God Of War Pinnacle
Chapter 642

Levi smiled. "What's the hurry? I haven't even finished."

"You're slandering me! I have been celibate for many years," Landyn retorted angrily.

However, everyone stared at Landyn suspiciously.

The more agitated he was, the more guilty he made himself out to be.

Even his men hesitated as to whether they should take action.

Despite being filled with rage as he glared angrily at Levi, Landyn was at a loss as to what to do.

Just then, Fred stepped forward and pushed Landyn aside. He shouted at Levi, "Who do you think you are? Since when does my son's personal life need to be scrutinized by you?"

He continued, "Based on the Gates family rules, you have committed four crimes and will be punished accordingly."

"Firstly, you've trespassed on and disrupted my son's engagement banquet. Secondly, you claimed my son's fiancée as your wife. Thirdly, you slandered my son. And lastly, you disrespected the Gates family!" "The punishment for breaking the four rules is to have your four limbs broken on the spot."

The moment Fred passed the sentence, the elite warriors of the Gates family guarded the exits to prevent Levi from fleeing.

Fred then looked towards the Lopez and Black families. "The Gates family is not one to be messed with. Anyone from South City that challenged us will also be punished."

Both the Lopez and Black families trembled when they heard his words as they knew it was directed at them.

Landyn's mother was even more furious. She glared at Levi and barked, "Kneel before me!"

She was royalty from a foreign country and had always looked down upon commoners.

In her eyes, Levi and Zoey were just society's scum.

How dare they disrupt my son's engagement banquet?

They're asking to be killed!

Two foreign bodyguards approached to try and take Levi down.

Meanwhile, Levi clapped his hands and let out a sarcastic smile. "These are serious crimes. I'm impressed."

However, he changed his tone immediately. "Does the Gates family not respect the country's laws? Since when do you have the authority to pass judgment on others?" Levi smiled smugly.

When Fred listed out the four crimes, it was obvious that the Gates family was used to throwing their weight around all the time.

They had indirectly declared hegemony over their territory.

Within their sphere of influence, the Gates family was the law. They exercised their authority over all who lived there.

Therefore, they were the ones to decide the fate of others, including life and death.

Levi was furious.

He had been fighting hard outside against the nation's enemies, to protect the country's sovereignty and its people.

And yet, prominent families such as the Gates acted with such impunity within the nation itself.

Hence, he felt disillusioned.

Fred scoffed, "Today is my son's engagement banquet, hence I only charged you with four crimes. If it were any other time, going against the Gates family is punishable by death. I would have sentenced you to death on the spot."

Such shocking dominance!

The Black and Lopez families were astounded at how powerful the Gates family was.

No wonder they were considered South Hampton's topmost prominent family.

Meanwhile, all the other members of the Gates family looked cold when they heard Fred's words as if they were accustomed to it.

It was clear that that the Gates family did as they please and killed as they willed.

Meanwhile, Zoey was unnerved by the Gates family's show of strength.

She was especially worried when she heard about the four crimes which required Levi's limbs to be broken.

"In the eyes of the Gates family, does Erudia still matter? Do the laws of the country still apply?" Levi asked.

"Let me make it clear to you. Wherever the Gates family is, that's where we are the law and everything we say, counts. Do you understand?" Fred replied in an assertive tone.

He wasn't stupid. It was just that their family was simply too powerful.

All these years, he had always dealt with everything the same way.

Hence, in the eyes of the Gates family, they were the law.

That was all there was to it.

Suddenly, Levi burst into laughter, to the extent that everyone became curious.

His laughter also caused the Gates family to feel offended.
