It was widely known that the development of Pegasus No. 1 could easily reach a hundred billion dollars. Just 20 percent would be over 20 billion dollars. In Cloud City, it was definitely the biggest project to date.Allegra’s heart began to race, and her face turned a deeper shade of red. “Mr. Martin, by giving us 20 percent of the project, do you have any other requests?” she asked, slightly nervous.Finally, they’d arrived at the main point. Tristan raised his hand, and the waiter immediately brought over a box of cigars. He took one out, lit it, and took a puff. With a slight smile, he said, “I don’t have requests. If I had to name one, it would be to become good friends with you, Ms. Booth. What do you think?”Emily frowned minutely. Twenty billion dollars in exchange for friendship? Surely the Martins were not this foolish?Meanwhile, Allegra merely lowered her head in embarrassment. She covered her mouth and laughed, saying, “Mr. Martin, you’re young, successful, and funny as

“No, over my dead body. This back alley barber has no right to…”Before Cameron could finish screaming, a sharp dagger was pressed to his throat. The pain from the sharp blade made him pause.“Keep squawking, and I’ll cut a hole in your throat,” Isaac said icily.The barber was shocked.“Sir, don’t be afraid. Just shave it all off.” Isaac forced Cameron, who didn’t dare move a muscle, into a seat.The old man’s skills were rather impressive. Although it only cost five dollars, in less than half an hour, there wasn’t a hair left on Cameron’s head. His crown shone under the sunlight.“Alright, all done. This little noggin is so shiny and smooth,” the barber said, chuckling and sighing with satisfaction.Cameron’s head felt airy. Seeing Isaac put away the dagger, he picked up a hand mirror and looked at himself. Then, he burst into loud tears. Furious, he pointed at Isaac and growled, “Garten, you bastard, I spent over three thousand dollars on my hairstyle, and you destroyed it wi

Half an hour later, a black Land Rover stopped in the middle of a street full of bars. Isaac made a beeline to the door of a bar called The Charmers.It was easy to locate Cameron. After the Kenne family fell, Old Brooks’ men all came out of hiding. The very night Horace was shot and killed, Old Brooks brought a group of elites into the provincial capital and Aurum County.They took over the Kenne family’s territories in Aurum County seamlessly. Meanwhile, Cloud City had always belonged to them. Finding Mr. Hart Jr. in the nightlife scene merely took one phone call.In the most luxurious private room located on the second floor, a bunch of young men and women were swaying their bodies madly under the influence of alcohol and heavy metal music.Suddenly, the music went dead in the room, and the lights flicked on. The entire room went quiet.The young men and women turned to look at the door. Isaac had one of his hands on the switches, picking Cameron out from the crowd.“Hey, are

If this fatso was from the military district, then he could think of 100 ways to make him beg for forgiveness.“Punk, you want to play the hero, huh?” Beefy Bob’s lips curled into a grin.“My father is Harlow Knorr. I’m sure you know him…Fuck, why are you taking your belt off? I’m warning you not to come any closer. Put your belt back on…”Beefy Bob whipped Hank in the lower back. The latter cried out, his entire body twitching.He tried to run, but two soldiers immediately ran over to hold him down. Beefy Bob stepped forward and began to whip him aggressively.This six-foot-tall man began to bawl his eyes out.A few minutes later, the blue bloods began running for their lives on the running track. Meanwhile, Beefy Bob followed behind them, acting as the “sheepdog” as he waved his leather belt.To make things worse, Beefy Bob even made them do frog jumps, sprints, and high knee runs while they were running. Half an hour later, they practically collapsed.These kids—who were use

Isaac looked at the boy standing next to Seth. The boy was looking at him with a condescending smirk.“Bring that boy here,” Isaac said, pointing at him. Beefy Bob went over at once.Seth’s face immediately turned sour. He hid his son behind him and roared, “What are you trying to do? If you dare to lay a finger on him, I’ll kill you!”Beefy Bob simply pushed Seth away, making him stumble a few steps backward and nearly fall over. Then, he grabbed hold of the boy and brought him before Isaac.Smack!Isaac landed a hard slap on the boy’s cheek, leaving his handprint there. Then, Isaac looked at Seth and said coldly, “So now that I’d slapped your son, what will you do about it? You can look for me any time, you know? My name is Isaac Garten, so get that straight. If you still can’t find me, then call up Connor Hart. He knows where to find me,” Isaac said slowly to Seth.Seth was so mad that he started shaking. However, he knew that Isaac wasn’t someone he should mess around with.After a
