    The Return Of God Of War Chapter 981-990


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 981


    Levi was already serenely asleep in his bed.


    He knew nobody would be able to get close to his manor that night.


    At the warzonepound, Phoenix was busy controlling a fewputers. There were dense red dots


    on the map above.


    The red dots indicated their targets – the elite fighters who had heeded the Garrison n’s call to


    assassinate Levi.


    “They have started to take action!”


    Through the Sk surveince, all the assassins were clearly seen moving towards the city center.


    “Alright, let the Cavalry Regiment begin action!” Phoenix ordered.


    “On top of that, there are other people who are still trying to get into South City!” she informed.


    “Leave that matter to us! From now on, we will not allow anyone to enter the city.”


    Azure Dragon and Kirin, together with their team, soon began to take action, keeping all the elite


    fighters from entering the city to join the hunt.


    Amongst these elite fighters, the speediest team had to be the Southeastern Tigers. These three


    brothers had been practicing martial arts since they were young and were incredibly skilled.

    They made their way near Levi’s manor very quickly.


    “We’re the first to arrive here. Once we kill Levi and his mother, the reward of three billion will be ours.”


    With excitement in their eyes, the Southeastern Tigers rushed into the manor.


    However, at the very next moment, two figures appeared in front of them.


    The two of them were Lionfang Knights.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Zlopp!


    In an instant, the Southeastern Tigers lost their consciousness and fell onto the ground…


    More assassins soon emerged around the manor. The moment they attempted to enter the residence,


    a few more figures appeared before them.


    They all shared one simrity – they were all Lionfang Knights.


    One by one, they disappeared.


    For each assassin that popped up, another would definitely vanish.


    The number of assassins who arrived was rising rapidly…


    One hundred…


    Two hundred…


    Five hundred….


    Five hundred thirty eight…


    In the end, more than five hundred people had disappeared – none of them had managed to get close


    to the manor.


    Once all the assassins had been taken care of, eighteen figures around the manor dissipated


    immediately.


    The Cavalry Regiment hadpleted their mission.


    At the Golden za.


    Jayden and the rest could not help feeling a little anxious.


    “It’s already been half an hour. Why has there been no news at all?”


    They began pacing up and down the room.


    Lyndsay was not present there. She had left when she found out that the elite fighters were headed to


    kill Levi.


    “Mr. Edward, should I send someone there to check what’s going on?” Jayden asked worriedly.


    “There is no need for that. Such big movements will only attract attention. We cannot reveal our


    identities,” Edward cautioned.


    “Can’t you all have a little patience? What are you afraid of? You think Levi did not die? That’ll be


    impossible!”


    Edward shot daggers at all of them.


    “Understood.”


    So, everyone continued waiting with bated breath.


    However, another hour soon passed, and something had yet to happen.


    By now, Edward could no longer maintain his calmposure.


    How could five hundred elite fighters take so long to kill Levi and his mother?


    Something must have gone wrong…


    Someone analyzed the situation and insinuated, “Let’s wait a little longer. There could have been a


    conflict when they were fighting over the job. After all, the killer gets three billion. Anyone would fight for


    this!”


    “That’s true! Out of more than five hundred people, there will only be one person or one team that will


    end up with that three billion. They must all be fighting to murder Levi right now!”


    Edward agreed with such an analysis.


    Hence, everyone continued waiting.


    However, another hour passed with no news being reported.


    “This…”


    Edward was growing increasingly impatient.


    “Oh no, oh no…”


    At that moment, someone ran in bearing bad news.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 982


    “What happened?” Edward immediately questioned.


    “The experts have vanished inexplicably, all five hundred thirty-eight of them! It’s as if they were never


    even here!”


    What?


    Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning when they heard this piece of shocking news.


    “What? They all vanished? Every single one of them?”


    Edward was in shock and disbelief, just like everyone else around him.


    “That’s right! It’s too strange! Everyone actually disappeared! On top of that, there was no sign of fight


    nor struggle at the scene. None of them actually reached Levi’s residence. They just vanished into thin


    air…” the person reported in a hurry.


    “How is that even possible? Five hundred over elite fighters disappearing into thin air? That’s clearly


    not possible!”


    Jayden was shocked to the core.


    Edward took a deep breath before he spoke. “Someone must have taken action against them!


    Otherwise, how can one exin the disappearance of more than five hundred elite fighters? Such an


    urrence is simply absurd!”


    Everyone was just as confused as him. “But who has the ability to make more than five hundred elite


    fighters suddenly disappear without a trace? Such a feat is clearly impossible!”


