Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1778

All the weaker parties appeared inferior once those with Rank Seven as leaders made their announcements. They knew even if Forlevia joined them, they may not have the ability to protect her when someone else launched an attack on them. As such, once those strong parties showed off their Rank Seven leaders, the rest faded away and gave up wooing Forlevia. After realizing how popular Forlevia was, they knew they would not stand a chance. They had grossly underestimated Forlevia's charm previously. “These would be the most likely candidates, so why don't you discuss and make a decision?” Levi and his family were given the unenviable task of making that decision. They had to choose one from the handful of parties with Rank Seven leaders to be Forlevia's master. It was an indisputable fact that by joining a party with a Rank Seven leader, Forlevia's safety and future development would be guaranteed. After all, there were not many warriors capable of rising to a Rank Seven fighter. When Levi killed five Rank Seven fighters, he got onto the Gem List. Levi stood by nonchalantly while Zoey and the other family members started their heated discussion. Initially, they were excited, until they realize a problem... What would happen to the parties they rejected? Obviously, they would be offended, and they may even bear grudges against the Lopez and Black families! That would mean trouble ahead for the two families, and they could even lose their lives over that. With that realization, the family was stumped, and in a dilemma. The dozen of parties were all equally powerful and influential. By picking one of them as Forlevia's master, they would have offended the rest. The family knew the chosen party would definitely do their utmost best to protect Forlevia, but there was no guarantee they will do the same for her family. After more than half an hour of discussion, the family could not come to a consensus. Quite contrary to the initial excitement they felt, they had broken out in a cold sweat just thinking of the consequences of their decision. There was simply no perfect solution to their dilemma! All the parties were highly skilled and could easily crush them like ants should they get into a fury from being rejected. Soon, one of the organizers came over and asked., “Have you come to a decision? Have you decided who the kid will go to?” “Please give us a little... a little more time. We are still in a discussion,” the family hesitantly replied. “Please make it quick. They are getting impatient. It would be serious trouble if those people get mad!” The warning added to the pressure on the family. At that crucial moment, Levi stepped in and offered, “Leave it to me. I will make the decision for Evie!” “You?” All eyes were on Levi after he made the shocking offer. Suddenly, one of the relative's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed. “Yes, Evie's father would be the best person to make the decision. Outsiders like us shouldn't interfere in the matter. Let us make a move!” “Yes, I agree. That is the right of Evie's father. He should be the one making the decision!” All the family members readily agreed to Levi's suggestion. They were relieved to be spared the agony of making that tough decision, and happy to let Levi take all the blame and responsibilities should anyone get offended. They did not have to take the risk, yet they would still be able to enjoy the privileges and glory from being associated with a powerful leader, regardless of who Levi chose. It was a win-win situation for them, and they were happy with the outcome. “The kid's father will take over from here. Excuse us!” Cora announced, then left Paradise Villa, dragging a reluctant Zoey along with them. They left Forlevia alone with Levi, knowing he would shield her from any harm. Levi held on to Forlevia's hand and walked to centerstage, under the intent gaze of the hundreds of leaders. “Have you decided, Forlevia's dad?” the leader of Team Ciel coldly asked. All those present also started clamoring for an answer from Levi. Levi looked around the stage, then smiled and said, “I am sorry to say this, but none of you are qualified to take my daughter as a disciple!”
