The crowd outside was growing. Wilson’s face was ferocious as he shouted at the men at the door, “All of you, get inside and kill him!” Suddenly, the sound of wailing sirens came from afar. It was the sound of a police car.When the thugs outside heard this noise, anxious looks crossed their faces. They were most afraid of hearing police sirens.Numerous police cars were speeding over. When passers-by saw this, they all took out their phones and began to record. Something big must be happening.Almost 20 police cars stopped by the side of the road, and dozens of uniformed men carrying pistols or batons got into formation to push forward.Very quickly, over a hundred armed law enforcement officers surrounded the cafe.“Who called the police here?” Wilson turned his beaten-up face to look at Neptune.“I—I don’t know.” Neptune was also scared shitless.Wilson directed his stormy gaze to Louis and said coldly, “Punk, it was you, wasn’t it? Did you think that by calling these peopl
Isabella’s words made Allegra’s face instantly flush red. She stammered out nonsense, averting her gaze before getting up and going to the kitchen.She kept thinking that her daughter had been crying because she was scared of those people at the cafe. One thing she didn’t understand was the fact that Isabella hadn’t known Isaac for that long, but why did they seem closer than she was with her? At sunset, Diana went home after work. Seeing her grandfather drinking tea in the pavilion, she immediately walked over.“Grandfather, I’ve got something interesting to share. Isaac murdered someone!” Her expression carried a hint of shock.Old Taylor paused. “Really? Who did he murder?”“That’s the interesting part. He said he killed our deputy chief’s nephew, but in the end, that fucker got off scot-free. Instead, our deputy chief got demoted five ranks and transferred to that bumfuck place Sibeska to do traffic duty.”Old Taylor smiled. “God has his own plans. Don’t get involved blindly
Big Anthony had constantly referred to Old Brooks and his men as “foreigners”. He did not bat an eyelid when Old Brooks took over a turf recently.“Wait, what are you saying? The Hibiscus Pavilion…”“Big Anthony, the foreigners had already taken over half of our territory. We suffered a huge loss. Why don’t we retreat to Orchid Street and prepare ourselves before going up against them?”“Are you kidding me? The Hibiscus Pavilion is my pride. How can I let it go just like that? Get over here now!” Big Anthony roared as he got out of bed. He was restless and furious. He found Wilson’s number but hesitated whether or not to call him.If it were not for Wilson borrowing a few dozen men from Big Anthony yesterday and getting them arrested, the foreigners would not be able to cause such intense damage. “Mr. Kenne, sorry to bother you. Can I please ask you for a favor… Sure, I'll be waiting!” Eventually, Big Anthony made the call. He briefly told Wilson what happened. To his surprise,
There was dead silence in the hall as both sides had a face-off.There were still signs of swelling on Wilson’s face. He looked around with a gloomy look, and finally, his gaze landed on Old Brooks. He took a few steps forward and said harshly, “I am Wilson Kenne from Aurum County, also known as ‘the Golden Boy’. Big Anthony is under my protection. If you’re determined to oppose us along with these men, your life shall end with theirs!”Many of Old Brooks’ men put down their weapons and surrendered in fright.In a matter of seconds, only a few people remain standing with Old Brooks.“Haha! Good, smart choice. Now, get lost while the rest of you stay back.” Wilson laughed triumphantly.He thought he intimidated them into surrendering. He did not know that it was because of the Kenne family’s influence that they gave in.Old Brooks’ face changed drastically when more people entered and joined Big Anthony’s side.“You foreigners, you had your moment. Now you’re left with less than
“Mr. Kenne, let’s get going,” Neptune urged in a lowered voice, his bald head shimmering with sweat.“Anthony, oh, Anthony. At your age, why don’t you just sit back and enjoy your life? Do some gardening or go fishing, perhaps?” Isaac waltzed and stopped in front of Big Anthony.A few brutes came out from behind Big Anthony and stood between them.“Garten, do you know who this is? He is the Golden Boy of Aurum County, Mr. Kenne. Lay a finger on me, and he’ll surely chase you down.”“Is that so? But I remember slapping him thrice today. Look at his face. It’s still swollen.” Isaac chuckled.Big Anthony turned around and noticed the swelling on Wilson’s face. Wilson was holding in his rage and embarrassment.Big Anthony was stunned.Isaac swiped toward Big Anthony before those brutes could react. They blacked out for a moment as a vigorous blow thrust them aside.Isaac held Big Anthony in a chokehold and lifted him off the ground. Big Anthony felt suffocated.“Wh—What do you t—t
“Who are you? Who is your sister?” Isaac asked, frowning. He found this man rather peculiar.Finn laughed and suddenly lashed out at Isaac’s face. His speed was extraordinary. At this distance, it was not easy to dodge his punch. However, Isaac dodged his punch easily and, almost immediately, countered with a blow to Finn’s wrist.Finn felt a tingling sensation on his wrist. He recoiled.“You’re quite good. No wonder my sister called me. You’d better be nice to her tomorrow for her to change her mind. Oh, right, remember to get her a birthday gift!” Finn said as he got into the car.Isaac stood watching as the strange man left. He thought for a moment, and the Taylor family came to mind. Eugene made breakfast this morning. When he saw Isaac entering, he got up and prepared the cutleries.Margaret snorted when she saw Isaac and got up from the table. “I’m done eating,” she said emotionlessly and left. After a while, she turned back and said, “Ally, let’s go to the office togeth
Allegra glanced at her mother. As expected, Margaret looked moody.In the afternoon, Isaac was resting on the sofa when his phone started vibrating. It was a call from an unknown number. He hesitated shortly and picked it up.“Isaac, you can’t attend Ana’s birthday banquet tomorrow,” a familiar voice sounded in a commanding tone.It did not take long for Isaac to figure out it was Charles calling.“Why can’t I attend?” Isaac laughed.An hour ago, Phillip had sent Isaac the invitation card. Isaac was not interested in attending Diana’s birthday banquet, so he was not planning to go. “I’m going to propose to Diana tomorrow. If you screw things up for me, I’ll screw you up.” Charles sounded angry.Isaac ignored him and cut the call.“Now that sounds interesting,” Isaac muttered as he lit a cigarette.Charles called again, but Isaac hung up without answering. It happened several times before Charles decided to text instead. “Garten, this is my last warning. My patience is running
Diana knew this was not her usual style of dressing. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but her mother demanded that she wear it, saying this was how a lady should dress. When Diana looked up, she saw Isaac smiling at her from a corner of the ballroom.Her expression changed instantly, and she glared at Isaac. Then, the crowd engulfed her.Everyone’s attention was on Diana. Old Taylor and Phillip came in after her. They looked around and came forward to greet Isaac as soon as they found him.“Mr. Garten, you’re so early. Thanks for coming!” Old Taylor chuckled.“You’re being too kind. Please go ahead if you’re busy. I’ll help myself.” Isaac waved his hands.At this moment, Old Taylor frowned and whispered, “Mr. Garten, Ana is a headstrong girl. I heard she found someone to embarrass you today. If anything happens, please don’t worry, as I’ll sort it out.” Old Taylor knew his granddaughter had prejudice toward Isaac, but he did not expect her to invite Southern Gianva’s top warrio
