Chapter 924 In This Together
“It’s all over now. Get as far away as possible, and don’t ever return. Seeing you once more is enough for me. I have no other regrets.”
Emma had completely broken down. “If you don’t leave now, they’ll return to kill you.”
She was not to contact the outside world, much less allow anyone to find her. That was the rule.
She was told that anyone who found out about her existence would be killed, and that was how the Garrisons ensured that nobody would ever find her.
“To tell you the truth, I came here to take you away with me, so pack your things. We’re leaving, Mom.”
“What?”
Emma could not believe what she had just heard. I hadn’t even dared to leave this block, why would I leave the city?
She had been imprisoned in that city for nearly thirty years, and the invisible shackles on her had become part of her.
Even in her dreams, she could not escape the purgatory. I don’t have the courage to do it.
Anything but leaving Margo City!
“I understand what you’re trying to do for me, but the Garrisons have set the rule that I’m not to step out of this city, ever! If I do, they’ll kill you. You saw the tombstone, right? That’s for you!” Tears were already dropping like rain from Emma, but the idea amused Levi.
“Nobody can kill me. Not yet anyway.”
The man had survived the battlefield for six years, and no matter how bad things got, he would always come back alive. Thus, why the heck would I be afraid of the Garrisons? Besides, a small place like Margo City doesn’t scare me.
“Listen to me, Mom. One way or the other, I’m going to get you out,” insisted Levi.
“Do you know who’s keeping me here? He’s the most powerful man in the city, The King of Margo City himself! The Garrisons got the man to imprison me for nearly thirty years. He’s practically the city itself! He has eyes all over the place and he knows exactly who is in his city.”
Emma continued to dissuade her son. “I know that you’re an extraordinary man, but you’re no match for The King of Margo City, let alone the Garrisons. Levi, listen to me and leave now!”
Even Zoey was starting to worry for her husband. How is Levi going to fight against all of these people?
“Levi, maybe we should leave first and come up with a plan later,” suggested Zoey.
“You do that, Zoey, but I’m staying,” insisted Levi.
“No. We’re all in this together!”
