Damien looked towards the source of the voice.
As his eyes met with Levi’s, animosity filled the air.
In the small space, their gazes resembled sharp blades ferociously colliding with each other.
The tension in the air grew so thick it could be sliced with a blade.
This was the first time Levi came face-to-face with Damien.
The two half-brothers stared each other down, resembling old enemies.
They were filled with a sense of familiarity and foreignness at the same time.
“Huh? How dare you disrespect Mr. Damien? You’re courting death!”
Damien’s men who were flanking him disapproved of his behavior and wanted to kill him instantly.
In Oakland City, which was also the Garrison’s territory, no one dared to look Damien in the eye, let alone be speak to him in such a manner.
The way Levi was staring daggers at Damien was utterly disrespectful.
And disrespecting Damien meant death.
This was the rule set by the Garrison clan and everyone had to abide by it.
“Hold on!”
Damien waved a casual hand, gesturing for his men to stop.
Damien glanced at Levi and said, “You’re worse than I expected!”
“Especially when I saw the environment and people you’ve surrounded yourself with. It makes me even more disappointed!”
Levi’s smile broadened at that. “You’ve greatly disappointed me as well, because I’ve realized that you’re nothing but a child!”
Although Levi was only two years older than Damien, his experience in the past six years was something most people would never be able to gain even if they were given a lifetime.
Even someone with rich experiences such as Damien had to look up to him.
Hence, Damien really did seem like a child to him.
Absolutely childish!
Yet he wants to mess with me?
Levi wasn’t the least bit interested to play with a child.
Perhaps only Kenny and Tyrone Garrison would catch his attention, albeit barely.
“Is this all there is to the younger generation of the Garrisons?”
Levi spread out his hands.
“Hahahaha…” Out of everyone else’s expectations, Damien burst with laughter.
“I’ve long heard rumors saying that you were an insolent fool, and now I’ve seen it firsthand! You indeed live up to your reputation!”
Damien’s men cackled with laughter as well.
However, they were all mocking Levi.
A bas*ard child dares to look down on Damien?
Has he lost his mind?
Sure enough. People like him can’t differentiate between gold and dirt.
He is just a narrow-minded and ignorant pig.
His achievements in life would no doubt be limited as well.
Therefore, he’s not qualified to be associated with the Garrisons.
Damien scrutinized Levi and asked, “I wonder if you have the power to back your statement?”
“Of course I…”
Levi was about to answer when he was interrupted by Jason Lowe.
“Don’t speak too rashly, Levi! This is Mr. Damien you’re talking to! You obviously don’t know much about the Garrisons. Listen to me and stop provoking him!”
Even his close buddy, Mateo Jackman, advised him, “Levi, just bear with it. He’s not someone we can afford to offend.”
Emma came over to her son and offered him the same advice.
When Damien saw this, he laughed aloud. “It seems like there are some smart people here who know about my family’s influence!”
“They’re right, Levi. I’m not someone you can afford to offend. You really know too little about us. But once you get the gist of our power, you won’t be speaking so arrogantly anymore.”
Damien looked down his nose at Levi, sizing him up.
A murderous glint appeared in Levi’s eyes as one side of his mouth quirked up into a cold smirk.
Emma was holding onto him with a death grip.
“Son, don’t! We can’t offend them, so please bear with it!”
Damien’s gaze abruptly landed on Emma just then.
“So you’re Emma Jones! Tsk, tsk, tsk. To tell you the truth, my father’s taste back then was pretty bad. Or perhaps he was a blind fool. I mean, how could he have fallen for you?”
“Oh, I get it. You must’ve found a way to seduce my father, right?”
The moment these words left his lips, Damien felt the temperature around him drop sharply.
