Chapter 88: Chapter 861-870

The Return of the God of War Chapter 861 Whoa!

The group gasped after hearing that, and they all looked at the speaker, Kyle.

“Why are all of you looking at me? That rumor has spread across South Hampton. They said that Levi is a bastard child who only has a mother, while his father’s identity remains unknown. They even labeled him as the Jones family’s disgrace,” Kyle bluntly stated.

Boom!

Mia’s brain was about to burst.

She thought that leaving the Jones Residence would do Levi some good, yet who knew that they would meet someone who labeled him as a bastard child too.

“Did you call me a ‘bastard child’?” Levi calmly asked.

“Yes, I did. What’s wrong with that?” Kyle sneered.

He knew the Joneses looked down on Levi and could not wait to get rid of him.

As such, there was no need for him to be afraid of owning up to it.

Besides, if he taught Levi a lesson, the Joneses would probably thank him.

“I dare you to repeat it.” Levi coldly challenged.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

“You are a bastard child with only a mother and no father. Happy?”

Kyle arrogantly looked at Levi, his gaze filled with amusement.

Even his friends around him could not take it.

“Kyle, you are going overboard. After all, he is Mia’s brother,” one of the women, Xenia, could not help but scolded.

Kyle conceitedly chuckled. “Well, I am not the only person who is spreading it. In South Hampton, who doesn’t know that Levi is an illegitimate child? “

Slap!

Kyle had just finished his sentence when Levi gave him a tight slap across his face.

Pft!

The impact made Kyle cough out blood, together with a dozen of his teeth.

Unbelievable!

No one expected Levi to do that.

It only took one slap for him to make a few of Kyle’s teeth fall out.

“You!” Kyle angrily shouted when he regained his senses a few seconds later.

“How… how dare you hit me?”

Short of a few teeth, his speech became unclear. He looked at Levi in shock.

“You aren’t the only one I will hit. Whoever mentions it or curses at me, I will hit each of them till everyone shuts up.”

Although Levi sounded composed, one could sense the domineering presence he exuded.

It made Kyle shake in fear.

“My teeth!” he exclaimed and went crazy after seeing his broken teeth strewn across the floor.

“Watch out! I will get my revenge against you today!” he yelled.

Knowing that the relationship between Levi and the Joneses was not the best, he was not afraid of being questioned by the Joneses.

He had to get his revenge on Levi for knocking out his teeth.

“If you are bold enough, you will wait till I bring my men here!” Kyle threatened.

Although the others tried to persuade him otherwise, it was no use.

“Mia, I think you should leave. If Kyle summons his subordinates, your brother will be in trouble!” Xenia pleaded.

“Don’t worry, I will wait for him,” Levi interrupted.

“I will punish everyone who calls me a bastard child, and I will do this till no one dares to speak of it again.” He coolly took a seat.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 862 Xenia and the other girl were stunned.

He is so assertive!

They had never seen anyone as bossy as he was.

“Levi, let’s leave. There is no need to get upset with such people!”

Mia was worried for Levi.

“Mia, you don’t have to worry. If I can’t even handle a brat like him, then I do not live up to my name.”

Levi shrugged and even poured himself a glass of wine.

He looked unaffected, as though the situation did not concern him at all.

Xenia and Alice’s eyes were shining with admiration as they looked at him.

Levi was charming and attractive.

Since the Joneses would likely not step in to help him, Xenia and Alice anticipated watching him deal with Kyle.

It did not take long for Kyle to bring a large group of his subordinates over, who rushed to surround Levi.

Kyle’s gums were still bleeding and throbbing with pain.

He announced, “You are really something! I can’t believe you are still here. Very well, since you broke my teeth, you will have to pay. I want to knock out all of your teeth too. Then, I will pluck out all your nails from your hands and feet until you beg.”

With hatred, he looked at Levi.

Then, he cursed, “You filthy bastard child!”

Boom!

Crack!

In the next moment, Levi picked up the wine bottle and smashed it on Kyle’s head.

Blood gushed out, and Kyle almost fainted.

In the same period, another gathering was happening on the second floor.

