The Return of God of War Chapter 491 âDonât push your luck, Garrison!â Maurice roared.
Levi merely raised his voice. âGo. Slap him in the face!â
Zane broodingly walked toward Maurice.
Maurice was filled with rage.
How am I going to hold my head up high after being slapped by a security guard!?
Shawn and Steve held onto Maurice while giving him glances, signaling him not to move.
âHit him!â Levi ordered.
With that, Zane violently slapped Maurice across the face.
In an instant, Mauriceâs head spun as his vision blurred, and half of his face turned numb.
The sensation was quickly followed by pain. It felt as though he was being pricked by needles continuously.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The huge celebrity, Maurice Lorraine, had just been struck by a security guard.
Maurice glared at Zane and Levi ferociously, as though he wanted to eat them alive.
What a disgrace.
This is way too humiliating!
Levi asked coldly, âDo you accept what just happened?â
âI-I do. I hit him with my money and he slapped me in the face. Itâs a fair trade!â Maurice replied while clenching his teeth.
âAlright, so what do you guys want?â Levi asked. âHavenât you quit already? Why are you here again?â
Shawn quickly explained, âWe have something important to discuss with Ms. Lopez, Mr. Garrison.
Please let us in!â
âAnd what is it about?â
âWeâll talk about it when we see Ms. Lopez,â Shawn answered with a smile. âItâs something that will benefit the company!â
Levi returned a smile. âIâm sure you know how busy Ms. Lopez is. Not any Tom, Dick and Harry gets to meet her. You should leave.â
âWhat are you talking about, Garrison? I just got slapped and youâre chasing us away now? Who the hell do you think you are?â
Maurice just about had it.
âHeâs right, Mr. Garrison. Be reasonable!â Shawn chimed in. âWe stopped picking on the security guards out of respect for you. Shouldnât you show us some respect too?â
In other words, they had apologized not because they knew they were wrong; they only did it to make Levi happy.
Levi was furious. âWho the hell do you think you are? Why should I show you any respect?â
Maurice had lost all his patience. âAnd who the hell do you think you are, Garrison? Youâre just a nobody if you werenât Ms. Lopezâs husband.â
Slap!
Levi sent two of Mauriceâs teeth flying with just one slap across the face.
A bright red handprint immediately appeared on the latterâs cheek.
Maurice was completely taken aback.
Just one slap was almost enough to kill him.
âYou dare hit me, Levi Garrison?â
Maurice was so livid that he could kill someone.
âWhatâs wrong with that? A foul mouth deserves a slap, no?â Levi asked.
âI dare you to hit me again!â Maurice roared.
Levi was amused.
âGuys, have you ever seen someone ask to be hit?â
âHahahah!â
The security guards burst into laughter.
Levi instantly delivered another slap across Mauriceâs face.
The left side of Mauriceâs face instantly swelled up and the slap marks looked especially distinct.
The man was utterly floored.
Everyone else couldnât believe their eyes.
âYouâre the one who told me to hit you,â Levi said with a grin. âI was just granting your wish.â
âMaurice Lorraine is being attacked! Come and watch!â
âHurry over and witness this! Someoneâs attacking the superstar, Maurice Lorraine!â
âIsnât there anyone here who stands with justice!?â
Trisha Sullivan and Wilford Boyd suddenly began to cry out.
Passersby swarmed over upon hearing it was Maurice Lorraine and glared at Levi.
âHow dare you attack my idol? Someone call the cops!â
The Return of God of War Chapter 492 Over a hundred people showed up in a blink of an eye.
Everyone immediately assumed Maurice was the victim after seeing the piteous state he was in.
They began to confront Levi.
At this very moment, Zoey walked outside.
âWhatâs going on?â
âWe wanted to talk to you, Ms. Lopez, but your husband kept stopping us and he even attacked Maurice! Your security guard also slapped Maurice in the face.â
Shifting the blame onto the innocent now, huh?
Zoey smiled. âAnd?â
âYou know what could happen, Ms. Lopez,â said Shawn. âYour husbandâs going to be in a world of trouble if word gets out. He had struck a celebrity, for Godâs sake! He might even end up in jail!â
âWhat should I do then?â Zoey asked.
