Chapter 2495 Show Me Some Respect
“Alright, we’ll carry on with the preparation of the ceremony!”
Donald turned around once he instructed the rest to get ready. “You need to stop getting full of yourself! I’ll wait until you bow before me!”
It turned out Eustace and the elders, who were quite a distance away from the crowd, were aware of the things going on as well.
Shortly after the session, Zoey reprimanded Levi, “You need to keep your anger to yourself in spite of the grudges you’re holding against them! It’s impossible for you to defy them ever since the day you swore allegiance to the Garrison clan! Just forget about everything until you’re on par with them in terms of strength!”
The rest of the party added in a callous tone, “Since you’ve made up your mind to join the clan, just stop trying anything rash!”
Levi was confused as they wouldn’t stop picking on him when he was the one in charge of the clan.
Hello? I’m not trying to join the clan when I’m the freaking person in charge of the clan! They’re the ones who need to show me some respect!
Zoey got in touch with Forlevia and brought her home from The Cardinal Hall in the evening to get everything ready for the ceremony.
Once Zoey roused from her sleep in the morning, she suggested, “Since we’re not members of the Garrison clan, I think it’s time for us to leave!”
Shortly after she made herself clear, she left with the rest as she was afraid the man she held dear in mind would feel embarrassed if they were around.
After all, he would have to get down on his knees in front of his foe in another few hours. She was certain he wouldn’t want others there to witness such a humiliating scene.
“H-Huh?”
Donald was confused by the departure of Levi’s close acquaintances when he thought it was a great opportunity to humiliate Levi in front of them.
To his surprise, they made something up and justified their departure at the last minute. He couldn’t even think of anything else to stop them.
Nonetheless, Donald was thrilled by the thought of Levi getting down on his knees in front of him, addressing him in a courteous manner.
After all, Levi had always been known as an arrogant man. He thought it was something worthy of boasting in front of others if Levi were to kneel in front of him.
The ceremony would be held at the ancestral shrine of the Garrison clan at Oakland City. There were a total of nine seats available for the leaders of the family.
The one in the middle was for Donald as he had the highest status.
Then, it was Tyrone and the rest.
Levi would have to bow to all of them.
Soon, members of the clan gathered.
Donald remained standing at the entrance instead of joining the rest in the hall.
He continued surveying the surroundings. “Where’s Levi? Why isn’t he anywhere to be seen yet?”
Half an hour later, Levi finally showed up with Forlevia next to him. He brought along something to eat since he had yet to have his breakfast. It seemed as if he couldn’t care less about the ceremony.
Donald yelled the moment he saw Levi, “What the hell do you think you’re doing? Aren’t you aware you’re freaking late for twenty minutes? Are you trying to challenge the authority of the clan? If that’s the case, just get the hell out of our sights! The clan doesn’t need someone as arrogant as you!”
The members in the hall turned around and looked at Levi in disgust because they were of the same idea as Donald.
He’s not supposed to be late for such an important ceremony! There’s no way we’re going to acknowledge him since he’s trying to challenge the authority of the clan!
They thought it was necessary to come up with something to teach Levi a lesson to behave himself. Otherwise, Levi wouldn’t take them seriously.
Sneering, Levi asked in return, “Huh? What’s the matter? It’s not a big deal for sleeping in, is it?”
“How dare you make it sound as if it’s not a big deal? You’re a disgrace to the family! Never claim to be my son in front of others!” Tyrone announced at the top of his lungs.
Levi ignored Donald and marched into the ancestral shrine, taking a seat next to the leaders of the clan with his legs crossed.
He glanced at those in front of him and asked, “Shall we begin?”
