The Protector

A group of people poured out of the hotel.
In the middle of the crowd stood an old man in traditional clothing.
He was none other than the owner of Peace Hotel, Osborn St-Jacques.
When he had first heard about someone causing a scene at Peace Hotel, he paid it no heed.
After all, who would dare to cause trouble here?
However, he had no choice but to show up after receiving the latest news about it.
“Young man, I am Osborn St-Jacques, the owner of Peace Hotel! I’m sure that you know the rules here. Do you have an
explanation for all of this?”
Although Osborn’s tone sounded amiable, it had an edge to it at the same time.
Levi chuckled and uttered, “Oh, my apologies, but I’ve always been a rule-breaker. And today, I’ve broken the rules of your
hotel!”
“You...” Osborn’s anger skyrocketed.
Despite his rage, one glance at the wailing people on the ground told him that Levi wasn’t someone that he should
underestimate.
“Rules are made to restrain those weaker than us, but it’s useless against me because I’m stronger than you!”
Levi’s mouth arched upwards.
“Since the beginning, I’d already stated that I’m only here to kill someone and that I wouldn’t trouble the rest of you!”
“I clearly said that I would leave once he was killed!” Levi added.
“No... Save me... Mr. St-Jacques, you have to save me! I’m Lionel Gonzales’ son!”
“If I were to be killed right under your nose, Peace Hotel wouldn’t be able to keep operating in the future. You’ll become the
laughing stock of the entire South Hampton!” Klaus yelled, grasping for straws.

His words magnified Osborn’s concerns.
If such a situation came true, he would certainly lose his foothold in South Hampton.
Especially when Klaus was the son of one of The Three Musketeers! He had an identity that was far too important.
“Let him go, and I’ll allow this whole matter to slide!” Osborn coldly demanded.
“And if I don’t?”
What Levi hated the most was being threatened by others.
“Then you’ll become an enemy of Peace Hotel, as well as a common enemy to all of Osborn St-Jacques’ connections!”
“When that happens, bigwigs from all walks of life will unite against you. Do you think you’ll be able to survive that?”
Several people behind Osborn challenged Levi.
“Do you know why no one dares to break the rules at Peace Hotel? And that no matter how grave the mistake, those who step
into Peace Hotel would be safe?” Osborn asked.
“Please, enlighten me!”
Levi was rather interested in knowing the answer.
“Firstly, there are many skilled fighters within the walls of Peace Hotel. All of them owe me and are willing to work as security
guards here.”
“Secondly, I have connections all over the business, politics, military, and various other fields! You could say that the big shots in
the South, and even from the North and East, all owe me favors. One word from me, and they’ll offer me their aid, no questions
asked. This is the real reason that no one dares to mess with Peace Hotel!”
“Provoking Peace Hotel is equivalent to offending half of the East!”
Osborn leveled his gaze with Levi as he suggested, “So, cut me some slack! Let’s be friends instead!”
