I know the Garrison family orchestrated Morris’ death. But I want to know every single detail. The process of how they drove him to jump off the building, everyone involved in the process, as well as every turn of events. I must be informed clearly of all these elements!

Queen Private Investigator Agency was unexpectedly located in a luxurious manor.

Levi would not have believed that place to be a private investigator agency if he wasn’t made aware of it in the first place.

Once they reached the entrance, the security guards requested them to get out of the car and undergo a thorough security check before they could enter the manor.

Azure Dragon whispered. \”Sir, I did not reveal our identities.\”

Levi nodded. \”Okay.\”

Levi seized the opportunity to size up his surroundings. This alloy door is custom-made. I think it’s bulletproof. These guards are clearly seasoned men. They are unusually calm and collected. I can even sense their menacing aura. Perhaps they are veterans from the battlefield.

The guards searched their bodies while wearing a pair of white gloves.

They allowed Levi and Azure Dragon to enter only after an exhaustive search.

A designated guide led them through a special tunnel after they entered the manor.

Both of them arrived at a meeting room after some time.

A middle-aged man with neatly combed hair sat on a leather sofa. He held a glass of red wine in his left hand and a cigar in his right.

Behind him stood six men clad in suits. Their demeanor and presence revealed their competency in combat. Nueve’s men were incomparable to these professional bodyguards. Moreover, they were evidently mercenaries judging from their varied skin complexion.

\”Sir, he is the boss of Queen Private Investigator Agency, Francis Hicks, also known as Mr. Secrets. A lot of wealthy people and celebrities fear him the most.\” Azure Dragon explained.

Francis puffed on his cigar. \”Levi Garrison? You’re finally released from prison. It is quite a feat for you to be acquainted with Nueve.\”

Levi and Azure Dragon merely stared at him. I guess he is not just an Average Joe to be able to obtain that information. But of course, I revealed that piece of information myself. My database is highly confidential and classified. There is only one person in Erudia who has the right to access my database.

Levi smiled. \”I assume you are aware of my intention here?\”

\”Of course! You want the video of Morris Atkinson’s death.\” Francis returned the smile.

\”What is your condition then?\” Levi asked.

\”Wonderful! I like dealing with straightforward people like you!\” Francis placed down his wine glass and raised his hand. \”Five hundred million, and the video is yours.\”

Azure Dragon gasped. It seems to me this Mr. Secrets is a greedy man.

\”Five hundred million? That’s a little expensive.\” Levi replied nonchalantly.

\”Ah, you should know that I risked my precious life to take that video! We are talking about the powerful Garrison family, after all. They can easily annihilate me at any time. This video affects too many parties, aside from the Garrison family. A lot of influential forces will be hunting me if I hand this video to you. So five hundred million is a fair amount.\” Francis complained.

What he did not know was that he had revealed a piece of information unwittingly. There are other parties involved in Morris’ death aside from the Garrison family. Levi leaned closer while maintaining eye contact with Francis. \”Aren’t you afraid I will seek revenge against you?\”

Tap, tap, tap…

The bodyguards behind Francis moved in at once as they glared at Levi.

I can cripple Levi Garrison with a single command if I want. Francis puffed on his cigar again and sneered. \”I know Nueve’s power is almost comparable to Jack Jr., but he is just a mere thug at the end of the day. I do not take him seriously, much less you!\”

Francis was a confident man. He could not care less about Nueve.

Samuel and Shaun agreed to the proposal. \”That’s right. They must get a divorce! This is the only method to protect our family now!\”

Although Aaron and his wife were mistreated by the Lopez family all along, they took their side in that argument.

Aaron said coldly, \”Deal with your own mess. Do not trouble us. We agree for the both of you to get a divorce as well.\”

Caitlyn nodded in agreement. \”That’s right. I thought we would be able to live peacefully. But you had to stir up this mess. You no longer have the right to stay in the Lopez family!\”

Everyone firmly requested for Zoey to divorce Levi. They did not want him to stay a second longer in the family.

Levi could not care less about the outsiders’ opinion. He only wanted to know Zoey’s stance.

Levi looked at Zoey and asked her. \”What do you think? I will respect your decision.\” Levi would not oppose Zoey’s wish if she desired to divorce him.

