    The Return Of God Of War Chapter 41-50


    The Return of God of War Chapter 41


    “Oh? It’s you?”


    Levi recognized Chloe as well.


    Chloe was Levi’s high school ssmate. She was one of the most beautiful and popr girls in the


    school, with plenty of admirers pursuing her.


    Chloe had tried to pursue Levi in the past, but Levi rejected her.


    After high school, Chloe merely entered a normal university and ceased all contact with Levi.


    But she kept herself updated about Levi’s news.


    Chloe was especially grateful for Levi’s rejection after she heard about his imprisonment. I’d be so


    embarrassed if we got together back then. I’m feeling mixed emotions facing him in person now, but I


    am feeling more excited than ever. I finally have the opportunity to unt my achievements in Levi’s


    face! I want him to regret his decision of rejecting me!


    “When were you released from prison?” Chloe asked.


    “A fortnight ago!” Levi answered.


    “Ahh, you were once the most sessful upstart in North Hampton’s business world. Such a pity you


    were sent behind bars. Otherwise, you might have be one of the richest men in this city. I


    remember I once confessed to you because you were so excellent and extraordinary. But you rejected


    me. I wonder if you will ept me now if I confess to you again? Hehehe…” Chloemented.


    “What? You’re an outstanding person now, Manager! You are the manager of Bayview Garden Real


    Estate Agency, as well as the top sales agent! You’re earning a couple million a year, and you have


    your own house and luxurious car! Not to mention your captivating beauty. He’s not good enough for


    someone like you.”


    “He must be regretting his decision of rejecting your confession back in the day! He may even offer


    himself up to you, now that he’s released from prison.”


    “You’re too good for someone like him, Manager. He is just a lowly personpared to you!”


    …


    The other sales agents were experienced and quick to assess the situation. They understood Chloe’s


    intention immediately after she spoke. So all of them cooperated in her scheme.


    Levi gazed at the employee’s tag on Chloe’s chest. She is the manager of Bayview Garden Real Estate


    Agency. I guess Chloe is apetent person in her profession.


    Chloe said with a smile, “With my academic qualifications, I have no other choice but to be a


    sales agent. Although my achievements and a monthly sry of a few million may be insignificant


    compared to your earnings in the past, I am still doing better than you currently are…”


    Chloe deliberately left her sentence hanging in an attempt to scorn Levi. She could not feel more


    pleased, looking at Levi’s pitiful appearance. He was once the cream of the crop among our peers but


    look at him now. This must be fate.


    Levi smiled. “Indeed, you looked like you’re doing well for yourself!”


    Chloe pretended as if a thought popped into her mind. “Oh right. We are having a high school reunion


    on the 7th of this month. Are youing? If you are, please don’t feel inferior by that time. It is a virtue


    to celebrate another friend’s sess, after all.”


    “High school reunion? Sure. I’ll be there.” Levi nodded.


    “That’s great.” Chloe’s cheerful smile did not reflect her disappointment in Levi inwardly.


    In Chloe’s opinion, Levi merely wanted to attend the reunion to butter up their ex-ssmates.


    She grinned. “Oh, are you here to purchase a house? I’m afraid that the cheapest unit avable here


    will cost you at least thirty million, even if I provide you with all the offers and discounts I can. Why don’t


    you consider houses that are around three million instead? You should be able to afford that. However,


    you will have to look for properties outside of North Hampton for houses in that price range!”


    The Return of God of War Chapter 42


    Levi stared at Chloe. “Well, that’s not going to work for me. I want to buy a house in North Hampton


    only.


    “Hahaha…” Mary and the othersughed out loud. How long is he going to put up that act?


    Chloeughed as well. “Old friend, I must remind you. We only ept full payment in cash for


    properties under our agency. Even if you ept a unit with a mortgage loan, you will have to pay a few


    million for the down payment. I don’t think you can afford that amount as of now!”


    Levi said coldly, “I am making full payment in cash as well!”


    “Full payment in cash? Are you sure?” Chloe was shocked. He only dares to utter such outrageous


    nonsense because he cares too much about his pride. Hmph! I will see if he can live up to his own


    words. He will only embarrass himself in the end. Then I will spread this shameful incident to our high


    school friends tonight!


