The Protector III

524

Choi Hong-man's gigantic body resembled that of a beast's.

His booming voice sounded like thunder, and he gave off an extremely intimidating aura.

Everyone retreated out of fear, including Lauren, leaving Levi and Choi Hong-man in the middle.

Choi Hong-man glared at Levi, as though he were a predator, with Levi being his sole prey.

Seth looked on anxiously, knowing full well that he would be beaten to a pulp if he had faced off against Choi Hong-man.

He's an amazing fighter!

Levi's in deep trouble this time...

"You'll know the consequences in five days!" Levi declared with a smug grin. "Let's go!"

Levi turned around to leave, with Seth following him closely.

Boom!

Without warning, Choi Hong-man dragged Seth over and pinned him down, against a chair.

Seth froze up, his reflexes as an ex-military scout failing to kick in.

He could only stare at Choi Hong-man in shock as he was held hostage, in a tight grip against the chair.

Seth was utterly shocked.

He's too powerful!

He's stronger than I had thought!

Levi won't stand a chance against him!

We're done for...

"Who has given you permission to leave? The negotiations are not over yet!" Choi Hong-man bellowed, making the ground shake.

Lauren and her party roared in excitement.

Levi's manipulative tactics had made them hesitant to put forward their terms, and Choi Hong-man had proved that violence was the only way to get them out of this sticky situation.

"That's right!" Lauren jeered. "We haven't even put forward our terms yet! Why are you leaving?"

Lee Jung-jin scoffed. "That's really rude of you. Do you really think that we're going to back down so easily?"

"Yeah! You shouldn't be walking out just like that!"

The party from Triple Group started to grow cocky.

Choi Hong-man pointed at Levi and yelled in broken English, "You! Come! Sit!"

Levi grinned. "Can't you just let me leave?"

"Hahaha!"

Lee Jung-jin and Lauren exchanged looks and burst into laughter.

They glanced at Choi Hong-man to put across a signal to Levi that he would have to get past Choi Hong-man first before he could leave.

Lauren left the room after that.

Park Cheon-shin had given her two schemes for the negotiations and had instructed her to let Choi Hong-man threaten the Morris Group party if things went south.

In fact, the second scheme was to mobilize Choi Hong-man.

What was to follow after that was none of her business.

"Be gentle, Mr. Choi..." she had announced earlier on with a grin. "I need him to show up at my wedding."

Lee Jung-jin left after shooting Levi a look.

It was time for Choi Hong-man to shine.

The party from Triple Group filed out of the room and closed the door behind them.

"Did you hear me?" Choi Hong-man bellowed, glaring at Levi.

Levi merely stared at him. "Let that person go. This is not your country, and you have no right to act like you own the place!"

Levi's voice was calm yet authoritative, as though he was leading an army of a million men.

It could make anyone who was listening to him cower in fear.

Even Choi Hong-man was startled for a second, but he soon regained his footing quickly. "Hmph! I do not let people go easily! You too!"

He charged forward upon uttering those words.

Despite possessing a burly body, he moved at what seemed to be lightning speed. Before anyone could react, he had already grabbed Levi by the shoulders, ready to throw him onto a chair.

Levi was close to two meters tall, but that was nothing compared to the two-hundred-pound wall of muscle before him.

Seth and his allies closed their eyes in defeat.
