Chapter 1614

In Levi’s esteem, these disciples of Wildefield were just brats who were still wet behind the ears.

Daring to hit on Zoey?

The gall of them!

To him, Wildefield was a place that he could level in a heartbeat, so he had no regard for these little punks whatsoever.

Levi’s outburst took everyone, including Zoey and Mia, by surprise.

Trouble usually followed the temperamental Levi everywhere, but this was a place filled with powerful warriors who were all capable of killing within a blink of an eye, which meant that there was absolutely nothing to gain for a now regular person like Levi by behaving so maddeningly here.

“What?”

“Are we going to stand for such antics from someone like him in Wildefield?”

A few individuals then started to move in toward Levi.

“Did you not say that you’re going to tear my lips? Bring it on then!” said the one who mocked him earlier.

“Do restrain yourself, Levi! Remember where you are!” cautioned Zoey and Mia.

“I’m going to run my mouth, so what are you going to do about that? Your wife’s just wasting her life away with a good-for-nothing like you who’s totally unfit for her! She ought to divorce you and be with someone else!” that man continued.

Smack!

In the next instant, Levi’s raised palm swiped across the man’s face with a crispness that echoed far and wide.

Everyone around was stunned as none expected that Levi would actually strike anyone and with a force beyond the capacity of any ordinary folk.

“What? How dare you! You’re really asking for it!”

The one who was struck, Guy Lebon, was about to retaliate when a child’s voice rang out. “Daddy!”

With a couple of hops, Forlevia appeared before Levi and threw herself into his arms.

The air was mired in silence while Guy withdrew his hand in astonishment.

He was fearful of neither Levi, Zoey nor Mia, but this wee child was someone who gave him the jitters; or should it be said that like the rest of Wildefield, he had to show deference to this little mistress who enjoyed the favor of the overlords of the ancient city.

Everyone went along with her every whim as they were afraid to get on her wrong side, hence should her father be beaten up or killed, there would surely be hell to pay.

Guy’s fingers tightened around themselves and he glared at Levi with eyes reddened. “I’ll not forget this. Just you wait!”

“Why wait? Let’s finish this here instead!” said Levi with a smirk.

As much as Guy wanted to get even, he kept himself in check after stealing a glance at Forlevia.

“You’re an utter disgrace to all men, needing to rely on a little girl’s protection at your age! If I were you, I would have rammed my head against the wall and killed myself!”

That roused some subdued murmurs between the onlookers.

Weakness in men was frowned upon in this dog-eat-dog world, so the inhabitants here were especially contemptuous of Levi, who they determined was dependent on both his wife as well as his own daughter.

In their esteem, he was guilty of the very thing which no dignified gentleman should ever be guilty of.

“Don’t you say that about my Daddy. So what if my Mommy and myself were to protect him?” Forlevia said with a pout as she eyeballed those around her.

“What a joke of a man, needing to cower behind a little kid! You shouldn’t show your face in public if you had any pride left in you!”

“Yeah. Might as well off yourself!”

“Never mind men, even a woman like me can’t stomach this!”

Things got rowdy as everyone could not help but contribute to the heckling when confronted with this scene.

“Silence! And return to your homes, all of you!” came a thunderous bellow from beyond the horizon.

“It’s the Governor!”

“The Governor’s here!”

While the crowd scattered like mice before a feline, Forlevia excitedly said, “Come, Daddy. Mr. Fairclough’s here. Let me take you to him!”
