THE PROTECTOR
Chap 63's

Bugh!

Philip fell to the floor.

Misty and Kit were screaming hysterically.

“I want the three of you to come to Morris's grave and repent for three more days.  Obey me, and I can consider saving your life.  Otherwise, all of you will end up like him!”  Levi patted Holly's cheek. ‘they should pay for their sins with their lives.  But I want them to repent in front of Morris's grave first.’

After that Levi and his men left the place, and dragged Philip's unconscious body with them.

Holly and the others were glued to the spot and were constantly shivering.

They never want to be stuck in a terrible situation again in their lives.

Levi said to Francis after they left the Lufthansa Club.  "Buy me the coffin." 

Next day.

A commotion broke out in front of the Garrison family home in the morning.

The scream shocked every member of the Garrison family.

Joseph Garrison rushed to the front door in his pajamas.  "What's going on?"  Everyone is confused too.

They were horrified to see the coffin placed in front of the manor entrance.  The striking red color of the coffin was a terrifying sight to behold.

The Garrison family guards looked at the coffin carefully.  No one knew what was inside the coffin because none of them dared to approach.

"Who sent this coffin here?"  shouted Joseph.  ‘Who would dare provoke the Garrison family?  Are they trying to bring death to justice?’

“This must be Levi's doing, Dad!  He sent us a warning.” Jaycob said coldly.

"Absolutely.  It must be him!  Who else would dare to do this?”

Joseph ordered.  “Someone opens the coffin.  I want to know what's in it.”

But no one dared to step forward because they were afraid of running out of sense.  What if it's a bomb?

Bryan Garrison wanted to leave, but he hesitated.

At that moment, Rick Garrison, with his gentle appearance, approached the coffin and pushed the cover.

Everyone gasped when they saw the body lying inside the coffin.

"That's Philip Hardy."  Rick immediately recognized the man.  "What?"  Everyone is surprised.

“Levi definitely has evidence that can track them.  I have to ask Holly Nelson directly now.” Rick said.

Holly, Misty, and Kit arrive at the Garrison family home after a while.  They explain everything and deduce Levi's abilities to the Garrison family.

“He's a scary guy.  There were a lot of bodyguards from overseas beside him last night.  The professional hitmen we hire are like toddlers when facing them!”  Holly told me about the horrible experience.

“Hmph!  That's nothing to be afraid of.  Can he exceed the amount of power of our family? ” Bryan and others unaffected.

Rick expressed his thoughts calmly.  “After all, we have to be more careful.  I got acquainted with a group of mercenaries from abroad.  I'll bring them here because we have free time. ”

Holly and her friends can finally relax after realizing the Garrison family's ample preparations.  “How dare Levi ask us to repent?  He should have gone to Hell! ”

"I can't wait to see the surprise my son will show us two days to come."  Ben Garrison and his wife smirked in satisfaction.  They were Levi's adoptive parents, but they always treated him like a servant.

Bryan and Victoria laughed wickedly.  “Oh, how we hope the time will run faster!”

...

While at home, Levi receives a call from Zoey, asking her to visit the construction site.

Surprisingly, Levi only saw Nueve's men working when he arrived.  Zoey's workers are invisible.

Levi walked up to Zoey and asked.  "What the hell is going on?"

"What the hell is going on?  It's all because of you!  My workers found out about my expulsion from the Lopez family after the media published the news.  They didn't want to be dragged into this mess, so they broke down temporarily.  The same thing happened at Imperial Meadows.  Even my secretary left her job.  What am I supposed to do now?"  Zoey looked into Levi's eyes.

Levi could understand the sentiment of the workers.  The Garrison family was notorious for their cruelty.  No one wants to offend them.  It's certain they want to leave because the Lopez family threw Zoey away to save themselves.

Levi scratched his head in embarrassment.  "I'm sorry.  I'm not considering this incident.”

“Are you finally aware of the consequences of your carelessness?  Why the hell don't you want to beat me up?  Are you not satisfied with our current lifestyle?  The Garrison family didn't bother you, and I was given the opportunity to handle this big project.  We have a great life, so why should you try so hard to ruin it?”  Zoey bombards Levi with a series of questions.

Levi took a deep breath and replied with a smile.  "You're right.  We live a peaceful life.  But what am I supposed to do about Morris's death?  Do you think I can be at ease, knowing how my best friend died and choosing not to do anything?  I, Levi Garrison, am an honorable man.  Aju did not provoke others intentionally, but they paralyzed me and faked crimes against me.  They put me behind bars and robbed everything from me.  So how can you expect me to stand up and see them get what they want?  You should be the one who knows me the most.  I have never taken anyone's property by force, but I will not let others step on Me and remain indifferent!  Especially if it concerns my best friend's life and my previous success.  I have to take back the items that have been taken from Me by all means!”

Zoey looked at Levi in disbelief.

He had gained enlightenment at that moment.  ‘I always ignore Levi's feelings.  He also bears a lot of burden.’

Zoey hugged Levi and sobbed in her arms.  "I'll stay by your side in joy and sorrow, Levi."  He glanced at the construction site and continued.  “I will probably lose my life in two more days.  So why should I care so much about all this stuff?

Levi is touched by Zoey's unwavering love for her.  “Don't worry, Zoey.  I'll handle this.”

"good.  I believe you."  Zoey says what she has to do because she wants to push Levi.  But he did not believe in Levi as he could not imagine his victory against the Garrison family.  ‘However, aju has strengthened my resolve to accompany her to the end, even if we will die together.’

The promised day was near in the blink of an eye.

Tomorrow is the day that Levi will face the Garrison family according to his vows.

Zoey prepared many dishes that night and even brought out the best wine they had.

Levi suddenly said after he sipped a few glasses of wine.  “Tomorrow will be the beginning of our glory days, Zoey.  Should we give your family another chance to join us? ”

"You…"

Zoey's first instinct is to rebuke Levi.  He still talks big!  But Zoey smiled warmly after she considered the possibility of them dying together tomorrow. 

"Thul?  Will we succeed?” 

‘I have to do my best to please her in our last moments.’