âTo be completely honest with you, Ms. Lopez, weâve been tricked into signing a slave contract with Triple Group. We want to leave, but thereâs a huge penalty to payâ¦â
Shawn trailed off.
Zoey chuckled. âSo youâre saying you want me to pay for the penalty and buy you guys over?â
The entire group nodded fervently. âThatâs right, Ms. Lopez! We did some calculations. All the penalties add up to exactly two billion. Itâs actually not a lot! Think about it; wouldnât it be a breeze to gain back the two billion if you had such a great team like us and a brilliant actor like Maurice?â
âHeâs right! I believe weâll be able to earn you two billion in just a year!â
They were full of confidence thanks to the two films that had been released.
Maurice walked over to Zoey while covering his face. âThe company is now in chaos after we left, isnât it, Ms. Lopez?â he said with a smile. âWithout us, itâd be tough for you to form a new team so quickly.
Iâm presenting you with an opportunity right now; weâll come back if you agree to pay for our penalties.
With us back, weâll bring your company profits beyond your imagination! Not only that, but Iâll also even let go of the fact that your husband attacked me.â
Maurice was full of conceit.
They had originally come over to beg Zoey for help, but now he made it seem like Zoey was the one having to do the pleading.
Trisha and Wilford chimed in, âItâs a win-win situation. Weâre giving you a chance. The only question now is, are you going to take it?â
Gerry Wade and the others wanted to throw up upon hearing that.
Youâre the ones whoâd racked your brains trying to find a way to come back, but now youâre talking about giving Ms. Lopez a chance?
Could you all be any more shameless?
Everyoneâs eyes were on Zoey, waiting for her answer.
To Maurice and the group, Zoey would definitely agree to their proposal.
It wasnât just because Oriental Star Group couldnât do without them.
She also had to say yes for Leviâs sake.
âI refuse! Youâre no longer part of my firm, so your problems have nothing to do with me. Besides, we have a rule of not working with traitors. Have a good day!â
With that, Zoey turned and walked away.
Job well done!
Levi nodded in approval.
Zoey had changed rather drastically throughout this period.
She was now much firmer in terms of her work and personality.
âWhat? Did she just turned us down?â
Maurice and the rest of them were flabbergasted.
Shawn was filled with disbelief.
âDo you not care if your husbandâs fate, Zoey Lopez!?â Maurice yelled. âJust you wait and see how Iâm going to make your husband suffer!â
Shawn and Steve quickly stopped him. âDonât do anything rash, Maurice! Remember what weâre here for!â
âYeah! We should behave ourselves. Weâre here to ask for Ms. Lopezâs help, not to threaten her!â said the others.
The Return of God of War Chapter 493 Maurice glanced at Levi, who was standing nearby, and said, âThen weâll give it another try. If she turns us down again, Iâm going to send Levi Garrison behind bars!â
Levi calmly took out his phone and dialed a number. âItâs about time to destroy Maurice Lorraine.â
âHahahaha!â
The people next to Maurice burst into laughter when they heard Leviâs words.
Is he an idiot?
Does he really think he can ruin a celebrity with just a phone call?
Whoâs he trying to kid?
Maurice glared at Levi coldly and smirked. âIâd like to see how you plan to do that.â
Very quickly, all the major media outlets fought to report the following news: Famous celeb Maurice Lorrainâs private life exposed, spotted sharing hotel room with two women.
Horace Waller had arranged for someone to secretly follow Maurice that very night.
Pictures and videos of the incident immediately surfaced.
Netizens were in complete shock.
Mauriceâs dark past surfaced as quickly as he shot to fame.
Another heavyweight news article made headlines: Maurice Lorraine dumped girlfriend of seven years, was abusive and made her sign an agreement to keep relationship secret.
â¦
More scandals began to surface, such as news of Maurice fooling around with multiple women at nightclubs.
The media outlets also released articles clarifying that Maurice was once taken in by Oriental Star Group while job hunting; the company had offered him a contract worth five hundred thousand.
Everyone now understood Mauriceâs true character.
âSo he betrayed Oriental after everything theyâve done for him? Despicable.â
âWhat an ingrate. He dumped his girlfriend after becoming famous and bit the hand that fed him!â
âI wondered why this guy kept trying to make Oriental look bad. Now I get it.â
â¦
The Internet was now filled with comments antagonizing Maurice.
