Right then, Stephan couldn’t hold back anymore. Trembling from head to toe, he stared at Horace with red eyes and roared angrily, “Horace, you piece of shit, do you not remember us? Do you not remember my wife, Carly Vaness? You were the one who crippled my legs.”Carly was shaking, her eyes filled with terror. Occasionally, she would sneak a glance at Horace before immediately burying her face in her daughter’s body, gripping her daughter’s arms so tightly that her knuckles turned white from the sheer force of her grip.When Horace heard this, he looked at Stephan coldly.“Haha, of course I remember. So what? This is my home. Do you think you can take revenge on me just because you followed Isaac here? What a joke.” Horace was brimming with arrogance. “Isaac, didn’t you say you’d make my entire family disappear from Aurum County? Come on, then. I’d like to see you try. If you don’t kill me today, then I’ll kill you tomorrow, and the entire Cloud City will fall into my family’s hand
“We are the Northland Guard Military Justice Special Actions Unit. Put down your weapons!” came an angry roar. Jay’s riot squad was instantly disarmed and pressed to the ground.Everyone was stunned!Those trusted subordinates and partners backing Horace immediately knelt on the ground in fear, covering their heads.Even the biggest mafia boss who dominated Southland would never have seen such a sight before.“W—What are you doing here? I am Jay Huff, the…” Jay began to roar, but before he could finish yelling, a soldier hit him in the face with his gun, and he fell to the ground.At this moment, Horace’s entire mind was blank. He immediately gave his older brother a begging look.Then, a middle-aged man with a crew cut walked out from the crowd. He strode over to Isaac and saluted, loudly saying, “Sir, Zeke Humphrey of the Northland Guard Military Justice Special Actions Unit, reporting for duty. As of now, 86 perpetrators from the Kenne family gang of Aurum County have been arr
When Isaac halted his car at the entrance of a neighborhood in Aurum County, two armed guards stopped him.Those living in this neighborhood were all big shots in Southland. Hence, the security here was considered the strictest in the entire province. Isaac was here as a visitor, so naturally, he wouldn’t force his way in. Nonetheless, he quickly spotted Louis jogging over to him.Louis gave him directions—he drove past villa after villa before stopping at the very last one. It was the residence of Connor Hart, the governor of Southland.According to Louis, Mr. Hart had come here two years ago from the provincial capital and had a very powerful background.A man in his fifties wearing a white shirt and a knitted vest stood on the steps. He gave Isaac a slight smile.When Louis saw that his boss had personally come outside to welcome his visitor, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately jogged over.He had worked for Mr. Hart for two years, and he had never seen him come outsi
“Do share.”Connor frowned slightly at that response. He sighed and said, “My son just returned from studying abroad. Perhaps it’s because I was always busy with work and didn’t have the time to discipline him, but that little rascal is not doing any useful work. All he does is mess around outside all day.”“Mr. Hart, tell me straight. What do you need me to do?” Isaac said, waving his hand.Connor smiled and answered, “I’d like to ask you to discipline my son, Mr. Garten. Of course, perhaps the word ‘discipline’ is not apt—I want my son to become your secretary or personal assistant. You already have a great army at your command at such a young age. I thought about it all night, and only you can help me with this, Mr. Garten.” With that, he sighed.Meanwhile, Louis’ mouth began to twitch violently. His boss’ son…was the devil incarnate.“But if word gets out that Mr. Hart Jr. is Mr. Garten’s personal assistant, the news would be too shocking. Frankly speaking, Cameron Hart was, f
Seeing his son’s appearance, Connor felt his heart break. He pointed at Isaac and huffily said, “Didn’t you say you couldn’t find a job? Well, I found you one. From now on, you’ll be his personal assistant.”Cameron’s mouth twitched. He stepped forward and regarded Isaac with a scrutinizing, unsatisfied gaze.“Dad, you want me to be this guy’s personal assistant? Are you joking?” Cameron complained loudly. Clearly, he didn’t have a good opinion of his new boss.At that moment, Isaac grabbed Cameron’s right index finger with his right hand. In a cold voice, he said, “Didn’t anyone tell you that pointing at your boss like this is disrespectful?”“What the fuck? How dare you lay a hand on me? You sure have the guts…” Before he could finish his sentence, Isaac bent his finger to the right.Cameron let out a yelp as a sharp pain radiated from his index finger. He knelt on the floor, his face filled with agony.Connor’s expression changed, but he still stopped himself from saying anyth
“Tell her that I can give Garth Properties the opportunity of a lifetime,” Tristan said, closing his eyes with a grin.According to the intel he received, Isaac had been trying to get close to Allegra ever since he showed up in Cloud City.Tristan didn’t know the entire truth, but he was sure of one thing—considering Isaac’s ability to purchase the best villa with 70 million dollars in hard cash, it definitely wasn’t because he had fallen for this previously disfigured widow.Hence, this Allegra must be of utmost importance to Isaac. Just knowing this fact was good enough!Just as Tristan made Allegra his target, somewhere else on Mt. Equest, in the main building of the Azure Sect, the scent of candles filled up the tea room. Sitting at the head of the table was Reece, who wore a serious look on his face. To his left was the headmaster of Azure Sect, Luke, while the headmaster of Ingot Sect, Bruno Nau, sat to his left. On the other hand, the headmaster of the Holy Division, Alexi
Allegra didn’t know Tristan, but she’d definitely heard of Reddar Corporation.Now that Pegasus No. 1 had fallen into Reddar Corporation’s hands, they definitely couldn’t get it back anymore. But now, there was a turn in the road—she never would have thought that they would have the chance to collaborate.“Ms. Sawyer, call Ms. Danson. I’ll head over with her.”By then, Emily had already been successfully recruited as the deputy head of logistics and marketing at Garth Properties.Emily, dressed in business formal, entered the office and asked with a smile, “Ms. Booth, is there good news?”After listening to Allegra’s explanation, Emily furrowed her brows and said, “Um, have a meal with Tristan? Does Mr. Garten know about this?”“Why does he need to know? All he does is fight.” Allegra waved her hand impatiently. Then, she added, “Go get ready. Let’s meet up after an hour.”At that moment, Allegra’s phone went off. When she saw it was Isaac’s number, she put it to her ear and sai
It was widely known that the development of Pegasus No. 1 could easily reach a hundred billion dollars. Just 20 percent would be over 20 billion dollars. In Cloud City, it was definitely the biggest project to date.Allegra’s heart began to race, and her face turned a deeper shade of red. “Mr. Martin, by giving us 20 percent of the project, do you have any other requests?” she asked, slightly nervous.Finally, they’d arrived at the main point. Tristan raised his hand, and the waiter immediately brought over a box of cigars. He took one out, lit it, and took a puff. With a slight smile, he said, “I don’t have requests. If I had to name one, it would be to become good friends with you, Ms. Booth. What do you think?”Emily frowned minutely. Twenty billion dollars in exchange for friendship? Surely the Martins were not this foolish?Meanwhile, Allegra merely lowered her head in embarrassment. She covered her mouth and laughed, saying, “Mr. Martin, you’re young, successful, and funny as
