As soon as the words left Levi’s mouth, a deep silence befell the crowd.
As stunned as they were, Thierry and George couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you talking to us?”
“Yes! Get the hell out right now!” Levi ordered as he stood and walked away.
Thierry and George exchanged a smile before following suit.
“No one is to follow!” they shouted to the crowd.
Deep down, Thierry and George were bubbling with excitement.
In the past, they felt so oppressed around Levi that they never dared to speak their minds.
However, now that Levi was just an ordinary man, it was their golden opportunity to get back at him.
Soon, Thierry and George had followed Levi into a secluded corner.
“What’s the matter, Levi? Not happy with us? Do you want to beat us up?” Thierry asked before bursting into laughter with George.
Levi’s lips curled into a devious smile as he scoffed, “You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that.”
“Of course we do. Do you think you’re still in power, Levi? Take a good look at yourself. You’re nothing but an ordinary person now, so stop trying to boss us around! What a joke!”
Levi glared at the two men and asked, “Did you two call me a baby-making tool earlier?”
“Oh yes, don’t you think there’s a lot of value in that? We do hope you’ll give us a few more kids, and hopefully, they’ll all be like Evie!”
“You will be so highly revered, and everyone will be looking forward to all the kids you’ll be busy making! Hahaha…”
Tickled by their jokes, Thierry and George doubled over with laughter.
It felt exhilarating knowing that the person who had once lorded over them was now being humiliated by them.
“So you think that’s funny?” Levi asked flatly.
“Oh, it’s so funny! Of course—”
Bang! Before Thierry could finish his sentence, a punch had landed squarely on his mouth.
At that instant, blood splattered out of Thierry’s mouth, and a few of his teeth flew out as well.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Levi immediately followed up with several consecutive slaps until his face turned into nothing but a bloody mess.
“Levi Garrison! What the hell are you doing?” George bellowed.
“And you too!” Levi shouted before appearing in front of George.
Bam!
Levi raised his leg and sent George flying with a devastating kick.
It was just one kick, but the force from it had nearly killed George.
Thierry and George were dumbfounded. Everything that Levi had done was not what an ordinary man could do.
Indeed, Levi was no ordinary man.
It was what others had thought, but Levi had never attested to that.
“Is this how you talk to me?” Levi asked with a smirk.
Thierry and George instantly got on their knees and begged for forgiveness. “No, we would never. We’re sorry! We were wrong!”
“Watch your mouths. If you don’t want them, let me know, and I’ll smash them into your heads!”
With his stark warning issued, Levi turned and left.
Back at the banquet, the rest of the guests were chatting among themselves.
“Hey, haven’t Levi and the other two been gone for a while now? I hope nothing bad has happened.”
“Haha, I’m sure it’s because the two of them are teaching Levi a lesson.”
Everyone threw their heads back in raucous laughter as they continued with their gossip.
Even Cora and Meredith chimed in, “Levi is getting way too arrogant. I’m glad someone’s teaching him a lesson!”
“Exactly! And what’s wrong with calling him a baby-making tool? That’s the only thing he’s good for,” Caitlyn added.
It seemed like the more Zoey climbed the ranks, the more everyone had to say about Levi.
Seeing how worried Zoey had become, Mia couldn’t help but comfort her, “Don’t worry, Zoey. They won’t dare to do anything to Levi!”
Just then, Thierry and George had made their way back to the banquet and ordered, “From now onward, nobody is to disrespect Levi!”
Cora gasped as soon as she saw her brother. “Thierry, what happened to your mouth?”
