Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1451

“Eh?” Thierry's proclamation had left the crowd speechless. “Is that all?” Dragonus demanded in disbelief. Even with the secrecy that the Great Family of Eastford operated in, they had still suffered tremendous casualties. It was inconceivable that Thierry was just going to let it go. “That's right! For all the casualties that we have faced, I'm going to need an explanation!” Lesale spoke up. “Even if I were to let it go, I couldn't deny Frostbringer the taste of blood,” Albus said coldly. “Frostbringer wouldn't agree! The three hundred thousand strong of Frostford wouldn't agree!” shouted the men of the Great Family of Frostford, the volume of their combined voices thundered throughout Lake Westia. “Give me one good reason to!” Albus glared at Thierry. “You have all been deceived!” Thierry protested weakly. “It's not what it looks like! Levi wasn't the one to kill all your men, somebody had him framed!” “How do you explain the evidence, then?” With a wave of his arm, Albus's men came forth bearing the evidence he referred to. It was the evidence fabricated by the Avengers stating that Levi was the one who had committed the crimes. So damning it was that Thierry was unable to refute it. “This has...” he began, only to be cut across by Albus's laugh of disdain. “What next? Are you going to claim that this evidence had been falsified?” “I...” He stammered, speechless by Albus's determination. “We have evidence that Levi was the one behind this!” Lesale and Dragonus exclaimed. “That's not all. Our Samson and four of his disciples had been brutally murdered by Levi. On top of that, there were the dozen or so injuries committed to my men. He cannot escape justice!” “Levi had blatantly murdered my people as he had regained his powers. I will not stand by and allow it to happen!” Albus's voice dripped with malice. “Hear, hear! Blood for blood!” The men shouted, incensed. “Let all four of our great families join forces and put an end to Levi! We won't rest until he's dead!” Lesale and Dragonus roared. Thierry was panic-stricken in the face of their fervor. However, Levi's true identity had to remain confidential, especially after the battle on Mount Drago. It is information that I simply cannot divulge. “Have you ever considered the reason behind Levi's killings?” Thierry shouted. “It's simple! Levi intends to subdue the Four Great Families to work for him as Dragonites! Now that he has had the time to recuperate, surely he must have realized that he does not have standing anymore. He is desperate for some merit, thus he plans to strongarm us to becoming Dragonites to serve his will.” Albus paused as he drew breath. “This act would allow him to regain his influence. With this kind of power at his command, it would not be surprising if he would be able to become king of Erudia.” “That is why Levi had killed my people, to answer your question.” Albus's reasoning was so well thought out that Thierry had been rendered dumbstruck. “On behalf of the Four Great Families, I petition that we put out an order to kill Levi! Let us vow to not rest until he's dead!” “Frostford agrees!” “Southford agrees!” “Eastford agrees!” When the expectant silence grew too long, all three leaders stared at Thierry. “Thierry, what are you waiting for?” said Albus with a nasty smile. “You're not in favor of this order, are you?” “That's right, I'm not!” said Thierry defiantly. “I think we shouldn't provoke him for the sake of the safety and future of our Four Great Families. We simply couldn't afford to fight him should we incur his wrath,” Thierry reasoned. “We can't fight him? Hah! Since when did you become so unsure of yourself, Thierry? Us, the Four Great Families, afraid to fight a little sh*t like Levi?” Albus sneered. “We would turn and walk away from this confrontation if he is the Crown King. It's a pity that he isn't!” Lesale added. “I beg to differ. He is indeed the Crown King!” yelled Thierry in a panic.
