“Such scum should just be sentenced to death! Why keep him around?”
“Yes! He even betrayed his family. He’s no better than a traitor!”
Aaron and Caitlyn did nothing to defend themselves.
Any attempt to do so would just result in more rebuttal and insults.
They were slandered!
Such malignance!
After getting wind of the news, Una could not hold back her broad grin.
“Who would’ve thought even Levi would come to this? Even your wife has fallen from her grace. Let’s see how you crawl out of this hole.” She sniggered spitefully.
Even Winston was elated to receive the news.
A man of Levi’s position would normally never have caught Winston’s eye.
But he caused trouble one too many times and Winston was practically boiling with rage.
“All I had to do was dangle some meat in front of the mutts and they took the bait” Winston grinned widely.
Oh, I can’t imagine there exists joy greater than this!
Not only was he attending the next day’s swearing-in ceremony for the commander-in-chief, but to receive such news as well, he was bursting with happiness.
“Now everyone, focus on preparations for tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony!”
That night, these powerful figures of North Hampton struggled to get some shut-eye.
In a luxurious mountain villa somewhere.
The kingpin behind the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce, Eric Robinson, who also stood at the head of four noble families, invited Grover Cooke and Xander Hoyles over.
“Mr. Cooke, Mr. Hoyles, I ask for your assistance tomorrow!” Eric appealed.
“How do you want us to help?” Xander asked warily.
“Tomorrow you are to arrange a meeting between us, the God of War and Mr. Quinton. Winston Gonzales cannot, under no circumstances, know about it! I’ll leave this matter in your hands! The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce is in grave danger!”
The faces of the men in front of him soured.
“Okay, leave it to us! I’ll also have Jesse come up with a plan to help the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce!” Grover replied calmly.
“That’s great!” Eric and the rest were thrilled.
Their fates rested on the shoulders of Xander and Grover.
“Hehe. When the time comes, we’ll have both Morris Group and the Gonzales family under our thumb!”
They could not wait for the next day to arrive.
The next day.
The North Hampton Warzone had completed all preparations and were more than ready. The commander-in-chief’s swearing-in ceremony would begin at exactly 9 o’clock.
Andy, who was in charge of the event, bustled about incessantly.
The last step was to ensure the God of War would be making an appearance to formally introduce Percy as the new commander-in-chief.
Andy was overwrought with emotion.
Even the God of War had to follow the schedule he set out.
How wonderful was that!
In the morning.
Levi addressed the family before him, “Dad, Mum, Zoey, let’s go out and have some fun!”
The trio did not protest and obediently climbed aboard the car.
Soon, Levi had driven them out of the suburbs.
Zoey did not pay much mind. She assumed Levi was taking them to the countryside or to a scenic location.
But as the ride went on, she sensed something was off.
There were many cars on the road, most of which were of high-end brands like Maybach and Rolls-Royce.
They were all moving in the same direction as Levi.
Is there an event going on?
“Honey, where are you taking us?” Zoey enquired.
“I’m bringing you to see the world, and enjoy yourselves while we’re at it!” Levi grinned.
After about two hours, they were almost out of North Hampton.
They had finally arrived at their destination.
When they took in the surroundings, the three Lopezes were stunned.
They were at an army camp!
We’re actually at an army camp!
The car had only just halted when soldiers came marching over for inspection.
The soldiers were all armed to the teeth. Zoey and her parents could not help but feel on edge.
