The Return of the God of War Chapter 921 âGo with your son, Emma. Thank you for your hard work,â affirmed the team leader.
Levi then gave the man an earnest glance to show him his gratitude.
âLetâs go, Mom.â
The son supported his mother, and the two were ready to go home along with Zoey and Sylas.
Emma was surprised to see such a beautiful woman with them.
âThis is Zoey, your daughter-in-law.â introduced Levi with a smile.
âIâm so sorry for what youâve been through, Emma!â Zoeyâs eyes had already reddened from all her crying.
After briefly introducing Sylas to Emma, they returned to the courtyard.
Emma had dreamt of seeing her son again for nearly thirty years, and she was willing to die for it no less. However, she also understood that she could never leave Margo City.
She never expected anyone to find her, much less to see her son again.
Still, her dream came true, and her son appeared before her very two eyes. He had even brought her daughter-in-law along.
The tears never stopped flowing down Emmaâs face on their way home, but they were tears of joy.
âLevi, how did you know that I was here?â asked Emma curiously, for she was certain that the Garrisons had made it impossible for anyone to have found her.
âI received some help.â
On the way home, the mother felt like she had a multitude of questions to ask her son.
When Emma returned to the courtyard and saw the tombstone, her face turned grim. âLevi, donât mind this.â
Emma then covered the engraving on the tombstone with her body.
âItâs okay, Mom. You donât have to do that. I know that my name is on it.â
The motherâs face fell because she would rather have kept her son in the dark about it.
After getting inside the house, Emma wanted to serve her guests. Nonetheless, Zoey stopped her.
âAllow me to do so.â
âIâm so happy, Levi! Not only has my dream come true, rather, youâve also found yourself such a kind and beautiful wife. Now, I can die without regrets.â
âYou still have a good life ahead of you, Mom. Iâll make sure that you become the happiest mother in the world!â promised Levi as he held his motherâs hands tightly.
âSeeing you is enough for me,â responded Emma with a smile.
âMom, have you ever thought of leaving?â
âI canât do that. Didnât you see the tombstone? Theyâll kill you if I leave this place.â
âAre they using that rock to keep you here?â
âNo. Theyâve also got people watching me, and theyâll never allow me to step foot out of Margo City.â
The Return of the God of War Chapter 922 Emma continued, âItâs not just Margo City. For almost thirty years, I was only allowed to move within this block. They warned me that if I ever stepped out of the boundary, Iâd receive a serious beating.â
Levi widened his eyes so much that they could almost drop out. âWhat? You were only allowed to move within this block for almost thirty years?â
Whatâs worse than being imprisoned in a city for almost thirty years is being confined to a single block.
Those ruthless scumbags!
âYes. The Garrisons had ordered the people in Margo City to imprison me here. To make it foolproof, they deliberately narrowed the range down to just this block.â Emma sighed.
When Levi heard her words, rage pulsed through his veins, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
âEmma, have you been a sanitation worker all these years?â The thought of it broke Zoeyâs heart.
âYes. They control everything that I do, including my job. I was only allowed to be a sanitation worker because theyâd wanted me to struggle,â replied Emma with a nod, who then smiled at the tearful Zoey.
âI was fine, though. On top of my salary, scavenging around was enough to help me get by.â
Even so, everybody else could see how things really were, for it was impossible to forget seeing what Emma was willing to do for fifty.
âBut your healthâ¦â Zoey choked before she could finish.
âItâs nothing. As long as I continue to take my medications, Iâll be fine. The pain does get a little worse during cloudy and rainy days, though,â explained Emma casually.
Still, her sickness made her look at least twenty years older than she was.
Momentarily, Emma suddenly remembered something. âYou guys had better leave now. You shouldnât stay here for too long.â
âWhy?â asked Levi and Zoey in confusion.
âTheyâre always watching me. For almost thirty years, nobody was allowed to enter this courtyard or even talk to me. That was why I didnât have to lock the door. Nobody would dare to come by. If they find you here, youâll all be in danger. There might even be a serious beating.â
In a panic, Emma tried to hurry the three out, but Levi would not budge.
âItâs okay, Mom. Nobody will lay a finger on you while Iâm around.â
Levi sneered. âNobody bullies my mother!â
âWeâre no match for these people, so please just go! Theyâll see you!â begged Emma anxiously.
The Return of the God of War Chapter 923 Emma was well aware that she was constantly being watched, so it was only a matter of time before her son and his companions were spotted.