    But everyone was dumbfounded after Levi added. “Let me see the most expensive unit you have here!”


    Everyone fell silent as they looked at him in bewilderment.


    “What did you say? The most expensive unit? Are you sure?” Chloe asked in a low voice.


    Abigail scolded impatiently. “Are you deaf? He wants the most expensive unit!”


    Chloe regained her senses. Hmph! The most expensive unit, you say? I can’t wait to see how you are


    going to pay for the house!


    “Alright, follow me!” Chloe brought the crowd to the real estate model and pointed at one of the units.


    “This is the most high-end house in Bayview Garden, measuring at five hundred square meters. We will


    also include a free underground garage and storage for you. The price for this unit is fifty million!”


    “What do you think?” Chloe looked at Levi smugly after she gave them a thorough exnation.


    Mary and the others gazed at Levi mockingly. How are you going to pay now, since you talked so big?


    Levi nodded his head satisfyingly. “Not bad!”


    “I think this is not bad too.” Abigail nodded in agreement.


    Chloe smirked. He could win an Oscar for that rhetorical statement! The question remain though, how


    are you going to afford a fifty million house?


    Chloe had resolved to humiliate Levi then and there. She wanted to drive him into a corner with


    nowhere to escape. “Let’s look at the showroom, shall we? This is a ready unit, avable for you to


    move in right away!” Chloe said with a smile. I will never let him leave so easily.


    But she did not expect the subsequent turn of events.


    Levi took out a credit card and said, “There’s no need for that. I’ll purchase it now.”


    Everyone was stunned.


    “What? You are purchasing the unit now?” Mary was the first to snapped herself back to reality.


    “Are you sure?” Chloe’s voice trembled.


    Levi handed the card to her. “Get on with it now! I have some other matter to attend to!”


    Chloe received the card with shaking hands because she recognized the Centurion card she was


    holding. There’s no credit limit to this card! Is he really qualified to possess such a card?


    Chloe proceeded to check out the payment with uncertainty.


    The payment was sessful after Levi entered the password.


    He paid fifty million in one transaction! Chloe, Mary and the other sales agent were shocked to their


    cores. He really spent that much money to buy a house!


    They stared at Levi with disbelief in their eyes.


    Even with my capabilities, I have to earn this consistent amount for over ten years to afford that house.


    But Levi just paid the sum so effortlessly? Chloe thought to herself.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 43


    What’s going on with him? I know Zoey is not doing well now. That means he relied on himself to afford


    this house. He is still as sessful as before. Perhaps he rebuilt his empire since he was released


    from prison. From my experience, I can tell his worth is at least over a billion at the moment. His


    current status is surelyparable to six years ago!


    Chloe felt as if Levi was emitting a holy glow.


    She regretted her behavior earlier. If I did not act that way, perhaps there might be a chance for us to


    be together. At the very least, I know I am prettier than Zoey.


    The purchase contract was printed swiftly.


    Levi pondered shortly before signing the agreement. “I’m only staying in this house temporarily


    because the vi will bepleting soon. Let’s do this instead. You should sign this contract!”


    Levi looked at Abigail.


    Abigail was astonished.


    She signed the papers in a daze. So Levi actually bought the house for me.


    Chloe, Mary, and the others were losing their minds. He casually bought a fifty million house for his


    sister-inw… How rich is this man?


    That transaction attracted the attention of Bayview Garden’s boss as well. He hurried over and treated


    Levi like an honored guest.


    Chloe received a whoppingmission of one and a half million from that sale alone.


    Although she achieved herrgest sale thus far, Chloe felt extremely bitter in her heart. I can’t believe I


    missed out on the opportunity to enjoy ten or a hundred billion.


    Mr. Wesley, the boss of Bayview Garden handed his name card to Levi. “It is my pleasure to be


    acquainted with you, Mr. Garrison…”


    “Forget about that. You should fire that woman!” Levi looked at Mary. I need to teach her a lesson for


    looking down on others.


    Mary broke down into tears, sprawling on the floor. But her fate had been sealed.


    All the employees at Bayview Garden lined up to send Levi and Abigail off in the end.


    He turned around and nced at Chloe with a smile. “Don’t worry. I will attend the reunion.”


    “Okay.” Chloe’s mood worsened to the brink of despair. Did I just give up a man with a worth of over


    ten billion?