The manâs reputation as a celebrity instantly hit rock bottom.
Itâs over.
Itâs all over.
Maurice was completely dumbstruck once he found out what just happened.
âHow could this happen!?â he looked up and yelled at the top of his lungs.
His phone rang at the same time. It was the banks calling to tell him that all of his accounts had been frozen.
This was also Horace Wallerâs doing.
Maurice Lorraine was completely finished.
The only choice he had left now was to serve Triple Group as a slave for the rest of his life.
Levi walked over with a smile. âItâs as easy to tear you down as it is to raise you up.â
Thump!
Maurice flopped to the ground and stared at Levi in disbelief.
He really did it with one phone call.
For the very first time, Shawn and the others realized how frightening Levi was.
This is too much.
âWeâre sorry, Mr. Garrison.â
Shawn, Steve and the rest of the group knelt on the ground.
âWe promise to serve Oriental Star Group for the rest of our lives if you and Ms. Lopez redeem us, Mr.
Garrison.â
They bowed with their heads directly touching the floor.
Levi scoffed. âDidnât you hear what my wife said? She never works with traitors.â
Boom!
Leviâs response struck them like lightning.
Their lives were over.
Taking care of Maurice indirectly restored Oriental Star Group to its glory.
Levi returned to Morris Group.
âWhere have you been, Mr. Garrison? Youâve been away for so long!â Seth Wilson and the other security guards greeted him with a smile.
Iris Annabelle happened to spot Levi at the same time. âWhereâd you disappear to? You didnât even ask for a leave of absence.â
Iris looked rather upset, as though something had happened.
Levi asked immediately, âIs something wrong?â
Iris hesitated for a moment before nodding. âYeah.â
The Return of God of War Chapter 494 âWhat happened?â Levi asked.
Iris rubbed her temples. âDidnât the big boss tell us to organize a one billion charity program recently?
We built the Hope Elementary School, Old Folkâs Home and Orphanage. We funded many poor students too. Yet, after pumping in our money and doing all this, someone else ended up taking all the credit.â
Levi was stunned.
How could such a thing happen?
Someone actually made an issue out of charity money?
He frowned. âWho did it? They sure have some nerve.â
âIt was Triple Group! They organized that one billion charity gala two nights ago and not a single cent came out of their own pockets. They took the money we contributed for the charity program and made it theirs. All the charity certificates, documents and processes ended up becoming theirs!â
Iris was utterly furious.
And so was Levi. âSo we paid for the charity event but they get all the credit!? And now everyone thinks that Triple Group is the one being charitable and that it has nothing to do with us?â
âExactly! Triple Group is getting so much positive feedback from it. All the students and old people weâve helped are sending them appreciation banners. The school, orphanage and old folksâ home are now hanging posters on the wall, thanking Triple Group for their kindness. Nobody knows that weâre the ones who actually came up with the money! Most importantly, we asked the Charity Association why this was happening, but they refused to acknowledge our contributions. They said everything about the charity program was done by Triple!â
The woman fumed in anger.
Bang!
Levi landed a fist on the wall.
Iris jumped in fright.
âThis is unacceptable! Theyâre even trying to interfere with a charity program. How shameless can they be?â Levi raged.
The fact that Triple Group could do all this had to be because everything was agreed upon with the Charity Association.
âThatâs not all. I know that Tripleâs general managerâs been involved with a few 14-year-old girls! Urgh!
How I want that scumbag gone!â Iris added.
A cold look flashed in Leviâs eyes. âNow that heâs pissed me off, Iâm going to make him pay.â
Iris glanced at the manâs stance.
Does he think heâs some boss?
âIâm about to personally head over to the Charity Association and find out whatâs going on.â
The more she thought about this, the more exasperated she felt.
âOkay. Iâll come with you,â Levi responded.
They soon arrived at the North Hampton Charity Association building.
âHello, do you have an appointment?â
âYes. Itâs under Iris Anabelle of Morris Group.â
Aware of Irisâ status, the Charity Association assigned a high-ranking director, Jon Harvey, to attend to her.
âHello, Ms. Anabelle. How may I help you?â Jon asked with a smile.
