“Charlie, there’s nothing for us to discuss. Go home and get your family to find you another job.” Micah waved his hand. He picked up the phone on his table. “Inform the administration office to draft a penalty notice of the dismissal of Mr. Charles Owens…”A wave of despair swept over Charles. Grandpa Micah fired him because of a jerk.“Grandpa Micah, since you’re so heartless, don’t blame me for taking revenge! I’ll show you the influence of the Owens family!” Charles flung the door open and stomped out.After hanging up, Micah slumped into his chair, as if his energy drained dry. He looked at the doorway in a daze and muttered, “The peace in Southland won’t last long!”He could only hope for Charles to stay away from that man. There were only three eagle-shaped Commander’s Seals in the whole world. It gave its wielder the power to command an army of millions anywhere on the nine continents.He would never have expected to meet the legendary Drakon in a small place like this!I

“Old Kane, you and I have known each other for years. I’m here today for a reason. My wife is Mr. Merck’s younger sister. I’m sure you’re aware of this?”Watson frowned the moment Wyatt started speaking.Watson said nothing. Allen fell to his knees with a loud thump right next to Watson, weeping as he said, “Mr. Kane, I know it was you. Please, I beg you, show mercy to the Merck family. That day during Old Alec’s birthday celebration, I was only against Garten and Allegra, that shameless couple. The Merck family has never wronged you and the Kane family.”Allen looked up, tears streaming down his face as he grasped Watson’s arm. “Mr. Kane, let us off the hook, and the Merck family will be your loyal supporters. We saved some gold overseas. If only you would let us go, you’d have the Merck family’s heirloom.” Allen showed his last card. The Merck family was bending under enormous pressure from all parties.Watson still said nothing. Wyatt frowned. “Mr. Kane, Mr. Merck is my brother-

Things were about to get messy. It was safer to keep out of the center of the storm.“Mr. Garten, the Owens family has been in the military for generations. Perhaps you want to—” Watson tried to make peace. He had no idea what would happen if this went on. “Did I ask you for advice?” Isaac snorted as he looked at Watson.Watson’s heart throbbed furiously, and he shook his head immediately. “No, I wouldn’t dare.”Isaac walked toward Wyatt and Charles slowly. Charles raised his dagger as he backed up, shouting, “Stay where you are. Take one more step, and I’ll show you.”Isaac darted forward and slapped Charles. Charles swiveled from the force of the slap, and his dagger dropped to the floor with a thud.“Show me what, exactly?”He turned and slapped Wyatt too. “Remember this. There are no widows in the Booth family. There is only Allegra Booth. Get it?”Wyatt held his burning cheek, his eyes spitting fire, but he averted his gaze.It was the first time he felt such humiliation

Allegra turned toward Isaac, her eyes gleaming with tears as she bit her lip harshly.“Okay, I’ll go.” When Isaac saw how pained and troubled Allegra looked, he did not hesitate.Margaret sat on the ground and let out a sigh of relief as a small smile crept onto her face. She knew that if Isaac went with Big Anthony, he wouldn’t be coming back.“I want to go with him!” Allegra said suddenly, shocking everyone in the living room.Big Anthony immediately smiled at her coldly. “Sure. You are quite a looker, and I happened to need a tea lady.”Margaret paused briefly before shrieking, “My daughter, don’t be foolish. You are now a notable woman, so how can you go with that savage? You can’t…”Cussler, who was in front of Big Anthony, immediately slapped Margaret in the face, shouting angrily, “Shut your mouth. Say another word, and I’ll slice your tongue off.”“Anthony, you’d better think twice. If I go with you today, you’ll suffer a fate worse than death!” Isaac was astounded that

“Isaac, Bob really scared me earlier. He’s so cruel,” Allegra couldn’t help but comment. Her stomach was now totally emptied.Isaac pinched a cigarette between his fingers. He hesitated briefly before saying, “Actually, he has a disease, so I can’t really blame him.”“Disease? What kind of disease?”“It’s a little like rabies. It’s quite rare; once it acts up, he may even bite himself.” Isaac looked up, gazing into the horizon. If he phrased it this way, Ally might understand better.Shock was written all over Allegra’s face. She fell silent.Before they knew it, they’d walked to the back alley behind Cloud City University. There were a lot of local delicacies here. Further behind was the Cloud River, also known as the River of Young Intellectuals—courtesy of its close proximity to the university.Allegra suddenly stopped in her tracks. She gazed at a small pizzeria opposite them.“The man who shared your name used to really like coming here for their pizzas.” Her voice was very
