfect opportunity to kill him off.

This way, the Garrison family would escape the consequences of his murder.

If Levi were to walk straight into Damien’s trap, he would be putting himself in great danger.

Besides, he had just gotten married today! There was no need for him to put himself into this sort of situation immediately.

As his mother, Emma was very reluctant to let him do it.

On the other hand, however, she wished for Levi to be a man who knew the value of courage and gratitude. Since Dexter was the person who had saved his life, Levi should go ahead and rescue him.

“Don’t worry, Mom! Damien and I are bound to meet each other before long anyway.”

With that, Levi turned and left to search for Damien.

Dexter was somebody he had to save.

Nobody, not even his mother, could hold him back from doing so.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 1063

“Levi…”

As Levi left, Emma gazed after him, her mouth agape as she stood rooted to her spot.

I can’t let this happen!

I can’t send Levi straight to his death.

Emma quickly left, too, but no one knew where she was headed.

The villa in North Hampton had originally been the residence of the Gonzales family, but they had moved away a long time ago.

Now, it was Damien’s year-round residence.

He was currently enjoying his wine in the enormous meeting room of the house.

He had a reputation for having a Machiavellian and deceitful personality. However, quite different from his character, he had quite a liking for hard liquor.

He enjoyed the feeling of the liquor burning its way down his throat like a ball of fire.

“Ah! That’s some good stuff.”

He gulped down another mouthful of liquor.

Drip, drip…

In front of him, blood dripped down onto the floor from the ceiling, adding to a pool of redness.

Dexter was hung upside-down from the ceiling and bleeding from head to toe.

Damien had just sliced another wound across his abdomen; blood could be seen gushing out of it.

If he didn’t receive medical attention soon, Dexter would most probably perish from blood loss.

Damien barked with laughter. “Hey, Mr. Butler, I really hope you’ll be able to hold up until Levi Garrison gets here!”

Adding injury to insult, he poured some of the liquor onto Dexter’s wounds.

“Ahh!”

Immediately, Dexter screamed in pain like a pig bound for slaughter.

He managed to squeeze out a single word from between his gritted teeth. “You…”

Damien was twisted beyond words.

Vincent turned to Damien and asked, “Mr. Damien, are you sure Levi is going to turn up?”

Damien nodded. “Yes, of course he will. I’m a good judge of people’s characters. Levi Garrison cares too much for loyalty and gratitude. These things are of no use to someone like my father. In fact, they’re a sign of weakness, and people will exploit your weakness to bring you down. Sometimes, it might even cost you your life!”
