Although two billion dollars was a drop in the ocean compared to Evie's ransom of 600 billion dollars, it was still a massive sum of money.Such an amount could have brought immense benefits to the commoners if allocated to government subsidies.Had these Parwinian businessmen collectively lost their minds?Isaac let out a cold laugh. "If I'm not mistaken, Evie's ransom has already been transferred to Adrian. The news has spread throughout Parwinian commercial circles."Monkey see, monkey do. They all know that no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned. Ethan, if we don't make an example of someone, I'm afraid those people who were kidnapped won't be coming back!"Ethan took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Isaac, I support your decision to head to Parwin now. I'll bear any consequences for you!""Thank you, Mr. Grannel!" Isaac nodded slightly and turned to walk toward the door.Lupinus and Hera were waiting outside. As Isaac emerged, Lupinus asked, "Have they all as

Theodore, too, put on his clothes as he was pushed into the hall by a middle-aged man.Dozens of Dusk Soldier lieutenants rapidly stormed in. Some surrounded the hall, while others swiftly searched through the rooms on each floor.A middle-aged man in a white shirt and vest bellowed, "Who are you people? Do you know where you are?"He was Adrian's father, Jasper Levine, the second in command at Triple Threat Corporation.Footsteps echoed as Lucas and his six companions walked directly into the center of the living room, facing a furious Jasper."Is this all of the Levine family?" Lucas looked around with a cold snort.Cries and shouts filled the air outside. Several young men, women, and children were being hurriedly brought in by the lieutenants.The main building housed only Theodore, his sons, and his daughters-in-law, while the younger and later generations resided in the two adjacent buildings.As he saw his younger family members being captured and brought in, Theodore's

The commanders, on the verge of falling asleep, suddenly looked toward the main entrance at the sound of the commotion, only to see Lupinus standing coldly at the door.Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed as a sniper bullet flew straight toward Lupinus' forehead.There was a sniper placed on the top floor of the villa.Lupinus' figure flickered, instantly dodging the bullet."Adrian Levine, come out here!" Lupinus yelled in Bridgonese.Adrian sprang up from his bed as his room door burst open. Spencer then rushed in, his clothes disheveled."Mr. Levine, someone has broken into the house.""Kill him!" Adrian roared."Go check on that woman, now!"Very soon after saying that, he heard two screams echoing from downstairs, sending a shiver through his heart.When Spencer rushed to the first floor with a pistol in his hands and pushed open the door where Evie was held, he was met with a horrifying sight. The two commanders in the room lay on the ground, their throats slit, with blo

The kidnappers would, of course, release their hostages obediently. But the Levine family was facing a wipeout."Mr. Garten, please wait!" Theodore suddenly raised his voice. At the old man's words, the panicked and restless Levine family members quieted down.They all believed in the power of this elderly man who had risen from a poor teenager in a fishing village to become the head of one of Parwin's top business empires.Isaac turned to face Theodore."I am willing to give up all my wealth to save my family!" Beads of sweat rolled down Theodore's forehead.No one knew the immense courage it took to utter those words.They had toiled for 50 years and went through countless dark times, storms, and near-death experiences to get to where they were today.The Levines widened their eyes in disbelief. Some wanted to object, but the thought of their lives on the line made them swallow their words."We'll disperse all of our wealth and ensure that all kidnappers unconditionally r

This was what grandeur was all about!By the time Isaac returned to Sleeping Dragon Bay, it was already afternoon. As soon as he entered, he said with a smile to Holly, "Ms. Lambert, prepare a few extra dishes tonight. Let's have a good meal together."It was rare to see Isaac so cheerful. Holly quickly nodded, then hurried out to buy groceries.Seeing Hera standing quietly by the staircase, looking somewhat aggrieved, Isaac approached her and said, "From now on, as long as I'm home, you can go out and have fun. How does that sound?""Really?" Hera's expression brightened instantly, her face shifting from gloom to sunshine. She somehow looked incredulously at Isaac."Of course!""Bye!"In a flash, Hera disappeared from sight."Be back for dinner," Isaac called out toward the door, shaking his head in amusement.How could this incredibly powerful woman behave like a naive young girl who hadn't seen the world?In the afternoon, Isaac spent time with Evie in the yard, basking in