    Abigail looked at Levi with admiration glinted in her eyes. “Does that mean I have a house now, Levi?”


    “I am staying in that house with your sister for now!” Levi corrected her.


    “Then I can stay there too.” Abigail wanted to move out of the dormitory to stay in that house because


    she wanted to see Levi every day.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye as Zoey’s birthday arrived.


    Everyone paused their work to celebrate her birthday together.


    Before Levi could inform Zoey about his dinner reservation at North Hampton city center’s revolving


    restaurant, Caitlyn said first, “Someone arranged a birthday banquet for you, Zoey. You will receive a


    huge surprise soon!”


    Aaron agreed with a smile. “She’s right. The banquet will be held at Kempinski Hotel!”


    Sensing her parents’ mysterious behavior, Zoey said, “Kempinski? That ce is very expensive. A


    meal alone costs over ten thousand! I do not need an extravagant birthday party!”


    Aaron exined. “We’re not the ones that made the arrangements, Zoey. Someone took the initiative.


    Moreover, we are talking about Kempinski Hotel’s most luxurious meal. A table reservation amounts to


    over a hundred thousand.”


    Zoey looked at Levi subconsciously upon hearing that.


    Caitlyn snorted coldly. “Don’t worry, that person is definitely not him! He’s not capable to even host a


    birthday party for you!”


    Levi stopped Abigail as she was about to spill the truth about that revolving restaurant’s reservation.


    A Mercedes-Benz G came to a halt outside Zoey’s house shortly after.


    A man wearing a white suit with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand strode towards the door.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 44


    Zoey recognized the man as the door swung open. He’s the son of one of father’s friends. I heard he


    went to live abroad.


    “You’re getting younger by the day, Uncle and Aunt! Here’s some gifts I brought from overseas.” Theo


    greeted politely.


    He gifted Aaron with a few luxurious bottles of wine and Caitlyn with some expensive makeup products.


    Aaron and Caitlyn were delighted to receive thevish gifts from abroad. These presents will be a


    great topic of conversation with our friends and families. Levi is truly a useless son-inw in


    comparison. He has never provided our family with anything useful.


    “You’re as pretty as ever, Zoey!” Theo leaned closer to kiss Zoey’s cheeks as heplimented her. But


    she tilted away to avoid him instinctively.


    p!


    Levi stood in between Zoey and Theo. “I’m sorry, we do not practice this form of greeting here!”


    Theo ignored Levi and said to Zoey with a smile. “Happy birthday, Zoey! You will like the surprise I’ve


    arranged for you tonight!”


    Zoey nodded. “Ah? Thank you!”


    Theo shifted his gaze onto her parents. “Uncle and Aunt, my parents will be attending the birthday


    banquet tonight as well.”


    “Oh? Really? That’s great!”


    Aaron and Caitlyn were excited to learn that news. We rarely keep contact with our old friends since


    our family’s downfall, especially Theo’s parents. They are both influential figures in government


    departments. His father, Steve Nash, is a high-ranking and powerful officer in the Department of


    Commerce, while his mother, June Webb, holds a leadership position in the Department of Education.


    With Theo’s family background, he is the perfect son-inw candidate for everyone. Any girl will be


    considered lucky to marry him. We had the idea to pair him and Zoey up, but Steve did not want to


    establish any connection with our family previously. This is a golden opportunity to build a good rapport


    with Steve and June since they are willing to attend the birthday banquetter.


    The thought invigorated Aaron. The best oue will be for Theo and Zoey to be a couple.


    Aaron and Caitlyn exchanged nces to express simr thoughts in their minds. This desired oue


    will be rendered impossible with Levi’s existence. Let’s hope Zoey will think wisely for herself. We can


    tell Theo is interested in Zoey judging from the effort he’s putting in to celebrate her birthday.


    Theo and Zoey’s parents chatted while Levi, Zoey, and Abigail sat beside them without saying a word.


    “I’ve started a business overseas, and the prospect of thepany is bright…” Theo began to describe


    his experiences overseas.


    Aaron grinned. “You don’t really have to do anything on your own either, Theo. You are sufficiently


    excellent with your parents’ support.”


    Before long, a Passat arrived.


