"What the hell are you going on about?" The manager asked causing Levi to sigh. "I can see that you are as daft as you are annoying," he said while bringing out his phone. He passed the phone to the manager and said, "put the amount you wish to sell the restaurant in here. Go on," he urged when he didn't see the young man make any move. "That's good," Levi said and took his phone back when he was sure that the man had placed his amount and account number. "Sent. Now, this restaurant now belongs to me." The manager did not have enough time to react because one of the waitress came out bursting with anger. "Young man what are you doing here?" Levi knew that voice very well. It was the same voice that shouted and humilated him when he could not pay for his meal. He turned around, ready to give her the shock of her life. "Tess, stop it!" Levi's words were cut short by the words that came out of Tess co-worker who barged out with her. "No, Nicole allow me to teach this man a lesson
"What exactly did you say is happening?" Levi asked as they approached the car. "Well, I couldn't hear him properly but I know he made mention of some bullies beating him up and asking for money." "Let me understand something. These bullies just spring up out of nowhere and the first thing they decide to do is beat up a friend of mine." "Yeah." Levi was seething with anger. He could vividly remember when he was always being beaten up by bullies for not having any money. It was a terrible time in his life and he never wanted anyone to go through what he went through. It was a terrible memory and it pained him to his bone to hear that his friend was being treated in the same manner at the moment. He would do everything he could to protect him. He would do everything he could to ensure that those bullies do not get away so easily. They had just played with the most deadly fire. He was going to ensure that they all get burnt. "They have to pay for this. I will see to it personally.
They charged at him with a determination to beat him up but they were two boys and Levi could smell that they were a bit high from cheap drugs. "Levi watch out!" Levi heard Jake screamed but he was already in the middle of beating them up. Jake, seeing that he could take care of things, went to Trevor to try and help him stand up. Levi did not understand where he got his fighting skills from but he was happy that he had them. He threw a punch at Del's face and doged one that came from his partner in crime while tackling him in the knee for him to fall to his knees. Somehow, he could tell from their movement that they were new to fighting and he took advantage of it. Levi was too engaged with trying to beat up two boys that he almost didn't notice when Den picked a knife from the ground and advanced at him. "Levi, behind you!" Trevor screamed and as he screamed, he gathered strength and broke free from Jake's hand. He charged towards Den and with the last energy he had, he pushed
Levi's heart almost dropped when turned and saw his friend on the ground. "No!" He screamed and ran towards him. "He is badly hurt. Someone call 911!" Jake screamed. Steven assumed the role and placed a call through. "Stay with us. You'll be fine," Jake didn't know if he was trying to reassure himself or Trevor. "You need to breathe," Levi said to Jake. "No, the ambulance needs to get here before I run mad." "Good, they're here," Levi heard the emergency sound they made and couldn't help but breathe out. He stood aside and watched as the paramedics carried Trevor onto a stretcher and took him into the car. Jake and Levi followed them in the back seat, ensuring that nothing happened to Trevor. "I don't understand how he could faint from this. He has experienced the worst beatings and nothing happened to him," Levi said. "Well, he is not that bad. He probably just fell from exhaustion," one of the paramedics said. "He just needs to rest and he will be fine. The young man is j
The warm morning breeze showed clear signs that it was going to be a good day for Levi and he smiled in anticipation. His normal routine consisted of him checking his company before anything else. He approached the building with the same confidence and just the same shabby clothes that he normally wore. He was prepared for anything that may come his way. "Good morning sir," the receptionist greeted him when he saw him enter the building. "Good morning," he responded and moved to the elevator. Steven had called him to come in early and he was eager to know what he wanted to discuss. Levi didn't knock when he reached his door, he just opened it and walked in. "Okay, Steven I don't have all day." "Oh, good morning to you too sir," he responded sarcastically and Levi rolled his eyes. "Sorry. Good morning Steven. Now can you please tell me what the problem is?" "How about you take a seat first?" He said while pointing at the seat opposite him. Steven was dressed like an actual busi
"What do you mean by you can't hear from them?" He had a deadly tone to his voice making the man shiver. "I'm s-s-sorry." The man said meekly."Argh!" Roberto was filled with rage and he scattered everything on his table. "Did I ask you to apologize to me or did I ask you why you can't find the men?" "You asked why I can't reach the men?" "So then why are you apologizing? Let me make one thing perfectly clear, Mr Leo, you were the one who personally said that these men were more than capable for the job. You convinced me that I could trust them and that you will not let me down, so now, I advise that you stick to your word because if I don't get the head of Levi Strauss, I will get yours. Do you understand me?" Mr. Leo gulped and said, "yes sir. I understand you." "Very good. Now do whatever it takes to find those men. Investigate, call the partners, get more boys on the job but just get me what I want!" He shouted and banged the phone on the table. "Fuck!" He screamed in frust
"What did you say to him?" The principal asked angrily. "N-n-nothing sir." Chris stammered. "I am giving you one last chance to either tell the truth or risk being punished severely for lying to me. Now tell me what you said to him?" The man shouted. "I only told him the truth that he will be expelled and sir, he should be because he is always absent and he leaves school too early." "And so? Do you think that he is like you who doesn't have anything better to do with his life? Apologize to him right now!" He ordered. "What?" Chris was shocked and his voice came out like a whisper. "I said, apologize to him right now or did I stutter?" "But sir…" "Apologize, young man!" When Chris noticed that the small vein in the man's forehead was about to pop, he turned slowly to Levi."I'm sorry for offending you." He whispered arrogantly. "Apologize well," the principal insisted. "I'm sorry for offending you." He said nicely. "You're forgiven. And you can leave now," Levi dismissed him
"Can you guys just stop this madness?!" Brittany screamed when she had enough. "I cannot believe you guys would stand there and talk all sort of rubbish about my friend. You have no right. Absolutely no right to disrespect him like that." She was pissed and still couldn't get over the shock. She knew her friends could be a bit judgemental but she never believed they would bring their judgment to her friends. Turning to Levi with a sober look on her face, she said, "I'm really sorry about all of this. I'm really sorry that they insulted you." "Don't apologize to him!" Nikki shouted. "You don't tell me what to do. Now shut your hole trap!" Brittany shouted back at her. "Levi, I am truly sorry." Levi saw in her eyes that she was embarrassed and sad about the whole event. He saw a tear begin to form and it almost broke his heart. "Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. I have had this happen to me a lot of times. It's not your fault, okay?" "Yes. But I feel bad about it. Because of me, you hav