Iris got straight to the point. âIâm here for just one thing today, and that is to look into the donations made by Morris Group for the charity program!â
âOh? Has Morris Group contributed to the program recently?â Jon asked, perplexed.
Levi chuckled.
Theyâre all playing dumb.
Iris suppressed her anger and remarked coldly, âMorris Group has made a one-billion contribution to your association eight days ago. How could you, as a director, not know about this?â
Jon Harvey merely smiled. âSorry about that, Ms. Anabelle. Iâve been abroad for a while so I really have no idea about this. Give me a moment to look into this matter.â
The Return of God of War Chapter 495 After making a phone call, Jon turned to them. âHave you perhaps been mistaken, Ms. Anabelle?â he asked with a smile on his face. âThe only one-billion donation weâve received is from Triple Group.
There are no records of any contributions made by your company.â
âWhat theâwhat on earth are you talking about? That one billion came from Morris Group, but you wrote it off as Tripleâs? What the hell is going on?â
Iris was so livid that she nearly cussed.
âPlease calm down, Ms. Anabelle. We really have no records of any donation youâve made.â Jon replied with a pretentious smile.
âThen tell me what this is!â
Iris slammed some documents of the donation made in front of Jon, along with the companyâs proof of having set up the charity program.
Jon went through the documents and said in confusion. âThis canât be. How could these records be exactly the same as Triple Groupâs? Even the charity program is completely identical! You wrote your own companyâs name over Tripleâs, didnât you, Ms. Anabelle?â
Iris was about to go insane.
How shameless can they be?
Now theyâre making it seem like weâre the guilty ones.
âBesides, Triple Group really did host the charity gala recently and donated one billion during the conference. It was their money; what does it have to do with Morris Group? Even Iâm starting to wonder if youâre harboring any ill intentions, Ms. Anabelle.â
Jon appeared confident that the money belonged to Triple Group.
âHah! Well then, since we have all the bank transaction records, how about we use them to find out who donated the money?â Iris suggested with a smirk. âLetâs head to the bank right away, Mr. Harvey.
Then we can make some comparisons with your finance department.â
Jonâs expression took a turn at the mention of the bank.
He began to ask, âBefore that, may I ask why you donated the money in the first place, Ms. Anabelle?â
âTo help people in need, of course,â Iris answered.
âThatâs right. The purpose of the Charity Association is to help others, and since weâve achieved this goal, does it really matter who was the one who helped?â
The man proceeded to poison the well in an attempt to make Iris look bad. âDonât people show acts of kindness in anonymity nowadays? Are you donating money just for the fame, or for an award or certificate? Iâm really starting to question your motives now, Ms. Anabelle! Since itâs all about charity, does anything else matter as long as our goals are met? So what if the money came from Morris Group? If you insist on taking the credit that much, fine! Iâll send you a pile of certificates.â
âYouâ¦â
Iris felt rage flowed through her like lava.
Yes, the goals have been met.
We donât care about the fame either.
But thereâs no way Iâd allow Triple Group to take the credit!
Clap, clap, clap.
Levi couldnât help but clap his hands.
âYou sure have a way with words! Claiming the moral high ground now, are you?â Levi said, smirking.
Jon scoffed, âWhat do you mean by claiming the moral high ground? This is how charity has always been; if everyone only contributes for the fame, theyâre better off not contributing at all. Honestly, it doesnât really matter who donated!â
Levi raised his voice. âDoes that mean you can write someone elseâs donation off as Triple Groupâs?
Who gave you the right to do that?â
âIââ
Jon wanted to say more, but Levi cut him off. âIf the credit doesnât matter, why does Triple Group need it then? They announced the news everywhere and even hosted a charity gala.â
âThatâs not the same. Triple Group needs the credit!â Jon replied with a smile.
The Return of God of War Chapter 496 âSo Morris Group doesnât need it, but Triple Group does? Such double standards,â Levi scoffed.
âTripleââ
Levi cut Jon off again. âI want to know who gave you the right to write Morris Groupâs contribution off as Triple Groupâs. Thatâs some serious power right there, changing a one-billion project just like that.â
Levi arrived at the root of the problem with his sharp words.
Jon was overwhelmed.
