After answering Samuel's call, Isaac didn't say anything for at least ten seconds. He spent the first five seconds trying to remember who this person was.Then, he spent the next five seconds wondering why the second-in-command of the Ashleigh clan wanted to see him.In the end, Isaac agreed anyway. In order to prevent the Ashleigh clan from pulling any tricks, he purposely chose the Pecling Trade Center as the meet-up location.At noon the next day, Isaac received a call from Timothy before his appointment with Samuel."Mr. Garten, the Divine Stone has been restored. You can come and check it."Isaac's heart skipped a beat at this. Wasn't it supposed to take three days? In the end, it had only taken one and a half days."Alright, I'll be right there."At 2:00 pm, Isaac arrived at Research Institute No. 9 and headed to the underground experiment lab. Along the way, he saw many scientists of different nationalities.Before he stepped through the doors, he sensed a strong spiri

Before Isaac could say anything, the call ended. When he called back, he found that Timothy's phone was switched off.Isaac put down the phone and looked at Dragon One. "I want to know the exact location of Timothy Pollock of Research Institute No. 9.""Please wait, Drakon." With that, Dragon One picked up his satellite phone.Five minutes later, Dragon One answered a phone call. Then, he told Isaac, "An hour ago, Timothy Pollock went to the residential quarters of the research institute. He hasn't left since.""Take me there." Isaac waved his hand with a frown.Dragon One was usually stationed in Pecling, so he knew the city like the back of his hand.Not to mention, he had superb driving skills. Less than half an hour later, he drove Isaac's black Audi into the residential quarters of the research institute.Although the Dragon Soldiers no longer belonged to the House of Custos, they still had certain special privileges.For example, they still had cars with special car plate

After Dragon One made the phone call, Isaac said coldly to Marcus, "Wait for my phone call here. When I ask you to go to the cell block, you can pick up your beloved." Then, he walked over to Timothy. "Timothy, let's get you to the hospital first."Timothy walked out shakily. From time to time, he looked back at Marcus. He felt guilty and furious, but more helpless than anything.When his wife had been alive, Timothy had been busy with his studies, flying all across the globe. When he had finally made it in his career, he came to realize that his wife had spoiled their son. By then, it was already too late to correct Marcus' behavior.In the car, Timothy asked Isaac tentatively, "Mr. Garten, are you really planning to release Elowen? That woman isn't as simple as she seems.""Not as simple as she seems? No, women like her are the simplest," Isaac said with a soft laugh."Then …"Isaac turned to Timothy and said seriously, "Timothy, you've done me a huge favor. In return, I'll

The sight of Denvor's smile left a bad taste in Marcus' mouth. He had never heard of a shareholder named Mr. Loch before.That bastard had leered at Elowen.Thus, Marcus purposely picked a table that was far away from Denvor. However, Elowen would sneak glances at the man by the window when Marcus wasn't looking.Although Denvor looked like a donkey, the way he was slowly eating and drinking red wine under the golden rays of the sun made him look somewhat decent.Halfway through their meal, a waiter walked over to their table and said politely, "Miss, Mr. Loch would like to express his apologies. He picked a song for you." As he spoke, he handed her a glossy name card. "He also gave this small gift to make up for the inconvenience caused."Elowen saw the LV symbol on the name card and the diamond-encrusted VIP letters. Her breath hitched in her throat.This was a limited VIP card from the LV Group. Cardholders were entitled to special discounts and priority treatment at any out

Meanwhile, Denver and Elowen felt as though their hearts were connected. They were sharing their own stories, yet it seemed as though they were answering each other. After exchanging a few more words, they got out of the car.Elowen gazed at the gigantic bungalow. It had to be at least five thousand square feet. On top of that, it had been built on this prized land, which cost over 600 thousand dollars. She had no words to describe how astonished she was.Before this, she hadn't been fully convinced. She had wanted to see Denvor's true "capabilities".But at this moment, she made up her mind to seduce this rich man.Although Denvor was uglier than Marcus, he was a better catch to string along.Dragon Four stood on the steps outside the house. He smoked a cigarette as he gazed at the sheets of rain falling from the sky. He could faintly hear some strange noises coming from the second floor.He had to admit that it felt a little strange hearing those sounds in broad daylight.