    Aaron and his family went to wee the visitors at the door.


    A couple got out of the car. They were Theo’s parents.


    Steve was dressed formally with his hands behind his back. He appeared to bepetent and gave off


    a stern vibe from the look of his neatlybed hair.


    Standing beside him, June wore a rtively casual outfit. But her outstanding temperament from years


    of working experience in the governmental department was clear to see.


    “Wee, Steve, June.” Aaron greeted them passionately.


    “Hm.”


    The Return of God of War Chapter 45


    Steve looked at Zoey and said, “I heard about that Ecological Park project you’re working on. That’s


    indeed an impressive aplishment. Keep working hard then.”


    “Thank you, Uncle Steve.” Zoey nodded.


    June was friendlier inparison. With a smile on her face, she said, “Zoey is clearly apetent girl.”


    Caitlyn seized the opportunity to curry some favor from June and Steve by asking them to help their


    daughter whenever possible. After all, Steve is extremely authoritative in the field of business.


    Steve looked at Levi displeasingly. “Of course we’re willing to help your daughter, but have you thought


    about how others will see us if we assist someone that is not rted to us?”


    Everyone knew Steve was implying for Zoey to be his daughter-inw.


    June added with a smile. “After all, we have rules to follow in our family. All our family members must


    have proper conduct and manners.”


    June was informing everyone indirectly that Zoey can be epted into the Nash family as long as she


    completely severs her rtionship with Levi.


    Aaron responded immediately. “We understand that. How else did you manage to raise an


    extraordinary kid like Theo here?”


    “Come on, It’s almost time now. We should head straight for the hotel.” Theo said.


    “Hm. Let’s go.” Steve nodded sternly.


    “Hold on!” Levi voiced out all of a sudden.


    “What’s the matter? You have something to say?” Everyone looked at him simultaneously.


    Levi looked at Zoey. “Zoey, actually, I’ve prepared a birthday banquet for you at a restaurant. Let me


    bring you there.”


    Caitlyn said impatiently. “Hmph! So what? Theo arranged a banquet at Kempinski Hotel! One table


    there costs over a hundred thousand. I’m sure the ce you’ve reserved paled inparison to that.”


    Theo smiled politely at Levi. “I’m afraid Zoey won’t be able to go to the banquet that you’ve prepared. I


    will suffer a loss of over a hundred thousand if we do not attend the banquet at Kempinski Hotel. Let


    me reimburse you the money, perhaps a few thousand is sufficient?”


    Steve red at Levi in dissatisfaction.


    Levi returned Theo’s smile. “My loss will be greater than yours.”


    “Oh? Which restaurant did you booked? I reserved the VIP private room at Kempinski Hotel with a


    minimum spending of one hundred and twenty thousand.” Theo was curious.


    Everyone gazed at Levi too.


    “I made a reservation at North Hampton City Center’s Revolving Restaurant.” Levi answered.


    “What? That restaurant requires a one month advance booking before the desired date. There’s also a


    need to ce a deposit in addition to the ridiculously expensive pricing.” Theo was astonished.


    “Indeed. I heard of that restaurant. Only the wealthiest people in the society and famous stars dine in


    that ce. It’s not umon for a dish to cost over a hundred thousand.” Steve borated.


    Theo asked with uncertainty. “You really booked a table there?”


    “Not just a table. I booked the entire restaurant.” Levi replied nonchntly.


    Everyone burst intoughter upon hearing Levi’s outrageous im. Even Steve broke character and


    sneered.


    “What did you say? I’m afraid my ears are failing me. Did you say you’ve booked the entire restaurant?


    Do you know what’s the requirement to execute that action? Putting aside your status, the money


    needed to book that ce for a day is easily a few million. Are you treating me like a fool?” Theo


    chuckled aloud.


    Caitlyn and Aaron grimaced. Why must Levi always embarrass us whenever there are outsiders? What


    a despicable person.


    “Do you feel proud by your actions? You’re just a joke in everybody’s opinion.”


    Even Zoey found it hard to believe Levi this time.

    The Return of God of War Chapter 46


    I know about the revolving restaurant Levi mentioned. Only someone with a status equivalent to Bryan


    can reserve the entire restaurant. Who does Levi think he is? This is an impossible feat for him!


