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
“Isaac, are you out of your fucking mind? He came to talk about a collaboration.” Allegra couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. She ran up to Isaac and shoved him harshly.Then, she quickly went over to Tristan. When she saw the bright red handprint on his face and his ferocious expression, she immediately bowed in apology and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Martin. I’m sorry. Isaac really likes to hit…”At that moment, Isaac suddenly reached out and pulled Allegra into his arms. Staring at Tristan, he enunciated each word clearly, “If you dare hit on her, the consequences will be severe. I don’t care how powerful your family is.”Allegra tried to struggle free, but Isaac held onto her tightly. She couldn’t break free and began to hit him out of anxiety and fear.From behind, Emily watched everything unfold with a complicated look.“In that case, Ms. Booth, we’ll meet again soon.” Tristan didn’t have Kingston with him today, and he didn’t know the relationship between Cameron and Isaac. Aft
“No, over my dead body. This back alley barber has no right to…”Before Cameron could finish screaming, a sharp dagger was pressed to his throat. The pain from the sharp blade made him pause.“Keep squawking, and I’ll cut a hole in your throat,” Isaac said icily.The barber was shocked.“Sir, don’t be afraid. Just shave it all off.” Isaac forced Cameron, who didn’t dare move a muscle, into a seat.The old man’s skills were rather impressive. Although it only cost five dollars, in less than half an hour, there wasn’t a hair left on Cameron’s head. His crown shone under the sunlight.“Alright, all done. This little noggin is so shiny and smooth,” the barber said, chuckling and sighing with satisfaction.Cameron’s head felt airy. Seeing Isaac put away the dagger, he picked up a hand mirror and looked at himself. Then, he burst into loud tears. Furious, he pointed at Isaac and growled, “Garten, you bastard, I spent over three thousand dollars on my hairstyle, and you destroyed it wi