âWho is this man, Ms. Anabelle? Are you both here just to stir up some ruckus? So you want to look into the internal affairs of the Charity Association that badly?â he raged.
âSure. Why donât we investigate?â Levi replied coldly.
âGet them out of here!â
Jon wasnât having it anymore and immediately ordered someone to take them away.
But Levi persisted. âNo! I have to find out exactly whatâs going on! How did Morrisâ charity program end up becoming Tripleâs?â
Jon was beyond livid. âSo what if I donât admit it was Morrisâ? What can you do about that, even if I say itâs been written off as Tripleâs?â
Leviâs lips curled into a profound smile. âFine. Donât regret it then!â
âMe? Regret? Hah! Iâm going to say this one more time. Triple Groupâs the one who donated the money and it has nothing to do with you! Send them out!â
Iris and Levi left the building. âYou see that? I canât believe thatâs how the Charity Association behaves!â
Iris lamented with a wave of her hand. âI have to go back and ask Mr. Atkinson what to do. We canât just leave things this way.â
The two returned to Morris Group.
Levi headed to his own office and contacted his secretary, Aurora Newt.
âAurora, whoâs the person in charge of the North Hampton Charity Association?â he asked.
âThe president is Mr. Sanford Collins, Sir.â
âAlright. Tell him to come over. I have something to discuss with him.â
Levi sounded as cold as frost.
It didnât take long for Sanford Collins to arrive at Morris Group with several other high-ranking associates.
The five of them stood inside the office with their heads lowered and covered in cold sweat.
They didnât even dare to wipe at their foreheads.
The man sitting before them was way too intimidating.
Heâs not just the deputy of North Hampton, heâs the God of War!
How did Scott Yates die?
It was thanks to this man!
And why has Triple Group suddenly appeared out of nowhere to do whatever they please in Quebec?
Itâs mainly because Scott Yates, the man who had been keeping a tight rein on Triple Group, is no more.
This is the man who had single-handedly gotten rid of Scott Yates!
âDo you know why Iâve called you over?â asked Levi.
Sanford Collins and his men exchanged glances before shaking their heads. âNo we donât, Mr.
Garrison.â
âYou donât? Then do you know where you are right now?â
Levi tapped his desk with his knuckles.
âWeâre inside Morris Group. Ah! Is this perhaps about Morris Groupâs charity program?â
Being the smart man that he was, Sanford quickly grasped the situation.
âSo, you do know why youâre here,â Levi said coldly.
âTell me whatâs going on,â he said with a smirk. âHow did the money Morris Group donated for the program end up as Triple Groupâs?â
Suddenly, his expression took a sharp turn. âI was just at the Charity Association to ask about this, but they insisted the money came from Triple and even chased me out of the building!â
Boom!
Leviâs words struck them like lightning, instantly petrifying them.
Thump!
Sanford lost his balance and staggered to the floor.
Seriously?
This man got kicked out of the Charity Association?
Who had such nerve to do that?
The Return of God of War Chapter 497 This is blasphemy!
Itâs over.
The shitâs about to hit the fan now.
Sanford breathed deeply and said, âWe had no idea such a thing happened, Mr. Garrison.â
Levi tapped on his desk again. âThatâs the second issue. Letâs talk about the first. If I donât get a good answer from you, Iâm going to start looking into it on my own!â
The men nearly coughed blood out of fear.
Look into it on his own?
Jesse Nielsenâs going to ruin us before that happens.
âIâll talk! Iâll tell you everything!â
Sanford jumped in and explained himself clearly.
âIt was the general manager of Triple Group from Erudia, Horace Waller, who came looking for me. He told me to put Morris Groupâs one-billion donation under Triple Group for the charity program! I did it only because he promised to donate two billion to North Hampton in the future!â
Levi smirked. âHe promised to donate two billion? Did you sign an agreement with him?â
âNo. It was a verbal agreement,â Sanford answered. âBut heâs the general manager of Triple Group, so I believe heâs a man of his word.â
Bang!
Levi slammed his hand onto the desk.
Sanford and his team nearly wet themselves.
âSo youâd believe whatever people tell you? Are you a f*cking elementary school student!?â he roared.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Garrison. I was wrong. I shouldnât have believed him!â
Sanford immediately got down on his knees.
âLetâs go! Weâre going to check the Charity Associationâs records!â Levi demanded.