âJust go!â
Emma even pushed her son to get him to leave.
Creak!
Emmaâs face fell when she heard the door opening.
âOh, no! Theyâre here!â exclaimed Emma with a pale face.
âHey, old swine! Someoneâs here with you, arenât they? Did you forget the rules? How dare you bring outsiders home with you!â threatened a voice from outside.
Seeing how terrified his mother was, Levi realized how she was treated before.
âWhat do we do now?â
Emma was as anxious as a mouse in a cattery.
âWeâll be fine, Mom. You have me now,â assured the son.
âLetâs go and check it out.â Levi and the others then went out to the yard to meet a few fierce-looking young men.
âSo, you really do have people here, you old swine! Are you trying to get beaten up?â sneered the group leader.
Seeing how his mother had shrunk behind him in terror, Levi was infuriated. âDo you guys beat her up a lot?â
âWe do. So what? Sheâs nothing but an old piece of trash,â ridiculed the leader before the other men laughed. Unfortunately, none of them realized the severity of Leviâs rage.
âGet yourself over here and kneel before me, you old swine! Youâve broken the rules, so that means that itâs time for a beating!â shouted the man.
Emma was so frightened that she trembled all over; it was evident that she had been beaten up before.
There was no way that her frail and sickly body could take such a beating.
âHiding, are we? Iâll drag you out if I have to!â
The man then rushed toward Levi to grab Emma.
Slap!
Levi slapped his hand onto the manâs wrist to grab hold of it.
âWhat the⦠â The man tried to break free, but it was to no avail.
âRelease me before I beat you up too,â threatened the young man.
Kick!
A cold glint flashed across Leviâs eyes before he lifted his leg to kick the young man. The thug was soon sent tumbling backward.
âGet them! Get all of them!â roared the young man as blood dripped out of his mouth.
The other men rushed forward, but Sylas took care of them all with only a few kicks and punches.
Emmaâs jaw dropped when she saw how powerful her son and his companions were.
The men got back up before threatening, âSo, youâve got yourself some help to leave Margo City, huh?
Weâll see about that, Emma. Youâre not out of the woods yet!â
âNo, thatâs not it. I⦠Iâm not going to leave Margo City,â denied Emma immediately.
âThen, how would you explain this? Thereâs no denying it. Just you wait!â shouted the men before retreating.
The Return of the God of War Chapter 924 âItâs all over now. Get as far away as possible, and donât ever return. Seeing you once more is enough for me. I have no other regrets.â
Emma had completely broken down. âIf you donât leave now, theyâll return to kill you.â
She was not to contact the outside world, much less allow anyone to find her. That was the rule.
She was told that anyone who found out about her existence would be killed, and that was how the Garrisons ensured that nobody would ever find her.
âTo tell you the truth, I came here to take you away with me, so pack your things. Weâre leaving, Mom.â
âWhat?â
Emma could not believe what she had just heard. I hadnât even dared to leave this block, why would I leave the city?
She had been imprisoned in that city for nearly thirty years, and the invisible shackles on her had become part of her.
Even in her dreams, she could not escape the purgatory. I donât have the courage to do it. Anything but leaving Margo City!
âI understand what youâre trying to do for me, but the Garrisons have set the rule that Iâm not to step out of this city, ever! If I do, theyâll kill you. You saw the tombstone, right? Thatâs for you!â Tears were already dropping like rain from Emma, but the idea amused Levi. âNobody can kill me. Not yet anyway.â
The man had survived the battlefield for six years, and no matter how bad things got, he would always come back alive. Thus, why the heck would I be afraid of the Garrisons? Besides, a small place like Margo City doesnât scare me.
âListen to me, Mom. One way or the other, Iâm going to get you out,â insisted Levi.
âDo you know whoâs keeping me here? Heâs the most powerful man in the city, The King of Margo City himself! The Garrisons got the man to imprison me for nearly thirty years. Heâs practically the city itself!
He has eyes all over the place and he knows exactly who is in his city.â
Emma continued to dissuade her son. âI know that youâre an extraordinary man, but youâre no match for The King of Margo City, let alone the Garrisons. Levi, listen to me and leave now!â
Even Zoey was starting to worry for her husband. How is Levi going to fight against all of these people?
âLevi, maybe we should leave first and come up with a plan later,â suggested Zoey.
âYou do that, Zoey, but Iâm staying,â insisted Levi.
âNo. Weâre all in this together!â
The Return of the God of War Chapter 925 Emma grew anxious as she wondered what to do about the hard-headed couple.