\”To be honest, you’ve disappointed me greatly. You gave up a peaceful life to deliberately provoke the Garrison family. This is no longer a problem revolving around yourself because the Lopez family is now involved as well. The Garrison family can crush our family effortlessly if they wish to.\” Zoey expressed her thought harshly.

Harry and the others were satisfied with what Zoey had said. Zoey will divorce Levi if she’s blaming him now. In this way, our family will escape this predicament unscathed.

\”Can you please take into consideration others’ points of view before you do anything in the future? To prevent dragging my family into this mess, I have decided…\”

Levi shut his eyes as he awaited Zoey’s judgment. It seems like she wants a divorce, after all.

\”I will leave the Lopez family and sever all my ties with all of you. I choose to stay by my husband’s side and weather through every hardship together.\” Zoey took a step forward and stood next to Levi.

Levi fell into a daze as he processed Zoey’s words in his mind.

He was overjoyed. She is indeed my wife!

Everyone else inside the house was bewildered by Zoey’s announcement.

Aaron and Caitlyn shouted simultaneously. \”What do you think you’re doing, Zoey Lopez? You must get a divorce! Divorce him!\”

Zoey shook her head. \”No. I will not get a divorce. Why would I wait for him for six years if I wanted a divorce? Grandpa, if you desire to cut off all ties with Levi, then please banish me from the family.\”

\”This…\”

Harry was reluctant to make the final call because Zoey was her granddaughter at the end of the day. Moreover, she was handling a large project with high returns at that moment.

\”Hurry up and make the official statement, Grandpa. We can safeguard the Lopez family by sacrificing her alone.\” Samuel urged. Other members of the family convinced Harry as well.

Aaron and Caitlyn had no other choice but to stand aside and watch on helplessly.

Levi’s voice was heard just as Harry was about to speak. \”Do you believe in me? I will settle this matter without causing any trouble to the Lopez family. But I will only do so if you promise not to banish Zoey from the family.\”

\”No one will believe you. Where did you find the confidence to utter those words?\”

\”Even Zoey is disappointed in you, not to mention us.\”

Levi’s statement triggered a wave of dissatisfaction to erupt among the members of the Lopez family.

At that moment, Zoey was doubtful as well. So she did not expect anyone else to have faith in Levi.

Harry Lopez glanced at Levi and Zoey in an unforgiving manner before he announced. \”I have decided to banish Zoey Lopez from the Lopez family. From now on, she will have no relationship whatsoever with the Lopez family. I will clarify this situation with the Garrison family and make a public declaration as well. We are no longer related to the both of you from now on. You will have to settle your own mess!\”

Aaron and Caitlyn looked at Levi disappointingly. They insulted him angrily. \”You’re just a piece of useless trash! You are not even capable of protecting your own wife! How can you stay indifferent after your wife is banished from her family? How can you call yourself a man?\”

Levi merely held Zoey’s hand and left.

He glanced at everyone else before exiting the house. \”All of you will regret the decision you’ve made today.\”

\”Hmph! Regret? Impossible!\” Everyone sneered.

The news of Zoey’s banishment was quickly spread all over North Hampton. Everyone knew Zoey because of Levi, so the news became a sensation in no time.

Bryan Garrison laughed out loud after hearing the news from Harry Lopez himself. \”Haha. This is great! Even the Lopez family cut ties with him. Levi is truly all alone now!\”

\”Hmph! Just you wait, Levi. Nueve will ditch you too. I’ll see what you can do by that time.\”

\”Go to hell, Levi! Coincidentally, we can bury you next to your best friend in that cemetery.\”

Everyone in the Garrison family was pleased. In their opinion, Levi would be doomed after a few days.

Levi said with a smile after they arrived home. \”You do believe in me, Zoey.\”

\”No. I don’t! I don’t think you have the capabilities to settle this matter. But I promised to stay by your side for the rest of our lives during the birthday banquet the other night. So I will tough through everything with you.\” Zoey explained solemnly.

Levi grinned. I am getting more excited now that the time limit I gave the Garrison family is coming to an end.

That night, Azure Dragon suddenly messaged Levi: I’ve found out the truth behind Morris Atkinson’s death. Someone filmed the entire process before he died.

