Levi thought the whole situation ridiculous.
Does Damien really think he’ll emerge from this without any consequences?
Has he ever considered what I might have up my sleeve?
Damien has no clue as to who will be killing who.
“Hmm?” Damien froze.
I have already agreed to spare Levi’s life, but this incorrigible jerk is trying to push it.
“Alright, everyone heard that, right? He said he wanted to kill me, didn’t he? If I kill him now, I doubt my father will blame me for it. Haha…”
Just now, Damien was feeling despondent when he realized there was no way he could kill Levi without angering his father.
However, Levi had decided to dig his own grave.
This is excellent!
Damien burst into laughter.
“Levi Garrison, you’re asking to be killed, aren’t you? Don’t blame me for being too awful to you!”
“Men, go! Empty out his guts!”
Immediately, there was a loud clang as the men drew their swords.
At that moment, someone yelled, “Mr. Damien, there’s a woman outside who seeks your audience! Her name is Emma Jones!”
Very quickly, Emma arrived at the meeting hall.
She cried, “Mr. Damien, your father has already agreed to let the both of us off. You can’t go back on his word!”
“Yes, I’ve already let him go,” Damien said agreeably.
“Mom, leave by yourself first! He might have let me go, but I sure haven’t let him go!” Levi was adamant about killing Damien before leaving the place.
Emma threw herself onto the floor and grabbed the leg of his pants. “My son, I beg of you to stop kicking up a fuss! We need to leave now! Stop trying to play the hero! It’s your wedding day today! Think about Zoey and your child she’s bearing!”
Levi seemed to hesitate. He turned to gaze malevolently at Damien and spat, “Alright, count yourself lucky today that you managed to keep yourself alive! Now get out of my sight immediately! If I change my mind, I’m afraid you won’t get to leave North Hampton alive.”
Damien burst into laughter. “Haha…To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anyone as self-deluded as you are. Don’t worry, Levi. I’ll leave today but there will come another day when I’ll have you in the palm of my hand.”
Still guffawing, Damien continued, “Didn’t you say you wanted to go up against the Garrison clan itself? I’ll wait for you at the gates of the Garrison residence, then. Be there or be square!”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll definitely be there.”
With that, Levi left the villa with his mother, carrying the barely alive Dexter on his back.
Bang!
Damien was so enraged that he punched the wall next to him.
Almost instantaneously, the wall collapsed. With another loud rumble, the entire building collapsed in a huge puff of dust.
From this, everyone could see how much strength Damien possessed. He made an entire building crumble with his fist!
They could also see how furious Damien truly was. He couldn’t stand the idea that Levi had mocked him straight to his face, but he wasn’t allowed to murder him in retaliation.
“Mr. Damien, are we just going to leave it at that?” Vincent asked tremulously.
Even he couldn’t bear it anymore.
“If we don’t leave it at that, what else are we supposed to do? Now tell everyone to get lost!”
That very night, Damien left North Hampton.
He didn’t understand why his father had made such a strange decision.
When Damien asked his father previously, the latter gave him his permission to murder Levi.
After they finished making arrangements for Dexter, Emma received a phone call from Tyrone.
“I’ve let your people go. Isn’t it time for you to uphold your end of the bargain?” he asked coldly.
“Yes, I gave you my word. But I sure hope you won’t go back on yours!” Emma warned.
She was reminding him of the promise he broke years ago, when he said he would keep their son alive but then dumped Levi in the wilderness.
Tyrone replied frostily, “Oh, don’t worry, I won’t do that. Prepare yourself. I’ll be sending someone to pick you up soon enough.”
“Alright, then.”
The next morning, news spread all over town. Emma Jones was missing!
“This is bad!” Levi exclaimed, alarmed by the news.
Was this why Damien let me off so easily last night? There must be a reason.
It seemed the reason had something to do with his mother.
There was a possibility that his mother was in grave danger right now…
It was quite evident to Levi that Emma Jones had some past dealings with the Garrison family.
Otherwise, Damien would never have let him off so easily.