    “Yes, who could possess such abilities and power? It definitely can’t be Levi; he doesn’t have such


    strong abilities!”


    Levi was the first person they eliminated from their list of possible suspects.


    Edward suddenly thought of something and asked, “Has there been someone prominent who arrived


    here not too long ago?”


    “Come to think of it, Mr. Edward, there is indeed someone prominent here. The God of War is here, and


    he has apparently killed a number of prominent figures,” Jayden told him.


    “Then, it must have been the God of War who noticed these elite fighters. With his power, he can


    definitely make more than five hundred people disappear instantly!” Edward contemted out loud.


    “In this case, is Levi really that lucky? Did the God of War actually save his life?” Jayden eximed


    helplessly.


    Edward was suddenly reminded of Jonah’s warning.


    Thetter had already warned him not to take action.


    “What could the Garrison family of Haven find difficult about killing a bastard? How can that be


    possible? I guess Jonah and the rest have already met the God of War.”


    Everything soon made sense to Edward.


    “Yes, that’s possible. I heard that Jonah was once saved by Kirin, who reports to the God of War.


    Hence, it’s only logical that he would not dare to do anything under their watchful eye!”


    Jayden affirmed Edward’s spection.


    Bang!


    Edward mmed his hands on the table violently.


    “That’s to say, as long as we are here, we will not be able to kill Levi?” Edward snarled.


    “It seems like it! Whatever we do will be observed by the God of War, and there is no way of escaping


    his scope.”


    “How can one bastard be so lucky?” Edward sneered.


    Damien had said that the rest of them would have to die if the bastard did not.


    “Think of a way to get Levi and his mother out of here. Get them to a ce where we are not under the


    sight of the God of War!” Edward ordered as he tried to keep the tone of exasperation out of his voice.


    “Yes, sir!”


    “Oh yes, Mr. Edward, I’ve heard that the God of War is also a Garrison. Could he be one of the


    Garrisons of Oand City? Apart from the Garrison n of Oand City, no other Garrison branch has


    the ability to produce a superior talent like this!”


    Jayden could not help but ask.


    “Oh yes, when the God of War appeared out of nowhere, we assumed that he was a Garrison talent!


    However, after we investigated, we found out that it was not so! Both the Grand Master and Master


    Tyrone wishes he were a Garrison too!”


    “If the God of War belongs to the Garrison n of Oand City, our position will surely be further


    elevated!”


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 983


    Edward was hopeful as well.


    The Grand Master, Kenny Garrison, Tyrone’s father, who was also Levi’s supposed grandfather, had


    once said that if they were ever to meet the God of War, the man was to be their god-grandson.


    They shared the samest name anyway; their positions and ranks also perfectly matched.


    “Come on, if this bastard had even one-tenth of the God of War’s powers, would the Garrison n


    need to kill him? Master Tyrone and even the Grand Master himself would need to plead for him to


    return to the family!”


    Edward sighed.


    Jayden allowed himself to smile. “How could you say such a thing, Mr. Edward? How could you


    compare a bastard to the God of War? There is no point ofparison between the two of them at all!”


    “That’s true. The bastard is miles and miles beneath the God of War!”


    Edward’s eyes scanned the room before he said, “Think about how we can get the two of them out of


    there!”


    To which Jayden replied, “Mr. Edward, I have an idea!”


    “Out with it then!”


    “Mr. Edward, you could use the Garrison n of Oand City’s name to issue amand to the South


    Hampton’s Joneses. You could instruct them to bring Emma Jones home and reinstate her identity as a


    Jones. With that, Emma and Levi will definitely leave for the Jones residence. By then, won’t they be


    ready for ughter?”


    Jayden chuckled menacingly after he shared his thoughts.


    Edward nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Brilliant! We will go with what you have proposed then!”


    He then added, “I will arrange for a group of top assassins to lie in ambush throughout their journey.


    The moment Levi appears in South Hampton, they will instantly decimate him.”


    That night itself, Edward brought his men to the Jones residence in South Hampton.


    “Michael, since Emma has been freed, reinstate her identity! This is an order from the Garrison n!”


    Edward delivered hismand directly.


    Michael, the head of the Joneses, did not think too much about such an order.


    When he heard that he was allowed to bring Emma home, he was very emotional and immediately


    agreed to do so.


    The next day.


    Everything went about as normal among Levi’s family; it was as if nothing had happened.


    However, a huge earthquake had urredst night…


    Zoey and Emma werepletely ignorant about it.


    “Zoey, you should head to work first. I have something to do here,” Levi informed.