Sanford immediately agreed. âUnderstood, Sir. Weâll head over at once!â
Iris saw Levi bringing a group of men over to her just as she hung up a call with Kirin.
Sanford said to her, âHello, Ms. Anabelle. Allow me to introduce myself. Iâm Sanford Collins, president of the Charity Association. Iâm here to apologize and request you to come with us to the Association to settle some matters.â
Iris was dumbfounded.
I just called Mr. Atkinson half an hour ago to ask for help, and the president of the Charity Association is here apologizing to me already?
Just how powerful is this mysterious boss?
Incredible!
Iris admired this unknown man so much that she was now thinking of him as a lover.
Everyone quickly headed toward the Charity Association once again.
âGet Jon Harvey to attend to me!â Levi ordered the front desk receptionist.
It didnât take long for Jon to angrily show up with a group of bodyguards.
âWhat? Must you insist on causing trouble, Morris Group? I kicked you out just a while ago!â Jon raged.
Levi scoffed. âWhatâs this? Is this how you attend to a guest?â
âWho the f*ck do you think you are that I have to attend to you? You wanna die?â Jon bellowed at him.
âWhatâs your problem? Why are you acting like such a tyrant?â Iris argued. âAm I not allowed to check your accounts? My company gave you a one-billion donation, for crying out loud!â
âNo!â Jon turned her down right away. âFrom now on, no one from Morris Group gets to step into this building. We wonât accept your donations either!â
âWhat a bold statement. You must think youâre so formidable,â Iris remarked.
âThatâs right,â the other directors began to speak out. âWeâre the ones who have the final say in North Hamptonâs charity industry! If you have a problem with that, thatâs too bad!â
Levi shook his head in frustration as he glanced at these men.
So this is how the Charity Association normally behaves.
And it looks like these directors really gain a lot from their work.
With one glance, Levi easily noticed that quite a few of these men wore luxury watches that was worth millions.
âHow dare you!â
An explosive roar erupted in the lobby.
It was Sanford Collins, president of the Charity Association.
The Return of God of War Chapter 498 âYou f*ckingâitâs you, Mr. Collins?â
Jon immediately paled in fright as he gazed at the group of men in disbelief.
âMr. Jung? Mr. Yeager? What are you all doing here?â
Jon and the other directors were beyond horrified.
âHmph! The company wouldâve been shut down if I werenât here!â Sanford said with fury.
âHuh? That canât be, Mr. Collins. Why would the Charity Association be shut down?â
Jon smiled sheepishly, not realizing that the man standing right in front of him was capable of tearing the entire company down if he wanted to.
Youâre all fired. Youâd better prepare for all the investigations youâll all be going through!â Sanford said coldly.
Boom!
âWhat!?â
Jon and the other directors felt as though they had just been struck by lightning.
Sanford then turned to the four vice presidents behind him. âWhen this is all over, weâll have to resign and go through the investigations too.â
âWe understand!â the vice presidents immediately agreed.
This was the best way for them to save themselves.
Jon and his team were even more astounded.
Who on earth is behind Morris Group that our president is voluntarily resigning?
âAlright, letâs go check the records! Stop dilly-dallying,â said Levi.
âYes, Chief!â
Sanford and his men immediately lead the way.
Iris stared intensely at Levi.
Heâs actually acting all tough.
The only reason why he got to put on such a show was because of Mr. Atkinson.
And theyâre calling him Chief?
What a pretentious guy you are, Levi!
The truth unveiled itself not long after everyone arrived at the Charity Association.
The one billion donation was indeed from Morris Group. It had nothing to do with Triple Group at all.
âI believe I donât have to tell you what to do next,â Levi remarked.
âNot at all, Chief! Iâll take care of everything!â
Sanford instantly arranged for an announcement to be made, confirming that it was Morris Group that had donated the money.
Then, he contacted all the publishers and large media outlets to report Morris Groupâs acts of charity.
He also presented Morris its rightful award and certificate.
âI donât actually need these things, but youâll have to prepare them. Theyâre all part of the legal process.â
Levi glared at Sanford, causing the latter to tremble in fear.
âBy the way, let the world know that Triple Group never donated a single cent during the charity gala,â
the man instructed.
