“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
Long after Patrick left, Edward was still doing fist pumps in bed.The martial arts powerhouses of Mt. Equest actually wanted to work with the Gould family. He was going to make the Gould family the next Kenne family and the most powerful family in Southland!He immediately picked up his phone from his pillow and dialed Andrew’s number. Then, he said fervently, “Andy, listen closely. Sort out my discharge documents tomorrow and then prepare to host a banquet at home. Some important guests are coming.”After hanging up, Edward was so excited that he couldn’t sleep. At almost 11 pm that night, footsteps thudded outside his door.The door opened with a creak. A man wearing dark blue athletic wear and a baseball cap walked in. His face couldn’t be seen. Trailing after him was a sexy woman wearing a black leather top.“W—Who are you?” Edward looked at the two people with a nervous expression.The man in the cap lowered his head and said slowly, “You don’t need to know who I am. Now, I
Half an hour later, a black Land Rover stopped in the middle of a street full of bars. Isaac made a beeline to the door of a bar called The Charmers.It was easy to locate Cameron. After the Kenne family fell, Old Brooks’ men all came out of hiding. The very night Horace was shot and killed, Old Brooks brought a group of elites into the provincial capital and Aurum County.They took over the Kenne family’s territories in Aurum County seamlessly. Meanwhile, Cloud City had always belonged to them. Finding Mr. Hart Jr. in the nightlife scene merely took one phone call.In the most luxurious private room located on the second floor, a bunch of young men and women were swaying their bodies madly under the influence of alcohol and heavy metal music.Suddenly, the music went dead in the room, and the lights flicked on. The entire room went quiet.The young men and women turned to look at the door. Isaac had one of his hands on the switches, picking Cameron out from the crowd.“Hey, are
As soon as Isaac hung up the phone, the redhead began to ridicule him loudly, “Why do you even need an armored motorcade? Punk, do you think you’re some kind of fucking army general; asking for an armored motorcade over the phone?”“My father is an officer in the military district. You sure like to play pretend, moron, except you’re trying to fool the expert here,” a buff man said, laughing as he stepped forward. Then, he turned to Cameron and said, “Mr. Hart Jr., don’t worry. With one phone call from me, no one from the military would dare come.”Cameron nodded with a grin. Seeing Isaac’s serious expression, he couldn’t help but find the whole situation amusing.“Isaac, don’t you know that pretenders always get caught? That guy’s father manages the entire military district. Aren’t you just humiliating yourself?”The large group of young men and women burst into laughter. Right now, Isaac was nothing more than a clown in their eyes.“You have a little over ten minutes to call your
If this fatso was from the military district, then he could think of 100 ways to make him beg for forgiveness.“Punk, you want to play the hero, huh?” Beefy Bob’s lips curled into a grin.“My father is Harlow Knorr. I’m sure you know him…Fuck, why are you taking your belt off? I’m warning you not to come any closer. Put your belt back on…”Beefy Bob whipped Hank in the lower back. The latter cried out, his entire body twitching.He tried to run, but two soldiers immediately ran over to hold him down. Beefy Bob stepped forward and began to whip him aggressively.This six-foot-tall man began to bawl his eyes out.A few minutes later, the blue bloods began running for their lives on the running track. Meanwhile, Beefy Bob followed behind them, acting as the “sheepdog” as he waved his leather belt.To make things worse, Beefy Bob even made them do frog jumps, sprints, and high knee runs while they were running. Half an hour later, they practically collapsed.These kids—who were use
“Mommy! Mommy, save me!”“Daddy, please help me! It hurts everywhere! I’m going to die!”“Uncle, I think my leg is broken. I can’t stand up! Am I going to be disabled for the rest of my life?”A crowd of well-dressed, middle-aged adults rushed up to the youngsters and started crying aloud.Just then, an Audi with a military plate drove into the football field. Two more big military trucks followed suit. There was a cloud of dust when the three cars came to a halt.An agile, middle-aged man hurried down the car and headed toward Hank.As soon as all the parents were done listening to the tall tales from their sons and daughters, they all turned around to glare angrily at Isaac.“Are you fucking out of your mind? How could you do such things to torture young children? Which unit are you from?”“Yeah, tell us your unit if you dare! I’m going to make you pay for making my kid cry!”The parents were boiling with rage. However, they dared not do anything because they were aware of the men su
Isaac looked at the boy standing next to Seth. The boy was looking at him with a condescending smirk.“Bring that boy here,” Isaac said, pointing at him. Beefy Bob went over at once.Seth’s face immediately turned sour. He hid his son behind him and roared, “What are you trying to do? If you dare to lay a finger on him, I’ll kill you!”Beefy Bob simply pushed Seth away, making him stumble a few steps backward and nearly fall over. Then, he grabbed hold of the boy and brought him before Isaac.Smack!Isaac landed a hard slap on the boy’s cheek, leaving his handprint there. Then, Isaac looked at Seth and said coldly, “So now that I’d slapped your son, what will you do about it? You can look for me any time, you know? My name is Isaac Garten, so get that straight. If you still can’t find me, then call up Connor Hart. He knows where to find me,” Isaac said slowly to Seth.Seth was so mad that he started shaking. However, he knew that Isaac wasn’t someone he should mess around with.After a
Not long after hanging up, a black car drove hurriedly into Cloud Nine Villas.Louis had just come out of the car. He asked his secretary to wait in the car as he hurried into the villa.He saw Isaac sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette. He walked up to him and dipped his head slightly, saying, “Mr. Garten, I’m sorry. About Reddar Corporation…I had no idea that their opposition would be so strong. They even got someone from Pecling to back them up.”“Someone from Pecling?” Isaac asked, narrowing his eyes.Louis’s forehead started sweating. He nodded and said, “I’m always behind you, Mr. Garten. The new tender bidding will only involve Garth Properties and Reddar Corporation. A professional tendering team from the capital will be here to assist. If you lose, then I’ll lose my job as well,” Louis said, taking a deep breath afterward.Isaac looked at Louis in mild surprise and chuckled. He got up and patted Louis on the shoulder. “It’s been hard for you. Don’t worry. Nothing will go
