    The Return Of God Of War Chapter 471-480


    The Return of God of War Chapter 471


    “To war with North Hampton! To war with North Hampton! To war with North Hampton!” Over ten


    thousand men chanted fervidly. Every one of them filled with anger and itching to vent their fury.


    Equipped with swords, they each also had a white flower pinned on their chests and a white band tied


    around their heads.


    And they were all ready to march.


    The Suarez family, the Lopez family, and all the other famous families knew that Scott was going all out


    this time.


    However, it would not achieve anything other than Scott’s death.


    Before it came to that, Scott may have ttened North Hampton and taken revenge on the Morris


    Group.


    “Split into ten groups and head for North Hampton! Men, carry the coffins of my brothers and my sons!


    And don’t forget the one that he sent us. Let’s march!” Scottmanded.


    Ten thousand men spread out into ten groups and marched zealously towards North Hampton.


    Scott and Typhoon personally led a group. Together with Theo and Garfield, they formed the vanguard.


    Five coffins followed them with another three thousand men behind.


    They were all marching towards North Hampton.


    The scene was a magnificent yet terrifying one. They were prepared to kill anyone who stood in their


    way.


    It would be wise for anyone who ran into them to hide.


    Even South City didn’t dare stand in their way despite being aware of their ns.


    Simply because this was a group of fanatics, and there was no stopping them.


    Whoever that tried would have to pay a heavy price.


    Furthermore, they didn’t receive anymunications from North Hampton. Hence, it would be unwise


    to take any action on their own.


    The other nine groups went in vehicles, forming arge convoy towards North Hampton.


    Their mission was simple. Before Scott arrived, they would need to take North Hampton.


    Ideally, that would include defeating the Morris Group and presenting Scott with the head of their


    leader.


    Everyone in Quebec was aware of Scott’s massive action.


    All the powerful families in South City began to hide, afraid of being dragged into the fight.


    There were thirteen thousand men, and the situation was extremely chaotic.


    The other cities in Quebec trembled in fear, anxious that war would spread to their territories.


    No one knew how it was going to turn out.


    Everyone prayed for the safety of North Hampton as it would soon be hell on earth.


    This group of madmen would unleash maximum bloodshed.


    Whoever that was rted to the Morris Group would not escape their clutches.


    By now, North Hampton had heard the news.


    Nueve, Trey, and the others were terrified.


    Compared to what Scott had, they were defenseless.


    Scott is being ruthless!


    Is he really going all out?


    When Jesse heard the news, he quickly checked with Percy to see if they needed to take any


    countermeasures.


    Yet, Percy’s answer was simple. As long as that person was around, they should just do whatever was


    required.


    Only then was Jesse’s mind put at ease.


    Or else they wouldn’t even be able to have the meeting.


    If the matter escted, there was no way he could hide.


    As Scott led his troops through the narrow roads, the three thousand men in the funeral garb scared


    everyone they passed by.


    No one spoke the whole journey there.


    Even when they traversed through the hills, the troop maintained its formation.


    After all, they were Scott’s elite soldiers.


    “Sir, we are an hour away from North Hampton,” Theo reported.


    “Alright, press on!” Scott coldlymanded.


    After marching some time, Typhoon noticed something immediately.


    Stopping in his tracks, he scouted ahead.


    There was an SUV parked not far from where they were.


    A man was sitting inside.


    “Scott, I have been waiting for you a long time!” the man dered with a smile.


    It was Levi!


    The Return of God of War Chapter 472


    Beside him stood three men – Kirin, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger.


    White Tiger looked at the three thousand men in front of him in anticipation.


    Seeing them, Scott waved for his troop to stop.


    “Have you been waiting for me?” Scott asked.


    “That’s right,” Levi replied, puffing his cigarette.


    “Are you the leader of the Morris Group?”


    “Of course.”


    Scott was shocked to see how young Levi was.


    “This is unexpected. I thought you would be a lot older,” Scottmented.


    When Levi caught a glimpse of the coffin they were carrying, heughed. “It appears you are well


    aware of the current situation. You even brought your own coffin to prepare for your death.”


    “Hmph, I prepared it for you!” Scott snorted.


    Levi chuckled. “I’m sorry, I’m still young. Unlike you, it’s going to be a long time before I became dust.”


    “You…”


    Scott was no match for Levi when it came to taunting opponents.


