Wes was staying at the presidential suite on the top floor. It was Harriet who'd arranged this room for him. It was now past midnight, and after he received this phone call, he was so angry that he was about to start breathing fire from his nostrils.He still didn't know about Isaac's failed assassination because he'd handed this task to his assistant. After all, for him, it was considered crossing national borders.In case any issues cropped out, he still had a reason to escape.After pacing back and forth, Wes immediately took out his phone and dialed Harriet's number. The line only connected after a long time, then Harriet's sleepy voice sounded through the phone."Ms. Hailey, Isaac broke my nephew's leg, and now my nephew is hanging by a thread. Might I ask if this is how Cynea treats their foreign guests who came from afar?"Instantly, Harriet was so scared that cold sweat drenched her body. After a quick beat, she said through gritted teeth, "This Isaac is simply out of cont

"You can't leave. You need to arrest Isaac. Are you all blind? Didn't you watch him murder someone?" Harriet shrieked furiously.The leader among the officers turned to Harriet apologetically and said, "Sorry, we only heed our superior's orders." Then, he waved his hand and bellowed, "Fall back!"Soon after, the officers cleared out of the room.Harriet raised a finger, pointing at Louis. Her chest heaved as she roared, "Louis, you have just protected a murderer. You are abusing your power for personal reasons. I will report you to the head tomorrow!""Whatever." Louis shrugged. He didn't have many good things to say about this moron.Isaac lit a cigarette, turning to look at Wes, whose face was now twisted into a nasty expression. "If you call your nimjas to come now, you might still make it in time," he said.Wes' eyes were burning with murderous intent. He then said to Harriet, "Ms. Hailey, if you're going to shield a murderer, then I'm sorry. I'm leaving Cynea right away."

"They'd sent people to this room in advance to assassinate me. I'm sure you now know what type of people the Warhunt Corporation, whom you invited, is?"Harriet said nothing, covering her mouth and sobbing."Go to the hospital. Then, tell your boss what happened. He won't blame you for this. You no longer should be involved in the Carbotta City scenic development project!" Isaac said gently.After Harriet left, Isaac turned to look at Emily on the bed. The redness on her cheeks hadn't gone away; instead, it was increasingly getting obvious. Isaac frowned, picked her up in a bridal carry, and returned to his own room.After all, it was already the middle of the night, and Harry had left Cloud City two hours ago and was on his way here.After Isaac carried Emily to his room, Louis entered. He said in a quiet voice, "Mr. Garten, I've notified the relevant unit to handle the situation downstairs. You don't need to worry about it." Then, he glanced at Emily, who was lying on the bed wi

Isaac had never heard this name before."Invite them in," he said, nodding.Soon, two men, one young and one old, entered.The man walking in front looked about the same age as Isaac. He wore a branded tracksuit and a pair of flashy sunglasses. Behind him was a robed man with gray hair and a kind smile."You're Isaac?" The young man took off his sunglasses, glancing at Isaac with scrutiny and doubt. Seeing that scrutinizing gaze, Isaac's tone naturally became a little cold. "May I know who you are?" Upon hearing that, the young man plopped himself down in front of Isaac, propped one leg up on the other, and smiled. "My name is Benjamin Norton, and this man behind me is my butler, Fred Bowie."Fred nodded at Isaac, smiling.When Isaac said nothing, Benjamin chuckled lightly and said, "It's okay if you've never heard of us. After all, we usually stay lowkey. But since you killed Earl Ashleigh, I'm sure you've heard of the Norton family!"Isaac's eyes widened slightly. Benjamin

"Sure. If she's willing to do it, then it's up to her," Isaac said with a nod as he secretly wiped off his sweat.Meanwhile, across the southern ocean was Jolkyo, Rippan. Jolkyo was the central city of Rippan and an international city. All the tycoons and wealthy families established their roots here.One of them was the Mortodor family, who were also the major bosses behind the Warhunt Corporation. Their family villa was decorated with funeral wreaths, and a deep sense of sadness lingered in the spacious manor. Three old men in funeral suits knelt beside the two coffins. Further down, a sea of kneeling people filled the hall. On the lawn outside, many men in dark suits were also on their knees; among them were a bunch of nimjas dressed in various colors.Sheldon and Wes lay in the coffins. Their corpses had just arrived an hour ago, but the higher-ranking family members of the Mortodor family had already known about this before dawn broke.The Mortodor family was led by five bro