    He then headed to the warzonepound to find out more aboutst night’s situation.


    Lyndsay was hiding in a dark corner in front of the Morris Group building, observing her surroundings


    the entire time she was there.


    She was camped out there to confirm Levi’s death.


    She had resorted to such measures as Jayden had not cared to update her on anything.


    “Oh? Only Zoey is here. And she’s walking in such a hurry? Levi is definitely dead!”


    Lyndsay almostughed out loud.


    Her most hated enemy was finally dead!


    “Levi, take a look at how I will torture Zoey now!”


    Lyndsayughed once more before she put on her shades and walked towards the entrance of Morris


    Group.


    “I’m here for Zoey!”


    She walked into Zoey’s office with an air of arrogance. “Oh, you’re still in the mood toe to work,


    Ms. Lopez? Why don’t I see you crying?”


    Such a statement made Zoey very confused.


    What’s up with Lyndsay?


    Is there something wrong with her?


    She said she wanted to kneel in front of Levi yesterday, and here she is today, spouting strange things.


    What’s wrong with her?


    “Are you alright?” Zoey asked.


    “I’m just here to see you. Mentally, you’re a lot stronger than I expected you to be. And here I was


    expecting you to copse. Or do you actually not love Levi nor care about him at all?”


    Lyndsay was intrigued by how the other woman behaved; it was as if nothing had happened.


    “What do you mean I don’t care about him? Of course I love him.”


    Zoey was getting more and more befuddled.


    What is she even doing here?


    At that very moment, the office door opened, and in walked Levi.


    “Ghost!”


    Lyndsay screamed out loud when she saw him.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 984


    “Ghost?”


    Zoey grew even more confused.


    Why on earth is Lyndsay spouting nonsense?


    “Do I look like a ghost to you?”


    Levi chuckled at her question.


    Lyndsay gawked at the man with a frightened and incredulous expression.


    “She’s acting really weird. Why does she keep talking gibberish?”


    Zoey’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and bewilderment glinted in her big, round eyes.


    “She’s here to kneel before me.”


    With that, Levi dragged the terrified woman out of the office and to the front of thepany’s entrance.


    Only then did Lyndsay slowly regain herposure.


    “You… You’re not dead?” she asked in disbelief.


    “I told you I wouldn’t die, didn’t I?” Levi chuckled.


    The woman hurriedly sent a text to seek confirmation on the matter, and Jayden soon verified that


    Levi’s death did not ur as nned.


    “How are you still alive? It should’ve been impossible!”


    She couldn’t wrap her head around this fact.


    “Why do you say so? Did you send someone to murder me?”


    The grin on Levi’s face grew even wider as he spoke.


    “No, no… I should actually get going…”


    Turning around, Lyndsay tried to scurry away.


    “Hold on. Did I say you could leave?”


    Levi’s voice echoed in her ears.


    “What? How can you stop me from leaving? What are you trying to do?” she retorted fearlessly.


    I’m not scared of him. He’s just an illegitimate bastard who’s going to lose his life anytime.


    “Do you still remember our bet yesterday?”


    His words made Lyndsay’s expression fall. Yet, the woman gritted her teeth, denying it. “Our bet? What


    bet are you talking about? I don’t know a thing about it.”


    “Besides, you’re not qualified to have ever ced a bet with me,” she added.


    “You said it right here yesterday evening. You told me that if I’m still alive today, you’ll kneel before me


    now,” Levi stated slowly, enunciating every word.


    “No way! No such thing happened! Why would I agree to such ame bet?” Lyndsay denied adamantly.


    “Move aside! I’m leaving!”


    She attempted to shove him out of the way, but he caught ahold of her and said, “I’ll let you go only if


    you kneel to me.”


    Levi’s voice was ice cold and intimidating.


    Lyndsay’s face flushed in embarrassment.


    Of course I remember the bet. But there’s no way I’m going to kneel to this bastard! That’ll be the


    humiliation of a lifetime! I’m the vice president of the Pinnacle Group and a prominent figure under the


    Garrison n of Oand City. ording to the norms in the upper echelons of society, I’m nobler than


    the others because of my close association with the Garrison n. It’ll be so embarrassing if I kneel


    before a lowly illegitimate son like him. So there’s no way I’m going to admit it.


    “You imed that there’s a bet between us. Do you have any proof of it?” she asked, continuing to


    insist that she had nothing to do with whatever bet the man was talking about.


    Only Levi and I were here yesterday, so I’m sure he has no proof.


    Levi burst into mockingughter.


    “You want proof? I have it.”


