"Levi..." After Mia called Levi's name, there was silence on her end for a while. However, Levi could vaguely guess what was going on. He responded hurriedly, "Mom, I'm really fine. Don't worry." Levi had lived for more than twenty years, but he had never seen Mia cry over anything for real. The current situation unnerved him; his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He asked, "Mom, am I not communicating openly with you now? What are you worried about?" "Levi...." Mia didn't know what she was worried about either. It wasn't like she hadn't been separated from him before. But at that time, she was so flustered; she couldn't hold back her tears the moment she heard his voice. Levi comforted Mia softly, "Mom, give me another three days. I promise I'll show up before your very eyes three days later. In the future, I will spend more time staying with you. I won't leave you even if you feel that I'm a bother!" Mia sniffed and forced herself to calm down, replying,

"Young Master Brown, I invited the two of you over because I need a favor from you. By the way, I hope you guys can forgive my subordinates for being rude." The person who spoke was Sheldon, who seemed to be relatively amicable. He had a smile on his face, a typical smile that concealed bloodlust behind it. There were two chairs at the side. Levi pulled Monique over to sit on one unabashedly. "Mr. Gilbert, since you've gone to these lengths to invite me here, it must not be a small favor, I assume?" Levi asked. "This matter is of great importance to us, but to you, it's as small as it can be," Sheldon answered as he waved his hand, directing someone to bring him two cups of tea. "Young Master Brown, please have some tea." "Thank you," Levi responded. Whether the tea was drugged or not, Levi would definitely not drink it. He then asked in response, "Mr. Gilbert, please tell me what favor you need from me." "It's a very easy thing, actually." Sheldon smiled. "We j

"Levi, you are a smart person. You know better than me what chips we hold now. Is this the time for jokes?" Monique questioned. She had never been as anxious as she was at this instant when she was placed in such a dangerous situation. When she chose to be a soldier, she was ready to offer her life for the country and its citizens. She would not let fear take over her or retreat when carrying out any tasks, including those which would risk her life. However, she was afraid that Levi would not fare well. It was just human nature— sometimes, one would rather die alone than see something bad happen to the people they care about. She could not let Levi come to any harm. "Yes, I know it well. That's why they won't do anything to me. Look, they've even arranged for us to live in such a comfortable room. What's there to worry about?" Levi was used to glossing things over. However, the trick didn't work on Monique this time. "Since you know where we stand, you sho

"Not as a threat? Then get someone to send them back safely now. Can you send them back to Chatterton Town without any issue?" Neil's voice sounded neutral, but with a unique commanding air. Neil had been in charge of the military region for decades. Thus, he had witnessed all kinds of incidents. How could he lose his composure just because of such a phone call? Neil, who was currently speaking from the other end of the phone, was the person who Sheldon wanted to tear into pieces so badly. Neil was the one who destroyed the force that he had built up for years, and hindered him from achieving his ultimate goal. He hated Neil so much that he wanted to rip off his skin and force him to kneel before him and apologize. However, it was not the right time yet. He still needed more time. Therefore, no matter how exasperated and hateful Sheldon was, he still remained calm. "Young Master Brown has just arrived in Xanduvia City, and he's very interested in the local custo

After dinner, Levi and Monique were brought to Sheldon's office again, once again at Neil's behest. Neil and Levi, the father and son, quarreled again. And once again, they parted on bad terms. Especially in influential families like the Brown family, it was always that the father was powerful and influential, while the son had grown used to being arrogant and domineering. It was commonplace to see these types of fathers and sons bickering whenever they met. Thus, Sheldon did not concern himself with the bickering between Neil and Levi. No matter how bad the relationship between Neil and Levi appeared on the surface, Neil could not bear to abandon Levi after all. He was anxiously preparing the weapons that Sheldon wanted. Sheldon ordered his subordinates to send Levi and Monique back to their rooms. He also secretly instructed his subordinates to keep their eyes on the two of them. They were not to allow any trouble to occur before the weapons were safely in their han