They all looked unique. Some had bandages on their legs, and some had bandages on their arms.

They were the Prince Gang from South Hampton and their leader, Jaron Goel.

The crash of the wine bottle caught their attention.

“Oh? Go take a look at what is happening,” Jaron ordered.

Everyone looked over at the fuss.

“It is Kyle trying to teach someone a lesson,” someone reported.

Jaron glanced over at the scene and saw a familiar figure.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he jumped to his feet.

“That is the leader of South Hampton, Levi Garrison!” Jaron gasped in surprise.

Everyone came to a realization.

He is really Levi, their leader!

“What the hell! Kyle is playing with fire!”

Everyone angrily stood up and rushed toward them.

After being hit by the bottle, Kyle looked at Levi with disbelief and anger. “You… must die. All of you, I want you to kill him! I will bear all consequences!” he screeched like a monster, livid.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 863 Crack!

Another man came forward and smashed another wine bottle on Kyle’s head.

Blood splattered everywhere, and there were glass shards strewn across the floor.

Being cruelly attacked on the same spot, Kyle became disoriented.

He furiously turned and demanded, “Who the hell hit me?”

“It’s me,” the man behind him replied coldly.

“M-Mr. Goel?”

Just as he was about to explode, Kyle saw a familiar face that made him cower in fear.

Isn’t he Jaron, the head of Prince Gang?

“Mr. Hunt? Mr. Quinn?…” Kyle proceeded to call out the people present.

It occurred to him that to forty people from the Prince Gang were there, and they were the most powerful members.

They also belonged to either quasi-royal clans or royal families.

“All of you… were here?” Kyle stuttered in shock.

Although he was also from a wealthy family, he could not outrank those from the Prince Gang.

Typically, one would turn away to hide if they saw them.

Yet, he met them today.

“What’s wrong? Can’t we be here?” Jackson asked frigidly.

“Of course not! You can!” Kyle hurriedly replied.

He broke out in a cold sweat and felt so numb that he no longer felt the pain.

However, he did not understand why the Prince Gang would approach him, much less bother to smash a bottle on his head.

“What were you trying to do?” Jaron questioned.

Kyle chuckled. “Sir, I am teaching someone a lesson. He is the bastard child from the Jones family, Levi. He had the guts to hit me.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Levi.

Jaron and the rest of Prince Gang took a step forward and knelt in front of Levi. In unison, they called out in unison, “Greetings, Master!”

Everyone from the Prince Gang, even those unknown, greeted Levi as their master.

The situation was alarming.

Xenia, Alice, Mia and Kyle were all confused.

What is going on?

How did the bastard child from the Jones family end up being the master of the Prince Gang?

Are we dreaming?

Mia’s mouth was wide open as she tried to piece it all together.

No wonder Levi dared to challenge the Joneses. It was because he has the ability to do so.

Even the Prince Gang calls him ‘Master’.

On the other hand, Kyle refused to buy it. He thought Jaron and the rest were mistaken.

“Sir, what is wrong with all of you? He is an illegitimate child from the Jones family! Why are you calling him ‘Master’? Have you mistaken him for someone else?” Kyle questioned as his eyes widened.

Instantly, Jaron shot him a sharp glare.

Bang!

He sent Kyle flying with a kick.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 864 Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kyle crashed into several tables before he landed on the ground. Blood filled his mouth, and he felt like dying from Jaron’s kick.

“I will kill your entire family if you call our master a bastard child,” Jaron roared.

“Yes! The Prince Gang will haunt down whoever who has anything bad to say about our master.”

The rest of the members sounded one by one.

Boom!

The short few remarks took everyone in the restaurant by surprise.

They affirmed Levi’s identity as Prince Gang’s leader.

“Why… How…”

Flung onto the ground, Kyle struggled to get up.

He was about to go crazy from the knowledge.

“Truth to be told, he is not only the master of Prince Gang but also the head of the hundred prominent families in South Hampton.”

Jaron’s words were as sharp as a knife, and it took everyone by surprise again.

Shaking with fear, Kyle’s subordinates fell to their knees too.

