Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 989
A fight was about to break out as the tense atmosphere enveloped every one of them.
If the Garrison clan made the first move, the top hundred prominent families would not back down, even if such actions would cost them their lives.
The Garrison clan fighters were still waiting for Edward’s command.
However, the man didn’t utter a word even after the Jones family’s cars disappeared out of their sight.
What’s happening? Has Mr. Edward given up? Are we not going to kill them?
The fighters were baffled.
Why should the Garrison clan fear these men from South Hampton? Back then, even Caleb could handle them single-handedly.
Staring at Edward, Xabian said, “Give it a try. I don’t mind sacrificing my life fighting against you.”
All the men on Xabian’s side glared at the fighters, ready for a fight to the death.
In the end, Edward didn’t give the killing command, allowing the Jones family’s cars to drive away.
“Retreat!” Xabian instructed, and the top hundred prominent families left in unison.
Soon, only Edward and his fighters were left standing there.
“Mr. Edward, why didn’t you give us the command to kill them?”
Puzzled, his men questioned him.
Edward heaved a sigh. “I don’t understand why the top hundred prominent families stood up for Emma. What makes them so determined to do so? They didn’t relent, even after we warned them.”
The others couldn’t understand why that had happened either. “We have nothing to fear, Mr. Edward. They only had a few thousand men. It wasn’t a threat to us at all.”
“Yes, I’m aware of that. But if we chose to start a fight, both of us would’ve gotten hurt badly. After all, there are only dozens of men with us now. They outnumbered us greatly. Besides, the news will get about if we make a big deal out of this.” Edward analyzed the situation and broke it down for the fighters to understand.
“You’re right. If we pushed them over the edge, they might tell the whole Erudia about our deeds.”
“But are we just going to endure their disrespect?”
Edward sneered, “What else can we do? Kill them? Do you think that is possible? Let’s head back first. We need to strategize our next move.”
This time, the Garrison clan had lost miserably.
We could’ve killed them without breaking a sweat, but the prominent families from South Hampton saved them. Something is not right. Back then, Caleb alone could oppress the entire South Hampton, but the people are now willing to risk their lives to protect the mother-and-son duo. There must be something fishy going on.
Meanwhile, the Jones family’s cars had arrived at the Jones residence.
Emma was still in a state of bewilderment.
Why did the prominent families in South Hampton protect me? They even had the nerve to go against the Garrison clan.
Before she could piece the pieces together, she found herself in front of the ancestral shrine.
There was a set of complicated procedures to go through in accordance with the family law. Nevertheless, Michael couldn’t wait any longer to write his daughter’s name on the family register.
He couldn’t help shooting a few glances at Levi.
However, the latter simply stroked Mia’s head and said, “Make it simple.”
Mia nodded in agreement. “Right, let’s make it simple.”
After getting approval from both Levi and the head of the family, Michael simplified the procedures.
Before the last step of the reinstatement, Emma called out to Michael, causing everyone to turn and look at her with perplexed expressions.
“Father, are you sure about reinstating me?” she asked.
“Yes, I’m positive.”
Her father nodded firmly.
“But the Garrison clan has yet to agree to this. If you do it, you’re going against them, and they’ll certainly place the blame on us. Aren’t you or the Joneses scared?” she asked.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already thought it through. How can I let my daughter and grandchild be orphaned and homeless? I’ll fight against the Garrison clan if they ever blame us. I’ll do whatever it takes to reinstate you.”
Levi nodded in agreement. “Why should we be afraid of the Garrison clan?”