    Moreover, I doubt Levi can afford a few million now.


    Steve said, “Let’s go and take a look at the revolving restaurant you’ve reserved then. The time is still


    early anyway. If anything goes wrong, we can always go to Kempinski Hotel since it’s nearby.”


    “Alright. Let’s go have a look at the restaurant then.” Theo and June could not wait for Levi to make a


    fool out of himself.


    Aaron and Caitlyn had no other choice but to follow them helplessly.


    Zoey’s mood dampened. I should really talk to Levi if things go south.


    “Aaron, why don’t you join us in our car with Caitlyn? Let the youngsters take the other car.” Steve was


    creating an opportunity for his son.


    In the end, Zoey and Abigail entered Theo’s Mercedes-Benz G.


    “I do not think someone as high and mighty as you should lower your status to sit in my car, Mr.


    Garrison. You should take a cab instead.” Theo said to Levi with a smile.


    “Take my car.” Zoey handed her car keys to Levi.


    The three cars arrived at North Hampton city center one after the other.


    Zoey started to feel uneasy. Her hands that were wrapped around Abigail’s arm, were trembling.


    She was actually anticipating the surprise Levi prepared for her. But on the other hand, she was afraid


    of facing the harsh reality.


    Theo stopped in his tracks abruptly and asked Levi, “Oh. I heard that the revolving restaurant would


    provide customers with a gilded card after a sessful reservation. That card is the pass to enter the


    restaurant.”


    Steve nodded in agreement. “He’s right. The restaurant sends the card to the customer’s house in a


    Rolls-Royce, and the card is coated with real gold. Many celebrities and millionaires even keep the


    gilded card as a souvenir to signify their status.”


    Theo narrowed his eyes at Levi. “Where’s your card, Mr. Garrison? Can we have a look at it?”


    Steve added. “Yeah. We’ve never seen the card in person. Why don’t you enlighten us?”


    Zoey’s anxiety intensified.


    She knew Levi did not have the card as soon as she looked at him. This restaurant requires a one


    month booking in advance. Levi was released from prison two weeks ago. There’s no way he made a


    reservation in time.


    Even Abigail was dumbfounded. We really do not have the card.


    Aaron’s displeased voice was heard. “Do you have the card or not? Show us if you have it.”


    Levi said magnanimously. “I do not have the card because I reserved the entire ce. This is different


    from booking a table.”


    “Hahaha… You don’t have to sugarcoat your words if you don’t have the card.” Theo regarded Levi like


    he’s a fool.


    Steve shook his head helplessly. This young man is nothingpared to my son, yet he was the dark


    horse of North Hampton’s business world six years ago? This is the extent of his capabilities?


    “I’ll apologize on his behalf, Steve and June. Levi never changed his rotten personality of talking big.”


    Aaron exined.


    June smiled without a care. “Let’s go then. We should hurry over to Kempinski Hotel.”


    “Wait a moment.” Abigail stopped everyone from leaving. She suggested. “Although Levi does not have


    the card, we can verify his statement once we’re there at the restaurant, am I right?”


    Steve scoffed. “Sure. Let’s go to the restaurant then.”


    The Return of God of War Chapter 47


    Everyone entered the elevator to go to the 88th floor.


    Ding!


    Zoey could feel her heart pounding heavily and restlessly against her chest as the elevator arrived on


    the 88th floor.


    Thump thump thump…


    But the next moment, everyone was showered with pieces of colorful glittery papers the moment they


    stepped out of the elevator.


    “Happy birthday to you…” The birthday song was heard. Unexpectedly, it was a professional band


    performing the song.


    Zoey looked up and saw the entire restaurant was decorated with huge pictures of herself. Every


    picture was a dear memory of the time she spent with Levi.


    The venue was decoratedvishly with flowers. A sparkling chandelier illuminated the floor with a warm


    glow.


    In the middle of the restaurant was arge, multi-tiered cake ced on top of a cart.


    “North Hampton City Center Revolving Restaurant wishes you a happy birthday, Ms. Zoey! You are the


    first and only person to have a birthday banquet here. So we dedicated a souvenir for you to remember


    this day.”


    The restaurant manager handed a present to Zoey.


    At that moment, tears were already streaming down her cheeks.