“I told him I would beat everyone who calls me a bastard child, and I will do so to the entire South Hampton until no one dares to mention it again,” Levi calmly said.

“Understood! I will do so immediately! I will find all those who dare to speak ill of you, and I will meet them one by one. As for Kyle, your family is finished.”

Naturally, Jaron called the shots.

A few moments later, they threw Kyle and his subordinates out of the restaurant, and it finally quietened down.

“Don’t worry, you guys can continue with your night.”

Everyone could finally let down their guards after Levi spoke.

Xenia and Alice stared at him in wonder.

He seems like a gentleman, but is a beast inside.

How charming!

They secretly asked Mia, “Is Levi married?”

“Not yet, but he will be soon.”

“Since he is not married, it means that we still stand a chance.”

That night, Levi rejected both women’s invitation to their homes and headed back to the Jones Residence with Mia.

The Joneses had finished the preparations and were ready for the anniversary meeting to start.

Everyone was unhappy to see Levi return.

“Levi, why did you go out? Aren’t you aware that the whole South Hampton knows you as the bastard child? My family’s reputation is going to be destroyed because of you!” Tyler growled.

By now, everyone in South Hampton knew Michael had an illegitimate grandson.

The news was spreading like wildfire, and everyone was mocking the Joneses.

This was all because of Levi’s presence.

Therefore, the Joneses were furious with him and wanted him out of sight.

They even thought of killing him.

Michael commented, “Since you are part of the Joneses, I will set a rule for you, Levi. I will lock you up in the Jones Residence forever. From now on, you can never set foot out of this place.”

The Return of the God of War Chapter 865 He could no longer afford to let Levi roam free because everyone in South Hampton knew Levi was a bastard by now.

As long as he was free to move around, he would remain a disgrace to the Jones family which they wanted to avoid.

Their only plan was to imprison Levi permanently in the Jones residence and prevent him from ever stepping out.

Although people knew he had arrived at the Jones Residence, they would forget about his existence as long as he didn’t venture out.

Therefore, the damage and impact he would cause the Joneses would be greatly reduced.

Michael had learnt this tactic from someone else.

Levi’s mother, Emma Jones, was permanently imprisoned and wasn’t allowed to leave that place.

Until now, they had kept her in captivity for almost thirty years.

She was locked up since the day Levi was born.

Prior to this, Mia would definitely worry for him.

Not anymore. She found out about Levi’s identity when the prominent Goel family acknowledged him as their master.

She knew the Joneses were powerless against him.

If there was any conflict, he would definitely not be at the losing end.

In fact, she hoped Levi could teach the Jones family a lesson.

Levi laughed. “I can move anywhere that the sun shines and river flows. No one can stop me.

Furthermore, there’s no cage that can stop me.”

“Just wait and see if we manage to keep you locked up.”

Michael was dismissive of Levi’s boas.

He wanted to wait till after the anniversary meeting to torture him properly.

Michael had another idea. If he failed to imprison Levi, he would get Anson to take the bastard back to the military to be trained.

That way, it would be good for the Jones’ reputation and also remove Levi the troublemaker.

If the ten thousand warriors of the Iron Brigade knew about it, they would laugh until they dropped.

To have a deserter bring the God of War back to camp to be trained was going to be a terrible joke.

At night, Levi gave Zoey a call.

However, she was still angry and hung up on him.

Hmm? Why is Zoey behaving like that?

Levi realized the reason very quickly.

She must think that I have compromised with the Jones family for the sake of attending the anniversary meeting.

Zoey, you are mistaken! I don’t need to depend on the Joneses. At my command, the hundred prominent families in South Hampton would bow at my feet.

Levi smiled wryly.

They didn’t talk the whole night.

The next day, the Jones family anniversary meeting which was held once every decade began.

Levi and the Joneses arrived early at the Jones family’s ancestral home.

Family members from all over Erudia and even those from overseas were present.

The anniversary meeting was finally about to begin.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 866 “Later, don’t go shooting your mouth off. You better stay in this corner and keep quiet.” Michael came over on purpose to remind him.

Since he couldn’t hide his relationship with Levi, he had no choice but to acknowledge him.

