Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 988
Such a massive formation startled everyone, including Edward and his fighters.
Never had they expected there to be so many men waiting in ambush.
Despite their unparalleled capabilities, Edward and his fighters couldn’t help panicking on the inside.
The Joneses were taken aback by such a sight, but they soon snapped back to their senses and were over the moon when they recognized the faces of some of those men.
Among the crowd stood an old man – he was no one other than Xabian.
Xabian stepped forward and bellowed, “Xabian Goel and the top hundred prominent families from South Hampton are here to welcome Ms. Jones.”
The rest of the men gathered around him followed his lead and shouted, “Welcome home, Ms. Jones!”
Their deafening voices shook everyone present to the core.
Meanwhile, Emma gaped at them in astonishment and disbelief.
What’s going on here?
Xabian cast a glance at Michael. “What are you waiting for? Take Ms. Jones home now.”
Snapping out of his trance, Michael glanced at Edward, hinting to Xabian that the latter and his fighters were still in his way.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Xabian said in a cold voice, “Who dares stand in the way of the top hundred prominent families from South Hampton?”
“Yes! Who dares stop us from welcoming them home?” the others followed and yelled.
This is ridiculous!
Fury spiked within Edward at the sight of the huge crowd.
I thought the Joneses were the only ones who had the audacity to resist the Garrison clan. But now, even the top hundred prominent families from South Hampton are on Emma’s side. Are they trying to challenge our authority?
“Hold on. Don’t you dare leave!”
With a dignified expression, Edward scanned through Xabian and his men. “The Garrison clan demands Emma Jones’ and her son’s lives to be taken. Do you understand?”
“Leave now! No outsider is allowed to meddle in this matter, especially peasants like you,” someone from the Garrison clan reprimanded.
Hearing that, Xabian chuckled. “Firstly, South Hampton is our territory. Secondly, Ms. Jones is under our protection, so one shall touch her.”
“That’s right! None of you can oppress us in our territory!”
“Michael, take them away! I’ll see who dares to stop you from leaving. We don’t go around stirring up trouble, but we’re not cowards. We’ll go all out to fight against anyone who provokes us!”
Xabian was adamant in his decision, undaunted by the fighters that were glaring his way.
The attitude of the top hundred prominent families enraged the members of the Garrison clan.
Since when does the Garrison clan from Oakland City have no authority here? Are these people mad? How dare they resist us and meddle in our affairs?
“Xabian, have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to poke your nose into the Garrison clan’s affairs?” Edward scowled.
“Yes, I’m sure. Whoever lays a hand on Ms. Jones and Mr. Garrison will be considered our enemy. We’ll fight with all we have even if we’re no match for you! So what if you’re members of the Garrison clan? We’re not afraid of you! We’ll not let you off since you’re causing havoc in our territory.”
Xabian squared them up, showing the resolution of the prominent families to war to the knife.
Edward was now smoldering with rage.
There’s surely a bunch of lunatics if they’re crazy enough to cross the Garrison clan!
The Jones family’s cars began on their journey once again, ignoring Edward and his fighters, who were bottling up their wrath while watching them leave.
The fighters clutched their weapons tightly, prepared to pounce on and kill Levi and his mom on Edward’s command.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The entire place was in pin-drop silence; everyone’s racing heartbeats were almost audible.