    How touching! This is the best birthday celebration a girl can hope for! Abigail looked at Zoey in envy.


    On the other hand, Theo and the rest were stupefied.


    “Let’s go further into the restaurant, Zoey.” Levi held Zoey’s hand and lead her towards the cake ced


    in the middle of the room.


    Levi gave a signal with a click of his fingers just as Zoey was caught in perplexity.


    Whoosh!


    A series of noises was heard.


    Bang!


    Fireworks were seen outside the windows swiftly after.


    Whoosh!


    …


    Volleys of fireworks wereunched upward to the sky, and the people inside the revolving restaurant


    would get a perfect view of the mesmerizing scenery.


    The fireworks were of the best quality as theysted longer and covered arge area of the sky with


    dazzling sparks.


    In the end, tworge and colorful words embellished the sky. Happy Birthday!


    Everyone in North Hampton was captivated by the breathtaking show of fireworks that filled the night


    sky at that moment.


    rity washed over Zoey. All these arrangements are dedicated to me.


    Finally, Levi grasped Zoey’s hands. “Zoey, I promise to protect and cherish you for the rest of my life.”


    “I will stay by your side for the rest of my life too.” Zoey hugged Levi tightly.


    Aaron and Caitlyn were touched by that scene. Levi really hosted a spectacr birthday banquet for


    Zoey in this ce.


    All the colors drained from Theo and his parents’ faces. I’ve made a thorough preparation for Zoey at


    Kempinski Hotel. But all my effort ispletely insignificantpared to Levi’s arrangements.


    Steve’s face darkened. His only desire was to leave the ce immediately.


    The birthday banquetsted through the night.


    Theo, unsettled by the unexpected oue, began investigating the matter. I do not believe Levi has


    the ability to book the entire restaurant!


    Looking into the matter was effortless with Nash Family’s influence.


    Theo suddenlyughed after a few minutes. “Haha. Now I know what’s going on. The young master of


    this restaurant is Abigail’s senior. Moreover, he’s been pursuing her. I finally understood how Mr.


    Garrison managed to reserve this ce. So it’s all because of Abigail.”


    Everyone shifted their gazes onto Abigail, including Zoey.


    Abigail nodded. “Yes. This restaurant belongs to my senior’s family. But now…”


    Theo interrupted Abigail before she could finish her exnation. “I see. We understand everything now,


    Abigail. But I can see Mr. Garrison did ce the effort to decorate this venue.”


    Theo’s superficialpliments were actually an attempt to mock Levi.


    They gave all the credits to Abigail for the sessful birthday banquet because they thought Levi


    would never be able to reserve the restaurant without her help.


    But Zoey did not let go of Levi’s hands. “I am moved by your efforts no matter what.”


    The Return of God of War Chapter 48


    Zoey’s heartfelt words were sufficient to fill Levi’s heart with contentment. I could not care less about


    other’s opinions. All I want to achieve is to please Zoey.


    Aaron and Caitlyn’s resentments toward Levi deepened upon hearing the whole story. “He’s just an


    opportunist!”


    Everyone segued into the birthday banquet afterward.


    Aaron and Caitlyn presented their gifts to Zoey, followed by Abigail.


    Then Steve and June handed the presents they prepared as well.


    Theo questioned Levi. “I suppose your gift must be invaluable too, Mr. Garrison?” I must humiliate him


    in front of everyone!


    “That’s right. What birthday gift did you prepare for Zoey?” Caitlyn could not suppress her curiosity.


    Levi smiled. “I did not bring my gift. Well, it’s more like I can’t bring the present with me.”


    “So what you mean to say is that you did not prepare a present. Isn’t that right, Mr. Garrison?” Theo


    took out a delicate box and gifted the present to Zoey. “This is my gift for you. It’s a ne from


    Cartier, the same design worn by a princess from a foreign country. I spent a lot of effort toy my


    hands on this essory.”


    Caitlyn eyed the sparkling ne. “This must have cost you a fortune, Theo?”


    “Not really, Aunt. It’s about eight hundred thousand only,” said Theo with an indifferent tone.


    “What? eight hundred thousand? Oh my God!” Caitlyn and the others were shocked.


    “Thank you for the goodwill, Theo. As for the gift, I am not going to ept it as it’s an expensive gift.”


