The rest of the men at the scene rushed up and formed a human barricade in front of the mansion’s doors, so as to impede Levi and his company from entering.
In the meantime, Klaus was frightened out of his mind inside the mansion.
Just then, the butler brought a few people up to look for him.
“Mr. Gonzales, you can’t stay here. Come, we must escape at once! They’re going to be here any minute now!” the butler urged.
A look of despair took its place on Klaus’ face. “Even the Dual-Serrated Monks were no match for them. Who in South Hampton will be able to defeat them?”
“Where else can I run too, anyway?”
The butler answered, “There is one place!”
A sliver of hope entered Klaus’ eyes as he recalled something. He asked in an enthusiasm-laced voice, “Do you mean Peace Hotel?”
“Yes, that’s right! As long as you pass through the doors of Peace Hotel, you’ll be safe! No matter how powerful those men outside are, they won’t be able to harm you there! Peace Hotel provides first-rate protection services. No one would dare to cross them!”
“Take me there right now!”
“Yes. We will escape through the secret passageway and head toward Peace Hotel!”
The butler led Klaus out through a secret passageway.
Although The Three Musketeers were powerful in South Hampton to the point that even the Goel family was no match for them, they had still dug up a hidden passageway in Greenfield Mansion, just to be safe.
Such a passageway was made so that in the face of danger, they would have the means to escape.
The passageway was put into good use by Klaus today.
This showed how important it was to take precautionary measures.
Outside the mansion, more than a hundred men stood shoulder to shoulder as they blocked Levi and his party from passing.
Bang!
Black Tortoise hurtled forward like a chariot in the next second.
The human barricade was knocked over.
Crash!
The mansion’s doors were smashed into smithereens.
“None of you can stop us. So why even try?” Levi shook his head.
“If you want to kill my son, it’ll be over my dead body!”
As a last resort, The Three Musketeers used their bodies to hinder Levi and his men from moving forward.
“I don’t know what my son has said or done, Mr. Garrison, but I’ll apologize to you on his behalf. I only ask that you spare his life!”
The Three Musketeers could tell that Levi was no ordinary person.
Emma Jones’ son was no doubt a dragon in human skin.
They were no match for him.
They only wished that Klaus could keep his life.
If it meant that they would reach a peaceful settlement, they would willingly bow their heads in submission.
If peace were out of the question, they would then proceed to stall for as long as possible to give Klaus the necessary time to escape and seek refuge at Peace Hotel before Levi could get to him.
“Stalling for time, I see. It’s useless. No matter where he goes, I’ll still catch him!”
Levi grinned.
“Come on! You’ll have to get through past the three of us if you want to kill my son!”
The three of them still wanted to give Klaus more time, so they continued standing in Levi’s way.
“Get lost!” Levi roared angrily.
The Three Musketeers were thrown to one side.
Levi successfully entered the mansion with his men in tow.