    He took his phone out and yed a recording of what Lyndsay had said yesterday.


    Her voice sounded from the phone speakers, and it was clear that she had indeed said she would


    kneel to Levi if he wasn’t dead.


    “You… You…”


    Never had she thought that he would have recorded their conversation.


    She wasn’t aware of the fact that Levi actually made a habit of keeping pieces of evidence whenever


    he was dealing with cunning people like her.


    “What else do you have to say? Kneel before me now,” he sneered at her.


    Lyndsay shot him a death stare and said, “So what if you have proof? The recording must be fake!


    Even if it’s real, I was only joking. How dare you ask me to kneel? Dream on! Never in your lifetime will


    you be qualified for me to kneel before you. It’ll be impossible for you to make me do such a thing!”


    Lyndsay continued to insist on leaving shamelessly.


    Levi scowled. Alright. I guess there’s only one way to handle a scoundrel like her.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 985


    The only way for me to get my point across would be me hitting her.


    p!


    Crisp and loud, a tight pnded on Lyndsay’s cheek.


    She was dumbstruck by the sudden blow he hadnded on her, so she stared at Levi in utter disbelief.


    “How dare you p me?”


    “I only did so because you refused to kneel before me.”


    p!


    Levi then gave her another p.


    Within seconds, the woman’s reddened face swelled up severely.


    “I’ll hit you once more if you don’t get on your knees.”


    p!


    “Are you going to kneel or not?”


    Just when he was about to p her for the fourth time, Lyndsay fell heavily to her knees with a thud in


    front of him, begging with a whimper, “I… I will kneel now… Don’t hit me anymore…”


    Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud…


    She knelt before Levi ten times.


    In the meantime, the employees of the Morris Group looked at the two with curiosity in their eyes.


    Even Zoey and Iris were watching the scene y out.


    “Iris, what’s going on? Why would the arrogant Lyndsay Granger kneel in front of Levi? This is


    unbelievable!” Zoey eximed.


    A secretary beside them agreed, “You’re right. Lyndsay is the vice president of Pinnacle Group. Why


    would she do this?”


    Iris only gave the woman an awkward smile without saying a word.


    Because he’s the omnipotent boss of Morris Group.


    Staring at the scene downstairs, Zoey was intrigued by Levi, the enigmatic man.


    He sure is a man of mystery.


    Levi stood at thepany’s entrance and shed Lyndsay half a smile. “You wouldn’t have gotten


    pped if you had just been honest and knelt before me.”


    The woman scuttled away hastily once she finished kneeling to him.


    Her eyes were full of hostility and resentment as she left in a hurry.


    Six years ago, he chased me out of North Hampton, and that moment was the biggest shame in my


    life. Now, he made me go through such terrible humiliation again.


    Her hatred toward him began to grow even stronger.


    “Just you wait, Levi Garrison. I won’t let you off the hook for this!” she growled at him through gritted


    teeth.


    However, Levi couldn’t care less about her and her threats. “You couldn’t stand against me six years


    ago, let alone now.”


    Lyndsay rushed over to ask Jayden about Levi, and thetter gave her a straightforward answer, telling


    her that she had no right to enquire about the matter.


    It waste at night when Levi reached home.


    He saw Emma oozing delight and excitement when he stepped into his house.


    “Mom, what made you so happy?” he asked.


    “Levi, your grandpa has asked me to head back to the Jones residence. He’s going to reinstate me as


    the daughter of the Jones family and rewrite my name on the family register in our family’s ancestral


    shrine,” his mother replied with much enthusiasm.


    The woman didn’t have many wishes. Returning to the Jones family was one of them.


    Nevertheless, Levi’s brows knitted together at his mother’s words.


    The Joneses never mentioned this before. Why do they want to reinstate Mom all of a sudden?


    He let out a snicker as a wave of realization hit him.


    This must be an order from the Garrison n. Michael must have thought the Garrison n has


    decided to let bygones be bygones and thinks that they’ve stopped going against mom and I. Little


    does he know that this is just a scheme of theirs. The Garrison n is trying to lure us out of here so


    that they can kill us on the way to the Jones residence or in South Hampton.


    Michael came to pick Emma up himself the next day.


    The father-and-daughter duo delightedly chatted for a while upon seeing each other.


    Emma asked inquisitively, “Dad, did the Garrison n really ask you to reinstate me as your daughter?


    Does this mean they won’t pursue the matter anymore?”


    Michael let out a lightugh while nodding his head. “That’s for sure. I believe they will stop holding you


    ountable. That’s why I’m allowing you toe back home.”