Vroom!
Several cars arrived at the courtyard, and dozens of men stepped out of them.
âEmma, you old swine! Iâd heard that youâd gotten yourself some help to escape Margo City. Oh my, the audacity this woman has!â
Shivers traveled down Emmaâs spine when she heard the voice.
It was Erwin, the son of Amos Braus, The King of Margo City.
Amos had already delegated his son to watch over Emma because he wanted the Garrisons to recognize Erwin This would be a great help to his sonâs future.
When Erwin heard that Emma was trying to escape, he quickly brought a group of men over.
âSo itâs true.â Erwin sneered at Levi and the rest.
âDidnât you use to kneel whenever I arrived, Emma? Whatâs changed? Grown a pair, have you?â Erwin continued to sneer as anger flooded through Leviâs veins.
Iâll ensure that these people shall pay for what they have done to my mother for the past twenty years!
âIâm sorry, Mr. Braus. Iâll do it right now.â
Emma was about to kneel before the man, but Levi stopped her.
âDonât, Mom. You shall bow to no one.â
âMom? So this is your son?â Shocked, Erwin shifted his focus to Levi. âThis is Levi Garrison? Tell me, old swine, how did this bastard find you?â
Erwin was surprised because he always heard his father promising the Garrisons that nobody would know that Emma was in Margo City, especially not those who were close to her.
Never did they expect Emmaâs son to have found her.
If the Garrisons were to find out about this, their family alone would be ruined, if not massacred.
Erwin perspired all over at the thought of it.
âWell done, Levi. I didnât expect you to have stumbled upon this place,â admitted Erwin after taking a deep breath.
âEmma, you should know the rules. Whoever knows about you and your location will be killed, let alone your son. Heâll never walk out of here alive because we canât have the world know of your true identities.â
A murderous glint flashed in Erwinâs eyes before he coldly ordered, âKill all three of them!â
If it were the usual, Erwin would have captured a beauty like Zoey for his own enjoyment.
However, there was too much at stake then.
The Return of the God of War Chapter 926 When Emma and Zoey heard that Erwin wanted them killed, both of them panicked.
âPlease spare my son, Mr. Braus. Iâd never said that I wanted to leave Margo City. Heck, I wouldnât even leave this courtyard!â begged Emma after kneeling before the man.
âMom, what are you doing?â
Levi quickly helped his mother up.
âWhat if he spreads the information that youâre here or goes to the Garrisons? I canât allow that to happen. My father would never allow it! Killing them is the only way to avoid complications,â insisted Erwin.
âKill me if you have to, but please let my son live!â
Emma stood determinedly before her three guests.
âYouâve broken the rules, Emma. Theyâll have to die.â
With a wave of his hand, dozens of Erwinâs men rushed inside with shiny daggers in their hands.
âClose your eyes, Mom. You too, Zoey,â instructed Levi.
The two women did as they were told, and the frightening noises that followed only made them more afraid to open their eyes.
After a while, silence fell upon the scene. Afraid that something had happened to Levi, the two finally opened their eyes, only to see the other men lying motionlessly on the ground.
Staring at the unscathed Levi, Erwin was dumbfounded.
The man could not believe his eyes when he witnessed Levi crushing his men effortlessly. How can someone who had grown up an orphan be this powerful?
âTell The King of Margo City that Iâll be waiting for him here. He kept my mother here for nearly thirty years, didnât he? I want him to watch as I walk away with her,â commanded Levi calmly.
âWhat?â
Erwin was stupefied by how arrogant Levi was.
Why would he want to do it in front of my father, The King of Margo City?
Levi glanced at the tombstone. âThis is what youâve used to keep my mother here for more than twenty years. Iâm going to destroy it today.â
Crack!
Levi broke the tombstone into pieces with a strong kick while Erwin and Emma watched on with widened eyes.
It had been almost thirty years since the Garrisons had erected the tombstone there, and it was finally destroyed that day.
Its destruction was a challenge to the Garrisons and the rules that they had set for the past few decades.
Erwin was so horrified that he quickly took off to find The King of Margo City.
âWeâre in trouble now, Levi! The Garrisons will never let us get away with destroying the tombstone,â
stated Emma.
The Return of the God of War Chapter 927 âItâs simple, Mom. Nobody will erect a tombstone for me while Iâm alive. Anyone who tries to do so will die,â responded Levi with a smile.
