Dug Dugs!


Dug Dugs!


 …


Ashton, Trey, and Matthew, along with more than a hundred of their men, knelt down.


“This is all a misunderstanding.  Just misunderstood.”.


It was a scene spectacular enough to see over a hundred men kneeling, bending over their bodies and slamming their heads to the floor as they begged for forgiveness.


Zoey was so scared that she almost fainted. The transition between universes is no more real than this.


How could so many thugs turn into a bunch of crying babies at once?


"Zoey, why don't you go inside the villa and let them do their job?"  Levi advised.


The frightened Zoey happily accepted her advice and ran to the villa.


“Master, please, I really have nothing to do with this.  I am just someone hired by Mr. Garrison to act under his instructions.”.


 "Yes, we have nothing to do with this!"


 …


 Trey and his men desperately scapegoat Ashton by diverting all blame on him.


Ashton was so frightened that he spewed out a mouthful of blood.


"Let them go!"


What surprised Ashton, Trey, and Matthew was when they saw that Levi was the one giving the order.


His orders prompted the Azure Dragon to expel them, "Get out of here and don't let me see you again!"


It was obvious that it was not the Azure Dragon, but Levi, who called out.  Could Levi…


All of them point out one terrifying truth that they all fear.


Trey and his men fall and stumble as they escape the scene at their fastest speed, fearing they could end up with a bullet in their heads.


“Please let me go, L-Levi, I'm innocent too.  It was Ashton who..” Matthew tried to break away from Ashton as well.


"Tell me, Azure Dragon, how do we punish a traitor?"  Levi turned to the Azure Dragon and suddenly smiled.


"All traitors will be slaughtered!"  Azure Dragon let out a deafening roar.


But he knew it was too late.  This is the fate of traitors.  Matthew must die!


Matthew's cursed fate scares Ashton by day, who immediately kneels begging for his life, “We are family, my dear brother.  Forgive me for not knowing your true identity. ” exclaimed Ashton, “We are all waiting for you to come home.  I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you home again!”


Ashton plays the role of a loving older brother as his last attempt to save his own life.


"Don't you remember how you guys broke all my limbs and threw me down the street like a dying dog?"  Levi said cynically, "Should you treat your family?"


"Oh, it's just a misunderstanding, brother."  Ashton almost cried, "I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding!"


"Don't you just say that you want to sleep with my wife too?"  levi said as he walked closer to Ashton.


"It was just a joke," Ashton felt his legs become observant as he stuttered, "there's nothing but a joke, brother ..."


"What makes you think you can joke about something like that?" Levi dealt a deadly blow right in Ashton's face, which made him see the star and instantly faint.


“Send him back to Garrison!  Tell them that this is my first gift for them!” levi's orders, his face expressionless.


"Understand, Sir!"  Azure Dragon replied obediently.


"Good, Steven Shaw."  Levi looked at him with satisfaction.


"Greetings to you, sir!"  A shout from Steven Shaw led the entire First Metallic Regiment to raise their right hand uniformly to give a military salute.


Levi replied with standard respect.


When she entered the villa, what greeted her gaze was Zoey curled up on the sofa, trembling in fear.


The spectacular scene today had left him numb from shock.


He did not even have the courage to look out of the villa.


" It's okay now, Zoey."  Levi hugged him, “It's all over.  Villa is now ours.”


"Are you sure?"  Zoey raised her head, her tone uncertain.


"I'm sure!"  Levi assured him, “But I plan to tear down the house completely and rebuild it from scratch. There's no way we can move in now that those thugs have lived in the house before. ”


"I want to ask you something, Levi."  Zoey asked after she rearranged herself, "I want you to be completely open to me."


“Sure, what do you want to know?”


Zoey bit her lips in doubt, "What is your relationship with the God of War and the Azure Dragon?"  he demanded, "I want you to say nothing but the truth!"