Levi straightened himself in a jerk when he saw the message. His sudden movements startled Zoey.

\”I’m heading out for a while!\” Levi left in a hurry.

Azure Dragon was waiting for him in an SUV when Levi reached the Bayview Garden neighbourhood’s entrance.

Azure Dragon began explaining after Levi got into the car. \”Sir, Mr. Morris managed the company well after your imprisonment six years ago. He made the appropriate arrangements to prevent the Garrison family from taking over Levi Group.\”

Levi knew well of Morris’ abilities. He’s a business prodigy. He was adept at manipulating the rules and regulations to his advantage.

\”The Garrison family wanted to get rid of Mr. Morris because he interfered with their plans. So they laid a series of traps for him and faked evidence to frame him. Embezzlement was one of their tricks. Mr. Morris’ bank account was top up with one billion a day before your wedding. A few houses were suddenly registered under his name as well, with women living in those houses. Those women were the mistresses reported by the news. They faked plenty of evidence to falsify crimes against Mr. Morris. The Garrison family even included charges of corruption against Mr. Rowen.\”

Levi finally understood that the Garrison family had been planning the scheme for a long time after listening to Azure Dragon’s detailed report. They wanted to eliminate me, as well as my most loyal subordinates.

\”I’ve already sent people to look for the four mistresses I mentioned. They are in transit as we speak.\” Azure Dragon added.

Levi met with his eyes. \”Then where are we going now?\”

\”We are going to Queen Private Investigator Agency. This agency has been active for years. They are skilled in digging dark secrets from the past. They possess a lot of dirty secrets of wealthy people and celebrities in North Hampton. Coincidentally, someone from the agency filmed Mr. Morris’ death scene.\” Azure Dragon elaborated.

\”Okay. Let’s go and have a look at the evidence at Queen Private Investigator Agency.\”

Chloe did not know how she should respond to the turn of events. I can receive at least a fifty million commission from this sale alone. But I did practically nothing.

Chloe’s parents now realized Vernon’s success was actually nothing to be amazed by. Their family’s wealth was insignificant either. \”Larry, let’s discuss our children’s matter another day.\” Theodore said mercilessly.

\”Huh? But…\” Larry and his family were left rooted to their spot dumbfoundedly while Chloe and her family left swiftly.

Levi brought the Atkinsons to the new villa in the night. \”Please stay here from now on. I will take good care of you in Morris’ stead!\”

Levi finally felt at ease after he was done arranging his godparents’ accommodation.

…

Meanwhile, the Garrison family was keeping track of Levi’s movements as usual.

Bryan Garrison sneered. \”Levi bought a house for Morris’ parents and even vowed to avenge Morris’ death.\”

\”Hmph. He’s just a piece of trash. I doubt he will ever find out the truth behind Morris’s death, much less carrying out any revenge.\” Victoria responded disdainfully.

\”Is the Lopez family aware of this matter? Bryan, I want you to inform them immediately. I want them to be present as well five days later. I want the Lopez family to see with their own eyes as I torment Levi. I can finally avenge Ashton after so long!\” Jaycob spoke coldly.

Bryan Garrison’s arrival at the Lopez family scared Harry and the others.

Members of the Lopez family were fearful after they were made aware of the gathering at the cemetery.

Bryan threatened them. \”I will wipe out the entire Lopez family if I do not see all of you there five days later.\”

\”Please be rest assured, Mr. Garrison. We will definitely be there!\” Harry Lopez’s legs wobbled.

It was only until Bryan left that Harry unleashed his anger. \”Levi is really a curse! Why must he go and offend the Garrison family? Now he’s invited trouble for our family too. I’m going to kill him! Let’s go to Aaron’s house now!\”

Harry brought everyone to Aaron’s place. He asked Aaron to summon Zoey and Levi as well.

Levi and Zoey saw a lot of cars parked outside the house when they arrived. They were startled to see the crowd inside the house. Every member of the Lopez family was there.

\”You’re a bastard, Levi! You’re the cause of the Lopez family’s demise!\” Aaron rebuked Levi the moment he walked through the door. Everyone else started hurling abuse at him too.