    She shed tears of joy at the news.


    “Finally, my son and I are safe. We can now live in peace.”


    Levi chose not to debunk the scheme too early. I’m okay with it as long as mom is happy.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 986


    “Mr. Garri… Levi, let’s head off then.”


    Thankfully, Michael reacted quickly enough not to address Levi wrongly.


    “Sure, let’s get moving.”


    Soon, arge convoy of the Jones family’s luxurious cars could be seen headed to South Hampton.


    This time, Michael had employed the most impressive homing etiquette because of the guilt he


    felt toward his daughter and Levi’s status.


    In the car, Emma could barely contain her eagerness to head home.


    The Garrison n has finally overlooked the grudges between us. Hence, I can now live a worry-free


    life with dignity.


    The moment the convoy of luxurious cars departed, Edward was notified right away.


    “Alright, we should get going too. It’s time to send Levi a great gift,” Edward said with a sneer.


    The Jones family’s cars soon crossed the border into South Hampton, heading toward the suburbs,


    where the Jones residence was located.


    Emma had fallen asleep on the way there.


    Gazing at the woman, Levi made a vow in his heart. Mom, I’ll protect your dream and hopes. There’s


    no way I’ll let the Garrison n harm us.


    On the other hand, Emma’s father was engrossed in his grand ns for his family.


    With his mother around, Levi had no choice but to ept this man as his grandpa.


    As a result, the future of the Jones family seemed secured.


    Bang!


    The convoy of cars screeched to a stop abruptly.


    “What’s going on?” Michael immediately shouted, demanding answers.


    A group of fighters dressed in ck appeared on both sides of the road with murderous looks on their


    faces.


    Michael got out of the car and saw a few familiar faces, including Edward’s.


    “Mr. Edward, what is the meaning of this?”


    The man was baffled by what he saw.


    “Hahaha! The God of War was present in the vicinity of Levi and his mom’s ce, so it was


    inconvenient for us to make any moves against the two. That’s why we lured them out. Thanks to you,


    we now have a golden opportunity to seize them.”


    Edward let out a sinisterugh.


    Only then did Michael realize that he had been fooled.


    I was wondering why the Garrison n chose to let go of the enmity out of the blue. They even allowed


    Emma to join the Jones family again. Turns out that it was just a scheme to lure Levi out to his death.


    Momentster, Emma got out of the car too, and she shuddered the second sheid eyes on Edward.


    I can never forget this man. After all, he’s Tyrone Garrison’s butler.


    “Ms. Jones, we meet again. It’s been thirty years,” Edward said with a smile.


    However, his tone soon turned vicious. “It’s a shame that I’ll have to bid farewell to you when we’ve just


    met.”


    Emma gave him a bitter smile. “Why can’t you guys let my son and I off?”


    “Hahaha… No way! You and that bastard don’t deserve to live! How can you not understand this even


    after thirty years?”


    Edwardughed out loud scornfully at her.


    “What about Tyrone? Can he really bear to kill me and his own flesh and blood?” the woman


    questioned exasperatedly.


    Edward only sniggered in response. “His own flesh and blood? Master Tyrone has only one son –


    Damien Garrison. Olivia Garcia is his only wife.”


    “Who are you two in the eyes of Master Tyrone? Does he even know you? Stop humiliating yourself!


    You’ll never be able to marry into the Garrison n!”


    Edward’s insults were like a sharp de that was stabbing Emma’s heart over and over again.


    The immense heartache made her feel as if her heart was bleeding.


    “You, together with that bastard you gave birth to, will vanish forever today! Master Tyrone will not be


    troubled anymore.”


    The man broke into a fit ofughter after speaking.


    “Do you mean we’re going to die?” Levi asked suddenly.


    “Are you the bastard?” Edward asked him in return, his eyes aze with anger.


    Levi sneered in an icy voice, “If my mom wasn’t beside me now, you would’ve been dead after you said


    such things.”


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 987


    He refused to show the violet and murderous side of him in front of his mother. Otherwise, these people


    would’ve been long dead.


    Emma stared intently at her son, and a pang of terror washed over her once she caught a glimpse of


    brutality in him.


    Levi’s words briefly stunned Edward and his men.


    “How arrogant! You actually think you can kill Mr. Edward? That’s ridiculous!”


    “How dare a bastard like you be so boastful? You’re digging your own grave!”


    Edward’s men retorted in anger.


    Unexpectedly, Edward grinned instead of growing mad. “That’s the difference between Mr. Damien and


    this bastard. Mr. Damien proves himself with his ability, but this bastard is all bark and no bite. The two


    of them are worlds apart.”


