After Russell's description of the event, Zoey suddenly realized that it could have been the metal pieces lodged inside of Levi’s body which caused the metal detectors to go off, instead of the lighter, which was what he had told them earlier on!
She wished that she could see through Levi's clothes, and verify what Russell said with her own eyes that very instant.
Quintus, who was intrigued, asked, "How's that even possible? Russell, who is this guy?"
"We don't exactly know who he is, as his files had been classified as 5S level, which means no one in the entire of South City would have access to it!
But I heard from our Chief that he used to be an officer from the Iron Brigade!" Russell replied excitedly.
"Iron Brigade? Isn't that the team that's personally led by the God of War?"
"Exactly! That's the strongest military unit in Erudia! Every soldier who's part of that team is a man of indomitable spirit!"
The men at the gathering were all stirred at the mention of the 'God of War’ and the 'Iron Brigade'.
Every men, regardless of age, would have dreamed of becoming a soldier at some point in time of their lives.
Being in the Iron Brigade was the greatest recognition and highest honor for every soldier.
"Yeah, when I was at the military academy, my goal was also to join the Iron Brigade and fight alongside the God of War!"
Russell was no exception.
Abigail was feeling proud when she saw the longing expressions of those men in the room.
At that moment, she really wanted to stand up and tell everyone that the God of War, who was revered by all, was none other than her cousin-in-law, Levi!
"If those warriors from the Iron Brigade could be present at grandma's birthday banquet, I bet grandpa and grandma would both be delighted!" Keane said.
"Yeah, grandpa and grandma were once soldiers as well! They'll definitely be over the moon to meet someone from the Iron Brigade!"
"Exactly! Grandpa and grandma love the special alcohol and cigarettes provided by the warzones, but nowadays they hardly have the chance to enjoy them anymore."
Everyone was contributing to the lively discussion going on in the room.
