At that moment, Levi kicked the gates open and strode into the villa.
He was greeted by the sight of up to a thousand of Damien’s men, who stared him down with murderous intent.
“Take him down!”
There was a buzz as the men started running towards him immediately. However, a slow drawl interrupted their
progress.
“Slow down! Let him take his time,” Damien said from inside the meeting room.
Upon hearing Damien’s orders, the warriors moved aside and opened up a narrow path for Levi to walk across to
the front door. They continued to watch him closely as he stepped into the house.
Levi noticed those men were top-class warriors.
The Garrison family really hires and trains the best of the best.
Very quickly, Levi found his way through the corridors and arrived at the meeting room.
When he spotted Dexter hanging upside down from ceiling, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
Damien is too cruel.
Levi turned livid when he noted the pool of blood on the floor below Dexter.
Damien burst into laughter. “Levi, this is the man you owe your life to! If it hadn’t been for him, you would have

By then, Dexter was already one foot in the grave. When he spotted Levi, he only had the breath to croak, “Master
—Master Levi…”
“Dexter…”
Levi took a deep breath.
How could they treat the man he owed his life to in this inhumane way?
Coldly, Levi ordered, “Damien, remove him from the ceiling and set him down on the floor immediately!”
Damien burst into laughter again. “You want me to set him down? Sure! But that’ll depend on whether you have the
ability to make me do it.”
Summoning the remaining energy in his body, Dexter whispered, “Master Levi, leave…leave quickly… It’s a trap…”
“Don’t worry. I must save you today! When I was a child, you saved my life once. Today, you risked your life for my
sake again! I must save you.”
With that, Levi started walking towards Damien.
Suddenly, a large boom sounded across the entire room.
The meeting room, which had been empty of other people until now, was now a crowded place. Men stood
shoulder to shoulder, filling the room from corner to corner. All of them were top-class warriors and there were at
least a few hundred of them.
Everyone gazed at Levi, looking prepared to kill him if need be.
Click!
Instantly, the door of the meeting room was locked.
Even if Levi miraculously grew wings that very moment, it would be impossible for him to escape now.
Damien cackled with glee.
Now, Levi will die and his corpse won’t even be intact!
They are almost at their inevitable end. In a few minutes, both Levi and Dexter will be dead.
Damien had already thought everything through.
After he killed both of them, he would announce to the public that Levi had murdered the butler of the Garrison
family, Dexter. As far as the public was concerned, Damien had killed Levi in retaliation.
This was a perfectly reasonable excuse.
Although everyone would know it was a set-up, nobody would be able to dispute his narrative.
Meanwhile, Emma had dashed back into her room and dialed a telephone number she had saved at the very back
of her mind a long time ago.
“Come on, pick up! Come on! If you don’t pick up now, Levi is going to be in huge trouble,” Emma muttered
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanxiously to herself.
Finally, the person on the other end picked up the phone. “Who—who is this?”
“It’s me, Emma Jones!”
After Emma revealed her identity, the other party remained silent for a long while. She could sense that they were
holding their breath.
Emma jumped straight into the topic and stated her reason for calling. “Mr. Tyrone Garrison, I won’t beat around
the bush anymore. I just have one request!”
She was afraid that if they dragged this out, Levi would be dead.
“What is it?”
“I hope you’ll let my son go! Just this time, I promise! As long as you let go of my son this once, both my son and I
will never have anything to do with the Garrison family again! You know I’m a person of my word! I’ll keep my
promise!” Emma pleaded desperately.
“I don’t call the shots on this matter. Nobody asked him to be so reckless. He deserves this for trying to go up
against the Garrison clan!” Tyrone replied icily.
“He’s young and doesn’t know the ways of the world yet. Please just let him go this time! Just this time! I’ve never
asked you for anything before, but please let my son off this time! I can even die in his place!”
“Please, I beg of you…I’ll even kneel before you…”
Emma was crying so hard that her face was practically soaked with tears.