    Right then, Michael warned him coldly, “Mind yournguage, Edward! You despicable old coot.”


    Edward and his men could not believe what they had just heard from the head of the Joneses.


    “What? Michael, how dare you talk back to us? You sure have got a lot of nerve.”


    All this while, a mere servant like Caleb was sufficient to oppress the entire Jones family. Michael used


    to be too timid to utter a word in the presence of the Garrison n.


    But he had the guts to shout at Edward today.


    His behavior was totally uneptable in their eyes; they didn’t know that the man waspletely


    unafraid of them now.


    Michael smirked. Why should I be afraid when Levi is here?


    “Damn you, Michael! How dare you speak to me that way! Believe it or not, I can get rid of the entire


    Jones family with only a few words!” Edward shrieked in rage.


    Michael’s heart skipped a beat at the man’s threat.


    Caleb alone – not to mention Edward – had the capability to wipe out the Jones family.


    Such a feat was a piece of cake for them; they were way too powerful.


    “I don’t believe you! The Garrison n has always been haughty in Oand City, and now you’re


    behaving atrociously everywhere else! Do you really think no one is able to stand against you?”


    Michael refuted.


    “Are you really going to side with the bastard and his mom against our family?”


    Edward shot daggers at him.


    “Yes! So what if we go against you? We’re not afraid at all!” Mia, the head of the Joneses, suddenly


    dered.


    “Yes! No one can touch my daughter and grandson as long as I’m around. Not only will I protect them,


    but I’ll reinstate them. She’s my daughter and a part of the Jones family!” Michael bellowed firmly.


    Edward was enraged by his words. Wherever he went, everyone had revered; no one had dared to


    oppose the Garrison n.


    The Joneses were the first.


    They had actually outrightly challenged the majestic Garrison n.


    ording to the rules set by the Garrison n in Oand City, all the Joneses had to be ughtered


    for this act alone.


    “Fine! You and your family are out of your minds for wishing to go against the Garrison n. You lot


    indeed have balls of steel!” Edward growled.


    He then sneered, “Do you really want to protect the mother-and-son duo? How are you going to do


    that? Or does the Jones family have what it takes to save them? What a joke!”


    The man waved his hand, and dozens of fighters showed up instantly.


    He had brought these highly skilled fighters from the Garrison n along with him. Every one of them


    wasparable to Caleb.


    There was no way out for the Joneses today.


    “I’ll protect them even if it costs my life!”


    Michael went all out, not just for his family’s sake, but also for Levi to see his determination.


    “You can’t protect the Jones family!”


    Edward was merciless.


    “What if we join him?”


    A voice suddenly rang out.


    “Charge!”


    At the next second, countless figures emerged from the woods on both sides of the road.


    About a thousand of them appeared on each side – arge crowd forming behind and in front of them.


    The men surrounded the ce in no time.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 988


    Such a massive formation startled everyone, including Edward and his fighters.


    Never had they expected there to be so many men waiting in ambush.


    Despite their unparalleled capabilities, Edward and his fighters couldn’t help panicking on the inside.


    The Joneses were taken aback by such a sight, but they soon snapped back to their senses and were


    over the moon when they recognized the faces of some of those men.


    Among the crowd stood an old man – he was no one other than Xabian.


    Xabian stepped forward and bellowed, “Xabian Goel and the top hundred prominent families from


    South Hampton are here to wee Ms. Jones.”


    The rest of the men gathered around him followed his lead and shouted, “Wee home, Ms. Jones!”


    Their deafening voices shook everyone present to the core.


    Meanwhile, Emma gaped at them in astonishment and disbelief.


    What’s going on here?


    Xabian cast a nce at Michael. “What are you waiting for? Take Ms. Jones home now.”


    Snapping out of his trance, Michael nced at Edward, hinting to Xabian that thetter and his fighters


    were still in his way.


    Squinting his eyes slightly, Xabian said in a cold voice, “Who dares stand in the way of the top hundred


    prominent families from South Hampton?”


    “Yes! Who dares stop us from weing them home?” the others followed and yelled.


    This is ridiculous!


    Fury spiked within Edward at the sight of the huge crowd.


    I thought the Joneses were the only ones who had the audacity to resist the Garrison n. But now,


    even the top hundred prominent families from South Hampton are on Emma’s side. Are they trying to


    challenge our authority?


    “Hold on. Don’t you dare leave!”


    With a dignified expression, Edward scanned through Xabian and his men. “The Garrison n


    demands Emma Jones’ and her son’s lives to be taken. Do you understand?”