That was all Michael could do to prevent him from humiliating other Joneses.

The courtyard within their ancestral home was large enough to accommodate a thousand people.

Hence, representatives from Jones families based all over the world were gathered there.

There was a chair in the ancestral hall was reserved for the head of the family.

On it sat an old man with white hair. He was as thin as a stick and looked as if he could fall anytime the wind blew.

However, his eyes glistened with energy, and he was in high spirits. He exuded an intimidating aura.

He was Joey Jones. At 123 years old, he was the eldest member of the family in Erudia.

He was the most senior member of the Jones diasporic families and had authority over all the individual Jones families.

There were four other chairs on each side of his seat where Michael, Westley, and others sat.

They were the heads of the eight most powerful Jones families.

They placed the rest of the thousand participants according to their seniority.

Levi was among them. But no one could see him as he was placed in a secluded corner.

Sitting in the chair and holding his staff, Joey exclaimed, “Hmm, what an amazing sight! All our descendants are strong and capable. Within Erudia, there are few who are stronger than the Jones family itself.

“Michael and Westley have done especially well. Within, ten years they have elevated their families from quasi-royal clans to royal families. There are eight other prominent families who were elevated to quasi-royal clan status. I am impressed!”

“Thank you for your compliments, Father. We wish you a long and prosperous life. Also, we wish the Jones diasporic families everlasting glory!” Michael and Westley both stood up to congratulate everyone.

The crowd repeated in unison, “We wish you a long and prosperous life. Also, we wish the Jones diasporic families everlasting glory!”

Joey replied with a smile, “Next, why don’t you tell us one by one what you have achieved in the last ten years.”

Michael and Westley’s achievements were a league above everyone else. Joey couldn’t stop praising them.

However, Westley explained with resignation, “Joey, the Chillshire Jones family has some regrets. We have reached the pinnacle of the business world, but there is no one in our family who has done well in government or the army. My son, Franklin, has not shown he is exceptional as he is just an ordinary government leader. While my grandson Aiden is only a colonel in the army which is nothing to shout about. As for my brother, Xaver Jones, he is just a second-tier leader in Chillshire but will be promoted to a first-tier leader next year.”

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in awe at how powerful the Jones family of the Chillshire branch was.

It was very impressive of them to have influential members in business, government, and the army.

Despite his humble tone, Westley was trying to outdo Michael.

He understood that in the south, both his family and Michael’s were evenly matched.

In terms of the government and army, his family definitely did better than the Jones family of South Hampton.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 867 “Impressive! You have lived up to the reputation of being a Jones. Our ancestors are proud of you.”

Joey clapped with joy.

He turned his attention to Michael as it was now the latter’s turn to present his family’s achievements.

Michael glanced at Westley before presenting. “The South Hampton Joneses isn’t as glorious as Chillshire’s. We do not have any exceptional members. The only one worth mentioning is my seventh son, Anson.”

Westley interrupted immediately, “Oh? I heard Anson is a prodigal son, to the extent you forced him to join the army. So, how is he doing now?”

“Anson behaved badly in the past and was every bit the prodigal son you heard about, but he straightened out after joining the army. Today, he is one of the God of War’s close subordinates as a Brigadier General in the Iron Brigade. He is a fearsome warrior and the God of War’s right-hand man,”

Michael explained with aplomb.

“A Brigadier General in the Iron Brigade?” Westley’s eyes almost popped out in disbelief.

If what Michael said was true, his family’s achievements would pale in comparison.

Hiss!

When the crowd heard what Michael said, all of them caught their breath in awe.

That’s really impressive!

As part of the God of War’s personal troops, his status is a lot higher than that of ordinary generals.

After all, it’s the God of War we are talking about here!

“Hahaha!”

At that moment, someone burst into sudden laughter.

That person was Levi.

Anson was a useless bum. Ever since he joined the army, he never saw himself as a soldier. All he did was pass the time eating and drinking.

In the end, he deserted the army and was taken prisoner by the enemy. He almost leaked out the army’s secrets too.

How did this man end up being one of the Iron Brigade’s King of War as claimed by Michael?

