Allegra was excited too. She'd been to Pecling before, but it was her first time going on a trip with her family.Isaac drove with his shades on. Eugene was in the passenger seat, talking about his younger days when he used to visit Pecling on business trips. Allegra sat in the backseat with Isabella, eating snacks and enjoying the fall scenery through the window. It was harmonious.It was a weekday, but there were many tourists. The four of them queued for more than half an hour for the tickets before they could start climbing the Tall Tower.The weather was splendid. Isabella was exhausted before long, so Isaac carried her and conquered the tower in a few breaths.Allegra was undeniably enchanting and graceful, turning heads as she went by.But nobody attempted to woo her, as they saw a man and a child next to her.It wouldn't be a vacation if they didn't enjoy it and take photos. Because of Isabella, Isaac found himself snapping away at the camera like never before.Soon, Isa

Dominic walked up to the officer, clutching his abdomen. He pointed at his face and threatened, "Look closely at who I am before you bark. I'm Dominic White. Raoul Shaffer is my cousin, the heir to the Shaffer family." Then he bellowed, "That punk started it first, yet you're taking us away? Tell me now, who should you be arresting?"The officer shuddered and paled."I—it's you, Mr. White. I—I'm sorry for not recognizing you." The officer then looked at Allegra and her family with a stern look. "You should come with me to the law enforcement unit. Take them away. Into the car, now."Allegra was stunned. She shouted in a panic, "That's utter nonsense! They're obviously in the wrong, so why are you arresting us? You—"Isaac held Allegra back and said softly, "Don't argue. I'll handle this." Isaac waved and stopped the officers, taking out an entry pass from the car's glove compartment. "Wait. Before you take me away, call Pecling's Police Department and ask them to bring some men ove

He wanted to meet the man his grandfather feared so much.The receptionist was startled to see this group of upper-class men and immediately reported it secretly to the manager. Suddenly, Beefy Bob's voice came from behind: "Isaac's not around. He asked me to wait here for you all. What business do you have with him?"They turned and saw the stout figure a stone's throw away. They were stunned for a moment before they burst out laughing."Fatso, are you alone? Do you even know why Mr. Shaffer is looking for Isaac? Move, or else—"Beefy Bob's stout figure darted forward like a tank and slapped Perrin. Perrin yelped and crashed onto the wall behind the counter.There were shrieks everywhere as the hotel hall erupted into chaos.Raoul squinted and said coldly, "Do you know who I am, fatso?""Here you are, loitering when you should be mourning your father's death. Does your grandfather know about this?" Beefy Bob grinned back at Raoul.Raoul's brows furrowed. He thought, "How did

"Guards!"A man briskly entered."Inform the security force to take turns protecting Raoul for the whole day from today onward!"He'd already lost a son; he couldn't allow anything to happen to his grandson.Rodrick's phone had undergone special treatment, so he didn't have to worry about leaving trails behind.Still, after pondering, he searched his contact list and dialed a number.Isaac and Isabella were in the garden, feeding the swans. Isaac's phone rang, and he swiftly pulled it out and answered it."Black Phoenix, what's wrong?""Drakon, Beefy Bob's in danger. Someone abducted him, and they're now on the highway heading east."Isaac narrowed his eyes. The Shaffer family!He asked Allegra to look after Isabella and Eugene while he hurriedly went to the park lot, dialing Ethan's number as he moved.Within ten minutes, the nearest law enforcement unit sent ten armed officers in casual clothes to protect Allegra and her family secretly.A black Jeep sped on the highway a

Suddenly, Phineas strode up to Isaac and kneeled."Forgive my ignorance, Mr. Garten. I didn't know it was you!""Sir!" The elders were taken aback."Phineas, you…" Rodrick's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.The Shaffers were in utter disbelief too. The leader of the strongest sect in Pecling had kneeled before this man at first sight!"Do you know me?" Isaac looked at him and suddenly remembered they had met once in Astraeus.Phineas immediately replied respectfully, "I've had the honor of meeting you at the foot of Mt. Nix, Mr. Garten. My sect and I are willing to heed your commands at all costs.""Great. Kill Raoul, and I'll believe you." Isaac smiled as he looked at Raoul, who was now hidden in the crowd.Phineas sprung to his feet and looked at Raoul, his killing intent intensifying."Phineas Lodge, I was the one who requested your help. We've been cooperating for more than three decades! Have you lost your mind?""Sir, what's this all about?"Rodrick and the eld
