The Protector III

"Understood!"

The four of them nodded.

"Give me a list of all the forces that are stirring up trouble in South City recently. I want to get rid of them once and for all!" Levi ordered.

"Yes, sir. I will get to the bottom of this," Phoenix replied.

"After Phoenix has identified them all, Kirin, please organize a banquet and invite them all under the name of Neil Atkinson. Let them decide the venue." Levi said to Kirin.

Kirin nodded in acknowledgement.

Meanwhile, two breaking news spread like wildfire in the South City.

The first one was: The Black family and the Caesar family will engage in a life-and-death fight one week later.

The second one: Neil Atkinson from the Morris Group had arrived at the South City and had invited all the influential forces in the city to a banquet.

The piece of news on the fight between the Caesar family and the Black family did not have any suspense to it.

There was no doubt that the Black family would be wiped out of the South City a week later!

However, nobody had expected the second-in-command of the Morris Group would come to the South City.

Nobody knew what was going on.

The influential forces, who were invited to the banquet, were puzzled as well.

They did not know what was up Morris Group's sleeves and started to engage in discussions with each other.

After a while, they came to a conclusion - that the Morris Group was here at South City for a foothold as well.

"Impossible! We will not tolerate such a thing!"

"We have not touched the North Hampton as well. How could they mark their territory here?"

This time, the forces were oddly allied on this front.

It was mainly because Yates's departure had cleared off quite some space for the emergence of a new dominating force.

The local forces did not wish for others to make a mark on their very own piece of land.

The outsiders would have to step over their dead bodies.

"The Morris Group is really naïve to let us decide the venue. Do they have a death wish?"

"What kind of idiot he is to leave this to us?"

"What if we set the venue at Jagged Club?"

All of the leaders burst into a laugh.

They found it amusing because Jagged Club was actually the largest underground boxing arena in South City.

It was full of the finest underground boxers in the East.

They planned to make it a trap for the Morris Group.

All of them agreed on triumphing over the Morris Group at the Jagged Club three days later, and that included beating Neil Atkinson to death.

"Brothers, let us show our trump card and let them witness the locals' power!"

"Sure, we can't let them leave South City well and alive. How dare they think of taking over the South City?"

They were anticipating the sight of Morris Group swarmed by thousands three days later.

On the other hand, the Black family was still shrouded in gloom.

They were so disheartened that they skipped dinner altogether.

The Blacks pinned all their hopes on Logan. Even then, they knew their chances were slim.

Since Logan's grandfather had retired, his words did not carry much weight as they used to.

Even though the Zachs family indeed had a great network, they would probably not risk offending the Caesar family just because of the Blacks.

All of a sudden, Meredith turned to glance at Zoey and Abigail, "Didn't the two of you say that he would come back? Where is he?"

"Um..." Abigail was at a loss for words.

"Grandma, don't worry! Levi will be back after resolving the trouble he caused," Zoey replied in a determined tone.

She had just gotten news from Iris saying that Neil from the Morris Group was coming to the South City, and she planned to contact him for help.

Hence, she seemed confident in her reply just now.

"Zoey, why won't you believe that he's escaped? Let me be frank with you, I've asked for people to track him down, and there's no sign of him in South City..."