Zoey shifted her gaze onto Levi incredulously after she knew about the whole story. She sniffled. \”I told you not to provoke the Garrison family. Why did you not listen to me? I know you want to avenge Morris, but have you ever thought about us? Have you ever thought about me?\”

\”I…\” Levi was interrupted the moment he started to speak.

\”No! You never thought about anything from my perspective! You always do as you please. Now you’ve completely offended the Garrison family and involved my family in this mess! The Lopez family will cease to exist in North Hampton if the Garrison family is dissatisfied with us. Our lives are all in danger now. Do you want to drive me to my death before you’re contented?\” Zoey was tear-stricken.

Levi did not explain. They will not listen to anything I say anyway.

\”What should we do now?\” Aaron panicked.

\”There’s only one way to resolve this…\” Harry voiced out. \”Zoey must divorce him! Cutting all ties with Levi Garrison is the only way to secure ourselves now.\”

Everyone was astounded as they looked at Levi and Chloe in disbelief.

\”Vi… villa?\” Vernon asked with a shaky voice.

\”That’s right. If we are talking about a normal house or flat, Bayview Garden will have served the purpose.\” Chloe said.

Larry Tate and his son were flabbergasted. Our family can barely afford a house in Bayview Garden, not to mention the villas owned by Bayview Garden Real Estate. These villas cost at least thirty million to over a hundred million. Can Levi Garrison really afford a villa? We don’t believe this.

Even Theodore Macy and his wife were doubtful. We are relatively familiar with Levi Garrison’s current condition. He certainly can’t afford a villa. He’s no longer the billionaire he was 6 years ago.

Just as they were pondering about Levi’s current situation, a group of people rushed out from the villa area.

Chloe’s parents recognized the man leading the group of people.

He was Bayview Garden Real Estate’s boss, Jim Spencer, as well as Chloe’s superior. They met with him once during the annual general meeting.

Jim Spencer walked forward hastily in Levi’s direction and greeted him excitedly. \”It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Garrison. You could’ve informed me before your arrival. It is my duty to welcome you in person.\”

\”Welcome, Mr. Garrison!\” All the staff working under Bayview Garden Real Estate lined up in two neat rows to welcome Levi. They even prepared a red carpet and flower petals to celebrate his advent.

Vernon, Larry, and the others were stupefied. What’s with this grandiose formation?

Theodore and Suzy on the other hand started to see Levi in a different light.

Levi said casually. \”There’s no need to go through all the trouble. I’m only here to purchase a villa.\”

Levi’s words took Larry and his family by surprise.

Theodore questioned his daughter to confirm the thought in his mind. \”Did he buy a house from you previously?\”

\”Yes. He bought the most expensive unit in Bayview Garden and paid the fifty million in cash. He’s now the VVIP of Bayview Garden Real Estate.\” Chloe explained.

Her parents nearly passed out from the shock. This is crazy. He paid fifty million in cash?

\”Please follow me, Mr. Garrison.\” Jim led Levi into the sales center in person.

The sales center was embellished with champagne and decorations in preparation to celebrate Levi’s purchase.

\”May I know what kind of villa are you looking for, Mr. Garrison?\” Jim asked.

\”The most expensive one.\” Levi answered without any hesitation. I will make it up to Morris by treating his parents well from now on. Buying them the most expensive villa is the least I can do.

Levi’s nonchalant request frightened the Tate family members. Even if we combine all of our assets, they are not worth even a hundred million, yet Levi is here casually acquiring a villa worth more than our family’s net worth.

Their faces reddened in embarrassment when they thought of the insults they threw in Levi’s face earlier. Perhaps we are just some clowns in his eyes, making a fool out of ourselves.

\”Please follow me, Mr. Garrison. This is the most expensive villa we have. The price is one hundred and twenty million, but we will provide you with a twenty million discount. The size of this villa is…\” Jim began to explain the details of the villa.

\”Okay. That’s good. I want to move in tonight. Can you handle the rest for me?\” Levi asked.

\”Absolutely! We will also provide you with three housekeepers, a butler, a van, and a chauffeur.\” Jim offered.

In the end, Levi paid for the hundred million villa in full amount using his card while everyone stared at him.

Then Levi pointed at Chloe and said, \”She’s my agent. The commission belongs to her.\”

\”Please be rest assured, Mr. Garrison. I understand what you mean.\” Jim smiled.

