Chapter 642


    Levi smiled. “What’s the hurry? I haven’t even finished.”


    “You’re ndering 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 red 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 havemitted four crimes and will be punished


    ordingly.”


    “Firstly, you’ve trespassed on and disrupted my son’s engagement banquet. Secondly, you imed my


    son’s fiancée as your wife. Thirdly, you ndered my son. Andstly, 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 ck 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 ck families trembled when they heard his words as they knew it was directed at


    them.

    Landyn’s mother was even more furious. She red at Levi and barked, “Kneel before me!”


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


    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 pped 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’sws?


    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 dered hegemony over their territory.


    Within their sphere of influence, the Gates family was thew. 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 ck 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 ustomed 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 thews of the country still apply?” Levi


    asked.


    “Let me make it clear to you. Wherever the Gates family is, that’s where we are thew 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 thew.


    That was all there was to it.


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


    Hisughter also caused the Gates family to feel offended.
