He Started A War, Conquered The World novel Chapter 7

"You wish!"

Zoey would rather die than agree to such a condition.

"Fine. Just you wait!"

Derrick grinned insidiously before turning to leave.

Noticing Zoey's pale complexion, Levi grasped her hand and asked, "Zoey, what happened? Who's that guy just now?"

Zoey shook her head. "It's nothing!"

However, she knew Derrick wouldn't let this rest, so she was perturbed along the way.

Halfway through, a large group of people suddenly surrounded the four of them.

These people were members of the security team, each pointing at them with a gun.

Zoey was scared out of her wits. Her face drained of all colors as she gripped Levi's hand tightly.

Likewise, Aaron and Caitlyn were paralyzed in terror, as they knew that it was Derrick's revenge.

The leader of the group, decked out in combat suits, looked at them with cold and merciless eyes under the protective goggles. "Mr. Johns, is this the criminal that you were speaking of?"

"Yes, Mr. Lewis!” Derrick replied. "This guy's fresh out of prison today. How is he qualified to attend such a banquet? I suspect he has something up his sleeve! If anything crops up on this occasion, can you afford to bear this responsibility, Mr. Lewis?"

"What? Is this for real?"

Ethan Lewis, the deputy team leader of the security team, was responsible for the safety inside. He wasn't aware of how they had come in.

Derrick flashed a complacent smile at Zoey, then said to Ethan, "No matter what's the situation, Mr. Lewis, I suggest we arrest him first! We need to get rid of any possible risks!"

"Right! How could he attend this banquet right after he was released from prison? Check their invitations first!" Ethan said coldly.

Zoey and her parents were dumbfounded.

What invitation cards! There were no invitation cards at all!

"Hand over the invitations!" Derrick spoke in an overbearing manner.

"We don't have them," Levi replied placidly.

"Haha. Did you hear that, Mr. Lewis? They have no invitations at all! Something is definitely fishy here!" Derrick was elated to hear that they came without any invitation.

"Men, arrest them!" Ethan gave his orders.

At that point, Zoey was already freaking out.

Mom, dad, and I will definitely be fine even if we're arrested. But Levi will certainly be subjected to Derrick's manipulation and get sent to jail again.

"Wait! We came in through the security checkpoint. What makes you think we don't have the right to be here?" Zoey said indignantly.

"That's impossible!" Derrick sneered. "An invitation is compulsory to enter this place! Even the host of today's banquet, the God of War, needs an invitation! Something is not right if there's no invitation!"

"Yes, that's a first for me as well," Ethan said with certainty, knowing that everyone, including the tycoons, came with invitations today. "Take them away!"

Aaron and Caitlyn squeezed their eyes shut in horror.

Zoey, too, was terribly frightened.

"Accept your fate, Zoey!" Derrick chortled. "This is the consequence of rejecting me!"

"Whoever told you that one must need an invitation to get in?" Levi's voice sounded abruptly.

Everyone halted and stared at him with surprise.

Just then, Zoey tugged on Levi's sleeves, signaling him to stop talking, while Aaron and his wife looked even more horrified by Levi's retort.

Is he courting disaster?

Levi merely patted her shoulders. "Trust me again, will you?"

"Okay." Zoey nodded.

After that, Levi's gaze landed on Ethan. "Call your supervisor and ask him this-can Levi Garrison come in without an invitation?"

"Hahaha... Is he retarded? Who does he think he is?"

Derrick and his companions laughed so hard that their stomach hurt.

But Ethan was angered by Levi's words, so he did as he was asked. "Okay, I shall ask the team leader if he knows you."

Standing beside them, Derrick laughed heartily and was happy to see Levi make a fool of himself.

By then, many people had gathered around at the commotion, causing Zoey and her parents to lower their heads in embarrassment.

This is an embarrassment!