    The next moment, he changed the subject. As his eyes sparkled, he eximed, “Who is the one who


    killed my brothers and godson? Step out now!”


    White Tiger acknowledged with a smile, “It’s me, but you don’t deserve to know my name!”


    White Tiger was right.


    Despite how high Scott’s position was, White Tiger only cared about actual fighting strength. Therefore,


    Scott had no right to know who he was.


    “Very well, do the four of you n to stand against three thousands of us?” Scott sneered.


    White Tiger chuckled in reply, “I’m sorry, it will only be me alone.”


    “How dare you!”


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Garfield and his ten best men charged forward in unison.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Eleven swords glistened in the sun as they were thrust at White Tiger’s vital organs.


    Meanwhile, White Tiger calmly tore off a piece of clothing and covered his mouth.


    He wanted to protect his mouth from the blood that was going to be sttered.


    “Enough of your tricks!”


    With a quick dash, Garfield thrust his sword towards White Tiger’s throat.


    ng!


    However, White Tiger’s reflexes were as fast as lightning. He grabbed Garfield’s wrist and turned the


    sword in Garfield’s direction.


    “Ugh!”


    In a blink of an eye, the sword pierced through Garfield’s body.


    He copsed to the ground with disbelief written all over his face.


    The next moment, the ten elite warriors attacked simultaneously.


    But White Tiger managed to use his clothes to bind all ten des together.


    Jumping into the air, he kicked four to five of them away while finishing the rest with a single punch


    each.


    Blood sttered everywhere.


    In less than ten seconds, all ten men had fallen.


    It was a spectacr sight!


    Scott was impressed by what he saw.


    This man is really strong!


    Everyone knew the reason Garfield was the top dog at Edge City was due to his unrivaled strength.


    Even his ten subordinates were equally invincible.


    However, no one expected them to be disposed of in mere seconds.


    Scott and Theo now understood why Bones and Golem died.


    They were no match for their enemy.


    “No matter how strong you are, can you withstand the force of the three thousand men behind me?”


    Scott scowled.


    Typhoon stopped him and dered, “Let me have a go at him first!”


    They were shocked to see Typhoon’s expression.


    He looked like a beast that had not seen any victims in a long time. Both his eyes gleamed in a


    terrifying manner as if he were eyeing his prey.


    Boom!


    Just then, Typhoon emitted a frightening burst of energy that sted the dust and leaves around him


    away.


    At that moment, everyone noticed the stench of blood that permeated the air.


    They knew the butcher within Typhoon was back, who enjoyed killing for pleasure and sport.


    Despite retiring for thirty years, his strength continued to grow.


    Licking his lips, Typhoon red at White Tiger as if he was his prey.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 473


    He began to approach White Tiger slowly.


    Despite his slow steps, every stride covered tens of meters in distance.


    He managed to close the distance of over a hundred meters in a blink of an eye.


    “My brothers-in-arms! Listen to me! Tear the other three men limb by limb!” Scottmanded.


    Owooooo…


    At that moment, the howl of wolves broke the silence of the forest.


    Everyone looked around in shock as they saw wolves emerge from both sides of the forest.


    Their bodies were much bigger than that of ordinary wolves.


    There were nine on the left and another nine on the right.


    What made the sight more terrifying was that each wolf had a man riding on top. They were dressed in


    ck with a mask covering their faces. All that could be seen were their bloodthirsty eyes.


    These eighteen men had crossbows and guns slung behind their backs. In their hands, were grenades,


    military des, daggers, and other types of advanced weaponry.


    They formed the Cavalry Regiment of the God of War and were the nightmare of enemies on the


    battlefield.


    Every single one of them could defeat a thousand men.


    At the sight of all eighteen men, the morale of the three thousand men was sapped.


    Confusion started to reign among them as they looked towards their sides.


    Since when do men ride on wolves? We have never heard of it before.


    “What are you panicking for? Attack!” Scott bellowed.


    “Remember, kill everyone who stands in your way!”


    Scott’s encouragement managed to set alight the mes of his men’s fighting spirit.


    With three thousand men, there’s no need for them to be afraid.


    Could this eighteen men really stop them?


    Owooooo…


    At that moment, all the wolves let out a long howl beforemencing their attack.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As all eighteen wolves charged down the hills, the ground rumbled with a thunderous roar.


    Smashing into the three thousand troops, the wolves easily mowed down many of them, throwing the


    troops into disarray.


