When Louis hung up, Wendy was looking at him worriedly. “They want to see you? Is it from Internal Affairs again?”Louis said emotionally, “N–No, it’s from HQ. I think I might be getting some good news.As government officers, they were the most afraid of calls from Internal Affairs, but they welcomed calls from HQ. If the former wanted to see them, that meant they were toast. However, if the latter wanted to see them, it usually meant a raise or a promotion.“Really? Then, hurry. We have to get back and clean you up!” Wendy’s face lit up with joy.Isaac watched as Louis and Wendy left happily. He went back in and started to prepare to send Isabella to school.They’d finally found out Robin’s true identity. She was just a random orphan that Warwick had picked up from the streets to masquerade as Isabella. Isaac was going to ask Beefy Bob to send Robin to an orphanage later.For the past two days, Allegra couldn’t sleep well. She always felt disturbed and would jump up from her sleep be
The employees who’d left earlier followed Isaac back into the room. When they saw him, they’d filled him in on everything Allegra said. He knew that Allegra agreed to give up the rights to that land because she was too anxious when Isabella went missing.Seeing the people who left return to their seats along with Isaac, Allegra felt somewhat nervous.“Everyone, I think I should tell you what happened and why Ms. Booth gave up the land. At that time, it was true that we indeed procured the plat of land for development,” Isaac said solemnly after sitting down.“However, a sore loser company held a grudge against Ms. Booth and kidnapped her child, Isabella. They used her daughter as a bargaining chip to get the plot of land. Ms. Booth had no choice but to give up the land in exchange for her daughter’s safety.”The truth left all the employees shocked, and they started to discuss among themselves.Allegra hadn’t wanted to tell everyone that truth, but Isaac had already let the cat out of
Allegra tugged on Isaac’s sleeve and said unhappily, “Isaac, why do you keep getting Bob to do everything for you? Are you really that helpless without him? Why do you think he has to do everything you say? Even I feel bad for him. Also, what will you do once you find the director?”Allegra thought that it wasn’t fair for Isaac to keep getting Beefy Bob to cater to his whims and fancies.“We have to keep our promise to our employees. Otherwise, how are you planning to keep your company afloat?” Isaac asked, lighting up a cigarette as he looked at Allegra.Allegra knew that if she lost Pegasus No. 1 for good, many of her current employees would be leaving.Cloud City was different from other huge cities. It wouldn’t be easy for her to find so many employees with experience in property development again.“Fine, whatever. Since you don’t seem to be giving up anytime soon, I’ll go with you. I just don’t think anything will come out of it.” Allegra was starting to feel helpless.It was noon
After hearing what Isaac said, Chad broke into a huge fit of laughter. He said at once to Spencer, “Mr. Kyle, I can’t believe there are still stupid people like him in an advanced world like ours.”Then, he said, “Pegasus No. 1 is only the first stop for Reddar Corporation. It was like a dream come true when you willingly gave up your rights to it. Did you really think we’d return it to you?” He spoke with a hint of pride and disdain.He then pointed at Randall and said, chuckling, “Mr. Murray is one of the business pioneers in Cloud City. After your company gave up the rights, he immediately looked for Mr. Kyle. Such a pity that Reddar Corporation still managed to snap it up in the end.”Randall’s face instantly darkened. What Chad said was true.As soon as he got the official documents from Edward, he went to look for Spencer at once, thinking that Pegasus No. 1 would definitely belong to them now.However, when Spencer saw the document, he told Randall that there was no hope for Gou
Isaac approached her and said softly, “Ally, don’t be angry at me.”“Me? Angry at you? We’re not even related to each other in any way. Why would I be angry at you? I’m just mad about the way you’re handling things. Garth Properties is going to go bankrupt because of you,” Allegra said with her reddened eyes.“Pegasus No. 1 will be ours,” Isaac said in a low voice.Allegra smiled bitterly and turned to face Isaac with her hands folded across her chest. “Do you not know just how powerful Reddar Corporation is? Even Watson Kane himself doesn’t dare to offend them in any way! The president of Reddar Corporation is Henry Saber, and he has connections all over the world. You’re just a reformed prisoner, an ex-convict who thinks that everything can be solved with violence. Who are you to think you can go against them?”She continued, “If you hadn’t offended Spencer just now, Garth Properties would at least still have a future in Cloud City for the oncoming projects. Now, everything is ruined
Horace was beyond grateful after hearing what the two Cherubs had to say. He said to them, “Thank you, thank you so much! However, that bastard Isaac is quite powerful too, and he’s got two more powerful assistants—”Luke then interrupted Horace with a laugh, saying, “Mr. Kenne, you’re thinking too much. There isn’t a case that Astraeus can’t handle once they get involved.”The two Cherubs nodded softly and looked proud of themselves.It was clear that what Luke said had some truth to it.Seeing this, a trace of iciness flashed in Horace’s eyes. He muttered to himself, saying, “You’re so fucking done, Isaac Garten. You better count your remaining days!”That night, Allegra still hadn’t returned home. Eugene made a few dishes for dinner before calling her number.After hanging up, Isaac looked up from the couch and asked, “What did she say?”“She said she’s not coming home for dinner. Bad mood,” Eugene answered, looking helplessly at Isaac.The both of them stared at each other for a lo
Outside the glass doors, two figures suddenly appeared. They were the Cherubs from Astraeus, Charlie Gastin and Avon Tunner.They were surrounded by visible spiritual energy, which made Isaac narrow his eyes at them.“Isaac Garten, we are Cherubs from the South Division of Astraeus. Kindly come with us quietly,” Charlie said, showing his official Emerald Seal as proof of his identity. He then haughtily beckoned Isaac to follow him.Eugene was rather stunned. Cherubs? What were they? He’d never heard of them ever before.Moreover, these two newcomers looked like they were dressed from the 70s, albeit with a buzz cut. Was this a new dress code of the justice department?“Why should I come with you?” Isaac asked with a smirk.As expected, people from Astraeus worked differently.Charlie’s facial expression darkened. He said with a scoff, “Young man, are you not aware of the crimes you have committed? Or are you trying to tell us that you do not know what Astraeus is all about?”Avon said
Those who dared to challenge or disobey Astraeus were to be severely punished. That was why Avon used his ultimate move against Isaac when he saw that Charlie could not apprehend him.The green Shadow Fist flew toward Isaac with a deafening roar. However, Isaac just waved his other hand at the green fist, emitting a burst of red rays that instantly dissolved the Shadow Fist. The rays didn’t just stop there. They continued traveling, heading straight for Avon’s forehead.Avon’s eyes immediately narrowed when he saw this. He didn’t expect his opponent to be so powerful!“Double Shadow Fist!” Avon ducked and avoided the red rays, then hurled two more green fists with his spiritual energy at Isaac.Isaac pushed Charlie off with a burst of energy, making him stagger backward, and then he turned around to face Avon directly.Within ten seconds of facing off with Isaac, Avon quickly realized that the man before his eyes was a lot more powerful than he was. Isaac’s spiritual energy was more ov
