At that moment, Levi kicked the gates open and strode into the villa.
He was greeted by the sight of up to a thousand of Damien’s men, who stared virtual-novel.net down with murderous intent.
“Take virtual-novel.net down!”
There was a buzz as the men started running towards virtual-novel.net immediately. However, a slow drawl interrupted their progress.
“Slow down! Let virtual-novel.net take his time,” Damien said from inside the meeting room.
Upon hearing Damien’s orders, the warriors moved aside and opened up a narrow path for Levi to walk across to the front door. They continued to watch virtual-novel.net closely as virtual-novel.net stepped into the house.
Levi noticed those men were top-class warriors.
The Garrison family really hires and trains the best of the best.
Very quickly, Levi found his way through the corridors and arrived at the meeting room. When virtual-novel.net spotted Dexter hanging upside down from ceiling, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
Damien is too cruel.
Levi turned livid when virtual-novel.net noted the pool of blood on the floor below Dexter.
Damien burst into laughter. “Levi, this is the man you owe your life to! If it hadn’t been for him, you would have died in the wilderness a few hours after you were born.”
By then, Dexter was already one foot in the grave. When virtual-novel.net spotted Levi, virtual-novel.net only had the breath to croak, “Master—Master Levi…”
“Dexter…”
Levi took a deep breath.
How could they treat the man virtual-novel.net owed his life to in this inhumane way?
Coldly, Levi ordered, “Damien, remove virtual-novel.net from the ceiling and set virtual-novel.net down on the floor immediately!”
Damien burst into laughter again. “You want me to set virtual-novel.net down? Sure! But that’ll depend on whether you have the ability to make me do it.”
Summoning the remaining energy in his body, Dexter whispered, “Master Levi, leave…leave quickly… It’s a trap…”
“Don’t worry. I must save you today! When I was a child, you saved my life once. Today, you risked your life for my sake again! I must save you.”
With that, Levi started walking towards Damien.
Suddenly, a large boom sounded across the entire room.
The meeting room, which had been empty of other people until now, was now a crowded place. Men stood shoulder to shoulder, filling the room from corner to corner. All of them were top-class warriors and there were at least a few hundred of them.
Everyone gazed at Levi, looking prepared to kill virtual-novel.net if need be.
Instantly, the door of the meeting room was locked.
Even if Levi miraculously grew wings that very moment, it would be impossible for virtual-novel.net to escape now.
Damien cackled with glee.
Now, Levi will die and his corpse won’t even be intact!
They are almost at their inevitable end. In a few minutes, both Levi and Dexter will be dead.
Damien had already thought everything through.
After virtual-novel.net killed both of them, virtual-novel.net would announce to the public that Levi had murdered the butler of the Garrison family, Dexter. As far as the public was concerned, Damien had killed Levi in retaliation.
This was a perfectly reasonable excuse.
Although everyone would know it was a set-up, nobody would be able to dispute his narrative.
Meanwhile, Emma had dashed back into virtual-novel.net room and dialed a telephone number virtual-novel.net had saved at the very back of virtual-novel.net mind a long time ago.
“Come on, pick up! Come on! If you don’t pick up now, Levi is going to be in huge trouble,” Emma muttered anxiously to herself.
Finally, the person on the other end picked up the phone. “Who—who is this?”
“It’s me, Emma Jones!”
After Emma revealed virtual-novel.net identity, the other party remained silent for a long while. She could sense that they were holding their breath.
Emma jumped straight into the topic and stated virtual-novel.net reason for calling. “Mr. Tyrone Garrison, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I just have one request!”
She was afraid that if they dragged this out, Levi would be dead.
“What is it?”
“I hope you’ll let my son go! Just this time, I promise! As long as you let go of my son this once, both my son and I will never have anything to do with the Garrison family again! You know I’m a person of my word! I’ll keep my promise!” Emma pleaded desperately.
“I don’t call the shots on this matter. Nobody asked virtual-novel.net to be so reckless. He deserves this for trying to go up against the Garrison clan!” Tyrone replied icily.
“He’s young and doesn’t know the ways of the world yet. Please just let virtual-novel.net go this time! Just this time! I’ve never asked you for anything before, but please let my son off this time! I can even die in his place!”
“Please, I beg of you…I’ll even kneel before you…”
Emma was crying so hard that virtual-novel.net face was practically soaked with tears.