    “Argh!” Cries of agony were heard throughout.


    Meanwhile, the other nine groups of Scott’s men were fast approaching North Hampton.


    Screech!


    Suddenly, the lead car jammed its brakes and caused the whole convoy to stop.


    There was a group of men standing right in front, they were all dressed in the same uniform.


    They wore military green tank tops, simrly colored pants, and ck battle boots.


    However, they were all unarmed and were obviously the Dragon Legion under Alfie’smand.


    They, too, were split into nine battalions to stop the enemy.


    Alfie’s orders to them were simple – it was toplete the mission with their bare hands.


    It caused the beast-like group to cheer fervently as they had not battled in months.


    Despite seeing Alfie’s troops, Scott’s men were not deterred.


    “How dare they block our way unarmed. Brother-in-arms, let’s kill them all!”


    As Scott’s men drew their swords, they marched towards Alfie and his troops.


    From their perspective, it didn’t matter how well Alfie’s men could fight. Bare fists could never beat cold


    steel.


    Today, they were about to be chopped into minced meat. It would be the same for all the other eight


    groups.


    As all of Alfie’s men attacked, both sides quickly shed.


    Soon, cries of anguish filled the air.


    Meanwhile, Typhoon had reached within five meters of White Tiger.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Typhoon picked up speed and charged forward, generating a st of air behind him.


    The leaves on the ground were blown back while two deep-set footprints could be seen where he just


    stood.


    Swoosh!


    Coming out of nowhere, a ck and gold dagger emerged in his hands.


    Boom!


    The moment the dagger appeared, it set off a strong gale. The wind would sting anyone it came into


    contact with, as it could cut like a de.


    Typhoon’s form was perfect in terms of its angle, power, and speed when he thrust his dagger forward.


    He resolutely wanted his strike to draw blood.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 474


    Meanwhile, White Tiger’s blood boiled with excitement when he saw how fearsome his enemy’s attack


    was.


    He didn’t expect the underworld to have someone so powerful left.


    The attack came in a sh.


    White Tiger bent backward so much that he almost touched the ground. With that, he was able to avoid


    the strike.


    Swoosh!


    Crack!


    Typhoon’s knife missed and pierced the tree trunk behind him that was as thick as a man’s waist.


    Suddenly, the tree cracked from the top to the bottom before exploding into smithereens, sending


    pieces of tree bark flying everywhere.


    It was an extremely terrifying sight!


    No wonder he was known as the greatest warrior in Quebec!


    However, White Tiger only responded with a smile. “That’s pretty impressive. Now it’s my turn!”


    With that, he lunged forward with a single punch.


    At the same moment, Typhoon countered with his dagger.


    Crack!


    Somehow, White Tiger caught the dagger between his fingers and smashed his fist into Typhoon’s


    body.


    Boom!


    Upon impact, Typhoon was sent flying backward and crashed into arge tree.


    Before he could pick himself up, White Tiger was upon him.


    Bang!


    He smashed another punch into Typhoon’s face.


    Ooof!


    Blood started to ooze out of Typhoon’s mouth.


    He tried to counter but was held down by White Tiger, who gave him no room to maneuver.


    Bang!


    With Typhoon pinned, White Tiger pounded his fists repeatedly, just like a piledriver.


    After more than twenty consecutive punches, Typhoon was covered in blood and no longer breathing.


    It was a gruesome sight.


    Scott and Theo’s eyes widened so wide as if they could pop out anytime.


    Was the gap in strength so big that Typhoon had no chance to defend himself?


    Typhoon was the best warrior in Quebec. What sort of madness is this?


    It simply didn’t make any sense!


    They were now aware of why the Morris Group acted with such impudence.


    With so many formidable characters among them, they definitely deserved to behave that way.


    If only Scott had as many powerful subordinates as possible under hismand, all the surrounding


    territories would be his. He wouldn’t just be ruling over Quebec.


    When they turned to check on the battle behind them, Scott and Theo gaped.


    They had expected an easy victory given the overwhelming odds of three thousand men against


    eighteen.


    However, they were not prepared for what they saw. The ground was strewn with their men.


    The three thousand men were ughtered into disarray by the eighteen wolf riders, who were


    unstoppable.


    All their men were fleeing, as no one had any courage left to fight.


    The Cavalry Regiment’s attack was so devastating that it felt like the Gods were punishing man.


    No ordinary man was able to withstand God’s judgment.