    Zoey rejected him firmly.


    But Steve and the others gazed in their direction solemnly. “How can you reject Theo’s kind intention?”


    Caitlyn epted the present in Zoey’s stead immediately.


    Theo looked at Levi. “This is indeed a wonderful banquet all thanks to Abigail, Mr. Garrison. You


    could’ve prepared a gift for Zoey though, even a cheap ne to express your sincerity will do.”


    June smiled. “It is rather inappropriate for you toe empty-handed, not to mention with your ‘special’


    status.”


    Aaron sighed and lowered his head shamefully.


    Caitlyn was even more disgusted by Levi.


    “That’s enough. We’re a married couple for so long, so there’s really no need to fixate on that problem.”


    Zoey smoothed things over in the end.


    Levi and Zoey left for a stroll after the banquet ended. “I did prepare a birthday gift for you.” Levi said all


    of a sudden.


    “What?” Zoey was surprised.


    Levi took out a bunch of keys with abel. “It is time for us to have our own house and move out of your


    parents’ house.” Levi exined with a smile.


    “What? Bayview Garden?” Zoey was astounded after she read thebel on the keys because she knew


    of the overpriced properties in that area. Even Harry Lopez will not joke about buying a house in


    Bayview Garden.


    “Come on. Let’s go have a look.” Levi brought Zoey to Bayview Garden.


    “Oh my God. What did you do?” Zoey was losing her mind.


    “Don’t worry. I rented the house. What do you say if I’ll have you pay the monthly rent?” Levi joked.


    But he did not expect Zoey to believe in that joke. In her opinion, Levi certainly could not afford that


    house. He must’ve rented this ce. But I’m touched, nheless.


    “I’ll pay for the rent.” Zoey said in a rush.


    Zoey had a wonderful night. She was smiling even in her sleep.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 49


    At the Lopez family house, everyone was infuriated when they heard about Zoey’s extravagant


    evening.


    “Zoey had her birthday party at North Hampton City Center Revolving Restaurant. She’s really


    spending money as she likes now!”


    “If it weren’t for grandpa help, I bet they wouldn’t even be able to enter the restaurant.” Mnie roared.


    Henry and Fabian were dissatisfied. “Aaron is a disappointment! If we did not help them previously,


    they would be begging on the streets now, father. How dare they forget about their family after


    receiving that project?”


    Harry grimaced. “I did not expect them to go against me as well. Aaron and Zoey were obedient in the


    past.”


    “This is all Levi’s fault! Did you not notice the way everything is changing since Levi’s back?” Mnie


    uttered.


    A menacing look shed across Samuel’s face. “Hmph! Do they think they will be able to proceed with


    this project smoothly? Dream on!”


    Harry looked at Samuel puzzlingly. “Do you have any good idea, Samuel?”


    Malicious intent glinted in Samuel’s eyes. “They should not be handling this project since we are not


    participating. Don’t worry, grandpa. I am acquainted with a mafia boss. If he’s willing to help us…”


    Harry asked. “Who’s the boss you’re talking about?”


    “Everyone refers to him as Nueve!” Samuel answered.


    “Oh, you’re talking about Nueve. He’s infamous for killing over a hundred people with an axe.”


    “They say no one can match his cruelty and bloodlust.”


    “I heard Nueve was imprisoned for three years in the same prison as Levi. He was released from jail


    last year.”


    Harry and the others were obviously familiar with Nueve’s name.


    “Alright. You will handle this, Samuel. I will pay for the money.” Harry was prepared to risk everything.


    At this time, Zoey, Levi, and the others were unaware of the Lopez Family’s scheme.


    Zoey went to monitor the construction site in person as the project for West City Ecological Park


    started.


    They hired a professional construction team due to their ample funding.


    A few buildings were already taking shape because of their high efficiency.


    That night, Zoey went to survey the site again. But she was met with a total mess as if something


    terrible had happened.


    Zoey and Aaron jogged toward the scene hurriedly.


    They saw two parties standing up against one another. On one side were the construction workers,


    while the other side were a group of unfamiliar thugs with scary tattoos on their bodies.


    They were all carrying knives and other weapons as they closed in on the construction workers.


    Following closely behind the thugs were a group of vigers.


    “What’s going on?” Zoey and Aaron asked as soon as they arrived.