The next day.

Levi contacted Chloe, but all he could hear was her mumbling through the speaker as if she was occupied.

\”Tell me your location. I’ll come find you.\” Levi said impatiently.

\”I’m at North Hampton city center’s Sue’s Western Cuisine Restaurant.\” Chloe informed Levi of her whereabouts.

Levi drove his car towards the aforementioned restaurant immediately.

Meanwhile, in Sue’s Western Cuisine Restaurant.

Chloe sat at a table awkwardly.

A middle-aged couple sat beside her. They were her parents, Theodore Macy and Suzy Shorts.

A young man and another middle-aged couple sat opposite them.

Chloe’s parents had forced her to attend a blind date. She was closing in on her 30s, after all. So it was understandable why her parents are starting to get anxious. The young man seated opposite her was Vernon Tate. He has a net worth of over ten million, and owned five properties across North Hampton.

Vernon Tate was determined to get what he wanted for the blind date today.

Although Chloe was an excellent woman, Vernon was certain that he was still better than her. His parents shared the same sentiment, which explained their relatively arrogant attitude during the meeting.

Theodore Macy and Suzy Shorts were satisfied with Vernon Tate as their potential son-in-law.

\”If you do not have any objection, Theodore, let’s allow the young ones to get together.\” Vernon’s father, Larry Tate, said.

\”Ah? That’s great! Vernon is an outstanding young man. He’s the right man for our daughter.\” Chloe’s parents were delighted.

Chloe knew Vernon was a good fit for her in every aspect. But the thought of someone flashed across her mind all of a sudden. She immediately rejected the idea. \”No way. I think we still need more time to understand one another.\”

\”What? How much further do you need to understand one another? You’re sufficiently familiar with each other by now.\” Chloe’s rejection did not amuse Larry and Vernon Tate.

\”This is moving too fast. We’ve only known each other for less than a month!\” Chloe steeled her resolution.

Vernon looked at Chloe surprisingly. \”We can always get to know each other better after we start dating. Moreover, I think we are already familiar with one another. We are not getting younger, after all. I believe our relationship is heading towards marriage.\”

Theodore, Larry and their wives nodded in agreement. \”He’s right.\”

At that moment, a figure arrived at the scene.

The man was none other than Levi Garrison.

He grabbed Chloe’s arm and ordered assertively. \”Follow me. I need to talk to you about something.\”

Everyone was dumbfounded, including Chloe.

She did not expect Levi to be in such a rush to the extent of grabbing her by force.

\”Who are you? What are you doing? Let go of her!\” Larry Tate was the first to regain his senses.

Theodore and Suzy eyed Levi curiously. \”Who is he, Chloe? He looks a little familiar.\”

Chloe answered helplessly. \”He’s Levi Garrison.\”

Chloe’s parents were taken aback. \”What? Levi Garrison? No wonder he looks familiar. What is he doing here? Why are you still keeping contact with him?\”

\”We… we used to be in the same class. It’s only natural we kept in touch.\” Chloe explained.

Larry Tate questioned immediately. \”What is the meaning of this, Theodore? Did you arrange for Chloe to undergo two blind dates at the same time?\”

Levi finally grasped the situation.

Theodore quickly clarified. \”That’s not it. He’s her ex-classmate. Moreover, he’s nothing compared to Vernon. Levi is just a poor loser who’s fresh out of prison. He doesn’t even have a job.\”

Larry Tate’s expression softened significantly upon hearing that. They could not help the exaggerated reaction because they sensed the odd emotions glinted in Chloe’s eyes upon Levi’s arrival.

Vernon Tate breathed a sigh of relief. He sized up Levi mockingly. \”So, your friend is jobless, Chloe? I do have a security guard position available in my company. I’ll offer him six thousand a month because he’s your friend. His physique is perfect for the job. What do you say?\”

Levi ignored him. He apologized to Chloe. \”I’m sorry to have interrupted your blind date.\”

Chloe shook her head. \”That’s alright. Did something happen?\”

\”I am buying a house for an uncle and aunt of mine. So I came to you.\” Levi said.

\”Oh. I see. I didn’t know you have an uncle and aunt looking for a house? Hehe…\”

Vernon and Larry sneered. A house? I guess Levi can at most afford the tiniest apartment in this city. Any place over two million will be impossible in his case.

