However, the South City’s leaders’ expressions darkened when they heard that.
Tim, Stephen, and the other leaders were rendered speechless.
What’s happening here?
Didn’t we come because the God of War asked us to?
What does that have to do with that Russell guy?
We don’t even know him, so naturally, we wouldn’t offer him any help!
What is the Black family even thinking?
They must’ve misunderstood something.
As the Black family expressed their gratitude, Tim and the rest looked embarrassed.
They stared at Levi, and he just nodded understandingly.
At that, Tim declared, “That’s right! I admire Russell a lot, and the Black family represents excellence in the South City by contributing to society tirelessly. I definitely felt the need to step up when you are in trouble!”
Stephen chimed in. “Well said. Russell really is an amazing young man! We like him a lot!”
After they sung their praises, Russell blushed furiously out of embarrassment.
I didn’t even do anything, but my family keeps thinking otherwise!
He snuck a look at Levi and saw that Levi didn’t seem to be angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, the Black family was excited beyond belief.
Firstly, the Caesar family’s onslaught is successfully thwarted.
Secondly, all the powerful figures are praising our boy, Russell!
This is such a blessing to the Black family!
“Long live the Black family! With Russell here, the Black family will stand tall for years to come! I now formally declare Russell as the next head of the family!”
Right then and there, Meredith appointed Russell as the new head of the Black family in front of everyone without any regard for Bailey and the rest.
Even so, Bailey and the rest didn’t complain about it.
With Russell’s capabilities, he will bring the Black family to greater heights, and we’ll all benefit from that.
“Mr. Cronan, what do you think about that?” Meredith asked.
Tim smiled and replied, “That works! He’s competent enough to take on that role!”
The Black family cheered excitedly, but Caitlyn and Aaron couldn’t bring themselves to feel happy about it.
They only managed to stand up for themselves when Hades and Tim arrived, both of whom had intimidated the Caesar family.
Naturally, they thought that Levi was the one who planned this, so a sense of pride overwhelmed them as they wanted to brag about their son-in-law to everyone.
However, in the end, Levi had nothing to do with it, and instead, Russell was the one who took the credit.
It was only natural they couldn’t accept that “fact”.
Levi came in and turned the tide of battle, but in the end, it had nothing to do with him!
I-I don’t know what to say about this…
Zoey felt the same way as them.
She thought that Levi led them all to victory, but the credit was forcefully snatched away from him.
Meanwhile, Abigail couldn’t take it anymore.
Levi was the mastermind behind this! Russell had nothing to do with it!
“Grandma, Levi was the one who called them. Undeniably, Russell deserves some credit, but Levi should be the one recognized for it,” Abigail said to everyone in a huff and shocked everyone.
It did seem like Levi was the one calling the shots back then.
In hindsight, Russell had nothing to do with it…
Bailey retorted out of displeasure, “Abigail, what are you talking about? Mr. Cronan and Mr. McKay admitted that they came for Russell’s sake, so what does it have to do with Levi?”
Abigail snickered. “Uncle, tell me then, why did Levi make the call earlier?”
