The Lopez and the Blacks gazed unwaveringly at Zoey.
Suddenly, she became distinctly aware of the weight of their disapproval upon her.
Zoey was trying hard to steady her breath.
“Says me! What about it?” The sound of Levi’s voice came at that moment.
“Levi, how dare you show your face here?” Shaun shouted in a fury.
“Why can’t I be here?” Levi chuckled in disdain.
“This is the unification ceremony of the Four Great Families. Did you receive an invitation?” Shaun demanded.
“No, I did not.”
“How brazen of you to show up without an invitation. Get lost!” the crowd shouted.
“Levi, the spots for attending this ceremony are limited. Besides, I was the one who had decided on who to invite
and where they were to be seated. It would be impossible for you to sneak in unnoticed.”

now.”
The crowd that had gathered to witness Shaun rudely denying Levi entry had numbered in the hundreds.
Zoey stared pointedly at the ground while Emma and Mia shrank behind her.
All of them were red with embarrassment.
It was embarrassing being denied entry.
Our social status is different than before. I must remember that.
This was arguably the most important ceremony that Erudia had ever seen.
Every citizen of the nation had their attention fixed on the events in the ceremony.
The fact that everybody in the country was aware of their situation made the humiliation even more difficult to
bear.
“Did you really think that Levi would be able to get you in like he used to? He’s not the God of War anymore. Being
a commoner, he is unworthy of even being near an event like this!”
“That’s right! Frostford has a grudge against him. Even Cora hates him. How would he be able to get in?”
“Are you really that delusional to let Levi’s fantasies get into your head?” Jennie jeered.
Zoey and her companions were about to retort but Jennie’s words had struck a nerve.
It is impossible.
“We should go.” Zoey pulled Levi’s mother and sister by the hand.
“Why are you leaving? Didn’t you want to attend the ceremony?” Levi put an arm out to block their path.
“Levi, I don’t wish to make things more difficult than they already are. Mom isn’t young anymore, she doesn’t
deserve to be disrespected like this,” said Zoey bluntly.
“Son, we should head back. It’s no use placing ourselves in a difficult situation,” Emma said wearily.
“Come on, Levi,” Mia added. “Let’s go home. We’re not very interested in this ceremony anyway.”
Levi gazed at them helplessly. “I really do have the ability to grant you entry to the ceremony, you know.”

“She’s right. Let’s leave.”
The women joined forces to persuade Levi in an attempt to preserve his dignity.
They could feel the jeering for Levi extending to them the longer they remained.
To protect Levi from slander was a secondary reason for their departure.
The ones who love you the most would always be willing to bear all of the hardships on your behalf.
“What a joke.” Shaun laughed. “What rights do you have in the first place to attend this ceremony?”
“Do you feel no shame for making such boastful claims?”
“Show me your invitations! I’ll kneel for you if you’re worthy to attend!”
“Don’t tell others that you know us. We don’t want to be embarrassed in association with you.”
Zoey and the girls hung their heads in embarrassment as they endeavored to pull Levi away.
“If you don’t wish to attend, I’ll forfeit my attendance as well.”
Levi swept a glance through the crowd. “Nobody else gets to attend! The ceremony is canceled!”
Levi pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Tell them that the ceremony is canceled,” he ordered angrily.
Shaun was beside himself with amusement at the spectacle.
“Do you really think that you have the power to cancel this ceremony with a phone call?”