    The Cavalry Regiment was the equivalent of nuclear weapons on the battlefield.


    Against such a weak enemy, they seemed to be in excessive use of power.


    Three thousand men were simply too few to provide a challenge. Thirty thousand men would have


    stood a better chance.


    Back to the other nine groups.


    When Scott’s subordinates shed with Alfie’s men, they realized they had misjudged the enemy.


    These people are mad! They’re too strong for us!


    In their twenty years of fighting, they had never met such a formidable foe.


    In a blink of an eye, the formations of the other nine groups were broken up. All of Scott’s subordinates


    copsed on the ground while grimacing in pain.


    All it took was two minutes to finish them off.


    Thirteen thousand men were routed in a very short duration.


    No one had expected such an oue.


    In their eyes, Scott was invincible. However, in the face of true strength, they couldn’t evenst more


    than three minutes.


    At that moment, Scott was dumbfounded when he realized Typhoon was dead and all three thousand


    of his elite troops had been routed.


    What else did he have left? Nothing at all.


    “Sir, the other nine groups have reported that they have been defeated! We’re finished. Everything is


    lost!” Even Theo was almost in tears.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 475


    Scott closed his eyes in despair.


    It’s all gone!


    They had not expected such a swift ending.


    The coffin they carried was indeed meant for him.


    “Your biggest mistake was to attack North Hampton, or else you would still be able to live.”


    Scott was jolted when he heard Levi’s voice.


    Opening his eyes, he asked Levi, “Before I die, can you tell me your identity?”


    Suddenly, Theo interrupted with a trembling voice, “Sir… I know who they are!”


    “What?” Scott asked.


    “It’s North Hampton! Who can’t we afford to offend in North Hampton?” Theo reminded.


    When Scott saw the wolf riders, he eximed, “Are those the infamous Cavalry Regiment? Does that


    mean he’s… the God of War!”


    Scott caught his breath as he mentioned the name of the supreme warrior.


    He had not expected it at all.


    It was no wonder that the head of the Morris Group was a mystery, and no information could be found


    about him.


    The only rumor they heard was that no one knew where he was from.


    It didn’t matter, since he was the legend himself.


    Instantly, Scott was filled with regret.


    He despised the fact that Sebastian had provoked him to lead his army out.


    Finally, the incident that had caused so much panic dissipated just like that, and no one was the wiser.


    There were many rumors that perceived the incident as a fabrication. Scott had never gathered ten


    thousand men in the first ce.


    No such thing ever happened.


    Nevertheless, one rumor was absolutely true. Scott had disappeared.


    Overnight, Quebec’s underworld was wiped out.


    Something that couldn’t be done over more than ten years was aplished within one night.


    The masses were cheering in joy.


    After all, Scott and his men were like parasites, and they had continuously terrorized the popce.


    When Levi had men investigate Scott’s assets, it came up to over a hundred billion.


    He ordered all the money to be used for charity. Whoever dared to abuse it, he would personally hold


    them ountable.


    With that, the popce cheered the decision.


    Such a popr decision would certainly increase the cohesion within the city’s residents.


    Now, the Morris Group’s objective was to continue developing North Hampton and spend the funds for


    the benefit of the popce.


    Meanwhile, Jesse asked Levi if he was interested to go to South City and develop Quebec.


    However, Levi rejected him for the time being as he still wanted to stay by Zoey’s side.


    He had told his wife that he wished to give her the future she wanted.


    Therefore, he would only move to South City if that were what Zoey longed for.


    After the battle, South City and all the other cities’ family-run industries operated in peace.


    Everyone was aware that North Hampton was untouchable, and therefore no one dared to attack it.


    If they did go there, it would be to develop North Hampton first while profits were secondary.


    Hence, the development of North Hampton elerated very quickly.


    One day, Azure Dragon went to see Levi.


    “Do you still remember Scott’s hundred billion worth in assets?” Azure Dragon asked.


    “I do. What about it? Did someone abuse the funds?” Levi frowned as he asked.


    Azure Dragon shook his head, “It’s actually worse. Someone discreetly acquired thepany’s assets.


    The eighty billion that was meant to be invested in public charities are all gone!”


    “What? How did that happen? Did someone secretly siphon the money out?” Levi eximed in shock.


    How could the funds I had specifically earmarked encounter such a problem?


    “Have you investigated it thoroughly?” Levi inquired.


