To most people, Horace and Wilson were cruel and ruthless. They were also close to the martial arts powerhouses on Mt. Equest. After years of effort, the Kenne family owned an extensive network within the underground and the government.On the other hand, after Declan graduated from university 20 years ago, he never returned to Cloud City. No one knew Horace had an elder brother who started as a government worker in Pecling that rose the ranks to become who he was today.After Declan spoke, Jay Huff stood up too. Horace’s brows furrowed further.Horace clearly understood that he and Declan were on different paths. For the past 20 years, he had only asked for Declan’s help three times, only when he was in a pinch. Other than that, he had been fighting his way through life by his own means.He didn’t want to endanger Declan, but Declan’s support gave him courage.“Isaac, I advise you to leave immediately. Today is unlike any other; you can save yourself from trouble.” Horace started
Tristan smiled at that, caressing the emerald ring on his index finger. He thought, “Interesting guy. I wonder how long he can keep this up for?”Horace looked furious on the surface but was secretly delighted. That fool blatantly hit anyone he came across. Just wait and see!Blood streamed from Jay’s nose. He searched for his phone to continue making the call, but it was useless after the fall.Isaac went up to Declan, and they stared at each other until Declan averted his gaze. He was expressionless, but many thoughts were flashing across his mind.Why was he afraid of this guy’s gaze?If Declan revealed his identity, most people present would be shocked.He held a formidable position in Pecling and had high authority.He had no regard for any of the officers in Southland, but now his hair stood on ends just from the stare-off with Isaac. His palms were sweaty.“Let me guess. You’re the Kenne family’s greatest shield, aren’t you?” Isaac broke into a grin.Horace inhaled shar
Watson’s actions humiliated Horace and the rest of the Kenne family.Declan squinted and glared at him icily.“Watson, are you in your right mind?” Tristan shot Watson a peculiar smile.Watson merely glanced at him and didn’t reply.Only Beefy Bob and Watson knew who Isaac truly was. He wasn’t sure why Isaac wanted five million dollars in cash, but he believed Isaac had his reasons.“Haha! Sure. We’ll know the results after three days.” Isaac laughed as he looked at Declan.He originally intended to wipe Horace out today but changed his mind after seeing Declan and Jay.Since they attempted to use the law against him, he would do the same too.“You bastard. Even if you leave now, I’ll arrest you immediately,” Jay roared.Jay wasn’t so foolish as to go up directly against Isaac when the Kenne family’s subordinates clearly dared not make a move. Besides, that stout guy behind Isaac was glaring at everyone.Watson left with Isaac. He paid his respect and didn’t mind what the Ken
The Kenne family might resort to extreme measures when they hear about this.In the meantime, the Kenne family had seen off most of their relatives and friends; only a dozen of the Kenne family’s core members gathered in the living room of their mansion. Jay stayed back, too, enduring the pain.Patrick was admitted to the hospital after the slap. Horace called Azure Sect’s elders to inform them about the incident.Isaac survived and came after Horace. This news was humiliating to Axel Parry, an elder from Azure Sect.“Declan, Isaac won’t let it slide this easily. I’m very concerned,” Horace said to Declan.Declan immediately turned toward Jay and asked coldly, “Mr. Huff, I thought you sent a team of men after Isaac. What’s the progress?”Jay’s heart jolted. He mumbled, “I h—have yet to hear from them.”“Useless!” Declan scolded. Jay could only nod.Declan heaved a long sigh secretly when he saw Horace’s worried expression and the hopeful looks on the rest of the family.He cou
“Excuse me, this gentleman is my client. He couldn’t book an appointment because today is the last day of the sales promotion. Can you please let him through?” Emily smiled as she spoke nicely to the security guards.The security guards looked at each other, smiled, and let Isaac through.Emily was new here, and their superior wished they would look out for new hires. Furthermore, Emily was the most beautiful woman in the sales office, which was more important to them.Not only did the security guards want to be on good terms with the beauty, but the male janitors, too.Meanwhile, Rory was here because he heard about Emily getting a new job.“Issac, wh—why are you here?” Emily whispered nervously.“I’m planning to put Riverview on sale. Then, I saw the advertisement and thought the villas looked nice, so I came to check them out. I didn’t know they set the bar so high.” Isaac chuckled.Emily nodded silently. The requirement to book an appointment was an asset review of at least
Bridget had just returned to her spot. She was startled and instantly dashed over. She started yelling at Emily incessantly, “Emily Danson, I’m on the same page as Mr. Mandela. Do you need me to repeat it for a third time? If you do, then you can stop coming to work.” Bridget turned to Isaac and released the rest of her anger. “And you, sir. Mr. Mandela is looking to make a purchase. Can you please not interrupt Emily’s job? If you want to converse with pretty women, you may go to a bar somewhere, and I’m sure they’ll satisfy your needs. Here, we only sell high-end villas.”Emily bit her lips. Isaac promptly spoke up as he stared at Bridget, “Why are you convinced I’m not purchasing a villa? How sure are you that I won’t be able to afford one?” Isaac said to Emily, “Ignore them. Show me the best unit.”Emily took in a deep breath and plastered on a professional smile. She gestured for Isaac to follow her to the architectural model.Bridget was dumbfounded. Isaac was calm and compose
Rory perked up when he heard Arnold.Emily shuddered and inhaled sharply. She didn’t know who Tristan was, but she knew Reddar Corporation.Reddar Corporation’s headquarters was in Southland, with its business operations spanning across the country in various fields such as finance, food and beverages, healthcare, and so on.Isaac squinted. He remembered the same company snatched Pegasus No. 1 from them. What a coincidence to run into them again when he was only buying a house.“But I paid for it and even signed the agreement. Are you telling me that you’re taking it back?” Isaac smiled faintly.Arnold instantly smiled and replied, “Mr. Garten, you have our utmost respect. Although Mr. Martin booked the best unit, we still have other villas of similar build in our residential area. If you’re inclined to change, we can give you our best offer.”“Do I look like someone who can’t afford the unit?” Isaac’s eyes turned cold; Arnold was startled.Arnold was a veteran in this field; he
Sure enough, Tristan stopped and looked at Isaac.Isaac waved the agreement and memorandum of transfer at him.Arnold flushed instantly. When Tristan looked at him, his sweat started streaming down his head.“Mr. Martin, h—he insisted on purchasing the villa. I told him I saved it for you.”Tristan kept staring at Arnold. Arnold felt immense pressure.Suddenly, Arnold slapped himself and begged Tristan, “Mr. Martin, i—it’s my fault. I’m willing to be punished.”Tristan’s stare forced Arnold into slapping himself! Everyone else held their breaths.Tristan looked toward Isaac and smirked. He pointed at himself and asked, “So, are you saying you’re competing with me for this unit?”Everyone looked at Isaac; they knew Tristan was giving him a chance.However, Isaac pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He grinned and said, “It’s mine. Why do I have to compete for it? Pegasus No. 1, though, I’d like to have it back.”If it wasn’t Tristan, or if he’d spoken more nicely, Isaac would p
