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
She found herself thinking about Isaac. She felt a burden in her heart and refused to accept the roses.Also, there were just too many people watching them!Tristan chuckled and handed the rose bouquet to the man behind him instead. Then, he gestured toward the pavilion in The Lily Pad.Seeing that Allegra was still hesitating, Tristan chuckled again and said, “My lady, I have a few things I want to discuss with you in regard to Pegasus No. 1. Would you like to hear me out?”Allegra gritted her teeth. Then, under the jealous and watchful eyes of the rest of the crowd, she followed Tristan into The Lily Pad.The marble table in the pavilion was filled with mouth-watering dishes. Everything felt so familiar to Allegra. It was the same place and view but shared with a different person this time.For some reason, Allegra felt somewhat guilty. It felt like she was doing something wrong.“My lady, I’ve been thinking. I think that you and your company are not all that bad. If we work together
Allegra had no idea that Isaac had arrived. She also had no idea that the prim and proper Tristan Martin would actually list out such ridiculous conditions on his end. She just couldn’t comprehend it.“Mr. Martin, thank you for your dinner invitation tonight, but I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me,” she said, getting up to leave.Just then, the man in the black suit outside rushed into the pavilion and grabbed Allegra by the shoulders. He then forced Allegra to sit down.“Tristan Martin! What are you trying to do? I know you’re rich and powerful, but that doesn’t mean you can go throwing your weight around like this! I’ll never agree to your conditions!” Allegra was starting to panic.“Throw my weight around? Allegra, oh, Allegra. You’re just a lowly janitor anyway, and you’re also a widow. Filthy people like you are right at the bottom of the food chain. What right do you have to call me names?” Tristan’s mouth twisted in a sneer, and he had a condescending look on h