    “More or less. The one responsible is thergestpany in Quebec, the Triple Group from Keerea.


    They acquired thepany and essed the eighty billion!” Azure Dragon exined.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 476


    “How dare they do something like that right under my nose? Are they looking for trouble?” Levi fumed.


    Levi realized that these foreigners were orded many special benefits in Erudia.


    Meanwhile, his own countrymen didn’t get any special privileges.


    “It’s not going to be easy. The Triple Group contributes a significant portion of Quebec’s GDP and


    creates a lot of job opportunities. Therefore, they are allowed to act with impunity as the local


    government turns a blind eye to their actions. In fact, the government is going to introduce many


    policies that favor their business.” Azure Dragon exined.


    “What does South City have to say about it?” Levi inquired.


    “South City is not keen on pursuing the matter and has agreed with their actions. They said that the


    Triple Group has promised to increase their contributions towards public welfare and charity.” Azure


    Dragon sighed.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, Levi mmed the table forcefully.


    “This is uneptable! How can the great Erudia be manipted by a foreignpany? Why do we


    allow them to dictate what we do?” Levi thundered.


    Azure Dragon was caught by surprise at how angry Levi was.


    “Tell South City to deal with this immediately!” Levi barked.


    “Alright, I understand.”


    Levi was aware that Scott’s assets were very valuable, and many parties had their eye on it ever since


    Scott’s demise.


    The Suarez family and the Lopez family knew the truth about what happened, so they stayed away.


    However, the Triple Group didn’t and did whatever they wanted due to their powerful position as a


    foreignpany.


    They used about a billion to acquire an asset worth a hundred billion.


    That came up to a profit of eighty billion!


    Perhaps South City could tolerate the issue, but it was uneptable to Levi.


    The funds were supposed to be used for good; hence, whoever dared touch it would feel his wrath.


    With that, Azure Dragon was sent to South City to deal with the problem.


    Meanwhile, Levi arrived at Oriental Star Group to meet with Zoey and was told that Zoey was in the


    midst of discussing a coboration.


    Outside the meeting room, Gerry rted to Levi in delight, “Mr. Garrison, the stars, which we have


    groomed – Helena and Maurice, are now wildly popr. The Triple Group invites us to form a


    coboration today. They want Helena to be their product spokesperson, and I heard her fee would go


    up to a billion! Also, this is only the beginning. There are ns for a series of projectster on.”


    The more Gerry shared, the more excited he became.


    When Levi heard that the Triple Group was involved, he frowned.


    “Did you mean the Triple Group from South City?” He asked.


    “That’s right!”


    After a short while, the negotiations for the partnership wereplete.


    The groundwork for the coboration had beenid. What came next was the discussion on price and


    the signing of the contract.


    Zoey was all smiles.


    Ever since their two blockbuster movies, the number ofpanies who wanted Helena to be their


    spokesperson or attend theirmercial events increased significantly.


    Even the contract with the Triple Group was worth more than a hundred million.


    The Oriental group had opened the door for them to make it big in the entertainment industry.


    Helena and the other stars’ value jumped many-fold.


    “Ms. Lopez, If there aren’t any unforeseen issues, we will sign the contract tomorrow. I have run this


    through our big boss, and he has agreed to all your conditions.” Horace confirmed with a smile.


    Horace from Triple Group was responsible for the negotiations.


    “Alright, no problem!” Zoey nodded in agreement.


    When she returned to her office, Levi asked, “Are they signing a spokeswoman to showcase their


    electronic products?”


    Everyone knew that the Triple Group’s electronic products were top-notch.


    Zoey shook her head. “No, the electronic products willeter. They are signing Helena now for a


    charity event.”


    “What? A charity event?” Levi furrowed his eyebrows and could feel something wasn’t right.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 477


    “That’s right. The Triple Group ns to organize a charity event in South City. They have invited many


    celebrities and prominent figures to the event. In fact, if Helena participates in it, she will receive a


    handsome appearance fee.”


    “The Triple Group is being very generous this time. I hear that they will be donating ten billion to charity,


    and it’s an impressive amount of money. It’s rare to findpanies that do good now.” Zoey couldn’t


    help but sigh.


    “It’s all a sham! How shameless can they be!” Levi fumed as soon as he understood what was going


    on.


    Zoey was shocked at his reaction.


    The Triple Group was devious. They took away eight hundred billion initially earmarked for charity and


    only used about ten billion from it to cate South City by organizing a charity event.


