Olivia nodded vigorously. “I’ve heard that he’s good. Let’s see if he has what it takes to become one of us. I don’t believe that he can beat Damien.”
“If he remains humble and works hard enough, he’ll possibly be able to join my family,” mused Tyrone.
I believe that he is a capable man. He is my own flesh and blood, after all.
“I don’t think so! Levi bows to no one, not even to the Garrison family. He’s far too arrogant.”
At that moment, Damien returned.
“Not even the Garrison family, you say?”
Tyrone and Olivia were taken aback because the Garrisons were the most powerful family in Erudia.
Anyone who refuses to submit to the Garrisons are either mad or suicidal.
“Damien, the bastard really said that?” questioned Olivia.
“I’ve heard about him for a while now. I’ve just never mentioned it. He’s challenged the Garrisons many times. He has even called me on the phone.”
“What? He called you?” asked Damien’s parents immediately.
“Yes. I never expected him to contact me. I’d thought that he wanted to apologize, but he merely called to threaten me. He’d said that if I told you anything about him and Emma, he would make us pay for it.”
Damien then repeated all of Levi’s threats to his parents.
When Damien was done, Tyrone punched the wall in anger.
Crack!
Suddenly, a web-like crack appeared on the wall.
“Never have I heard of anyone so arrogant!”
“And here I was, thinking about allowing him to join the family even though he was not qualified. How dare he threaten us like that!” Tyrone roared, his voice like thunder.
Olivia was equally as enraged. “Not only did he threaten Damien, rather, but he had also threatened our entire family! He’s got nothing on Damien, let alone our entire family. He can only dream of becoming as good as Damien.”
“No matter how hard he tries, he’ll never be as good as Damien,” agreed Tyrone.
Damien was Tyrone’s greatest pride because the family elders had said that he was the first genius to have been born in the family in a millennium.
How can Levi ever hope to compare to Damien?
There’s no way that’s possible!
“Don’t worry. Levi’s all bark with no bite,” assured Damien with a smirk. Hence, his parents nodded with satisfaction.
“You can count on me. I’ll prove to you that Dad was right to abandon Levi and his mother. That bastard is no match for me because I’m much more powerful than he is,” continued Damien.
“That’s my boy! Show that bastard what you can do.”
Tyrone was very pleased with his son.
“Don’t worry, Father. When he meets me, he’ll know what it means to be powerful. I’ll make sure that he’ll curse the day that he was born!” promised Damien.