    “Leave now! No outsider is allowed to meddle in this matter, especially peasants like you,” someone


    from the Garrison n reprimanded.


    Hearing that, Xabian chuckled. “Firstly, South Hampton is our territory. Secondly, Ms. Jones is under


    our protection, so one shall touch her.”


    “That’s right! None of you can oppress us in our territory!”


    “Michael, take them away! I’ll see who dares to stop you from leaving. We don’t go around stirring up


    trouble, but we’re not cowards. We’ll go all out to fight against anyone who provokes us!”


    Xabian was adamant in his decision, undaunted by the fighters that were ring his way.


    The attitude of the top hundred prominent families enraged the members of the Garrison n.


    Since when does the Garrison n from Oand City have no authority here? Are these people mad?


    How dare they resist us and meddle in our affairs?


    “Xabian, have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to poke your nose into the Garrison


    n’s affairs?” Edward scowled.


    “Yes, I’m sure. Whoeverys a hand on Ms. Jones and Mr. Garrison will be considered our enemy.


    We’ll fight with all we have even if we’re no match for you! So what if you’re members of the Garrison


    n? We’re not afraid of you! We’ll not let you off since you’re causing havoc in our territory.”


    Xabian squared them up, showing the resolution of the prominent families to war to the knife.


    Edward was now smoldering with rage.


    There’s surely a bunch of lunatics if they’re crazy enough to cross the Garrison n!


    The Jones family’s cars began on their journey once again, ignoring Edward and his fighters, who were


    bottling up their wrath while watching them leave.


    The fighters clutched their weapons tightly, prepared to pounce on and kill Levi and his mom on


    Edward’smand.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    The entire ce was in pin-drop silence; everyone’s racing heartbeats were almost audible.


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 989


    A fight was about to break out as the tense atmosphere enveloped every one of them.


    If the Garrison n made the first move, the top hundred prominent families would not back down,


    even if such actions would cost them their lives.


    The Garrison n fighters were still waiting for Edward’smand.


    However, the man didn’t utter a word even after the Jones family’s cars disappeared out of their sight.


    What’s happening? Has Mr. Edward given up? Are we not going to kill them?


    The fighters were baffled.


    Why should the Garrison n fear these men from South Hampton? Back then, even Caleb could


    handle them single-handedly.


    Staring at Edward, Xabian said, “Give it a try. I don’t mind sacrificing my life fighting against you.”


    All the men on Xabian’s side red at the fighters, ready for a fight to the death.


    In the end, Edward didn’t give the killingmand, allowing the Jones family’s cars to drive away.


    “Retreat!” Xabian instructed, and the top hundred prominent families left in unison.


    Soon, only Edward and his fighters were left standing there.


    “Mr. Edward, why didn’t you give us themand to kill them?”


    Puzzled, his men questioned him.


    Edward heaved a sigh. “I don’t understand why the top hundred prominent families stood up for Emma.


    What makes them so determined to do so? They didn’t relent, even after we warned them.”


    The others couldn’t understand why that had happened either. “We have nothing to fear, Mr. Edward.


    They only had a few thousand men. It wasn’t a threat to us at all.”


    “Yes, I’m aware of that. But if we chose to start a fight, both of us would’ve gotten hurt badly. After all,


    there are only dozens of men with us now. They outnumbered us greatly. Besides, the news will get


    about if we make a big deal out of this.” Edward analyzed the situation and broke it down for the


    fighters to understand.


    “You’re right. If we pushed them over the edge, they might tell the whole Erudia about our deeds.”


    “But are we just going to endure their disrespect?”


    Edward sneered, “What else can we do? Kill them? Do you think that is possible? Let’s head back first.


    We need to strategize our next move.”


    This time, the Garrison n had lost miserably.


    We could’ve killed them without breaking a sweat, but the prominent families from South Hampton


    saved them. Something is not right. Back then, Caleb alone could oppress the entire South Hampton,


    but the people are now willing to risk their lives to protect the mother-and-son duo. There must be


    something fishy going on.


    Meanwhile, the Jones family’s cars had arrived at the Jones residence.


    Emma was still in a state of bewilderment.


    Why did the prominent families in South Hampton protect me? They even had the nerve to go against


    the Garrison n.


    Before she could piece the pieces together, she found herself in front of the ancestral shrine.


    There was a set ofplicated procedures to go through in ordance with the familyw.


    Nevertheless, Michael couldn’t wait any longer to write his daughter’s name on the family register.


    He couldn’t help shooting a few nces at Levi.