    What was even more infuriating was the fact that they organized it under the Triple Group’s name and


    invited A-list celebrities to further bolster their reputation.


    They were just promoting the Triple Group’s brand under the pretext of charity.


    The benefits they stood to gain were worth more than ten billion.


    It was simply despicable.


    “Honey, don’t sign the contract tomorrow!” Levi demanded.


    Zoey was puzzled. “Huh? Why?”


    “Honey, do you know why Triple Group wants to donate to charity?” Levi asked.


    “To elevate their image in society as a caring organization?” Zoey replied.


    “No! The Triple Group needs to fulfill the requirement that South City has set for them. Before this, they


    had gained ess to a hundred billion worth of charity funds…” Levi rted the whole incident to


    Zoey.


    “Why don’t you get it back instead?” Zoey questioned.


    Levi smiled wryly. “Firstly, the Triple Group acted swiftly. Even though the funds were earmarked for


    public welfare, they managed to acquire thepany discreetly. Secondly, South City turns a blind eye


    to their actions as long as they continue expanding there.”


    “They’re really despicable. These bloodsuckers pretend to be apany that cares despite having


    stolen the hard-earned money from the poor. It’s just a charade, damn them!”


    “In that case, I won’t sign the contract. I don’t want their dirty money!” Zoey raged.


    Although she usually toleratedmon business practices, this was something too big for her to


    ignore. Therefore, she was firm in her decision.


    “Mm, that’s my wife for you!” Leviplimented Zoey with a thumbs-up.


    On his way out of thepany, Levi bumped into Helena and the others.


    They were polite with Levi as they acknowledged him as their benefactor.


    Without him, they would still be making two to three thousand a month and living in a dark basement.


    They would definitely not have the opportunity to live a life that allowed them to sign a contract worth


    tens of millions.


    However, Maurice’s attitude seemed to have changed. He reminded Levi, “Mr. Garrison, now that the


    four of us are famous, I hope that you won’t share with others the fact that we used to work in sales. To


    us, that was a shameful part of our lives.”


    Meanwhile, Helena tried to push him away, but Maurice was adamant. He added, “We will definitely


    give you an incentive fee. Why don’t you tell us how much you want, and I’ll get someone to pay you?


    After that, we will pretend that we don’t know one another. If you let our secret out, I will definitely make


    you pay!”


    It wasmon knowledge in thepany that Maurice was full of himself ever since he became


    sessful. He did not respect anyone else anymore.


    “Incentive fee? Fine, give me ten billion then!” Levi replied.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 478


    Everyone was stunned to hear Levi’s demands.


    Maurice looked at Levi in disbelief. “You’re really greedy! I’m warning you not to go overboard!”


    Levi ignored him and left.


    “Why is he like that?” Maurice fumed.


    Helena admonished him, “Maurice, how can you speak to him so rudely? Mr. Garrison is our


    benefactor!”


    “Hmph, I admit we do owe him. But the reason I’m popr now is because of my own efforts and


    acting skills. He probably contributed about ten percent of our sess. That’s why I wanted to give him


    some money to repay his kindness. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of me!” Maurice sneered.


    Helena red at him before she left, fuming.


    In life, there were many people who became famous or rich overnight.


    It was hard to stay grounded as most people couldn’t help but let sess get to their heads.


    After Maurice became famous overnight, his attitude changed significantly.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    He didn’t care for his old friends and broke up with his girlfriend of seven years.


    In the office, he would always put on airs. Other than Zoey, he would not treat anyone else with


    respect.


    To the extent that he epted private jobs for additional ie.


    Rumor had it that his personal life was also in a mess.


    Zoey was now aware of his behavior.


    “Are you not going to do something about him?” Levi asked.


    “Given that the two movies are doing very well. We can only turn a blind eye for now,” Zoey replied with


    a helpless expression.


    Suddenly, her tone changed. “However, he has gone overboard. He and Helena were supposed to be


    paid a few hundred thousand for acting in the films. But, when he saw how popr the movie became,


    he demanded a bonus of at least ten million. Or a sry of at least twenty million for his next film.”


    “To be honest, he really is very popr and well worth the money. By the way, what about Helena?”


    Levi asked.


    Zoey responded with a smile. “Helena and the rest are really grateful and have left all the decisions to


    thepany. Their attitude hasn’t changed much despite their sess.”


    “That’s very good!” Leviughed.


