Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1934

“What happened?” asked Xenotoph. Everyone else had the same question. Johannes gave everyone a cliff's note version of what happened. That prompted everyone to laugh aloud. “God of Gamblers, you are really playful. Why are you paying attention to this? The punk was just lying to you,” said Xenotoph with a smile. Everyone else shared his thought. Johannes laughed aloud and joked, “Who knows? Maybe the kid has some secret up his sleeves? Hahaha...” “Alright then, let's wait for the guy.” “I just returned from my training, so I am actually itching to try my new skills out. Here's to hoping that the kid is strong enough to entertain me. Hahaha...” Xenotoph laughed, and so did everyone else. Everyone took that as a joke. Jefferson, however, sneered and commented, “Cryptic Stream Corporation will always have the Hilton family's back once the marriage is set. I'd like to see who would dare to come after them then!” His tone was arrogant, and his words were even more so. He was basically claiming that the Lab of Gods would be shielding the Hilton family, so no one would have the guts to come after them. “Dad, I think that punk is just lying. There's no way he'd be brave or stupid enough to show up. It's simply impossible!” shared Terrell with a smile. “The men I sent out have told me that he hasn't left Goldenport Island. If he's still here, then he should be dropping by soon,” replied Johannes. “It would be so great if he came!” Everyone was eager to watch the show. “Come here, Sherrie. You should talk to Jefferson,” Johannes called out to Sherrie. Jefferson had always had a thing for women like Sherrie, so his eyes shone when he saw her. Sherrie shot a look over, but displeasure remained written all over her face. Jefferson is nothing compares to Levi. After witnessing how incredible Levi is, how can a girl still be interested in a mutt like Jefferson? Sherrie was not interested in Jefferson at all. However, she was willing to endure it all if it meant being a member of the Lab of Gods, which was running the Cryptic Stream Corporation from behind the scenes. Sherrie had always regarded the marriage as a business deal, anyway. “Hmm, not bad. I accept the proposal,” said Jefferson while nodding. It might've been an arranged marriage, but Sherrie was extremely beautiful, so naturally, Jefferson was happy to comply. “Yeah, that's right. You two look perfect together!” Everyone else started cheering. Even Xenotoph was congratulating Johannes. “Congratulations, God of Gamblers. You will have an incredible grandson-in-law, and the family's future will be very bright if it joins forces with the Cryptic Stream Corporation.” Xenotoph was a master of magical techniques, but he was also a great politician and knew what to say. “Haha, that is for sure.” “Sherrie, what do you think?” Johannes turned his attention to Sherrie once more. “I...” Sherrie hesitated. The truth was that she didn't want to marry the guy. Unfortunately, being born into a prominent family meant that love was a luxury she couldn't afford. I will marry him to be a part of the Lab of Gods. “Yes, I accept the arrangement as well,” replied Sherrie with a nod. Jefferson smiled immediately after. “Then, I will inform my father of our arrangement afterward, God of Gamblers. The engagement party will be held soon, and the wedding date will be set too,” informed Jefferson. He wanted to get married as soon as possible because he didn't want a beauty like Sherrie to slip away. Johannes wanted the wedding to take place quickly as well, so they were in agreement. Everything was settled quickly. With the issue at hand settled, Johannes turned his attention to Xenotoph. “Erudia is in a mess now, with evil forces running wild. The powerful forces within the country are not working in sync, too. It seems that Goldenport Island is the only island that remained unaffected. We will be counting on you to continue guarding over the island, Xenotoph,” said Johannes with a smile. They had been growing peacefully for quite some time, so it was only natural that they didn't want outsiders to disrupt their peace. “Don't worry. No one will dare to have any funny ideas so long as I am here. Besides, we have you, the God of Gamblers, on our side, so there is nothing to worry about. Well, even the Cryptic Stream Corporation is about to join forces with us and make us even stronger. Goldenport Island will surely be safe,” commented Xenotoph with a confident smile. “Haha, then we can rest assured,” replied the rich and powerful figures of Goldenport Island. Sharing their wealth with others... That had always been their worst fear. “By the way, where is that punk? Is he not here yet?” Someone suddenly thought about Levi. “I'm right here.”
