“These men are stone-cold killers. As long as you pay them, they’ll be willing to kill anyone you want! Nueve and Trey are nothing compared to them!”
Phineas snapped his fingers, and thirty men filed into the room.
Each was solidly built with bulging muscles, not a hint of fat on any of them. Their faces were blank, but a murderous look was apparent in their eyes.
Even Wesley was taken aback at the intense and menacing aura they projected.
Never had he ever seen such malicious-looking men, even in the South Warzone.
Excitement coursed through him and he exclaimed, “Alright! If this mission succeeds, I promise I’ll make it up to you in the future!”
For the rest of the night, he was so excited that he could hardly sleep.
The next day.
Levi, Zoey, and Iris left the house together to head to work.
“I’ll make an exception today and take you to work,” Iris offered as she opened the car door and gestured for the man to get in.
Zoey nodded in permission, asking him to get in as well.
At that moment, in a private villa somewhere.
Nueve was lying on a bed with two women snuggled up on each side.
Crash!
The window was smashed open before ten men charged inside aggressively.
Nueve leaped to his feet, shouting, “Who are you?”
Wham!
The man in the lead, an expert in Muay Thai, knocked Nueve unconscious with one blow.
Meanwhile, in another private condominium apartment.
Trey had just gotten out of bed when someone knocked on his front door.
He had barely opened the door when several men barged inside. Before he could react, they knocked him out cold.
Back at Bayview Garden, Iris had only just started up the car and driven a few meters when –
Screech!
A van suddenly blocked her way, causing her to slam on the brakes.
Ten men exited the van before making their way to her car.
“Roll down the windows, now!”
Terrified, Iris did as ordered with trembling hands.
By contrast, Levi seemed completely unfazed. He still had an arm hanging out the window lazily.
The man in charge took out a photo and glanced between it and Levi. “You’re Levi Garrison?”
Levi nodded. “That’s me. What’s up?”
“Come with us quietly, or suffer the consequences!”
“Why should I?” Levi retorted.
“Because you pissed off someone!”
Frowning, Levi mused, “Who did I offend?”
Getting impatient, the man growled, “Hurry up and come with us! Don’t force our hands!”
“I can go with you, but at the very least tell me who it is?”
“Listen closely! You pissed off Sebastian Lopez of the South City Lopez family. Thus, you have to die today!”
The man directly yanked open the car door and dragged Levi out.
Levi did not resist, allowing himself to be taken to the van. He wanted to get a look at who was after him this time.
Slam!
The van door slammed shut before departing swiftly.
Iris could only stare off into space in shock.
Just then, Zoey came driving past.
Iris quickly hailed her. In a teary voice, she cried out, “Zoey! Something terrible has happened; Levi has been kidnapped!”
Zoey paled rapidly. “What? Levi was abducted?”
She felt herself grow faint at the thought.
Anxiety swamped her as she demanded, “Who did it? We have to save him!”
Iris repeated what she had heard earlier, “I think they said it was Sebastian Lopez of the South City Lopez family. I wonder who he is? The man also said that Levi had to die today!”
Zoey’s eyes brightened at the name. “The South City Lopez family? I have to find Grandpa; he’ll know what’s going on!”
Equally worried, Iris insisted, “Let me come too! Nothing must happen to Levi!”
Ever since he had saved her last night, she had changed her views on the man.
