“Do you think nothing will happen if you stay in the car, Isaac?” Charles shouted.Warwick stepped forward and hollered, “Garten, I give you ten minutes. My men will start shooting if you are not out of the car by then.”Albert heard him, and his face paled instantly; Jane shrieked—her eyes rolled backward, and she fainted on the spot.“Warwick, for the sake of our friendship, please don’t harm Ana. She’s innocent!” Albert begged.He knew these soldiers were under Warwick’s command—they only listened to Warwick’s instructions.“Innocent? She should’ve known the consequences when she went off with Garten.” Warwick’s eyes were cold.Albert’s heart dropped, and his legs gave way. He kneeled in front of Warwick and started to beg earnestly.Diana saw everything, and tears ran down her cheeks.“How did it come to this? Isaac, what shall we do?” Diana shouted.Isaac stared at Warwick, who was as proud as a peacock, and his eyes turned cold. “Let’s get down.”The car doors clicked o
Isaac’s slap sent Warwick spinning like a top, his rifle fell, and he was dazed.Isaac reached out again. He held Warwick by his throat and lifted him, saying coldly, “A commander of 50 thousand soldiers, huh? Fascinating.”Isaac gave him another slap. Warwick spat out a mouthful of blood.“Hey you, let our commander go immediately, or we’ll start shooting.” The man with a crew cut went down on one knee and got into a shooting position.The rest of the soldiers followed suit.Albert and Diana were stunned.How did Isaac manage to dodge the bullet at such a short distance? He even caught Warwick with his bare hands!“How could you hit me in public? You’re committing a capital offense!” Warwick roared unceasingly, his mouth full of blood.Isaac slapped him for the third time. “If your subordinates open fire, I’ll make sure you die here and now.”With that, Isaac turned around and used Warwick as a shield.The soldiers were now in a dilemma. The bullets would definitely hit Warw
Everyone was astounded, more so Warwick. He grabbed the document and read it thoroughly.“What’s the meaning of this? What’s the reason for my dismissal?” Warwick roared at Old Jackson.Old Jackson shrugged. “There’s no reason. You may leave.” He commanded the soldiers, “Squad! Fall in. Dress right, dress. Ready, front. Dismiss.”Nobody dared disobey his orders. They assembled promptly and left in their respective vehicles.Warwick and Charles exchanged a glance. Albert was on pins and needles. The turn of events was too abrupt.When Warwick and Charles turned to leave, Isaac called out, “Did I say you could leave?”The dust had not settled. Albert bolted toward Beefy Bob and pulled Diana into his car.Warwick tensed up as Isaac approached. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He looked around to realize the only one who could help him at that moment was Albert.“Albert, please help me hold him off.”Albert looked up to see Warwick begging him. He smirked. “My wife is unco
Outside the operating room of the best hospital in Aurum County, Warwick, whose face was bruised and swollen, stood anxiously outside the door, smoking.Hurried footsteps sounded from his right. When he turned to look, he saw Wyatt, who was pushing their family patriarch in his wheelchair, and a handful of relatives. “Warwick, how’s Charlie? How bad is it? Why are you injured too?” Wyatt looked shell-shocked.“Just what the hell happened?” Hunter asked, his eyes aflame with fury.“Father, I was careless. I didn’t expect that Garten bastard to be this skilled.” Warwick gritted his teeth.He recounted today’s events. Then, Wyatt clenched his fists and growled, “That asshole is a bully who’s gone too far. He’s treating our family as if we’re fruits for him to squash.”“Now that you’ve been suspended, what will you do?” Hunter asked with a cold expression.Warwick’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. “It’s better that I’m now suspended. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to crush that lit
The Beacon Clinic was ablaze with lights. Several luxury cars were parked outside; almost everyone in the Kane family was there.The provincial capital hospital had already classified Watson’s food poisoning case as critical. The chief doctor had simply explained that the toxins had already circulated through his body and that conventional medicine could no longer help him. All they could do was transfer him to the Beacon Clinic in hopes that holistic medicine would help.“Where is Mr. Crowe? Why hasn’t he come?” a middle-aged man sitting next to the bed roared at a few doctors wearing white robes.His name was Edgar Kane, Watson’s younger brother and the vice president of the Kane Enterprise. He shared a close relationship with his brother. When he heard about his brother’s sudden illness, he immediately rushed to the hospital with his wife and kids.“Mr. Kane, Mr. Crowe has just returned from visiting his grandchildren abroad and is still recovering from jetlag at home. We’ve alr
“Father, there’s no need to treat this patient. Ask his family to take him away,” Oliver suddenly said.Edgar was stunned. He frowned and said, “Why not? Our family isn’t short of money.”Oliver pointed at Isaac and said coldly, “All of my family’s medical centers will not take in any friend of his. From now on, Isaac is on my family’s blacklist.”All the Kanes inside and outside the hospital room looked at Isaac in unison. A heated look suddenly shone in Roger’s eyes.If the Beacon Clinic didn’t treat his father, then his father would die without question.“Isaac, you bastard, you are going to kill my father. You’re nothing but an animal,” Roger cursed.“Who is this person? How could this be? Isn’t this clearly taking away Watson’s chance of survival?”“Watson kept talking about this Mr. Garten, but who would’ve thought he would have beef with the Beacon Clinic? What a mess.”The family members began to throw accusations. Roger knew this was the best opportunity to divert atte
Oliver didn’t know how cruel this person in front of him could be, but George did.Seeing Beefy Bob grab his son and walk toward the window, George immediately reached out his hand and shouted, “Stop, stop now. Let my son go. I’ll treat him.”Beefy Bob paused for a couple of seconds, but when he didn’t hear any new instructions from Isaac, he lifted Oliver and threw him out the window.There was a loud crash.“Ah…” Oliver screamed in terror as he fell from the broken window.George shouted for his son, running to the window. When he saw that Oliver had landed in a bed of flowers below, his knees crumpled, and he fell to the floor.He raised his finger at Isaac with a terrifying expression on his face. Gritting his teeth, he said, “You animals, I’ll…”“If you don’t treat him now, I’ll go to your house. As you know, I can get quite cruel to someone who doesn’t listen to my words. The next Crowe family member to fall might not fall from the third floor, but the 13th or even the 30t
Edgar’s eyes widened. Then, he shook his head vigorously and said, “Mr. Garten, you sure have a sense of humor. Roger is Watson’s son; how could he…”“If you stay tonight and be on the lookout, you’ll know whether what I’m saying is the truth or otherwise. If Roger truly did it, then tonight would be his last chance to do something. As his uncle, you must stay,” Isaac said in a low voice.Edgar would never have believed this in a million years—how could a son kill his father? But at the same time, he found his brother’s food poisoning a little fishy.“Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll find a place to watch over Watson’s hospital room.”Isaac nodded before rolling up his window.At 3 am, Edgar found a room opposite his brother’s room. He shut off the lights and trained his gaze on the opposite room.As he watched Roger and his girlfriend, Daisy Merck, sit by the bed while on their phones, he began to feel sleepy.Suddenly, he saw Roger get up, walk to the window, and draw the cur