    The next day, Triple Group’s representative, Horace, came to continue the negotiations.


    Maurice and Helena were also present.


    Being the spokesperson, Maurice was feeling excited. Once the contract was signed, he would receive


    over ten million as spokesperson fees.


    He had nned to buy a mansion and luxury car with the money.


    Everyone waited in the meeting room until Zoey arrived.


    “Ms. Lopez, if you don’t have any issues, please sign the contract,” Horace suggested with a smile.


    Smiling back at him knowingly, Zoey replied, “I’m sorry Mr. Waller, I won’t be signing it today.”


    What!


    Zoey’s decision was as shocking as being struck by lightning. Everyone in the room was stunned as


    they looked at her in disbelief.


    Didn’t everything go well yesterday?


    The Triple Group is being very generous with a hundred million worth of spokesperson fees.


    Why did she change her mind?


    Before Gerry and the others could respond, Maurice couldn’t sit still anymore.


    “Ms. Lopez, why? Where else can we find a coboration like that? Of all the recent offers we received


    from otherpanies, the Triple Group has given us the best terms.” Maurice stared at Zoey in


    disbelief.


    Levi, who was sitting beside, sneered, “The management has decided not to sign it. Are you doubting


    the management’s decision?”


    “You… I…”


    Maurice was dumbfounded at Levi’s challenge.


    No matter how arrogant he got, he realized that he was still dependent on Zoey.


    “Why don’t you keep quiet as Ms. Lopez has her reasons!” Helena and her colleagues held Maurice


    back.


    The Return of God of War Chapter 479


    Maurice was now bing increasingly arrogant. During the management meeting, he insisted on


    interrupting.


    He was upset but forced himself to suppress his anger.


    Meanwhile, Gerry questioned, “Ms. Lopez, what happened? We didn’t hold a meeting to discuss this,


    so why are we rejecting the contract now?”


    All the other members of management were puzzled.


    Horace too inquired with a smile, “Ms. Lopez, may I know what the problem is? Weren’t we clearly on


    the same page yesterday? Why are you going back on your word today?”


    Just then, Maurice couldn’t help but interrupt, “That’s right. Ms. Lopez, your decision shows that you


    are untrustworthy. You can’t let your personal agenda affect how you run thepany. As actors,


    credibility is important to us too. Even if you are the boss, you can’t diss us like that!”


    “Know your ce!” Zoey bellowed suddenly, shocking everyone present.


    “Thepany management is having a meeting. Since when do you have the right to speak? You are


    bing increasingly presumptuous!” Zoey snarled as she couldn’t tolerate Maurice’s behavior


    anymore.


    Meanwhile, Levi was secretly gloating.


    Despite his wife’s gentle demeanor, she would snap back when cornered.


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Lopez.” Maurice apologized and hung his head in silence.


    He was utterly embarrassed after being admonished by Zoey in front of everyone.


    As it was the most humiliating moment of his life, all he felt was anger.


    Clenching both his fists tightly, he promised himself, “Zoey and Levi, just you wait. I’ll have my


    revenge!”


    Zoey exined to Horace, “Mr. Waller, I did some researchst night and realized that yourpany is


    not being honest. The charity g you are organizing is a sham!”


    Hearing that, Horace’s expression darkened.


    Does Zoey know the truth?


    “Therefore, I won’t participate in an event that goes against my conscience. I also won’t allow my


    employees to do the same too. Hence, I won’t sign the contract because I’m worried such a despicable


    matter would negatively impact Oriental’s reputation!” Zoey scoffed.


    Horace sniggered, “Very well, it’s just a bunch of celebrities. It’s a joke that you think I can’t find them


    elsewhere. Next time, don’t expect to ever work with the Triple Group again!”


    Fuming, Horace prepared to leave.


    “I would like to give yourpany some advice. If you keep taking advantage of other people, karma


    wille for you! Especially when it involves a hundred billion. Do you know how many people that


    hard-earned money belongs to?” Zoey warned.


    “You…”


    Further infuriated, Horace mmed the door as he left.


    Meanwhile, there was silence in the meeting room.


    Everyone looked at Zoey with a puzzled expression.


    “Alright, all those who are the management, please stay back. The rest, you are dismissed.” Zoey


    instructed.


    She wanted to exin to the rest of the management the reason she didn’t sign the contract.


    Since it involved the secrets of the Triple Group, she didn’t want too many people to know as it might


    put their lives in danger.


