“Mr. Garten, we’ve got the answer. They work for Horace Kenne.” Old Brooks entered. He didn’t realize that the officers were there.“Horace Kenne?” Diana’s eyes widened. She looked at Isaac.Isaac stood and said to Diana, “Since you’re here, it’s your job to arrest those people.”“Isaac Garten, you can stay here or go back to Riverview. Let the officers handle this case. I’m more afraid of you.” Allegra frowned at him.Diana couldn’t contain her laughter when she saw Isaac being so meek.“Okay, I’ll stay back. Hey, tomboy. Why’re you still here? We told you who they were, didn’t we? It should be simpler for you now.” Isaac glanced at Diana, not knowing why she laughed at him.Diana glared at him. “Who are you calling—”She realized they weren’t alone and kept her temper in check. She had a better idea. She said, “Miss Booth, we’ll need Mr. Garten’s assistance since he found the clue.”Allegra replied coolly, “That’s none of my concern. Go ahead.”Isaac followed them out.“Wha
Golden Boy Hotel was on Aurum Main Street. By its name, everyone could easily relate it to the Golden Boy of Aurum County, Wilson Kenne, who was indeed the owner of this hotel.It was a merry sight in the karaoke room on the hotel’s fourth floor. Big Dog and his friends were enjoying their time to the fullest. They accomplished their mission, so all their expenditures were on Wilson.Two law enforcement cars stopped outside the hotel; Diana was in one of them, while the other was from Aurum County. Four men got off the second car. The leading officer was Theo Gardner, a good-looking young man with a solemn look.“Sorry for the trouble, Theo,” said Diana.“Ana, are you sure about this?” Theo asked hesitantly.Diana saw through him. She smiled and said, “Theo, they’re only a bunch of small fry, and I have evidence. You can assist from the side.” Seeing how Theo was still doubtful, Diana remembered Isaac’s words and continued, “C’mon, Theo. Just help me at the beginning, and I’ll han
Theo plastered on a flattering smile. “Mr. Kenne, I—I’m here to assist my colleague. They are the ones in charge.”He shifted the blame onto Diana. Theo apologized in his heart, “Don’t blame me, Ana. I can’t go up against this man in this county.”“Hey, gorgeous. You look familiar…Are you here to arrest my men?” Wilson scrutinized Diana closely, getting aroused. He thought, “She’s really hot!”“Your men committed a crime, so I’m here to arrest them,” Diana said, putting up a brave front.Wilson laughed abruptly. “My men committed a crime? That’s funny; they do that every day. Why did no one else come for them? Do you have evidence? Do you have a warrant?”Diana came in a hurry and didn’t bring a warrant because she never expected to meet Wilson here.Diana bit her lips and said nothing. Wilson’s face darkened, and he said coolly, “You’re merely small fries from Cloud City. How dare you arrest my men on my territory without a warrant? Are you freaking looking down on me?” Wilson e
When his gaze met Isaac’s, Wilson could not help but shiver; he almost peed his pants.“How did he arrive so soon? No, this is my territory. Why am I afraid of him?” Wilson tried to calm himself down.“Hey, Garten. What do you think you’re doing, bringing these fellas here? As if you own this place.”Isaac ignored him. He saw Diana, whose face was burning red. He frowned and pulled her to his side.“Who were the ones wreaking havoc at Chromo Office today? Who hurt Allegra?”Isaac stood in the middle of the room, his icy stare sweeping everyone’s faces.Big Dog held his head high as he suddenly shouted, “I did. So what? What can you do about it?” Mr. Kenne was on his side, and there were officers present too. When else to show off, if not now?Isaac turned toward Big Dog in an instant.The moment their eyes met, Big Dog shuddered. It felt as if a venomous snake was pinpointing him.Isaac’s figure blurred as he aimed for Big Dog’s throat.Next thing they knew, Isaac was lifting
Everyone looked toward the table and inhaled sharply. There were four bottles of wine, two bottles of spirit, and more than ten bottles of vodka…Would Wilson still be alive after guzzling them all?“What if I refuse?” Wilson trembled more vigorously; this guy was humiliating him.Isaac lit a cigarette as he sat on a sofa and looked directly at Wilson. He took a puff before saying softly, “If so, then you shall die!”Wilson pulled out his phone and roared, “Garten, I’m not going down like this. I’ll gather all my men now if I have to.” Old Brooks’ said casually, “You won’t get any signal in this hotel. Plus, I have hundreds of men standing guard outside—not even a single fly could fly out of here.”Wilson checked his phone. There was no signal!Many of the thugs did the same, and it was no different. They were unaware that Old Brooks had instructed his men to install a dozen or more signal blockers before he came up.“You have five seconds to reconsider your options. Once the ti
Diana lived downtown. Isaac propped her up, staggering, as they entered the residential area.The guard watched them and sighed, shaking his head. “Getting drunk in broad daylight. What have youngsters these days come to?”After entering the house and shutting the door, Diana turned around suddenly and clung onto Isaac, putting her arms around his neck. Her breath was warm, and her eyes lost their focus. She asked, “Wh—Why did you say I was your sister? Do I look like your sister?”Her body was soft and warm. Isaac frowned and tried to push her away, but Diana clung on tighter. “What other reasons could I have used to help you out, then?”“Hm…Why did you tell your girlfriend I caught those people when you were the one who did it? She doesn’t believe in your abilities, does she?”When Isaac did not respond, Diana burst out laughing.“Car—Carry me into the room. I’m tired,” muttered Diana. She snuggled up to Isaac.Isaac bent his body slightly and lifted her by her waist, carrying
Horace put down his cup; his eyes had a dangerous glint as he said, “Isaac Garten is purely despicable. It’s a shame that Mr. Bleu is still recovering; Isaac won’t be roaming freely otherwise.“Don’t worry, Mr. Kenne. I know of a few excellent ancient martial artists who are also planning something against him.” Warwick smirked. He decided to let Horace know about this piece of information.It was then that the door opened. A man in a suit darted in, looking frantic. “Boss, we have bad news.”“What made you lose your composure? Don’t you notice I have a guest?” Horace scolded.“Mr. Kenne Jr. is now in the hospital—he’s in a critical condition.” The man sobbed.Horace’s heart skipped a beat; his hair stood on the ends. He asked in disbelief, “What did you say? Why is Willy in the hospital? What the hell happened?”“Isaac Garten and his men went to Golden Boy Hotel and forced tons of liquor on Mr. Kenne Jr. His stomach was bleeding by the time he got there.”“What the hell? It’s t
“D—Doctor, how are they so calm after you yelled at them?” Emily was confused and asked softly.Harry waved nonchalantly. “As long as I can cure them, why does it matter?”Emily was speechless.In the clinic, two other middle-aged men were wearing the same cloaks. They were busy.Harry brought Mrs. Danson right into a treatment room. Emily, following behind, asked, “Doctor, who is treating my mom? Should I refer to him?”Harry looked too young to be a doctor; he might be a nurse or a doctor-in-training.“What are you talking about? I am treating your mother. Those two are my trainees.” Harry rolled his eyes. Then, he did a thorough examination of Mrs. Danson.Harry frowned and sighed multiple times as Emily watched him, stunned. Soon, he looked up and told her, “Her condition is not too bad; she’ll just need to undergo treatment consistently.”“B—But, Doctor, my mom—”“Renal failure and uremia. In our line, we consider your mother’s condition a disruption in the natural healin