From Theodore and Suzy’s perspective, they thought Levi was looking for Chloe because he wanted a special offer. Chloe is a manager, so she has the authority to give out special discounts. There has been plenty of people looking for her to buy a house in the last few years because of this reason alone. Those people can save up to a few hundred thousand at times because of Chloe. Levi must be here for the special offer.

\”I understand now. You’re not satisfied with just Bayview Garden, I suppose?\” Chloe was an experienced sales agent. She figured out Levi’s intention after listening to him. He’s looking for a villa. Otherwise, he could’ve directly purchased a house at the Bayview Garden Real Estate Agency.

\”Yes.\” Levi nodded.

\”I do have a few properties that might interest you. I’ll bring you to our company now.\” Chloe then turned to look at the people seated around the table. \”Uncle Larry, aunt, I’ll be back soon. I have to handle this matter now.\”

Larry got up from his seat and suggested with a smile. \”Why don’t we accompany you? We can take a look at your workplace as well. What do you say?\”

\”Let us join you, Chloe.\” Vernon sounded excited. Then he glanced at Levi tauntingly.

Chloe did not agree to their request immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Levi as a gesture to seek his opinion.

Levi nodded. \”Sure. Let’s go together.\”

\”Alright. We’ll go together then.\”

Vernon paid for the bill before exiting the restaurant.

He said nonchalantly with the receipt in his hand. \”A meal for six people that costs less than five thousand. This is cheap.\”

Theodore added cheerfully. \”You must have luxurious meals even on normal days to consider this as a cheap meal, Vernon.\”

Vernon glanced at Levi before he replied. \”Indeed. I spend at least two thousand for every meal because of my work.\”

Chloe’s parents could not be fonder of Vernon.

Chloe said to Levi when they arrived at the underground parking lot. \”I’ll fetch you there.\”

\”Okay. No problem. You are more familiar with the destination anyway.\”

In the end, Chloe fetched her parents and Levi, while Vernon brought his parents as they headed towards their destination.

They were almost at the suburbs after driving continuously for over an hour.

Vernon and his father scoffed. \”We’re almost at the suburbs now. I’m afraid he’s going to buy a house in the village.\”

Vernon’s mother added. \”He should consider himself lucky to be able to afford a house.\”

But half an hour later, Chloe’s car came to a halt in front of a villa area.

\”Why are we here, Chloe? I thought your friend is going to buy a house?\” Vernon asked curiously after getting out of his car.

Chloe looked at him in astonishment. \”We are here to buy a villa!\”

Silence filled the air following Chloe’s explanation.

\”What?\” Tiger and his men were caught in disbelief as they witnessed the scene unfolded in front of their eyes. Lord Nueve is so polite towards him. Who is that young man?

Everyone was dumbfounded, including the Atkinsons. They stared at Levi incredulously. I can tell these people are far more capable than Tiger based on his reaction. But even they had to pay respect to Levi.

Levi merely waved his hand. \”They bullied my godfather and godmother. I’ll let you handle the rest.\”

He led the old couple into the house after he spoke.

Nueve turned around slowly and smiled at Tiger and his men ominously after he received the instruction. \”Beat them up. Show no mercy!\”

Tiger and his subordinates almost passed out from hearing Nueve’s words.

\”Rush them!\”

Tiger and his gang members were helpless facing the crowd. The fighters barely warmed up themselves, but Tiger’s party was already lying on the ground.

Nueve’s men hit their opponents with batons mercilessly.

Tiger received the worst beating. Soon, he was lying in a pool of blood as his body twitched continuously.

His men received a similar fate.

Levi could not care less about the things happening outside the house because he had faith in Nueve’s competency in dealing with the men and cleaning up the mess. I am quite sure I will not see a drop of blood on the floor by the time I walk through the door.

\”You are so impressive, Levi.\” Rowen looked at Levi in amazement.

Levi smiled. \”Be rest assured, Uncle. I have the capabilities now. I will make the entire Garrison family kneel before Morris’ grave six days later to pay the price for their terrible deeds!\”

\”Huh?\” Rowen thought the idea was unthinkable. But he felt a tiny bit of hope after what happened earlier.

