Allen thought his son had made it out of the lion’s den, but just as he bolted toward the stage frantically, Isaac suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it on Gregory’s head.The power from his palm bore straight through Gregory’s head with the force of 100 pounds!Before he could even take in a breath, Gregory’s eyes popped open, and he fell to his knees next to Isaac. A look of agony materialized and became permanently etched on his face.The audience gaped at the sight of Mr. Merck Jr. suddenly kneeling next to Isaac as blood poured from his eyes, nose, and ears.He was bleeding from all his orifices.This guy just killed the son of the Merck family right in front of his father? Mr. Merck Jr. of Cloud City was dead?“From now onward, anyone who dares to touch Allegra or Isabella will end up like this person next to me!” Isaac’s words resonated through the depths of everyone’s souls as if they had come from an endless abyss.“Son!” Allen screamed, rushing onto the stage t
No matter how powerful the Merck family was, they were ultimately no match for this troop.Allen glared at Isaac. He knew he was done for, completely done for. His foolish son had been too impulsive!After a minute, Allen carried his son’s body under everyone's shocked gaze and walked down from the stage.The Merck family’s supporters followed after Allen and quickly left the scene.Everything that had just unfolded had greatly impacted Alec, his son, and the Booth family.With their own eyes, they had just witnessed how Isaac had killed Gregory and caused him to bleed from all his orifices with just one slap. And why were there so many guards all of a sudden? Even helicopters had come.More importantly, the head of the Merck family had voluntarily backed down!This time, the uniformed personnel didn’t greet Isaac. Instead, he looked at Beefy Bob.“On guard!” Beefy Bob shouted coldly. The uniformed personnel waved his hand, and the exit that was open earlier was quickly closed
Once Isaac and his girls left, the uniformed guards rapidly cleared the scene as well, leaving behind only the dumbfounded guests, the Gould family, and the Booth family. Edward quickly rushed to Alec’s side. He used his arm to support his father, who was almost kneeling on the floor, and shouted, “Father, are you okay?”Alec looked at the sky and said sorrowfully, “This is our family's misfortune. A misfortune indeed.”Blood spewed from his mouth, and his body collapsed onto the floor. Edward exclaimed in shock and pulled the patriarch up before he fell. He sobbed, “Father, please be okay.”“C—call Randall, and t—tell him that this old man has a favor to ask,” Alec muttered, closing his eyes. The person he wanted to see most right now was his star student, the head of the Murray family.Andrew’s wedding couldn’t proceed. Nonetheless, no one dared to spread this incident even after everyone left. They even secretly deleted the photos and videos that they took. The situation w
Gregory’s death sent shockwaves throughout Cloud City. While the Gould and Booth families were shrouded in dark clouds, the Merck family was devastated.Inside the Green Hills Funeral Parlor, dozens of the Merck family relatives gathered in the funeral hall. Allen was dressed in funeral attire. He, who had to bury his son, had red eyes and wore a dark expression.“Allen, we can’t allow Gregory’s death to be in vain. That Isaac is nothing but a convict; there is no way he has the power to summon so many guards. Something is wrong here,” a chubby man said with a frown.He was Allen’s younger brother, Simon Merck. To him, this tragedy was a pleasant surprise.His brother was old now, and he only had one son. Everyone in the family knew that the Merck family’s business would be passed on to Gregory. But now, his own son stood a chance. Simon glanced at his son. The latter got the hint and stepped forward, saying, “Uncle Allen, leave the matter of avenging Gregory’s death to me, Wil
“What’s wrong?” Isaac asked.“Isabella got into a fight at school. The teacher said she beat another kid. If I head to the school from here, it will take over an hour. Could you…”“I’ll head over now. Be there in 20,” Isaac said, already making his way out.Upon arriving at Floralis Elementary School, Isaac quickly walked toward the teacher’s room. Looking ahead, he saw Isabella standing by the wall with her head bowed.Next to her was a fat boy sitting on a chair with his leg propped up and sipping some milk. Opposite him was a young man wearing glasses. “Isabella, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Isaac knelt in front of Isabella. When he looked up, he saw bright red finger marks on Isabella’s face.“Are you Isabella’s parent? Where is her mother?” the spectacled young man asked coldly about Isaac’s identity.Isaac turned around and glanced icily at this man. “Who hit my Bella? And who are you?”The young man’s heart seized when he caught Isaac’s cold gaze. He immediately furrowe
Allegra immediately panicked when she heard the teacher’s words. She got in Isaac’s face and said angrily, “Can you not run your mouth here? Why must you always complicate matters?”Then, she turned to the head teacher to ask for forgiveness. “Mr. Carson, I’m so sorry. This is our fault. I’ll punish her and reflect deeply, so please don’t expel Isabella.”What Isaac didn’t know was that Allegra’s apologetic behavior right now was commonly seen in many parents.When the head teacher saw the pleading Allegra, he snorted and said to Isaac, “Hmph. Let’s wait for Tyler’s father to come. We’ll settle this issue then.”“Who was it who had the guts to hit my son?” An angry voice sounded from outside, and a burly man sporting a buzzcut strode in.“Dad, that’s the bastard child who hit me. She even asked someone to come over and scold me.” Tyler immediately hopped off the chair and ran into his father’s arms.Colin Green wore a light blue shirt and a gold wristwatch. He pointed at Allegra
“You’re just a reformed prisoner. Do you really think you’re all high and mighty? Get out, get the hell out!” Allegra was getting increasingly agitated because she was terrified that her daughter would lose access to education.“Ally, please trust me. Just go outside with Bella for a moment and leave things here to me. If Bella gets expelled, I’ll do anything you ask of me!” Isaac said emphatically, looking at Allegra.Allegra paused. Then, she quieted down and stared at Isaac coldly. She also knew that Isaac wouldn’t leave right now.“Okay, you promised. If Bella can no longer get an education, you must disappear from our lives!”“Okay, I promise.”Allegra immediately took Isabella out of the room. She also wanted to ask Isabella who had actually started the fight first.There were only four people left in the room. Isaac lit a cigarette, looking at the swollen faces of Jeremy and Colin. He said icily, “My request is very simple. I want your son out of this school and for you tw
Isaac walked up to a puzzled and shocked Allegra. He smiled and said, “Everything is okay now. Let’s go.”Just as they headed outside, Colin’s phone rang. He brought his phone to his ear and immediately heard the head teacher, Jeremy’s voice. “Mr. Green, we may be able to get another sum of money from that fool. Are you interested?”In Jeremy’s eyes, Isaac was nothing but a rich dolt. He had just gotten 500 thousand dollars, and now he had found another “business opportunity.”As soon as their car left, Allegra’s phone rang. When she saw that it was Jeremy’s number, her chest tightened. “O—Okay, Mr. Carson. We’ll be right back.”She put down the phone and said to Isaac, who was driving, “Turn around now. Mr. Carson said we can’t leave yet.”“Can’t leave yet?” Isaac thought, furrowing his brows.When they arrived at the office again, Jeremy was sitting down with his leg propped up. When he saw them enter, he immediately slammed his hand onto the desk and shouted angrily, “The pr
