Isaac accepted Allegra’s suggestion without a fuss and started making himself comfortable.Old Alec was shaking with anger and instructed Edward to drive them off. But Edward was already weak at his knees and could not think of anything else.Edward and Margaret knew Isaac meant it when he threatened to take Edward’s life.Hence, Isaac, Allegra, and Beefy Bob stayed at the Gould family’s house the whole day.Margaret noticed Edward’s head was in a muddle. She gave it some thought and whispered an idea into his ear.When she finished speaking, Edward looked at her and asked, “Are you sure this will work?”Margaret retorted, “Would you rather lose the 60 million dollars instead?”Edward thought about it and said through gritted teeth, “Not on my life.”“See? Let’s stall them while you get Randall’s help to get through to Mr. Kenne. We must take action as soon as possible.” Margaret patted Edward’s shoulder in assurance.A short while later, Margaret appeared at Allegra’s room do
Beefy Bob got out of the car and walked up to the four men. They looked like practitioners of ancient martial arts. Beefy Bob called out, “Hey, why are you standing in the middle of the road? You’re standing in our way!”One of them replied solemnly, “We’re students from the Divine Fists School, here on our teacher’s orders to take down Isaac Garten. Those uninvolved should step aside!”Allegra was fearful. She asked, “They… they’re here for you. What should we do?”“Let’s take a stroll. Don’t concern yourself with these trivial matters.” Isaac chuckled nonchalantly.Allegra still looked worried as Isaac assisted her out of the car and went in the opposite direction.When the four men saw Isaac leaving, one of them called out immediately, “Garten! Get back here and receive your punishment.”In a split second, all four men made their moves. A thick wave of spiritual energy enveloped them as they went after Isaac.“Hah! You’re not going anywhere before defeating me.” Beefy Bob lau
“Dad, Mom, can you leave us for a minute? I have something to ask Grandpa.”Albert and Jane left the room.Old Taylor felt distressed seeing his granddaughter in this weakened state. Thankfully, she was alright. He let out a sigh of relief.“Grandpa, who is Isaac? You know the answer, don’t you?” Diana was determined.If Isaac was just a reformed prisoner, how could he throw off someone so skilled just like that?Besides, he got off after killing Charles.“Ana, knowing too much might bring you danger. Do you insist on knowing?”“Yes, Grandpa. I’ll be fine.”Old Taylor nodded and looked outside at the night sky. He said admiringly, “He came from a place known as the Temple of Drakon. It’s every warrior's dream to be there.”“Temple of Drakon… Jerk, he lied to me again,” Diana said haughtily, clenching her fists.Old Taylor stopped her anxiously, “Don’t say that, Ana. You must speak and act respectfully toward Mr. Garten.”“Hmph, I’m not afraid of him! How could he call me a t
Emily was stunned. The car before them was a high-performing car from the 7 Series; it would cost roughly two million dollars. Could Isaac really afford it, or was he simply joking around?As these thoughts ran through her mind, Emily looked toward Nelson. Nelson had been in this business for more than ten years; he could easily differentiate who could or could not purchase a car.If Isaac could afford a car, Nelson would never have asked her to take over.“Hey, is there any problem?” Isaac asked again.Emily shook her head. “Of course not. This model is a high-performing 760 that would cost about two million dollars. Are… are you sure?”Isaac sensed the doubt in Emily’s tone. He pulled out his bank card and said with a smile, “I’ll pay with this card.”Nelson looked over and noticed Emily walking hurriedly toward the finance office. He frowned and immediately followed her.“Emily, is he making a purchase?” Nelson asked when he saw the card Emily was holding, shocked.Emily nod
“I told you, he’s just my high school classmate. It’s pure coincidence.”Nelson got angrier as he thought about it. He pointed his finger right at Emily and scolded vilely, “High school classmate, my ass! Why would he buy such an expensive car from you if he’s nothing more but an ex-classmate to you? Shameless whore. Get out of my way!”“Mr. Wood, you owe me an apology.” Emily had tears in her eyes. She trembled with anger at his derogatory remarks.Nelson raised his hand when he heard this, a fierce look on his face, and he was about to slap Emily when someone stopped him.Isaac grasped Nelson’s hand and said coldly, “You’re the one with terrible manners. What makes you think you can degrade someone else?"Nelson turned and saw Isaac. He lost his cool as his anger flared. He shoved Isaac, bellowing, “Why does it concern you when I’m teaching my staff a lesson? Get your car or leave it. I don’t give a damn anymore!”Isaac slapped Nelson so hard that Nelson swiveled on his heels a
Scott burst out laughing when he heard what Isaac said. Nelson and the brutes who came with him laughed as well.Even Emily looked weirdly at Isaac.Royal Automobile was a branded car dealer—its net worth was a few hundred million dollars. One could only dream of wrecking a shop like this.“Haha! I’ve come across many boastful youngsters to date, but you’re the only one who dared brag to this extent. Alright. Entertain me. I hope you have enough money to compensate me.” Scott folded his arms and sat on a chair.The other staff members roared with laughter. They thought Isaac was out of his mind.Those who managed to start a business like this in Cloud City were definitely not average entrepreneurs.Isaac puffed on his cigarette as he waited.About 20 minutes later, three black Jeeps screeched to a halt outside the store. Several men hurried to the door and blocked the exit.Scott stood and eyed them doubtfully.More cars arrived, and this time, approximately 20 men got out. Aa
Caleb sized up the situation and frowned when he saw the crowd of men in the store. He pulled out his phone.Caleb approached Isaac and asked sternly, “Such disrespectful behavior in broad daylight! Spill the beans. Who sent you here?”“Mr. Sutten, I did a rough estimate of the loss we suffered, and it’s at least 23 million dollars. Let’s make him pay for the damage he did,” Scott chimed in.23 million dollars! Emily’s heart jolted, and she looked toward Isaac immediately.Isaac chuckled. “Your staff did a bad job serving me as a client. Why don’t we go over this issue first?”“What’s this talk about bad service? You smashed my store into pieces! Are you expecting an apology from me?” Caleb scoffed.Aaron spoke up abruptly, “Mr. Sutten, do you remember me? We had dinner last night.”Caleb was stunned when he saw Aaron. His eyes widened, and he beamed. “Mr. Hayes! What brings you here? These men…”“Mr. Brooks sent me,” Aaron informed coldly.Mr. Brooks!Caleb was horrified. He
Caleb saw Isaac and Aaron off respectfully and did not budge until Isaac received his new car.Emily trotted up to Isaac, beaming as she offered, “Isaac, please allow me to drive you back with this car. I’d like to explain a few precautions you should take note of.”Emily put on what she thought was her most sincere smile.She never thought Isaac would be so high and mighty now. Most importantly, he was her only hope to wriggle out of her debt to the store.Neither of them, not even Nelson or Scott, dared go against Mr. Sutten’s orders.Emily started panicking when Isaac remained silent. She spoke swiftly, “Isaac, please help me. I can’t afford the compensation. Three million dollars is really… Please help me get out of this. I was at fault earlier. I looked down on you. Isaac—”“I’ll take my leave. See you later.” Isaac bobbed his head, rolled up the car window, and drove off.Emily fell into despair as the white BMW went out of sight.She rejected Isaac once in high school an