\”Uncle, Aunt, I hope I can have the honor of referring the both of you as my godparents from now on. We will move out of this place tonight!\”

Levi brought the Atkinsons away shortly after.

The courtyard was spotless as Levi expected. Moreover, there wasn’t a single trace of the crowd left behind in the courtyard.

Levi arranged for Rowen and his wife to stay in a five star hotel that night. He planned to purchase a new villa for them the next day.

Meanwhile, the Garrison family received Levi’s invitation.

Bryan Garrison said mockingly, \”Levi has the guts to summon all of us to kneel before Morris Atkinson’s grave. He must be dreaming!\”

Joseph responded nonchalantly. \”Levi does not have a clue about the Garrison family’s influence, after all.\”

\”Haha, I can’t wait to see the desperate expression on Levi’s face six days later!\” Ben and Jaycob laughed out loud.

Rick was a meticulous man so he couldn\’t help but asked. \”Bryan, are you absolutely sure Nueve is the man who is supporting Levi?\”

Bryan reassured him. \”I am certain about that, Uncle. Nueve went to clean up Morris Atkinson’s grave today and even visited his parents’ house in the village. I also heard Nueve beat up the gang leader, Tiger, who’s in charge of that area. So I’m sure Nueve is the person! There’s no mistake about this.\”

Rick nodded. \”That’s a weight off my chest in that case. But we should proceed with caution nonetheless.\”

\”Don’t worry, Rick. I’ve contacted Jack Smith earlier. He promised to come in person and bring along all his men to support us.\” Joseph put on a wicked smile. \”Levi Garrison, we had our ways of ruining your life six years ago. Now, we will force you to realize how easily we can muck up your life again.\”

Tiger roared at the top of his lungs some distance away.

The other residents hurriedly shut their windows in fear. They wanted nothing to do with the mess.

The two elderlies grasped Levi’s arms as they heard Tiger’s voice.

Levi patted them. \”There’s nothing to be afraid of.\”

Tiger and his men reached the staircase swiftly, where Kirin and Azure Dragon were standing guard.

Tiger’s face turned sour when he saw Kirin and Azure Dragon’s imposing manner.

He sensed danger from the menacing aura exuding from their bodies.

\”Who hit my brother?\” He asked.

Tiger was furious because no one had ever dared to defy him in the village. He had always gotten his way each and every time. So it was an unprecedented scenario for his subordinate to be hit by another person. That’s the reason why he came to seek revenge in person.

Levi said with a smile. \”It was me.\”

\”Aren’t you the daredevil? Are you Rowen’s relative? How dare you call for help to beat up my subordinate, Rowen Atkinson? I will torture you and your wife to my heart’s content!\” Tiger threatened the old couple blatantly in front of Levi.

Rowen and his wife were scared out of their wits. They begged for mercy right away. \”Please forgive my nephew, Mr. Tiger. I beg of you. I promise there will be no next time.\”

\”I can forgive him if you pay me five hundred thousand for the medical fee. I will call it even if each of them breaks one of their arms.\” Tiger sneered.

\”What? Five hundred thousand?\” The couple of elderlies were dumbstruck with terror. \”You can’t do that! They are still young. So please don’t break their arms. Please break our arms instead!\” Tears streamed down Rowen’s cheeks as he begged Tiger.

\”That’s not going to work! Your arms are not as worthy as theirs. Hey! Are the three of you deaf? Don’t force me to break your arms myself!\” Tiger’s lips curled upward maliciously.

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

The sound of tires screeching reverberated in the alleyway as multiple cars closed in on the area.

The sound attracted Tiger and his men’s attention. They turned around to look at the source of the noise.

More than ten vans skidded to a stop.

Countless men rushed out from the vans and dashed into the courtyard.

Click. Click. Click…

The men assembled themselves around the narrow space and surrounded Tiger and his subordinates. The newcomers glared at the thugs with a baton in each of their hands.

\”Mr… Mr. Tiger… I’ve counted their numbers. They have around two hundred people here, not counting the other one hundred standing outside.\” A thug reported shakily.

\”What? three hundred people?\” Tiger and the other thugs were astounded.