There are no wimps in the Iron Brigade, let alone a deserter like Anson.

Even if a member of the Iron Brigade is faced with ten thousand men alone, he would rather charge at the enemy and die in the blaze of glory.

As everyone was quiet, Levi’s laughed was especially jarring, which caused them to turn their attention to him.

Michael was infuriated.

Is this he here to cause trouble?

Will he not rest until we’re all dead?

Meanwhile, Westley was delighted to see Levi.

However, he maintained his stern expression. “How can one even laugh during such a solemn moment? It’s really rude. Do you even respect the rules of the Jones family? Who is it? Come out right now!”

“That’s right, whose dares to be so rude?” Even Joey was outraged.

“Grandfather, it’s Michael’s own grandson, Levi Garrison,” someone from the crowd replied.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Michael’s eyes were filled with dread.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 868 “Levi Garrison? Come out here!” Joey ordered angrily as he slammed his staff on the ground.

As the person with the highest authority within the Joneses, he was furious to see such conflict during a solemn event like this.

The junior members of the Jones family should always be respectful!

At that moment, everyone turned their gaze toward Levi while the members of the South Hampton Jones family hung their heads in shame.

The time to be humiliated has begun!

It’s all because of Levi!

He is the source of our humiliation!

However, Levi didn’t move despite being ordered to do so.

Joey shifted his sharp gaze to Levi.

“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” Joey’s voice deepened.

However, Levi ignored him as he never acknowledged that he was related to the Jones family.

No matter how much authority Joey had as Patriarch of the Jones family, he had no power over Levi.

Joey was furious at Levi for ignoring him again.

At the same time, Michael and the others were equally infuriated.

Levi is like a plague to us and keeps bringing us shame.

Joey then turned to Michael. “Is this how you teach your grandson? To turn a deaf ear to my command? Is he really deaf?”

Boom!

The Jones family of South Hampton were trembling uncontrollably at the patriarch’s reprimand.

“Levi! Step forward!” Michael yelled at the top of his lungs.

Everyone else began yelling, “Levi Garrison, step forward!”

However, Levi refused with a smile. “You don’t have the authority to order me around.”

Everyone looked at him in disbelief.

Isn’t that just ridiculously rude?

How could he be so brazen in front of the entire Jones diasporic families?

He does not respect anyone at all!

“Michael, you really have a wonderful grandson,” Joey scolded.

Before Michael could explain, Westley interjected, “Father, based on what I know, this grandson of Michael’s was left on the streets since he was young. He grew up in a ghetto and inadvertently picked up many bad habits. He doesn’t deserve to have the noble Jones family blood flowing through him.”

“That’s right! Despite having half the noble Jones family blood, he is a despicable person to the core.

How can someone like him attend the Jones family’s anniversary meeting?”

“How can he even be allowed to stand in the ancestral hall? He is a disgrace to our bloodline!” Aiden complained angrily.

Levi’s expression darkened and retorted, “Noble bloodline? In that case, I want to see how noble is your blood. Let me extract to examine its color.”

He walked toward Aiden.

“Wait! What are you doing?”

Everyone was shocked as the scene turned chaotic.

When Michael saw that Levi was filled with murderous intent, he resigned himself to despair.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 869 Although he hadn’t known Levi for a long time, he was still aware of how cruel his grandson was.

He knew Levi would have no qualms about drawing his knife and extracting blood from Aiden.

If Levi and Aiden were drawn into a conflict, the South Hampton Jones family would be done for.

The shame brought upon the family could never be washed away.

“Insolence! What are you trying to do?”

Aiden could feel how terrifying Levi was as he instinctively retreated a few steps.

The crowd berated Levi one by one, “How dare you cause trouble during such a solemn occasion?”

Joey was outraged as he stabbed his staff into the ground loudly.

“Why is there such a bastard within the illustrious Jones family?” he lamented as he watched Levi approach Aiden.

“What is this ruckus all about?”

At that moment, a voice rang out in the courtyard.

A man dressed in military fatigues carrying a green backpack entered.

“Oh? It’s my seventh son! Anson has returned!” Michael yelled in excitement.