âYouâre too young to fully understand what youâre up against, Levi. You have no idea how powerful the Garrisons are.â Emma shook her head helplessly.
âIs that so? Iâd like to see it for myself.â
Since Phoenix was unable to gain access to their information, Levi was curious to find out.
âDid you know that the prominent families in Erudia are century-old, while the ancient ones are millennia-old? The Garrisons happened to be the most powerful family of them all, and they were known as The Head of Erudia!â
Over the years, the Garrisons had gradually hidden themselves to the point that even their identitiesâ
had become top secret. Still, those who knew anything about powerful families knew that the Garrison family was the most powerful in Erudia.
âThe Joneses were considered a prominent family in South Hampton, but when compared to the Garrisons, weâre nothing. Because of the inferior blood that runs in my veins, Iâm not worthy of being part of the Garrison family. They refused to allow me to stay with your biological father, let alone allow you to be born,â continued Emma.
âThe Head of Erudia, huh? Interesting,â responded Levi with a smile.
No wonder the files on the Garrisons were SSSSS-level classified. I didnât know that they were so powerful.
The corners of Leviâs mouth lifted higher as he smirked.
Too bad for them, the confidentiality of my files is SSSSSS-level, a level higher than theirs. So what if they are the most powerful ancient family in Erudia? Theyâre no match for me.
âWhat the most powerful ancient family says shall go. They allowed me to give birth to you, but in exchange, I was to be imprisoned here. Youâd broken the rules when youâd destroyed the tombstone, and they wonât take it lightly.â
Emma was in despair because she knew that the Garrisons would never allow any of them to leave Margo City.
Not to mention, letting the world know that Levi was a Garrison.
They had every reason to make the four disappear from the face of the earth.
I donât mind dying, but I donât want to see my son being killed. Iâd only just met him.
The thought was enough to bring Emma to tears once again.
Zoey was almost as frightened as her mother-in-law when she heard about the Garrisons.
Even the Joneses of South Hampton submit to them, so how can we hope to fight against a family that is so powerful? Theyâll probably merely have to lift a finger to obliterate us.
Zoey shuddered when she thought of how superior the Garrisons were.
To her, it was like a battle between gods and mortals.
Zoey then glared at Levi before she scolded him, âLevi, youâre far too impulsive! You may not care about yourself, but youâve endangered your mother. Why canât we just think of another solution?â
The Return of the God of War Chapter 928 Emma could not help but agree with Zoey because her daughter-in-law was right about her son being impulsive.
Iâm happy that my son is capable, but he has to learn how to pick his fights.
âNow that the tombstone has been destroyed, it wouldnât make a difference even if I stayed, so letâs get out of here before The King of Margo City arrives!â requested Emma.
âWeâre in no hurry, Mom,â responded Levi with a smile.
âWhat?â
Both Emma and Zoey were stunned by Leviâs response.
What is Levi thinking? Heâs the one who wanted me to leave with him earlier. Now that Iâve agreed, why are we not leaving?
âDonât worry. We will leave eventually, but I have a score to settle first,â assured Levi when he noticed how confused the two seemed.
âIâll make them pay for what theyâd done to you for over twenty years, so weâll wait for them here.â
âThe past doesnât bother me. Whatâs important to me is your safety. Trust me, you wouldnât want to face The King of Margo City. Letâs just leave!â
âSylas, get them out of here,â ordered Levi after forcing his mother and wife into the car.
Sylas then quickly drove away, leaving Levi alone.
Before long, The King of Margo City arrived with a dozen cars and several trucks, as hundreds of men stepped out of the vehicles.
As the title suggested, the man was the king of the city, and he could summon hundreds to the courtyard with a raise of his arm.
When The King of Margo City, Amos, and his son arrived, they only saw a calm-looking man. The man, with his hands behind his back, looked as though he was waiting for them.
âWhereâs Emma that old swine?â shouted Amos.
âShe probably took off. We just spotted a car outside,â answered Erwin.
âFather, let me go after her.â
âNo. I have eyes all over Margo City. They wonât get away,â stated Amos coldly before entering the courtyard to stare at Levi. âSo, youâre Emmaâs bastard son?â
Without a hint of emotion, Levi remained silent.
âWerenât you an orphan who was abandoned to the streets? How did you find this place?â
Amos was curious as to how Levi had done it.
âAnswer my father, you bastard! Are you dumb?â roared Erwin.
âYouâre not worth it.â
The arrogant answer stunned Amos, who never expected anyone to speak to him in such a manner.
