At the mention of Levi, Tyrone’s expression darkened.
How very unfortunate! This is supposed to be a blessed day for the Garrison clan yet that blasted brat is still coming!
A scornful look crossed Damien’s face as well.
To him, Levi was a nobody, not even someone worthy of being called an opponent.
Yet he was coming here today of all days!
Damien proposed to his father, “Chasing him away now would only humiliate us before the other families. Perhaps we should see what he wants to do first?”
“Yes.”
From his higher position, Tyrone could clearly see the plaza outside the gates. Presently, it was filled with a sea of vehicles and was even expanding as he watched.
He shouted, “Do you see that? This is how powerful the Garrison clan is! More than ten thousand people are here because we’re having a major event!”
All the members of the Garrison clan thought everyone was here because of their worship of the Garrisons.
Little did they know, most of the families were not actually here for them.
After a while, all the members of the Oakland City Garrison clan arrived.
“Is Elder Teneb here yet?” Tyrone questioned.
Damien, who had only just returned from the forbidden grounds, replied, “He says he’ll appear when it’s time.”
“Okay! If that’s the case, we might as well head outside and deal with Levi first!”
Hence, Tyrone led the council members down to the plaza in front of their gates.
At that moment, the plaza was crammed full of people from all the families. From the ancient families down to the prominent families, every single family came with their representatives and council members. The initially huge plaza was packed tight with the massive crowd.
In truth, most of the people there were completely in the dark about what was happening.
What were they doing here? Was something going to happen here today?
Humans tended to be like a herd of sheep, following what the rest of the flock did.
Since they had heard the other families were coming, they decided to join in too.
The eight ancient families were here to see what Teneb would decide. The Lehman family had a second reason to be there because they wanted to hear Levi’s explanation.
Those who knew Levi’s true identity were here to support him, of course.
Thus, the crowd could be roughly separated into four groups.
Everyone glanced at each other in confusion.
Tyrone had initially thought these people were here to worship the Garrison clan.
But upon stepping into the plaza, he got the feeling that something was off.
Even he was clueless as to what to do.
“Mr. Garrison! Where’s Levi Garrison?”
Dale was the first to break the silence.
Tyrone froze briefly before answering, “Mr. Lehman, Levi is not coming!”
Furious, Dale roared, “You mean that brat tricked us? He’s not even going to come?”
Zoey was visibly upset at that.
Bewildered, Tyrone queried, “Huh? Mr. Lehman, what do you mean by that?”
He was getting more and more confused.
What are these people doing here?
He was oblivious to the fact that Teneb’s announcement would have something to do with Levi and that was the reason why everyone was here.
“That brat said he would give my goddaughter an explanation today here at the Garrison clan ancestral compound! That’s why we’re here!” Dale retorted loudly.
Tyrone snapped back furiously, “But Levi isn’t here! I think he probably lied to you. There’s no way he dares to come here! If he does, I’ll make sure he won’t be able to leave this place alive!”
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, the sound of cheerful laughter rang out.
“Levi Garrison is here!” someone shouted.
Like the Red Sea that parted before Moses, the crowd split down the middle to allow a path for Levi.
Levi strode forward with a tense Emma close behind. Kirin and the other four were also following Levi.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The ground seemed to tremble under everyone’s feet.
The cause for the mini earthquake was Black Tortoise, who was carrying a coffin and a gravestone on his back.
Thump! Thump!
He threw the coffin and the gravestone on the ground before the Garrison clan compound’s gates.
Then, it was clear these were the exact same coffin and gravestone that Damien had sent to Levi previously.
Levi was returning them to him!