Wallace, Calvin, and Tyler were all ecstatic to see Anson.

The pride of the Jones family has returned!

He is a real King of War!

He is also a member of the Iron Brigade under the God of War!

Everyone’s attention was focused on Anson.

“Dad, I’m back!” Anson exclaimed.

Michael hugged his son affectionately as he scrutinized him from head to toe.

You picked the right time to be back!

“Oh? Son, is there something wrong with your uniform?” Michael asked, puzzled.

He noticed there weren’t any military signs on Anson’s uniform.

His armband and the shoulder ranks were gone. Even his serial number and all other insignias were left empty.

Being a deserter who almost leaked army secrets to the enemy, he was stripped of everything, leaving nothing on his uniform.

Staring at his empty uniform, Michael and everyone else were surprised.

In their minds, Anson was supposed to be wearing the uniform of a Brigadier General with a single star on his shoulder.

However, not seeing anything there disappointed them.

They started to doubt Anson’s identity.

“Anson, where’s your uniform? Aren’t you a Brigadier General?” Michael asked.

“About that, the Iron Brigade has very strict disciplinary rules. On such an occasion, we are not allowed to deck out our uniforms in full colors. All ranks and insignias have to be removed to keep a low profile,”

Anson explained without batting an eyelid.

He didn’t dare to tell his father the truth for fear of being beaten to death.

“Oh! So that’s it. Just as I’ve said!” Michael smiled in relief.

“Bullshit, who came up with that rule? Why didn’t I know about it?” Levi interjected suddenly.

The Return of the God of War Chapter 870 Levi had never set such a rule in the Iron Brigade.

In fact, he would encourage his men to put on their Iron Brigade armbands when they returned home because it was a prestigious symbol.

Any family who had a son serving in the Iron Brigade would feel extremely honored.

Levi’s words brought everyone’s attention back to him, including Anson’s.

He sneered at Levi, “Who are you? Do I know you?”

“Are you a member of the Iron Brigade?” Levi asked.

“That’s right! Brigadier General Anson Jones of the Iron Brigade at your service,” Anson replied.

Levi was amused. “You’re in the Iron Brigade and yet you don’t know who I am?”

Soldiers from other divisions may not know him, but the Iron Brigade was under his personal command. Every member knew him by the face.

It was impossible for his subordinate not to recognize him.

It only means you are not from the Iron Brigade.

“I don’t know you. A-Are you also in the Iron Brigade?” Anson panicked.

If his lie were exposed, Michael would definitely punish him severely.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He is Emma’s son, Levi Garrison,” Michael reminded.

Upon hearing that, Anson heaved a sigh of relief.

He glared at Levi and bellowed, “Are you even from the Iron Brigade? Why do I need to know you?

Who do you think you are?”

Levi replied with a knowing smile, “If you are really from the Iron Brigade, you will definitely know who I am.”

“Dad, is this guy being rude and disrespecting all the elders here?” Anson stared daggers at Levi.

“Just ignore him! Come over here to greet the Patriarch.”

Anson followed his father and approached Joey.

“Grandfather, it’s my honor to meet you.”

Joey stood up and looked at Anson emotionally. “The Jones diasporic families finally have a member who brings the greatest honor to the family. So what if one is extremely wealthy or if one’s wealth rival that of nations? It pales in comparison with what you have achieved! You are the right-hand man of the God of War and a famous general of the Iron Brigade. I am extremely proud of you!”

The South Hampton Jones family was ecstatic to hear that.

To be acknowledged by the Grandmaster in front of the Jones diasporic families was considered the highest honor and the envy of the other families.

As a result, Westley’s face darkened.

“Come, give Anson a seat,” Joey ordered.

Other than the head of prominent Jones families, no one else was allowed to sit in front.

By inviting Anson to have a seat, Joey was demonstrating how much he valued Anson’s achievement.

Michael arranged for two chairs to be brought in. One for Anson while the other for a guest of the highest honor, the God of War himself.

When Levi saw the empty chair, he commented with a smile, “It appears the Jones family knows what’s good for them by reserving a seat for me.”

Just as he spoke, he proceeded to take his seat.
