"I had it delivered, of course," Levi chuckled.
"Delivered? Could it be someone from the Iron Brigade?" Russell asked quizzically.
Levi nodded. "Precisely. Didn't you see him just now?"
"What? You mean Captain Steele?"
Russell looked at Levi incredulously.
"Yeah, him! Why else would he be here if not to deliver the cigarettes and liquor?" Levi said.
"Hahaha..." Russell laughed out loud.
This man can really talk big!
"I'll have another carload sent over," Levi said.
"Hahaha, nice,” Russell responded sarcastically, looking at Levi as if he was a clown.
I'll soon find out whether Captain Steele is sending another carload of special cigarettes and liquor or not. I'm going to the South City Warzone after all.
"You were saying that you invited Alfie over, huh?" Levi suddenly asked.
Russell became a little flustered at that question.
But what was there to be afraid of if Alfie didn't even expose him?
"Yeah, I invited him to congratulate Grandma on her birthday!" Russell admitted tenaciously.
Levi's grin widened meaningfully, making Russell uneasy as if Levi had seen through his lies.
Not daring to stay with him any longer, he turned around and went back to the main hall.
The birthday banquet finally ended after a few hours.
Meredith had specially called Aaron and his family to stay behind, which made Zoey very happy.
Russell took his leave as well. "Grandpa, Grandma, I just received a notice asking me to hurry over to the South City Warzone."