    Maurice then left with dissatisfaction written all over his face.


    Once outside, Helena asked in a low voice, “What do you think the reason was for Ms. Lopez to reject


    the contract?”


    “I’m sure she has her reasons. I think it’s a good idea we didn’t sign it,” someone remarked.


    “Haha, I know the reason why Zoey doesn’t want to sign the contract!” Maurice eximed.


    “What is it then?” Everyone looked at him curiously.


    “It’s because I offended her husband! She wants to make things difficult for me on purpose. Didn’t you


    see how she singled me out during the meeting? My guess is that she doesn’t want me to sign any


    spokesperson contracts or take any advertisements. She ns to cklist me instead!” Maurice


    dered viciously.


    “Maurice, your imagination is running wild. Ms. Lopez isn’t someone like that.” Helena defended.


    “Hmph! I’m sure about it. She’s definitely biased against me!”


    The Return of God of War Chapter 480


    In the meeting room, the management board agreed with Zoey’s decision after she exined herself.


    “These bloodsuckers are despicable for using the public’s money to do charity work!”


    “That’s right. If the Oriental Star Group is involved with them, it would be devastating for our reputation


    when the truth is discovered.” Gerry and the other members of management were outraged.


    “I’m worried that the Triple Group would seek revenge against us. In terms of both financial capability


    and influence, aren’t we weakerpared to them?” someone asked.


    “Definitely. The Triple Group’s financial prowess is the strongest among all, and no one can stand in


    their way!”


    Zoeyughed in response. “Let them take their revenge. Don’t forget we still have the Morris Group


    supporting us.”


    Meanwhile, Horace didn’t leave North Hampton. Instead, he went to look for a different entertainment


    company, given that North Hampton had the most developed entertainment industry within the region.


    There were many good drama schools there that naturally led to better entertainmentpanies.


    At night.


    Horace was inside a five-star hotel.


    Standing in front of him was Maurice, Helena, and other new stars from Oriental Star Group’s stable.


    Horace didn’t want to give up on them as their new film had been a blockbuster recently.


    Hence, they were too popr to be ignored.


    Smoking a cigar, Horace grinned. “I’m sure all of you know why I have asked you toe.”


    Helena and the others felt uneasy.


    However, Maurice was direct. “Do you n to sign us as spokespersons?”


    “That’s right, you’re a smart one!” Horaceughed.


    Helena interjected, “But we can’t do this, Mr. Waller. You have to go through ourpany first.


    Furthermore, Ms. Lopez has rejected you earlier in the day.”


    Taking a puff from his cigar, Horace beamed. “I’ve seen the contract you signed with Oriental. The


    restrictions they ced on you are ratherx.”


    Everyone including Helena was aware of that.


    Zoey valued freedom, so she didn’t impose upon them the draconian terms that would limit their


    options.


    Their contracts allowed them to take on frence work.


    Other entertainmentpanies would impose rigid contracts upon their artistes to tie them down to the


    company.


    The terms would be so draconian that thepany would even determine what food they ate.


    Horace continued, “Therefore, you don’t have to worry about epting frence work. Thepany


    has no legal basis to take action against you.”


    With a wave of his hand, Horace’s assistant brought out a set of contracts.


    “You will get fifteen million each. After that, ourpany will sign you on as spokespersons for our


    electronic products. We will offer you a sry of at least eighty million annually.” Horace dered.


    At that moment, Maurice’s eyes sparkled as he replied, “Fantastic! I’ll sign it. The money isn’t important


    as long as I can have the opportunity to work with apany as big as the Triple Group!”


    “Wonderful! You do know what’s good for you, I’m impressed!” Horace remarked.


    Maurice signed the contract in front of Helena and the others.


    Ding!


    In less than ten minutes, fifteen million arrived in his ount. Maurice was ecstatic.


    After slogging through two movies for Oriental, all he received was five hundred thousand.


    Now, he received fifteen million just for participating in a charity event.


    A mansion? Luxury car? Beautiful women? He was able to buy anything he wanted now.


    Everyone else looked on in envy as no one could deny the temptation of fifteen million.


    “Helena, what are you still waiting for? Sign it! It’s fifteen million! You don’t have to feel bad for the


    company as their contract doesn’t restrict us from carrying out frence work.” Maurice persuaded the


    others.


    “So what if they find out? We should do whatever we want!”