    However, thetter simply stroked Mia’s head and said, “Make it simple.”


    Mia nodded in agreement. “Right, let’s make it simple.”


    After getting approval from both Levi and the head of the family, Michael simplified the procedures.


    Before thest step of the reinstatement, Emma called out to Michael, causing everyone to turn and


    look at her with perplexed expressions.


    “Father, are you sure about reinstating me?” she asked.


    “Yes, I’m positive.”


    Her father nodded firmly.


    “But the Garrison n has yet to agree to this. If you do it, you’re going against them, and they’ll


    certainly ce the me on us. Aren’t you or the Joneses scared?” she asked.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve already thought it through. How can I let my daughter and grandchild be orphaned


    and homeless? I’ll fight against the Garrison n if they ever me us. I’ll do whatever it takes to


    reinstate you.”


    Levi nodded in agreement. “Why should we be afraid of the Garrison n?”


    The Return of the God of War Chapter 990


    Hearing Levi’sforting words, Michael felt assured that he was making the right decision.


    Whatever happens, he’ll be here to back us up.


    “I’m going to reinstate Emma Jones as a part of the Jones family in front of our ancestors today…”


    Soon, the rituals ended, and Emma’s name was on the family register once again.


    The woman had been waiting for this day for way too long.


    Tears of joy escaped her eyes once the ritual waspleted.


    I thought my life was over. But much to my surprise, I reunited with my son and was reinstated as a


    part of the Jones family. I’ll be happy even if I die now. Yet, my biggest wish is to dere in front of the


    Garrison n that my son isn’t a bastard, but a supreme ruler, whom all of you must look up to.


    However, that’s out of the question, as the Garrison n is too powerful. No matter howpetent Levi


    is, his thirty years of aplishments are nothingpared to the Garrison n, which has built a


    strong foundation over a few thousand years.


    After Emma’s reinstatement, the Joneses from all over Erudia called to congratte her.


    Emma felt as if she was dreaming.


    When she used to get into trouble, all the other extended families, other than the Jones family in South


    Hampton, shunned and cut ties with her right away.


    Why are they congratting me this time? I don’t get it. From Elder Goel’s attitude to the prominent


    families’ actions, everything just seems so odd.


    Never had she thought that things had turned out this way because of her son.


    At night, Emma finally had a reunion dinner with her family after thirty long years.


    Meanwhile, Edward and his men were still lingering somewhere in South Hampton.


    They dared not go back without killing Levi and his mother.


    Damien would probably end their lives if they headed back empty-handed and bearing no good news.


    “We can’t find out why Xabian did such a thing even after knowing that it’s the Garrison n’s affair.”


    After hours of searching, Edward and his men had managed to find nothing, not even one clue.


    “Could it be because of Levi? That man seems mysterious to me.”


    Someone voiced out their suspicion.


    “Levi? You think that’s actually possible? I won’t need to kill him if he has the authority tomand the


    top hundred prominent families in South Hampton. If that’s truly the case, Master Tyrone will bring him


    home,” Edward refuted coldly.


    “That’s true. The bastard can’t be that powerful.”


    Everyone nodded.


    Just then, a call from Damien came.


    “Edward, how’s everything going? Is it settled? Three days should have been more than enough for


    you to carry out your task.”


    The man’s rough voice sounded on the other side of the phone.


    “Mr. Damien, I…”


    Edward was silent for fear of angering Tyrone’s son.


    “You’ve got to be kidding me. Haven’t you killed that bastard?”


    Edward shuddered at his voice.


    “Mr. Damien, please allow me to exin…”


    “No! I don’t want any excuses from you! How is it that you haven’t killed him? You worthless piece of


    shit!”


    His reprimand sent shivers down Edward’s spine.


    The man knew Damien’s way of doing things better than anyone else. Thetter was a vicious and


    ruthless psycho who could take someone’s life without so much as batting an eye.


    Imagining the consequences scared the daylights out of Edward.


    “Mr. Damien, there’s been a change in the situation. Perhaps we should rethink the decision of killing


    Levi,” he suggested carefully.


    “What? Why can’t we kill that bastard? Are you out of your mind?” Damien roared.


    “Mr. Damien, something happened when…”


    “Do you want me to kill that bastard myself?”


    “No, Mr. Damien. You shouldn’t need to handle such a small matter yourself.”


    “Small matter? It’s been three days, but that bastard’s still alive! And yet, here you are, telling me that


    it’s a small matter?”


    Damien then paused briefly, curious. “Is that bastard really that strong and tenacious? Is it really so


    hard to kill him?”