They scanned the surroundings and discovered a problem. Every one of these men is huge and muscular. I can tell that they are skilled fighters because of the sinister aura they are giving off. These people are on a completely different level compared to us. Each of them can defeat five of us effortlessly.

\”What’s going on here?\” Tiger was trembling in fear as well.

At that moment, a smaller group of people appeared. Nueve walked in front with three other mafia bosses following closely behind him.

\”Lord Nueve? And that’s Trey and two other Mafia bosses from North Hampton?\” Tiger recognized the powerful men because he was an experienced thug. I am at most qualified to be Trey’s subordinate, while Nueve is certainly a figure far beyond my reach.

\”What brings you here, Lord Nueve?\” Tiger greeted him politely with a bow.

But Nueve completely disregarded Tiger. He walked towards the staircase and addressed Levi courteously. \”Please give us your orders, Mr. Levi.\”

His hand was stopped in mid-air as Levi caught his wrist firmly.

\”Who the hell are you? Let go of me right away!\” The leader of the gang threatened.

Bam!

Levi punched his face forcefully. His head snapped back and blood spurted everywhere.

The thug yelped in pain.

Kirin and Azure Dragon handled the rest of the thugs.

All of them scrambled away from the scene on all fours.

The leader of the gang yelled before he fled. \”Damn you, old man! How dare you call for backup. I will summon Tiger here. Just you wait!\”

They then left instantly.

Mr. Atkinson and his wife closed their eyes hopelessly.

Tiger was the boss in charge of the village. He had no lesser than fifty thugs working for him. And he had the guts to do as he pleased around the area.

Tiger and his subordinates maintained a living by collecting protection fees from the villagers. Anyone who did not submit the fees or was late to hand in the money would get beaten up or even crippled at times.

Tiger was a cruel man who had his share of living behind bars. His name would invoke fear in all of the villagers.

\”Thank you, young man. You should leave while you can.\” Rowen said.

\”Uncle, Aunt, it’s me! Levi Garrison!\” Levi introduced himself passionately.

\”Levi? Is it really you? This is great. It’s so good to see you after so long!\” Rowen and his wife were on the verge of tears. Our dearest son, our only hope in this world, is gone. Seeing Levi now reminds us of Morris. Oh, Morris!

\”Uncle, Aunt, please do not worry from now on. I will take care of you for the rest of your life in Morris’ stead. No one will ever dare to lay a finger on both of you!\”

Anger surged within Levi when he noticed the bruises on the old couple’s necks. Bastards! They did not show any mercy to these elderlies!

Rowen glanced at the ground floor and said in a hurry. \”Levi, you should leave immediately. They must have informed Tiger. He will be here soon.\”

\”He’s right. Your lives will be in danger once Tiger is here. That man is ruthless. You might even get crippled by him. Leave now while you can, my child!\”

Morris’ mother nudged Levi for him to run away.

\”Uncle, Aunt, what will the both of you do if I leave?\” Levi asked.

\”Do not worry about us. We will at most suffer a beating. Moreover, our lives aren’t valuable anymore. You should survive and return to clear Morris’ name. Avenge him!\” Rowen was tear-stricken as he talked.

Levi comforted them. \”Fret not. I am now strong enough to protect the both of you and avenge Morris at the same time.\”

\”That’s not going to work. You’ve never seen Tiger in action. He even has the courage to murder someone!\”

I see. This Tiger has instilled fear in everyone’s mind upon hearing his name. Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson are trembling at the mention of Tiger. That means he must have bullied them frequently. Levi thought to himself.

\”Please leave now. We do not want to trouble you with this matter!\” Morris’ mother was anxious. She urged them to leave while glancing at the ground floor from time to time.

\”Uncle, Aunt. Please calm down. Nothing will happen now that I’m here. I want to meet this Tiger in person as well.\” Levi turned to look at Kirin. \”Ask Nueve and his men to come here.\”

Kirin nodded. \”Yes, Sir.\”

\”Go. Go now! It’s dangerous for you to stay.\”

\”No, wait. It’s too late now. They’re already here!\” Rowen said frightfully.

Over ten men, wielding batons and all kinds of weapons, entered their vision. The scary man leading the group was wearing a singlet. The tattoo of a tiger was clearly visible on his torso. \”Who the hell punched my brother? Show yourself this instance!\”