    “Ms. Lopez, they imed themselves to be ex-residents in this area. They are here to create trouble


    because of the on-going demolition. They destroyed our constructs and even harmed us.” The team


    leader of the construction site eximed. “This is so scary! They are evidently thugs who do not belong


    to this vige.”


    Zoey and Aaron shifted their gazes in the other direction.


    The people on the opposite side did resembled criminals who were recently released from prison. Not


    only that, they gave off a sinister vibe as if they were, in fact, murderers.


    “I am the boss of this project. Talk to me if you have any dissatisfaction.” Zoey addressed the crowd


    bravely.


    The person leading the thugs was a muscr man with tanned skin. Horrible scars covered his face,


    shoulders, and body.

    The scars were obviously left behind after he recovered from grave injuries inflicted by knives.


    The sight of his scars was sufficient to invoke fear in most people.


    The man was nicknamed Chopper and he was a famous person in their circle. He was also Nueve’s


    right-hand man.


    Chopper sneered at Zoey while wielding two knives in each hand. “You’re the boss? This demolition is


    wrong in the first ce. You forced your will on us and scammed us, the vigers.”


    “He’s right. We wantpensation!”


    “We will wreak havoc on this ce if you do notpensate us!”


    Under the thugs’ leadership, the vigers shouted angrily.


    Zoey stared at them with all seriousness. “I am sorry, but we’ve acquired the right to develop this area


    legally. If you feel that thepensation amount is not sufficient, then you should be looking for the


    department in charge of this matter, not us.”


    Chopper jeered. “We don’t care about all those things. We’re all justmon folks here, and all we can


    see is that you are building things on ournd. I will give you two choices. Compensate us handsomely,


    or we will destroy whatever you build here.”


    “That’s right! We wantpensation!” Everyone shrieked.


    Zoey finally got the hang of the situation. They are here to stir up trouble. These thugs must have


    forced these vigers to cooperate.


    “Alright. How much do you want us topensate you for?” Zoey asked.


    “We have made the calctions. You only need topensate us with one billion.” Chopper answered.


    “Impossible! Don’t even think about getting a single cent!” Aaron retorted immediately.


    Chopper narrowed his eyes menacingly. “If that’s the case, then destroy everything!”


    The few thugs and over a hundred vigers began wrecking things after receiving Chopper’s


    command.


    The workers tried to prevent them. But the thugs threatened them with knives aimed at their throats. “I’ll


    kill everyone who dares to move.”


    Zoey and the workers could only watch idly at the side as they tear down everything that was built in


    sight, including the worker’s resting area.


    After that, Chopper smiled satisfyingly. “I’m warning you now, Zoey. We wille here every day and


    demolish everything you’ve built if you do notpensate us.”


    Then he threatened the workers. “I will kill all of you if you dare to inform the police.”


    Chopper led the angry crowd away afterward.


    Zoey and Aaron were on the verge of tearing up at the sight of the mess.


    Chopper sneered at the vigers after they reached a secluded area. “Go back to your houses now and


    do not tell anyone about this. I know your address, so I will find you and let you suffer the


    consequences should you disobey me.”


    “We know. We won’t disobey you.”


    The vigers left immediately.


    Chopper dialed a number and reported cheerfully. “We’ve aplished the task, Lord Nueve.”


    An unpleasant voice was heard from the other line. “This is some easy money provided by the Lopez


    family. All we have to do is destroy a few buildings.”


    “You’re absolutely right. I will visit the construction site again tomorrow night, Lord Nueve.” Chopper


    laughed out loud in excitement.


    On the other hand, inside a clubhouse. A lot of people were seated inside a private room.


    Among the crowd was Trey. But he was far from being the center of attention in that banquet because


    Nueve was the host of that event.


    Nueve’s was ranked significantly higher in their circlepared to Trey.


    Someone whispered. “What’s the matter, Lord Nueve? Are you facing any trouble? Just tell me if you


    need any men to do your biddings.”


    Nueve, who was dressed formally for that asion, responded with a smile. “Nothing of the sort. It’s


    just that the Lopez family gifted me with ten million to stir up trouble at the on-going West City


    Ecological Park construction site. I thought the task would be tricky, but things ended smoothly.”
