THE PROTECTOR
Chap 3

It doesn't make sense!

Levi's courage almost drove Zoey and her parents crazy. After being locked up for six years, did he end up losing his mind?

"good.  In that case,” said Zoey while thrusting her phone directly to Levi.  “Then prove it!  I want to see how you get the Garrison family to bow their heads with just one word!”

"I ..." Levi's stunned.

It was true that he could exterminate the Garrison Family with his words, but he had given them a month's time; it would be too presumptuous to destroy them now.

"Look, you can't do it, can you? Then never talk big if you can't!" Zoey smashes her phone to the ground, signaling her wrath.

Afterwards, his parents encouraged Levi. "Go now. You're not welcome here. We have a family banquet to attend to! "

"No. Mom, Dad, let him in! "

"What do you mean, Zoey?"

"I'm not getting married again. Husband's back. " ... Aaron and Caitlyn couldn't talk, so they could only let him in.

After that, Zoey took Levi into her room. "Because you came back, you're still my husband. I don't care about gossip. Besides, I believe you're innocent, and anyone with a careful eye can see that it was the garrison family that framed you! " Levi could feel the warmth in her heart.

He believed it, and it was more than enough for him. "But you have to promise me to start from zero and low. I believe you will achieve something great with your abilities! I'll give you five years! "

"That's not necessary" Levi said. "Give me a month. In a month, I'll de- "

" Quiet! I don't want to listen to your unreasonable and unrealistic speech! Why can't we be realistic? " Zoey yelling. "Even you have nothing now, as long as you take it step by step, I believe you will return to your feet!" Levi kept quiet obediently.

"I bought you six years ago." Zoey pulled out a suit from the closet. "Replace immediately and follow me to the family banquet!"

....

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Levi fully dressed, Aaron and Caitlyn are spontaneously dissatisfied.

Zoey was holding onto Levi's arm.  “Mom, Dad, Levi is my husband now!  I'll make it clear to Grandpa tonight!”. Aaron and Caitlyn stared intently at Levi, sighing helplessly, "Haahhh!"

The Lopez family banquet was held at Golden Port Restaurant, where they rented the entire restaurant. In fact, the Lopez family is not as strong as the Garrison family, but they are considered above average in North Hampton.

When Zoey and her family arrived at the main hall, they were greeted with strange and condescending gazes. In the past, when Zoey and Levi married, Aaron's family status was the highest in the Lopez family.

But after Levi's downfall, Aaron's family has undergone major life changes, and their status in the Lopez Family nosedived sharply and they became a subject of ridicule, especially during family events.

"Look!  Is that Levi next to Zoey?”

"Yes!  It really is him!  He's been released from prison?”

All eyes were on Levi. Harry, the head of the Lopez family, snorted and turned a blind eye to the four of them. The old man's focus now was Fabian, his eldest son, and his family.

Especially because Fabian's son-in-law, Samuel Robertson, was of mixed ethnic origin and had lived abroad. This time, Harry will match Zoey to Samuel's younger brother Chris, who has seen Zoey with his greedy eyes at the moment.

Without noticing them, Aaron and his family could only find a seat first. Just as they were about to take a seat, a voice sounded.  “No, Aaron.  You can't sit here.” It was a memorial to Henry, the second oldest son of the Lopez family.

"What?"

"There's a rule of sitting for a family banquet this time." Aaron was confused.  "How's it?"

“There are four tables for family banquets!  And it was decided according to the contribution of the family! ”

“For example, the first table is given to the family who contributed more than five million to the family in one year; one million for the second table, one hundred thousand for the third table, and the, and less than a hundred thousand for the last table, or perhaps it can be said no contribution at all!”

Hendri smiled cynically.  “Our family made a huge profit this year, and we have contributed about five million to the family.  So excuse me, because this table belongs to us.”

“Of course, Kalia can also sit at the first table without contributing.  That is if your family has tens of millions of assets.”

"Unfortunately, we are sure you cannot see your family's situation now" mocked Maddison, Henry's wife 

“Bu, Dad, as far as I know, Uncle Aaron and his family did little to contribute to the family the last year” said Shaun, Henry's son, walking with a glass in his hand. 

“Their company went bankrupt, and they even borrowed over two million from Grandpa.  Obviously, this is a negative contribution.  It's not fair to have them sitting at the fourth table!  I would argue to add a fifth seat for negative contributors!”

"Yes I agree!" The other Lopez family agreed.

“OK, we'll do the opinion Shaun says!  This will motivate you!” Harry gave his consent.

“Quick and sit down.  Don't just stand there and embarrass yourself.”  Harry glared at Aaron. Therefore, Aaron and his family walked to the fifth table calmly.

“Which table should be occupied by ten billion contributors?”  levi asked suddenly, while pulling Zoey's arm. Levi was the only five-star God of War, and the wealth to him was only a number.

In fact, he did not know exactly how much he had, but he could still casually pay ten billion for the family contribution on behalf of Aaron's family.

As soon as Levi said that, everyone was astonished at his statement. After a moment of silence, the crowd developed into an incredible belly laugh. “Ten billion?  You must be kidding me!  Even the Garrison Nobles family might not have that much money!”

"This kid must have had a screw loose in the head to come here and embarrass himself!"

"Hey, Aaron. Did you know that you have a daughter-in-law worth ten billion? Hahaha ..”. Sensing the mocking and insulting gazes of those around, Aaron and his family hoped the ground could swallow them.

It's shameful! Too embarrassing! Zoey's temperament ignited, and her eyes lit up furiously. "Levi Garrison, is it not enough for you to talk big at home and now you come here and humiliate me? Do you think you haven't felt enough after all these years? " Zoey trembled as tears quietly flowed down her cheeks.

"But I have ten billion!" Levi said helplessly.

At this moment, no one bothered to listen to Levi's words because the star of the day, son-ipar Fabian, had arrived.

Everyone, including Harry, went to the entrance to greet him. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting." Samuel wore an apologetic expression.

"Your flight's almost ten hours late. What's up ? " Jon asked with attention.

Samuel smiled. "Grandfather, you don't know? The great Big Shot has arrived in North Hampton, and North Hampton Airport is closed for eight hours.”

" What? Is there such a thing? "

"Who's The Big Shot, who even he can shut down the airport, Samuel?" Harry asked with a smile.

"Not only that. It is said that a hundred planes delivered private jets from the great man, and there were a hundred thousand people guarding the airport. "

"Crazy!"

"What?" The crowd was shocked.

"He was the Chief Commander of the Nine Regions Military, the God of War Erudia. Haha, You may not believe me if I say this, but I met this great man when I was meeting overseas, and we even exchanged numbers.  I didn't expect him to take the post in North Hampton!  I'll ask her to hang out sometime to support the Lopez family.  That way, you will get a foothold in North Hampton in no time,” Samuel said arrogantly.

"OMJ!  That's just amazing!  How do you know someone like him?”

"My sister-in-law is so cool!"

“Betting the daughter-in-law of the Lopez family!  Of course, you can do it!”

Everyone looked at Samuel respectfully; the old man was getting impressed, Aaron and Caitlyn were envious of Fabian's son-in-law, and Zoey was envious as well. But he believes that in five years, Levi can also make his grandfather proud.

However, unbeknownst to them, Levi was actually barely able to hold back his laughter. This boy knew enough that I had arrived. But his ability to fabricate crap is even more impressive.

“You mean, you know the God of War?”  Levi asked.

Samuel lifted his head.  “Yes, we drank together.  Is there a problem?"

Levi chuckled.  “Then why don't I recognize you?”