âSo youâre The King of Margo City? The one whoâd imprisoned my mother for almost thirty years?â
asked Levi.
Amos laughed out loud before replying, âThatâs right. Iâm the one whoâs kept that old swine here.â
The Return of the God of War Chapter 929 âThe Garrisons only wanted me to keep the old swine in Margo City. It was me who decided to imprison her in this city block, forbidding anyone from socializing with her. I also made her clean the sewers and deliberately raised the prices for the medications to torture her.â
The man seemed to enjoy remembering how Emma had suffered. âYou may not have seen it before, but it was amazing to watch her writhe in agony during the rainy days. Iâll never forget the sight. Thereâs only so much a person can take before they succumb to the pain.â
Leviâs face darkened as he clenched his fists.
âAre you even a human being? Do you have a conscience?â asked Levi coldly.
Amos laughed once more. âCalm down, boy. You should blame your mother because this is what happens to people who have offended the Garrisons. I could have treated her a lot worse, you know?â
Erwin agreed, âItâs true. I only give her a casual beating once every three days and a serious one, once every five days.â
âThe old swine can really take a beating, canât she? Sheâs still alive after all of these years. What a miracle!â
Listening to their conversation, Levi tried his best to hold back his tears. These heartless animals!
âLook at how upset he is. I think that he wants to kill us.â
âLook at how scary his face is.â
The men ridiculed Levi for being angry and had a good laugh for themselves.
Levi then smiled with a murderous intent.
âIâm guessing that everyone present had a hand in bullying my mother, right?â asked Levi coldly.
âThatâs right. Every single one of us has hit your mother before. So what?â
Then, Amos and all his men continued to laugh.
âGood. I just needed to hear you say it because youâll all pay for hurting my mother!â promised Levi before his mouth curved into a disturbing smirk.
He had not had a good fight since he had gotten back from the front line of the warzone.
Even taking Assassin 47 was a breeze.
Todayâs going to be different because these people will suffer my wrath. How unfortunate for them to have met the God of War!
âMake us pay? Who do you think you are?â
âLook around. Youâre outnumbered!â
Once again, the men laughed as though Levi had made a fool of himself.
âIâve heard that heâs skilled at fighting. Letâs put that to the test. Seize him!â ordered Amos as dozens of men rushed forward.
âThe Garrisons will reward me for killing this boy.â
Amos laughed in excitement.
The Return of the God of War Chapter 930 The King of Margo City was sure that his dozens of elites would have no problem in regard to dealing with Levi.
âKill him!â
The men gave it their all to take Leviâs life.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The next moment, Amos froze in terror because he had witnessed the impossible.
The men that he had sent to kill Levi were driven back as if they had been hit by a truck.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
One by one, the men fell to the ground with blood gurgling in their mouths.
Their bodies twitched and squirmed before coming to a halt.
The men merely passed out because of their broken ribs. Levi thought that the bone fractures were punishment enough for them and that there was no need to kill them.
âWhat?â
Amos and his remaining men were dumbfounded at the sight that lay before them.
How can he be that powerful?
âWeâve underestimated him, father. We need to send everyone over,â suggested Erwin.
âGo! All of you!â
At Amosâ command, hundreds of men broke through the courtyard walls and doors to swarm in like locusts.
âYouâre vastly outnumbered! Letâs see how long itâll take before my men tire you out.â
Amos looked at Levi and cackled.
âLetâs see how good you are.â Then, as though they were getting ready for a good show, Erwin lit some cigarettes for his father and himself before leaning casually against a car.
Due to the crowd, the two could not actually bear witness to how the battle was going, but they believed that Levi would die from exhaustion if he had not been beaten to death.
The father and son merely had to wait for the result.
A minute later, they started to notice their men backing away from the courtyard.
Peeping through a gap in the crowd, the two were surprised to see a mountain of fallen men in the courtyard.
The men were only backing away because there was hardly any space left inside.
There are people everywhere on the ground, and some are even stacked up upon others.
Levi must have defeated them all! Nevertheless, how is that possible?
The two were so horrified that they both dropped their cigarettes as they began to break into a cold sweat.
Then, they finally spotted Levi, the God of War himself.
Wherever the God of War went, people were bound to drop like flies.
Like a powerful weapon, the man could break bones just by swinging his iron fists.
The invincible God of War had no problem in defeating hundreds of Amosâ men.
Horror! Itâs pure horror!
The situation that unfolded next was rather unbelievable.