Triple Groupâs thinking of gaining without even doing anything?
Like thatâll happen.
âUhhâ¦â
Sanford hesitated for a moment.
After all, Triple Group was a powerful foreign corporation.
This was certainly a tough matter to deal with.
âHmm?â Levi hummed coldly.
âIâll take care of it right away!â
Triple Group was nothing compared to this man, after all.
Very quickly, all the large media outlets began to ask the following: When will Triple Group donate to the charity program?
Is it really for charity, or are they doing it just for clout?
Even the Charity Association confirmed what was going on.
Hence, the news quickly spread across North Hampton.
âSo Triple Group is nothing but a scam? Didnât they donate a billion during the charity gala?â
âThe guys from Triple Group are nothing but leeches! It was Morris Groupâs money and it ended up becoming theirs!â
âHow shameless! They even slandered Oriental Star Group that night. What a bunch of dogs.â
â¦
The tide quickly turned. Triple Group was now in crisis after having its reputation destroyed.
Meanwhile, inside the office of Triple Group in North Hampton.
Horace Waller was smoking on a cigar while looking extremely grim.
âSomethingâs fishy. I discussed everything with Sanford Collins and bought over a few of his vice presidents and directors. Why is this happening?â
Horace was puzzled.
At this very moment, someone from the Charity Association asked to meet him.
The Return of God of War Chapter 499 âHello, Mr. Waller. We wonât force you to pay the one-billion donation, but youâve already made your decision that night at the charity gala, so I think itâs best if you donât go back on your words. Itâd be bad publicity for Triple Group otherwise.â
Horace gritted his teeth and paid up.
He was fuming with anger.
Triple Group never had any intention of paying such an amount. This was simply a loss resulting from not carrying out his tasks well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Horae hit his desk in fury.
âDamn you, Morris Group!â
At that very moment, he received a phone call.
The person on the line proceeded to chastise him.
With a gloomy face, Horace silently listened to everything that was being said to him.
âMr. Park Hae-Jin will arrive in North Hampton soon. Youâll be in charge of welcoming him! Leave all of North Hamptonâs matters to Mr. Park from now on. All you need to do is assist him.â
Horaceâs expression instantly took a turn upon the mention of the name.
Park Hae-Jin was the son of Park Cheon-shin, the regional manager of Triple Group in Erudia.
They were the direct descendants of the family that ruled Keereaâs Triple Group, and had control over all affairs in Erudia.
It was this father-and-son duo who caused Scott Yates to lose all his affiliations.
Park Cheon-shin was someone who could go up against Scott Yates.
His son was even more terrifying.
Horace knew what Park Hae-Jin was coming to North Hampton for.
That man was a complete deviant!
At four o âclock in the afternoon.
Horace waited at a highway intersection with a large group.
A row of cars arrived shortly after.
The second vehicle was a LaFerrari worth forty million.
The door opened and out came a young man in a suit. He had blue hair and his ears were pierced.
A corner of his lips curled slightly as he stood in front of Horace.
âWelcome to North Hampton, Mr. Park!â Horace bowed and said with a smile.
Yet, the Keerean man suddenly grabbed Horace by the hair, pulling him forward.
Horace cried out in pain.
Pow!
Hae-Jin punched Horace in the face, blood immediately spurted everywhere.
Pow!
Bam!
â¦
He continued his vicious assault on Horace.
The poor man now looked like a complete mess.
Wham!
Finally, Hae-Jin kicked Horace in the stomach, sending him flying eight meters backwards.
The latter clutched his stomach and writhed in pain.
This was exactly why Horace was afraid of Park Hae-Jin.
Fortunately, he was the general manager in Erudia, and thus still of value to Triple Group.
Otherwise, Hae-Jin would have already sent him to meet with his maker!
âTrash! Youâre all trash!â Hae-Jin raged.
âWhatâs the point of looking after trash like you? We lost one billion just like that, not to mention Tripleâs reputation was tarnished!â
The man was so livid that he brought a few of Horaceâs men forward and proceeded to beat them up.
âItâs all my fault, Mr. Park Hae-Jin! I swear Iâll gain back what weâve lost!â Horace promised while kneeling in front of Hae-Jin.
Then, he continued, âIâve also prepared a few lovely ladies for you, Mr. Park. Theyâre all actresses who have recently made it big, such as Trisha Sullivan and Hazel Levine. Please enjoy your time with them!â
This was the only way to protect his own life.
Park Hae-Jinâs temper died down slightly. âNow thatâs what Iâm talking about!â
Perhaps, not even Trisha Sullivan would have expected something like this to happen to her after betraying Oriental Star Group.
Hae-Jin suddenly remembered something. âI heard that the most popular actress right now is Helena Engler. Her boss is a real beauty too.â
âUhh⦠I donât think I can do anything about that, Mr. Parkâ¦â
Horace began to tremble.
Hae-Jin scoffed. âThen forget it. Iâll take care of it myself! Remember this. North Hampton is at the mercy of Triple Group. Thatâs exactly why Iâm here!â
The Return of God of War Chapter 500 Park Hae-Jin was extremely full of himself.
However, Horace didnât question him at all.
Because he knew what Triple Group was capable of.
What Park Cheon-shin and his son were capable of.
In fact, Park Cheon-shin and his son indistinctively held more power than Scott Yates did.
But why did they never confront each other head on?
The main reason was that the losses were too huge, even if they would have won.
It would be akin to killing a thousand of Scottâs men but losing eight hundred of their own.
Now that Scottâs faction had collapsed, Triple Group stood alone and firm in Quebec.
They could now do whatever they pleased!
Triple Group had no issues taking over South City and ten other areas.
The toughest nut to crack was North Hampton.
Park Cheon-shin had immediately sent his son over after Horaceâs screw-up.
That night, Trisha Sullivan and the other women who had signed Triple Groupâs slave contracts were given hell.
The next day, they were carried straight into the hospital.
Horace shuddered at the news.
Park Hae-Jin was an absolute pervert who treated women like playthings.
Many of them died.
Those who didnât either ended up with depression or remained in the hospitalâ¦
Maurice was petrified too.
Hae-Jin walked out and bumped into him.
âI heard you made it pretty big, but youâre nothing but a street rat now. How are you even going to make me money?â Hae-Jin asked coldly.
âI can act,â Maurice answered while trembling. âI can shoot lots of movies!â
Slap, slap.
Hae-Jin patted the manâs cheeks. âDo you think anyoneâs going to watch your movies?â
âIâ¦â
Maurice froze on the spot.
ptooey!
Hae-Jin spat on the ground.
âLick it up. Iâm a guy who spits wherever I like. From now on, your job is to lick up all of my spit,â he said with a laugh.
âNo⦠Noâ¦â
Maurice instantly paled.
How could a celebrity like him do such a thing?
âNow!â
Hae-Jin kicked Maurice to the ground.
Maurice had no choice but to lick it clean.
Hae-Jin ended up spitting on the floor all day.
Despair.
Endless despair!
Maurice would have remained a trending celebrity had he stuck with Oriental Star Group.
His future would have been full of riches, glory and splendor.
Sadly, he could only go through such suffering now.
â¦
At Bayview Garden.
Iris picked Levi up for work in her Porsche.
Zoey smiled helplessly.
Her snobbish best friend was actually driving Levi to work.
It must be because heâs that charming.
Zoey smiled.
While driving, she suddenly spotted a Ferrari speeding recklessly on the left lane, disregarding all traffic rules.
All the surrounding vehicles tried to evade it.
Those who didnât make it in time ended up crashing into other cars or the guard rails.
âWhat!?â
Zoeyâs eyes widened in disbelief.
The Ferrari suddenly turned to the right lane and began zooming toward her.
Zoey wasnât driving slowly, but it was already too late to switch lanes.
Crash!
The two cars violently collided.
The airbag was instantly deployed, protecting Zoey.
No one was injured.
However, the vehicles were a different story. The Ferrariâs head had completely caved in, and Zoeyâs Audi RS7 was severely damaged too.
Slam!
The owner of the Ferrari got down. He looked extremely menacing with his blue hair and pierced ears.
Behind the Ferrari were several other vehicles. Dozens of men in black began to exit and walk over.
âHow the hell do you even drive!?â
Park Hae-Jinâs attendant, Park Chang-wook, ferociously gave Zoeyâs Audi a few kicks.
